Rescue the third hostage from Riddler

How to unlock the Puzzler achievement in Batman Arkham City - Definitive Guide

First in order to unlock the 3rd Riddler Hostage Mission You will need to find 160 of the Riddler Trophies. Thanks to LucidDreams84 for the Heads Up on that.

Next The Enigma Machine will pop up and the answer to this is "Penny" Rotate the gears so that you make the word penny and then you will get the location of the Third Hostage.

Once you get to the Building, first you will have to make your way across the frozen water The easiest way to do so is the Line Launcher though you can also use Freeze Blast. Once there you will see two Question Marks. above them are some Generators. Use an electrical charge to close the gate over top of the Question Marks one at a time stopping the waterfall in front of them then use a Remote Batarang to hit one and a simple Batarang for the other. Now Get out your line Launcher and Head to the Right. Use the Launcher to zip your way through the tunnel but halfway through you will need to switch directions to your right once again. Once through that... this next part is easy enough. There are Three Generators. Fire a Pull charge to the one on the right then immediately fire another Pull Charge to the Generator on the Left. Then Fire a "Push" charge at the same generator and then another "Push" charge to the one in the middle which should push the crate over the top of Pressure Plate... and there you have it. Hostage Rescued and 30G

On my next Play through of the game.. I will try to make a video. Gotta finish New Game + first

FYI it's much easier to just use the Launcher to get across the water instead of using the Glacier method (I haven't unlocked the gun if you can get it, so I haven't been able to even try it).

I never considered that.. I just automatically saw the water and the pullrings and immediately switched to Freeze Blast

A Negative vote.... really? I pretty much detailed how to solve it. If you are going to vote negatively.. say why you did so at least. The only thing I could have done better here was make a video which I don't have the hardware to do so right now.

I didn't vote... but I think a guide to finding the riddler trophies would be helpful. Or at least a link to one.

You can just go straight across with the launcher, since you don't get the gadget needed for the Glacier until further into the main story. It might be worth putting into a note in the solution since people may think you can't do it until you get the glacier gadget.

You will be able to rescue this hostage once you solve 160 riddles. See Genius for the Riddler Challenges guide. Go to the map location that appears after solving the Enigma Machine, break the question mark wall and enter.

This puzzle requires the line launcher, remote electrical charge and remote batarangs. Firstly, cross the body of water using the line launcher. The next part of the puzzle is to use the remote electrical charge to power an electromagnet, that will move a box above you. Move the box to block waterfalls and allow access to hit the switches ahead of you using the remote batarang.

In the next room, use the line launcher to pass through a turbine, then in mid-air, cross again through another turbine to your right.

The last room requires using the remote electrical charge to power an electromagnet. Use this electromagnet to move a box along a path, the end of which has a floor switch. Move the box onto the floor switch and rescue the hostage.

The hostage will give you new codes for your cryptographic sequencer. Use them, and solve 240 riddles for the next hostage (Intellectual).
