Investigating gruesome crime scenes throughout Gotham City offers a chilling narrative diversion in Batman: Arkham Knight. The quest line known as The Perfect Crime challenges players to solve a series of mysterious murders tied to a sinister villain. Mastering this investigation requires careful observation, precise scanning techniques, and tactical combat skills.
Locating the Mutilated Victims Across Gotham
Finding all six victims scattered across Bleake Island, Miagani Island, and Founders' Island is the first major step. Players can locate these bodies by listening for distinct opera music playing in the vicinity. Spotlights shining directly on the display sites also help players identify where each victim was left.
Navigating between the districts allows players to discover two victims on each major island. It is beneficial to keep an eye out for rooftop perches while traversing the city. Following the audio cues remains the most reliable method for pinpointing the exact coordinates.
Analyzing Evidence with Deep Tissue Scanner
Once a victim is found, Batman must utilize the cowl's tissue scanner in Detective Mode. The scanner operates across three distinct biological layers: skin, muscle, and bone. Players must rotate the scan depth to reveal hidden physical anomalies unique to each corpse.
Identifying all three layers of evidence per body enables the computer to match DNA records and uncover the victim's identity. This thorough investigation process gradually builds a profile on the perpetrator. Completing all six site analyses unveils the location of the killer's hideout.
Confronting Professor Pyg at the Hideout
Tracking the evidence leads Batman straight to the Pretty Dolls Parlor in Ryker Heights on Founders' Island. Proceeding through the back entrance brings players into a disturbing surgical lair where Professor Pyg operates. This encounter shifts the focus from detective work to intense arena combat.
During the confrontation, players face Pyg's altered minion horde known as Dollotrons. These enemies do not react to standard strikes, requiring heavy takedowns, environmental attacks, or ground finishers to be eliminated. Deflecting thrown cleavers back at Pyg stuns him momentarily, creating an opening to finish the fight.
Finalizing the Investigation and Rewards
After defeating all Dollotrons and disabling Professor Pyg with an environmental finisher, Batman must free the remaining captives. Interacting with the control panel unlocks the cell door to ensure the victims' safety. Batman then secures Pyg and transports him directly to the GCPD lockup.
Successfully completing this side mission contributes significant progress toward full Gotham Most Wanted completion. It provides valuable upgrade points while locking away one of Gotham's most twisted criminals. Understanding the balance of scanning and combat ensures a smooth resolution to this dark case.
