Follow our comprehensive walkthrough for Batman: Arkham Knight's "A Chat with the Penguin" mission, detailing objectives, upgrades, and combat strategies.

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    Objective: Rendezvous with the Batwing
    Head to the main intersection of Grand Avenue on Miagani Island and park in the Batmobile indicator. You will receive an upgrade to the Batmobile’s Missile Barrage, increasing its lock-on capability to seven targets.
  2. 2
    Ambush by Drone Tanks
    Immediately after the upgrade, you will be ambushed by 16 Drone Tanks: 12 Rattlers, 3 Diamondbacks, and 1 Mamba. Prioritize shooting down the Mamba's missiles and use the upgraded Missile Barrage when available.
  3. 3
    Objective: Rendezvous with Nightwing
    Travel to the Ranelagh Ferry Terminal near Mercy Bridge in north-east Miagani Island. Reach the objective marker on the roof for a cut-scene where you receive the Disruptor gadget.
  4. 4
    Using the Disruptor
    The Disruptor has three default shots. Target enemy firearms to jam them with one shot, or cause them to backfire with two. You can also sabotage weapon crates to electrify them.
  5. 5
    Infiltration and Combat
    From the rooftop, you'll see a Brute and six Thugs. Use the Disruptor on two Armed Thugs and a Weapon Crate before dropping down to engage.
  6. 6
    Tracking the Van
    After defeating the enemies, approach the van, use the Disruptor to plant a tracking device, and interact with the door. Follow the van through the city from above, using grappling and gliding to stay out of sight. The van will lead you to a building east of Mercy Bridge on Miagani Island.
  7. 7
    Objective: Access the weapons cache and interrogate Penguin
    Secure the rooftop of the target building. This is a predator scenario with six armed Thugs and two Sentry Turrets.
  8. 8
    Rooftop Stealth Takedowns
    Utilize environmental factors: the ventilation area on the eastern side, vantage points near the radio antenna, cables, destructible walls, and corners. A suggested stealth sequence: disable the northeast Sentry Turret, deal with enemies near the ventilation, grapple to the upper platform for another Thug, disable the second Sentry Turret, and perform a Fear Multi-Takedown on the Thugs guarding the building entrance. If detected, retreat and adapt your strategy.
  9. 9
    Entering the Building
    Once the rooftop is clear, approach the building's rooftop entrance and interact with the hatch to proceed inside. You will find a large group of enemies in the room below. Locate a ventilation shaft to reach an underground passage.
Tips
  • Prioritize eliminating the Mamba's missiles during the Drone Tank ambush.
  • Use the Disruptor strategically to disable or eliminate armed enemies and sabotage weapon crates before engaging in direct combat.
  • In the rooftop predator section, use the environment to your advantage for stealth takedowns and to avoid detection.
  • If stealth fails on the rooftop, be prepared to engage in direct combat and use the available cover and vantage points.
