Gadgets and Riddler guide
Quick notes
- Read the obstruction first. Detective Mode highlights useful environmental features.
- Separate Riddler challenge types. A trophy is collected, a riddle is solved by scanning the relevant scene, and a question-mark puzzle depends on the viewing angle.
- Use maps as a search area. Riddler maps help narrow down remaining secrets without solving their interactions.
- Return after equipment changes. The island becomes easier to clean up once Batman has the later gadgets.
Separate Riddler challenge types

Useful tip
The island becomes easier to clean up once Batman has the later gadgets.
