All the achievements of Batman: Arkham Knight. Guide to completing additional tasks or "catch villains together"

Edward Nigma is a character from the DC universe who appears in the Dark Knight comics. Nigma first appeared in the 140th edition of Detective Comics as a supervillain called The Riddler. The character was so popular that he became one of Batman's main antagonists. Not only that, Edward Nigma featured not only in comics. He also appeared in animated series, films, computer games, etc. Perhaps the most successful interpretation of the Riddler came in the series called "Gotham." It is about this version of the character that we will discuss in this article. Want to learn more about Edward Nigma and his activities? Read the material.

The series "Gotham"

Recently, the genre of superheroes has gained immense popularity. This trend was picked up by large comic book publishers. Thus, the Marvel company literally occupied the cinemas with its Avengers and Iron Men. But the competitors from "DiSi" are not bastard. While the cinema is being bombed with their films, DiC decided to take over the television. And how else to explain the release of a number of superhero TV shows like Green Arrow, Flash, Heroes of Tomorrow, etc.?

Against the backdrop of the above projects, Gotham stands out. This series, although based on comics, but tells the story of ordinary people who fight evil. This is what attracts the audience. It's pretty hard to empathize with the same Flash. After all, he has incredible abilities that make him almost invincible. “Gotham”, in turn, tells the story of an honest policeman Jim Gordon, who wants to cleanse the city from crime. Jim does not have superpowers and fights dangerous maniacs on his own. One of these maniacs is Edward Nigma. You can learn more about this character from this article.

Riddle Man Edward Nigma

The role of Edward Nigma in the series "Gotham" is performed by an actor named Corey Smith. Initially, Nigma played the role of a semi-cristo-semi-statistician. However, over time, this character gained incredible popularity among fans. It is for this reason that the role of Nigma in the plot of the series was significantly expanded. Why is Riddler Edward Nigma so popular?

Everything is pretty simple. Firstly, the actor playing Nigma copes with his task one hundred percent. Corey Smith fits perfectly in the role. Secondly, Edward Nigma is an interesting character in itself. Watching his evolution from a botanist to a brutal maniac is incredibly interesting.

First season

Edward Nigma appeared in the first episode of the series. According to the plot, he works as a forensic expert in the police department, which Jim Gordon falls into. The creators from the first frames try to show us that Nigma is a guy with oddities. Edward loves bothering his colleagues with various puzzles and puzzles. It is for this reason that Nigma is not treated in the best way in the area. They constantly make fun of him and make fun of him.

Also, one cannot fail to mention the love interest of Nigma - Christine Kringle, who works in the police archive. Edward repeatedly tried to invite the girl on a date. But she ignored Edward's courtship in every way. Later, Christine and completely struck up a relationship with policeman Tom Dougherty, who did not respect the girl and often beat her. This freaks Nigma out of himself, and in a fit of rage he kills the cop. This was Edward's first step in embarking on the path of a brutal killer.

Second season

In the second season, the character of Corey Smith was developed. Edward Nigma begins to suffer from a split personality: within him, cruelty and humanity are fighting. In addition, Nigma begins dating Miss Kringle, who believes that the ex-boyfriend left her and left the city. And everything seems to be good.

Nigma suppresses its mental disorders, relations with Christine are developing quite rapidly. However, terrible things soon happen. Miss Kringle finds out who killed Tom. Edward tries to calm the girl, but inadvertently strangles her. This was the last straw for Nigma. His alter ego takes over, and Edward becomes the Riddler.

Riddles of Edward Nigma from the series "Gotham"

The main feature of Nigma is puzzles. Throughout the series, he puzzled both the audience and other characters in the series with his puzzles. Moreover, a certain trend is noticeable. In the first season, Edward's riddles are extremely harmless and are designed to inform the interlocutor of an interesting fact or event.

In the second season, Nigma puzzles take on a more sadistic character. Recall at least the moment after the murder of Miss Kringle. The Riddler prevails over Edward, crushing his identity. While the body of Nigma was controlled by his alter ego, the Riddler dismembered his girlfriend and hid parts of her body in the police station. When the identity of Edward regained control of the body, he had to find the corpse of his lover with the help of puzzles that the Riddler had left.

Shot in the Dark (Deadshot)

Guide to completing additional tasks or "catch villains together"

... or Arkham's best hitman. An excellent sniper, carrying in his arsenal a large-caliber sniper rifle and pistols mounted on his wrists. The side kick starts when the SOS signal icon from some roof appears on your batcomputer. We fly there, talk with a frightened prisoner who says "about a psycho who chases after him and wants to kill." In the middle of the conversation, this prisoner receives a bullet in the forehead, and we are obliged to scan the area for evidence. The evidence will be the bullet by which Batman determines the killer - this is the Deadshot (it will be necessary to track the trajectory of the shot, as it was with the Joker).

What to do next? We fly to the area marked on the map by number 2. At some point, you just hear the echo of the shot, and the Oracle tells you that in another * such-and-such * area another victim of an evil sniper is noticed. The difficulty here is simply to find this victim, because the area is rather big. I will simplify this task for you: the victim on the bridge. We scan the terrain, track the trajectory of the bullet, we get the next evidence - stand for the rifle. According to her, Bats determines the quality of the metal. The third victim is easier to find - bandits gathered above her. Three or four bandits - is this a problem? We scan the area, find out that the bullet ricocheted off (finding the trajectory is not very difficult), we follow the trail and get the last evidence - the thermal trail. We contact the Oracle, we get a series of locations "a possible deadshot lair" (or something like that). The right choice is the location located in the northeast of the map. There we will find the CCP killer, hack it and find out about the next victim, which we must save in the allotted time. We save and observe the first and last miss in the career of Deadshot. Next, the battle begins directly with him.

The battle will be on the roof, in the center of which is Deadshot himself. If he gets in sight, he will kill us. Here you just need to sneak up on him quietly, hiding behind objects (while he is looking for us on the other side of the roof). Sneaking up, cutting down - the quest has passed.

Search for the Thief (Khash)

Guide to completing additional tasks or "catch villains together"

At the places marked on the map (one of ..) we find a corpse whose face is cut out and wrapped in a towel, we scan it. A trace appears, which we must follow and which will lead us to a frightened policeman who, at the sight of Batman, will impose a bunch of bricks. This is not our "kidnapper", and after a boring conversation with him, we are waiting for the search for the following victims. This is very, very difficult, because they are not indicated on the map in any way, and looking for them in Arkham is the same as looking for a needle in a haystack. The second victim in the park street, next to the AR training (fly to the left gargoyle and jump down). Scan the area and find fingerprints on the knife. Then, SUDDENLY, it turns out that these are fingerprints of Batman himself, and we are forced to look for a third victim. A reference to the third victim is the huge green billboard “ACE Chemicals”. The third corpse is next to the building on which this billboard is located. We scan and again follow the trail that leads us to the next bastard bastard who convinces us that none of this is Bruce Wayne. Well, we know that this is not so. A marker appears on the map (next to the courthouse), and we go there. There we fall into a trap and meet Khash, who, from pieces of taken faces, changed his appearance to look like Wayne (not to be an exact copy of him). And this is where the quest ends ... do you feel who will be the enemy in the next part of the game?

Fragile Alliance (Bane)

Guide to completing additional tasks or "catch villains together"

One of the easiest side effects. As soon as the signal light icon on one of the roofs appears on the betcomputer, we fly there. We go into the room and see Bane pumped by the titan. From there we learn that 12 containers with titanium are located throughout Arkham, which, although blood from the nose, must be destroyed. Six takes Bats and six takes Bane. It is worth noting that these same containers are available before the start of the quest. So they will only appear on the map, and the whole problem of the quest will be "fly in, scatter enemies, blow up containers (with explosive gel)." After all the containers are blown up, we return to Bane, we learn that he has nothing good on his mind, and gracefully isolate him in the cell. There will not even be a fight - we will limit ourselves to one video.

The Cold-blooded Killer (Zsasz)

Guide to completing additional tasks or "catch villains together"

Well, the name, seriously! Zsazz appears in Arkham Asulym, but there his role is minimal and he is cut down with one blow. Here he is assigned a much larger role - he has become a real "telephone" maniac! Every area in Arkham has a telephone that can ring if you fly by. After the start of the quest, you will need to complete a series of 5-6 classes of the same type: in a certain time, fly from one point to another (all this, of course, is Zsasz’s game, which makes us rush from phone to phone). To track a call in talk mode, move the cursor so that it does not go beyond the marked area. Repeat the procedure 5-6 times and you will track down the maniac. The neutralization procedure is quite simple - you need to go through a kind of labyrinth (with a constantly changing water level, more in the video). Do not forget that you can cling to the ledges and use a cable thrower (I always forget about it).

Through Magnifying Glass (Mad Hatter)

The quest begins next to the theater in which the Joker was tragically killed. On the roof of one of the buildings you can find the medicine dropped by Alfred (it is marked on the map). After application, Batman faints, and then a series of events takes place, which without a mat is generally very difficult to describe. The hero begins to fight the effects of the drug that the Hatter injected into him. Face ... environment ... it must be seen! By the way, in this mission you can score the maximum combo for the entire game (not counting the trials in a separate mode).

Enigma's riddle (Riddler)

Guide to completing additional tasks or "catch villains together"

In my opinion, the most difficult villain. To defeat him, you need to collect 400 (!) Trophies and save the five hostages.

The mysterious enjoys   use riddles and puzzles   in their crimes, nigma often leaving them as a hint   for the police and Batman.

Biography

Edward Nashton was raised in Waterbury. He looked for the answer to every question that surfaced in his head, Edward constantly asked endless questions to adults, who were often annoyed by it. Once at school, Edward heard about the contest from his teacher. The competition was to assemble the puzzle in the least amount of time, and the winner will receive a prize. Not only strive to win and get a reward, he wanted to get attention and popularity, Edward in no way intended to win the competition. Every night, he infiltrated the school and searched for a solution to the puzzle. He trained and as a result managed to solve the puzzle in fifteen seconds. After winning the competition, Edward received a book of puzzles and riddles. However, after winning the contest, he attracted the attention of hooligans, not those he wanted.

Years passed and Nashton found himself among the working class population. He described it as being in hell. Edward began to engage in crime in order to somehow have fun, but realized that he was not satisfied with the simple commission of crimes. He wanted to create excitement and gain fame by becoming the Riddler (he even changed his last name to Nigma). The first crimes of the Riddler were ignored by the police. In turn, the Riddler is planning his next crime, but only this time he was convinced that his intentions were known. In his first encounter with Batman, he was defeated, but the Riddler managed to escape, and despite the failure, his fascination with riddles only increased. In his next crime, he needed helpers, but they were hard to find. Riddler tried to raise funds for his next crime himself, this leads him to a meeting with his future assistants, Question and Echo, who eventually became faithful to his allies.

In their next crime, the Riddler used much more complex riddles   and tricks to knock the police off their trail. Despite what Batman saw through his tricks, Nigma had already committed his crime by this time and had fled to cover. Batman eventually caught up with him and was able to catch the Riddler and his assistants, though not for long. The Riddler escaped and later met with his assistants. Although he lost most of the money he stole from the bank, the Riddler made a reputation for himself. When committing another crime, the Dark Knight still managed to stop him and send him to Arkham Hospital.

Abilities

The Riddler has outstanding originality in solving and formulating all kinds of riddles. He has brilliant deductive and investigative skills that can compete with the skills of the Dark Knight. In addition to this, the Riddler has a huge financial condition, which he acquired during the years of his criminal life.

Like most of Batman’s opponents (as well as Batman himself), the Riddler does not have any superhuman abilities, but is a very outstanding and insidious strategist. He is not a particularly outstanding melee fighter, he also sometimes uses weapons, for example, exploding parts of a daub, a cane in the form of a question mark (which includes several types of weapons   and computer technology). The Riddler has knowledge of engineering and technology. Nigma used holograms to confuse his pursuers. He is also known as Batman's smartest opponent.
