I need help. I'm trying to get the Riddler Trophy on Bleake Island that requires the Forensics Scanner from the Batmobile. It's to the right of where you pull the Batmobile onto the roof of a building using the Power Winch. I've already watched two videos of people using the scanner and following the question marks on the ground, leading them to the trophy. However, NOTHING appears in my game. I've reset the game multiples times and there are absolutely no Riddler question marks appearing on the ground.

Can anyone help? It's absolutely infuriating. I hope it's not a glitch in my game.

Many of the riddles don't even show up until certain parts of the game. At least one doesn't appear until the very, very end, even though you get the clue almost at the beginning. Not a trophy that you can't access, but the thing you are supposed to scan doesn't physically appear until later on.

Oh, and latter part of the game boss fight spoilers:

Man,

Just had my first ever ps4 hard crash, had to pull the plug for it to respond.

 

[Simo]

I think that's actually

Spoiler

Arkham Asylum

, no?

Nope. Go to the Wayne Tower in Founder's Island and look off into the bay where the outskirts, or background, city turns in to the countryside.

Spoiler

You can't really miss it and there's even riddle attached with it. Yes you can see Arkham Asylum and Arkham City too.

 

[VanWinkle]

Finished the story. MAN what a great game. Fantastic. Couldn't believe all the crazy stuff that went on throughout.

I will now be doing most of the side content. I'm thinking I'll do a few more Riddler trophies, at least to just get

Spoiler

Catwoman

out (assuming that won't be a lot to do). I haven't even started like 5 of them, which I'm really excited about.

Cool! Will check it out when I get home this evening. Thanks for clarifying.

Scarecrow convinced Harley, Two Face, and Penguin to come up with 3 billion dollars, so that the Arkham Knight can fund his army. You find this out through a taped conversation with Scarecrow.

I didn't realise those guys were that successful, especially Harley.

 

[GeeTeeCee]

I'm about 93% of the way through the game now, still no major irritations with the Batmobile, although finding the least few militia checkpoints is proving a pain.

Just found out the identity of the Arkham Knight

Spoiler

which was incredibly underwhelming. Back when the character was first revealed I ruled Jason Todd out as way too obvious. I still think Damian would have been the better choice.

Spoiler

At least I can soothe that disappointment with the sudden appearance of Deathstroke. This game is filled with unexpected cameos.

I agree with

Spoiler

Damian, I was expecting/hoping for that. When I saw the flashback with Jason though I knew what was coming.

The AK's whiny voice meant it had to be one of them, Damian has always been a little bitch and Jason was always angsty.

Find an encounter that doesn't have a large variety of enemies. The AR challenge with Nightwing is good, there are a few door carrying enemies and a brute or two but mostly they're unprotected/unarmed enemies. Can take you're time.

Make sure you have the combo at +5 chain upgrade.

 

[Luigi87]

All I have left to do is find the remaining Riddler trophies/challenges (about 55% done there), and then beat the game... and then run through NG+ and I get the plat.

... I'm so over Riddler challenges, lol

im doing all that but seeing as ive been trying for 10 hours i dont think im ever gonna be able to get it ... and its the last trophy i need

anyone thats really good at it and wants to shareplay it for me ?

 

[Kuldar]

So I have only one riddle left to find and it's in Panessa Studio. On the map it's where

Spoiler

Robin is

. But when I try to scan it, it doesn't work. Will it be available before the end of the main story?

 

[Am_I_Evil]

so apparently there's a glitch in the game where if you complete all side missions first minus the riddler stuff, you get no ending and have to 100% the game for it to end....

this just happened to me last night and i'm pretty annoyed as i had no intention of doing all the riddler stuff...i did the stuff for Selina and that was enough for me...i don't need to treasure hunt...

apparently if i had left one other mission to do after completing the main story everything would have been fine (or more since you only need 7 complete to get an ending....)

 

[GnawtyDog]

Just finished the story. Will plat it by tomorrow or by the end of the week. So much Matrix in this game, Smith vs. Neo 2.0......heheh love it.

[Am_I_Evil]

thats no glitch

why do people keep saying this? (some people on reddit saying the same, others trying to explain what i'm about to)

there are 2 endings...if you complete 7 or more side things you can get the first ending...there is an additional ending if you complete 100%...i CANNOT get ANY ending...at all...i'm now stuck in the game until 100%....

how is that not a glitch?

 

[VE3TRO]

So what is applied to the 100% for the Riddles solved? I've just gone through how many I have left and its 130 but I've got 151 so far so thats 281 yet I only need 243 for 100%. What areas can I avoid?

Edit: Going by numbers if I leave the Airship that will be 92 less which works out to 243.

What happened at the end of the final mission? I had everything completed going into it apart from the Riddler stuff and it worked for me.

...can't think of anyone else right now but i'm not looking at the cell...

 

[Fliesen]

I hope that the Batmobile stealth part before

Spoiler

scarecrow releases cloudburst

is the worst of those sections. It wasn't that bad, but I died with one Cobra left and repeating it was pretty annoying.

I also managed to die during the part where

Spoiler

Joker sings and Robin defuses the bombs

. That was fucking awesome, possibly one of my favorite moments in the series.

This game seems heavy on moments like this and light as hell on actual boss fights. I'm not sure how I feel about this because the series has had some excellent boss fights in the past, and some not so great ones.

remember that you can make the Cobras look a certain way by shooting some wall.

so if you approach it from the side, simply shoot a wall beyond it and watch it turn its back on you.

Yeah, the Cobra lure made this a lot easier. But I fumbled with the controls killing the last one. That + the annoying zoom out when targeted + my framerate tanking to 10fps while trying to escape (PC here) meant I got killed.

 

[Korosenai]

50% done with the riddler stuff... It's a pain but not that bad honestly.

activate the Knightfall Protocol mission? I have 9/14 Most Wanted missions complete.... I thought the "second" ending was Bruce just mentioning Knightfall, but I've since read I should actually be able to do another mission at this point. There was nothing on my mission wheel to indicate this though, and and my bat symbol waypoint was just directing me towards the next Riddler mission.

I've encountered a fair few bugs during my playthrough (XB1 version), so maybe it's another one of those.

He just shows up, probably after the last time you visit his airship. I just walked into the GCPD at one point and he was hanging out in there.

Weeeeiiiird. As I mentioned a few posts up, I'm having the same problem... though I do NOT have every Most Wanted mission complete (but I do have more than the 7/14 threshold needed to trigger it).

Super lame. I was planning on getting 100% anyway, but it will take me a while.

once you do one more it should trigger...you should be fine since you have other stuff left....

It's not any seven side missions. The first part of Knightfall is done by catching all of the main villains in the sidequests. Completing the bomb or outpost missions don't count towards that number. The second ending is 100% completion.

I actually got it during a regular play session. Didn't make it a point to go for it or anything. But I would say, you probably will have a better time getting it doing it on the Nightwing/Batman challenge. Having two people will give you more variety of moves to use.

What I usually do is, everytime I get a takedown meter, I will perform a different move. First will be a regular takedown, second time will be the charged batarang, next meter it will be the charged batclaw takedown...etc etc....

Sorry if this has already been asked, but what do the rival points do in AR challenges?

Rival points are for the leaderboards and battling friends scores. You can 3 star a challenge, but getting above a certain time or score will add more rival points.

What happened at the ending for you?

Spoiler

Mine was coming to save Robin and Gordon, locking Joker away forever then beating Scarecrow and sending him to GCPD. After that Batman told Alfred to ready Nightfall which then I got the message saying to ready Nightfall I needed to capture Riddler and that a New Game+ was now available.

He showed up in the jail cell with the others automatically.

Spoiler

Another thing I also did was talk to them all. I think for Nightfall you need to have 100%. Thats what its telling me on the mission menu.

It's just tank section after tank section, punctuated by an incredibly disappointing encounter with the Arkham Knight.

From a gameplay perspective, it's pretty poor.

ok....not really the point though since i have them ALL done except for Riddler...

that's also what i got...

Spoiler

but there's a first Knightfall ending you can get by getting the other cirminals in jail...but apparently getting them all first before scarecrow screws that up...Riddler is only SUPPOSED to be required for the extra part after the Knightfall ending...you should be able to trigger Knightfall after the other stuff....

 

[DrGonzo615]

Ok so, I have 100% completion except for Riddler.

Spoiler

Should I go to the Knightfall initiative?

or should I finish collecting all the Riddler stuff? Or does it matter?
