Batman: Arkham Asylum Guide - Walkthrough

The Morgue / Scarecrow Battle

Your job here is to not be spotted – so mind the Scarecrow's searchlight-eyes and make your way along the path.  Running jumps (hold A) will get you over the gaps, until you reach a place where you cannot move on because a wall blocks your path.  Well hey, that is what explosive gel is for, right?

Wait for the Scarecrow's eye-light to pass and then quickly move forward and apply the gel to the wall – dodging back to the morgue wall section as soon as you have applied it fully.  Do NOT blow the gel immediately – wait until the light passes on and you are crouched in the center of the wall section and only THEN blow the wall.  Why?  Because blowing the wall draws the Scarecrow's attention in a really weird cat-playing-with-mouse sort of way!

If you are in the center and crouched he cannot spot you – wait until he looks to your right (between you and the wall you blew) and then starts to look to your left around the other side of the wall, at which point you should do a running jump through the blown wall onto the next platform, where you can crouch behind the small rise there.

When it is safe to do so – meaning when he has resumed making like a lighthouse – climb up and then move to the searchlight and crouch behind it until his search passes you – at which point you hit A and get a CS in which you tip the light so it is pointed at him and Zow!  Bam! Pow! FTW!

I do not know what was in that light, but we should get more if it!  You find yourself back in the morgue at the table, having completed the objective and also having unlocked another dossier – The Scarecrow's Character Bio – man you are good at this!  In addition to that, frying that stuffed shirt netter you an Achievement: 'Daydreamer' (10 GP).

You now get a call from Oracle asking about her dad – and you sort of blow her off on that score – and hey, look, another upgrade available!  Excellent!  I went with the Special Combo Boost as my next upgrade – remember what I said about upgrading the combo moves being the fastest way to higher health and XP?
