A lot of people struggle on what to upgrade first and what’s important and what’s not.
With that in mind, it’s important to realize that although you may be hurt after a big fight, finding a few collectibles will usually put you back at full health.Įxperience is important because it allows you to purchase upgrades for Batman. This is done in three ways, killing enemies, completing objectives and collecting Riddler clues/trophies/chronicles/etc. What makes this game different is that in order to restore his health you need to gain experience. Batman’s health goes down when he is hit by an enemy or other harmful medium (obviously). I found this walkthrough to be very useful with it's easy to follow guidance and pretty pictures.Īlso, before we begin, it’s important to mention how the health and experience system work. Although the game is fairly straightforward, you may also want to follow a walkthrough in case you get lost. This is because some collectibles require you to have certain Batman gadgets that aren’t rewarded until later in the story. As you’ll see when you look at his guide, you cannot collect every collectible in an area the first time you visit. I personally used swaggers’ guide for collectibles and found it very useful. Although none of the collectibles are missable, it’s best to collect as many as you can in each area since they give you experience for more upgrades. Leave No Man Behind on the other hand happens very early in the story, so missing it isn’t that big of a deal.īefore we begin, you need to pull up a collectibles guide to follow as you progress through the story. If you fail to do it, you’ll be forced to play through the entire game again.
Out of those two, Party Pooper should be the one you’re most concerned with as it is only available at the end of the game right before the final boss fight.
The game has only two missable achievements, Leave No Man Behind and Party Pooper. Out of those achievements, the challenge achievements seem to give people the most fits. The game’s achievements can be split into four basic categories, story related, challenge related and combo/combat achievements and miscellaneous. The achievements for difficulty are stackable which means that you only need to do one play through. It seems that the combat challenges are very difficult for some people and have caused the death of several innocent controllers.īatman: Arkham Asylum is an over the shoulder action game that is sure to please anyone who plays it. I have given this game a 7/10 for difficulty based off of the fact that so many people have had trouble maxing it out. Does difficulty affect achievements?: Yes Do cheat codes disable achievements?: No Cheats Number of missable achievements: 2 (Leave No Man Behind, Party Pooper) Minimum number of playthroughs needed: 1
