Cloudburst and the drill tunnels

The Cloudburst tank on Bleake Island, the gas lifting, GCPD, the Port Adams yard, then Killinger's Department Store and the long shaft under it, down to the drill tunnels.

The gas stretch ends here: one boss on Bleake and a scene at the gardens, and the streets are yours again. Your kit is unchanged. Once the gas is gone the route calls at GCPD first, then takes the Port Adams yard and the crate from Airship Beta on the way to Killinger's Department Store, so you cross to Founders' only once. Killinger's leads down a five-level shaft in the Arkham Knight HQ: take everything on the way down. Left for later: the rest of the HQ, including new puzzles in this same shaft, and the Most Wanted sites the story has yet to bring out.

How the Cloudburst fight runs

Spend your points on Batmobile upgrades before you cross. The tank can't be hurt at first, so stay away from it and clear the Cobras. It then has four cooling systems to destroy one at a time, and a final core. Dying after one of them sends you back only to the last one you destroyed, not to the start.

Boss: the Cloudburst tankHidden spoiler – activate to revealBossMinor spoiler
Location
Bleake Island · Streets of Bleake Island – Drive onto Bleake: the bridges rise and stay up until the fight ends. Kill the six Cobras from behind, then scan the tank from outside its vision cone to mark the cooling systems. Sneak up, lock on and hit one with the 60mm Cannon, then run and break line of sight from its overload until the bar on screen empties, four times in all. Finish by shooting the exposed core with the cannon and Vulcan Gun, circling a block such as the Cauldron fire station, and press attack in the scene that follows.
Requires
Summary
The Arkham Knight's great tank, fought across the whole of Bleake Island, with a trophy for beating it.

Don't quit straight after this scene

The same reported bug again: saving and quitting right after an Ivy scene can grey out the AR maps City Heat TT and Under the Pale Moonlight, so play on to the next autosave first.

Grapple to the ledge in the small alcove on the right and into the shut-down elevator. Use the Remote Electrical Charge on its generators to ride down as far as it goes, to the Maintenance Sector on level 4, and blow the weak wall there with Explosive Gel. The two soldiers beyond carry stun sticks: don't hit them head on, but vault them or stun them with the Charge. Flip the switch to open a side door back into the main shaft. From this lift you can also try a later item now: send it back up with the Charge and drop into the shaft below it. If a ledge there holds a trophy, take it, and tick "Riddler trophy: under the last elevator" when the guide reaches it.

Ride that elevator down to the Briefing Room on level 5. Hop off into the side cubby, send the lift back up with the Charge and drop below it. Grapple to the ledge over the door, pull the vent cover off the wall, crawl along the wires and drop down behind the big screen.

Location
Arkham Knight HQ · Construction Access – Take Remote Batmobile Control and lower the car all the way to the bottom of the shaft. Winch one of the anchors around the room to turn the floor down to its lowest point. Destroying the Sentry Gun in the passage from the car is optional, but it makes Batman's way back to the car safe.

Boss: the ExcavatorHidden spoiler – activate to revealBossMinor spoiler
