Alright, so you're diving into the NG+ playthrough and tackling the 'Identity Thief' challenges, huh? This part of the guide is all about those tougher bits, specifically the New Game Plus, Batman's Physical Challenges, the Harley Quinn's Revenge DLC, and then really digging into all the Riddler's Revenge levels for Batman, Catwoman, Robin, and Nightwing. If you're aiming for that sweet 100% completion, you're in the right place. Just remember, this is Part 2 of the guide, so make sure you've checked out Part 1 for the main story and all those pesky Riddler collectibles from your first playthrough.
- 1New Game Plus (NG+): This is your second run through the main story, but with tougher enemies and some new challenges. You'll need to play through the story again, keeping an eye out for any achievements you might have missed or specific objectives that are easier to tackle on a harder difficulty.
- 2Batman's Physical Challenges: These are a set of combat and predator challenges specifically for Batman. You'll need to achieve certain scores or complete specific objectives within these challenges to unlock related achievements. Focus on mastering your combat flow and using the environment to your advantage.
- 3Harley Quinn's Revenge DLC: This is a separate story expansion. You'll play through its unique missions and challenges, keeping an eye out for any achievements tied specifically to this DLC content.
- 4Riddler's Revenge (All Characters): This is where it gets intense. You'll need to complete all the combat and predator maps for Batman, Catwoman, Robin, and Nightwing. Each character has their own set of challenges, and you'll need to achieve specific medal requirements (usually Gold) on each one. This is often the most time-consuming part, so be prepared to practice and learn the nuances of each character's move set.
- Master Each Character: Seriously, don't underestimate how different each character plays. Robin has his gadgets, Nightwing has his escrima sticks and dives, Catwoman is all about speed and stealth, and Batman is your all-rounder. Learn their strengths and weaknesses for the Riddler's Revenge maps.
- Combat Flow is Key: For the combat challenges, chaining FreeFlow combos, using environmental takedowns, and perfectly timed dodges are crucial. Aim for high scores by keeping your combo meter up.
- Predator Patience: The predator challenges require a more strategic approach. Use your gadgets, gargoyles, and the environment to isolate enemies and take them down silently. Don't rush in!
- DLC First or Last?: It's often a good idea to tackle the Harley Quinn's Revenge DLC before diving deep into the Riddler's Revenge maps, as it can sometimes feel like a natural progression.
- Don't Get Discouraged: Some of these challenges, especially the higher-level Riddler ones, can be brutal. Take breaks, watch videos if you're really stuck, and remember that practice makes perfect.
