The Achievements ------------------- There are currently 47 achievements worth 1000 gamerscore. The difficulty achievements are stackable, meaning you can beat the game on Hard and still get the Easy and Normal achievements. All the secret achievements are story related and cannot be missed. I have also been browsing Youtube.com, if you search for achievements on there, they usually have a video showing you exactly what to do. A. Big Bang - Complete story mode on Easy difficulty 50G - See Biggest Bang B. Bigger Bang - Complete story mode on Normal difficulty 50G - See Biggest Band C. Biggest Bang - Complete story mode on Hard difficulty 50G - Completing the game on Hard will also give you the Easy and Normal completion achievements. You may want to get the combo system and sneaking around down before attempting this on Hard. The game isn't too hard except when you get completely surrounded by enemies. In areas where enemeies have guns. You really need to have your sneaking down because getting shot once or twice will drastically decrease your health. The enemies also have master marksman ability. So they will pretty much hit you from any distance. When surrounded by enemies, take advanctage of the dodge move which is double tapping A and holding the control stick in a direction. For every stealth type room, there is always a strategy for getting through. Boss battles may also take a few attempts before learning the best strategies for not getting hit. D. Party Pooper - Time to break up this party 10G - You will not be able to get this until right before going to the final boss in the game. Take out the enemies standing outside and in the room right before the boss fight. They are all wearing party hats and won't attack you until you first attack them. E. Freeflow Combo 5 - Complete a combo of 5 moves (any play mode) 5G - See Freeflow 40 F. Freeflow Combo 10 - Complete a combo of 10 moves (any play mode) 5G - See Freeflow 40 G. Freeflow Combo 20 - Complete a combo of 20 moves (any play mode) 10G - See Freeflow 40 H. Freeflow Combo 40 - Complete a combo of 40 moves (any play mode) 10G - A continued combo is easy to keep until the numbers start getting higher. You will need quite a few enemies around you to get this. The more open the area the better. That way you won't be confined and risk getting hit. This is easier to get on Normal or Easy because when enemies are about to attack, you will see a blue flash over their head so you know about when to counter. You do not need to do this in story mode. You can get this in challenge mode as well. This is also easier to get once you have the Critical Attack Plus upgrade. This will give you 2 points on your combos when you pull off perfect timied strikes. If you are far from enemies and are in fear of losing your combo, you can also throw your batarang by double tapping the Right Trigger really fast. Another tip is while fighting of a titan with a bunch of enemies around. Work down the titan until you can get on his back and then swing the titans fists at the enemies. You can get pretty high combos while doing this. This will take a bit of patience and practice. I. Night Glider - Glide continuously for over 100m 5G - For this one, you will have to climb up as high as you can on top of Arkham Mansion and then run and jump and hold A to glide and go towards the door leading to Arkham North. J. Rope-A-Dope-A-Dope - String up one henchman and drop him to surprise a second (any play mode) 10G - Before you can get this, you will have to get the Inverted Takedown upgrade. You will have to be in an area where stealth is needed. You can also do this on a predator challenge. Stand on a gargoyle until an enemy walks underneath you. Press Y to swoop down and grab them up. Make sure no other enemies are near or they will spot you. After hanging the enemy upside down, swing to another gargoyle. When the other enemies come to take a look and the guy hanging upside down. Throw a batarang and the rope holding the enemy. K. Mano-A-Mano - Take on a beast in hand to hand combat 10G - You won't be able to get this until you face the titans enemies You cannot use your batarang on them or you will not get this achievement. The first chance to get it is during the double Titan fight. Let the titans run into each other and try your best to avoid them. Titans have 3 quarter bars of energy. Once one get completely depleted, run and start attacking them with the X button and you will jump on their back and start swinging them around kinda aimlessly. Just keep swinging them at the other titan. Once one titan is completely killed, this achievement is yours. If you miss this in story mode, you can get it on the Freeflow combat extreme challenges. Some have you face titans in them. L. Catch! - Catch a Batarang (any play mode) 5G - You cannot get this until you have the Remote Control Batarang Upgrade. Stand out in a wide open area and just throw the remote controlled batarang and then just make its way back to you. May take a minute to get the Batarangs controls down. M. Freeflow Perfection - Perform a perfect combo including all of Batman's combat moves (any play mode) 10G - This can be quite annoying. Batman has a good list of moves and you must do them all in one combo. Here is the list of all moves you must do. Remember, you must have all move upgrades to do this. Pick the challenge Sewer Bat (Extreme) and try this on the first round. If you mess up or get hit, simply just retry challenge. Here is the list of all the moves that must be done. Strike - X Counter - Y Stun _ B Dodge - Double tap A Quick Batarang - Double tap Left Trigger Quick Bat Claw - Double Tap Right Trigger Throw - X+A After a 5 hit combo Standing Takedown - Y+B After another 5 hit combo Ground Takedown - RIght Trigger + Y - For the Throw and Standing takedown, you will need to first get one 5 hit combo going to do one of the attacks and then get another 5 hit combo going, meaning you counter will have to be 10 or above to do another attack like that. The ground takedown will want to be the last move you perform. N. Freakshow Rodeo - Ride a beast and unleash its power 10G - You cannot get this until you are facing the Titan and enemy ambush in the elevators. You will have to deplete one of the titan's three bars of energy. After this, run up and strike the Titan and you will jump on his back, now just hit 10 enemies while on its back. O. Freeflow Bronze - Achieve 8 medals on combat challenges 10G - see Freeflow Gold P. Freeflow Silver - Achieve 16 medals on combat challenges 25G - see Freeflow Gold Q. Freeflow Gold - Achieve 24 medals on combat challenges 50G - To unlock all the Freeflow Challenges, you must first find a majority of the Riddler's Riddles in the Story mode. There are a total of 8 Freeflow challenges. You can gain a max of 3 medals per challenge. This is where you will really be tested for your combo skills. This will take a lot of patience and practice. Some of the challenges get really difficult. You get bonus points for not getting hit in a round. You also get Variation bonus points for doing a lot of different moves in a combo. YOu also get bonus points for doing the entire round with one combo. The challenges are 4 rounds long and you will sometimes face enemies with guns and knives. Remember you have to stun enemies with knives before you can attack them or your combo will be broken. Also the guys with stun rods will have to be attacked from behind by dodging over their head first. Like I said this will take a lot of practice and patience. Here are the score requirements for each challenge. Intensive Treatment - 18,000 Sewer Bat - 18,000 Shock and Awe - 30,000 Rumble in the Jungle - 30,000 Intensive Treatment (Extreme) - 30,000 Sewer Bat (Extreme) - 50,000 Shock and Awe (Extreme) - 30,000 Rumble in the Jungle (Extreme) - 50,000 R.

Predator Gold - Achieve 24 medals on predator challenges 50G - To unlock all the Predator Challenges, you must first find a majority of the Riddler's Riddles in the Story mode.
