Hnnnnngggggggg!!! 2 more weeks until this game is out on PC. If it weren't for Dark Souls and my friend's Xbox I'd be uncontrollably giddy with anticipation.

Right off the bat! The main help I need - where the hell are the Identity Thief murders?

I dunno where they are exactly, I'm having trouble with them as well... also, Deadshot Victims. But i know my Batman lore well enough to know who's committing them.... if you just want the straight up answer... not to imply that you might not know yourself. Also... Watcher in The Wings... Awesome

Great job so far guys. There are two little things that I think you need to fix though. In the Park Row picture showing the pause screen with all of the riddler trophies, you have two #5's. I assume that one of these are supposed to be a #4. In that same picture, you also haven't numbered the Catwoman Riddler trophies. I assume that this is just because it's a work in progress whereas the first issue would have been a typo. Cheers

THE BOWERY RIDDLE ANSWER #11 answer is wrong. You have to be at a high elevation where you can see the Wayne Enterprises Tower and The Church with the Question Mark on it. If you look, the Church will be tower. Basically the riddle is that the church is taller than Bruce's

After playing this for a while I think I've concluded that Deadshot and ID theft murders happen randomly, so you advance when they appear on your map, the second Deadshot victim just appeared for me so I say just be patient

Guys! I'm getting frustrated!! I haven't gotten prompted by the Riddler to solve any of his riddles and I'm almost done with the main story. Is there something I need to activate?? I want to experience the game in full and this is one part that I loved in AA and for some reason its not happening in AC for me. Thx

Yeah you need to meet him at the church soon after one of the game's first missions in which something spoilery happens. This is where he will pose his first riddle.

NVM I found it. It just means the Tyger security camera computers. I couldn't find it because I had all the cameras in this area and wasn't looking for it.

So when are the maps that have the riddle locations going to come out with the other parts of the city? I mean, Park Row has a map that I found greatly helpful. However, none of the other area's have one and I'm pretty dang lost. Also, I can't figure out how to get underneath the GCPD. I have all the gadgets I can't reach a certain breakable wall to break it and line launch in so I can't get to the James Gordon parking spot.

For now you can use the same maps from the riddler trophy sections - they show the riddles as well. And off the top of my head, I think you can glide into the breakable wall there.
