Batman: Arkham Knight

Batman: Arkham Knight

Cheat Codes:
------------
Submitted by: David K.

Remove frame rate cap:
----------------------
Use a text editor to edit the "BmSystemSettings.ini" file in the "BmGameConfig" 
directory where the game was installed. Change the Max_FPS=30 line to Max_FPS=9999.


Disable opening videos:
-----------------------
Enter the "BMGameMovies" in the game directory. Rename or move the "Intro_BM3Logo_fire.usm" 
and "nv_logo.usm" files.


Freeze Blast hidden gadget:
---------------------------
The Freeze Blast is the only gadget in the game that you do not get through natural progression.
Unlike other gadgets, you actually have to find and collect it. The Freeze Blast can be found 
in Panessa Studios in the room after exiting the elevator. It is required to get some of the 
Riddler Trophies. Thus, it is required to reach 100% completion and get the full Knightfall 
Protocol ending. As the name suggests, you can freeze enemies with it to render them immobile 
for a short time, making it useful for combat encounters. You can also freeze steam pipes with
it to reach certain riddler collectibles that are otherwise inaccessible.


The Ghost in Gray:
------------------
In several areas of the game like Oracle's Clock Tower and Panessa Studios, posters can be seen
for The Gray Ghost. This is a reference to the Batman Animated Series episode "Beware the Gray 
Ghost," where Batman must solve a crime spree reminiscent of an old TV show who's main hero 
(voiced by Adam West) operated much like Batman.


Batman: Arkham series references:
---------------------------------
Enter the Gotham City Police Department, and explore the Evidence Locker to see weapons and 
items confiscated from villains in previous Batman: Arkham series of games.


Superman reference:
-------------------
Listen to the messages on Bruce's answering machine at Wayne Tower to hear several messages 
from Lex Luthor. Additionally, some thugs can be heard referencing Superman.


GCPD Evidence Locker:
---------------------
When in the GCPD, Batman can view the Evidence Locker, which contains weapons an gear 
confiscated by villains throughout Batman's adventures in Arkham Origins (note elsewhere also
the references to the Blackgate Riots that took place during that game), Arkham Asylum, and 
Arkham City - all of which have voice recordings from Aaron Cash. You can find Talia's sword
in the Evidence Locker, and inspecting it will cause Batman to have a private moment of 
reflection. Any additional enemies apprehended during the course of Arkham Knight will see 
their weapons and items added to the Evidence Locker.


New Story + mode:
-----------------
Successfully complete the game to unlock the "New Story +" option at the main menu. In New 
Story + mode, you will retain your WayneTech upgrades and experience points and will play 
on the Knightmare difficulty.


DC Universe References:
-----------------------
Throughout the game, many of the thugs Batman encounters will discuss other cities and heroes
in the DC universe, including Metropolis, Bludhaven, Keystone and Central City. There are also
several buildings owned by other DC heroes and villains.

Catwoman makes reference to having burgled Queen Industries, which is the large corporation 
owned by Oliver Queen - A.K.A. Green Arrow.

There are several billboards advertising vacation packages to Santa Prisca, which is the home
country of the villain Bane. Many Militia members can also be heard referencing the South 
American country.

Other thugs reference the fact that Gotham beats out Keystone because you can at least see 
Batman coming, unlike The Flash, who hails from Keystone.


Superman References:
--------------------
Superman has been one of Batman's best allies and greatest foes throughout his career as
the "World's Greatest Detective." In Arkham Knight, many in-game items refer to the line
between the Man of Steel and the Dark Knight.

* Listen to Bruce's answering machine in Wayne Tower to hear several messages from Lex 
  Luthor, who is interested in purchasing the Applied Sciences division of Wayne 
  Enterprises - apparently Bruce has been avoiding his calls. 
* Scattered all over Gotham are billboards for the mega-corporation that serves as the 
  main infrastructure for Clark Kent's nemesis Lex Luthor.
* Several thugs can be heard lamenting the state of Gotham, adding that all it needs 
  now is for a certain caped freak to come flying in.


General Tips:
-------------
* Remember to dodge in the Batmobile. It can take quite a bit of damage, but the game 
  throws a lot of enemy vehicles at Batman in the latter half of the game. 
* Use your special weapons with the Batmobile. The level 2 missile barrage is particularly
  effective, as you can take out three vehicles at once with it.
* Mix up combos to get the most XP from combat encounters. Also, use dual takedowns 
  frequently when fighting with one of Batman's friends.
* The supervillain side missions contribute to the true ending, so focus on those in your
  playthrough.
* The disruptor is perhaps the best gadget in the game. When you're in a room full of 
  enemies, use detective vision and disrupt a few devices before you get started on stealth
  takedowns.
* The multi-fear takedown is one of the best abilties in the game. If you see a few henchman
  all alone, you can sneak up on them and take all three out. Execute a regular silent 
  takedown to recharge the multi-fear takdown.
* Be on the lookout for areas to attach the Batmobile's Power Winch to. You might find 
  some secret goodies such as Riddler trophies.
* Remember to tap X multiple times to enact Batman's grapple boost and gain maximum height
  when flying throughout Gotham.

Different Ending:
-----------------
If you capture 14 of Gotham's most ended at the end of the game, you'll get a 
different ending than you will if you settle for the mere 7 that are technically
required.


Solomon Grundy Room:
--------------------
Consult the map of Gotham and travel to the coordinates 2208, 1851. You'll find 
a door you can enter to reach a room with a Gramophone playing a recording of 
the poem of Solomon Grundy.


Happy Unicorn Easter Egg:
-------------------------
Head for these coordinates on the world map: (1617,2295). You should find a couch 
near a shopping cart with a television inside. Stand next to the couch and face 
the television, then prepare your remote hacking device to uncover an invisible 
switch next to the television. Activate the switch to turn on the television, 
which should display an 8-bit dancing unicorn.


Easy "Knightfall" achievement or trophy:
----------------------------------------
Have a 100% completion by finishing all side quests, Riddler trophies etc. 
Note: You do not need to unlock all the AR challenges. You can continue with the
side quests after completing the main storyline.


GCPD Evidence Locker:
---------------------
When in the GCPD, Batman can view the Evidence Locker, which contains weapons an gear 
confiscated by villains throughout Batman's adventures in Arkham Origins (note elsewhere
also the references to the Blackgate Riots that took place during that game), Arkham 
Asylum, and Arkham City - all of which have voice recordings from Aaron Cash. You can 
find Talia's sword in the Evidence Locker, and inspecting it will cause Batman to have
a private moment of reflection. Any additional enemies apprehended during the course of
Arkham Knight will see their weapons and items added to the Evidence Locker.


Train Station Posters:
----------------------
Head to the train station located near Grand Avenue. Look around to find posters that 
advertise travel destinations. These include Keystone City (home of The Flash), Metropolis
(Superman's home). Look closely at the artwork promoting those destinations and you'll 
see the heroes on display.


Alternate ending sequence:
--------------------------
Get a 100% game completion, including Riddler challenges and side quests.


Batman: The Animated Series reference:
--------------------------------------
When you acquire the second Batsuit at the Falcone Shipping Yards during the main 
storyline, one of the holograms for the training missions features Batman's head. 
Look at it very carefully to notice that it is the version from the animated series.


I Am The Night Mode:
--------------------
Clear New Game+ Mode and you'll gain access to a new one: I Am the Night.
