The Perfect Crime side quest in Batman Arkham Knight presents players with one of the game's most eerie investigation lines. Tracking down the victims requires keen exploration and careful use of the Deep Tissue Scanner on body crime scenes scattered across Gotham City. Completing this storyline reveals the sinister plot of Professor Pyg and unlocks a memorable boss encounter inside Pretty Doll Parlor.
Investigating Bleake Island Crime Scenes
The first victim, Anthony Lund, is located on Bleake Island near the Merchant Bridge. Listening for the distinct opera music playing in the background helps players pinpoint the exact location of the body tied to a wall. Scanning the skin, muscle, and bone layers unveils the victim's identity and provides crucial evidence for Alfred to analyze.
A second Bleake Island victim, Franklin Akers, can be discovered near the docks in the Ryker Heights district. Examining this scene thoroughly allows Batman to piece together the attacker's methodology and operational pattern. Each scan brings the Dark Knight closer to understanding the bizarre physical modifications performed on these unfortunate targets.
Locating the Targets on Miagani Island
Moving south to Miagani Island, players will find Robert Kincaid on top of a building near Heavenly White School. The haunting melody accompanying the scene signals another gruesome display left by the serial killer. Utilizing Batman's scanner on specific anomalous features reveals deep structural damage caused by precise surgical tools.
The second Miagani Island body belongs to Debra Jane, situated on a rooftop close to the Grand Avenue station area. Carefully identifying the unique markers on her remains unlocks further dialogue regarding Professor Pyg's twisted motivations. Gathering these clues establishes a clear trail leading toward the culprit's secret lair.
Uncovering the Victims on Founders Island
Founders Island contains the final set of crime scenes necessary to pinpoint the killer's base. Ella Montgomery is discovered hanging on a wall in the Ryker Heights border zone on Founders Island, prompting another multi-layered forensic scan. Analyzing her remains fills in the last missing data point regarding the victim profiles.
The final victim, Alison Wears, is located near the waterfront docks on Founders Island. Completing the scan on her body allows the Batcomputer to trace the acoustic frequency of the opera music directly to a specific facility. With all six victims identified, Batman receives the exact coordinates for the Pretty Doll Parlor.
Confronting Professor Pyg at Pretty Doll Parlor
Navigating to the Ryker Heights neighborhood leads Batman to the entrance of the Pretty Doll Parlor. Inside, players face Professor Pyg alongside his brainwashed minions, known as Dollotrons, who are completely immune to standard pain. Defeating Pyg requires tactical ground takedowns and environmental counters while dodging his dangerous thrown meat cleavers.
Once Professor Pyg is subdued, Batman rescues the remaining captives and secures the facility before transporting Pyg to the GCPD lockup. Successfully completing this side quest earns valuable upgrade points and progresses the Most Wanted campaign percentage toward full completion.
