Riddler Puzzle Trophies
What are the Riddler Puzzle trophies you ask? Well, these are the trophies you stumble across that require a bit of thinking to acquire. Depending on which one you’re after, you’ll have to stand on switches, hit targets, lead monkeys (yeah, seriously), glide, or maybe even a combination of all. Don’t worry though, we’ve got you covered.
#1
Right under the location of the non-puzzle #17 trophy is a street puzzle involving a switch, and requiring your Batmobile. Simply hit the switch using your Batarang so that you can enter. Afterwards, remote control your Batmobile in order to pull the walls out of your way using the winch.
#2
Head to the northwest wall of the main Panessa Studios building. Nestled in some grass will be a large pressure plate that can only be triggered by the Batmobile. Park on top then enter Battle Mode. There are many Riddler Switches surrounding the dome guarding the trophy. Shoot them as they light up and the dome will open, allowing you to collect your trophy using the Batclaw.
#3
Head over to the rooftop closest to the Merchant Bridge. There should be a node where you can attach the Batmobile’s power winch. Charge it up then get ready to move. A timer will appear and you’ll need to hurry over to the Chinatown location that was just opened, or else you’ll have to repeat the process (it’s located atop a building near the center of Chinatown).
#4
This one is pretty difficult and will take multiple uses of the Batmobile. First, pull out the slab using the power winch (attach and then reverse), then hop out of the Batmobile and apply some of your trusty explosive gel to that same slab. Return to the Batmobile to push the slab back in. Detonate the gel, and then once more pull the slab out. You will now be able to safely slide into the space created by your explosion and collect your trophy.
#5
This puzzle can be located just south of the difficult one above. Use the Batmobile’s winch to pull back the spring in order to launch the trophy into the prize slot where you can walk up and collect it. Nice to have a simple one every now and then, right?
#6
To the Northwest of Bleake Island is a bridge. On the Chinatown side of that bridge (south of the entrance) is a small building with a green block on the side. Use the Batmobile to move that block, exit the vehicle, and then walk up and claim your prize.
#7
You will need to have the Batmobile’s sonar ability for this, so you will have to progress at least up until the point where you work with Poison Ivy to even attempt obtaining this trophy. Drive to the ledge indicated on the map (it’s right by where you drove up the wall in one of the main story missions) and look for the Riddler sonar device. Ping it in order to trigger a series of glowing, green question marks for you to follow. They will lead you down the building, into a tunnel, out to a canal and then under a bridge. Here you will find a destructible wall. Destroy it and claim your trophy.
#8
Make sure you have the Batmobile EMP upgrade for this one. If you head over to the side of Panessa Studios you’ll find a tunnel under the building. Follow it until you reach a forcefield. There is a nearby generator that you can latch onto with your Batmobile in order to charge up your EMP and then trigger it to disrupt the forcefield. Immediately launch yourself out of the Batmobile then use your line launcher to make yourself a perch right over the forcefield before it reappears. There should now be lighted question marks for you to hit with your Batarangs in order to unlock the trophy.
#9
In the center of the Panessa Studios parking lot is a puzzle tower that is much easier to solve than it looks. Simply attach your Batmobile’s winch to the side and rotate the tower until all of the switches are exposed. Next, hit all of the switches (which you should be used to by now), and that will unlock your Riddler trophy.
