Pressure Control Room

Batman: Arkham Asylum Guide - Walkthrough

Pressure Control Room

Head through the door and crouch – two enemy ahead, so load your Grapple, target them and fire – that will jerk both off of their feet and disarm the gunman.  Now walk up and beat them senseless at your leisure mate!   Now move along the corridor, killing the Dancing Teeth as you go – there are three of them, and then go through the door.  Was I you I would crouch down and hug the wall and flick on Detective Mode to check out the location of the well-armed Thugs ahead.

Now you have probably figured this out, but I really like the Gargoyles :)  Zip up to the zip-point above and then to a Gargoyle and string up your first Thug, then immediately zip to the Gargoyle directly across from you and, if you time it right, string up another Thug!  Isn't this grand?!

The Thugs did something strange next – they split up leaving one of them isolated near me while the others went to the far side of the room – cannot pass that up right?  So I did a glide-kick and ground takedown, then zipped back to the Garg and did a glide to the nearby grate (on the left when facing south from the northern Garg). I tore the grate loose, went in and put down some explosive gel just as one of the Thugs was passing underneath – when I blew it it stunned him so I dropped down and finished him off, then disappeared like a ghost into the duct above.

The last two I just did a double-Grapple pull to disarm and then took them down the usual way – how you do it may be different, but hey, be creative mate!  There are lots of places you can lay in ambush here!  Another tactic you can use – and re-use – is to wait for the strung up Thugs to stop kicking and then cut them down with your Batarang – leaving the Garg free for stringing up yet another Thug!  How cool is that?

When they are all at the far end, go ahead and Grapple the weakened wall to the north and pull it out, then grab the Trophy there to save you some time as they are moving around to make it more convenient to kill them.  Remember we are not so much in the volume business as we are in the quality business – so make your kills in style!  Start pulling down the weakened wall nearby, climb up and scan the eleventh message from the Spirit of Arkham and give it a listen.

Now head up the stairs on the lower east leg of the area and hack the bomb here to disable it and secure the area.  This will open the door to the west corridor, where there is a pair of Thugs – a regular and a Knife Thug.  Go take them out, then continue through the door – we are pretty much done here for now, so re-enter the Pressure Control Junction and head for the center.

As you enter the west corridor kill the Dancing Teeth you encounter – there will again be three – then stop and Grapple the weakened wall and pull it down.  Jump up and grab the Riddler Trophy here, which should get you your next upgrade – I chose the Twin Batarang as mine.  Now drop back down and hit the door to the Pump Room.
