10 Hidden Mechanics in the Batman Arkham Series

[@ShadowDemon_4]

It's insane that even after all these years and playing all the Batman Arkham games multiple times I'm still learning new things about it. This just proves that the Batman Arkham games are one of if not the best solo games in the world.

My personal favorite little secret: if you use the special combo batclaw attack on an armored brute, it will take them down instantly even at full health

[@Samuel152]

In Arkham Knight or City/Origins?

[@DarknessXX77]

You can only do Special Combo Batclaw in AK

[@Samuel152]

@@DarknessXX77 It exists in Arkham City and Origins, just without the special animation with it.

[@RigaTony7]

What's the combo

[@Samuel152]

@@RigaTony7 In Arkham Knight, it's Special Batclaw Takedown. In City and Origins, it doesn't have a name. But the upgrade required for it is Freeflow Focus Gadgets. Both upgrades involve the same thing, but only Knight has a special animation for it.

[@DigitalArctic]

Healing Grundy is even useful during the first two phases, as it prevents him activating the machine to heal himself, allowing you easy access to all weak points without having to wait for an opening.

[@highlander6573]

Slamming the knocked out thugs in number 9 may not look useful, but I figured this out on my own while doing AR challenges and it is actually useful for extending your combo and giving you time to think about your next move mid-combat without losing your combo (you can't get hit while doing the slam!)

[@CrimsonKnight77]

It also helps if you weren't expecting a strike to knock out an enemy. If you knock them down, that slam move might save you from messing up your combo. Though, in my experience, pressing the pick-up buttons without there being a valid target is usually safe so long as you don't spend too long on it.

[@rodrigovillegas2263]

Yeah, same. I just assumed it was a safeguard to let you keep your combo if you didn’t realize they hit was already down

[@KillerGamesINC]

Can you hit someone with it?

[@PizzaTime1983]

So like the batclaw where everyone kinda stops attacking the moment you activate it? I wish the slam mechanic worked on my ps4 though. 😢 it just works when it feels like it.

[@highlander6573]

@luisgabrielayala6372 yes, and I believe it works on all platforms you just have to time it (I played on both PC and PS4). You only have around half a second to do it right after knocking out a thug.

[@devastation3395]

Another mechanic that's never really mentioned to my knowledge is that if you hold the grapple button as you grapple you'll hang from the ledge that you grappled to. I've been playing these games for years and never could understand why sometimes id hang and sometimes I would climb up, and so I never utilized the ledge takedowns for that reason.

[@unknown5771]

Damn never knew that

[@RDSC_]

I thought that was triggered by holding crouch or down on the left stick

[@devastation3395]

@RDSC_ I always thought it was hold down on the left stick too, but maybe it's by game. In knight you have to hold the rb/ r1 button. I haven't tested in city or asylum. I just know that holding the grapple button works the most consistently that I've seen. Holding down the left trigger more times than not would still have me climb up.

[@GS-gd1nm]

I think in arkham city its stated

[@highlander6573]

FINALLY I KNOW HOW

[@LK-428]

One I find incredibly useful in knight is that you can use the forensic batmobile scanner you use to track the Arkham Knight's cobra tank as a detective mode of sorts in the Batmobile, allowing you to see the cobra tanks through the walls when you're hiding from them. Not sure how common this trick was but I never saw anyone use it after they tracked the tires in the main story, so

[@justinharvey7398]

I used that but I never thought about hacking them! Now with both at my disposal those fights will be nothing!

[@Memu_]

This isn't really a secret. The game even gives you hints to do this

[@bl4ckw1ngz64]

I've used this, I'm not sure if I learned this from Arkham Videos or just figured it out on my own but it is a life saver

[@eur0be4t3r]

Doesn’t the game outright tell you it can be used like that?

[@ralouph3238]

God created us in his own image but we sinned and broke that image so now we deserve hell but God wanted a way of forgiveness so he took on the form of man suffered on the cross for the forgiveness of sins that whoever repents of his sins and puts his faith in jesus christ can be saved to get that forgiveness u have to repent of ur sins put ur faith in jesus christ follow him and rely on his finished work on the cross and not ur own works to be saved repentence first means realising ur a sinner who needs Gods help then u change ur mind about sin realising its disgusting before God and u let him help u to stop doing sin putting ur faith in jesus means u do his commandments which u can know about in the bible loving jesus means to do his commandments but u have to be careful first of all u dont know when ur gonna die so come to God and repent today and that jesus is the only way to heaven the only truth and the only life and we can go to heaven bc of what he did on the cross not bc of our own works so ur good works dont get u to heaven its only bc if what jesus did on the cross but that doesnt mean u live a life of sin no u live a life pleasing to God having a true relationship with him but u trust in what jesus did on the cross and not ur own works that can get u to heaven jesus loves u and he can give u eternal life repent today​@@justinharvey7398

[@yairmimran729]

One more you didn't mention is the grapple cancel. If you press B while grappling towards a gargoyle, it will cancel the grapple and send you flying forward like spiderman. It's a much faster way to travel in predator encounters and is actually a thing I found myself.

[@laszlopencz1187]

Plus if you cancel a grapple while holding glide and not holding a direction you can go at insane speeds

[@Grizzlox]

You can actually use this to make really unique attacks too

[@gogorecords89]

I dont think this is possible in Asylum, but is one of the best mechanics in City, because there isnt a skill to extend glide after grapling.

[@PterodactylPunk]

this is a technique for arkham knight speedruns wihtout the upgrades for the grappler boost

[@mr.kid1037]

​@@gogorecords89 if you do the AR stuff you can get one

[@chumunga648]

@@hazelcrisp yup. Sefton and the other higher ups kept changing their minds for suicide squad which messed with the development. In fact, he wanted to add more batmobile-esque vehicle segments in suicide squad! a lot of the lower end devs of suicide squad weren't blinded by their own ego and knew what they had on their hands was a stinker

[@icarusgaming6269]

You activate the cinematic glide kick by pressing R3 during it. Didn't know about the grapnels, though. Wonder if it works from other starting positions. Cinematic Batclaw is also compatible with Batclaw Super Stun and Batclaw Kick You can blind Cobras with the Remote Hacking Device and jam their guns with the Disruptor. I think you can also EMP them with two full bars of secondary weapon energy. What I still need to test is whether destroying them via jamming builds secondary weapon energy You can disrupt the drone controller's tablet to make it shock him when you hack the drone for a maximum of four simultaneous takedowns On KBM you can right click on the final thug in a fear chain to transition straight into a Silent Takedown and earn your fear token back. You can activate the Explosive Gel detonator during a fear chain without breaking from it. You can cancel a fear chain by pressing circle or waiting it out to use a different attack against the final target - useful for getting environmental takedowns You can infinitely stunlock tanky enemies by beating them down to build combo, popping a Special Combo Bat Swarm, Special Combo REC, Special Combo Whip Trip, Special Combo Staff Spin, or Nightwing's electrical shock to clear the surrounding area, then repeating the combo. For Weapon Specialists with shock gloves equipped, try Batarang, Cape Stun, repeat You can use Nightwing's smash attack to defend against unblockable attacks if you're quick - very useful for shields! You can interrupt every punch in a Beatdown with a combo gadget for some scary fast tool spam. See Fleaker's video for examples. You can also reset the Triple Batarang combo requirement with an REC for an infinite gadget combo, which is included in my Special Combo Moves guide for Arkham City Critical Strikes are faster if you don't touch left stick while inputting them, but their range is reduced. They'll automatically target enemies who are about to attack you so you don't have to counter. You can cheese a lot of 3-star requirements by getting a good rhythm going with this

[@icarusgaming6269]

Okay, you can only action cam grapple between dedicated (green reticle) vantage points. However, if you do this in or out of a pass-through grate it looks insanely cool. Make sure to hold right trigger the whole time while going up. Glide kick reversal does not work in Asylum, but it gave me action cam almost every time no matter what I did first

Also a cool mechanic for the batclaw is that if you use the batclaw on a brute (with the super combo batclaw upgrade equipped) it can one shot them! Also if you use it on a brute without the upgrade, he will go spinning and knock any thug by him unconscious/stunned!

[@leme3503]

I doubt any game or series of games will ever be better than this for me. This is truly the peak. From lore/story (omg, the story) and the voice-acting, over the gameplay to the smallest details 95% of the players will never even encounter, even in multiple play-throughs, put in there for the mega fanatics and just because. It is insane how great this series is.

[@batmaninachair]

Funniest thing is, you think "Yeah, I knew that. " Then Knerd says "no... Theres more... "

[@Bugplanet8840]

The cinemamatic camera for glide attacks in asylum uses the same button prompts as the dive attack from Arkham city. and while rotating your camera in city, origins, and knight batman does the pre fight animations from the challenge maps, if playing as Robin in knight do the same thing but you can do a glitch by holding gadget to make him hold the staff forever or until you trigger the holding animation again, was useful for photomode at the studio to get a shot of both Tim and Bruce holding weapons. Happy Thanksgiving!

[@moonsets-on_you]

so how do you get the cinematic glide kick angle in arkham asylum?

I've been playing these games for years and I still managed to learn something new from this video. Great Job

[@XAntohax]

Great job and great games☝

[@jasonpratt5126]

As probably noted below (but just in case not): the directed aerial attack is required to beat the Riddler in ArkCity. Which I can rarely do properly, I just end up try-harding and do it by accident. (It helps that with the Catwoman add-on, you'll get a buffer of 20 extra requirements thanks to Selina -- only some of which are feasible, but still you can sub hers out to help reach the 400 needed to defeat Eddie. So I never have to do the direct aerial to win. But I do still try!)

[@Official_Ardo]

Another secret mechanic is the drop attack takedown from arkham origins (maybe arkham city) which when pressing inverted takedown and drop attack at the same time, you're able to do a cinematic drop attack which instantly renders them unconcious and enemy's aren't notified. Great video btw

[@PizzaTime1983]

How does that work by pressing both inverted takedown button and the drop attack button???

[@lakshaykochhar6799]

Now, that's truly something unknown.

[@HOTD108_]

You can't just mention that and not tell us how to do it. Don't leave us hanging man.

[@najmussakib3555]

​@@HOTD108_I think it happens when you hang upside down from a vantage point by pressing the middle mouse button,and then do the inverted takedown,don't remember much tho

[@Yabatron]

Another cool thing about the punch drop attack is that its the pose Batman pulls on the cover of the Dark Knight Returns. Making for some hard af photo opps

[@Knerd-YT]

You just gave me a video idea lmao

[@Ayyothatsbrandogaming]

Fun fact, using the freeze blast quick fire in Arkham Knight makes Brutes vulnerable to be attacked meaning you can chain hits with Brutes without having to stun them and go into a beatdown so long as you freeze them first. Have fun!

[@blacksamurai6038]

Didn't know about this one

[@k.bermejo7334]

One hidden combat feature not listed in this video is Red Hood's ability to Beatdown from a distance; first stun a medium-long range enemy with your quickfire flashbang grenade, then spam Strike to have him rapid fire his pistols in a really cool animation. The range of this move is actually crazy far too 😅

[@GeneralStriker]

Red hood basically just has a sniper, it's OP

[@grumpyrock]

I was playing Arkham City earlier today and got the cinematic mode to happen while using a grapple in the museum. I remembered thinking I’d never seen that before. This explains everything. Awesome!

[@ovothefakeking]

2:45 if you do r2 + O very quickly after throwing the enemy, batman can catch him in full flight and put him back on his feet. It’s quite funny

[@orangebrot9]

Amazing stuff, man. Actually never knew about some of these. Great to see niche mechanics like these being documented in such a well-edited video!

[@lexxussmooth]

Excellent detective work. Rocksteady is much more thoughtful about these games than I ever realized. 👏👏👏👏👏

[@TheRoyalRelease]

#5 really ought to have been highlighted more by the game itself. The system needed more freedom like this and cancels like the batclaw with ground takedown.

[@alexmartin3143]

The mechanic to not have your main character brutally murdered in a future game was definitely missing…

[@BBATSYEDITS]

dont know if anyone else knew this but something i found was that when u play as jason if u quickfire the flash bang and spam the attack button youll almost get like a gun-beatdown its rlly cool

[@MegamiImperatrix]

The secret drop attack is actually a reference to The Dark Knight Returns! It's also actually based on distance, meaning it can be done without ever going into a glide kick or drop if the thug is at the right distance.

[@HelpTheWretched]

One of my favourites is to start a fight using the running slide. You can usually knock down a handful of thugs and do combo attacks directly out of it.

[@davidwithpizza9699]

Even after 10 years of playing these games I am still, STILL finding new little hidden details that give me an exscuse to replay these games. God do I love the Arkham series.

[@curtisnewsom6168]

You can target downed enemies with regular melee attacks in Arkham Knight by holding crouch and using the regular attack button. You can also pull enemies out of the air after a super stun launch by using the ground pickup input, they get snatched down into a stunned state. The batarang throw for batman and azrael can be used to dodge. Throwing freeze pellets at big enemies allows you to hit them normally without having to stun them first. Just a few things I've discovered

[@mwilliford200]

Idk if this is a hidden mechanic but one thing I love to do is if Im using my grappling hook to reach a vantage point or swing from vantage point to vantage point and I press the cancel button mid grapple/swing, and you press the glide button right after, you’ll start to glide at full speed as if you were using the grapnel boost! It works even if you don’t have the grapnel boost yet!!

[@joshuasworldtour484]

Man I wish I knew about the ground takedown cancel mechanic sooner 😂 Years of playing the Arkham games over and over again, and getting hit while doing a ground takedown was always annoying 😂

[@thefonzkiss]

The gadget cinematic in Origins with the remote grapple is always fun. For Batman and Slade.

[@90sK1dFOr3v3r]

After all these years and you can still find amazing details. Great job highlighting this hidden mechanics. The Arkham series is truly the best!

[@iReiGNxx]

I love when there’s actually one or two of these that I still didn’t know, or at least fully understand until now.

[@kacpernowak1535]

Another mechanic that people don't know about in AK, is that you can use the Batmobile's scanner to reveal Cobra tanks behind walls, making these stealth sections incredibly easy. You don't even have to press it manually all the time, you press it once and it'll scan continuously. By the way, the redirected aerial attack is worse in Arkham Origins for some reason. After this attack, Batman will stay on the ground for like 2 more seconds to slam an enemy with his fists, which makes him extra vulnerable.

[@ghostofyourmom]

Lol, the AO one actually makes sense. He's younger and inexperienced.

[@SOGEDITS7]

I know a cool mechanic with the ice grenade! First, if you use it on a brute, you can hit them normally without it being blocked! You have to do freeze grenade, strike, freeze grenade, strike, then after you could do an instant takedown to finish them off! You can also do this to shield and stun sticks enemies without getting hurt! Also if you freeze a thug, then use the batclaw or rec gun to get them unfrozen, they will fall down like a statue lol!

[@factsdontcareaboutyourfeel7747]

One more: You can actually KO the brutes, like you do the normal enemies, who are weilding knives or who have no weapons using the freeze grenade. Just use them to freeze the brutes and attack them like you do the normal enemies.

[@joseortizreflects]

Man, this video is insane! I have played these games a lot and seen a million clips on KZbin, but never have I seen other creators implement any of these tactics.

Random bonus fact I found: you can actually use the disruptor on cobra tanks if you have the drone sabotage upgrade; meaning that when they spot the Batmobile, they’ll just self-destruct. This is only really useful during the founder’s island encounter as that’s the only time the tanks are spawned in before you enter the Batmobile but it’s interesting nonetheless

[@BriefingData]

You can do this to the tanks when they come to destroy the GCPD and you're on the roof too

Mechanic 7 I’ve had happen on occasion without realizing what the actual triggers for each variation was. It’s cool to finally know the 3 different triggers for this instead of blindly believing that it was RNG. Definitely will help streamline the gameplay into an even smoother experience in the future. Although let’s be real, Arkham knight plays pretty darn smooth on newer hardware.

[@rougenarwhal8378]

In knight, hitting an enemy with a freeze grenade will give you a very short window for a free silent takedown from the front, don't think it alerts enemies either

[@punkdoggo211]

Fun Fact: the directed aerial attack is actually part of a Riddler physical challenge in Arkham City :)

[@shaysela6989]

[@medafan53]

In a similar vein to the drone virus, Cobra Tanks are also vunerable to the Disruptor as long as you have the updrage to sabotage drones; if you can get far enough out of range of them to get out of the Batmobile and stalk them from the rooftops. t's not as easy as the regular tanks, cause you need to target a small sensor on top to use the disruptor ammo, anywhere else is just tracker ammo, but if you can do it you can beat cobra tanks without the Batmobile.

[@douglaslong6395]

So I’ve been playin Arkham religiously for YEARS when starting this I really thought there’d be nothing new for me to learn or at least not all that valuable I’ll even say that there were a couple things I knew about but forgot like the rotating stick for a glide attack action shot but I gotta say you got me by surprise with one or two especially that last one holy shit 🤯

Another great hidden mechanic, in at least Arkham Knight, is if while in combat you time your punches to get consistent critical strikes, the speed of Batman’s attack/animations slowly increases. But if you try punching too early, before he can actually go into the next punch, it starts slowing down again. This is great in the infinite combat challenges, like “Azrael's Atonement”.

The last one looks like it was a cut mechanic from the game that wasn't able to be removed. If it is inconsistent with it's effects that would be an indication it was removed or not finished. I can see why it was kept hidden as it makes the standard drop attack useless and seems to be actually overpowered

Damn. This kind of makes me want to play the series again!

As an arkham fine from the age of 6, i really felt like i already know everything about those games and it really depressed me because i really wanted to have the feeling of discovering more about the games. Thanks to you i learned stuff that i never knew about. THANK YOU SO MUCH
