In Batman: Arkham Knight, "The Perfect Crime" is one of the most intriguing Most Wanted side quests, tasking players with solving a series of gruesome murders across Gotham City. As Batman, players must track down opera music broadcasts to discover bodies left strung up in public locations. Solving this case requires careful investigation using the Deep Tissue Scanner to identify unique clues on each victim's body.
Investigating Bleake Island Victim Sites
The investigation begins on Bleake Island, where players encounter the first victim near the Merchant Bridge. Utilizing the Deep Tissue Scanner reveals distinct anatomical anomalies, such as a skin mutation and a deeply embedded object. A second body can be discovered near the docks on Bleake Island, requiring a scan of the victim's chest and hip to move the investigation forward.
Tracking Clues Across Miagani Island
Moving over to Miagani Island, two more victim sites become accessible as the main story progresses. One victim is discovered tied to a wall near the Grand Avenue station, where scanning reveals a prosthetic eye and an artificial joint. Fans following daily gaming news often point to these detailed forensics as a prime example of Rocksteady's atmospheric game design.
Uncovering the Final Victims on Founders Island
The last two victims are located on Founders Island, hidden among the urban decay and under-construction highways. One site near Ryker Heights yields clues regarding a spinal implant, while the final body near the docks leads Batman directly to the perpetrator. Each scan progressively unlocks more data, pinpointing the villain responsible for these twisted displays.
Confronting Professor Pyg at the Pretty Dolls Parlor
Once all six victims are thoroughly scanned, the clues point Batman toward the Pretty Dolls Parlor in Ryker Heights. Inside, Batman faces off against Professor Pyg and his horde of brainwashed Dollotrons in a chaotic boss battle. Defeating Pyg and destroying his operation concludes "The Perfect Crime" quest line, bringing justice to Gotham's victims.
