Batman Arkham Knight offers players a variety of engaging side missions that test the Dark Knight's investigative prowess alongside his combat skills. Among the most haunting storylines is The Perfect Crime, a Most Wanted case that task players with tracking down a series of meticulously displayed victims across Gotham City. Solving this macabre puzzle requires a keen eye and extensive use of Detective Mode to uncover the identity of the twisted mastermind behind it all.
Investigating the Initial Victims on Bleake Island
The dark investigation officially begins on Bleake Island, where players are directed to the very first gruesome scene. Located near the Merchant Bridge, this victim serves as the introductory tutorial for using the cowl's advanced deep tissue scanning technology. Players must scan three distinct layers of the body, including skin mutations and internal traits, to identify the deceased individual.
A second body is carefully hidden further within Bleake Island, positioned near the localized operational zones of the region. Tracking the distant, eerie opera music playing nearby is often the best sensory indicator that a crime scene is close. Once located, Batman must repeat the multi-layered scan to gather critical forensic clues linking these cases together.
Tracking Down the Clues Across Miagani Island
Moving over to Miagani Island, players will uncover two more victims strategically placed by the killer to taunt the authorities. The third victim is situated along the high structures near the middle of the island, requiring some vertical exploration to spot. Activating Detective Mode while gliding through the skies will help highlight the heat signature of the isolated body against the cold architecture.
The fourth victim can be discovered on a lower level path near the major shipping lanes and bridge connections of Miagani Island. Navigating this area safely ensures you can access the crime scene without alerting nearby roaming militia drones. Successfully completing the deep tissue scan on this individual provides the narrative momentum needed to track down the final set of coordinates.
Uncovering the Final Bodies on Founders Island
The final phase of the geographic search takes the Caped Crusader into the heavily fortified territory of Founders Island. The fifth victim is prominently displayed near the construction zones and unfinished high-rises that dominate this part of the city. Players must carefully navigate around heavy enemy patrols to reach the elevated platform where the body rests.
The sixth and final body is located toward the northern docks area of Founders Island, tucked away under the heavy structural overhangs. Finding this last individual completes the long trail of evidence and automatically unlocks the final location of the killer's secret hideout. With all six identities confirmed, the forensic data points directly to the sinister operating theater of Professor Pyg.
