How to unlock the Perfect Freeflow 2.0 achievement in Batman: Return to Arkham - Arkham City - Definitive Guide

The number one most important thing to remember for "Perfect Freeflow 2.0" is to jump. Just constantly jump away or over enemies using cn_A+cn_A. Get in one strike at a time using cn_X in between each jump to build up your combo. Seriously. This will save you much time and grievance. You cannot get hit once during your attempt and jumping/evading is the best way to do it.

You should attempt this achievement in the Riddler Challenge "Survival of the Fittest", round 3 or 4. Use rounds 1 and 2 to PRACTICE.

Next, 12 moves (actually 13) in one combo sounds intimidating? Not at all. You've got the four singular letter buttons, that's one third of the moves right there:

1. Evade: cn_A+cn_A. Which you'll be using constantly, alternating with striking.

2. Strike: cn_X

3. Cape stun: cn_B. After a cape stun, make sure to jump/evade in the opposite direction so you don't accidentally perform an aerial attack and potentially get your combo ruined. Save the aerial attack when there's no other enemies close by.

4. Counter: cn_Y. Perform this when you see blue lightning bolts over an enemy's head. Don't rely on this too much. Do it once then remember the "jumping constantly" strategy.

Then, you'll knock out another third by just pairing the singular letters. My suggestion is to do the following four moves in the order listed below. Remember, the number in your combo must be yellow to perform the following:

5. Disarm (must be used on an enemy with a weapon): cn_X+cn_Y
6. Combo takedown: cn_B+cn_Y
7. Bat swarm: cn_A+cn_X
8. Multi ground takedown (must be used when one or more enemies are on the ground, stunned): cn_A+cn_B

There you go, two thirds of the moves have been done! Next are your wild card moves:

9. Aerial attack: cn_B+cn_A+cn_A (on the same enemy). For this one, make sure there are no enemies nearby that can attack you and ruin your combo.

10. Combo batarang: cn_LT+cn_LT (quickly). Honestly, you can do this one any time your combo number is yellow. It will not consume the yellow.

Next are the grand finale moves. Save these for when you have 2 or 3 enemies left. If you performed everything up to this point and still have too many enemies, use cn_B+cn_Y to get rid of a few goons. For these moves, you can relax on the jumping strategy and just stun enemies with cn_B instead to give you breathing room to perform:

11. Combo beatdown: cn_B+cn_Xcn_Xcn_Xcn_X (cn_X until the enemy is knocked out.)

Then, on the last enemy:

12. Ultra cape stun: cn_B+cn_B+cn_B

and when he's down after the ultra cape stun:

13. Ground takedown: cn_RT+cn_Y

If you use the Aerial Attack (B+A+A) on a goon that is wielding a shield then no one will interrupt you while you're doing it

Just to comment in case others have the same issue I had. I found several times that I didn't get it when I thought I did, but also noticed my combo counter was low at the end. After paying attention to the number, I realised it was the aerial attack that was always resetting my combo when using it, even though I wasn't getting hit. And so I had to start with that move. It's normally a bad idea, but I had no choice, and rest assured it can be done. Good luck.

Writing down the move list in order helps alot and also in-between jumps pause the game and work your way down the list. Took me 3 attempts it's really not hard. Goodluck 😊

Thank you so much for this guide. This was in my top five most stressful achievements of all time, but thanks to you I got it on my second attempt (after reading this guide that is). I kept trying to do it with all gadgets too… knowing you don’t need those is half the battle lol

Thanks for the guide! Got it done pretty quick with your combo order. I originally thought I had to do all gadget moves as well and got pretty close a couple times lol. Made it very simple without.

In any combat encounter where an enemy is carrying a weapon, or in the Riddler’s Revenge challenge maps, you can earn this trophy. You must use 13 different moves in the same combo in order for it to count. If you get hit once, you have to start over. The moves are as follows, note that you can do the moves in any order, not necessarily as listed:

  • Strike
  • Stun:
  • Evade Over Enemy:
  • Counter:
  • Special Combo: Takedown: +
  • Special Combo: Bat Swarm: +
  • Special Combo: Disarm And Destroy: +
  • Special Combo: Multi-Ground Takedown: +
  • Aerial Attack: , ,
  • Beat Down Finisher: , (repeatedly)
  • Ultimate Stun: , ,
  • Ground Pound: +
  • Any Quickfire Gadget (See below in Gadget Attack)

The best map to attempt this on is the Joker's Carnival DLC map, which you will have by default on PS4. The enemies in this map enter gradually, so you'll have plenty to complete this trophy without being swamped. If you do not have this, Survival of the Fittest (Extreme) on the final round is the best option.

The trophy will unlock as soon as you execute a combo with all 13 moves in it.
