How To Beat Batman Arkham City's HARDEST Combat Challenge (The Joker's Carnival) 

You’re welcome bud! Thanks for letting me know, I’m glad you got it!

Awesome tutorial I was having trouble much appreciated ❤

pos?

Would you show that in a video, please?

Cool method. That's what I like about this challenge map, you can get to the end in a several different way. I used a similar method but instead of striking and evading I just got used to the tempo of the focused free flow state ( after a combo of x12, time slows a little and makes keeping a combo going much easier). I just stayed in the focused free flow state until the end, got the million shortly after x300.

@@JaceW22 _" I just got used to the tempo of the focused free flow state."_ Yup, the Arkham combat is almost like a rhythm game in some ways, once you get the tempo down, you can quite easily rack up super high combos with ease. I got my highest score on this map by repeatedly banking at level 5 for Sickle. After getting rid of the gun at level 4 and the shield that drops at level 5 with the disarm and destroy combo move, just whale on Sickle, using the bat swarm combo move whenever someone attacks. Sickle gives you like 50 hits in just a few seconds, plus you get 1 hit for _each_ enemy stunned by any of the bat swarms. You can quite quickly get some ridiculously high combos this way.

I tried this method, but always run out of time even though I'm banking at level 2 the minute it pops up, rinsing and repeating,but still nowhere close

You're not alone, I failed many times before beating the challenge. I'm glad my guide helped, congrats on the success!

@@DillahGaming bro it’s literally torturing me. I was so close, but then someone just hit me and then from there it was really hard. but I notice something that commonly messes me up as a bug where he literally hits the air, and it just starts to piss me off because it makes life harder.

I’m glad you feel that way, it’s what I’m here for!

Me too

@@DillahGaming how long does it take to bank automatically? I always notice when the timer goes in the red that it hasn't done it yet so I press it to prevent dying to the time. I have the ps4 return to arkham version if that makes a difference?

For real!! I've had perfect rounds where Ive been in a free flow combo since the first punch and the timer would always run out around when I'm at x300 even after getting to the last round and banking. I thought 1.3 mil was my physical limit and other guys must be superhuman or something getting higher than that, sometimes way higher. Damn this whole time the automatic bank gives +150 seconds and an automatic 1 mil, that's insane and I'm stupid.

​@@katt1206I'd like to know that too I'm guessing you have to have a perfect 220 combo by the time the Titan comes in, I believe you actually have to reach the invisible level in order for the million points

You’re very welcome! Glad to help

I tried this method, but always run out of time even though I'm banking at level 2 while keeping combo...rinsing and repeating

You’re welcome bro! I appreciate your comment

You’re welcome! Glad I could help!

What strategy did you use

Honestly I haven't played since that comment :D But I think it was somewhat like this: You don't let it come to Level 6. You purchase your Points on Level 5. Now that you start again on Level 1 it's pretty easy to raise your points fast if you are fokused on sickle. Level 5 also gives you enough time to raise the points to Level 5 again. Repeat this and after a couple time you get the 3 medals. I find it pretty hard to not lose combo on the Titan. And if you lose your combo on him it's taking too much time raising your points to a high level. @@skult227

​@@skult227 id like to know too

Hahaha the harder the challenge the more satisfying the victory

countering works fine for me, maybe your buttons are the issue? like if it's a ps4 controller your triangle button might have a delay, but a really could way to avoid having to do counters is to just jump over everyone because it cancels out all the counters coming at you

Very nice!

whoah your best score is 7,600,000! how did you get that much

@@JordanShackelford It was a few months ago, so my memory is slightly fuzzy. But I think my strategy was: 1. Keep it simple, no need for any fancy moves or combinations, just keep the combos going. 2. Don't 'cash in' points by yourself, the game will do so automatically after you are so far into round 6. Only 'cash in' points after round 6 when the timer starts running out. 3. This is obvious but, DO NOT GET HIT ONCE! (Okay, you can get hit, but AFTER you have completed round 6 to ensure that you get as many points as possible, but try to keep hits to a minimum.) 4. Deal with the more dangerous enemies first. If an enemy has a gun, or a titan appears etc. sort them out first, as they are the greatest threat. 5. Use combo moves to give yourself a little breathing room. If you are in a tricky situation or your combo is about to expire, use a takedown combo move on an enemy to keep it going. 6. I recommend using a strong character like Batman, he can take out enemies quickly, while catwoman, for example, is a weaker character, and takes slightly longer to defeat enemies (which can cause problems if you are surrounded). I hope these tips will help you (or anyone) with trying to get a highscore on Jokers carnival. edit note: My original post said that my high score was 7.6 million, it is actually 1.78 million. I have no idea why I originally put 7.6 million.

Trust me David, you’re not alone. I felt the exact same way when I was first trying to beat the challenge, but I persevered and not only did I beat it once, I beat it a handful of times. When the Joker says “just give up”, what does Batman precede to do? He beats him up until he’s unconscious and can’t speak. I know it’s brutal, but the moral of the story is never give up and eventually YOU WILL SUCCEED. Now go give it another shot, I believe in you David.

Do you want to share play and i could beat it for you I beaten it with Batman,cat woman, and robin currently trying to do it with night wing

I’m on ps5 my psn is U_know_the_ViBeZ

I took a screenshot of her in game and made it my wallpaper! She sure is a sight for sore eyes lol

oh okay i see, thanks again man :)

No problem man!

Glad I could be your good luck charm

just tried this challenge and got 4.2M, no devices, only takedowns on armored guys and guys with the shocker. This challenge is kinda easy if you keep fighting very fast

Thanks for the feedback! I’ve been meaning to make some more guides on the game and that sounds like a video I’d like to make!

Lol that reminds me of the famous Batman quote “Everything’s impossible until somebody does it”

You’ll get it eventually, I believe in you!

You’re welcome!

I'm skeptical, with is dumb because this advice looks obviously right, but okay, I'm going to do that.

No.

​@@livan_1306it didn't work?

@@havenosburn1302 no, and I gave up lol (I have everything completed, just not this shit)

You are correct!

Batswarm is the russian dude's kryptonite, when you're beating him down, as soon as you see the counter icon on some thug, use batswarm, keep beating down, when anyone attacks you, batswarm, rinse and repeat, pretty quick he'll go down, sometimes even without the end animation of batman jumping over him and knocking him out.

Yeah u gotta watch out for them. The key is to evade when they attack and hit them as soon as they finish attacking

@@DillahGaming Yeah, i passed the challenge as Batman, but i got stuck as catwoman bc she cant break shields, stun sticks and guns :(

Awesome, thank you!

Wait isn't the leaderboard down since the game isn't supported online anymore?

@Mr. Teflon no it's still there in the remaster

my solution has been to wait until his attack his over, by jumping over other enemies out of his way until he's done

Yeah shits impossible :(

@@evanmendoza4221 I once...ONCE got to the last round and got 2 medals since I made this comment. that’s it. I think I’m just giving up now

I have the same question

I think you do need to get all 3, but I’m not 100% certain

Hahahahah yeah that works too

@@DillahGaming honestly, its probably aimed for people who really like the game, cause they dive into the mechanics and then it only takes some practice. but for me, i struggled hard bur in the end i managed xD

Good question. I believe it’s knockouts that progress rounds, but combo that progresses levels. When you get to a high enough combo, your score will auto bank

@@DillahGaming is it a high enough score or high enough combo for it to bank on it's own?

@@RhinoNutts505 Your goal is to get 220 combos to auto bank. Best tip I got from a friend is to keep redirecting and attacking within the center of the group. Do not redirect off to the sides. It saves a ton of time and you’ll need every second of it.

I’d have to recheck the game to tell you the exact name, but there’s a combat perk that allows you to KO faster. I think it’s critical strikes but I’m not 100% sure

I see it too

Pretty sure his combo was x223

Your score probably wasn’t high enough yet. When your combo gets high enough the game will bank automatically.

The game autobanks when you fill the meter all the way to the top. If you notice there's a little arrow to the left of the level counter. It fills up as you punch people, and you can make it go past level 6 to the invisible level 7 (when it touches the top of the meter). Then it banks automatically and gives you the million points.

@@highlightermarca-texto3281 level 7?

You press A + X at the same time on Xbox, I’m not sure about play station through. But it’s the run button and the punch button

@@CaliSama Square and X

Yeah they’re tricky but with the right timing you can take em out easy!

Thank you so much

My RU-vid channel is called Caleb gaming

It’s hard, but not impossible. Keep trying and you will surely beat the challenge

Consistency is key and perseverance

Like Ra's Al Ghul said "You've been taught to fight 6 men, we can teach you to engage 600" have hope my friend I'm in the save position you are, don't give up

I was talking about trophies, but I did actually get all 213 after the video

I got 100% completion and it’s because this whole time all DLC never counted towards Stats, but now that I have 100% I’m still tryna get 213/213 for all characters

If you made it that far, you’ll definitely get 213 for everyone. I personally found the combat maps to be easy, but some of the predator ones to be a bit more challenging

@@DillahGaming yea. The Extreme predator maps r hard

@@DillahGaming I have 210/213 for Batman. I’m saving jokers carnival for last for all the characters
