The Perfect Crime quest line in Batman: Arkham Knight offers players a compelling detective storyline centered around a sinister serial killer named Professor Pyg. Investigating these horrific crime scenes requires players to use Batman's Deep Tissue Scanner to identify key anatomical markers on each victim. Locating all six victims across Bleake Island, Miagani Island, and Founders' Island is essential for bringing the killer to justice and cleaning up the streets of Gotham.
Investigating Crime Scenes on Bleake Island
The first set of victims in The Perfect Crime side mission can be discovered scattered around the rooftops and alleyways of Bleake Island. As players approach a crime scene, distinct opera music plays in the background to indicate that a mutilated body is tied nearby. Utilizing the multi-layer scanner allows players to analyze skin, muscle, and bone tissue to uncover unique identifiers like artificial joints or internal implants.
Scanning these victims accurately provides critical clues that connect each body back to a missing person report in Gotham City's database. Finding the Bleake Island victims early in the campaign helps kickstart the broader investigation across the entire city. Players must carefully inspect each layer of evidence before moving on to the next location.
Locating Victims Across Miagani Island
Moving south toward Miagani Island reveals additional victims displayed prominently in public areas to taunt Batman. Each crime scene presents a unique anatomical puzzle, forcing players to inspect distinct layers of the victim's body to find hidden evidence. For instance, players might need to scan deep into a victim's bone structure to detect a old injury or surgical screw.
The opera music cues remain a crucial navigational tool when searching the urban landscape of Miagani Island. Identifying these victims unveils important lore behind Professor Pyg's twisted obsession with physical perfection. Completing these scans brings Batman one step closer to tracking the origin signal back to the culprit's hideout.
Uncovering the Final Victims on Founders' Island
The remaining bodies tied to The Perfect Crime are located in the industrial and high-rise districts of Founders' Island. These final investigation sites often require navigating around heavy enemy patrols or drone surveillance to access the crime scene safely. Once secured, scanning the final victim's remains synthesizes all gathered forensic data into a single tracking vector.
Analyzing these last anatomical anomalies confirms the identity of the final victim and pinpoint's Professor Pyg's lair. Players can then trace the signal to the Pretty Doll Parlor in Ryker Heights to confront the villain directly. Thoroughly investigating every site ensures Batman enters the final confrontation fully prepared for the boss fight ahead.
Confronting Professor Pyg at the Pretty Doll Parlor
With all six victims successfully scanned, Batman tracks the killer to his hidden operating theater inside Gotham City. Entering the lair triggers a showdown with Professor Pyg and his brainwashed Dollotrons, who are completely immune to standard pain attacks. Utilizing environmental takedowns and quick-fire gadgets is key to defeating the minions while avoiding Pyg's lethal knife throws.
Disabling the surgical table and apprehending Professor Pyg completes The Perfect Crime mission line permanently. Finishing this storyline grants substantial Gotham Most Wanted progress and rewards players with upgrade points. It stands as one of the most memorable detective experiences available in Batman's final interactive adventure.
