I can't get past the Royal Hotel Bane boss battle

[some_grey_bloke]

and am very bored with trying. If you're good at this game (I'm not) and have some time, do you feel like taking my save game, defeating Bane and then sending the save back to me so I can carry on with the story?

If so let me know. Thanks very much.

You're going to have another battle with Bane later in the game, so here's what you do: RUN. Seriously. When Bane powers up, run away until he almost reaches you, then change direction and cut across at an angle before he overtakes you. Once in motion, Bane has difficulty changing direction. The evade/redirect prompt is best only for large groups.

Before he performs his kinetic ground slam (your prompt will be a "Ping" from his wrist gauntlet), do an evade to escape the impact, run up to him and Ultra Stun him (Cape Stun 3x) then initiate a Beatdown. At 5x combo perform a Combo Takedown. Repeat until the cutscene.

Thanks, that's what I've been trying - but it seems like this fight never ends, so I guess this is just yet another game for the ♥♥♥♥♥♥ pile.

Bane makes maybe three or four charge runs. If you get past that, you're into the cutscene. We did it, you can too.

patience dude, to savour the sweet one must also taste the sour

The trick is to run playing with batman AND with the camera (mouse)....just turn Batman and the camera to the same side...like a torero, in the last second. He do that 3 times and then jump. You need to jump in the same time to nearby Bane. After, u use the cape 3 times and atack, that will charge the gloves and take more damage. When the tugs keep coming, dont loose the focus in Bane and keep with the same tactic.

I've also been trying to beat Bane here since August! I even restarted my game and tried to level up as much as possible. It doesn't help, I can get close, Bane down to a few bars, but if I try to bash the henchman, Bane crushes me, if I try to ignore the henchman and concentrate on Bane, then the henchmen crush me. It's very frustrating.

[JonoAMano]

Changing direction when Bane charges, you can lure him into the path of annoying henchmen to stun them, then when you hear his gauntlet "ping" evade when he "ground stuns." While the henchmen are knocked down, quickly build up a 5x combo on Bane and perform a Multi-Ground Takedown, then immediately turn your attention back to Bane using Cape Ultra-Stun 3x + Beatdown 5x + Combo Takedown.

The Concussion Detonator will confuse Bane for a few seconds, long enough to gain some leverage against the henchmen. Remember, you only have to weaken Bane and survive 3 or 4 of his charge-rampages.

It took me a while also as i was playing on hard. The fight does feel to go on for a while.

Best tips i can give you is when he's in charge mode, always be running diagonally. Makes it so much easier to jump out the way.

I tried luring one or two away at a time, get a few hits in and then keep jumping over people until i'm back in an open area.

Build up your shock gloves and jump over Bane and start pounding him in the back. You don't need to take out the all the hench men

Ah cmon, don't give up., it's a hard fight, but when you beat it, it's SO satisfying (but frustrating getting there).

In addition to what Jono says, you absolutey can and should use takedowns on Bane as often as possible. As frustrating as the addition of the Henchman in the second half of this fight is, you need to use them to your advantage to build up your counter, then use your takedowns on Bane.

If you can do that, you can actually win this fight relatively quickly.

What I did on new game plus was to keep my distance when henchmen arrived and I lined myself up in a way that when bane charged me (not juiced up charge) , he knocked them over . Was patient enough with this technique until they were gone and then I just battered the bejaysus out of him. Great game and great fight ! ( even better on plus without the prompts!)

that's a perfectly valid tactic as well! (though I prefer to take advantage of the henchman themselves still :)

I was somewhat boozed up at the time and those fricken Henchmen moved at so fast that I kept losing my focus on Bane and then he would charge or clobber me( or both) . Avoiding his juiced up charges is problematic sometimes cause if u are in a tight corner and get hit with his first charge then you can lose momentum and get hit again... found that bit unfair and cheap
