How to Escape the Labyrinth

Master the Labyrinth in Gotham Knights! Learn how to dodge wall spikes, avoid flamethrowers, navigate spinning blades, and solve the Owl Sphere puzzle.

Alright, so you've made it into the Labyrinth, huh? Don't worry, these traps are more annoying than deadly if you know what to do. Let's get you through this without a scratch.

How to Escape the Labyrinth Traps

Wall Spikes

First up, you'll hit these wall spikes that just shoot out from both sides. You can't jump over 'em or dash through. The trick? Just duck! Seriously, it's that simple. Crouch down (left on PC, or the button shown in the source for Xbox/Playstation) and you'll slide right under them like a pro.

Flamethrowers

Next, you've got these flamethrowers. They're off most of the time, so you just need to time your run. The best way is to just walk under them when they're not active. There are a few ways to get through, but the simplest is just to time your movement.

Spinning Blades

This one looks tougher. You'll come to a dead end, but then you'll turn back and BAM! The flamethrowers are gone, replaced by these nasty spinning blades. It's a bit like the spikes – you need to crouch again. But here's the kicker: you also have to weave around the blades as they move. Keep an eye on their pattern and move carefully.

Hallucinations

This part's a bit trippy and unique to whoever you're playing as – Batgirl, Nightwing, Robin, or Red Hood will all see different things. Honestly, it doesn't matter which way you go, left or right. Just pick a path and keep running. That door you see will keep backing away, but don't give up! Keep trying to open it, and eventually, you'll get through to the next section: a puzzle room.

How to Solve the Owl Sphere Puzzle

This puzzle is pretty straightforward. You've got this owl sphere, and you need to shine its light onto a stone door across the room. To move the sphere, you'll grapple to the owl statues hanging above. Stand on the ground platforms beneath them to position the sphere. Here’s the sequence: first, grapple to the statue opposite the sphere. Then, drop down and stand on the left platform, followed by the right one. Finally, grapple to the other owl statue. That should do it!

After you nail this puzzle, get ready for a fight. You'll face a Gladiator Talon in the next room. If you need a hand with that, check out our guide on how to beat them!
