"Batman" and "realistic human" cannot go together in the same phrase

[@patrickreynolds793]

honestly, something that feels lost about batman content. I'm a fan of batman because he's supposed to be a human who's wealthy, skilled, and intelligent (and a technically criminally insane, but in a good way). Not so fun when they soup him up to fight gods and shit. Gimme some grim setting with detective work and street fights. That being said, arkham games are my favorite of all time and I love batman content no matter what so I'm sort of hypocrite

Hi, thanks for checking out the mod and glad you had fun! My goal was to force players to come up with new strategies and make the game feel different in a good way after all these years. Regarding the titans, you can always trigger charge attacks if you reach a certain distance which is tricky but consistently doable with the skeleton titans. City's difficulty mod will be updated very soon and overhauled with big changes I'm excited for everyone to see. I'm thinking I should make it more difficult than the knightfall overhaul mod 😄

[@Knerdd]

Hell yeah, excited to try it out!

[@tylerholden1548]

If I could make a recommendation, speed up ground takedowns so they're not just dead time to get hit. Even in the base game doing a ground takedown is just instant downtime waiting for the animation to finish. Either that, or make counters work properly during ground takedowns so you're not completely screwed if a thug comes to hit you

[@FIFADUDE-Master]

Alright, let's get into this because I loved playing this mod as an OHKO aka no damage in the whole run even in No upgrades in another run! here are some tips: unarmed thugs are the most dangerous enemies here, they take x20 (normal strikes) or x10 (critical strikes), their speed are lightning quick (getting up from a strike or their attack speed) hence why you MUST keep a distance and not go for multiple strikes in a row in CQC, step back and go to a distant enemy instead of wait a bit then counter and expect more to come until you can then either evade/redirect or execute a special combo move (best to always use special combo takedowns when you can) Here is my upgrades route: Critical Strikes -> Special Combo Throw -> Special Combo Takedown -> Twin Batarang -> Triple Batarang OR Combo Batarang -> Sonic Batarang -> Sonic Shock Batarang -> Cryptographic Sequencer Range Amplifier OR Special Combo Boost -> anything else, just don't get proximity gel detonator and maybe inverted takedown Explosive Gel is your best friend until you get the Batclaw and even then it's really helpful: you can prep for any combat encounter that doesn't start instantly and knock them down for free KOs Now Combo batarangs kinda suck, they don't knock down enemies anymore, only stagger; however, you can use it for x1 for special combo moves and keeping the distance, buuuuut it has a glitch where the batarangs don't come out and you HAVE to either counter or redirect without moving an inch to preserve the combo and the run Batclaw: Now THIS is what you call a perfect gadget for this run, great for Predator rooms AND combat. Oh just wait for the Ultra Batclaw, it got a range buff and it stomps Bosses: They're tough at first, but you get to know how to exploit their weaknesses to your favor Scarecrow 1: straight-forward and easy enough even with the slight speed increase and the FoV buff Bane: Best way is to play the waiting game to make him get rid of the pillar rocks then just let him charge for that sweet stun damage after a batarang throw. Gotta congratulate you on using explovise gel tho, it's used for Phase 3 only due to the amount of enemies (6) that can ruin the run, so better knock them down and focus on Bane to win Scarecrow 2: his speed is even faster, better to wait a bit when he's looking at the edges. For the skeletons, prepare with explosive gels to KO them all to minimize the chance of failure Harley Quinn's Shock & Awe Room: just be quick and use explosive gel on elevated areas for easy KOs Double Joker Henchmen TITANs: Easy fight, just charge stun them then punch till they're about to shockwave slam where you need to evade it; when you get the opportunity to rodeo, you'll get 4 free hits on TITANs that deal 2/3 damage of TITAN's HP bars after finishing the botanical gardens, do not go to cash, go straight to the intensive treatment, you can also skip the predator room with the Cryptographic Sequencer Range Amplifier (you'll need this if you want to skip a lot of rooms) Scarecrow 3: The worst version of Scarecrow due to his speed and FoV being at its highest, I mean it. You need to be QUICK, you MUST DECIDE FAST! for the skeletons, run till you spawn them then run back to the edge then spray explosive gel and explode after redirecting or such. Phase 2 aka the skeletons and the TITAN skeletons arena, this will cost you your run if you're not careful. You have to spray explosive gel in the middle then explode it then strike everyone, spray two or all three explosive gel before the TITAN gets up and stay at the bottom right corner to activate his charge because TITANs and Bane need a longer distance between them and Batman to activate their charges instead of at any distance exceeeept for Arkham Guard TITANs where they can change it up from Insane + rules to Hard rules Killer Croc: Pretty easy, just carefully line launcher, change between batarangs and multi-batarangs to shock him, get the spores and get the hell out Triple Threat TITAN aka Elevator TITAN: spray three explosive gel at each corner and wait for the TITAN, charge stun him, critical strike till x7 then cape stun to deplete his first HP Bar, go to the electric door near the elevator, ultra batclaw all enemies to it and leave 2-3 enemies alive before the TITAN gets up. Now you just need to use the ultra batclaw to bait the enemies till you get away from The TITAN to make him initiate a charge attack (you need to be in the broken elevator area or near it for that attack to happen), rinse and repeat. Now you either use the explosive gel on the TITAN or wait for the big enemy hordes to use it Poison Ivy: This isn't a boss fight about skill, but rather positioning. You need to be at the center of the arena or nearby it at all times to avoid the vines by RUNNING NOT EVADING and when she starts to spore attack, just move slowly or run in circles and batarang throw after the third spore or just before it. Phase 2: same concept, just with enemies that you can use for combo batarang ammo that deal more damage to Poison Ivy. The Party Pooper room: Optional, but I did it anyway lmfao Double Arkham Guard TITANs: run back a bit then ultra batclaw then run all the way back, now either batarang the TITAN if they start charging or run away if they want to melee. You need to KO 3 enemies and leave 3 up and focus on the TITANs TITAN Joker: easy peasy, just don't let this get to your head. spin around in a slower pace and when it's enemies time, just go all the way back and ultra batclaw, you can even use explosive gel in some areas to KO enemeis into the electric walls. Good luck!

[@alessiospurio]

Very good and accurate guide, but... Why you shouldn't get Inverted takedown or aproximate gel?

29:22 in my opinion, they could have made Croc faster, as in, instead of boosting his damage because he’s already Insta kill anyway, they could have make him pop up out of the water faster and dash at Batman with way more speed and make his hit box bigger, considering he is basically a 9ft tall massive superhuman crocodile

[@DOOMSlayer6476]

[@stephenlehman8938]

25:23 It's not an anti-healing factor on the spores. Healing (at least in asylum) is linked to XP gained. This mod actually made healing easier because of the massive combos that you would routinely get on groups of basic thugs, but since the ivy plants only give 25 XP no matter what you do, you're only going to heal a tiny bit. Maybe a strat to work around that would be to leave a few riddler trophies to collect for easy healing, since trophies give 1000 XP.

[@nerodarkblade5068]

25:24 Healing in this game doesn't happen overtime. You regain health based on how much XP you gain. And unfortunately, Ivy's plants don't give much, which is why it seemed like they were messing up your healing. Funnily enough, if you want to get your health back without risking a fight in a damaged state, you can just pick up some Riddler trophies or solve some riddles, since those give decent XP.

They won’t see you, I know that’s possible in the base game idk about this hack though.
