How to unlock the Silent Night, Deadly Night achievement in Batman: Arkham Knight - Definitive Guide
A knockout smash is hitting X in the middle of a Silent Takedown.
Like the achievement description says, don't take any damage.
The key to making this one easy is taking out the medics first. Once the medics are taken care of, you can take your time mopping up the remaining guys. There are 6 total enemies consisting of 3 medics and 3 regular thugs. The regular thugs have guns, so if spotted, be swift at getting away. If you see your health bar appear in the upper left, you've been hit and should restart.
Also, if you're having trouble getting all 3 medics down in quick succession, be aware that once a medic is revived, they lose the ability to revive anyone, so you won't have to prioritize a downed medic that has been revived.
The easiest way I found to down the 3 medics quickly was to grapnel to the vantage point in front of you, and then across the map to the office area, and jump down on the roof. From there, you can knockout smash the medic that walks out; quickly corner cover to the left of the doorway that leads out to the catwalk, and another medic will come to check on him. Knockout smash him, and quickly grapnel to the vantage point directly across from where you first started. This will position you to see the 3rd medic climb the ladder and head towards the office area; drop behind him and knockout smash him, quickly grapnell-ing from between 2 - 3 vantage points to get away. At this point you can mop up the remaining 3 how you see fit; however I found it easiest to drop down into the grates on the lowest level, and take out the patrolling thug there. Another thug will come and check on him, and you can easily take out the 5th guy. At the point the 6th guy should be terrified, and will have somewhat erratic movement and turn around often. Perch on a vantage point and when he gets close, drop behind and do the final knockout smash.
For those that prefer a video, please see below. All credit to the original poster:
This predator challenge will require you to take out every thug with a Knockout Smash (approach from behind, tap Y to perform Silent Takedown, then X to Knockout Smash) as Batman and Robin, all while never taking damage. If you accidentally get hit during the challenge, you must restart right away.
When doing this, take out all the Medic units first. This ensures unconscious thugs cannot be revived during your run. Additionally, gadgets can be used throughout the challenge. When playing as Batman, Smoke Pellets can help cover your attacks, the Voice Synthesizer can be used to isolate thugs, and the Disrupter can jam enemy firearms. Robin doesn't have any of these gadgets however, so more improvisation is required. While playing as either character, make use of Detective Vision in order to track your enemies.
Be sure to follow the video solution below! It demonstrates an easy-to-follow path in taking out all the thugs as both Batman and Robin extremely quickly.
I'll give you some advice about the doctors - you can knock them out at the very beginning. Each has 3 resuscitation packages, but these packages “burn out” if the owner is knocked out.
And so we just sit in cover, wait, knock out the first enemy , , and hide. and so on until they end
If you receive damage, restart the test
