P09B: Working the Side-Missions

Working the Side-Missions

As you moved about solving these riddles you will have triggered the second body in the Shot in the Dark Side-Mission, which will be revealed on the map -- check that now.  Skip to section 'Side-Mission -- A Shot in the Dark' to complete that now please...

Right, that was a nice quick segment of the Side-Mission, and it gained us some additional evidence that will help to find the location of his base once we gather more clues.  That takes care of that for now, but that is not all that we have to do.

Check the map again and you will see the spot marked for where Nora Freeze is located to the far east in the Industrial District.  Head there now, and when you get there skip ahead to section 'Side-Mission: Heart of Ice' now.

Back?  Excellent!   That closes the 4th Side-Mission...

Filling the Trace Meter

As you exit the GCPD there should be a ringing phone nearby -- move around the area and listen for the phone or for a thug complaining about the ringing phone in order to narrow in on its location.  Once you find it, answer it to do the next leg in the P21B Side-Mission Cold Call Killer!  In addition to finding the phone be sure to listen for some of the remaining Political Prisoners from P21A: Side-Mission Acts of Violence and handle any that you come across as well.

-- Remote Hideaway --

Now we should head back to the Museum to hook up with the cops there since they have  a gadget for us!  Once you reach the museum head to the side-entrance to the Lounge as that will save you time and is now open to you!

Officer Jones greets you when you enter and tells you about the new Gadget -- the Disruptor: Mine Detonator -- the obtaining of which closes the file on the Remote Hideaway Side-Mission!

You should only need one more ringing phone to wrap up that trace, so sweep out in circles to locate it, and then jump to that section to finish the Side-Mission now.

Welcome back -- and well done!  You are closing out these Side-Missions so rapidly that it is very impressive, and you are leveling and adding to your kit at an impressive rate as well -- you will be happy that you did when we resume the story line, but before we do that there are some other things we need to do first.

Starting the Identity Theft Side-Mission

-- Identity Theft --

It is time to begin the next Side-Mission which is called Identity Theft.  On the map in the southwest is a marker -- place the cursor over it to get the story and then jump to Section 'Side-Mission: Identity Theft' now.

Welcome back -- you now have all of the evidence for Victim #1.  To access Victim #2 you need to have completed the Museum portion of the story -- which we have -- so head to the alley west of the church midway between the church and the western edge of the city to locate the next victim.  If you have trouble finding this, locate the courthouse on the map and then move the cursor down to the first building on the right across the street.  The alley is on the northeast side and you will have no trouble finding the body there!  Jump to Section 'Side-Mission: Identity Theft' again.

The Third Victim is located in the alley west of the Ace Chemicals Building -- so head there now and then jump back to 'Side-Mission: Identity Theft' once you have located the body!

Welcome back again!  Well mates, you have just closed Side-Mission and case seven of the twelve in the game.  Of the remaining five the one that will probably give you the most grief is Acts of Violence, since it requires a LOT of hunting to find the Political Prisoners to rescue. 

The Enigma Conundrum case will take care of itself as you interrogate more of Riddler's agents, solve riddles, and obtain more Trophies, which we will be doing as a matter of course (or you could be waiting to do in your Game playthrough either way).  The point is that it will naturally proceed, so we will not worry too much about that one. 

Obtaining the Grapnel Boost

-- AR Training --

A Shot in the Dark will also unfold naturally, which really leaves just one that we have yet to flag, and the AR Training challenges, of which there is one on the map right now.  So let's head to that and get it out of the way -- jump to Section P21K now.

Welcome back mates!  Before we continue I want to say something: if you ended up giving up for now on completing the Advanced AR Training I totally understand and there is nothing to feel bad about -- you will certainly return to them and finish them later.  If you stuck with it and knocked them out despite the massive frustration that they tend to generate, well, good on ya!  Well done!  That is the 8th out of 12 Side-Missions wrapped up, leaving only 4 more!  Nice!
