I have a problem getting riddler trophy number 4. When I go into the museum and walk down that hallway, there is stuff blocking the access to it? Does it ever open up because I played through just doing the main story and I never saw it open up. Is there an alternate route to get to it that I'm just severely overlooking? Thanks!!

Umm If I remember correctly the case that has scarface in it, above that there is an open air duct to climb through.

This will be very useful. I have about 150 done as of right now and I'll hopefully double that before resorting to this, but I have found a few trophies I have no idea how to get.

collecting the riddler trophy's with catwoman is a chor, and i think is unfair to second hand buyers as they wont be able to complete the game 100% without paying out for the DLC. Great walkthrough guys i had around 365 and your guide helped me mop up the rest. Many thanks

I think your 19th Trophy is wrong, I've already got that one but it's showing as missing.

For Riddler trophy 7 in this Amusement Mile, I found putting the gel in the bottom 3 and standing on the fence in between the 2nd and 3rd ? marks on the top row (facing them) blowing up the gel and doing the quick batarang on those 2 then just jumping to the other fence to take care of the last one was an easier way. Doing it that way puts 2 riddler marks right in front of you and jumping to the next fence and just using a batarang quickly on that saves a good 2 seconds almost.

I was having serious problems trying to get this trophy (Amusment Mile #7) until i read ur comment, It became much easier. Gel the Bottom 3.. and stand on the roof ledge opposite the top 3.. you can hit them all without moving. I was able to do it the first try.

Small issue . Xbox . There is no grating outside the powered door for catwoman trophy 1. How does one get in?

I just picked up a green Riddler trophy with Catwoman. Are the green trophies for both of them and the pink/red/purple/whatever color they are only for Catwoman? Well, I know that the whatever color trophies Batman can't pick up, so the question is are the green ones available to both parties?

the pink trophies are available for pick up only by cat woman but the green ones she can pick up aswell. HOWEVER catwoman can not complete a good deal of green trophy challenges ones that involve batman specific equipment. so you really have to use both characters to get all the trpophys.

I have been having a lot of difficulty getting the Aerial Attack challenge. I do execute the stun, dance on the enemy's head and then immediately launch an attack into another nearby enemy. Yet, when I check my progress it still says 0/3? Has anyone else had this problem? What am I doing wrong?

After you daze the thug and run up his front you have to press away plus box and hit another thug, the thug you run up should not get hit he is only a platform from which to achieve the "Directed" aerial attack move. Good luck

Before I go completely insane trying to figure this out: how do I get enemies to hit eachother using the REC? I've pulled it off twice so far, but I don't remember when/how and I just spent two hours zapping armed thugs standing next to eachother hoping that they'll hit the other guy. I'm hoping I'm missing something, because if the challenge is this random, it's pretty annoying. (I've gotten everything else, it's just this one last physical challenge nagging at me...)

Just put an enemy with body armor between you and a normal thug, and shoot the REC at him with R1. I did it on my first try, once I knew what to do, so good luck! :P

I just finished this challenge this morning but was having the same difficulty. Stop trying to shoot armed thugs and go after the ones in front of the courthouse. At least one thug should have a knife or a bat, wait for them to get close to on another and then let 'em have it.

The thug you shoot has to be facing the other thug in order the hit him, standing next next to him is not enough.
