Try checking the second floor of the Warden's Office. There are (/were?) two teeth there, but there is also one very hidden toy inbetween all the cabinets (very hard to see).

S&A extreme is pure HELL. Why does the 4th round have to be exponentionally harder than the first 3. I have made it to the last round with 30k+ multiple times, but of course there I screw up royally. If your first instant takedowns are regular guys instead of knife/baton fools, you might as well forget it.
Of course, ironically, the 2 times I've made it to the very end, my score was 28k.
My problem is probably that I vault too damn much. Over the challenges I've picked up the habit to vault every 2 hits to keep the combo going. It's coming back to bite me in the ass now, since it eats up too much time

If you're already at 30K, might it be worth taking the hits on a few ground pounds just to get the guys out of the way? A trible batarang/batclaw puts three guys on the floor straight away. Otherwise just avoid mixing up the combo too much: stay on the ground, use counters/cape stuns instead of evades, and get the instant every five hits.
Whew, finally beat it on hard. I ran into a funky glitch during the
big battle before the Joker where both Titans stopped in place. One kept spinning in circles swinging and the other just rotated around waiting to smack me to death if I came close. I had to restart, and of course then it took me a while to do that well again.

Finished the story last night and am nearly done with the Riddler challenges. Even though the ending sequence is a bit uneven, this is definitely one of the best games of the current console generation and quite possibly the best superhero game ever made. Every element of the game is high quality, the attention to detail is staggering. Rocksteady deserves a ridiculous amount of respect for the credibility they finally brought to the Batman license in video games and for showing other developers the right way to do it. This game was a fantastic surprise.
Has anyone else gotten a corrupted save? I'm usually careful about hitting start, then quitting out of my session, THEN turning the XBox off. This time, though, I just waited for the little "circle save" to finish, shut the Xbox off, and BAM. My save showed up as corrupted the next time I fired it up.
Sucks, because I was almost done with the game. However, I'm really not minding going through it again. I do need to figure out how to detonate the walls that are like halfway up a wall, though. I'm sure there's an easy way to do it.

Yay, got the 40x combo trophy on Sewer Bat (Extreme); simply avoided doing any instant knockdowns, and only countered and used critical strikes to boost the combo.
I don't think I'll ever get the platinum for this game, the combat challenges are simply too hard (feels like that right now); the predator challenges aren't easy either, but they're too damn fun to pass up.

Is there a guide for the location of the secret maps somewhere?

Well, I can let this game sleep for a while! Been really fun!
Thanks Rocksteady!

I can't emphasis enough how important it is on that fight to be patient when on hard. I failed about twenty times; each time because I thought I'd try and get more hits in than I had the time for. Don't get close to him each time until he's ready to be approached up close (witness said:
You will rip the pipes off when you get him to each separate third of health
After that point I haven't struggled with much at all on hard (Showing 54% complete, heading towards

I batclaw, batclaw, (this gets the knife and electric guys out of the way right off the jump) then combo into that crowd until I have my bone breaker ready. As soon as that happens I focus that attack on one of the knife or electric guys that are farther out and away from the pack.
While time is in slow motion--and the bone breaking animation is happening--I'm spinning the camera around trying to focus on the closest non knife or electric guy to attack next. There should be more than a few and they should be grouped together.
Just continue this process and use the bone breaker combo on the more lethal guys as quickly as you can, countering when necessary.
I'll also use the throw to knock groups of guys down. You can then attack the guys on the ground and continue the combo if you need the points. If and when you're able to get space away from the larger groups, go with the ground punch.
Thanks for the advice guys. I'll probably make sure I'm close to 30k before tackling the final round, then just stop taking risks and batclaw/batarang away to take out guys, like Shake Appeal said. I don't have to worry about combos then anyway.
I'll get it eventually

hey guys my last two riddler challenges are in the pump control room in the cave system, but I can't figure out how to get back in there, it seems to be blocked by electronic barriers which don't have anything to deactivate. Anyone able to help out? One is a chronicle of arkham, and I don't know what the other is.
Darunia said:
Honestly, don't even worry about points for the first three rounds. Just get as much practice in with the fourth group as possible. Eventually you'll get so accustom to their layout that it'll make the entire process and the previous rounds much simpler. Everything seriously starts to slowdown once you're prepared for what you're up against.

haven't felt like this about a game since...Majora's Mask, or maybe MGS2. Love it, forcing myself to stop after a few hours so I can drag it over a week or two before completion.
What's the average hours you guys are taking, I'm not going out of my way to find all the items/teeth, but do wander off path occasionaly..

Does anyone know the requirement for the predator medal "surprise a henchmen by appearing from thin air"? I'm sure it's probably something really obvious, but can't seem to figure it out. It's my last predator medal to achieve, too!
Itchy//Tasty said:
Make sure that the henchman is the last one in the room (he must be in the terrified status). Then sneak up behind him until you have the option to do a silent takedown, but don't do the takedown. Instead, let him turn around to spot you. Medal unlocked. Don't forget to punch him right after the medal unlocks or he'll gun you down pretty fast.
Itchy//Tasty said:
I don't know the specifics, but if memory serves he has to be the last one. Then I just made sure he didn't see me until I was right next to him and, when he saw me, he fell back scared.
So yeah. No real clear-cut "Hit L1" or anything. Just... appear right next to him when he's all alone and thus terrified.

Hopefully the new Challenge Map is something really cool and unique. Can't wait for the sequel. I'm getting close to the end on Hard (Third play through for me) and I'm definitely enjoying Hard less. Probably because it is my third play through. Regardless when it comes down to it, I guess Arkham Asylum IS my game of the year so far for this year. When the year ends I don't know where it'll stand on my rankings but it's definitely a great, great game.

Luckily I got that achievement, just trying to finish up on those stupid riddles, then replay on hard.
We need to discuss strats for challenge mode. On Silent Knight, I'm on around 32 seconds, I have a method to join the 29 second club if I tidy up my execution. Lord knows how the no.1 got 25 seconds.
