How to unlock the Come Out of the Cold achievement in Batman: Arkham Origins - Definitive Guide

There are only two spots in the game where you can do Ice Wall takedowns. Both are in GothCorp,

First one is after you come back to GothCorp to visit Victor's Lab. You get a predator sequence in the Organics Lab and there are two ice walls you can use.

Third one can be performed during Mr. Freeze fight on his thugs after the room goes frozem.

So, because I don't spoil myself, I have to play this entire game over again for this stupid achievement? This game is such garbage.

Must admit, albeit a short DLC, it felt right, i felt compassion towards Fries, and thought it was a nice Origin for him, certainly not disappointed I have to play it again for a few achievements :-)

if you restart the checkpoint, your progress is lost.

I did this by getting all of the wall takedowns in the final battle. They don't accumulate though so you may need to restart from checkpoint

It's not the game's fault you missed the achievement. I missed it on my first playthrough and it's just another reason for me to play through it again because I actually enjoyed it. The main game itself is much better than people give it credit for and I've finished the other Arkham games.

Yeah, exactly. It's not the game's fault, it's your fault for missing out on it in the first place. I also missed out on it in my first playthrough, so it was just a matter of doing it all over again just to reach that point. It's not a long DLC, about an hour and a half if you go through the storyline very quickly. I do have a question though; can you, say, get two thugs down and then restart your checkpoint to get the third one in or do you have to get two thugs in the first room, followed by Freeze or a thug in the second room without restarting a checkpoint?

This achievement is for performing 3 Ice wall takedowns.

You will be able to start working on them once you acquire your XE suit and go back to GothCorp while following the story plot. The room in which you will have the possibility to perform 2 of the 3 takedowns is the Organic Labs.

The last one can be done in the room where you will encounter and fight Mr. Freeze. It can be done on the second stage of the fight, either on a thug or on Freezer himself. You can obviously perform all 3 of them in this room as the thugs keep on coming back if you take them all out.

I personally performed 2 in the Organic Lab and the last one on Freeze.

(This being my first solution, I am open to advices and suggestions..)

To put it simple: when the story demands you to go back to GothCorp is your first opportunity to work on this. There will be 2 weak iced walls to be used on the large iced room you have to stabilize, when the goons come in.

The final opportunity to get the remaining iced wall takedown (or takedownS) will be during your fight with Mr. Freeze. After the first part of the fight, when he comes down to the ground, there will be enough weak walls on the floor and more goons will come.

I did 2 takedowns in the organics research lab. The other solutions are great but I had huge problems getting enemies in front of the ice wall, too. The method I found the most effective was to jam the thugs guns after throwing a sonic batarang in front of an ice wall. This will prevent them from shooting your batarang and will make them approach the wall.

These are the steps I performed:

1. open the grid to the ventilation shaft next to the ladder (the one between both ice walls)

2. Throw a sonic batarang in front of an ice wall (I chose the, if you stand in front of the ventilation shaft, left wall)

3. Duck inside the opened ventilation shaft and wait for an enemy to come closer

4. Use the disruptor to jam his gun and let him approach the wall (After you jammed his gun head back to your position behind the wall)

5. Perform the takedown


After that proceed with the game and get the last one in the boss battle

This is meant as an addition to the other solutions. I hope it's helpful :-)

*Missable*

To unlock this trophy, you need to perform 3 ice wall takedowns. This trophy is missable because there are very limited opportunities to complete the requirements and it cannot be earned in free roam. There are 2 ice walls during the predator situation in the Organics Research Lab and at least 2 ice walls during the final boss fight. Also, performing ice wall takedowns on the final boss count towards the trophy, despite not actually knocking him out.

The earliest you can begin working on this achievement is when you revisit the GothCorp building with the XE Suit. At this time, your mission objective will read, "Use the Cryodrill on the ice barrier in the propellant lab." Once you enter the Organics Research Lab inside the GothCorp building, disable both of the switches inside the greenhouses and then hack the control pad in the center of the room to clear the cryovapor. After doing this, a group of about five armed goons will storm the room.

Now, on the bottom floor of this room, you will notice through your detective vision that there are two "ice walls," which are very similar to the "weakened wooden walls" from the main game. You're going to need to break the ice on one of the vents on the bottom floor to get behind the ice walls. Once you're in position, just wait unit a henchman walks near the wall, then tap  to perform an ice wall takedown. Make sure to get two ice wall takedowns done in this room. Throwing a sonic batarang in front of an ice wall will help lure the goons in as well.

As for the final takedown, you can perform it upon Mr. Freeze during the last fight of the DLC. This room has plenty of ice walls to utilize. Once you have successfully performed three ice wall takedowns, the achievement will unlock.

NOTE: 
This achievement is essentially missable if you do not perform the three ice wall takedowns between the Organics Research Lab and the final room with Mr. Freeze. There are no ice walls around Souther Gotham post-game to get this achievement done.
