Riddler Datapack on top of Soder Cola Building

[MadMax665]

Alright, here's the deal. I'm collecting the datapacks and from File 03 only one is missing. It is on top of the Soder Cola building on a small ledge and you can't grapple up there, or glide up there (no building is high enough to give you enough uplift) and I see absolutely no way to get to the trophy there.

Has anyone collected this one already? If so, how?

[MadMax665]

Also, according to every guide I've found there shouldn't even be a data pack on that building. Is it safe to report this as a bug?

I'm having the same problem here...

Okay, so I managed to get the datapack, but still not sure it isn't a little bug since for the life of me I cannot find a single guide mentioning this specific datapack as part of File 03.

Anyway, you glide past the museum to the highest building all the way in the back. From there, you gilde and dive bomb about 1/3 of the way the first time, again 2/3 of the way the second time and then about right before you approach the Soder Cola building. Stay to the left of the roof you need to get on, fly around in an arch and land on it.

It takes a bit of practicing but you *can* reach it if you do it right.

Nice find.

But I don't quite think that this was the way it was meant for us to get there.

This grapple stuff is way too bugged

Nah I think it is. I encountered several that were in high places you have to fly to from another building. If it was just a ledge you grapple too it wouldn't be even remotely challenging. They aren't even behind locks; just out in the open.

Yes, but most of those are pretty obvious on where to go and how to fly. This one is beyond cryptic if it was meant to be that way since the building in question is a good distance from the one you need to get and just barely offers enough height to get it done. And again. No guide refers to the datapack on that spot and all File 03 guides I've found list all 10 datapacks.

Wow this one was annoying. The trick is to grapple onto the gargoyle and then dive across the building towards the Soder Cola roof. You will be super high this way, and it's very easy to reach the ledge.

It's definitely intended and not a bug. It's challenging, but not certainly not impossible, nor was it even the hardest one for me to attain.

Not every datapack has to be simple, ya know.

Find the building that you can grapple on to use the boost to glide to the data pack do a dive bomb to get some speed and lift and bam you got it, same goes for the one above for the hatters shop.

That's the way I did it, if it's the one I'm thinking of. If you boost up to the gargoyle and aim toward the building with the datapack on it, usually one or two quick dives to gain height on the upswing...gets it every time.

Grapple off the gargoyles on the building next door and then go into a quick dive and pull back up. You will glide high enough that you can land on the ledge and pick up the data pack.

I got that one in one try!

[MadMax665]

Well, I hate to spoil your conquests of war, but as you can see my last post was like a month ago and I got it by now, via the method I described. It's actually easier with the one recently posted, but both work. Thanks anyway for everyone that participated in coming up with ways to do it.

[joeji]

been doing the grapple acceleration to gargoyle, turn, dive a bit and pull up .... NEVER reach height.

I can get to the Soda neon sign BELOW the data pack ledge, but no can do.
This is frustrating silliness beyond belief.

.... and ... I can loft *just* to the datapack ledge .... but it won't let me hang/grab/land.

Been doing this for 30 mins. I am ABOVE the darned ledge, but no landing. I just slide down to the neon sign below the ledge.

You have to be on the side of the gargoyle building away from the Soder Cola building, so that when you grapple accelerate up to the gargoyle, you're heading toward the Soder Cola building. Immediately do a quick dive, but not too long, and then glide upward. You should only have to do it once, but some people said you have to do it multiple times.
