Batman: Arkham Origins: Difference between revisions

** Complete the Shiva mission to unlock a critical strike upgrade that makes this much easier to get. Flipping over an enemy and then hitting them guarantees a critical strike.

** The trick here is that the combo, flawless, and variation requirements are counted ''separately''. You can get each of these from the massive fight messes that are all over Gotham in the late game, as needed. The challenge may not pop until you complete another fight after all of the requirements are done.

* This is gonna suck. A bunch of these only count in scripted main campaign or side mission "predator rooms" that don't later repopulate with enemies, so you have a limited set of encounters to get them all in. For any challenge that doesn't require specific story arena features, go to one of the following locations and cheese enemies to get them:  

* Rank 2: Cheese in open world.

 

 

* Rank 4-5: Cheese in open world

** Get all of these in the three locations above. Note you will need the sonic batarang for rank 4. Rank 5 says it needs a "predator room", but can be done on the GCPD roof, among other places. '''Get these before you respond to an alarm in the main story.'''

** When you have a predator scenario in a bank, make sure you get this challenge completed before you finish the encounter - you will not be able to use the last enemy, either. If something screws up, restart the checkpoint before there is only one enemy remaining. The Hanging Ledge Takedown can only be done from the metal floors just below the railings on the upper level - you target an enemy passing below you. The Explosive Gel takedown has to hit an enemy that's on the ''opposite side of the wall from the gel''. The enemy needs to be fully defeated for it to count - stunned isn't enough. The vent takedown requires that the vent cover be intact.

** You get this piece of equipment when you clear Rank 10. Once you get it, 'go back out the way you came' and get it in one of the "cheese" locations above.

** This translates to "use the Remote Claw on two enemies next to railings on either side of a gap". It has to be done in a story predator mission, but the game provides a couple opportunities to do so in the same area as the propane tank. You can use a sonic batarang to get one of the enemies into position.

** Pioneer bridge, infuriatingly, only spawns crimes in progress in one story scripted case at the beginning of the game. There's a trick, though. If you get a crime in Sheldon park, beat all but the last enemy, then lead them to the southeasternmost corner under the bridge before finishing them off, the fight should count as occurring on the bridge. Alternately, some Industrial District crimes will count for the bridge and the park areas, seemingly at random.

* Detective ranks are for completing collections, and are pretty straightforward - no bugs or missable content here. Go for this in the postgame. There will be one Anarky symbol somewhere near each significant building with a sign on it, including the giant "we swear these aren't just to buffer loading" buildings. Some of them are in weird positions, such as inside pipes or in very low areas on the side of the relevant building. For Pinkney plaques, search areas on landmarks and on/near statues.

* Flawless Display: Get ready to restart a few times depending on how good you are against martial artists, ninja and blade enemies. The fight ends when Shiva's health is lowered, so to an extent you can focus on her. Note that these enemies are vulnerable to the cape stun and being jumped over- both will set the target up for at least a couple hits.
