Leave Mr. Freeze in the cold

Mr. Freeze

Unlike the previous boss battle, the fight against Mr. Freeze is more about stealth than brute force. There are a number of ways you can tackle this fight:

1. Around the room there are many grates on the floor. You can use these to hide. Mr. Freeze will come looking for you as soon as the battle begins so jump into a grate to hide.

As he moves over the grate you can perform an underground takedown – just keep a lookout for the on-screen prompt as he walks over you.



2. Turn on Detective Mode and then use your Batclaw to hoist yourself up to one of the statues high above. You can use the Batcomputer to anaylse his weak spot and then leap down on top of him for an instant takedown.

3. Move around the room while crouching and use corner cover so he can't see you. Try and get behind Mr. Freeze so you can execute a stealth takedown.

4. Switch on Detective Mode and select your Remote Electric Charge. You'll see two areas on the map (a pool of water and a device above one of the doors) that you can charge with electricity. Wait for Mr. Freeze to walk past and then zap them to electrocute him.

If you need Mr. Freeze to move from a certain spot in the room - so you can get into a better position to attack - use your Batarang to smash the statues of Nora. He'll immediately head over to investigate. Wait for the cold shards that drop from his back before attacking, otherwise you'll concede some damage.

You need to execute five takedowns to send Mr. Freeze packing.
