Part 1: Batman's Investigation

1. Head towards the Steel Mill's Main Entrance. You'll encounter a large group of Harley's thugs. use your combat prowess to clear them out.
2. Once inside, navigate through the familiar corridors. Harley has set up new traps and security measures. Use your Detective Vision frequently to spot tripwires and armed enemies.
3. Your path will lead you to the Assembly Line area. Here, you'll find the first group of captured GCPD officers. They are being held in a pressure-sensitive cage.
4. Strategy: To free the officers, you'll need to disable the pressure plates. Look for a series of three pressure plates on the floor. You'll need to use your Remote Electrical Charge (REC) to activate a nearby generator, which will temporarily disable one plate. Then, quickly throw a Batarang at a switch to disable another, and finally, use a Line Launcher to cross and land on the third plate simultaneously. This requires precise timing.
5. After freeing the first group, continue deeper into the Steel Mill. You'll eventually reach the Smelting Chamber. Expect heavy resistance, including enemies with shields and stun batons.
6. Environmental Takedowns: The Smelting Chamber offers excellent opportunities for environmental takedowns. Look for steam pipes and unstable platforms to gain an advantage.
7. You'll discover a second group of officers in the Foundry. They are tied to a conveyor belt leading into a furnace. You'll need to quickly disarm a series of bombs attached to the belt using your Disruptor before they reach the furnace. There are three bombs, each requiring a quick disarm sequence.
Encountering Harley: After rescuing the officers, Batman will confront Harley Quinn in the Joker's Office. This is a narrative sequence, but be prepared for a quick combat encounter with her elite guards afterward.

Following Batman's capture, you'll switch to Robin. Your mission is to infiltrate Harley's stronghold, locate Batman, and rescue him.

Starting Point: Robin begins outside the Steel Mill, needing to find an alternative entry point.

2. Inside, Robin will face different challenges. His unique gadgets, like the Bullet Shield and Shuriken, are crucial.
3. Navigate through the Processing Area. You'll encounter enemies with firearms. Use your Bullet Shield to block incoming fire and close the distance for takedowns.
4. You'll reach a large room with multiple armed thugs and a sniper on a high perch. This is a predator encounter.
