Poisoned Ivy - Batman: Arkham Asylum - Part 7 (First Playthrough)

[@Skyytea]

I'll be live watching the Playstation Showcase today at 3:15 EST on Twitch for anyone who is interested. If you enjoy this video don't forget to like, subscribe and leave a comment. Thank you guys for watching! 😊♥

[@jacobwlezien6569]

Unfortunately I'll be working until 9:30 but a little advice. For some of the riddles they require you to be in detective mode. Line up the question marks and then scan them.

[@complete8423]

If you want some tips, I put some on the previous video. I’d put them here, but reposting a repost is pretty redundant. But as a quick request, can you move the web cam so we can see the health bar? EDIT: And you can batclaw up to 3 people (as of ultra batclaw). You should already know that, but you’ve forgotten more important things. Hint: GOTHEM’S greatest family, NOT Arkham.

[@JBat-Gaming]

If you think seven guys in a stealth room is hard, Arkham Knight has big surprises from you. But the gameplay in this game isn’t as good as it is then so it’ll seem pretty easy. How do you like the amazing life of the Batman universe

[@mike-mz6yz]

@@JBat-Gaming plus batman isn't nearly as OP as in that game. This game is just Bats in a normal suit, those he's pretty much in a super-soldier suit that enhances strength and speed. You knock guys out in half the time.

[@brucechmiel7964]

You can destroy those pods. All you do is crouch walk so the motion does not trigger them to shoot spores at you. You will get a prompt once you are close enough to destroy them. They are worth 100exp.

[@alexanderwheeler3943]

Honestly, she's getting by on the riddles pretty good for someone who doesn't know that much Batman lore

[@kylefleming7987]

People loved this game when it first came out in 2009 and still do today. Seeing someone new to the franchise allows viewers to experience it again through their eyes in a sense and it’s always a treat.

[@The_Phantasm]

The Joker's exact origin is a mystery, barring that Batman was somehow involved. His origin elaborated in one of the greatest Batman stories of all time called Batman The Killing Joke where it is revealed that once he had been a failed stand-up comedian who worked night shifts at Ace Chemicals in a feeble attempt to support his sickly wife and their unborn child. They died just before the night that he helped a gang of thieves break into the Ace Chemicals plant, disguised as the infamous criminal Red Hood. Batman interrupted the heist, resulting in the would-be criminal falling into a vat of acidic chemicals. Washed out of the plant he removed his disguise to find that the chemicals had disfigured his entire body, giving him permanent chalk white skin, emerald green hair, blood red lips and his face a clown like appearance. Driven insane by this series of events he embraced it, believing that the greatest joke of all is that humanity is only "One Bad Day" away from total insanity. In that same story it is revealed that his "Bad Day" is a mystery to him as he doesn't exactly remember what happened to him or who he was (at least prior to him falling in a vat of chemicals) nor does he care to remember and says that if he were to have an origin story he prefers it to be multiple choice, indicating that everything we had read up to that point about his past might have been false. One the best traits of The Joker is that his origin is always supposed to be left ambiguous and forever partially unknown to the readers. He has no true alias. He has no family. He has no direct origin. He is a force of nature and all he desires is carnage and mayhem.

I have to read the killing joke comic I don’t get Bruce Timms thing with batgirl & Batman ew. That movie wasn’t the best but Kevin & mark always do great voice work

[@TheRealVicSage]

For the puzzles that talks about being visible from certain angles, you have to be in detective vision. You’ll see large question marks painted on the environment and have to line them up to scan them. Hope that helps.

[@The_Phantasm]

Fun fact about Two-Face (whose bio you read): He has a split personality that has tormented him his entire life and eventually to cover it and that's why he is the way he is, not just because of the acid thrown to him by the mob boss Salvatore Maroni. Also his double-headed coin once belonged to Harvey Dent's father before it entered his possession. Using it, he would decide whether a young Harvey would be beat or not - the coin always landing on heads.

[@IntellectKIDMuzik]

I saw a cool vid the other day by an actual psychiatrist(?) That said he actually seems to have a disassociative disorder? I could be saying that wrong, but basically, split personality doesn't normally allow for both persons(?) to interact and even argue with each other. He also may have a compulsive issue, which is why he needs the coin, to kind of justify his evil deeds. Almost as though, it's not his own doing, but the coin makes him do it.

[@IntellectKIDMuzik]

I failed at explaining that but, if you can find the video, you should check it out. He explains a lot of the Arkham inmates in a way that aren't explored, even in the shows/comics.

[@AshrafAnam]

He had a split personality/disassociating disorder *before* the acid throw? And a bit about his father. Never heard of that. Are they from a graphic novel?

[@Realdooku1]

Did you know if you take someone from the gargoyle they are upside down yeah we all know that but what if you come back and see if they are dead Bc the blood would rush to their head

[@kadyjerry]

i know this comment is like 3 months old now so you might not care but a psychologist that I listen to a lot (dr drea letamendi ) mentioned that she thinks that Harvey doesn’t actually have DID but Bipolar Disorder, which is much more common in real life. I think it makes a lot of sense since if you have DID you can’t talk to your alters in real time, it’s like two (or more, but in this case two) people living in one body at different times. He might THINK he has two personalities but it might actually be him separating his unwanted feelings and impulsive actions from himself ! (idk if that makes any sense sorry my English is bad). Obviously we can’t know since he is not real but i think it’s a interesting way of looking at it !

[@michaelproctor8100]

During the fight with Ivy, the game instructs you to throw a bat-a-rang when her protective shell is open. What the game doesn't tell you is that when the shell is closed, you can still inflict a small amount of damage with the bat-a-rang.

[@solodolo9288]

Idk why but these playthroughs slap harder than the newer games nowadays🔥

[@mike-mz6yz]

im happy im not the only one getting bored with newer games. It seems like everything now has to have these huge open worlds where sometimes I just want a good more linear story with fun gameplay

[@LaughorCry]

Don't forget to check after the credits when you beat the game. There are different random scenes that relate to the next games, have fun.

[@lildukehighwalker9505]

[@CzechSpaceWolf]

Don't forget to use the takedown skill. It is really essential that you learn to use it effectively because it is really important in the sequels.

[@lildukehighwalker9505]

I'm over here cheering for skyy like I'm at a live sporting event for her against the Titan thug and blackgate prisoners.

[@jorgecumpean3201]

Really enjoying your let's plays. It's awesome that you are legitly interested in the Batman Arkhamverse and take the time to listen to the tapes. Arkham City has way more side content and I hope you do it as well, you're definitely going to enjoy all of it. Do you upload the videos the moment you finished recording or days later?

[@Skyytea]

Thanks, I'm so happy you're enjoying! I upload days later usually

[@jorgecumpean3201]

@@Skyytea Ok, when you start Arkham City there's something I would like to explain you that the game itself is a bit vague about, basic but crucial non-spoiler stuff. You can look it up yourself actually, it's about the location of the game.

[@nedzed3663]

My only gripe I have about Arkham City is it has less of that isolated feeling Asylum had. That creep factor was missing, despite it being a step up in every way possible, Arkham City is definitely the better game.

[@ryanvanbeek2673]

@@nedzed3663I personally just feel like without that “asylum feel” to it, there are missing horror elements in it, BUT the game is better gameplay wise and with the chance to explore a bit more.

[@mike-mz6yz]

@@jorgecumpean3201 do you mean about it being in the middle of the city? Thats stated right in the beginning though?

[@brandonhampton3335]

I appreciate that you pay attention to your surroundings for riddler trophies more than most new players would. You’ve also adapted to the combat style so well and it’s fun to watch someone not only experience this series for the first time, but do it WELL. Keep up the great work and the next part will definitely be the last, you’ll have a “blast” 🤘🏼

[@robertphillips213]

In the words of the Joker, "Decent people shouldn't live here. They'd be happier someplace else."

[@SDunphy25]

Hi, quick tip. The Riddler puzzle in the central hub area that references "the famous family towering above the city" can be solved by going to water and looking at the city skyline. You should be able to see (or may need to zoom in) the Wayne Tower building. Examine that and riddle solved.

[@JBat-Gaming]

How are you enjoying Mark Hamil’s Joker portrayal. He started the role in the 90s but he won’t do it anymore because his partner, Kevin Conroy and actor of Batman in this game as well passed away

[@lildukehighwalker9505]

awesome flying to get those trickier riddler trophies.

[@rayhoffman3534]

One of my favorite parts of this series has been your reaction to the character bios. I hope you finish those and the interview tapes in a video.

[@GelatoSuprem3]

It’s such a subtle thing, but I like how the games theme tune is playing in the background as you do the intro 🎉

[@brianmagsipoc8718]

Not sure if you knew but you can quick fire both the batarang and grapple gun during combat. The grapple gun can actually pull bad guys to you and help keep your combo going.

[@dimitriosgliarmis7622]

The reaction to having a really good combat flow you had was priceless…so satisfying when you get the hang of it haha

[@Agent-57]

"How do I know you have Bane strapped to a table in the basement while you pump him dry?" That sounds sus.

[@mustaard_cat]

I love seeing your progress through out the entire first part of the game. You're picking up on it faster than I did when I was nine years old. Haha so far so good!

[@LukaDaGoat77]

I recently discovered your channel, and I have to say I love your personality. I've enjoyed your playthroughs, and I can't wait to see more of the Arkham series from you, hopefully. Keep up the great work!

[@woottipat06]

You improved a lot on combat in this episode. One tip though, you should utilize the instant takedowns more often (the one you can do after every 5 combo hits). You can use it to takeout batons and special thugs. For stealth, there are plenty of stealthy takedown tricks that can spice up your play! - Corner Takedown: silent takedown approaching thugs when you are in corner cover - Glass Takedown: takedown any below a glass pane (loud) - Grate Takedown: hiding under the floor grate vents, exit and silently takedown nearby thug. In Arkham City, you can do this as a one-move action without having to manually exit the vents. - Ledge Takedown: while hanging on a ledge, you can silently takedown a nearby thug (loud) - Explosive Gel Takedown: you can explode a weak wall against thugs to take them down. Destroying weak walls on the floor below them also works the same.

[@Moonn.]

Best series on youtube I hope you continue playing through the arkham series, definetly worth it

[@uzairayaz7130]

Just a thing to note if you mute the music in Arkham city it will also mute the sound effects. Don't know why it is like that. The start-up of the game causes copywrite issues you can mute that rest should be fine. Same thing for the rest of the games

[@chanman2746]

Yes! I was hoping you’d read more of the bios!😁I always enjoy people learning more about the Batman and villain lore!

[@thealexanderllanos]

Grapple criminals standing near edges and pull them off. Instant defeat.

[@salmaankhan7]

Wen the combo meter goes Yellow, u can perform a special combo with pressing circle and triangle together, it takes out the guys with the knives and stun sticks much easier.

[@lildukehighwalker9505]

destroy. cute laugh. it never stood a chance. you're so awesome I could watch you play any game all day...

[@Adam_X78]

It’s great seeing someone get into the Arkham games

[@The_Phantasm]

Once you have finished the game in before starting Arkham City, I highly recommend reacting to the interview tapes of the game because they offer some of the best and most thought-provoking conversations in the entire game and every subsequent game has its own interview tapes as well.

[@Jesus_E452]

That boss fight was awesome! great gameplay as always, awesome video!

[@Beat247Dragon]

6:10 To answer your question, "the essences" referred to the Mud Pack's blood. According to the wiki, Karlo gathered the blood samples of the Mud Pack, took the samples to a lab, mixed them together, and injected himself with them, gaining all of their powers.

[@29kapri]

I’m glad that your reading them because your learning more about the Batman lore

[@russellwatkins854]

3 tips ... One) You can do the Circle + Triangle and/or the Square + Cross combo maneuvers at any point after getting a x5 combo (5,10, 15 and so on), You do not have to wait for the on screen prompt. In my opinion the Circle + Triangle is a better option than Square + Cross. Two) To perform the inverted take down, the goon has be directly below the gargoyle (or very close to it anyway). Three) I would suggest using more silent take downs in Predator/Stealth areas. Sneak up behind an isolated dude and hold Triangle. After he is down grapple away or sneak into a vent. You'll have more time to get away than taking them down loudly (knock out after a glide kick or bat-erang. But, those are just suggestions. The most important part is to have fun.

[@kristofferremmell]

This is such a great game. If it has a flaw. You can do so many cool things in combat and stealth that it never teaches you. I only learned them trying the combat & stealth challenges and watching videos on how they work. Some of the puzzles you need to find in areas are question marks that can only be seen in detective vision while standing in the right position.

“Memories can be vile. Repulsive little Brutes, like children I suppose…. Hehehehe. But can we live without them? Memories are what our reason is based upon. If we can’t face them, we deny reason itself. Although, why not? We aren’t contractually tied down to rationality, there is no sanity clause, so when you find yourself locked onto an unpleasant train of thought, heading for the places in your past where the screaming is unbearable, remember, there’s always madness, madness is the emergency exit. You can just step outside and close the door on All those dreadful things that happened. You can lock them away forever.” -Joker (The Killing Joke). “Sometimes I remember it one way, sometimes another. But if I’m going to have a past, I prefer it to be multiple choice.” -Joker (The Killing Joke).

Some Riddles that have keywords like Puzzle, means a Question Mark sprayed with invisible ink, which can only be seen in detective mode. For these Riddles line up the dot and the question to form a question mark then scan to solve it. As for Titan thug, throw the batarang when he roars. Zsasz is Counting on you finding his work, as in Zsasz is a killer who leaves his victims bodies posed with tally mark symbols, where are they?

Clayface is a much more demented villain than you realize, Skyy. Due to his obsession, he can be anyone, anywhere, anywhen. He could be Timmy in accounting, or Falicia at the coffee shop, of that dog over there...or maybe that flagpole you're leaning on. And he's not afraid to kill you. He is one of Batman's most deceptive villains. Is it no wonder he has a glass cell locked away from everyone else? Also, did you notice how said inmate of the cell had no bones...?

[@soap_bubbles]

I'm glad you enjoy Poison Ivy! She's one of my favorites as well. In recent years she has definitely received more of an "anti-hero" slant because of her passions about saving the planet from climate change, pollution, etc. just with very extreme methods and solutions that basically involve destroying humanity. Hope you become a fan of the Batman mythos by the end of these games!

There's one trophy/achievement to get at the end, and you can ONLY get it at the end. Otherwise, you'd have to play all over again, in order to get it. It's called "Party Pooper". Take out all of the thugs in front of the party door, then take on the thugs inside who are applauding you. Once you do that, you get the trophy/achievement.
