Batman: Arkham City Walkthrough and Guide
Side-Missions -- Cold Call Killer
This side-mission consists of a series of ringing-phone events that begin when you pick up a nearby ringing phone and chat with a somewhat confused Victor Zsasz, who has been killing everyone who answers his payphone calls. Actually it is rather interesting that there are so many payphones in Gotham City considering that finding a payphone these days is a bloody miracle!
After the initial conversation, during which you start a trace-program with the Batcomputer, you complete a series of these challenges, answering the phone and then moving as fast as you can to its mate, another ringing phone, to answer that and thus prevent a murder.
Tracing the Calls to Save Lives
When you answer the phone he will begin talking, while the Batcomputer begins tracking the call points -- you need to use the Left Joystick to track the calls by following the trace (it will be green when you are on it, red when not) in order to fill the tracking bar and get enough data to track Zsasz to his location -- then you go there and finish the mission by arresting and incarcerating him!
Continue answering the calls when you encounter them and try to keep the trace on as well as you can to fill the green bar -- and when you finally do manage to do that the location of the source of the calls is marked on your map! It is now time to go pay Zsasz a visit!
-- Dealing with Zsasz --
When you arrive at his base you have to clear the thugs away from outside in order to go in -- but once you are in you discover that the inner door is locked! Well, no worries mate -- Grapnel the duct grate down off of the wall and RB up there, move through the ducts to the main area, and drop down.
Taking Zsasz Down
Basically you need to work your way around to Zsasz -- to do that jump cross then run and slide below the next area, shimmy around and climb out, then use the Line Launcher to zip to the far corner, using it again to zip to the left, which brings you to the area closest to him.
Move up to the demo wall and do a through-the-wall takedown on Zsasz! Yeah that was rather disappointing as I was sort of expecting a boss battle, but no, this was not to be...
Locking him up unlocks the Achievement "Dial Z for Murder" (25 GS) and closes the case on Cold Call Killer for once and for all! Well done!
did anyone notice the error in this? when Zsasz is recalling the poker game with the penguin he had four 6's in his hand while the Penquin had a 6 in his hand as will. Doesn't sound like a fair game to me
I noticed, but I think it's less of an error and more to serve one of three purposes:
One: It could be something just for Batman fans who pay attention to every small detail of the games/movies
Two: To demonstrate the ingenuity of The Penguin and further enforce how sly he is
3: To prove that Zsazz is, without a doubt, totally bananas.
There is a glitch that the side mission sign didn't go away but it isn't affecting the game you can ignore it anyway i readed on an other site that you must reset the game fully to get rid of that glitch i just wanted to say this bye
how can you tell where the next phone will be? (when you have to find the ringing phone before tracing)
