The Perfect Crime side quest in Batman: Arkham Knight offers players one of the most chilling and detective-focused storylines in the entire game. Investigating a series of macabre murder scenes strung across Gotham City requires sharp observation and deep-tissue scanning techniques. By following key evidence clues and analyzing body anomalies, players can uncover the terrifying mastermind behind these gruesome displays.
Finding the Victims Across Gotham City
Players begin the quest after encountering the first mutilated body tied to a wall while eerie opera music plays in the background. There are six victims spread across Bleake Island, Miagani Island, and Founders' Island that must be located to advance the investigation. Each crime scene presents distinct environmental audio cues and spotlights that help players pinpoint their precise locations.
Analyzing Evidence with Deep Tissue Scans
Once a body is discovered, Batman must use his cowl's Deep Scan mode to examine three distinct layer levels. Players need to isolate specific anomalies across the skin, muscle, and bone layers to identify each victim. Identifying these clues helps cross-reference Gotham's missing persons database, gradually narrowing down who is responsible for the crimes.
Confronting Professor Pyg at Pretty Dolls Parlor
After gathering evidence from all six locations, Alfred traces the suspect to the Pretty Dolls Parlor in Ryker Heights. Inside this hidden operating room, Batman confronts the twisted villain Professor Pyg and his wave of mutilated Dollotrons. Defeating these mind-controlled minions and countering Pyg's thrown cleavers allows players to perform a final takedown and bring the villain to justice.
