Overview

  • Total achievements: 61
  • Missable achievements: 0
  • Minimum number of playthroughs: 2
  • Estimated time to get 100%: 50-70 hours
  • Achievements with difficulty levels: No

Any specific item/achievement can be found by using CTRL+F to search what you are looking for.

Note
  • You can use any single character to do full achievements. But if you want to unlock all suit and motor colorways, you need to change characters and complete relevant challenges and time trials.
  • You are free to explore the world and continue to collect the collectibles and do the rest of the quests after completion of the main storyline.
  • When you start New Game+, all the challenges and side quests will be reset. Make sure you complete side quests (and showdowns), time trials, secret caches, secret identity missions in one playthrough. The collectibles and defeated enemy counts will not be reset, so you can do the related achievements in your NG+.
  • With the recent major update, you can get high power gears (up to lvl 60 in Starro and lvl 80 in Kevin Incident) from heroic assault to make your battle easier.

It is recommended to do these achievements at the end of NG+ (if you are doing full achievements; if not then at the end of your playthrough) because you can encounter lots of required enemy types when doing main quests and several enemy types will only appear after completing main case files .

[update] These achievements should become easier to get due to the update of heroic assault as you can choose any faction floor to encounter certain enemy type.

To find specific types of enemies, you can check the faction presence in each district to clear random-generated white triangle marks or fight corresponding premeditated crimes.

9. Heroic Assault I - Starro (1)
Heroic Assault Mode is not available right after you start the game. Instead, the 4-player co-op game mode gets unlocked when you access Case File 05 in the main campaign. After completing the corresponding mission, go back to the main menu. Heroic Assault mode is accessible through the main menu.

This mode drops new mod types, such as Elemental Shell and Element Resistance mods as well as new melee/ranged mods with Damage and Critical Chance buffs. To be honest, this mode is very repetitive and some of floors requires multitasking, which may be challenging for solo players. If you want to clear it fast, you can simply put the game on very easy difficulty.

Gotham's Greatest Depths
Complete 30 floors and banish the cosmic threat in Heroic Assault
10. Heroic Assault II - Kelvin Incident (6)
The Kelvin Incident is now available in the update on Apr 27 2023. This is a new 15 floor raid available in new game plus or after unlocking the raid area and defeating all the side villain missions.

Highly recommended to play on Very Easy difficulty for solo players. I feel it very annoying and difficult to solo even at Very Easy...

Rewards from the raid:
  • Mythic gear (Lv.60-Lv.80) (A new tier of stronger gear which only drops in the raid)
  • Stronger modchips (Lv.60-Lv.80)
  • New material
  • A new suit transmog
  • 4 new batcycle transmogs

Mission-related (3)
By completing Floor 5, 10, and 15, you will get these 3 mission-related achievements.
Floor 5: Defeat Mr. Freeze and Harley Quinn.
Floor 10: Defeat Mr. Freeze and Clayface.
Floor 15: Defeat Harley Quinn, Mr. Freeze, and Clayface.

Hammer and Icicle
Defeat Mr. Freeze and his unexpected allies at Blackgate Penitentiary.
Crime Is a Terrible Thing to Waste
Surf the sewers and sabotage Clayface's masterpiece.
The Cold, the Bad and the Ugly
Stop Harley Quinn's spectacular stage at S.T.A.R Labs.


Combat-related (3)

Its Nice to Be Wanted
Defeat each of Gotham's Most Wanted present during the KELVIN incident.

You will encounter all of Gotham's Most Wanted when completing the floors. I got the achievement during Floor 14.

These are the floors where they are present in case you don't get the achievement naturally.

Thank @Hasco and @Escrypha for providing the info!
  • Floor 01 (Room 2: Sickone, Arnold the Icicle, the Hugger)
  • Floor 03 (Room 3: Gabby the snowstorm, Polar Patterson, Heretic)
  • Floor 07 (Room 2: Aiko Iwata, Samuel freezing point russell, Pyotr Sidorov, 2 unnamed faction leaders)
  • Floor 09 (Room 1: Iron Knuckle, Hopper; Billy "The Blizzard", Napalm, Victoria "Glacier" Hart)
  • Floor 11 (H!igh $core; V1sc!ousV@l )
  • Floor 12 (Room 2: Tru@im; Room 3: Taser)
  • Floor 13 (Room 2: Martin Young; Room 3: Yan Zhao, Margaret Marony)
  • Floor 14 (Room 3: Edison, Copilot, Sebastian Attuah)
Renewable Enemy Source
Defeat 75 Supercharged criminals.

Supercharged Criminals are enraged or protected by Elemental shields. Exploiting the enemy's elemental effect weakness will break their supercharge effect. There are about 10-20 supercharged criminals each floor. You should be able to get this achievement automatically when clearing the floors.
Element of Surprise
Break Supercharged criminals 50 times using Elemental Effect weaknesses. The simple way for getting this achievement is to use elemental ranged attack and put on mods that increase elemental build up.

It counts only when the shield disappears by completing the element status before killing the enemies.

The first ten floors only have enemies with cryogenic and incendiary shields, and enemies with concussive and bioelectric shields appear from Floor 11. Recommended to do this achievement purposely in the progress of clearing floors. It should not take much time to get it.

There are 4 types of shields:
[Element] ← [Weakness]
  • Concussive shield ← Bioelectric attack
  • Bioelectric shield ← Concussive attack
  • Cryogenic shield ← Incendiary attack
  • Incendiary shield ← Toxic attack

Moreover, the element inflicting and shield breaking effect is also affected by faction specific resistance and weakness.
[Faction] - [Resistance] - [Weaknesses]
  • Mob - Concussive - Bioelectric
  • Regulator - Bioelectric - Concussive
  • Freeze regulator - Cryogenic - Incendiary
  • Freak - Incendiary - Toxic

Example of incendiary and cryogenic shields shown below.

Conclusion
I hope this guide helps you fully complete Gotham Knights. If it does, your like, favorite, or maybe award will be highly appreciated. Feel free to leave a comment if I made a mistake or anything can be improved!

Does anyone want to get kelvin with me?
ZzzoO  [author] 3 Feb @ 6:35pm 
@Relyks2000 No worries~ Heroic assaults are more for high level gears and modchips. XP should not be an issue as leveling up to lvl 40 is quite easy.
Relyks2000 3 Feb @ 1:01pm 
I've been doing the heroic assault floors during my first playthrough but I've long been at level 30. Now I'm feeling stupid. I should probably wait for NG+ so the XP counts for levels, I assume?
ZzzoO  [author] 28 Jan @ 6:59pm 
@Relyks2000 You can skip all the character-specific time trials, which reward you special colorways for suit and motorcycles. I skipped that as well cause I’m really bad at doing it haha:HFR_Sigh:
Relyks2000 28 Jan @ 5:30pm 
I'm tempted to skip the Batgirl gliding time trials because I hate the first one. It appears those are not necessary, just some later cycle ones, correct? Am I missing out on anything other than XP if I don't do the gliding ones? I imagine I could make just as much XP in less time by stopping crimes and not be angry.
GreenDragonGo 6 Jan @ 1:39pm 
oh just so you know I saw bioelectric shields earlier than what you said; I saw them throughout 1-10 floors
GreenDragonGo 6 Jan @ 1:25pm 
awesome, thank you I wasn't sure what that meant
ZzzoO  [author] 6 Jan @ 7:36am 
@GreenDragonGo Yes, the purple one is bioelectric:ayos_ok:
GreenDragonGo 6 Jan @ 7:05am 
What's the purple glow on the enemies in the Kevin incident is that the bioelectric shield? Also thanks for the guide
