I've beaten the story 100% and have 63 stars, but two challenges just never showed up to even unlock. Is it a NG+ thing or am I missing a secret mystery way to unlock stuff?

If I recall Under the Pale Moonlight, you need to lure an enemy into a takedown using the Voice synthesizer. I believe I done this on a VR Challenge actually, Terminal Velocity

For City Heat It you need to use three different gadgets during one glide kick attack and for Under the Pale Moonlight you need to use the voice synthesizer to lure an enemy into a takedown. Try doing that to see if they unlock

I've done both of those things separately but nothing happens. They don't even show up as locked. They just aren't available on the AR Challenge selection wheel, like they forgot to show up or something.

That's weird, you need to pass chapter 7 before you can unlock them but if you've already done that then I'm not sure what the problem is

I've also encountered this issue with Pale Moonlight/City Heat TT. Sadly it appears to be an in-game glitch. I think mine appeared and then disappeared before I was able to unlock them, so I would recommend meeting the requirements as soon as they are available (or we can hope for a patch :D)

Had the same PM/CH issue - complete chapter 7 and it says they're now available to unlock, but then when performed the unlock (diving and using different weapons) nothing happened, and when I went to re-check they unlock conditions, the AR challenges had disappeared from the challenge screen.

To unlock David and Goliath you need to do 3 throw counters in one freeflow combo. Just find an area anywhere in the city with a group of enemies and do it there. You need to use cn_LSucn_Y to perform a throw counter.

@xThomsky4996x To unlock Terminal Velocity do the combat challenge - Gotham Knights (the one with Nightwing) On the third wave there is a brute, you can environmental takedown in the any corner.

Condamned is sadistic bullshit from the dev. Took me a fucking hour to get under a minute on that challenge. Finally got the achievement but that one and Slumdog Billionaire were definitely the worst, most punishing ones of them all. Fuck you, Rocksteady.

does this have to be the base games 69 stars? or can you skip hard ones and use dlc stars instead like some of the batmobile skin achievementS?

@RiseofMrBlonde2 You have to get 3 stars in all 23 of these specific challenges. DLC stars don't count.

@MISS DAYUM Thank you. I agree.

By Tucky90 on 19 Feb 2016 22:19
I did most of them, then used DLC to get to 69, then came back to these and finished them. It didn't unlock until I finished all 23 of these. Maybe it matters which DLC you use...I don't know. I believe was using the ones in the "Title Update" DLC.

Can confirm DLC does count towards this.

However, only 1 character per DLC can gain stars counted towards this achievement. You'll notice that each challenge has 1 characters name in white, and the rest in yellow. This only counts for the characters name in white.

I hope that makes sense?

Just an advice
As long as you play the AR challenge with the "vanilla" character/car, it counts for this achievment

^Bingo.

Each of the DLC challenges will have a default character/vehicle skin; its name will be in light bluetext when selecting the challenge. Earning stars using those characters/vehicle skins will count toward the original game's star related achievements.

If you earn stars using any other character/vehicle skin than the default, those will not count towards those achievements. These are displayed in yellow text.

The Season Pass is your friend with his one.

The Achievement requires you to get 69 stars, but it does NOT require them all to be from the original maps. I got this Achievement from several of the very easy DLC Batmobile race tracks. As long as you're playing the AR Challenge as the primary character, the stars will count toward your overall total.

Example; The 1989 Batmobile pack includes two one lap courses and two three lap courses. This Achievement popped for me after clearing one of the one lap courses when I was playing as the 1989 Batmobile because I was playing as the default character, in this case the default Batmobile.

Not only the race tracks, several of the combat challenge maps are of the hard to fail variety, one of Robin's maps is him fighting an infinite number of enemies, so as long as you don't die you have no time limit to get the score required for the three stars on that AR Challenge.

My advice is to not stress so much about any single map if it's giving you trouble. There's plenty more you can play.

This guide is purely for people who have had city heat TT and under the pale moonlight not unlock for them. First of don't panic! It happened to me and you can see I unlocked it.

SPOILER...


Spoiler...

it unlocks just after ivy dies, however its just AFTER the save point.. And if you die or game freezes before you get to next save point then it remains locked!
Option A. if its just happened and you realize it, log out, on your game save there is an option to load a previous save (2 last saved)
Option B. If you have played on since, like me you need to complete main game and load up NG+. Play through it nice and fast ignoring all side missions. Once ivy dies you will see save icon appear.. Then just after the AR challenges appear. Now get to your next save! opposite you should see/hear a murder you can investigate (creepy opera music) I would advise having Xbox not on 'instant on' too (cause of game freeze I've heard) Completely safe way of getting to a save point.
All 69 stars aren't too bad when you have tooled up bat mobile. (race/fight one is a fucker! and slumdog can be a pain) just follow the guide on here.

No worries.. warner bros forums were no use at all... I was really hoping I didn't need to redo save. Obviously you can get to any save after ivy dies, but walking/climbing to the murder scene means you wont come across any bad guys. just to reiterate option A it only allows you to load up a few previous saves rather than pick and choose saves right from the start.

As the trophy says, Get 69 stars in AR challenges.

Unlike previous Arkham games, the stars you get on DLC challenge maps do count for this trophy. So if you're having trouble getting 3 stars for a challenge, don't get caught up on it. Just make sure you also do the Scarecrow challenges and you'll have up to 9 challenges where you'll only need 2 stars, or up to 3 challenges which you can skip completely.

Just wanted to add that the Scarecrow missions in particular were not nearly as intimidating as I thought they might be. I managed three stars on all of them by over a minute on my first try for each.

AR Challenges are unlocked as your progress through the game, each challenge also has a unique unlock requirement. We advise that you check these unlock requirements as soon as a new AR challenge becomes available as some of them are quite specific and may not come up through casual play. It's also advisable to tackle these post game once Batman and the Batmobile are fully upgraded to make them a little easier. They can be accessed from the main menu to save you the trouble of flying all over the map to each location.

There are a total of 23 AR challenges and you will need to achieve 3 stars in all of them to unlock the achievement. The challenges are broken up into categories, shown below.

  • Batmobile Race - 5 challenges
  • Batmobile Combat - 4 challenges
  • Batmobile Combo - 6 challenges
  • Combat - 4 challenges
  • Predator - 4 challenges

After the release of a bunch of DLC, the number of stars became 138. Stars received in add-ons also count. So you can dial 69 without difficulty. Get it where you can.

You can complete tests directly from the initial menu, without having to search for tests all over the map. They need to be executed only on those machines that are selected by default. Otherwise they won't count it. (i.e., when selecting a car, the name should light up in white, not yellow)

The stars must be knocked out on the “default” character, as a rule, this is Batman. Alternate characters will be counted separately.
But an improvement point is given when you receive 3 stars for the first time on any character, but only 1 time for each test.

In the Batmobile racing challenges, if you're having trouble like I was, just switch to first person view , this way the car handles much better and skids less, I got 3 stars in tests the first time
