Like every game the harder difficulty’s can cause issues for some players. I suggest you play through the game at least once to learn all the movies and the general dynamics of the game. If you don’t feel like running through the game more than once start out on hard because these achievements do stack so playing through on Hard will unlock Easy and Normal. While playing through make sure you pick up and solve as many of the riddles as possible to help build your XP level. The more you build on your character the easier the game will be in the long run.

Make sure you pick up all these maps when you see them to save any hassle finding each item. There not hidden away but they will be on your patch or in plain view.
You won’t start out with these items as you acquire them while progressing through the games story mode but you will need the following upgrades to access all the challenge items, Explosive Gel, Batclaw, Thee Shot Batclaw, Cryptographic Sequencer (Distence Upgrade), and Zipline.

Keep your distance and make good use of your Batclaw and Batarang, keep evading and watch out for enemies which may attack you from behind. Also use some of the tips provided in the videos for “Freeflow Gold”, they may be for the extreme maps but they will give you some guidance on techniques for taking down enemies quickly.

On your path you will be taken to the underground sewers which you need to escape. Joker will force you to fight a horde of enemies as well as a single Titan.
