How to unlock the The Monster Machine achievement in Batman: Arkham Knight - Definitive Guide

This is earned for completing the most wanted mission entitled "The Perfect Crime."

Throughout the game, you will receive reports of opera music being heard, which will pop up as the side mission. In the area where the music is being played, there will be a body strung up that Batman will need to identify. The louder the music gets, the closer the body will be.

The process of identification is a three-step process. Activate the evidence scan (cn_up), and you will have to go cycle through the three-different layers on the scanner (cn_LT and cn_RT). There will be a piece of evidence to find at each layer, somewhere on the body, and it is highlighted and stands out from the rest of the corpse. Once you find it, hold down cn_A to scan the piece. Once you have all three, you will have cleared that victim.

There are two victims on each of the three islands for a total of six victims. On Bleake Island, the first victim is already highlighted for you in the most wanted mission select. The second Bleake Island victim is located in the southwest corner of the map — if you zoom in on the map, it's just to the upper left of BLEAKE ISLAND. Looking at the map of Founder's Island, the first victim is to the right of the top of the airship. The second Founder's Island victim is on the east of the island, west of the long, skinny pier. The first Miagami Island victim is near the Miagami end of the Salvation Bridge, just northeast of the bridge's end on the map. The final victim is in the northern area of Miagami Island, on a building with smoke coming out of the roof.

Once you identify the final victim, Alfred will direct Batman to the killer's lair on Founder's Island. Without spoiling the identity of the killer, you will need to defeat about a dozen of his minions before being able to stop him and rescue the victims.

The problem with the minions is that they are impervious to pain — if you knock them down, they keep getting up. You will need to do a ground takedown on them (cn_LT + cn_Y) — even the combo takedown of cn_A + cn_B won't work — to put them down permanently. While you fight the minions, the serial killer will be throwing scalpels and knives at you — you can counter them as they come at you, and Batman will throw them back and stun the serial killer. Once all his minions are down, you can perform a takedown on the killer.

After freeing the victims in captivity, you can pick up the killer and take him to the GCPD lockup, popping the achievement.

EDIT: Some people reported trouble with the takedown not being the same as the on-screen prompt. I've included this info in case it's a glitch for others.

"You have to press X and A simultaneously while the object he's hiding behind is highlighted in blue. (For some reason the game is giving a useless and irritating clue to press LT and X, which does nothing useful)."

If anyone still wonders how to finally takedown Pyg: You have to press X and A simultaneously while the object he's hiding behind is highlighted in blue. (For some reason the game is giving a useless and irritating clue to press LT and X, which does nothing useful).

I'll add it to the solution as a glitch for some people, but the on-screen prompt worked for me when I beat him on the first try.

This achievement is earned for completing the "The Perfect Crime" Most Wanted Side Mission. Take note this will become available early in the game, but in order to progress with the mission, you'll need to carry on with the main story.

During this side mission, you'll be required to locate and analyze six different mutilated bodies that are hidden around Gotham City. There are spread out evenly between Bleake Island, Founder's Island, and Miagani Island (two bodies per island). After analyzing all the bodies, you'll then be required to head over to Ryker Heights on Founder's Island and infiltrate the serial killer's hideout. Here, you'll square off against the perpetrator and then bring them to the GCPD for lock-up, thus completing the side mission and unlocking the achievement.

At the end of the quest, when you apprehend the villain, you may feel that you are doing something wrong due to the fact that the villain is constantly moving away from you, and the enemies are constantly pushing you. Everything is as it should be, you just need to finish off enemies with decisive blows, otherwise they will constantly rise. Well, or don’t finish them off, but try to perform the “ABC of Massacre” on them.

When I defeated all the “minions”, I couldn’t kill this pig for a long time. He constantly ran around the table from me. I found out that you need to finish it off in the following way. Stun him with one of his knives. And immediately perform "Environmental takedown". On PS4 it's "X+(Square)". Maybe it will save someone time and nerves.

Nobody wrote, I’ll write here briefly and clearly
To get this achievement, saving firefighters, extinguishing fires, and rescuing a cat, you need to complete the story campaign at least 58 percent because due to the lack of lowered bridges, you will not be able to complete the task; you will need a car to write

I myself encountered this problem while trying to somehow lower the bridge, and this happens according to the plot.

Performing one “x” and then “square” will not give anything other than nerves and swearing, you need to catch the moment when the table and most likely the pig start to appear blue, only then you need to use these buttons, in principle, this combo technique is described in the guide, although I did everything as described, but I still couldn’t get the pig, for some reason these buttons appeared differently on the screen, that is, first “square” and then “x”, in total I spent four attempts on one pig, and I didn’t get mobs right away, I need them to finish off while lying down, when a pig throws knives, it is advisable to fight them off, and not go to the side, the “cockerels” also do not allow each other to be finished off, so you need to use a “triangle” counterattack, in general, jerking off with a pig will make you swear and be nervous.

The first point is given by the plot, and the others need to be looked for. To save the victim, all bridges must be lowered. Video
