Arkham North / West

Batman: Arkham Asylum Guide - Walkthrough

Arkham North / West

As the fireworks continue you will pick up your next upgrade – I chose the Sonic Batarang of course since I am completing the Batarang upgrades.

Listen to Joker as he taunts you – I don't know, this guy has been losing all along and he still manages to maintain his sense of humor...

Now glide directly west to the far building and use your Grapple to take out the weakened wall above, then zip up and grab the Riddler Trophy here – the second from last for this area – that also unlocks the Titan Character Trophy!  Check your map – the last one is along the side of the Intensive Treatment building by the cave entrance – so go there and on the way take out some Lunatics.

To get to the final Trophy for this area run along the side of the building and enter the cave entrance at the bottom – not the one above, from which you can only SEE the Trophy.  Head up until you come to the door, then turn around and Grapple the weakened wall here – use your Line Launcher to get in and then grab that Trophy to unlock a Joker Character Trophy as well as 200 XP!

Now head back out to North Arkham proper – all that is left here is the Dancing Teeth Riddle for killing 20 so keep your eyes peeled for those, right?

Well we should now head for the gate to Arkham West – which as you know is locked, but there is the alternate route on the right side of it – so head through now.

As you enter this area you will see a large number of enemy ahead – this should be interesting, yes?

As you approach the outside of the building, be aware that this is one of the places where hurry can cost you.  The four thugs standing outside MUST be killed BEFORE you go inside if you want the Party Pooper Achievement.  Once you go inside you cannot return outside, the door is locked – so if you fail to take out the four thugs before you enter, you will not be getting that Achievement.

Inside you really have to use your combo skills to take out the thugs – it is a huge group.  You do not actually have to take them out though – they will happily cheer you on and leave you unharmed if you decide to walk through without engaging them – the choice is yours.  Either way – they are all dead or none are, you head through the door ahead and get a CS with the Joker behind the glass of a visitors booth.

What he has, to put a fine point on it, is a bomb.  That bomb is going to go off – you cannot stop it – and besides since you are now in first-person view I am not sure you would want to, otherwise you would not get to see the fuzzy images of your skinned knee and the ouchie on your hand!

You make your way through the wreckage and are confronted by The Joker – who in a long CS tells you in detail how you ruined his plans.  When this is finished, you have a fight on your hands, starting with Titans and Thugs, and eventually a Titan Version of The Joker!
