Investigating the gruesome crime scenes scattered throughout Gotham City in Batman: Arkham Knight offers one of the most engaging detective experiences in the game. The "The Perfect Crime" side mission challenges players to track down mutilated bodies left pinned to structures by a mysterious killer known as Professor Pyg. Understanding where each victim is located and how to utilize the Deep Tissue Scanner effectively ensures you can solve this dark storyline efficiently.
Initial Victims on Bleake Island
The quest begins early in the campaign when Batman stumbles upon the first body hanging near the Merchant Bridge on Bleake Island. Operatic music plays loudly in the immediate vicinity, serving as an audio cue to alert players whenever a victim is nearby. Scanning this first victim requires analyzing three distinct layers: skin, muscle, and bone to reveal unique identifiers.
A second body on Bleake Island is situated near the Lighthouse district, attached to a high wall overlooking the water. Keeping up with daily gaming news can help players discover additional gameplay tips for mastering Batman's scanner tools. Isolating the specific anatomical anomalies like damaged organs or surgical implants is essential to confirming the victim's identity.
Tracking Crime Scenes Across Miagani Island
Moving south to Miagani Island reveals two more victims carefully displayed in prominent urban areas. The third body is located near the Grand Avenue intersection, tied to a wooden structure near a billboard. Each investigation step demands zooming into specific body parts until the scanner reaches full analysis clarity.
The fourth victim can be found on a rooftop near the Heavenly Garden sanctuary in the middle of Miagani Island. Players must carefully adjust the scanner's depth layer to detect hidden markers, including metallic knee replacements or unique bone fractures. Successfully completing these scans brings Alfred closer to cross-referencing Gotham's missing persons database.
Uncovering the Final Bodies on Founders' Island
Founders' Island contains the final two victims required to track down the mastermind behind the gruesome displays. The fifth body hangs from the side of a building near the docks, requiring precise grapple positioning to reach the platform. Analyzing this scene reveals critical evidence that links the murders directly to Pretty Doll Parlor.
The final victim is located near Ryker Heights, resting against a wall in a secluded alleyway. Once the final scan is complete, Oracle processes all data points to pinpoint the secret lair of Lazlo Valentin, also known as Professor Pyg. Completing all six investigations unlocks the final confrontation and closes the case file permanently.
Confronting Professor Pyg at the Pretty Doll Parlor
With every crime scene analyzed, Batman must travel to the subterranean Pretty Doll Parlor in the Otisburg district. Inside, players encounter Pyg alongside his brainwashed Dollotrons, who are completely immune to standard damage and require specialized takedowns. Defeating the minion waves while dodging Pyg's thrown cleavers is necessary to secure the room.
Executing an environmental takedown on the central operating table destroys Pyg's apparatus and neutralizes the villain. Rescuing the remaining captives and taking Pyg back to the GCPD lockup officially concludes The Perfect Crime mission. Completing this storyline rewards players with valuable Gotham City Most Wanted progress and upgraded WayneTech points.
