The Most Wanted side mission titled The Perfect Crime in Batman: Arkham Knight presents one of the game's most gripping detective storylines. Players must travel across Gotham City's islands to discover mutilated bodies left displayed on walls, each accompanied by haunting opera music playing from a nearby radio. Solving this case requires scanning each victim using Deep Tissue Scanner mode to uncover three distinct biological markers before confronting the mastermind, Professor Pyg.
Finding the Victims on Bleake Island
The investigation begins on Bleake Island, where players encounter the first victim, Anthony Lund, strung up near the Merchant Bridge. Scanning this body requires isolating a specific skin defect, a bullet wound in the muscle tissue, and a unique bone structure in the skeleton. Discovering this initial site kicks off the broader search across Gotham's districts.
The second victim on Bleake Island is Franklin Accardo, located on a rooftop near the Dixon Dock West area. For players tracking mystery updates and walkthroughs, staying tuned to daily gaming news can provide additional tips for tackling complex open-world quests. Scanning Accardo requires identifying an ear deformity, a pacemaker in his chest cavity, and a prosthetic ring on his hip bone.
Locating the Bodies Across Miagani Island
Moving over to Miagani Island leads Batman to the third victim, Robert Kinsley, who is attached to the wall near the Grand Avenue Station. The forensic scanner must pinpoint a birthmark on his skin, a piece of shrapnel embedded in his lungs, and an old fracture in his knee joint. Completing this scan helps narrow down the victim profiles and connects their origins to the Pretty Pinner Doll Salon.
The fourth body belongs to Alison Wears, found hanging on the outer wall of a building near the Heavenly Garden in Miagani. Batman must switch scanner layers to detect a unique thigh tattoo, a damaged organ near her stomach, and an artificial shoulder replacement. Each clue reinforces the sinister surgical theme binding all the victims together.
Uncovering Founders Island Victims and Final Clues
Founders Island holds the final two crime scenes required to resolve the case. The fifth victim, Okane Hiroshi, is located on a high ledge overlooking the Ryker Heights district. The scanner must highlight a tumor on his arm skin, a missing organ, and a spinal fusion pin embedded deep in his vertebrae.
The sixth and final victim, Ella Montgomery, is found on a building wall near the docks of Port Adams. Scanning her remains requires uncovering a scar on her torso, a bullet fragment lodged near her ribs, and a titanium plate in her skull. Gathering all eighteen individual clues across the six bodies reveals the location of Professor Pyg's secret hideout.
Confronting Professor Pyg at the Pretty Pinner Doll Salon
With all investigation clues analyzed, Batman tracks Professor Pyg to his lair hidden within Ryker Heights. Inside the salon, players face off against Dollotrons—relentless minions who do not react to standard pain or damage. Defeating Pyg requires dodging his thrown cleavers and performing a decisive counter-environmental takedown on his operating table to put an end to his terrifying experiments.
