How to unlock the Shock and Awe achievement in Batman: Arkham Knight - Definitive Guide

Hey Folks,

NOTE: My achievement popped when I completed Shark Bait, which would have been 26-stars for me. Since the same thing happened to my Catwoman and Nightwing achievement, I am going to assume that one (or more) of the previous challenges did not count for Azrael, except I went bottom to the top this time.... Please comment if you have the same issues.

For this Achievement, you need to earn 21 stars as Azrael, which is actually quite simple with all the AR challenges that Arkham Knight has to offer. You should be able to unlock this by doing the Combat or Predator Challenges. You do not need to 3-star the challenges, just accumulate 21 total stars.

Combat Reminder/Hint: Environmental Takedowns are a x100 multiplier, so use them if available on a high combo. Also, for getting a freeflow perfection(never breaking your combo) you will score your strike counter multiplied by 100 at the end of the round. (22 combo x 100 = 2200 bonus)

A Hint as Azrael:
-Azrael does have the destroy weapon ability, so use that to your advantage when fighting riot shields and stun batons. Picking up a baseball bat of the ground (cn_X+cn_A) will still allow you to wail on as many thugs as possible which I found very useful in the combat challenges.

You can play the following challenges to get 21 stars(my stars are in parentheses):

Combo
-Shark Bait (3 stars)
-Precinct (3 stars)
-High Interest (2 stars)
-Flying Grayson (make sure to use environmental takedowns) (3 stars)
-Feline Frenzy (The baseball bat is very helpful here) (3 Stars)
-Newton's Cradle (3 Stars)
-Teen Titan (3 Stars)
-Combo Master (3 Stars)
-Tower Defense
-Azrael's Atonement (3 Stars)

Predator
-Jailbreak
-Stage Fright
-Vertigo
-Sky High
-Financial Crash
-Deconstruction
-Smash and Grab
-Terminal Velocity
-Revive and Shine
-Under the Pale Moonlight

That's a total of 60 Stars, so play at your strengths, and don't stress out too much.

Happy Gaming!cn_guide

Note: Only 24 stars are available without buying DLC. Also, some of the achievements from the title update require DLC to unlock so bear that in mind if you care about completion percentage and aren't interested in buying the DLC.

Hey, i think the Azrael's Atonement doesnt count for the achievement probably because he's the main character for this challenge : )

See, I was thinking it is something like that. Each Azrael, Robin, Nightwing, and Robin all have a specific map, so that;s possible. I just couldn't figure out which one it is.

If you have the Premium Edition, then scoring 21 stars will not be very difficult. There are a total of 21 challenges in the Combat section in which you can play as Azrael. It is enough to score 1-2 stars in each to get a trophy. Set the difficulty to Hard right away (press L3 before starting the challenge), it gives extra points when performing a continuous combo, making it easier to gain points to get stars. If you're stuck with stars in the Combat section, try the Hit and Run challenge from the Predator section, where you need to take down 10 bank robbers in under 1:15 for 3 stars. Azrael, like Batman, also has a terrible decisive blow; in a few attempts it is quite possible to meet the 1:15 mark.
