Follow this walkthrough for Batman: Arkham Knight's 'Return to Panessa Studios' mission. Learn how to stop Harley Quinn, use the Voice Synthesizer, and overcome predator sections.

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    Return to Oracle’s Clock Tower on Bleake Island. Enter the main room via the secret doorway and activate the Batcomputer.
  2. 2
    After the scene, your objective updates to Panessa Studios. Travel to Panessa Studios in north-eastern Bleake Island.
  3. 3
    Take position on an upper platform overlooking the rooftop entrance. Nine Thugs guard the entrance, two with guns, two with knives, and one with a melee weapon. Use the Disruptor to disable firearms and sabotage the weapon crate.
  4. 4
    Drop down and fight the enemies.
  5. 5
    After the fight, you'll receive the new gadget: the Voice Synthesizer, which can open voice-locked doors and direct enemies in predator sequences.
  6. 6
    Complete the on-screen mini-game to synthesize a sample of Harley's voice. Adjust the pitch (left mixer) and speed (bottom mixer) until the sample is clear. Specific settings: left mixer's lowest point on the third green bar from the top; bottom mixer halfway across the green bar in the bottom left corner.
  7. 7
    Use the Voice Synthesizer on the control panel by the elevator.
  8. 8
    Predator Section: Take out 10 Thugs, a Minigunner, and two Sentry Guns on the rooftop. Enemies may plant proximity mines and additional Sentry Turrets. Use ventilation shafts, the Voice Synthesizer to lure enemies to generators for Remote Hacking Device overload, radio towers for takedowns, and indoor areas for cover.
  9. 9
    Prioritize eliminating enemies with the Voice Synthesizer and generator traps. Use underground vents and Fear Multi-Takedowns. Save the Minigunner for last.
  10. 10
    Disable the Sentry Turrets near the elevator entrance using the Remote Hacking Device.
  11. 11
    Ride the elevator down into the lab.
  12. 12
    Upon exiting the lift, you'll face a Thug with a shield. Use a stun attack, then double-jump while facing him to perform an aerial attack, making him drop his shield. Defeat him.
  13. 13
    Use the Voice Synthesizer on the console by the gate to proceed.
  14. 14
    Enter the next area for a dual-combat fight controlling both Batman and Robin. Eliminate 15 Thugs (including three with shields, two with knives, and several with melee objects) and one Brute.
