The Perfect Crime is one of the most chilling and memorable Most Wanted side missions in Batman: Arkham Knight, tasking players with tracking down a meticulous serial killer across Gotham City. To solve this macabre puzzle, the Dark Knight must discover six mutilated bodies suspended in public spaces, each accompanied by haunting opera music playing in the background. Investigating these crime scenes requires using the Deep Tissue Scanner to examine the victims across three distinct layers, including the skin, muscle, and bone, to uncover vital identity clues.
Bleake Island Murder Sites
The grim investigation begins on Bleake Island, where players are automatically directed to the very first victim early in the game's narrative. This initial body is located pinned to a wall near the Merchant Bridge, serving as an introduction to the multi-layered forensic scanning mechanics. Finding the second body requires traveling to the bridge connecting to the GCPD lockdown zone, where another victim hangs near the localized shipping lanes. Both spots require careful listening to detect the opera music echoing through the rainy night air.
Miagani Island Hidden Bodies
As the story progresses and the bridges lower, the hunt expands into the high-end neon districts of Miagani Island. The third victim can be found suspended on the external wall of a building situated just northeast of the Elliot Memorial Hospital structures. Tracking down the fourth body requires navigating toward the western outskirts of the island, where the killer has displayed a victim on a wall near the Grand Avenue rail transit lines. For players balancing multiple quests, taking a brief break to read a can help clear the mind before dive back into these complex crime scene coordinates.
Founders Island Final Victims
The last pair of victims is located on Founders Island, an area heavily guarded by the Arkham Knight's automated militia forces. Players can locate the fifth body on the side of a building directly north of the Ryker Heights district, tucked away from the main roads. The final mutilated body is hidden away in the lower construction zones of Otisburg, fastened to a wall near a prominent crane structure. Scanning this last piece of evidence allows Batman to triangulate the broadcast signal and pinpoint the exact hideout of the twisted mastermind behind the theatrical murders.
Confronting Professor Pyg
Once all six victims have been thoroughly scanned and identified, the tracking coordinates lead directly to the Pretty Dolls Parlor located in the Ryker Heights neighborhood. Inside this creepy basement facility, Batman confronts Professor Pyg, a deeply disturbed villain surrounded by his brainwashed, pain-immune Dollotron minions. Defeating Pyg requires a mix of stealth takedowns and precise combat counters to dismantle his operation and rescue the remaining captives. Successfully locking him away in the GCPD maximum security cells completes this thrilling, story-driven investigation.
