A cold, cold introduction

I'm baack. Hey guys it's been awhile since I've been able to write about this game, but this DLC proved the perfect time for me to get back into the game so to speak, (get it, in the game) lol. Anyway, I'm going to write the best guide for the DLC that I can, and then I'll see what I can do about some other parts of the main game, thanks so much to all my loyal supporters who helped get my other guide to 100,000 hits and counting.

The Cold,  Cold Walkthrough

Wayne Mansion

The opening scene of the DLC is Ferris Boyle receiving a humanitarian award from Bruce Wayne in hi own home. After he walks away with Alfred, a wall of ice crashes through the wall along with many armed men, and then the main antagonist, Mr. Freeze busts through and demands to know where Ferris Boyle is.

After this, you gain control of Bruce Wayne and are immediately punched in the face by a thug, and then held at gunpoint. A short scene involving Alfred will play and then you will be prompted to counter the thug with the gun, do so, and then take out the three remaining thugs. You are not batman yet, so all you can do is punch, counter, evade, disarm and destroy and ground takedown. Also, you will have minimal heath due to having no armor upgrades. Alfred will instruct Bruce to become Batman after the thugs are down, and tell him to go to the study, so follow Alfred until he gets to a door at the end of the hall, and enter it.

You will now be in the study, where Vicki Vale will appear and ask Bruce some questions. Then Alfred will stay with the people and tell Bruce to go to the wine cellar, once you gain control of Bruce, go through the door opposite to the one you came in through. You will arrive in a predator room.

There will be four enemies in this room, the first is right in front of you with his back to you, walk up and take him out with a silent takedown. The next two will be standing together on an elevated platform admiring some pearls, sneak behind them and perform a double silent takedown. The final enemy will begin walking toward your position, wait until he reaches the display case between you and him, crouch and walk around the case in the direction opposite of him until you are behind him, preform a silent takedown and get rid of him. Now walk through the north door that the last thug had been guarding. It is important to note you do not have access to any gadgets or detective mode, so be careful.

On the other side of the door, you will be in a long corridor, walk down and around the corner until you come to a railing with five unarmed penguin thugs on a lower level on the other side, one has a pipe. Jump down and take out the five thugs with your limited arsenal, and then you will receive a call from Alfred, telling you to go to the tasting room and check the statue. From the balcony head to the northwest corner of the room and walk through a golden gate, you will walk into the tasting room. Here walk straight ahead until you see a strange statue on your left, activate it to open a secret passage in the wall with a door at the bottom of some stairs, go through the door.

The Batcave

Now you are in a secret tunnel connecting the manor to the Batcave, walk down the corridor until you reach a break in the walkway, jump over the gap and then slide on your hands across a narrow ledge until you can pull yourself up again. Continue through another corridor, then through two automatic doors until you reach the elevator platform, press the button and you will receive another call from Alfred, telling you to put on the "XE Suit." When the elevator stops follow the pathway under the batwing until you go up two sets of stairs and see the Batsuit chamber (near the batcomputer). Walk up to the suit container and you will get a look at this XE suit, but it isn't ready yet, so you will instead don the normal batsuit, and gain access to all your upgrades, with the exception of the glue grenades.

Now that your batman, glide back over to the elevator that you used to enter the Batcave, and ride it back up. Once you activate the elevator, Alfred will inform you that the formula used for the glue grenades was unstable, and they now cannot be used.

Wayne Manor

As you walk toward the automatic door, the power will go out and Alfred will be abducted. Charge the nearby power generator with your shock gloves, and then the door will open, continue along the pathway, over the gap, and then you will have to grapple to the other part of the catwalk, continue to through the door into the wine cellar. The door once guarded by the statue is now steaming, and you will have to force it open. The cellar will be on fire, wine bottles exploding everywhere and you will be able to hear thugs nearby. Head left and you will notice the golden gate is blocked, but there are grates that run under them, go down into the grates and get under the the nearby armed thug, and perform a takedown. Then take out the seven remaining unarmed thugs (2 Pipes, 2 Wine Bottles, 1 gun on the ground). Once they're all down, grapple up to the upper balcony and walk through the corridor, the door at the end will now be blocked by flames, so activate detective mode and search for a nearby vent on the wall, pry it off and crawl through it. Inside, you will be in a small hole in the wall, grapple up onto a nearby ledge, then climb over a wall then up a ladder into the Library, and it will once again be a predator room.

This time, Alfred will be in the center of the room, and there will be nine armed thugs walking around, while you are on a ledge on the south end of the room. Start by grappling one vantage point to the left, then jump down and take out the lone thug here silently. Now grapple back up, and go two more vantage points due north over the head of another lone thug, silently take him out and grapple back up to a vantage point. Now, once again head two vantage points south and you will be directly above the north door, but it is blocked. There will be a lone thug standing either under or near this vantage point. Jump down and take him out silently without being seen. Don't use the inverted takedown because it will alert the other thugs to your position. By now, the thugs should notice one of the bodies in the room, and three or four of them will go to it. If you have been following this guide and all is well, the body should be under a vantage point, so use your remote claw to take out one of the thugs by hanging him from a vantage point, and then use another remote claw to tie the two remaining thugs together and knock them down, then perform a ground takedown on both of them. For me, this attracted the last two thugs to my location, so I quickly dropped a smoke pellet, and used my fists to take out the last two thugs.

Now that the thugs are gone from the room, head to the northern door and push the large crest blocking it out of the way. The civilians and Alfred will leave the room, and you will be informed that Farris Boyle is in the next room, go through the north door. In this room you will face five thugs tormenting a Farris (1 armed, 1knife, 1 pipe), take them all out and Mr. Freeze will appear from around a corner and a scene will begin. Batman will be frozen and Freeze will take Farris away, then three thugs will run up and attack you (1 Taser). Spam the X button to break out of the ice and then take the thugs out and run around the corner after Freeze. When you round the corner you will see the new enemy of this DLC, an ice gun thug. He will have frozen the stairs, so grapple up onto the balcony where he was and go through the door around the corner. You will see a short scene with Freeze escaping, and then you will be left to take care of the eleven enemies in this room (two pipes, two ice guns). These ice gun enemies are...annoying. To beat them you must treat them like armored enemies, and perform a beatdown to put them down for the count. Their ice guns will immobilize you if you get hit, and they deal massive damage. The best way to beat them is to throw a double Batarang at them and then glide to them and cape stun the both. Perform a beatdown on one, and then you will have a high enough combo to perform a takedown on the one that is remaining. Now that the two annoying enemies are down, take out the remaining nine enemies, and then interrogate the final enemy.

Once they're all out a scene will begin and Batman will call his batwing, and will fast travel automatically to the Coventry district.

Anarky in a Frozen Gotham

As soon as you arrive in the city, you will notice, it has been greatly reduced. You will only have access to the Coventry, and Diamond districts in this DLC, and in addition the areas are somewhat...different. This is caused by all the ice, well you know. As soon as you arrive you will get a radio call saying that Anarky is causing trouble again, so let's deal with him first. If you look at your map you will see three red fists near your current location, set the one due west of you as your waypoint and make your way there.

On your way to this marker, stop at the radio tower that you will pass and enter detective mode. If you are standing directly behind the tower facing the bat signal, if you look to the left or right at street level you will see two, strange looking orange people with jagged exteriors. These are two police officer who have been frozen by these new freeze guns. Glide to the one on your left if you are facing the bat signal over Anarky riots. Walk up to him and analyze him (Cop 1/20), you will need the XE suit to free him, but now he is marked on the map. Return to the tower and then find the other officer, and analyze him (Cop 2/20) to put him on the map.

When you arrive at the riot, you will see seven unarmed rioters rioting, jump down and take them all out. That's one riot down, two more to go, for now. Set your waypoint for the north most riots, and make your way there. Here, you will see eight enemies (three baseball bats) arming a bomb, take them out quickly, as a timer will appear as soon as you engage them, you have to disarm the bomb in 90 seconds. As soon as they are beaten, disarm the bomb by walking up to it and pressing the X button when prompted by the game. From the location of where you diffuse the bomb, look due east in detective mode to see another frozen cop, analyze him (Cop 3/20) to mark him on your map. If you look due east of this cop, you will see another one, these guys are everywhere. Run to this next cop and analyze (Cop 4/20) him so he will be on your map. Now that that's done, set a marker for the final riot that you can deal with right now, the south most riots.

On the way there, if you have been following this guide, you will arrive between the two radio towers on the way to the riot, there will be a road sign for Blackgate prison to your south, and towers to the east and west. Enter detective mode and look to the east, you will see a frozen cop on the ground level a bit to the east of your location, go to him and scan his position (Cop 5/20). He is located along the western edge of the Diamond District if you have trouble finding him. From his location, turn your back to him and activate detective mode. Look to the south west, in the direction of the Anarky riot, you will see another frozen cop in this direction, go to him and scan his location (Cop 6/20). Now grapple up onto the building directly west of the frozen cop and walk across the buildings south edge of the roof until you see a large pipe coming out. Near the pipe, you will see an Anarky tag; scan it (Tag 1/12). You will be extremely close to the riot now, but we have a few more things to do first, so return to the location of the previous frozen cop (Cop 5/20). Once again put your back to him, this time, if you look east you will see an Anarky symbol on the back of a bus station, go to it and scan it (Tag 2/12). Now from the symbol walk onto the main road, about three or five steps away and you will see another frozen cop across the road and around a corner, analyze him (Cop 7/20). If you look due north you will see another frozen cop, walk in his general direction until you come to a staircase down, go down it and you will see an Anarky tag on the wall, scan it (Tag 3/12). Now keep walking in the direction of the unscanned cop until you reach the bottom of the stairs, and are at a wall, grapple up onto it and walk into the nearby street. Look left (west) in detective mode to see another Anarky tag, run up and scan it (Tag 4/12). Now if you look at the Cop we have not analyzed yet, you will notice he is surrounded by armed men, ignore the cop, as he is at the same location as penguins dealer, so now let's go take care of that Anarky riot.

This third riot is rather mundane compared to the other two, there will be six enemies (two baseball bats, one knife) beating up a cop, take them all out to end this third riot, there will be one more riot to complete, but its not happening yet, so for now, let's run a few errands before we get the penguins man. There is one more cop we should mark right now, he is located in the south-west most corner of the accessible map, it was the locations of one of the bird riots in the actual story. Head to this corner from your current location, it should be rather close, and you will see the cop inside a warehouse guarded by five thugs (one armed). Take out the thugs and then you will notice this cop is inside this warehouse and you cannot analyze him. Instead enter detective mode, then press R3 and zoom in on the cop, then press and hold L1 to mark him on the map (Cop 8/20). The next cop is on the maps other extreme, head to the south eastern most part of the diamond district, immediately south of the Gotham Royal Hotel's parking garage, on a small ally with a railing facing the water. Analyze this cop to add him to the map (Cop 9/20). Now for the Royal Anarky tag, if you look at the royal hotel on the map (the huge building on the far east part of the diamond district), you will notice the front juts out a little bit, go to the point where the building is farthest west, and face the building in detective mode. Just north of the west most part of the hotel, on the wall, is the Anarky tag; scan it (Tag 5/12). Head due north from here and on ground level and you will see a building appear to your right (east), on the western edge of this building at street level is an Anarky tag, scan it (Tag 6/12).The next tag we can find is on a building directly east of here, look on the map for the small boat-shaped corner in Coventry, and if you look north you will see it is a building that ends just east of one of our frozen cops we already scanned. Go to this building and you will find a tag on a roof near a catwalk. This one is hard to describe it location, so I'm sorry if it is hard to understand (Tag 7/12).  From this tag head due north until you come to a factory like building with many pipes coming out of it located in the northwest most part of the Coventry district. On the north side of the roof you will find an Anarky, facing out toward the water, scan it (Tag 8/12). The next tag is directly east of the cop south of this building, on the wall in a train tunnel, go inside and scan the tag (Tag 9/12). Now return to the location of the previous tag (Go to Tag 8/12). From here, set your marker for the closest cop due east of your current location, go to his location. From there, grapple up onto the building due south of the cop, look for this tag on a wall on the end of a catwalk on the northern part of the roof, the tag is facing the east; scan it (Tag 10/12). Now from this location, head toward the story marker, but approach from the east. As you pass between a building and the sea closest to the marker from the location of that last tag, you will see a balcony on a building just east of the story marker, and on that balcony is an Anarky tag, scan it (Tag 11/12). That is the last tag we will be able to find for a while, and there's only one left too, figures. Anyway, now that we have a few frozen cops on our radar and we scanned a bunch of tags, it's time to continue with the story, head toward the green marker that shows where penguin's arms dealer is.

The Penguin Strikes Back

You are already pretty much on top of this group of thugs, but when you see them, notice that there are about eight armed thugs in an extremely open area, and a frozen cop in the middle of them,  so that means...ITS PREADITOR TIME!

Above all these thugs is a series of iron beams you can hide up on, grapple up and get a look at the area. In the north eastern corner of this "room" is an elevated platform with a crate and two enemies on it, the enemies are far apart, so glide there and silently take them both out, then grapple back up to the beams. About four enemies will be close to the cop, and three will be in the far west part of the room. The three will be in an L- pattern, one north, one south and one west, all with their backs to each other. Take the north thugs out first, then immediately the southern one. Finally, take out the relatively isolated western thug, this leaves four enemies left, grapple back up to the beams. By now, two thugs should have split off from the four watching the cop, and one should have gone behind some boxes extremely close, but out of the sight of the others. Silently take him out and grapple back up to the beams. The next thug will by now be behind a truck, near the ladder used by normal people to access the elevated platform, the others can't see him, so take him out. The last two thugs are extremely close to this position, standing next to each other watching the cop, crouch behind them and perform a double takedown to end this.

Now that that is over, you will have to conduct a crime scene to find clues to the location of Penguin's dealer. Enter detective mode and scan the red triangle above the frozen cop(Cop 10/20). You will learn the cop has been cryogenically frozen, now scan the next triangle right next to the first to reconstruct the crime. Scan the third and final triangle under the cryogun to reveal a path directly to penguin's men. As soon as you climb over the fence and see the first drop, you will get a call from Alfred telling him to start fixing the XE suit, but until then, keep looking for Penguin's dealer. Along the way, you will encounter a group of four thugs (two armed) robbing a bank, show them crime doesn't pay, then continue following the trail. Eventually you will find the trail leads to a group of five thugs (one Cryo-Gun, one knife). Take out the Cryo-gun enemy first, then the other four. After beating everyone a thug will surrender, interrogate him.

The thug will tell you Penguin went to GothCorp to get weapons as per his deal with Freeze, only problem is that GothCorp doesn't make weapons...strange. Anyway, you have the entry codes, so head toward the story marker at the GothCorp building.

Head to the green story marker that appeared after the confrontation with those thugs, it will land you right in front of the GothCorp headquarters, and there, standing guard will be four enemies (one Cryo-Gun, one Baseball Bat). Take out the thugs by the door, and then use the Cryptographic Sequencer to hack the security box keeping the door locked (Password: UNDERTHEWEATHER), then go through the newly unlocked door.

GothCorp Headquarters (Part 1)

As soon as you enter the lobby, a short scene will play showing the Penguin and Mr. Freeze shoving Boyle into another room, and Penguin telling his thug to come running if there is a problem, then you gain control of batman. As soon as you do, enter detective mode and run forward, analyze the frozen security guard in the north part of the room to add him to the map (Cop 11/20), then do the same for another guard on the western balcony (Cop 12/20). Look across to the other balcony and you will see three thugs (two armed), so glide over and hang on the ledge, and perform a ledge takedown on the two armed enemies. Take out the one unarmed one that is left, and then a conversation will begin with the security guard, who will tell you that you need to find his boss in the organic labs to get the codes for the door Penguin and Freeze went through. With this knowledge, jump down and go through the room's northern most door.

In this room there will be seven enemies (Two Armed, Two Cryo-Gun), but only two armed and one Cryo-Gun enemy will be near you. Perform a double takedown on the two armed enemies, then perform a beatdown on the remaining Cryo-Gun enemy. You will notice a large ice wall blocking your path, so look for a vent on the east wall, pry it open and crawl into it. You will notice the inside of this vent is circular, I just think that's kinda cool is all... anyway, perform a vent takedown on the enemy on the other side of the vent, then take out the Cryo-Gun thug along with the two remaining unarmed thugs on this side of the room. With that done, go through the room's north door, and enter the next predator room.

As soon as you enter the room, you will see the security guard's boss being interrogated by thugs, many, armed thugs, so, grapple up onto the nearest vantage point and check detective mode, you will see that it is jammed. Grapple two vantage points to the northwest and you will find the thug with the jammer pack on a catwalk near this vantage point, behind an armored sniper thug, jump down and silently take him down without alerting the sniper, with him down grapple up to the nearest vantage point and look around the room in detective mode, you will notice there are nine remaining armed thugs in the room. Next look for the other sniper, the unarmed one and you will see he is right under a vantage point, grapple above him, jump down when he is alone and silently take him down. Quickly grapple back up to the vantage point and another thug will walk up and probably see the snipers body, quickly jump behind him and silently take him out as well. Go to where the armed sniper is, jump down and get onto the ledge under him, then take him out with a ledge takedown, then quickly get back up onto the vantage points. At this point there will be six thugs left. Four of them will go to where the snipers body landed, and one will be walking toward where the sniper was on the catwalk, silently take out the lone thug on the catwalk near where the sniper was. At this point I was seen by the thugs because of an accident, so the information may not be perfectly accurate, I simply used my disruptor to take out two of the thug's weapons, then using the remote claw, string up two of the remaining armed thugs. Finally, perform an inverted takedown on the last armed thug as he goes under a vantage point, and just punch the two thugs whose guns don't work to clear this room. Before we talk to the security guard, there are two frozen guards here, so lets mark them on the map. The first is on a high balcony over the eastern door to this room, grapple up and analyze him (Cop 13/20), now jump down and use detective mode to look through the eastern door at the frozen guard inside, scan him because you can't analyze him, and he'll be added to the map (Cop 14/20). Now, go talk to the boss security guard, and he will give you the access codes that you need. Exit the room through the south door, the same way you came in.

Back in this room, head through the vent again and on the other side batman will call Alfred and ask about the XE suit. You will learn that it will not be ready for a while, so you must stay as you are. Or now, exit this room through the south door. Back in the lobby, there will be six enemies (One Armed, One Cryo-Gun, One knife) and one enemy on a higher balcony. Grapple up through a hole in the wall, as the doors have been frozen shut, and take out the five enemies on the ground. After they are down, two Cryo-Gun thugs will bust through the door, and then five unarmed thugs will jump down from the balconies, take them all down so you can get to Freeze. Once they're all KO'd, grapple up to the Eastern balcony and hack the door with your new codes (Password: PHILANTHROPY), then go through the newly unlocked doors.

In this hallway, you will see three thugs (one knife) saying Penguin is in trouble, beat them up and then follow the path into a side room until you see a trapdoor in the floor, enter it. You will be in a large rocket ship room with cryogenic liquid leaking everywhere, be careful as it can hurt you. Start by waiting for the gas in front of you to stop, then quickly slide under the wall and you will be sideling across a small ledge on your fingers, move right being careful of air being sprayed from above until you get to a point where you can grapple, do so and then climb up onto the ledge. Charge the power station near the rocket to open the door, then once inside jump down the hole to the bottom of the rocket, here you will see a vent, pull it off with the Batclaw and crawl through it. When you arrive on the other side, go through the north door. Walk forward and a cutscene will play. Walk around the room and then crawl into a floor grate to start another scene. During this scene, Freeze will make a wall of ice totally blocking your progress. Penguin will tell you that to break through the ice, you must first obtain a Cryo drill located at the My Alibi nightclub. Leave the room you are in through the north door in the room.

In this hallway, scan the security guard that you pass (Cop 15/20) and continue to the end of the hall. At the end you will see the floor has been flooded with Cryo-vapor and you have to use the remote claw to get across it, do so and then take out the four enemies (one Cryo-Gun) that are near the door. Take them out then charge the voltage box to stop the ceiling fan from spinning, allowing you to grapple up through it. Here, grapple up again and go through the vent on your right. You will see a frozen guard, analyze him (Cop 16/20) and continue through the door back into the organic labs. These labs will be filled with Cryo Vapor, take out the three enemies (two armed) and then you will be returned to right outside the building.

Drill, Cop and Anarky Hunting

As soon as you get outside, you will hear from Alfred that the XE suit is ready, and will be dropped at My Alibi. Follow the story marker leading there and you will have to defeat five enemies (Two Armed, One Cryo-Gun) before the XE suit will be delivered. Grapple to the roof of My Alibi and activate the drop container to get the XE suit.

Now that you have this, you will be able to free all of the cops located around the city that you have marked on your map, but first, head to the sight of the final Anarky riot that has just appeared, it is located in the Diamond District. When you arrive all you will see is a large truck with a speaker in it, Anarky will be speaking in a loud voice through them. Use the cryptographic sequencer to hack the panel on the truck (Password: REVOLUTION), this will cause the bombs to activate, the second detonator is located on a nearby roof, find it and deactivate it to silence Anarky for good. With that taken care of, you will now be able to use a new upgrade, quickfire thermal Batarangs. Now that you have done that, head into the My Alibi restaurant. When you arrive, a block of ice will cover the door, break through it with your new suit and enter the club.

Inside there will be six enemies (One Cryo-Gun, one martial artist), and three frozen cops. Start by going around the corner and check out the stalactite on the ceiling. You can use one of your new thermal Batarangs to send it crashing down on top of the thugs, and take some out right away. Do so, and then jump down and take out the remaining thugs in the room, then, free the two cops in this part of the club (Cop 17/20) (Cop 18/20). Then, use a thermal Batarang on the lock and then hack it to gain access to the back room. (Password: DISCRETION)In the back room you will see 'Loose Lips' interrogating a civilian who is frozen. Interrogate him to learn he split the drill into pieces and sold them, so now you have to go find them all, but first, free the cop in here. (Cop 19/20) Now leave the club and go to the new story marker that is where the first piece of the drill is.

When you arrive you will see five armed enemies on a roof guarding the drill. Time to take them out predator style. This is actually rather east, use the disruptor to take out the weapons of the two nearest enemies, and then take them out, drop a smoke pellet when the others get close and take them out in the smoke. With everyone out cold, grab the Cryo drill part and check your map for the next location.

This location is the parking garage of the Royal Hotel...again. Head there and when you arrive three enemies will come out (one shield, one knife). Take them out and then use one of your new thermal Batarangs to melt the ice around the button next to the door. This will allow you access to the inside where you will find seven thugs waiting (one Cryo-gun, three pipes). As soon as you enter, look up and notice a large icicle above three thugs, throw a Batarang at to knock it down and take three thugs out, then deal with the rest. After everyone is beaten, enter detective mode to notice the final Anarky tag here, scan it (Tag 12/12) for a thermal glove upgrade. Now get the drill part, with the drill finish, you will now be instructed to return to GothCorp and get a fuel source from Freeze's lab. Head to GothCorp.

GothCorp Headquarters (Part 2)

As soon as you enter there will be six enemies (One Cryo-gun, One Martial Artist) for you to beat, and then once they're down, ten more will appear (one Enforcer). Free the guards, then melt the ice blocking the way north and head into the northern room. In here, the wall of ice cannot be melted, so head for the vent, which has been frozen shut, so melt the vent, and on the other side you will see three enemies (one armed, one pipe) and a icicle. Knock the icicle down to take one enemy out, then take the others out and go through the door.

 In here, you will notice all the vantage points are frozen, throw Batarangs at them to thaw them, then grapple up and make your way to the  north end of the room. There, in detective mode, you will see wires going into the greenhouses. At the end of each wire is a frozen box, you must use remote control Batarangs to hit them both, in no particular order. Do so, and the reactor will stop spraying Cryo-vapor. You will be directed to a switch on a control panel, hit it with a Batarang unfreeze it, then hack it by standing on a greenhouse (Password: CRYOGENICS) to clear the room. Eight enemies will enter the room to be taken out predator style. Their movements are sporadic and change often, so I cannot offer an effective strategy for their defeat, simply takes them all out. Then exit the room via the east door, unfreeze the security guards here on the way.

 You will be in the security room, unfreeze the guard and crawl through the vent, on the other side knock the icicle down to take out three enemies, then pound the remaining two (one armed, One martial artist). Then continue along the path until you come to a door surrounded by vapor and three frozen buttons. Use Batarangs to hit all the buttons, drain the vapor and open the door.

A Cold, Cold Mystery

Welcome to Mr. Freeze's lab, in this room you will learn exactly who Freeze is and why he is doing what he is doing. Walk forward and you will see a dead guard on the ground, enter detective mode and scan the red triangle over the body, the next triangle is right next to the first. Break the ice and go into the lab room. Follow the trail in detective mode, using Batarangs to hit two more buttons on the way, until you re-enter crime scene mode. Scan the triangle at the end of the trail to see more of the crime, two more triangle are on hand prints on the nearby window, then the next on a lab station. The next triangle is on the reactor, scan it and then scan the dead frozen guard. Rewind the crime to where Freeze got hit, and then follow the gun and scan it to find the assailant was....spoiler alert, I'm not telling. Then scan the triangle next to the gun to see more. The final triangle is in the center of the room, scan it to learn Freeze's origins and find the fuel you need right in front of you. Now with that in hand and the mystery solved, leave the lab.

Endgame

Take a left outside the door and you will get a call from Alfred, and learn a sad truth. Now that you are inspired to find justice, unfreeze the guard and exit through the south door. Here, you will see six enemies (One Cryo-Gun, two knife, one shield). The Cryo-Gun enemy will be right under an icicle, take him out with the icicle and then beat the rest of them up. Approach the ice wall and press X to use the Cryo-drill, then head through the newly made hole, unfreeze the last guard (Cop 20/20) and then go through the door at the west end of the room. Follow the path to the end of the room, then climb up and slide through the vent, inside, continue following the path until you can bust out, and be in the room with Freeze and Boyle, a cutscene will play and then the battle will begin

Boss EX- Mr. Freeze

The main point of the first phase of the fight is to take out three thermal generators positioned on three platforms at different parts of the room. As soon as the fight begins, four armed enemies will enter the room, and they are extremely annoying. As soon as you can, grapple to a vantage point and look around the room for three generators. Find one that Freeze is not looking at, glide down and charge it like an electric generator until it is overloaded. Freeze will see you too late and fire at you, grapple to a vantage point and lose him. Repeat this one more time on the second generator, most of the thugs should be in the same place, so take out the generator they are farthest away from. The third tank is much harder, as freeze will constantly stare at it, so to take it out, make your way there as quickly as possible, and Freeze will still be looking around the room after you escape. Take the tank out quickly to move on to the next stage of the fight.

When the second phase starts, you will be totally frozen, so quickly break the ice, and then escape to a vantage point. This is extremely similar to the Arkham City fight now, you must perform silent takedowns and many other forms of fancy takedowns to damage Freeze, but the easiest way is to drop icicles on him. Whenever he stands under one of the many in the room, throw a Batarang at it to drop a lot of his health. Aside from that, simply take out the thugs around him and perform a silent takedown when you can, however this specific takedown you can only do once, as he will gain a shield behind him, but others like Zipline and grate takedowns will still work. Occasionally Freeze will call in more armed thugs, but simply deal with them as they become an issue. After you drop his health to Zero, a cutscene will play, and Freeze will run to his wife's container. There is a vent under the platform Freeze is on, crawl into it and then perform a takedown to end the fight.

After the fight, batman will be frozen again, when prompted to, break the ice and press triangle to perform a takedown. This will mark the true end to the battle, one final scene will play, the credits will roll and then the DLC will be truly over.  Thanks for reading this DLC guide.
