The Bowery has 39 more Riddler Trophies for you to hunt down in Batman: Arkham City. This is one of the largest districts in the game for your Riddler Challenge, so make sure that you are ready to spend a considerable amount of time.
Do note, though, that we will not be listing down Catwoman Trophies. These do count as Riddler Trophies but you need to play as Catwoman to get them.
You can find out the locations of these trophies by interrogating one of Riddler’s goons but to save you the time and the hassle we’ve marked the exact locations of all the 39 collectibles as well as mentioned the process of getting them.
We recommend to start hunting them down after completing the main storyline. This is because some areas can only be accessed by beating the game.
How to get the Bowery Riddler Trophies in Batman: Arkham City
Riddler Trophy 1
Requirement: Explosive Gel
The first Riddler Trophy for the Bowery district can be found on a small rooftop building west of the Museum in the northwestern corner of the map. The trophy will be stuck behind a platform puzzle.
Plant explosive gel on the three question mark signs marked on the wall. Once that’s done, stand on the green platform to light up one of the three signs. Detonate the explosive gel on the glowing sign. You’ll be required to repeat the process on the rest of the two signs to unlock this collectible in Batman: Arkham: City.
Riddler Trophy 2
Requirement: Line Launcher
Make your way to the Iceberg Lounge located across the Museum towards the West of the Bowery district. Right next to the Iceberg Lounge you’ll spot a pathway that leads you below to the underground level. Simply drop down to find the Riddler Trophy stuck behind yet another platform puzzle.
This puzzle will require Batman to stand on one platform and move on to the next one using the Line Launcher. Stand on any one of the three platforms and shoot the Line Launcher at the wall to travel to the next. Stepping on the ground after activating one of the platforms will cause you to repeat the whole process again.
Once all three platforms are cleared, acquire the Riddler trophy and move on to the next.

Once the caged door appears, the second question mark will light up. Equip the Remoted Controlled Batarang and throw it at the caged door.
