If you need help getting past some of the tough boss battles in Batman: Arkham Asylum, here's what you need to know.

Boss Guide

I recently finished Batman: Arkham Asylum on the PS3 and must admit that it is one of the best games I’ve ever played on that system. I didn’t use any kind of cheat codes to finish the game, but instead just figured out how to get past each of the big bosses. You should take the time to go through some of the Challenges involving fighting, because learning how to get the most out of this game's somewhat unique fighting system will really help you get past the bosses a lot easier. Overall, I thought the game was a little on the easy side, but that didn’t make it any less fun to play and complete. Here’s how I did it.

This is your first big battle to give you a taste of what’s to come. The strategy that works here will be applied several times throughout the game, so pay attention. In this part, Bane will throw stuff at you or charge you. When he’s throwing an object, your only option is to jump out of the way. When he charges you, throw your batarang at him and then jump out of the way, then run up to him and start hitting. The batarang will stun him long enough for you to get in a few swings before he starts hitting back, so know when to back down. Watch for him to shake off the stun, then get out of his way.

The best strategy here is to keep your distance and let him come to you with the charge. Don’t even bother trying to hit him unless you stun with the batarang first. After several rounds of stun and punch, he will eventually go down. Remember to keep moving and stay away from his punches. As for the minor henchman that join the fight, you will need to take them out, but never let your focus come off Bane. If you get too distracted by the other henchman, Bane will charge or throw stuff at you.

Although you don’t actually fight her, the battle leading up to her capture can be pretty tough. The key here is to jump behind the guys carrying the electric sticks, because you can only hit them from behind. All the while you are fighting, you’ll need to avoid the electrical current flowing through the floor. Just watch the circular motion it moves in, and get out of the way when needed. This battle isn’t all that hard, but timing is critical.

Killer Croc

This one is easy since most of the time you’ll be running away. Be ready to throw your batarang and knock him into the water when he is running at you. The key to this part is to never stop moving, but be careful not to make too much noise or he’ll come after you. I made it through on the first try. At the end, just set off the explosives as soon as he walks over the opening and you’ve got him.
