AR challenges: the base game

Take all 23 base AR maps to three stars on a walk round the city, for the three star trophies and A Leap of Faith.

With both runs done, the AR maps are next. This section takes the 23 base maps to three stars each, which earns Sins of Youth, Fortunate Son and Absolution on the way, and adds A Leap of Faith after the last race. Load your run 1 save: free roam is open and every gadget and upgrade you bought is there. Each entry starts with the small task that unlocks its map, done out in the city, and many of those will already be done. The walk goes round Bleake, Founders', the Lady of Gotham and Miagani so those tasks fall in order. Once a map is open, run it from its blue marker or from AR Challenges on the main menu, whichever you like. Repeat runs with other Batmobiles and characters wait for the next sections.

Blunt Trauma or Brutality 101 still open?

Star runs can use AR Challenges on the main menu, and stars are not reported lost there. Only these two trophies are at risk: they count campaign progress, menu runs are reported not to keep it, and no patch addresses that. If either is still open, start the map at its blue world marker in a story save, finish it, carry on back to the city and do not press retry.

Stars do not need any set order: three on each of these maps is simply the sure way to 69. Each map also pays one WayneTech point the first time it reaches three stars, so spend those as you go on anything still unbought.

Start at the GCPD on Bleake Island with the Batmobile. The eight maps here make 24 stars.

Mental Blocked, 3 starsAchievement
Location
AR Challenges · The Cauldron – Unlock: Riddler Trial 01 opened it. Marker: it should be at the garage with the green question marks in the Cauldron train yard, close to the GCPD, where you raced the trial; if the map shows no marker, start it from the main menu. Stars: a lap in 1:00, 0:48 and 0:42. Tip: this is the trial's toughest lap. Flip the red and white blocks with the Riddler code, ride the wall where the floor falls away, keep the Afterburner on, as it never runs out here, and drift the corners.
Requires
Summary
Batmobile Race map: one lap of the first Riddler sewer track. Three stars need a lap under 0:42.

Under the Pale Moonlight, 3 starsAchievement
Location
AR Challenges · Panessa Studios roof – Unlock: if you did this before run 2, the map is open. If not, restart the Predator Fundamentals icon on the Falcone Shipping roof, coat the back of a weak wall or wood panel in Explosive Gel, send a Soldier to it with the Voice Synthesizer and detonate as he arrives. Marker: the roof of Panessa Studios. Stars: a x4 Fear Multi-Takedown; a Voice Synthesizer lure onto a gelled weak wall; the Boa drone controller last. Tip: from the start, drop to the floor grate in the small hallway below, which leads to a room of three weak walls. Gel one, go back and lure a patroller. Those who come to help make your group of four, and the controller stays alone until the end. If it stays grey with the unlock done, it may be the reported save bug from the story warnings: restore a backup save from before it, or replay the story to that point.
Requires
Summary
Predator map on the Panessa Studios roof: a big squad, some of them camouflaged, with Medics and a drone controller. Each star is one set task.

Combo Master, 3 starsAchievement
Location
AR Challenges · Panessa Studios roof – Unlock: sprint at a tall roof edge that has no guard rail until the dive prompt shows, and take it. Marker: the small round rooftop on Panessa Studios, so check the map if it is not beside you. Stars: a combo of 10, 25 and 50. Tip: once past 10 hits, any broken combo or hit taken ends the run. Stick to simple strikes and counters, vault to the next target, and never mash.
Summary
Combat map on a small round rooftop, on default Batman. Three stars need a 50-hit combo.

One Man Army, 3 starsAchievement
Location
AR Challenges · Panessa Studios car park – Unlock: done at Point of Impact, by a jump of over 50 m with the Afterburner. Marker: the Panessa Studios car park, below the roof. Stars: 2,000, 4,000 and 8,000 points. Tip: the score lives on the combo, so dodge everything, hit the weak spots and fire a Missile Barrage whenever it is full.
Requires
Summary

Road Rage, 3 starsAchievement
Location
AR Challenges · Bleake streets – Unlock: in that same car park, hit the Afterburner and hold one drift for 3 seconds. Marker: its blue marker is somewhere on Bleake, so set it from the map. Stars: 3, 6 and 10 armoured cars on a 2:00 clock, with 3 seconds gained per car and 3 lost per hit. Tip: ram cars side-on with the thrusters, which is quicker than the Immobilizer. Keep around the Clock Tower, the GCPD and Chinatown, and turn back if the road empties.
Summary
Batmobile Hybrid map across Bleake's streets, open to any Batmobile. Three stars need 10 armoured cars.

David and Goliath, 3 starsAchievement
Location
AR Challenges · Bleake streets – Unlock: in any street fight, land three throw counters in one combo. Marker: on Bleake, so set it from the map. Stars: six Cobras in 5:00, 3:45 and 2:30. Every kill adds two more Cobras and every hit adds 10 seconds. Tip: stay out of their vision cones on the radar and shoot from behind. After each kill, switch to car mode and race to another part of the island before they close in. The Cobra Distract upgrade helps if you own it.
Summary
Batmobile Hybrid map over most of Bleake: a Cobra hunt in the Arkham Knight Batmobile. Three stars need six kills in 2:30.

Smash and Grab, 3 starsAchievement
Location
AR Challenges · Chinatown – Unlock: Two-Faced Bandit opened it. Marker: the Bank of Gotham in Chinatown, the mission's first bank. Stars: 10 takedowns in 3:00, 2:00 and 1:15, with more enemies always arriving. Tip: you start with a Fear Multi-Takedown ready, so drop on the pair in reception. Take the grates to the offices for silent takedowns to recharge it, then spend it where the crowd is thickest. The panel behind the counter takes the Remote Hacking Device and sets off a stunning dye pack.
Requires
Summary
Predator map in the Chinatown bank with the alarm already on. Three stars need 10 takedowns inside 1:15.

Midnight Fury TT, 3 starsAchievement
Location
AR Challenges · Chinatown – Unlock: build top speed in the Batmobile and Super Eject, then glide 300 m with no Grapnel. Dive at the top of each rise and pull up late to climb again. Marker: the race starts in Chinatown. Stars: 2:15, 2:00 and 1:45. Tip: take the ramp before the bridge at full Afterburner, or the car drops into the gap and the run is gone. Follow the green rings, drift the corners and only take hourglasses on your line: each is worth 3 seconds.
Requires
Summary
Batmobile Race map: a big lap of Bleake from Chinatown to Perdition Bridge, through Panessa Studios. Three stars need 1:45.

Sins of YouthAchievement
Location
AR Challenges · Chinatown – This comes during the eighth map above, which takes you past 23. A map's stars count once, at its best result, so repeat runs add nothing. If it has not appeared, look in the AR list for a map short of three stars.

Cross Perdition Bridge to Founders' Island for five maps, then glide out to the Lady of Gotham for a sixth.

Slumdog Billionaire, 3 starsAchievement
Location
AR Challenges · Undercity – Unlock: Campaign for Disarmament opened it. Marker: it should be at the undercity roundabout mine by Airship Alpha (2039, 1569), the Founders' fight with this many tanks. Stars: 8,000, 16,000 and 24,000 points. Tip: kill Mambas and Dragons first, the Dragons with the Vulcan Gun, then keep dodging to feed the Missile Barrage. A level 4 Barrage hits ten at once, and firing one also opens Big Game Hunter: if that map is still locked, run this one from its marker.
Requires

Big Game Hunter, 3 starsAchievement
Location
AR Challenges · Founders' streets – Unlock: fire a level 4 Batmobile weapon, for example in Slumdog Billionaire; an upgrade that keeps your energy helps. Marker: on Founders', so set it from the map. Stars: six Cobras in 5:00, 3:45 and 2:30. Tip: any detection ends it, and the Cloudburst tank roams too. Use the alleys and radar to shoot from behind, then leave at once and let the others settle before you go for the next.

Tower Defense, 3 starsAchievement
Location
AR Challenges · Wayne International Plaza – Unlock: in a street fight, knock a thug down, crouch by him and press Cape Stun to lift him, then Beat Down. Do it three times to be safe. Marker: the top of Wayne International Plaza (near 2259, 1332). Stars: 4,000, 8,000 and 16,000 points. Tip: one long combo with varied moves is what scores. Use the pick-up Beat Down early, vault the knife men, stun the Brute before hitting him, and only fire a quick gadget when it will connect.
Summary
Combat map on top of Wayne International Plaza: three waves, 15 thugs and a Brute. Three stars need 16,000 points.

Seek and Destroy, 3 starsAchievement
Location
AR Challenges · Founders' streets – Unlock: stopping hostile cars away from the Batmobile, as you did for The Real Deal, so it should be open. If not, thug cars still turn up in free roam: land on one from a glide or counter it head on, three times in all. Marker: on Founders', so set it from the map. Stars: 4, 8 and 12 armoured cars on a 2:00 clock, with 3 seconds gained per jeep and 3 lost per hit. Tip: ram jeeps side-on with the thrusters and hit any APC too, which is worth more time. Turn back or boost to another street if the road empties.

Knight Time Strike, 3 starsAchievement
Location
AR Challenges · Founders' streets – Unlock: two Perfect Shots in a row, which your five at Point of Impact covered. Marker: on Founders', so set it from the map. Stars: 3:30, 2:45 and 2:15, with 5 seconds added per hit taken and 3 off per hourglass. Tip: the fights come as four Rattlers, five Rattlers, then Rattlers with Diamondbacks. Hold your Missile Barrage for that last one, and drift corners, which slows the clock.

Stars: 7,500, 15,000 and 30,000 points. Tip: a dropped combo costs nothing, so go slowly: hop between targets, counter everything and never touch a stun baton. Take out Medics as soon as they appear.
Requires
Summary
Combat map on top of the Lady of Gotham, played as Azrael. Three stars need 30,000 points, and any damage ends it.

AR Challenges · Botanical Gardens – Unlock: story progress opened it. Marker: by the Botanical Gardens (near 3251, 2170). Stars: 2,500, 5,000 and 10,000 points. Tip: kill the six Mambas first, even though they fire from the raised centre. Varied attacks pay a bonus, so use EMP, Drone Virus and Missile Barrage and keep the combo going.

City Heat TT, 3 starsAchievement
Location
AR Challenges · Bristol – Unlock: if you did this before run 2, the map is open. If not, start a glide kick over a street fight and, before it lands, fire three different gadgets: the Batarang, Batclaw and Remote Electrical Charge. Don't hit your target first, or the glide ends. If it stays locked, buy one more glide gadget and use that too. Marker: near the hospital in Bristol. Stars: 1:25, 1:15 and 1:05. Tip: the hourglasses are off the line, so ignore them, follow the green rings, use the Afterburner on straights and drift corners. If it stays grey with the unlock done, it may be the reported save bug from the story warnings: restore a backup save from before it, or replay the story to that point.

Stars: a lap in 1:20, 1:10 and 1:00. Tip: only flip blocks with the Riddler code when you are on plain ground.

AR Challenges · Ranelagh Ferry Terminal – Unlock: Riddler Trial 09 opened it. Marker: it should be at the trial's garage at the Ranelagh Ferry Terminal in Kingston; if the map shows no marker, start it from the main menu. Stars: a lap in 1:30, 1:15 and 1:00. Tip: the Riddler runs the traps, so there is no code to use. Spikes glow green just before they rise, and at the end you weave up and down the wall between crushers. Expect a lot of practice until you know the lap by heart.

A Leap of FaithAchievement
Location
AR Challenges · Ramps around the city – The race maps are done, so go ramp hunting in free roam on your run 1 save. From Kingston, Mercy Bridge leads back to the Cauldron ramp (2071, 2758), a good start. Any ramp counts and there are well over eight, so skip one that falls short. Buy any Afterburner upgrades left. Hit each ramp dead straight at full Afterburner, and leave the brake and Battle Mode alone in the air. The game shows no distance, so roll to the lip first and set a waypoint 100 m ahead, measuring along the ground. Jumps do not always register: repeat them until the trophy comes.
Requires
Summary
A trophy for eight jumps of 100 m or more in the Batmobile, each off a different ramp. It may already have come during the maps above: if so, tick this and move on.

Steam shows no running count, so you cannot tell which jumps have counted. Redo each one, checking the waypoint, until the achievement appears.

AR Challenges · Grand Avenue – Unlock: done at Brutality 101, by three quick-fire gadgets in one fight. Marker: under the Vicki Vale billboard in Grand Avenue. Stars: 5,000, 10,000 and 20,000 points. Tip: keep one long combo and use dual takedowns on the shield thugs and the Brute.

AR Challenges · Grand Avenue Station – Unlock: an environment takedown on a Brute, as in Gotham Knights. Marker: Grand Avenue Station. Stars: a Fear Multi-Takedown through a weak wood panel (one enemy alone does not count); a KO by hacking a generator; the Minigunner by environment takedown. Tip: blind the Sentry Gun, open the wall grate beside it and wait behind the panel, then strike as two pass and grapple to the monorail. Send a Soldier to a generator on the upper platforms with the Voice Synthesizer and hack it. Clear the rest, then lure the Minigunner to the power box by the restaurant window.

Tip: pair enemies with the Voice Synthesizer and strike from the roof hatches, away from the Medic, who revives. Back off after each one, make a silent takedown to recharge, and be patient.

Drone Zone, 3 starsAchievement
Location
AR Challenges · Grand Avenue – Unlock: leave the Batmobile close by, climb a building, glide towards it and call it, so you drop into the seat without touching the ground. Marker: beside the old Grand Avenue mine site (3168, 2728). Stars: 4:30, 3:45 and 3:00, with 5 seconds added per hit. Tip: take all four ramps square on with the Afterburner, or you land in the water. Win the first two fights cleanly and save a level 4 Missile Barrage for the last.

AR Challenges · Grand Avenue – Unlock: done at Point of Impact, by three critical shots in one tank fight. Marker: the Grand Avenue intersection. Stars: survive 1:00, 3:00 and 6:00. You start with 5 seconds, and each drone adds 10. Tip: the drones stay where they spawn around the small circle, so work round it in one direction with the Vulcan Gun on their blue lights. Fire a level 4 Missile Barrage whenever it is ready. The Battle Mode toggle in the options saves holding the trigger.
