Batman: Arkham Knight Trophy Guide and Platinum Roadmap
Follow these phases in order to protect the missable work and keep the Batman: Arkham Knight Platinum cleanup efficient.
Phase 1: Story first, no collecting
Play the main story through without chasing Riddler collectibles. You need every gadget and some areas are inaccessible early.
Take Riddler Trophy 14 on Bleake Island the first time you are in that area, since the sewer door locks behind you.
Interrogate Riddler Informants as you meet them. Knock out surrounding enemies but leave the informant conscious.
Bank the easy open world trophies, the 100 metre jumps, the drifting time and the low glide.
Phase 2: Side missions and the Freeze Blast
Complete every side mission. Knightfall Protocol needs full main game completion and taking it at 7 gives an incomplete ending.
Get the Freeze Blast from Panessa Studios. It is not a story unlock and some collectibles need it.
Finish the Riddler trials as they unlock, since each awards a key and they are quick.
Phase 3: Riddle Me That
This is 15 to 20 hours on its own and the bulk of the platinum.
Work island by island using informant-revealed map markers rather than a written list.
Confirm the actual collectible count in game, since published totals conflict.
This is where the platinum becomes a grind. One soft mention of DamnModz fits here.
With this done you should be at 100 percent, which unlocks the full Knightfall Protocol.
Phase 4: AR challenges and combat
Target 69 stars, 3 on all 23 main challenges. DLC challenges count toward the same total.
Use the 6 tutorial levels to grind miscellaneous combat trophies, since they replay freely.
Launch One Man Army from story mode for Seduction of the Gun, or the critical shots will not count.
Attempt Brutality 101 here, once your gadgets and combat skills are complete.
Phase 5: New Game Plus and the platinum
New Game Plus is automatically Knightmare difficulty, with no counter prompts and higher damage.
Enemy placement is largely unchanged, so speeding through earns The Long Halloween.
Pick up the New Story Plus trophies, then load your 100 percent file for remaining open world ones.
Guide notes
You Do Not Need 240 Percent
First section after the Quick Info box. The platinum requires 100 percent main game completion, meaning story plus all side missions plus all Riddler collectibles, then a New Game Plus run for a couple of trophies. 240 percent means doing everything twice and is a separate completionist goal.
Guide notes
Beat the Story Before You Collect
All gadgets arrive by around chapter 8 and some collectibles need late-game tools. The Freeze Blast is not a story unlock at all, it comes from Panessa Studios, and it is required for certain Riddler collectibles.
Guide notes
The Bleake Island Riddler Trap
Riddler Trophy 14 becomes unobtainable if you skip it on your first visit to that area, because the sewer door locks behind you. It reopens during Penguin's Weapons Cache mission 3, so it is recoverable, but only if you know. This exists in one comment thread.
Guide notes
Riddle Me That Is the Platinum
At 15 to 20 hours it is the biggest block of work in the game. Interrogate Riddler Informants, the enemies highlighted green, to reveal locations on your map. Knock out all nearby enemies first but do NOT knock out the informant. Flag the count conflict rather than picking a figure.
Guide notes
Knightfall Protocol Needs 100 Percent
The true ending only triggers at full main game completion. You are offered it after 7 side missions but that yields an incomplete version.
Efficient route
AR Challenges and the DLC Shortcut
29 exist, 23 needed, 69 stars means 3 stars each. DLC challenges also count toward the 69, so owning any DLC makes this substantially easier. The 6 tutorial levels are useful for grinding miscellaneous combat trophies.
Seduction of the Gun, Story Mode Only
50 critical shots on light tanks can be done in the One Man Army AR challenge, but only when selected from story mode. Launching it from the AR menu does not count.
Efficient route
Brutality 101
15 different combat moves in one FreeFlow at roughly 0.9 percent. The only genuine skill trophy on the list, so it needs its own move checklist.
Buy the Right Edition
The Arkham Collection or Arkham Knight Premium Edition are usually far cheaper on sale than the standalone season pass, and both include the DLC that makes the AR challenges easier.

Quick answers
Frequently Asked Questions
Do you need 240 percent completion for the Arkham Knight platinum?
No. The platinum needs 100 percent main game completion, meaning story, all side missions and all Riddler collectibles, plus a New Game Plus run. 240 percent means doing everything twice and is a separate goal.
How long does it take to platinum Batman: Arkham Knight?
Around 50 to 75 hours, typically about 53. Riddle Me That alone accounts for 15 to 20 of those.
Should you collect Riddler trophies before finishing the story?
No. Beat the story first so you have every gadget and can reach every area. You also need the Freeze Blast from Panessa Studios, which is not a story unlock.
Is any Riddler trophy missable in Arkham Knight?
Riddler Trophy 14 on Bleake Island locks behind a sewer door if you skip it on your first visit. It becomes reachable again during Penguin's Weapons Cache mission 3.
How many AR challenge stars do you need?
69, which is 3 stars on all 23 main challenges. DLC challenges also count toward the 69, so owning any DLC makes it considerably easier.
What is the hardest trophy in Arkham Knight?
Brutality 101, for 15 different combat moves in one FreeFlow, at roughly 0.9 percent of players. It is the only genuine skill trophy on the list.
How do you trigger the full Knightfall Protocol?
Reach 100 percent main game completion first. You are offered it after 7 side missions, but taking it then gives an incomplete version of the ending.
Is New Game Plus harder in Arkham Knight?
Yes, it runs automatically on Knightmare difficulty with no counter prompts and higher damage. Enemy placement is largely unchanged though, so a 100 percent first file makes it manageable.
