Tracking down the theatrical serial killer in Batman: Arkham Knight requires players to utilize their finest forensic skills to solve the mystery of the mutilated bodies scattered across Gotham City. The Perfect Crime Most Wanted side mission challenges your investigative capabilities as you search for victims left behind by the sinister Professor Pyg. Finding every gruesome scene allows players to pinpoint the villain's hidden operating theater and bring his reign of terror to a definitive end.
Investigating the Bleake Island Victims
The dark crusade begins on Bleake Island, where players encounter the first disturbing displays left by the killer. One victim is hung near the bridge infrastructure, while another can be found close to the bustling docks. Investigating these sites allows Batman to activate his multi-layered deep tissue scanner to uncover unique birthmarks, surgical modifications, and internal scars that help identify the deceased. Finding these specific clues requires careful positioning and patience to scan all three anatomical layers properly.
Tracking Leads on Miagani Island
As the twisted puzzle expands, the investigation shifts toward the neon-lit streets and high-rise structures of Miagani Island. Two additional victims are hidden in this district, with one strapped to a wall near a prominent shipping facility and the other situated close to an old bar. Players must listen closely for operatic music drifting through the air, which serves as a brilliant audio cue indicating a nearby crime scene. Clearing out local militia forces first makes it significantly easier to examine these locations without interruption.
Scanning the Founders Island Scenes
The final pair of victims are located on Founders Island, hidden within the complex urban architecture and construction zones of the district. One body is placed near a large garbage truck terminal, while the final piece of the puzzle waits on a wall near a major highway underpass. Using the high-tech detective vision allows you to bypass the heavy security patrols and isolate the signature thermal signatures of the displays. Once the sixth victim is fully identified, Alfred will trace the medical patterns back to a central database.
Confronting Professor Pyg in the Parlor
Uncovering all six clues reveals the secret coordinates to the Pretty Dolls Parlor located in the Ryker Heights district. Stepping inside this operational hideout transitions the detective mission into an intense, rhythm-based combat encounter against Pyg and his resilient Dollotrons. These modified minions do not feel pain, requiring players to execute decisive ground takedowns to permanently incapacitate them. Defeating the mad surgeon and destroying his operating table completes the storyline, earning a major chunk of progress toward the true ending of the game.
