Red Hood vs Black Mask
This is it, the showdown you’ve been waiting for! First things first, as soon as Red Hood breaks into the office he will be attacked by 8 hostiles. Two of them will be carrying electric batons, so keep this in mind when trying to take them out. Otherwise its a pretty straight forward fight. Build up a solid combo, counter when prompted, and try to end the electric baton guys first.
After you end the 8 hostiles the real fight will begin. Black Mask and five of his closest buddies will burst into the side door, ready to take you down. There is an electric panel directly to your right after the scene that you can use for an environmental takedown. Try not to focus on the thugs too much here, because they will continuously replenish their numbers and endlessly spawn from the doors in the larger room. Even so, you will probably kill a lot of Black Mask’s men in this fight, so be ready.
Your primary concern is Black Mask, so do your best to single him out. Corner him if you can and keep the pressure on him with light strikes. Seriously, straying to focus on any of his thugs is a waste of your time and energy. Also, leaving Black Mask alone for too long will let him load his pistol and try and take a powerful shot at you from afar. Dodging this is pretty simple, but if you focus on him he’ll never even get the chance.
Stop your assault on Black Mask only when another thug gets near. And even then, only break to counter an attack or stop a charging hostile. Black Mask is also invulnerable to takedown maneuvers, so whenever you build one up just use it to take down the nearest goon. He’ll eventually get replaced by another, but at least it’ll give you a few seconds for a one-on-one with Mask. This will likely be a long fight, so be careful. Once Black Mask’s health is done Red Hood will have a few choice words with him and you’ll have beaten the mission. Congrats!
