P07C: Delivering the Blood

Delivering the Blood

Inside the Station you will find Freeze in his lab.  You get a CS when you enter and Victor Freeze analyzes the blood, adding it to his formula and completing the cure for your poison.  In an ideal world Freeze would just hand it over, but this is not an ideal world, and he wants something from you in order to give you the cure: he wants you to rescue his wife Nora.

--== Freeze Boss Fight ==--

Though this fight is actually easier than the Ra's Boss Fight, I have to admit that I did not like or enjoy it as much as I did battling Ra's...  Basically here is the situation -- if you let Freeze get line of sight on you, you are going to get badly hurt.  You really need to keep out of his sight.

Direct attacks -- head-on -- simply do not work.  But there are a number of attacks that DO, from the standard glide and silent takedowns to the variations of the takedown attacks, but the thing you need to understand is that each one only works ONCE.  As soon as you execute the successful attack against him he will either protect himself from further use of that attack, or ice over the areas you need to launch it.  Either way, get used to the idea that you have to attack him in a different way each time.

When you do get a successful attack in, Freeze is temporarily... Well... Frozen.  Or maybe stunned is a better word.  When that happens you need to execute a rapid-fire attack on him to do some hurt and then dodge away when he recovers so he does not hurt you too badly.

The Victor Freeze Boss Battle

Now all that you need do is rinse and repeat, and eventually you will take him out.  When the battle begins be sure to check the Batcomputer as it gives you some hints on how to accomplish this.  In addition to that, be aware of the following:

-- When Freeze loses track of you he will track the heat signature of your footsteps, which means he will basically trace the path that you took.  You can use that to line him up for strategic attacks.

-- When you succeed in an attack you need to be sure you are close enough to do a series of rapid-fire attacks on him because that is the only time you can damage him.

-- Using Detective Vision is the best strategy for keeping an eye on his location at all times.

If you have trouble with this battle watch the video -- it really is not that difficult a battle if you are careful to remain unseen, which by the way I was not and I still managed to win it!

When you defeat Freeze you will unlock the Achievement "Hide and Seek" (25 GS) for your troubles.

After the battle you discover that Harley Quinn has stolen the cure -- and while all seems lost, Freeze offers you a new Gadget: Freeze Blast -- to help with the battle.  This is a sort of ice grenade and it can be used to freeze water, steam, and of course people!

Actually you will be using this sooner than you think since the regular exit to the building is now completely blocked off -- you need to find the hallway with the steam-blocked gate and freeze the steam to get out.  You also have added finding Freeze's wife Nora to your list of tasks as that is a Side-Mission.

Just past the steam-blocked gate in the room on the left side is a Trophy so be sure to grab that now, and then head upstairs and out the door that you find there!
