Prologue: City Of Fear 12405

Follow our step-by-step guide for the Prologue: City Of Fear 12405 in Batman: Arkham Knight. Learn how to start the game and progress through the initial diner and building sequences.

Alright, let's get this Arkham Knight adventure started! The very beginning is a bit of a button-mashing sequence. You'll see the Joker's face pop up on screen – just mash those directional buttons until the game decides you've done enough and moves on. Don't worry if you miss a few inputs, it's pretty forgiving here.

After that, you'll find yourself taking control of a police officer in a diner. Head up to the counter. Things are about to get interrupted, so just hang tight. Make your way to the far-left corner of the diner, over to the guy who looks like he's having a smoke. Get close to him and hit the interact button – a scene will play out.

Once you're back in control, you can have a little fun shooting some of the monsters running around if you fancy it. It's not mandatory, but it can be a good way to get a feel for the controls. This little scene will wrap up pretty quickly too.

Now, it's Batman time! You'll start on top of a tall building, and you'll see the Bat-Signal shining in the distance. Think of that as your main waypoint for now. You'll want to glide over to it, so get ready to practice your gliding skills and maybe use the Batclaw to help you along. When you finally reach the Bat-Signal, another bit of story will unfold, setting the stage for what's to come.
