Arkham Asylum Challenges[]

Each unique set of locations in the game (e.g. one building or one of the island sections) has a number of associated Riddler Challenges, which can be solved to earn XP and unlock bonuses, such as character profiles, character trophies, and challenge mini-games. There are several distinct types of challenges: File:Ark mansguardtowerArkhamInterviews 01.jpg The Riddler challenges Batman to find these audio reels scattered throughout Arkham Asylum in doctors' offices, guard towers, and sometimes strewn around across the floor and in the unlikeliest of places. These tapes may require some serious searching to locate, but provide interesting psychological depth on Arkham Asylum's most infamous inmates. This reel (above) is on a wooden desk in the nest of the Arkham East guard tower.*Riddler Trophies: These green question-mark statues are scattered all over, sometimes out in the open, sometimes hidden in difficult-to-access areas.

  • Riddles: More or less cryptic clues describing specific locations or objects. To solve the riddle, the described object or scene must be visible on-screen and must be "scanned". These range from obvious (One riddle simply name-drops Prometheus and requires Batman to scan a wanted poster for the villain) to the cryptic (one riddle mentions the "end of days" for a murderer, referring to the cell where the Calendar Man sleeps).
  • Joker Teeth: The Joker has scattered a lot of "chattering teeth" gag toys, often in groups of two or three. To fulfill the challenge, a certain number of teeth (5, 10, 20) must be destroyed.
  • Perspective Riddles Two halves of a question mark have been painted on the scenery (only visible in Detective Mode). When viewed from the right perspective, they line up to form a whole question mark, which can be scanned to solve the riddle.
  • Interview Tapes: Audio tape reels containing patient interviews and doctor's notes can be found in many locations, giving insight into some of the major characters in the game.
  • Chronicles of Arkham: All over the Island there are scribbled messages on decorative stones, in the same spiraling style that Amadeus Arkham once used. Batman must scan these messages to decode them.
  • Riddler Maps: Each location set contains one map which reveals the approximate placement of all the other challenge items, by placing floating question marks on the in-game map.

Some of the items are initially inaccessible and can only be accessed after Batman has collected a specific gadget. Since this requires revisiting locations when the actual plot of the game does not require it, the game allows the player to continue exploring the island, even after the reaching the end, in order to achieve 100% completion.

Riddles[]

The many riddles and puzzles the Riddler has scattered through Arkham include cryptic clues describing specific locations or objects. To solve the riddle, the described object must be visible on-screen and must be "scanned". The Riddler will pose actual riddles for Batman to solve in specific areas throughout Arkham, who will be notified as soon as he enters a room. These riddles are generally solved by one of two ways but the means in which you solve them remains the same. Batman will either need to find a specific object the Riddler is talking about or find a disjointed question mark symbol and line it up from a certain perspective.

  • Riddle 1: "Don't cut yourself on this sharply observed portrait."

After receiving the first message from the Riddler in the Intensive Treatment Lobby, Batman must turn around and look to the left of the ladder for a portrait of Warden Sharp, scanning it to solve the riddle.

  • Riddle 2: "A puzzle has many sides, but only some are visible."

Before leaving the Intensive Treatment Lobby, Batman must look around the windows of the offices in the middle of the room to solve this puzzle. He's looking to put together a hidden question mark. Its body will be separated from the period. Batman must use Detective Mode to find the body of the question mark on a window of the office, then turn around until he has lined up the dot on the wall just underneath the body. When it looks like a "?", Batman must scan it to complete this riddle.

  • Riddle 3: "You don't know Jack about Gotham. Tune in to find out."

To solve this riddle, Batman must enter the Utility Corridor of the Intensive Treatment Center. When he enters the guards' locker room, Batman must listen for the sound of a radio and find it. Batman then must look at the dial on the radio to locate the name Jack Ryder, scanning it to complete the riddle. Doing so will unlock Jack Ryder's Character Bio.

  • Riddle 4: "Hook up with the relatives before you're transferred out of here."

In the Cell Block Transfer Corridor of the Intensive Treatment Center, Batman must use the Cryptographic Sequencer to unlock a door on the right.

  • Riddle 5: "Dr. Jonathan Crane plans on elevating fear to new depths."

To solve this riddle, Batman must jump down on top of the locked elevator Scarecrow used to escape in the Intensive Treatment Center. Crawling through the ventilation shaft here, Batman will find a cave littered with paperwork - scan the blueprints to solve this riddle.

  • Riddle 6: "A top hat and tails is the only dress code for this party in the North." The solution to riddle #6.

When Batman revisits the Transfer Loop in Intensive Treatment, halfway through as he heads east is an office that Batman needs to crouch to get into.

To decipher this puzzle, Batman must stand outside the ruined building, by the archway in Arkham North.
