Batman: Arkham Origins Blackgate platinum guide for PS Vita / PS3

Batman: Arkham Origins Blackgate

PS Vita / PS3

The boss order determines the final set of traps and which suit piece you can recover. Decide who goes last in the first run and continue from the completed save for later runs. Use the map to collect upgrades the first time, and save the best combat encounter for the hundred-hit combo.

Native PS Vita (2013) and PS3 Deluxe Edition (2014): 31 offline trophies in each list. Blackgate is a separate game from Arkham Origins.

  • Versions: Original Vita and PS3 Deluxe share 31 identical requirements in separate lists.
  • Suits: Use three boss routes with a different boss last, on the same progress.
  • Combat: Get the Shock Batarang before Grundy and handle the combo before leaving Administration.

Pick the last boss and collect upgrades

Leave Penguin for last on your first run, for example. Revisit the three sectors when a new gadget opens previously inaccessible doors or grips. Scan evidence in Detective Mode for cases: the marker alone does not complete a file. Track cases, armor, Gauntlets, RUSH, the gel upgrade and suit pieces separately so one 100% indicator cannot hide another incomplete category.

  • Write down your chosen last boss before entering the Arkham Wing.

Set up the hundred-hit combo in Administration

Use the large thug encounter on the way to the Shock Batarang in Administration. Enemies that need a beatdown build the hit count quickly. Pause to respond to attacks from the sides, evade the knife attacks and keep the room from emptying before you reach the target. If the chain breaks, restart the checkpoint before ending the encounter.

  • Confirm LEAGUE OF SHADOWS before leaving the section.

Lure Grundy over the water

Collect the Shock Batarang before going to the Industrial encounter. Identify the puddle in Detective Mode and position yourself so Grundy crosses it during a charge. Hit the water with the gadget while he is in it. Winning another way can end the fight without awarding the special trophy, so check right away.

  • Do not enter Grundy’s encounter without the electrical gadget.

Change the last boss on each restart

Follow the last boss’s trap sequence before finishing the story. After the fifth trap, physically pick up the suit piece: defusing a trap or saving a hostage does not collect it. Continue in the same slot using the restart that carries over suits, then leave Joker last on the second run and Black Mask on the third. Do not confuse a blank new game with your continuing progress.

  • Mark all five traps and the separate suit pickup for each route.

Finish each separate pickup category

With all gadgets available, revisit remaining markers and scan case rooms in Detective Mode. Joker teeth, Penguin cages and Black Mask masks have their own trophies even though they do not determine The Collector. Also verify that upgrades and suits show as collected in the continuing slot. Deluxe Edition revises the interface, so follow markers for the version you are playing.

  • If a trophy is still missing, compare its own collection category with the requirement.

Frequently asked questions

Do you need Arkham Origins multiplayer?

No. Blackgate has its own list, separate from Arkham Origins, and it is entirely single-player.

Can you get every suit in one run?

No. Some pieces depend on which boss is last; change the order while retaining your earned suits.

Do the two versions share a platinum?

No. Matching requirements do not mean a shared stack: Vita and PS3 Deluxe have separate lists.
