Batman: Arkham City Riddler guide - how to find and solve every Riddler challenge

Batman: Arkham City Wonder City Riddler Trophies

WONDER CITY RIDDLER TROPHY #1

Turn around and face the entrance to the collapsed streets, then look up. Use your freeze blast to block the steam, then grapple up and grab your trophy.

WONDER CITY RIDDLER TROPHY #2

Instead of grappling up to the steam vents as per #1, look up and to your right. Grapple up here to find trophy #2.

WONDER CITY RIDDLER TROPHY #3

Use your freeze blast to create a raft in the water below, but make sure you throw it all the way to the other end. From that raft, use your grapnel boost to bust through the soft wood panelling on the ceiling. You can then grab the trophy with your Batclaw.

WONDER CITY RIDDLER TROPHY #4

You’ll notice that whenever you enter the same room as trophy #4, the cage around it will close. Clear the window in this building using explosive gel, then exit and use your line launcher to go around the other side. You’ll have a clear shot at the trophy through the window you just cleared; use your Batclaw.

WONDER CITY RIDDLER TROPHY #5

Without moving from the ledge you used to grab #4, use your Batclaw to claim trophy #5 as well.

WONDER CITY RIDDLER TROPHY #6

In the middle of the water down below floats a trophy. Use your freeze blast to create a raft near it, then simply jump to your raft and grab the prize.

WONDER CITY RIDDLER TROPHY #7

Go back to the platform you stood on to reach trophy #4. From here you can grapple up to the second floor of the building that contains this trophy. Look to the ceiling when you get up there.

WONDER CITY RIDDLER TROPHY #8

Use your cryptographic sequencer to hack the console, opening the large metal door. Descend the stairs and look up at the ceiling to find this trophy.

WONDER CITY RIDDLER TROPHY #9

Use your cryptographic sequencer on this console to lower the bars.

WONDER CITY RIDDLER TROPHY #10

There’s nothing difficult about this one. Just drop to the lowest level and check this corridor.

WONDER CITY RIDDLER TROPHY #11

Use your explosive gel on this structural weakness. The trophy is just behind it.

WONDER CITY RIDDLER TROPHY #12

Simply look up at the ceiling above this caged trophy. Throw your Batarang at the Riddler switch there.

WONDER CITY RIDDLER TROPHY #13

Use your cryptographic sequencer with range amplifier to hack the console beyond the fence.

WONDER CITY RIDDLER TROPHY #14

You can leap out over the water and use your grapnel to get onto this ledge.

WONDER CITY RIDDLER TROPHY #15

This trophy is frozen solid and hanging from a rope in mid-air. Use your Batarang to get it down, then use your freeze blast to create a raft next to the trophy in the water.

WONDER CITY RIDDLER TROPHY #16

Use your line launcher to create a tight rope high above the water. Use your freeze blast to create a raft underneath the trophy, then use your Batclaw to get it down.

WONDER CITY RIDDLER TROPHY #17

On the middle floor of this building you’ll find a caged trophy. Step on the panel and use your line launcher to reach another panel to the north. From there, look west and use your line launcher again to reach that panel. The cage will then be opened.

WONDER CITY RIDDLER TROPHY #18

There is a small opening that you do a running slide through at the bottom of the Billingham Butchers building.

WONDER CITY RIDDLER TROPHY #19

This one is at street level, resting in a baby carriage.

WONDER CITY RIDDLER TROPHY #20

Walk straight into the drugstore and blow the structural weakness in front of you with your explosive gel. On the other side you’ll see a caged trophy. You need to throw a remote Batarang all the way around the building to the other side of the wall and hit the Riddler switch. You’ll then have about 10 seconds to grab the trophy. If you’re already standing near it, this won’t be a problem.

WONDER CITY RIDDLER TROPHY #21

Just punch through this soft wood panelling to reach the trophy.

WONDER CITY RIDDLER TROPHY #22

Use your disruptor: mine detonator to disable the proximity mine here, then just do a running slide to get your trophy.

WONDER CITY RIDDLER TROPHY #23

Use your remote electrical charge on the generator at the foot of this door. The trophy waits on the other side.

WONDER CITY RIDDLER TROPHY #24

When the elevator stops and you step out, turn right. You’ll see a trophy behind some bars. You need to go in the other direction, and shimmy all the way around the tower instead of dropping down where you normally would.

WONDER CITY RIDDLER TROPHY #25

Climb Wonder Tower. Just after you cross the wire, you’ll be able to grapple further up the tower. As soon as you get up there, drop back down. You’ll land on top of a cage, and the trophy will be to your right.
