Secret Scarecrow Lair

To find a secret lair in Arkham City, climb to the top of the boat in the industrial district, by two cranes.

Once there, use the Cryptographic Sequencer and manipulate the letters until the message "City Of Terror" is displayed.

A secret path will appear on the boat, allowing you to climb down into a infested hull. You can pick up a medical form for Jonathan Crane and see a scarecrow that reacts when you zoom in on him.

There is a second hidden message to decode. To unearth it, use the Cryptographic Sequencer with coordinates 500,900.

This hint will let you know all 10 ways to take Mr. Freeze down, so you can adapt YOUR strategies to his adaption of your strategies... My head hurts now.

1. Sneak Attack - This one is simple. Just sneak up behind Freeze for a normal Silent Takedown.

2. Rail Takedown - This one actually has two ways to do it, but when Freeze takes out the rails, both of these methods aren't able to be used. You can either hang from a rail while Freeze walks by and jump up on him, or be standing next to a rail while he walks UNDER it to take him down.

3. Grate Takedown - Another easy one. Hide in the r..
