Batman: Arkham City Subway Riddler Trophies

SUBWAY - RIDDLER TROPHY #1

As soon as you enter the subway station, take the north stairs and turn right as you descend. You’ll spot a vent along the right wall. Pull open the cover and find a trophy just inside.

SUBWAY - RIDDLER TROPHY #2

Look for some floor grates near the tracks. Open them up and you’ll find a trophy.

SUBWAY - RIDDLER TROPHY #3

As soon as you enter the subway station, look for a ticket booth. The trophy is inside that booth, blocked off by heavy bars. Use your cryptographic sequencer on the console to gain entry.

SUBWAY - RIDDLER TROPHY #4

If you’re coming from the west, look for a door at the back of the room as soon as you enter the subway station. Past that door, you’ll spot a Catwoman trophy. Turn right and look for a vent cover. Crawl through it, then use explosive gel on the floor after you emerge.

SUBWAY - RIDDLER TROPHY #5

On the lower floor of the western subway station (the one with the tracks) you’ll notice a console on the eastern wall. Use your cryptographic sequencer on it to open the large metal doors. Enter the train car on the left to find your trophy.

SUBWAY - RIDDLER TROPHY #6

Look for this area between two cars, one of which is stuck in a collapsed wall. The trophy is on the ground between them.

SUBWAY - RIDDLER TROPHY #7

Look for a structural weakness at the end of the southern tracks (before you enter the room with the thugs) that blocks off the northern track. Turn left. The Riddler panel lights up three switches located on the roofs of the subway cars in front of you. Stand on the panel and use your remote Batarang to hit the switches. A timer will begin counting down as soon as you hit one of the switches, so make sure to start with the furthest switch and use the boost on your Batarang as much as possible.

SUBWAY - RIDDLER TROPHY #8, #9, #10

Duck under the Riddler door very near trophy #7 to find a room with three caged trophies. Use your cryptographic sequencer to hack the console. This will open the cages, but it will also electrify the floor and close off the exit. Use your line launcher: tight rope to wait out the electricity, then claim your prizes.

SUBWAY - RIDDLER TROPHY #11

You can use your grapple to get up to this trophy from the room below it. Use your cryptographic sequencer on the console next to cage.

SUBWAY - RIDDLER TROPHY #12

From atop the gargoyles in this room, you can spot some weak wood panelling on the west side. Glide through it to find a trophy.

SUBWAY - RIDDLER TROPHY #13

Crawl through the opening that runs under the stairs, as seen here. There is a trophy waiting for you.

SUBWAY - RIDDLER TROPHY #14

There is a room just above trophy #13. Stand east of that room and look up at it. You can shoot your remote electrical charge at the fuse box through a gap.

SUBWAY - RIDDLER TROPHY #15

Check the ceiling of this subway car. Use your Batclaw to get the trophy down.

SUBWAY - RIDDLER TROPHY #16

There is a metal door that can be partially opened using your remote electrical charge. Do a running slide under it and find a trophy resting on a crate to your left.

SUBWAY - RIDDLER TROPHY #17

Use your freeze blast to create a raft in the pool at the bottom of this room. The trophy is along the southern edge.

SUBWAY - RIDDLER TROPHY #18

In the same room as #17 you’ll spot a caged trophy on the wall just below a console. Use your cryptographic sequencer with range amplifier to open the cage. Then use your Batclaw to grab the trophy.

SUBWAY - RIDDLER TROPHY #19

In this corner you’ll see several sections of soft wood panelling and some floor grates. You can go through the panels or the grates, just make sure to descend the short staircase you see afterwards to find a trophy.

SUBWAY - RIDDLER TROPHY #20

Use your line launcher to reach this trophy.

SUBWAY - RIDDLER TROPHY #21

In the room with the two waterfalls (for lack of a better word) look up. There is a point where you can use your grapple.

SUBWAY - RIDDLER TROPHY #22, #23, #24

Use your explosive gel to destroy the structural weakness guarding these trophies. Crawl under the door, step on the panel, and hit the Riddler switch that turns on behind you. This will open the cages, but it will also release steam from the six vents in the room. Use your freeze blast to stop the steam before it kills you. After you close all six vents you’ll be able to leave the room.

SUBWAY - RIDDLER TROPHY #25

In the room with the two waterfalls, chuck a freeze blast into the water to create a raft. From the raft, you can spot this trophy on the wall. Use your Batclaw.

SUBWAY - RIDDLER TROPHY #26

There’s a gate blocking you from this trophy. The gate is controlled by the fuse box beyond it. Run south down the tunnel until you find some electric arcs running across the ceiling. Pilot a remote Batarang through them and all the way back into the fuse box.
