There is eight Riddler puzzles in Old Gotham North. Most are in the open world, but one is in a puzzle room that only becomes available after you've completed five other puzzle rooms. You can see coordinates in the game by opening the map, moving the cursor around and looking in the lower right corner of the screen.

What you need before you solve all the old Gotham North Riddler puzzles

You cannot solve every Old Gotham North Riddler Puzzle as soon as you reach the district. Several puzzles require later characters, incl Catwoman, Nightwingand Robin. Jim Gordon and Batman's core tools are also used, but you should already have them by the time you're seriously clearing Old Gotham North.

The last puzzle, Our enigmatic secretalso differs from the others. It's in a puzzle room at 407, 448, which is only unlocked after you've completed five other puzzle rooms. If you can't access it yet, keep solving Riddler and Cluemaster puzzles around Gotham until more puzzle rooms become available.

If you are missing a required character, continue the story and come back later. For unlock time, see our guide on how to unlock all playable characters. For more on character gadgets and upgrades, see our Gadgets & Upgrades Guide.

All old Gotham North Riddler puzzle solutions

Arch de Triomphe Riddler Puzzle Solution

• Coordinates: 425, 471
• Mandatory character: Nightwing

Insert Nightwing's staff into the device to the left of the cube and shoot it to open a gate. Break the containers past the gate and use their components to build a button in front of the gate with the cube.

Put Batman on the button, then stand directly in front of the cube gate with Nightwing. Use his electrified Batarang to knock the electric box past the gate and gain access to the cube.

Holed Up Riddler Puzzle Solution

• Coordinates: 368, 464
• Mandatory character: Catwoman

This cube is tucked into an alcove in a wall. Follow the cable connected to the alcove to reach its power supply. Use Catwoman to climb the wall next to it, activate the switch at the top, then use her Whip on the screw inside the power supply. Now fall off the wall and into the alcove.

Can't park there Mate Riddler Puzzle Solution

• Coordinates: 375, 448
• Mandatory character: Catwoman

Use Catwoman's Call Kitty ability and send her cat through the vent to the left of the van blocking the cube. Grab the key in the room with the cube and bring it back to Catwoman.

Now smash the red toolbox next to the van and use the components to make a notch on its front. Jump into a Batmobile, attach your tow ring to the hitch and pull to move the van forward. You can then use the key on the gate to access the cube.

Missed Connections Riddler Puzzle Solution

• Coordinates: 362, 433
• Mandatory character: Nightwing

To solve this puzzle, you must use Nightwing's electrified Cable Launcher to connect a generator to a device with symbols. That connection will cause a symbol to rotate, and the goal is to disconnect the generator when the symbol matches the symbol displayed on the device.

Disconnecting the generator can be a bit tricky, as the way you remove the cables from the Cable Launcher doesn't always feel consistent. I would recommend trying to hit a connected line with a Batarang, as it often disconnects it. If that doesn't work, try running a second line between the symbol connected to the generator and a second symbol, which should remove the first line.

The Success Steps Riddler Puzzle Solution

• Coordinates: 392, 404
• Mandatory character: Batman / Jim Gordon

Use the Batclaw to reveal gears next to the switch and retrieve the key. Press the button to lower the cage with the cube and use Jim Gordon's foam sprayer on the gears to hold it in place.

Now drop to the platform next to the lowered cage. Go to the bottom of the platform and push it to the right so it's directly next to the cage. Use your key to open it.

Strike a Balance Riddler Puzzle Solution

• Coordinates: 347, 368
• Mandatory character: Robin

Go to the roof of the building opposite the cube, where you'll find a column of question marks. Use Robin's Cable Launcher to create a line between the column and the building to the right of the cube.

Position yourself near the middle of the line and use Robin's Batarang, which can hit three targets in one throw, to activate the switches on the building in this order: left, right, center.

Power Climb Riddler Puzzle Solution

• Coordinates: 332, 354
• Mandatory character: Any character with a Batarang-style ranged attack

Get on the roof of the building behind the cube to find a power line connected to a series of targets. Use a Batarang to hit the switch at the bottom, start the power, then hit the targets to direct the power to the top of the building.

3. Collect the bust with the hat from the cabinet opposite the entrance to the room with the mirror. Place it on the podium next to the TVs in the mirror room to solve the puzzle and access the cube.
