Batman: Arkham City Riddler guide

Our walkthrough to every Arkham City challenge! Every riddle, every trophy, every camera, every balloon and more!

Words: Matt Hughes on October 18, 2011

Just because you beat the game doesn't mean you're done with Batman: Arkham City. The devious Riddler has returned, and once again he's brought a slew of trophies, riddles and puzzles for the Caped Crusader to figure out. Fortunately, finding all the collectibles in Arkham City is just as fun as it was before, but if you want to grab them all quickly, we've assembled a comprehensive guide to help you outwit Edward Nigma.

Cameras are indicated on the map for each area, they're easy to spot once you're near them so we haven't included images of each. Just check the map for their locations.

How can I get MUSEUM - RIDDLER TROPHY #4? I have finished the main story and side missions, and am collecting the rest of the trophies, but when I go into the museum, the room of Riddler Trophy #4 is locked by a see-through gate, without any device to open it and no space to enter or slide into it... Is is a bug?

For the Riddler Trophy #13. I was having trouble with pulling up in time. So I threw a Freeze Blast infront of the Cage and used the Line Launcher to get over. :D

I don't know, how to blow the wall of that store, so that I can colect the riddlers #20 trophy. When I come near it and try to spray it with the explosive, he automatically turnes down and spray it to the floor. Does any one know, what should I do?

You can approach this challenge only after unlocking the Sonic Batarang and the Sonic Shock Batarang upgrade. Throw a Batarang and make it hit the floor or a wall beside an enemy’s patrol route. Once an enemy gets beside the Batarang, press the left trigger + RB to detonate the gadget.

If you are talking about the one hanging in the room with electric fences...you need to use remote batrang, i used this from the platform where the electric switch hack device is installed.
