Most stressful, frustrating part in Batman: Arkham City...

I'm on the objective where I need to "Find the Joker with the serum and stop him from becoming immortal" but first things first, I need to break into the building where he's hiding, and holding Talia Al-Ghul captive. The problem is, he has a dozen of his scumbags standing on multiple buildings monitoring the entire vicinity and beyond with snipers, so it's impossible to find a way around them anywhere. My only strategy is to try and take them down one by one, but this is hardly even possible to do considering the fact that each time I take one of them down, it immediately draws all the other hostiles' attention and they all just begin unloading their snipers at me with full force, no matter how quietly or sneakily take one of them down. It's extremely difficult to escape their snipers' line of sight once they do begin pointing at me, and the smoke pellet is of little use since it takes far too long to recharge and eventually they see me after I leave the cloud of covering smoke.

Am I doing this right, by quietly trying to take down each thug one by one? Because it seriously isn't working out for me so far, and it's gotten to the point where I've nearly given up on it. I can say that this is definitely the most frustrating, difficult part of the game so far.

dude this is imo the most difficult part of the entire game, its the ONLY part i've ever died on.. the clayface fight *last boss* was nowhere near as hard as getting past this area... so i feel your pain, the way i always do it is i go around the buildings, take one or two out and stay on the ground sneaking to the destination, remember that once u get out of there vicinity your home free, try to make your way to the court house, far as i know thats where the snipers hit vicinity ends.

lol really, while it is one of the hard parts in the game, i went through it in one shot. those snipers it only makes sense to take em out one by one. what i did was, i took one of them out, then id go and hide or leave the area where i took the guy out. so when they are looking at the direction of where i knocked out the one of the guys, id be long gone to a different spot. rinse and repeat. like i said i did it in one shot. didnt die, now im not rubbing it in trying to say u suck, im just saying, theres always a way. that part u need to be as stealthy as possible, plain and simple. every time u take a guy out leave the area asap and then go to the next guy. hope this helps

I thought that part was nowhere near as hard as the Joker gang fight with the trains. :/

Same. The challenge maps are even harder. I'm still thinking of 'Top of the World' Extreme where your vision is jammed, and you have to catapult a guard into another one, as well as freezing three while trying not to be shot to ribbons. Ugh.

OP, just look for a sniper at the highest altitude the furthest away, sneak up behind him and silent takedown. At first, I couldn't get passed this part to save my life but then on New Game Plus, I found it a breeze. The gun jammer as someone else suggested really helps (too bad you can only use it twice).

i personally don't beleave the comments claiming its easy, sure thats just sh!t talking... in any event everyone is entitled to there opinion, gun jam idea is bs cause u only get 2 uses of it and well, there's about a dozen snipers, yea i tried that method as well first few times, joker train brawl wasn't easy but i learned the trick was to focus on taking out all low level thugs first, challange maps are irrelivent, have no clue why someone brung that up.. like i said the sniper ally is the one *only* part i died on a few times, try taking a few out then going around the buildings, always works for me..

Funny you say that, I'm stuck at this part yet I didn't think the Joker train fight was that bad at all...

I found this to be very easy. You just have to look at each sniper's line of fire and take down the snipers that aren't being watched by anyone so that nobody knows they're missing

UPDATE: Just finished the game. It wasn't hard to get through that objective once I properly figured out how and where to use the disruptor, and defeating Clayface was half the difficulty. This game was a bit shorter than I anticipated but at least there's plenty of side-missions and Catwoman extras to delve into.

and the best things of all! RIDDLER RIDDLES and CHALLENGE ROOMS!!! Those two things made a great game into a exceptional near masterpiece IMO

I took out the guys furthest away from the building and moved up closer to each thug and once all of them were out, I used the Distruptor on the last two thugs on ground level.GHO5T-

This ^

Just because you found it difficult, ShangTsung17, doesn't mean others didn't find it easy. It's not "#$%^ talking" as you so elegantly put it but merely common sense.

Yeah I actually thought that part was fairly easy.. Just disable some snipers with gun jammer and stick behind buildings and use the line launcher to get to good spots.MethodManFTW

It's not that difficult, you just simply go around the snipers and stay out of sight.

Look around, you can take them down from behind easily, no need for special tricks.

You do realize that theoritically if he is asking for help on the part BEFORE the boss fight, he probably hasn't made it to that fight and YOU just ruined the awesome twist for him?

Anyways. Start at the furthest guy and work your way in, slowly. Eventually it will pick up, and MAKE SURE you use the item that deactivates their guns!
