On the ship near the complete bridge (it goes between the Industrial District and
Amusement Mile) there is a tiny raised area on it. Stop on this little platform and take out
your Cryptographic Sequencer, you will start hacking something. This hack is very tough,
but after you get it the trapdoor opens. When you go down you'll see several hundred
bugs scurrying around and a dead henchman. If you zoom in on the henchman he will
move a little bit. To the right of the henchman is a clipboard with Dr. J Crane's name on
it, and an order for several thousand of those bugs.
Taunt!
If you want to make any playable character do a "taunt", rotate the right analog stick
clock-wise repeatedly (at least twice, but more is better). This will make them move
around like at the start of a challenge map. What's even better, when you are playing
as either Batman or Robin, if you do a taunt just before you try doing a glide-kick
attack, the camera angle will show you the taunt and the attack from a different angle.
Cryptographic Sequencer Cipher
Open up your Cryptographic Sequencer and you can find three broadcasts from a
slightly fuzzy and robotic voice. It will keep saying mostly random numbers. These
numbers are actually a cipher, numeric representations of the alphabet. Two of the
broadcasts are garbage, but the third one says: "9 23 9 12 12 18 5 20 21 18 14 2 1 20
13 1 14" which translates to " I WILL RETURN BATMAN". See if you can figure out any
of the others.
Riddler Trophy Locations (Park Row)
1: East of ACE Chemicals is a gargoyle sprayed with Riddler question marks.
Climb onto here then drop down to the concealed area below for the trophy.
2: East of Trophy 1 on the roof near a wall with five Riddler question marks on
the wall. Use the Batarang to destroy the right-hand Riddler mark by waiting until the
light is on.
3: On the building north of ACE Chemicals, behind a ventilation system. Use the
remote controlled Batarang to destroy the Riddler mark.
4: On the roof of the building with Park Row written over it on the map. The
timed panel is a few steps to the west.
5: On top of the most northwestern building near Solomon Wayne Courthouse.
Use detective vision to locate all four Riddler marks. You have 4 seconds to destroy
all four marks, so use the explosive gel on the 3 hidden marks, then use the Batarang
on the final Riddler mark closest to the trophy’s locked cage.
6: There are three pressure pads in the area. Starting from the northern rooftop
overlooking the Riddler trophy, glide on to the southern wall and pressure pad.
Immediately after pressing the pad, glide over to the wall on the opposite side then
finally onto the pad on the ground closest to the Riddler trophy.
7: A pressure pad on the highest rooftop east of Solomon Wayne Courthouse
opens a gate below. Activate it then glide down into the area, then use explosive gel
to destroy the wooden panel beneath.
8: Slightly southeast of Trophy 7. On top of the roof with a nearby Riddler mark
on a chimney. Use the Batarang to activate it.
9: On the northern roof edge of the large building east of Solomon Wayne
Courthouse. Use explosive gel to destroy all three Riddler marks at once.
10: In a passageway at the most northern part of Park Row. Behind a chain
fence with a destructible wall on the right. A TYGER camera guards the area.
11: At the end of the destroyed overpass is a selection of shanties. Search
beneath the very end of the overpass for a structure with a destructible wall. Use
explosive gel on this and search inside for the Riddler trophy.
12: East of the building between the north side of the restricted area and the
Church/Medical Centre, opposite a building with a "The Black Canary" sign. Use
detective vision to locate the necessary Riddler mark, then use the remote controlled
Batarang to activate it from near the Riddler trophy.
13: On the roofs of the buildings west of ACE Chemicals and north of The
Bowery is a set of cages with electromagnets. Once you have the REC, use the
electromagnets to push the Riddler trophy out of the cage, starting with the bottom
electromagnet.
14: Near west side edge of Arkham City, on the roof behind a set of bars. This
TYGER panel will require the necessary upgrade before you will be able to hack these
controls.
15: In a short passageway along the west wall of Arkham City. Guarded by a
TYGER Camera.
16: West of ACE Chemicals, on the roof of the building that runs through the
Arkham City wall. Activate the panel by gliding from the top of the nearby gargoyles
on the Bank Of Gotham, then use dive bomb to land on the panel. Destroy the
Riddler mark with the Batarang.
17: At ground level below ACE Chemicals. Access the cage by freezing the hot
air with the Freeze Grenades.
18: Beneath an abandoned car west of ACE Chemicals. Bat-slide underneath it to
collect it as you go.
19: Behind a set of iron bars west of ACE Chemicals and next to a short barrier
with a "Do not enter" sign on it. Glide from the roof of the building to the north to
smash through the destructible wall.
20: On top of the church's roof, locked by a nearby TYGER panel.
21: On top of the church is a short passageway with an electrified fence and a
destructible wall. Use the REC on the fusebox and explosive gel on the wall to collect
the Riddler trophy.
22: In the alleyway behind the church is a cage with a set of pressure pads. You
won’t be able to access this without the Line Launcher, since stepping on the red
Riddler pressure pads will close the trophy cage above. By using Catwoman you can
collect this trophy much early. Hop onto the ceiling above the pressure pads and
scurry towards the end of the cage. At the top platform Catwoman can collect both
her trophy and Batman's trophy, providing you didn't somehow activate the red
pressure pad. – thanks to Belthizor
23: By the waterside near the centre of Arkham City's north wall. Use the
Batarang in time with each of the five Riddler marks.
24: In a passageway between two buildings west of Solomon Wayne
Courthouse, protected by a locked TYGER panel and an electrified floor.
25: Inside the larger building west of Solomon Wayne Courthouse, which can be
accessed through a destructible wall on the north-side wall. A powered gate must be
opened with the REC before collecting the Riddler trophy.
26: Follow the road east of Solomon Wayne Courthouse's entrance. The Riddler
trophy is inside a cage, which is restricted by the vent of hot air.
27: In the church behind the destructible wall of the second confessional booth.
28: In the church grapple on to the gargoyle above the entrance then drop
down onto the edge to the left with a destructible wall. If you can’t manage this,
return when you earn the Line Launcher.
29: Enter the bell tower and start climbing to the top. After taking the set of
stairs at ground level and grappling up to the next level, turn around and find the
Riddler trophy stuck to the wall. Use the Batclaw to collect it.
30: Northeast of the ACE Chemicals tower, in the centre of the roof inside a
small structure with a destructible wall.
31: West of the ACE Chemicals tower is an alleyway opposite Gotham Casinos.
Once you have the REC, use it to open the gate and collect the Riddler trophy inside.
32: Inside Solomon Wayne Courthouse, start heading downstairs at the back of
the building then turn around. Use the Batclaw on the Riddler trophy above the
doorway.
33: Inside the Solomon Wayne Courthouse, from the rear entrance to the
courthouse throw a remote Batarang through the nearby electricity then guide it
downstairs. Once there, navigate over the bars in the first room to hit the fusebox
on the far wall.
34: In an alleyway southwest of Solomon Wayne Courthouse. You'll need to leap
a chain link fence then slide underneath a small gap to collect it.
35: Slightly east of the Confiscated Goods Vault is a small chain cage, protected
by land mines. The Riddler trophy is inside.
36: In the far northeast corner of Park Row, between its border with Amusement
Mile. Use Freeze Grenades to create a platform near the trophy.

Riddler Trophy Locations (Museum)
1. At the entrance of the museum, jump left through the wooden panel. Quickly
tap L2/LT to throw multiple Batarangs at the three Riddler marks to unlock the Riddler
trophy.
2. At the very top of the trophy room is a platform you can grapple onto. The
trophy is sat on top of here.
3. There's a destructible wall in the south of the trophy room area on the top
floor. The Riddler trophy is on a set of crates inside.
4. Above the Scarface display in the trophy room is a vent. Use the Batclaw to
dislodge it then climb through to the next corridor. The trophy is protected by a
TYGER camera.
5. Slide under the barrier leading to the southwest corridor. A set of quarantine
lasers will block entry to the trophy ahead, so use the upgraded Cryptographic
Sequencer to unlock the bars.
6. In the corridor leading out of the trophy room, turn left and use the REC to
open the gate.
7. Above the last Riddler trophy is a cage with an access grate. The trophy is
inside here.
8. After surviving the Gladiator Pit and unlocking the gate you'll come to a lift
powered by the REC. Before riding the lift, activate it so you can reach and destroy
the destructible wall on the right to collect the Riddler trophy inside.
9. After riding the lift and accessing the floor above, look for a water cooling
chamber on the wall. Use the Batclaw to wrench it open.
10. From the top of the Gladiator Pit guide a remote controlled Batarang through
the electrical current and back around into the fusebox in the central corridor with
the locked gate.
11. From the last trophy, smash through the window at the end of the corridor

chamber. Drop onto the ice and use the Batclaw to open the vent.

Unlock it and collect the trophy sat on the floor.
15. Sitting inside the floor grates running along the south side of the Armory's

the trophy.
3. Jump through the glass window at the end of the first corridor. The trophy is
inside here, but its cage will close whenever you enter. First, use explosive gel to
destroy the left-hand destructible wall. Then make your way around the room so you
can see through the now-open window and use the Batclaw to grab the trophy.

look to the south for a small room with a Riddler trophy. Use the line launcher to get in
there.

you get yourself there?
