Run 2: New Story+ on Knightmare

The main story again on Knightmare, with no side content: 20 main missions for The Long Halloween, and the last predator takedowns for Blunt Trauma.

Run 2 is Knightmare: New Story+ is locked to that difficulty, and you can't change it. All this run needs is the 20 main missions, one item each, plus the takedowns for Blunt Trauma. Most Wanted and Season of Infamy reset on this save and the route leaves them alone, and the Riddler challenges are already done. You hold every gadget and every upgrade you bought. Run 1's directions often began from a side trip, so each item here starts from where the one above it ends and names the stops in order. The matching run 1 section has any step in full.

What New Story+ keeps and what it puts back
ThingIn run 2
GadgetsAll in hand from the first mission. Scenes that handed you one in run 1 may still play: if a marker shows, follow it, and if none does, carry on.
WayneTech upgrades, points and levelKept, and shared both ways between the two saves. Main missions pay points again.
Batmobile upgradesKept. Lucius may still offer a pick: any choice will do.
Riddler challengesStay done on both saves, so there is nothing to collect.
AR challenges and starsShared between the two saves.
The cityBack to its start, because the story replays in full. Mercy Bridge is raised until you lower it, Founders' Island stays closed to the Batmobile until the missile launcher falls in Vengeance, and Port Adams opens in Seeking Your Roots. Gliding gets you over the water whenever the car can't.
Most Wanted and Season of InfamyReset, and not repeated here. Run 1 already earned their trophies.
On the mission wheel, always pick City of Fear

The wheel shows the whole main story as one entry, City of Fear, so pick that every time it opens. The item called The City of Fear below is only one stretch of it. Side missions will appear as they did in run 1: leave them, unless you want the extra WayneTech points.

Playing on Knightmare

No counter, unblockable or dodge icons appear, and enemies have more health, hit harder and react faster. Watch each attacker and time counters by eye, including the moments where run 1 said to counter at a prompt. Drone firing lines still show. Being spotted in a predator room costs a Fear Takedown charge, and a silent takedown earns it back. Enemy groups may differ from run 1, so expect different numbers.

Grapple TakedownUpgrade
Location
Bleake Island · WayneTech menu – Still on your run 1 save, open the WayneTech menu anywhere and buy Grapple Takedown. Its tree isn't confirmed, so check each of the six if you can't see it. You can also buy it during run 2. While you are still on this save, Predator Fundamentals on the Falcone Shipping roof is the best place for the takedowns listed below.
Summary
A WayneTech upgrade that Blunt Trauma needs for at least one of its moves. Buy it now, because upgrades are shared between the two saves.

The 22 predator takedowns for Blunt Trauma, easiest first. Moves from run 1 still count.
TakedownHow to land it
Silent TakedownCreep up behind an unaware enemy and take him down quietly.
Knockout SmashStart a Silent Takedown, then press strike before it ends to finish him at once.
Glide KickGlide off any building into an enemy.
Drop AttackFrom a few metres up, drop on an enemy to stun him.
Drop Down TakedownGet directly over an enemy at close range and take the prompt.
Swing Down TakedownDo the same from a higher ledge. Batman has to swing on the Grapnel in the animation, or it was only a Drop Down.
Smoke Pellet TakedownThrow a Smoke Pellet by an enemy, even one who is fighting you, then take him from behind while he coughs.
Fear Multi-TakedownChain a Fear Multi-Takedown across a group.
Fear Double TakedownEnd a Fear chain on exactly two enemies as well, as this may count as a separate move.
Line Launcher TakedownFire the Line Launcher at a group and press the takedown prompt on the way in. A plain attack from the line doesn't count.
Ledge TakedownHang off a ledge and shimmy along under a guard at the edge until you can grab him.
Corner Cover TakedownWait against a corner on a patrol route and pull him round it with the Batclaw at the prompt.
Environment TakedownLure an enemy beside an object highlighted in blue, such as a spotlight or a hanging light, and press the prompt.
Floor Grate TakedownWait inside a floor grate until an enemy walks over you.
Window TakedownStand on the far side of a pane of glass from an enemy and crash through it.
Wooden Wall TakedownStand behind soft wood paneling, lure an enemy to it with the Voice Synthesizer and grab him through it.
Ceiling TakedownStand on a flat glass ceiling or soft wood panel over an enemy and drop through it. Smash and Grab is the sure place for it.
Wall Grate TakedownWait in a vent duct with its cover still on until an enemy walks past.
Inverted TakedownHang upside down from a vantage point and string up an enemy who walks below you.
Grapnel TakedownNeeds Grapple Takedown. Aim the Grapnel at a ledge just in front of an enemy and pull up without boosting.
Service Hatch Takedown, from aboveStand on a service hatch with an enemy below it.
Service Hatch Takedown, from belowMay need Grapple Takedown. Wait under a hatch, usually in a walkway, until an enemy steps on it.
Make every takedown count

The game can fail to log these, and some players have had to repeat moves many times. Land them in the story's predator rooms, or in predator AR maps started from their marker in the city. Never use the AR select on the main menu: those runs mostly aren't saved. In an AR map, beat every enemy and return to the city instead of pressing retry. Don't end a move with a knockout smash, which counts as its own move. Takedowns made with the Freeze Blast, Explosive Gel, Disruptor or Remote Hacking Device aren't on the list. The items below point out each predator room, and Predator Fundamentals on the Falcone Shipping roof is the quickest place for most of the list.

Blind the radar drones, don't destroy them

A lock-up was reported on New Story+ at the first radar: with the drones there already gone, Batman was left on the roof opposite the console, unable to run, grapple or open the map, and no fix was found. The report is old and may be patched, but it costs nothing to avoid. Only blind the drone with the Remote Hacking Device until the console is gone.
