I’ll never forget playing this game recently and someone was watching me and said “can I please see more than the abyss and blue skeletons for 2 seconds?”
These challenges are epic! But I’ve got to say unless you’re Batman Arkham Videos who’s basically the Arkham God himself you usually play with detective mode on at least 70% of the time so taking it away makes things soooooo difficult… (Yes I’ve attempted this challenge for the 4 games and it drove me crazy-)
14:59 I’m surprised you didn’t know this since you’ve watched so many speed runs of this game, but there actually is no “right” chopper with the code during Protocol 10. It’s ALWAYS the 6th one you scan. I learned that funnily enough from watching a speed run.
That's not what I was saying. I had already scanned the final chopper I needed to, meaning there was now a correct chopper. If you look in Detective Mode after scanning the final chopper, it has a different highlight than all the others. This highlight is the only indication of which chopper you need to latch onto, there isn't one outside Detective Mode. So, if I had lost this chopper in the chaos, it would have been very difficult for me to find it again.
I cannot get over how GOOD the mr.freeze boss fight is On my first ever play through of this game, I was ACTUALLY SCARED to fight him. I’m not joking, when I finally won I had to calm down afterwards because my legs were shaking so much.
You should play origins if you haven't because the final fight was like this for me, my brother always had to do it and I remember the first time I did it myself my friends were watching and we were all scared and excited
I've done little challenges recently where I try to beat every arkham game casually in less than 24 hours (it sounds dumb because it is dumb) and playing in the dark was such a pain to my eyes. Return to arkham city was rough with DM and every investigation in asylum with the flashes just killed me.
I thought of a theoretical and potential way to use Smoke Pellets without getting forced into Detective Mode. Theoretical being maybe that if you're quick enough or do the right move such as a (I think it's called a Combat Roll) to get yourself enough distance in a short amount time, you can get yourself out of the smoke before it puts you into Detective Mode. Potential being that when you need to use it, instead of quickfiring it, equip the Smoke Pellet gadget and throw it instead. It'll just take a bit more time, an ounce of effort (as to deciding where you want to throw it), and it'll need to be thrown far enough away from you so the smoke's not deploying with you still in its radius
i did that in origins when i did the no detective mode challenge that the game sets you, the window is short, but not so short you cant avoid it. I deployed it and grappled at the same time.
The man is back again, doing crazy challenges. Count me in! Appreciate you taking note of this amazing franchise and finding different ideas to mess around with them.
I actually didn't know what the 'intended' method to get past the sniper at 14:05 was until this year. I always used either the Freeze Blast or Batarang to knock him down to get close.
4:46 You can glide right in over their heads. Or just wait a few seconds, they split up and walk away. 16:44 You can grapple up to the center section right from where you were instead of taking the long way around and going outside then into the vent.
If you ever get the chance and want a decent challenge, you should play the " I am the knight" mode in Arkham origins. It unlocks when you complete new game plus and you can't die.I think you would like it
in the factory nearing joker's boss fight you don't need to just takedown the snipers at the office there's a generator in the same room (the one used earlier in the game to move the crane thingie) which you can hit with the rec to take everyone's guns away
Just wondering am I the only one that wishes the are games had a chapter load system so you could battle any of the bosses without having to create a whole new safe file? Kind of like how there’s a chapter select in Spider-Man: Miles Morales. At the very least a boss rush mode would be kind of cool. It would’ve made it easier for you to fight Mr. freeze again
After almost 2 months, I finally got through every predator map with every character (yes, including catwoman on TOTW Ex), and that was hard enough, I am not doing all the predator maps without detective mode, if I did I actually think I'd cry, lol
I did the same a while back, it was so, so very hard, especially catwoman's; I think I only completed the final extreme campaign with catwoman just *barely*, the last map I had 25 minutes on it.
@@bardofvoid174 Ouch! Yeah catwoman actually wasn't even the hardest, that honor goes to Robin also on TOTW Ex, who took me almost an hour to beat all because of the stupid extinguisher challenge!
3:28 there's actually a really easy way to skip this one. If you use the rec gun to open the hatch you can slide under it without having to take out the thugs
That is the speedrun strat I was referring to. However, it requires smoke to disorient the thugs, otherwise you will die. Since there are 3 enemies at the door, they will kill you unless you have armor upgrades, or are playing on easy mode. Neither of which applied to me.
Watching these wonderful challenge runs makes me realise how many little things were changed between Asylum and City. I still remember (and miss) Asylum's Sonic Batarang. That thing *cleared* man. I miss it. Edit: Freeze on NG+ took me days. Literal days. Though that was mainly because I kept getting stuck on the last one or two hits. As did Joker's Carnival. But so did young me on normal. Wonder Tower's a bitch though, yeah.
I love the fact that joker progressively gets more ill looking through the game because he didn’t look that different when you first see him in city vs asylum
Technically, you _did_ beat Arkham City without detective mode. For the sections where you had to scan things, you were using the "Evidence Scanner". Technically not detective mode!
A bit of a subjective list would be ranking the games by the best 'opening', which depending on the game is either the first big 'building' or the segment of the game before you get your first 'Grand Objective". In Arkham Asylum, this is the intial leg in Intensive Treatment. In City, it's everything up until saving Catwoman. In Origins, it's the Blackgate segment. Et Cetera.
I have 100%ed the entire series on steam and now I’m redoing it on PlayStation (currently on Arkham city) meaning I’ve played this series a lot and only just now finding out you can slide through vent covers to bust them open
Fun fact:you can actually skip the predator section after Rahs al ghul's boss fight,I use it in my playthroughs sometimes when I don't feel like being stealthy
Honestly I doubt I could beat this game without it. Considering I don’t notice the small things I use it quite often, this would definitely be a challenge lol
It's not that the Tyger guards saw you on a gargoyle immediately, it's that after escaping a couple times by grappling above the AI will then adapt and shoot down the vantage points and if you're on the one that the AI chose to shoot down, that's how you're spotted. New Game Plus mode will have them shoot down the vantage points after 1 grapple escape on the gargoyles.
I feel like a lot of minor annoyance could be avoided if this series was "can you beat the Arkham City preditor sections without detective mode". Not quite a snappy title, but still
Quick question: Why don't you get rid of the smoke bomb before you start a combat or Predator challenge? You can just throw it out and away from you so you never have to worry about it triggering the DV. This combined with Ice Grenades and Sonic Batarangs turns most Predator rooms into a no DV no challenge zones.
One could argue that the church and courtroom do not count because as the game states it is the “evidence scanner” not detective mode (I am agreeing with mr puncher)
I’ll never forget playing this game recently and someone was watching me and said “can I please see more than the abyss and blue skeletons for 2 seconds?”
You turn to them and politely tell them hell no.
You ask them politely yet firmly to leave.
You impolitely tell them to fuck off.
@@Dctctx “what if someone wants it well done”
This is the main reason I prefer the ‘detective vision’ in PS4’s Marvel’s Spider-Man.
The entire feel of this video is basically:
"Yeah, some guys tried to kill me"
"But they didn't."
Underrated comment.
@forceful_sporktheboysarchi5913 it's the second most liked comment
That's basically just batman as a whole.
Everyone else: "can I beat Arkham City While only using detective mode?"
Yes I've done it many times lol
Can I beat Arkham city while playing the hit song the wheels on the bus
literally everyones gameplay lol
I can't stand being in detective mode for too long personally, mind-numbingly boring visually
These challenges are epic! But I’ve got to say unless you’re Batman Arkham Videos who’s basically the Arkham God himself you usually play with detective mode on at least 70% of the time so taking it away makes things soooooo difficult…
(Yes I’ve attempted this challenge for the 4 games and it drove me crazy-)
As someone who also attempted this challenge I understand you so much 😭
same here , was still fun to try nonetheless👌
Every time he says "it doesn't matter" i keep thinking of owlman
Freeze: I will track your detective mode!
Batman: What's detective mode?
Freeze tracks detective mode?! I thought he tracked footprints?
Both
@@HOTD108_ Freeze will disable Detective Mode if you use it for too long on New Game +.
@@HOTD108_if you use it too much I believe he disables it and if you're in the grate that's how he dodges I think
@@itsame43 as someone who just beat freeze on new game plus he only does it on new game plus and it’s a damn issue 🫠

I always thought it was in parkrowe, I swear I just go to the one I think it is and usually get it in 2 or 3 attempts
"The non-marvel Dr strange", Linkin park references, this script is already one of your best.
I cannot get over how GOOD the mr.freeze boss fight is

Whenever I play stealth missions my hands sweat so much 😆
me too @@Jf_productions556
also me@@ravencollins5638
I was not expecting to learn something new about City in 2022 but here we are, thank you
I'm gonna say one thing, activating DM in this game and after, doesn't give the eye strain Asylum did
I've done little challenges recently where I try to beat every arkham game casually in less than 24 hours (it sounds dumb because it is dumb) and playing in the dark was such a pain to my eyes. Return to arkham city was rough with DM and every investigation in asylum with the flashes just killed me.
I had Detective Mode most of the Asylum it didn't strain my eyes I prefer it on

Hey Clownpuncher watching your channel inspired me to try and 100% all arkhak games, Thank you
How did it go?
Hey dude, you nailed the thumbnail out of the park, I couldn’t wait for this video to drop because of it!
I wan't going to leave a like, but going all the way back through with New Game Plus really deserved it. Hope it helps!
Technically you are in the evidence scanner and not in detective mode.
If you ever get the chance and want a decent challenge, you should play the " I am the knight" mode in Arkham origins. It unlocks when you complete new game plus and you can't die.I think you would like it
He played new game plus and said hes never doing i am the knight cause its crazy
As shadowbat said this is going to be a banger
in the factory nearing joker's boss fight you don't need to just takedown the snipers at the office
there's a generator in the same room (the one used earlier in the game to move the crane thingie) which you can hit with the rec to take everyone's guns away

I've been waiting for this for a while. Glad I found your channel.
It is a crime that I haven’t subbed before this
Perfect timing man I was getting sick of Ancient Aliens and I watched the no grapple challenge earlier
The clone assaulter have returned
Good job shattering the glass ceiling there. Knew it would be clown puncher to deal the killing blow.
You’re a legend for replaying the freeze fight on ng+

You're videos are great keep up the good work
Every time I put on my EMT boots I feel like Batman suiting up at the beginning of the game
Honestly I've played through this game like 50 times and I need a challenge so I'm gonna attempt this
I did it
Absolutely love these challenges!
Incredible video Jarrod-san. You are so very underrated. I hope you get 1000M subs someday.
Seriously, please stop calling me that.
Love your work man, keep it up!!!
love your content, keep up the awesome work
I love the fact that joker progressively gets more ill looking through the game because he didn’t look that different when you first see him in city vs asylum
These videos are great keep up the good work
9:38 I’ve played through this game countless times and for countless hours and have never seen that move before
If u completed riddler physical challenges u would know
Technically, you _did_ beat Arkham City without detective mode. For the sections where you had to scan things, you were using the "Evidence Scanner". Technically not detective mode!
Oh my god dude Batman Arkham City was my teenage years I miss Arkham City one of my favorite games of the PS3 era
Love your content
I need to try some of these challenges to spice up my arkham playthoughts
Clownpuncher!!! Why do you have to make such a great video with a challenge I really wanted to beat you to. GG Clownpuncher. I will be back
clonwpuncher i literally gasped when you said you havent played arkham city in over 8 months. blasphemy.
I actually knew that you can grapple up to that scaffolding in the center of the room at the top of wonder tower before i watched this video
Amazing content, keep it up
The chapters💀
14:08 here, you could’ve shot the generator with the REC gun to disarm the two snipers
Another amazing clownpuncher vid on arkham city, woo!
I really liked the Mr Freeze boss fight on new game plus I think it's harder
Honey wake up clownpuncher139 posted a new ac video
Great video
Can you please do a video of Beating Batman Arkham Knight without using Detective Mode? I’ve enjoyed watching your videos.
Babe, get off me. Clownpuncher just uploaded
This game Is just otherwordly good, along with the rest.

Lmao I learnt that on the Batgirl DLC for Knight, late as shit
because you are vengeance!!!!
1:00 bruh I JUST listened to "In the End" lmao
video idea: complete main story in any of the arkham games taking out as little enemies as possible
Finally a game that doesn't use a lot of detective mode
You have entered detective mode five times that's five off from your 10 in asylum
It’s only after watching these videos I realise how safe I play these games
I love batman Arkham city so much
I love 1:50 strat so much
It’s punchin time
I've played arham city 4 times and I can't believe I never tried using the bat claw to pull enemies off ledges
Finally new video

Yes just yes
huh, i never even thought of using the disruptor on mr freeze.
I wish i could go through life without detective mode
does clownpuncher respond? i love the videos
I hope so
I feel like a lot of minor annoyance could be avoided if this series was "can you beat the Arkham City preditor sections without detective mode".
Not quite a snappy title, but still
I counted only 2 times i beliave where you needed to use Detevive Mode whitch shocked me but yeah.
I wouldn't call evidence scanners as Detective mode,it basically is but i wouldnt count it.
nice job
I did this in arkham knight sadly the game forces detective vision on a few places at the start of the game
yippeeee
