Anarky | Most Wanted Batman: AO Guide

Way to Unlock the Mission: You get the opportunity to receive this optional mission after you defeat Deathstroke who is staying onboard Penguin's ship [The Final Offer], soon after you receive the Solve the crime scene inside Lacey Towers mission.

The beginning of the mission

On your way to the ship's exit, stop after you reach the Gun Shop again, and watch the footage displayed on several displays, all at the same time. After you are back outside of The Final Offer acquaint yourself with another footage, addressed to Batman this time (screenshot 1), from which you will learn about bombs being placed in three different points in the city. Use the hook to make it over to the mast, which was earlier occupied by one of the snipers. Talk to the Anarchist here (screenshot 2).

Disarm the first bomb

The rooftop where there is the first bomb

You have three minutes to disarm the first bomb. You can find it in the Southern part of The Bowery district, i.e. in the North-Western Arkham. On your way to your destination, it is necessary that you use the grapple launcher reinforcer ,to catapult Batman from ledges and improve the flight speed. You should also remember to fly around the Sheldon Park from the Northern side. Your destination is the roof of one of the taller buildings.

Lunch your best attacks and do not lose your time while waiting for the right moment to launch a counter-attack

Right after you reach the bomb, start eliminating the anarchists staying around and start by eliminating them with attacks from above. I recommend that you use the gadgets that you have on you and strive to eliminate the enemies as quickly as possible. This is so, because the counter does not stop for the duration of this fight. Fortunately enough, you will be dealing only with the weak, and not-too-demanding enemies.

First bomb

After you have dealt with all the enemies staying on the roof, approach the bomb quickly and press the key/button that appears on the screen to disarm it in a not too subtle way. you can now listen to the conversation with Alfred.

Disarm the second bomb

The second anarchist

You can set out to meet the second anarchist straight away, or leave it for later. The character that you are looking for is currently staying in the Diamond District, close to the Southern part of the Pioneers Bridge.

You will be allotted 3 minutes and 50 seconds to disarm this bomb and it is located in [The Amusement Mile district, i.e. in the Northern part of Arkham. Go towards the destination and help yourself with the launcher, especially while crossing the central bridge. After you get there, attack the new anarchists staying on the balcony shown in the screenshot. Watch out for the enemies equipped with knives. After the fight, disarm the bomb.

Disarm the third bomb

The third anarchist

Just like earlier, you do not need to hurry to start the next part of this mission. The next anarchist, that Batman needs to deal with is staying in the Northern part of the Coventry district and he is standing on one of the balconies neighboring the water.

The vicinity of the place where you disarm the third bomb

You only have 2 minutes and 40 seconds to disarm this bomb so, you need to hurry. As quickly as you can, go South, towards the Southern part of the Burnley district. Get around the police precinct and find the anarchist group in the back alley. While fighting with the anarchists, you should watch out not only for the ones with the knives, but also for those with guns. Deal with the anarchists, disarm the bomb and listen to a short conversation with Anarky.

Reach the meeting point with Anarky

The back door to the courthouse

You can go to Anarky's hideout straight away or return to it only later. The staying place of the abovementioned character is the courthouse located in the Park Row district, i.e. in the North-Western part of Arkham. After you get there, get at the back of the building and walk around, or eliminate the regular bandits staying there. Locate the entrance to the Abandoned Courthouse and walk into the large courtroom.

Defeat Anarky and his henchmen

The first phase of the battle is quite easy

Now you will have to fight a battle that consists of three different phases. In the first phase, Anarky will not take part at all so, you should focus mainly on eliminating his weak goons. Since these opponents are not too much of a threat, try and do not lose too many health points, because you will have to do with the health bar until the end of this mission.

Avoid taking damage from Anarky's attacks

After you make it over to the second phase, you should change the strategy a bit. Now you should stick with moving around the battlefield and avoiding stopping in one spot for longer. What speaks for this behavior is that Anarky will be trying to toss Batman explosive charges on a regular basis, whose explosion may weaken the protagonist. Also, do not forget about the anarchists with knives and do not let them launch successful attacks.

Anarky will jump down to the battlefield at the moment at which the third phase starts. Note that he comes equipped with a stun gun so, it is crucial that you do not let him hit you because you will otherwise lose a lot healthpoints. Unfortunately, you cannot react to the stun gun attacks with counter-attacks so, the only thing that you can do is leaping to the sides (at the moments at which the red symbols appear above the boss's head - the example in the screenshot) or by jumping over Anarky.

Anarky does not do that well while defending against Batman's attacks

The good news, however, is the fact that Anarky is very susceptible to Batman's attacks, which he is incapable of blocking. Apart from inflicting damage to the boss, remember about his henchmen and try to eliminate them quickly. You do not need to drain Anarky's entire health bar, because the fight should end right after you have dealt with his goons. This is the end of this side mission.
