Tracking the Dealer
After the attack, counter the gang member’s attempt to knock you out with his assault rifle. Use your fighting skills to neutralize Penguin’s men. This is an Arkham game, so be sure that your combat flows smoothly.
To retrieve your suit, move through the mansion towards your study. Enter the library and sneak up on the first gang member. Silently take him out, then take down the two men observing the necklace. Hide behind something and wait for a chance to knock out the patrolling gunman.
Move straight forward towards the wine cellar. Enter the rafters and drop down onto Penguin’s men. Fight the group, then locate the bronze statue of a man holding a barrel. Interact with it to open the entrance to the batcave.
Head down the secret tunnel and jump across the destroyed part of the cave. Hang onto the pillars and slowly move across the ledge. Climb up and enter the batcave. Locate the suit in the case on the upper floor and gear up.
Once you are well equipped, use the elevator to head back up to the manner. Use your suit to charge the mechanism near the locked door, then jump across the gap. Use your grapple to clear the gap if needed.
Move back up to the wine cellar and pry open the door to the fiery mansion. Use the underground tunnel to move under the gate, then neutralize the gang inside. Continue to the library using the vent near the burning entrance. Climb upwards and locate the ladder to the library.
Penguin’s men have hostages inside. Begin to silently reduce their numbers. Remember to use the environment to your advantage. Once the area is clear, assist the guests and pull the heavy crest away from the door.
Enter the Grand Hallway and protect Ferris Boyle from the gang of men. Take down the thugs and meet with Boyle and Freeze. Finish off his gang in the hallway and follow him.
Climb to the second story and locate the balcony. Jump down and begin fighting off the gang. Once the group is down to one man, interrogate him to find out where Freeze is headed. Next, catch a ride to South Gotham.
Drop into Coventry and follow the objective marker towards Penguin’s Dealer. Clear the rooftop and enter detective mode. Search for clues and reconstruct the crime. Once the evidence is acquired, follow the chemical trail.
Locate the dealer and knock out his men. Interrogate him and retrieve the entry codes. Make your way to Gothcorp and enter the building using the newly acquired information.

Gothcorp
Enter the lobby and clear the area to free the guard. Speak to him, then move towards the organics lab to retrieve the codes to the secured level. Neutralize the gang at the entrance, then enter the lab through the vents. Open the doors and locate the guard with the codes.
Take down all of the thugs in the organics lab while avoiding the sharpshooters. Once the area is clear, talk to the guard and retrieve the codes. Double back towards the lobby and neutralize all of Penguin’s men.
Head to the second story where the first guard was located. Open the nearby security door with the newly acquired codes. Take down the thugs in the hallway and move down the security hatch. Once you reach a steam-filled room, slide under the wall and move across the ledge. Avoid the steam and climb up on the other side.
Charge the mechanism near the ventilation system to open the access panel. Drop down the large vent and pull the panel off of the wall. Climb through and reach the door to the propellant lab. Locate Freeze and Penguin in the lab.
You will need the cryodrill to break through the ice barrier in the propellant lab. One of the thugs at the My Alibi nightclub has information about the drill. Exit through the security room using a tightrope in the center. Avoid the vapor and walk across the rope to the other side.
Drop down and fight the gang. Once the area is clear, charge the control unit to stop the large fan on the roof. Move to the upper levels and enter the organics research lab. Clear the area to save the guard, but be sure to avoid the vapor on the floor.
Exit Gothcorp and travel to the My Alibi nightclub. Clear the armed men outside of the club and wait for Alfred to drop the extreme environment suit. Reach the container and put on the new suit. Break through the ice and enter the club.
Use a batarang to knock the ice from the roof onto the thugs. Drop down and finish off the gang members. Locate the large door to the private room. Use a thermo-charged batarang to break the ice off of the lock, then hack the door.

Origins
The locations of the drill components will appear on your map. The first is located on a rooftop near the diamond district. Clear the roof and open the Gothcorp suitcase. The second component is inside of a frozen garage. Slide under the door and neutralize the thugs. Grab the final piece and head back to Gothcorp.
Begin searching for the cryocoolant located inside of Victor’s lab. Clear the lobby of hostiles and break the ice blocking the path to the organics lab. Inside of organics, use detective mode to locate the switches that will stop the lockdown. Follow the glowing wires and use a thermo-charged batarang to break the ice.
Stop the lockdown and locate the ventilation system. Hack the system and neutralize the rest of the hostiles in the organics lab. Locate the door that was unlocked after the lockdown. Continue until you reach Area 170. Use a thermo-charged batarang on each switch to clear the vapor, then head inside.
Enter detective mode and scan for evidence. Begin reconstructing the crime and follow the trace into Victor’s lab. Scan for more evidence when the trail ends. Be sure to investigate the entire area to reconstruct the full crime.
Investigate the reconstructed crime to locate the gun in the corner of the room. Identify the assailant and learn about the origins of Mr. Freeze. Pick up the super coolant and exit the area. Return to the propellant lab and clear the lab of thugs.
Use the cryodrill to break the ice, then move through the secured testing entry. Head up the ladder into the cryogenic testing facility and approach Mr. Freeze. Begin searching for the three cryogenic reactor control panels. Disable the reactors by charging the panels near the cryogenic tanks around the area. They can be easily spotted using detective mode.
Once all three reactors are disabled, start to take down Mr. Freeze. Use ice walls, vents, tight ropes, and corners to get the drop on him. It is recommended that you use various takedowns. Avoid Freeze’s attacks and the thugs in the area. If needed, use the ice formations on the roof to distract Freeze.
After a few takedowns, Nora will be in danger due to the failing cryogenic systems. Once Mr. Freeze tries to assist her, get below him using the vent and pull him through the ice. After taking him down, break out of your ice and stop Ferris from assaulting him. Take Ferris Boyle down and save Mr. Freeze.
