BOSSES
|
\_________________________________________________________________/
Here is what you've come for, the bosses. You need basic knowledge
of combat in this game but knowing you just reached a boss, you
probably know the important stuff.
###################################################################
#
PENGUIN
#
###################################################################
Penguin'll be standing in the center, firing at you with his freeze
gun occasionally. Tap SPACE in quick succession to dodge
the bullets/ice. Once you've come to face to face with him, get
your distruptor, and use it on his gun. Afterwards, if successful,
give him a nice uppercut so that he'll learn not to mess with
Batsy!
*cutscenes ensue*
...but wait, it's not over yet! Penguin'll let free the monster of the
month, Solomon Grundy. The solution is kind of obvious; you'll need to
wall before he gets there. Ready the gadget, and when the hud shows
"Hostiles: 1", detonate it. Get over to him before he recovers and do a
series of punches on him. After that, hide under one of the many grates.
He can't see you there; when he passes above you, use the grate takedown.
Punch him again. Now, when he can't see you, use the disruptor on his
gun to shock him. Strike him, again. Run away, and while he is tracking
your footsteps, sneak up behind him and perform a silent takedown. Punch
again. One hit left. Find the electric machine (?magnet?) in the room.
Use a remote electrical charge on it to stun Freeze, and do the punching
yet again. After his health bar is down, you'll be prompted to strike a
few more times. Do so, and this battle is over.

THE JOKER
#
###################################################################
I bet you were expecting this fight, sooner or later. Anyway!
Joker'll try to take on you by himself first... stun him, and beat
him down. Yes, that's as long as he lasted alone. Now, he'll bring
in a lot of thugs and it'll become a helluva fight! Don't focus on the
Joker, focus on the thugs instead. I really recommend you bought
Special Multi Combo Takedown from WayneTech, or this'll be a tough fight.
Of course I am not the freeflow expert, but you might be! Either way,
remember the Abramovci twins? The one armed thugs, you fought in Joker,
and Penguin's lair earlier on? One of them is back. Once a section
of the moron army is down, a Titan thug'll hop in the fight. In case
you don't remember how you defeated one in Penguin's lair, you need
to ultra stun them. That is, press the stun button thrice in quick
succession. After that punch him a few times and you can take him
for a ride. You can charge and create shockwaves while on his back.
Once the thugs are down. Stun Joker, and beat him down (again). That
was quite a starightforward fight, wasn't it? Anyway, the fight is
over. Next boss is the final, so SPOILER ALERT AHOY!
###################################################################
#
CLAYFACE
#
###################################################################
CLAYFACE? As a final boss? Seriously, Rocksteady? But let's get over
with it. Before we begin, I have to say, this is even easier than
Joker. Anyway! Clayface has more attacks than any else boss in this
game, I think. So I'll begin with listing them. In this phase, he'll
use: Alternating between left, and right punching; swiping the area
with a scythe like arm; jumping at you while swinging his arms, and
them turning into hammers; morphing into a ball and rolling at you.
While rolling, some weak walls'll explode when he bumps into them,
and deal a great amount of damage to him. But his main weakness, is
the freeze blast. That is all to the first phase; when his health bar
is empty, he'll turn into ice. Grab the sword from his back, and slash
him all you want.
Ding ding ding! Time for round twoooo! Now his attacks are; all the
above; spinning and releasing drops of harmful clay; rolling (With a
twist! He sometimes tries to fool you that he finished the attack,
but then rolls at you again.); forming his hands into hammers and
smashing them together high and low (if memory serves me right)
; and stabbing the ground with his scythe like arm. His weakness is
still the same, so is the slashing. But this time, you'll slash him
into pieces! But as expected, it's not over.
