Batman arkham city rescuing the hostages of the mystery man. Guide to passing Riddler's tests in Batman: Arkham Knight

The Riddler's Revenge is the most difficult and lengthy test for the Dark Knight. This mission is one of most of the minor Wanted missions in Batman: Arkham Knight. In order to complete the missions, you must complete a series of tasks throughout Gotham. However, from the very beginning you will not be able to complete all of the Riddler's tasks, as different missions open at different stages of the main story. The tricky tracks and puzzles in which the Batmobile will directly take part will seem new to you. Riddler's goal, as always, is to make you solve a series of puzzles, take part in a series of challenges in order to collect all the trophies. Edward Nygma aka Riddler is a big pain in the ass of Bruce Wayne aka Batman.

P.S. Please note that we received all the riddles and their solutions in normal mode, this may differ from the New Game +

General information "The Riddler's Revenge"

Even after passing all of Riddler's tests, you will not be able to put him behind bars. In order to send him to Commissioner Gordon at the station, you will need to solve and search for all his trophies and riddles.
The goal is to cope with all the tests of Edward Nygma, which consist of a series of puzzles that can be solved, both with the help of the Batmobile and without it.
There is a bomb with 9 charges on Catwoman's neck; to save her you will need 9 keys. You will receive the keys only if you fulfill all the conditions in the Riddler's tasks.
As you complete missions, you will be able to control two characters: Batman and Catwoman
The Riddler's trials are divided into two parts:
1. Puzzles involving the Batmobile, after completing which you will tell Catwoman where the necessary key is.
2. Tests with Catwoman, here Selina Kyle comes under your control, with whom you will have to interact to solve a number of puzzles. At the end of each challenge you will receive a key.
For each successful completion of a challenge, you will receive a reward of 2 WayneTech points, as well as one achievement.

Several tests
Access the final Riddler puzzle on Miagani Island, which you will receive in the "Final Exam".

First meeting with Riddler on Blik Island

The first meeting with Nygma will take place on Blik Island as part of a short briefing on what else to expect from the closed Riddler Races. There you will be taught the basics of Batmobile behavior on specialized Riddler tracks.

After successful completion, you will be asked to leave, hinting at further continuation.

The Riddler's Revenge is Catwoman's first test.

After completing the training mission and getting to know the new, open world, you will find yourself in front of the bridge on Miagani Island. Access to him will become available during the passage. Once on the island you will receive message Riddler that he has something interesting to offer you at Pinckney's Shelter. We go to the place and find a tied up Catwoman, free her and enter into a fight with several robots. During the battle, you can switch characters in a single combo, it looks impressive and gives you the opportunity to play as Catwoman. We learn that the cat is wearing a booby-trapped collar that needs to be opened with certain keys. The Riddler will notify you of a new test that can't wait for you to arrive at the specified location.

The Riddler's second test takes place in an abandoned building underground east of Pinckney's Rest. Here you will be asked to go through a race, in the manner of the Briefing task, switch platforms, remove traps, and so on for 3 laps. The Riddler will then unlock a button that will activate the puzzle and allow Catwoman to take the key by using it on the collar. The screenshots show exactly where the key should be located.

Balanced Law - Riddler's Second Challenge

The test will take place in Chinatown in the northwestern part of Bleak Island. Everything here is quite simple and fast. To pass the test you need to get out of the car and press the button, then use the Batmobile remote control to complete a short test with platforms. Important: on the last jump, accelerate well with the afterburner, otherwise you will have to go all the way again. The second part of the task will be to supply electricity using the Batmobile's winch, the panel will light up and you will again be able to help the Cat take the next key.
