Introduction
About
I have seen enough complaints about this encounter, I figured I would write a quick guide with some pointers on how to win this battle
A Flawed Design
First things first, I firmly believe that this battle is flawed in terms of game design. The rest of the game is great, but this battle has some problems that can confuse the player.
Here are the two major flaws, both of which a strategy needs to be built around:
  • The player does not immediately know that the thugs respawn, so they spend most of the time taking out the thugs. A more methodical player would want to take out all the thugs so they can focus on Two-Face.
  • The player does not know that taking out Two-Face ends the battle and the thugs disappear.
Anyway, with those two things in mind we can now form a strategy.
Strategy
Knowing that the thugs respawn and taking out Two Face will end the battle, the strategy becomes clear.

A Distraction
Simply put, you will want to distract most of the thugs so you can go after Two-Face.
POW!
So, here's what to do: do a loud takedown downstairs in the back hallway with floor grates, this will eventually draw most of the thugs away. Now quickly escape upstairs to a safe location without being seen.
Hey you guys, get over here!
If needed, pause for a moment and wait for a thug to discover his fallen comrade. He will call out to his buddies to come down see your handiwork. Most of them will oblige and hurry downstairs.
Pounce!
Once most of the thugs are downstairs and on their way, now's your chance! Go after Two-Face, scratch his eyes out! There may be a straggler on the far end, either silently take him out, or hope you get enough punches in Two-Face before he reaches you.

On easy and normal mode, you should have enough time to finish off Two Face in one sitting, HOWEVER on hard mode you may need to escape away and repeat the process once more.

my strategy was to keep 2 guards conscious then I come after two-face by performing a beat down.

This was so frustrating for me. Eventually, I took down a thug silently, threw bolas on a thug on the balcony with two face and pounced him and just started beating him. He was done in like 10 seconds. I took some hits but armor did its job.

Out of some expirience, the minimum number of guys you can get is 2, not including two face. What I did is took out all but two, waited til one of them was miles away, then threw caltrops at the second guy, and did a beatdown (middle click and spam m1) until he was ded. Quickfire bolas (double tap 3) if anyone comes.

I have a small suggestion for an alt strategy that takes a bit longer but imo ups the safety factor, Silently take out all but a single thug then wail on two face and if the remaining thug tries to get involved just disarm/ultra stun him and continue to wail two face. You should be able to kill two face before any of the other guards respawn. Or t lest tht's how I did it andd it seemed easier.
