This is gonna suck. A bunch of these only count in main campaign or side mission areas, 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:

Get this in the introduction sequence - the game guides you through it. All three have to be done in a single "encounter".

Get all of these in the three locations above. Note you will need the sonic batarang for rank 4. '''Get these before you respond to an alarm in the main story.'''

This is the bullshit one. One location in the game has all of the features needed for this challenge, it's used for two encounters, with any damage to walls being ''kept between the two encounters''. The final enemy surrenders, so you can't use takedowns on them, either.

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.

These can all only be done in formal predator areas, either in the main quest or in some side missions. Try to have Rank 9 finished before you go to a hotel - the lobby will be good for Rank 10, and will unlock equipment needed for rank 11.
These can all only be done in formal predator areas, either in the main quest or in some side missions. You pretty much need to have Rank 9 finished before you go to a hotel - the lobby will be good for Rank 10, and will unlock a piece of equipment needed for rank 11.


* Rank 11: Take out an enemy with the Sonic Shock Batarang.
* '''Rank 11''': Take out an enemy with the Sonic Shock Batarang.


This requires clearing the aforementioned hotel lobby. Once you get it, go back out the way you came and get it in one of the locations above.

* Rank 12: Complete a Predator Encounter with a High threat level or above by performing at least five different takedowns.

This also requires a story or sidequest predator room. Stay away from the hotel (yes, this is insane, but near-mandatory to complete the challenges). The Black Mask sidequest will give you a predator room to do this at its conclusion. This only gets rewarded when the encounter is completed, which sucks. Be sure you got 5 different stealth takedowns!

Complete in one of the locations above. The boat works well for this. Now you can finally go back to the hotel.

The game hands you two opportunities to do this - once in the hotel and once in the area that comes after it.

* Rank 15: Pull two enemies over a railing at the same time using advanced gadget techniques.
* '''Rank 15''': Pull two enemies over a railing at the same time using advanced gadget techniques.


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 both enemies into position.
