How to Earn The Man-Bat Family Achievement

Learn how to defeat 10 Man-Bats in Gotham Knights to earn The Man-Bat Family achievement. Find out when they spawn and where to look!

Alright, so you want to snag that 'Man-Bat Family' achievement in Gotham Knights? It's pretty straightforward: you just need to take down 10 Man-Bats scattered around Gotham City. Don't worry, they start showing up after you've made some good progress in the main story, specifically after Case File 7.2, which is pretty late in the game.

You'll actually fight a few of them as part of the main story, so you're already partway there. Here's the breakdown:

Mandatory Man-Bats:

• You'll fight one at the end of Case 7.2 - Talia al Ghul.
• During Case 8.1 - Dangerous Skies, you'll have to defeat three more: one on the Elliot Center, one on the Waynetech building, and a third on Gotham City General Hospital.
• And then there's another one waiting for you in Case 8.2 - The Lazarus Pit.

So, that's five Man-Bats you're guaranteed to encounter. The good news is that Case 8.1 introduces you to a bunch of their potential hangouts. After Case 7.2, these guys start spawning randomly on rooftops throughout Gotham.

Finding Random Man-Bats:

Keep in mind that these random spawns are just that – random. The main questline gives you five guaranteed encounters, but for the other five, you'll need to do some legwork. Man-Bats tend to favor tall, flat-topped buildings. If one is present, you'll notice black smoke billowing from the rooftop. It's not super obvious from a distance, so you'll likely need to be relatively close to a potential spawn point to spot it. Just hang out on the roof where you see the smoke, and a Man-Bat should show up after a bit.

Confirmed Random Spawn Locations:

• Elliot Center (Financial District)
• Gotham City General Hospital (West End)
• An unmarked building northeast of Foxteca (Otisburg)
• Waynetech (Southside)

Pro-Tip: Knock out the five story Man-Bats first. Then, in the post-game freeplay, just patrol around and check these spots. Don't jump into New Game+ before you get this achievement, or you'll have to play through the story again until Case 7.2 to get them to spawn!
