Question about Cold Call Killer

[username]

I already done tracking Zsasz and found his location, but you need a freeze blast to take him down, which I haven't got. So my question is, will he still calling me even tho I already done tracking him? And if he does, should I pick it up?

[JonoAMano]

You don't need the Freeze Blast to capture Zsasz, merely to collect one trophy that you can grab later in the game. Go to the hideout location. If you do decide to pick up the phone, make a copy of your save beforehand just in case it goes badly. If this is your first play slot, saves found here:
Steam \ userdata \ Steam User Number \ 200260 \ remote \ save0.sgd

Really tho? Cause when I get to this part (https://imgur.com/JXPKsee) I was stuck and have no idea what to do, so I look up YouTube (the image is also from YT btw) and turns out I need the freeze blast to catch him, but if you know another way that doesn't require the freeze blast then I would like to know

Does it mean that he's still calling?

I'm getting a hard virus warning from that link so I'm not clicking on it. Just post the original YouTube video and tell me the timestamp, I'll show you a workaround.
[EDIT] Parentheses in links prevent them from parsing properly.

Otherwise, when you enter Zsasz' hideout you pull the cover off the vent and crawl through it. You'll jump across or use the Line Launcher to bridge gaps, then you find a dangerous gap where hot tide water used to cool the Steel Mill impedes your progress. When the tide rushes out you need to quickly run and slide under a narrow opening and shimmy to the right before the tide comes in. From there you can use the Line Launcher (you do remember that you can change direction with the Line Launcher?) and do a Loud Takedown on Zsasz when he's in position.

As for Zsasz still calling he probably is, wondering where you are and what's keeping you. I've never gone that late into the game; I usually wrap up the side missions as early as possible, even from my earliest playthroughs.

The problem with relying on these videos is that it takes away from the player's own deductive reasoning, plus you're probably watching some newbie player on his first outing.

This, I'm stuck at this part. And also I don't know (or maybe forget) that I can change the line launcher direction, so yeah I think that's what make me stuck. Guess I'll try then, thanks for the help! (I just realize that this discussion was already off topic lol)

No problem. I was able to get the link to work by copying and pasting it directly; when my antivirus sees a link going through multiple sources like Steam's hyperlinking it gets suspicious.

Just right-click (if you're using a mouse) to slow down, then aim to where you want to go next, and fire the launcher again, to change direction.

imgur has been "weird" for a while now. I have to always add .jpg to the end of the links to get them to work, it seems.

Yeah I already catch him (thanks again for the help JonoAMano)

[JonoAMano]

@EbonHawk, good call. Thanks.

@Nyaan, you're welcome. Can you post a link to that specific YouTube video? I like watching some of these early Arkham playthroughs.

He's wearing the Dark Knight Returns skin, so what does that tell you? This is a NG+ playthrough in which the player is fully equipped having previously played the main story. I have a great deal of respect for this content creator and normally he's pretty reliable, but this video is misleading if you're following it to the letter for a first-run procedural playthrough.

Provided that you answered all the phone calls, you can wrap up Zsasz immediately after receiving the Line Launcher and before chasing the Assassin into Wonder City, no special tools required, just those in your inventory. Be inventive, trust your own instincts.

If you're going to watch one creator's videos instead of relying on your own deductive reasoning, watch someone else's videos to see how they solved the same problems or puzzles.

I know, but I'm the type of person that could easily get rage when playing video games, and I usually can't think straight when I was rage. I was a bit rage after falling a couple time and restarting checkpoint due to hp, plus I don't know that I can change the line launcher direction yet.

But now and onwards when I stuck at some part, I usually take my time to think (or in the case with Riddler and side missions, I'm moving on untill I find a way) and so far I'm no longer seeking internet for help.

You actually encourage me to think creative ('creative' maybe not be the right choice of word but I don't know what else). There's some Riddler Thropy that I though was impossible to obtain at first, but when I think and make good use of my arsenal, I can get pass those.

[EbonHawk]

I had to look up a couple myself, but it was always a "head-smacking" moment when I realized what the solution was. Why didn't I think of that?

It's always rewarding to finally figure them out, but sometimes (lack of) patience doesn't let me. :-P

Same lol

No worries, my future advice would be that if you watch one person's video, try to watch someone else's video as well in order to compare both the similarities and the differences in how they solve puzzles, how early in the game, and with what equipment.
