Yes that's what you do as long as you do them both in the same combo you should get it no prob.

I got it. Thanks for your help. I think my main problem was just not timing it right and performing it in the right situations.

Ok... I really have no idea how to get Nightwing's "Bowled Over" to work in Black Mask's Predator Map (Robin's Pack).
I have snuck up behind henchmen on the walkway and used the electrical blast but it doesn't give enough force to throw them over the walkway.
The last guy I tried was actually leaning over the edge pointing his gun downward looking for me.

Suggestions?

you can use grapple-boost for the 30 meters at five meters above water.

explosive objects are the kerosene tanks and the fire extinguishers. when rescuing mr. freeze one of the guys will lift the two kerosene tanks.

I can't get the take down with a sonic batarang blast to work. I've hit guys with the sonic batarang and got nothing. I've also thrown it on the ground around a bunch of guys then detinated it and still got nothing. Any suggestions?

This is exactly what you do. Throw the Sonic Baterang, wait for a guy to investigate it then detonate it. Dunno about armoured guys but it usually takes down guys caught in the blast.

Does anyone know if you can still do Physical challenges at the end of the game? I mean assuming you have KO'd every bad guy in gotham and theres no one left to fight (in both your original game and new game +)? Or can you do them in combat/predator challenges?

What I'm asking is, is it possible you will run out of opportunities to do some challenges and they will become impossible to complete?

Thugs will always respawn outside.

It doesn't seem to make any difference how close other enemies are, I hold a direction and press X and he just comes straight back down on the same guy.

Any thoughts?

Thanks.

EDIT: Done it! Wooo! 400/400.

The buttons to pull off the move are:
-> -> +

Pressing B stuns them, and the double A launches you in to the air. The key is to press the direction and X buttons after tapping A A, but BEFORE you actually start the leaping animation.

Trying to press it once Batman is in the air is too late.

Hope this helps

Thanks for the advice! This was my last Riddler challenge. I thought I was doing it correctly and it even looked like I was doing the move correctly, yet I got nothing. I thought perhaps that I was pressing the buttons too quickly (something I do often in most games with combos), so I slowed the key pressing a bit. It never occurred to me to do the button mashing quicker, since I was mashing them pretty fast to begin with. D'oh!

Thanks again for the tip.

i need the one with the jammer you need jam with the rec or something but ive completed the game and there aren't any men with jammers left!

There's one in the subway tunnels; in the big open part with the train carriages. You can't miss it if you activate detective mode as you will see the location of the jammer.

I've having problems with Catwoman's two specials in in combo.

I've already got 2/3 of this challenge, apparently I got the first two when I was button smashing my way out of fights and for the life of me I can't come up with the combination to pull of that move for a third time.

Anyway, thanks for the tip, will try this tomorrow.

Yep, in total agreement here. The subway's the only place I remember the jammer being used.

I think they was also used in wonder city at the base of the tower (where the big globe is) and also the armoury in the museum iirc.

Got it infront of the steel mill by the gate. There's an armored guard and a regular guard there

Thanks, you are a life saver, I've literally just come on here to ask that very question and I found the answer before I got to the bottom. I thank you!

[Ant695]

Is there anywhere you can check what physical challenges you've completed? Im just about to wrap up with these but cant remember what ones i got when I was just playing through.

In your Batcomputer, click LB to toggle the "?" then use LT/RT to toggle Physical Challenges.

Thats great cheers.

[Baihu1983]

Only need to hit an explosive before it blows up...cant do it

Edit never mind done it.

[Victor9810]

Go to the Subway

[DanOMite4423]

Looking to get the "Hit an explosive object with a Batarang before it is thrown." Having trouble finding guys and a fire extinguisher together. I looked at the Museum and every time I go there anymore.....no guys outside, go figure. So do I give it time and they respawn after a certain amount of time or should I look somewhere else? Like I said I can't seem to find the 2 together. Either guys and no extinguisher or extinguisher and no guys. Thanks for the help in advanced.

EDIT: I ended up getting in Park Row. Don't know why there are guys there now but it work. Hope this possibly helps someone else. I guess if you can't find guys do some other stuff then come back to it. More guys will be around.

[agentnnc]

I have 2 left: use grapple boost 5 consecutive times and use the reverse batarang to knock someone down. Tips?

[Whatup14]

For the first one I think you're talking about the zipline. Launch it, use LT to slow down and fire it in another direction. Rinse and repeat five time. For the reverse batarang, manually aim with the batarang and hold RB if i remember correctly.

[Joel78]

Yeah you need to use the remote batarang, hold LT and press RB when it locks on a target. The grapple boost is not the zip line, but its where you grapple onto something and when you are getting close you push the grapple button again and you keep flying. It's not too hard, but just takes a few tries and you can generally get it flying around the city.

Edit: Actually I don't think you press the grapnel button I think you press A or something, I can't really remember.

Edit : Found some guys next to an extinguisher, LT tap while one of them was carrying it and voila, 400/400 \m/

Whereabouts was this, this is the last Physical Challenge I need and I can't find anywhere to do it. I heard the War Room in the Musuem has one but I cleared them guards out when I got the trophies there, so there's nobody there.

EDIT: I found a place in park row, outside the theatre and there's an extinguisher next to some guys there, got to be a combo batarang that takes them out though.

best place to glide to get achievement??

If you go to the top of Wonder Tower you can glide off of there. Just keep going straight and you will eventually hit an invisible wall. When the game automatically turns you around, turn around again and keep gliding into the invisible barrier. After a minute or so you should get it.

Also, there is a riddle to scan when your gliding back towards Wonder Tower.

[hendriks2008]

Does anyone know how to complete the "take out 2enemies at once with the glide boost attack challenge and where a good place is to complete this is?

[Ecto1T]

The way I did it was I did the glide boost attack into an enemy that had one directly behind him (in a line so to speak). When Batman hits the first guy and slides across the ground it will slam into the guy behind him, or at the very worst you'll throw the guy you hit into the other man.

I found the best way to do this is to engage a group of prisoners and then jump up to a vantage point. They'll still be "fighting" you so they'll group up and look at you. That's when you strike. I think I did mine with the group of guys in front of the court house, if I remember correctly.

[Lilac]

I'm having trouble getting the Physical challenge: REC an enemy to hit an enemy (X3). I read Ofay's post and no matter how often I hit those guys or any of the armed enemies, they don't seem to hit each other. They seem to fire wildly in the air, despite being practically on top of each other facing one another. Any help is appreciated
