- How to Scan Riddles?
scarface427 11 years ago#1 Maybe I'm just too early in the game so it won't let me do it yet, but I cannot scan locations/items for riddles. In AA, I would just hold X down for a riddle scan, but now that doesn't do anything. Single tap of X still brings up detective mode. |
giocare 11 years ago#2 I don't think you can scan riddles until later. I was playing earlier and got a sidequest for the Riddler, after that I began seeing riddles around the city. |
OmniNakago 11 years ago#3 Yeah, you don't get that ability until the game prompts you to do so for some reason. "God is a comedian, playing to an audience that is too afraid to laugh."

skatrx9349 10 years ago#4 I had the same problem. All you need to do is go into the Church and start the Riddler sidequest. As soon as you solve the first riddle in the Church that the Riddler requires you to solve, you can begin scanning Riddles around the city. |

Got it ! Just hold the same button down that you used to invoke detective mode, while aiming closely at a riddler trophy.
How could i forget. Landed here too, before figuring it out. Playing on Onlive, in that case that means -> Hold the LB button to scan when you already are in Detective mode ;)
Which is also described in the cotrols pause menu
Also dont forget your DLC skin switching code ;)
To use the code, the following button combination must be pressed on the Main Menu screen after a save slot has been selected:
Left, Left, Down, Down, Left, Left, Right, Up, Up, Down
You'll hear thunder if done correctly
Scanning the Cloudburst Tank
It shows you (tab) + batman normal mode detecive scan key.
You are in the car, use battle mode + forensic scan.
An easy one to correct, but doubt they will bother.

How do I scan riddler question marks?
Hello
I see question marks all over the place in detective mode, but holding down "LB" doesn't seem to scan them no matter how I try to align it. (I don't even get a "misaligned" message.) How do you scan
the question marks?
