Aerial Attack off a stunned enemy into another

[jeffellis1961]

I've done a search of the forum but have not come across a post on this, so my apologies if I have missed it.
The above challenge is the only one I need to complete the game, but I am finding it impossible to do, even once, so I am wondering if I am missing something.
As far as I can work it out, I am supposed to approach an enemy, stun him using the middle button, press 'space' twice to start the aerial attack, but then hit a direction button and the left mouse button to do the takedown. From what I can gather from research I do the last steps BEFORE batman starts to climb on the stunned enemy. The problem I am having is that Batman makes his climb imediately and I am unable to get to to press the direction and left mouse button before he has done an aerial takedown on the original target.What am I doing wrong?

Sounds like you got the sequence right, the only thing I can offer is, you need to press and hold a direction, towards an enemy, and then press the strike button as you are climbing up the enemy. I'd estimate that you probably have around half a second to do this, it's fairly generous with the timing.

Also make sure that there's another enemy around (at least two), as that's the point of the directed attack. And for reference, it's stun enemy, double tap evade towards eney, press and hold a direction towards enemy, then press strike as soon as the climbing animation starts.

Aerial attacks don't work on them at all

IT WORKED!

I sort of panickedly did as described above: Stun (MMB), double jump (2 x SPACE), immediately press and hold (that's the panicked part) directional button towards another enemy combined with attack [LMB], AND IT WORKED!

So now I have a full board of riddler trophies, penguins, cameras, balloons, Harley Quinn heads, TYGER centrals, Catwoman trophies, non-AR maneuvres, melée and gadget moves, as well as side missions, and I'm flush with concept art and lore. I dunno why, but it feels disappointing.

gotta have someone to share it with and enjoy it with to really have the full experience.

It took me a good long hour of playing to get only a few aerial attacks off of another henchmen, I think this was the first time in the game I actually had a hard time
