Batman: Arkham City raises the number as well as the difficulty of Riddler Trophies compared to the previous installment. There are now over 200 question marks for you to find as Batman which includes 37 in the Amusement Mile district alone. This does not include the 35 Catwoman Trophies that also count towards the Riddler Challenge.
The map image below marks the locations of all Riddler Trophies in the Amusement Mile. You do not have to interrogate dozens of Riddler’s henchmen to reveal their hidden locations. Thus, saving you a lot of time.
We recommend playing through the main campaign first before pursuing the Riddler’s trophies since some of them are locked behind story-accessible areas. It’s best to go after them later in the game to avoid backtracking.
