How, oh how, do you get the 40 Freeflow Trophy? I cannot do it!

you need a room with a lot of enemies (I got it against 10). and combo upgrades unlocked (preferably all, but the batarang combo I found useless).

you need to time your button presses, don't smash the buttons, as when you press a button when you shouldn't, you end up knocked by an enemy or punching air and ending your combo.

start with a normal 3 hit combo, you should end up knocking a guy down after it, then immediately do the following:

- If and enemy is closing in to strike (spidey sense tingling) use the counter attack button (360=Y), then...

-Press the attack button while moving the analog stick in the desired direction (if a grunt is to the left, move the stick left while you press the attack button). Press "attack" only once, you will usually knocked him down, and if you press the attack button while the guy is down you may end up punching air and losing the combo. (If the guy isn't down, you could hit him again at least once more, tops two, and then you have to jump from enemy to enemy)

-after knocking the guy down (be it with a well placed punch or counter, getting a 6x combo) you should be able to use the special moves (Y+B or X+A). the game prompts you to do so. use it right away, whichever one you can, but press the two button at once only once, again don't smash the button, after performing the action, push the attack button again while directing batman to where the next grunt is. and then perform another special move...

rinse and repeat

Always be aware of an enemy trying to strike to counter it, but be careful not to press the counter button rapidly, and don't press it when you are a bit away from the enemy, as you should be able to continue punching other guys and his strike won't connect... or at other times you will lose your combo by pressing Y when there's no one around to counter.

try to move the camera around so you can see where the next enemy to hit is. don't be afraid to hit the enemy when he's far away, as long as you press the attack button ONCE while redirecting the stick to where the grunt is, batman will do a roll or some other move to get to where the enemy is, the punch will connect and count towards your combo counter... and you can continue to attack others around.

the X+A move is most useful since you can change the direction your facing, so you can continue to attack, use it as often as you can, after it an attack will count as 2x

be patient, don't panic and press in the right time 😄

In the Rumble in the Jungle challenge you'll have more than enough chance to apply all this and get the achievement.

I really just hope it's not re-releasing for free the content in the Collector's Edition. This soon, that'd just be wrong.

Yeah... It would be.

And lol @ the first comment on there.

Here are the maps.

I've beaten the game on easy and normal mode. I'll try for hard sometime this weekend.

The game is almost flawless. The only smear is the lame, and terrible, final fight. So much potential gone to waste, in my opinion.

I think most bosses are kinda of lame.

The only won I liked was Bane and Scarecrow but I didn't like how they repeated the Bane fight alot more times.

I agree. The Bane fight was good, but the same fights later on? Lame.

My favorite boss fight is still Scarecrow. All three of them, to be precise.

Croc was lame, too, because all you have to do is just throw Batarangs until he goes down X number of times.

Joker was the biggest letdown.

Yeah, true.

Even Poisen Evy, which switched things up was kinda of dumb too. Reminded me of the Salazar fight in RE4 aka, watch out for tentacles and then wait for the protective sphere to open up and spam the batarang.

It seemed to me that all the boss fights were ridiculous easy and they had to increase the difficulty level by spamming thugs every so often. I hate when boss fights happen like that. Reason why RE4 rock so hard? No bloody guys to fight and they are unique.

I actually like the boss battles, not much Croc, but at least they weren't ridiculously overpowered beasts, they are easy, because it's freaking Batman, so getting to spawn a bunch of goons to help them sounds reasonable to me, after all, not all of them have superpowers.

Even though it might fall into the category of being a Batman game, I just found it annoying.

I don't mind a boss battle spawning goons like the Harley Quinn "boss" fight, but why does the Joker, Poisen Ivy, and Scarecrow need them?

Duly noted.

It's somewhat rare for the Joker to get his own hands dirty; he's always happy to throw his thugs at Batman. Especially so here, as he's showboating for Gotham and wants a spectacle.

Poison Ivy uses goons in the second stage, so that could easily be her realizing what she's doing isn't working, so she's going to use her pheremonally-enslaved "boyfriends" to soften Batman up.

As for Scarecrow... his sequences are all in Batman's mind. When Scarecrow ups the dosage of fear serum, Batman rationalizes it as an army of skeletons.

Even though it might make sense story wise doesn't mean I won't be bored and annoyed.

I was fine with those bosses (for the most part), but I kinda wish now that you got to fight Harley hand-to-hand in the game 😛 (cut-scene aside).

*looks at some of the earlier posts in this thread again out of boredom*

Looking back, I actually think that would've been better than fighting those plant/pod things of Ivy's. 😐 Got annoying after awhile, a lot more than those crazed inmates.

I can only hope that the Freeze we get is TAS-caliber, not Arnold's style of rot.

Ta da?
