How to Earn the Talonted Achievement

Earn the Talonted achievement in gotham knights by defeating 40 Feral Talons, 25 Gladiator Talons, and 15 Hunter Talons. Farm Court of Owls crimes.

To earn the Talonted achievement/trophy in gotham knights, you must defeat 40 Feral Talons, 25 Gladiator Talons, and 15 Hunter Talons.

Feral Talons, Gladiator Talons and Hunter Talons are all parts of the Court of Owls faction. Feral Talons start appearing in Case 3.2 - Chelsea Tunnel. Gladiator Talons will appear in Case 5.2 - Inside Gotham’s Walls, while Hunter Talons won’t appear until Case 6.2 - The Voice of the Court. After their introduction, they will begin spawning throughout Gotham City as enemies in opportunistic crimes and premeditated crimes, often as part of exclusive Owl’s Nest events. To efficiently farm these enemies, it is recommended to wait until you have started Case 7.1 to ensure all varieties of Talon spawn throughout Gotham City.

After encountering them in the main questline, you’ll be able to find Talon enemies at Court of Owls crimes throughout Gotham City. You can grind out crimes, perhaps in pursuit of legendary gear or while trying to thwart 250 crimes for the Expert Crime Fighter achievement. Look at all the premeditated crimes on the map and if the faction listed is “Court of Owls”, clear it. For opportunistic crimes, hover over each district of Gotham City on the map and look for the owl icon under the “Faction Presence” header. If you see it, head to that district and start hunting the white triangles on the map (and compass) marking opportunistic crimes, as at least one of them will spawn Court of Owls enemies. Repeat until this achievement pops.

You can continue to hunt Talons in the postgame. If you start New Game+, your story progress will reset. To get Talons to spawn again on New Game+, you’ll need to progress the main questline to Case 3.2 (Feral Talons), Case 5.2 (Gladiator Talons), and Case 6.2 (Hunter Talons), respectively. This may be beneficial if you need XP to reach level 40 for the He’d Be So Proud Of You achievement.
