Learn how to find and trigger the Man-Bat encounter in Batman: Arkham Knight. Follow our guide to start the Creature of the Night mission.

Alright, so you're cruising around Miagani Island after your first visit, probably just enjoying the view, when BAM! Man-Bat pops out for a scare. This little jump-scare actually kicks off a Most Wanted mission for you. Keep an eye out, because once that happens, a special icon will pop up on your map.

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    Once the mission starts, your main goal is to track down Man-Bat. He's not exactly hiding; he'll be flying around the skies above Miagani Island, usually pretty close to that first objective marker.
  2. 2
    The best way to get a bead on him is to head up to the rooftops or just glide around the city. Make sure you have Detective Mode on – he'll show up as a bright red, flying skeleton, so he's pretty hard to miss.
  3. 3
    After you've spotted him, you need to actually fly into him mid-air. This means you'll have to do some climbing on the nearby buildings, then activate your glide. You'll need to time your dive and movements just right to make contact with him as you're falling.
  4. 4
    Hitting him will trigger a short cut-scene, and after that, your objectives will update, pointing you toward the next step in dealing with our flying menace.
Tips
  • Don't bother trying to fight him on the ground; the game specifically wants you to tackle him in the air.
  • Detective Mode is your best friend here for spotting him in the sky.
  • Be patient with the mid-air tackle; it might take a couple of tries to get the timing and angle right.
