How to unlock the Gotham Protector achievement in Batman: Arkham Origins - Definitive Guide

This isn't necessarily a solution for the achievement as a whole, but a fix for those of you who were having the problem I was with not being able to get a crime in progress to spawn on the bridge for the last challenge in this category. (Stop a C.I.P. in each district.)

As long as you can get a c.i.p. to spawn in Sheldon park you are fine. It's the smallest district and always seems to have the same crime. A large group in front of wonder tower. Once you get this to show up, take out all the enemies EXCEPT the armored one. Now get him to follow you along the railing on the waters edge. It will turn to the right and end facing the bridge itself.

There is a spot on the wall to the left, if you are facing south, where there are some pipes coming out. There's a little nook between the railing and the pipes. When you are in this area you will notice it tells you that you're in the pioneer bridge district. This is where you want the armored guy you left alive from the crime to follow you. Once you get to where you want to be, the enemy will start to run away, back to Sheldon park. Just use your quick fire grappel and keep pulling him towards you. Once he is in the bridge district with you (I put him in that nook I mentioned) do a stun beat down on him. This will complete the c.i.p. and the game will register as you doing it in the bridge district, giving you credit for that area. If this is the last you need, as it was for me, it will complete the challenge for you. Achievement unlocked, and progress towards the "legend of the dark knight" achievement.

Edit: deexor informed me that the c.i.p. he got in the area involved ninjas. I haven't encountered that one, but for those of you who do, the ninja will dodge the grappling hook so the method deexor used was to jump behind her and use cape stun to push her into position before taking her down.

For those looking for a better way to get the CIP for the bidge. Just do all the other CIP then start the new game plus. When you get the City after the intro the first thing it told me was CIP on the bridge. Complete it right on the brigde no grapplig required.

I'd upvote but I'm playing on PC, so I can't... I got the ninja c.i.p. at Sheldon Park and it worked the same way. The last ninja will dodge all the grappling hook attacks, but you can jump behind her and cape stun her into the nook.

Thanks. I guess you were further into the story than I was or something cause I never saw a ninja c.i.p. before. But I'll add what you told me about it to the guide for those who get that one.

Thank you SO MUCH for this! Had to grapple him into the corner but it worked like a god damn charm!!!!! Also got my shadow vigilante rank 15 here for some reason. I got a combo multiplier of about 90 but only 10 variations.... weird.

Worked perfectly for me too. Be careful though, as there are sometimes other goons around with the crime in progress. Make sure you know which ones are which, as if you are left with some goons that aren't involved with the crime in progress, you'll screw it up!

Works great, did it with the ninja c.i.p. also. I also cleared the area before starting the c.i.p. Just a heads up for people there is a sniper on the right hand side of the wonder tower entrance. I highly recommend taking care of him before starting the c.i.p.

+1 from me!! I got lucky and got the cops vs. robbers (lol), dumb armored cop followed me to the "nook," started to run away, grappled him, jumped over him, did an ultra stun, and his butt, and the cheevo was mine!!!!!

Worked BEAUTIFULLY, thanks. For anyone having trouble getting a Sheldon Park crime to spawn, I found that this worked every time: fast travel to the Batcave, then fast travel back to the Industrial District and glide to Sheldon Park take out the snipers and the guys in front of the tower, then grapple to the highest point on the Gotham Light and Power building, and glide back to infront of the tower. Keep going back and forth between Light and Power and in front of the tower and you'll get one soon enough. I got the ninjas every time, but as deexor pointed out they work just as well.

@sgtglass, I was about to do that for my first run in NG+, thinking it would be ten times easier to just do, but I went into the Industrial District, after completing a crime from Sheldon Park, found a crime happening in that area, defeated all the enemies and unlocked the achievement.

I tried for hours to find where the Bridge fight would be and it never materialized. I googled an answer and found a GameFaqs thread that said to lure the Sheldon Park ninjas to a tiny nook where the Bridge area begins. All you need to do is defeat the ninjas in that nook (make sure it says Pioneers Bridge or it won't count).

This consists of 15 challenges which are:

1 - Perform a Straight 75 Meter Glide (Grapnel Accelerator Not Allowed)
Just use any rooftop and glide from there while pulling your left stick and you should get this one easily.

2 - Perform a Vertical Dive for Over 25 Meters
Find a tall building then glide and hold RT.

3 - Complete the Basic AR Glide Drills
4 easy challenges marked as exclamation mark on your map (You will get Grapnel Accelerator).

4 - Perform 1 Grapnel Accelerator Takedown
This one could be tricky. I did it in the mission where you use sewers to get to the police station and while in sewers you will see 2 guys in masks standing close to the edge of the platform so takedown both of them using Grapnel Accelerator to make sure you got this challenge done.

5 - Stop a Crime in Progress
Find and destroy :)

6 - Use the Smoke Pellet to Set Up a Takedown Opportunity
Use the smoke, move behind an enemy and silent takedown him.

7 - Perform a Straight 250 Meter Glide (Grapnel Accelerator Allowed)
If you have done Point to Point achievement than you can go to the bridge and just do the same again. If not, then it is good opportunity to do this challenge using Point to Point guide, so you will have both of them done.

8 - Reach The Top of the Soder Cola Building in Diamond District
This building is to next to the south part of the gotham pioneers bridge.

9 - Perform a Straight 150 Meter Glide (Grapnel Accelerator Not Allowed)
From the same building (Soder Cola) glide towards the open area near the bridge and you will get this easily.

10 - Complete the Intermediate AR Glide Drills
2 intermediate challenges which ask you to use RT to dive and pull Left Stick to pass checkpoints (You will get Shockwave Attack).

11 - Knock Down 3 Enemies with a Single Shockwave Attack
Use the shockwave attack in large group of enemies to knock them down (RT to dive and B once landed).

12 - Perform a Vertical Dive for Over 50 Meters
Find a tall building then glide and hold RT.

13 - Complete the Advanced AR Drills
2 advanced challenges.

14 - Glide for 25 Meters while Maintaining of Height of Less Than 5 Meters
Another tricky one. You can't use grapnel here because it will mostly take you over 5 meters above the ground, so I used south part of the brigde (because it goes downwards) and used diving-pulling method to glide.

15 - Stop a Crime in Progress in Each District
I belive this challenge is glitchy because I finished this without stopping any crimes neither on the Gotham Pioneers Bridge nor Sheldon Park. But I stopped crimes in the Bowery and Diamont District twice. Also, thanks to ThePaleHorseman, you can use that solution to finish this set of challenges.

Hope these small tips helps you and good luck!

I had the same issue - I went around for random areas until I stopped other crimes.

4 - Perform 1 Grapnel Accelerator Takedown
I used the area called the Final offer, where the penguin is. There is a sniper on the boat outside up high. If you come out of the doors to the ship you can grapple boost and get the takedown. I learned this after trying all over the city.

The Intermediate and Advanced AR Drills don't show up until you reach the rank. Not sure if that's the guys problem.

Yeah, his problem is that he hasn't reached the rank. Once you do reach the rank, they do show up on the map.

Great solution, I wish there was such an easy to follow guide for Shadow Vigilante.

12 - Perform a Vertical Dive for Over 50 Meters
From the top of the Soder Cola Building in Diamond District glide towards the river until you have cleared the building below you then press RT to dive. It doesn't matter if you land in the river.

15 - Stop a Crime in Progress in Each District
I got this after defeating Deathstroke on my first playthrough. After stopping a Crime in Progress in 8/9 districts I was unable to get a Crime in Progress to appear in Gotham Pioneers Bridge or one in Sheldon Park to lure towards Gotham Pioneers Bridge. However when I loaded the game the next day I got the achievement with the first Crime in Progress I stopped, in the Industrial District.

For #15 check out this video I just found:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uqFz8-DdrUM

I had the same problem with 8/9 districts. Followed the video and worked like a charm. To get one to show up all I did was keep circling the building next to where it appears.

If it doesn't unlock after doing the Bridge CIP, and you are sure you have them, stop one more CIP and it should unlock.

If you're still needing help via a more visual guide for this track, I'd recommend the following video below from Batman Arkham Videos. It breaks down all of the steps for each step in the track and gives a solid guide on completing them.

The crux of the 15th step (Stop a Crime In Progress in each district) can be carried over to a new save. If you have completed the Firefly battle or finished the main story, a C.I.P. will not happen naturally, you can go into New Game+ and then get the one that appears on the bridge there.

For anyone having trouble with challenge 4, an easy place to get this fairly early on is when you are going to investigate the crime scene at Lacey Towers. When you are approaching you will hear 2 cops talking and Batman will comment they are his way in. If you position yourself on a ledge angled below them you can do the accelerated grapple up to the ledge they are on and you will automatically do the take down. Just be careful that you are aiming for the ledge they are on and not the one right below it. Hope this helps. smile

The Gotham Protector track focuses around crimes in progress and gliding. The challenges must be completed in order and are not retroactive. Below are the Gotham Protector challenges. Also note that number 15 is extremely difficult to obtain after a certain part of the game due to one of the areas no longer stopping street crimes, but it carries over to NG+:

1. Perform a 75m glide (no grapnel accelerator)
2. Perform a 25m dive
3. Complete the 4 basic AR drills
4. Perform a Grapnel Accelerator Takedown
5. Stop a crime in progress
6. Use a Smoke Pellet to set up a takedown
7. Perform a 250m glide (including grapnel accelerator)
8. Reach the top of the Soder Cola building in Diamond District
9. Perform a 150m glide (no grapnel accelerator)
10. Complete the Intermediate AR Glide Drills
11. Knockdown 3 enemies with a single shockwave attack
12. Perform a 50m dive
13. Complete the advanced AR drills
14. Glide for 25m while maintaining a height less than 5m
15. Stop a Crime in Progress in each district

For assistance in any of these tracks, see the Dark Knight Challenges guide
