    Arkham West: Blow open the wall to exit. Collect any remaining Riddler Challenges (RCs) if desired, though this guide saves them for the next section. Be aware of plants blocking access to some areas. Deal with the sniper, loonies, and plants. Head north. The Abandoned Tunnel is an option, but you can also access the Joker Teeth from the east side.

    Arkham North: Eliminate the two snipers in the guard towers. Collect the two Joker Teeth in the west guard tower and the two by the door to the east area.
  3. 3
    Arkham East: Take out the two snipers in the guard towers. Proceed to the gardens. Collect the two Joker Teeth in the southern guard tower and the two on the steps to the gardens.
  4. 4
    Glasshouse Entrance: Navigate through the area filled with plants.
  5. 5
    Botanical Glasshouse: No significant events occur here.
  6. 6
    Flooded Corridor: Collect the final three Joker Teeth by your feet as you enter. Ivy will clear the wreckage. Use the line to cross and proceed through the corridor. Defeat the two entranced guards, then use the line to cross the gap to the northwest and enter the next area.

    Elizabeth Arkham Glasshouse - BOSS: TITAN IVY:

Stats / Weaknesses:

  • Ivy's main attacks involve slamming the ground, causing grass to spring up with dangerous creepers, and shooting spores from her arms when she rises to full height.
  • Throwing Batarangs at Ivy's pod damages her. Small damage is dealt when the pod is closed, but significant damage occurs when the pod opens.
  • The pod opens periodically while she fires spores, offering opportunities to hit her.
  • Ivy opens up three times per spore-firing phase.
  • Creepers are only dangerous the moment they spring up; they can be entered after they have finished sprouting, but this is not recommended.

Phases:

  1. Phase 1: Dodge Ivy's spore attacks and throw Batarangs at her pod when it opens. You can also throw Batarangs at the closed pod for minor damage. After draining her first health bar, a main bud will drop. Use Explosive Gel on the bud.
  2. Phase 2: Ivy will summon hypnotized goons. Punch them off the platform to eliminate them quickly. Once all goons are defeated, the spore attacks will resume, firing much faster. Dodge and hit the pod with Batarangs.
  3. Phase 3: Ivy will resume the creeper attack, and more goons will appear. Continue attacking the pod with Batarangs. Eventually, she will drop to the ground again, allowing you to use Explosive Gel on her.

Strategy:

  • Dodge the spore attacks by moving.
  • When Ivy's pod opens, quickly throw Batarangs at it.
  • During the creeper attack, avoid the grassy areas where creepers emerge.
  • In Phase 2 and 3, prioritize eliminating the hypnotized goons.
  • Keep attacking Ivy with Batarangs even when her pod is closed to inflict minor damage.
  • Use Explosive Gel on the main bud when it drops after draining a health bar.
