    Finish I Am The Night Mode

    How to unlock I Am The Night

    If you think you were done with the story at NG+, that was just a warm up. I Am The Night Mode is exactly the same as New Game+, but you cannot die- die once and IATN mode is reset. Luckily it autosaves so it doesn't have to be in one sitting unlike some games, so you can also back up your save to a USB or PS+ before dangerous moments in the story to prevent losing your save. Another feature you can take advantage of is restarting the checkpoint. If you are low on health, you can restart before you die and suffer no penalty.
    You'll have completed the game twice before so this isn't really bad, especially with the two measures mentioned above, but you should take things slow and not risk doing side missions as it just offers more chance to die.

    However there are a few times when it is really easy to die. A list of these are situated below:

    Hostage Situations- In some predators an enemy will grab a hostage, if they see you it's game over.
    Firefly- In the Firefly boss battle, when you go flying into the air after grappeling onto him, you will fall off, you must immediately regrappel or you die.
    Environmental hazards- some can kill you instantly. For example the electric water in Blackgate.
    Joker- In the final confrontation with Joker, you must hit counter or he will shoot you and it's game over, so close to the end


    This will pop in the final cutscene.

  • Least it's a gold. Completing the game without dying shouldn't be too bad but we'll see.
  • At least you can save
  • #2 i heard that you can't save
  • http://www.onlysp.com/batman-arkham-origins-campaign-lasts-around-12-hours/ “The main narrative arc and side missions last about 12 hours,” he explained, “and then you have all the collectibles. To get 100 per cent of that will take much, much longer. We have a new difficulty level, New Game Plus is coming pack – that’s really difficult – and when you’re done with that there’s I Am The Night mode – which is no saves and one life.”
  • #3, #4 You can save. You just can't die - or you go back to the start. Direct quote from Eric Holmes on his twitter.
  • probably like dead space 3, you can save, can't die or the save will delete, load save onto USB...problem solved (unless u cant save)
  • @#6 I'm guessing the saves will be locked so that you can't transfer them to an external storage device or abuse cloud loading.
  • So am I understanding I have to get all the collectibles in I am night mode?
  • Can i save? Or do you have to complete everything without quit?
  • Well, after just doing the first playthrough, I can only see a couple of spots where it might get sticky. The most obvious of which being the last fights of the game. But, considering the practice you get... careful playing should prove it to be a rather simple experience.
  • You can absolutely save, in fact it's the same auto save feature from the normal save, everything you do will be saved. The dev guy that explained it, or rather whoever typed it made an error, the game saves as normal on I am the night mode, meaning if you play for 5 minutes and wanna quit, you can, then continue from there. Problem is it autosave saves the instant you die destroying your progress and forcing you to start a new game. In other words, it is 100% identical to dead space 3 hardcore mode
  • I'm playing with no patches, version 1.00 and I can confirm that you can backup your save file to USB. I expect they'll lock the save file with a patch soon though if people are exploiting it... Can anyone confirm using patch 1.02 or newer, can you still copy save files to USB? I've avoided downloading it for this reason, playing sp offline for now so can't access mp...
  • I'm Using Patch 1.02 And Yes You Can Backup Your Save Game Files On USB 100%.
  • I Don't Know About The I AM THE NIGHT MODE – Which Is NO SAVES And One Life.
  • So i just plug in a USB in to my ps3 and it will save everything automatic?
  • @14 this is false, one of the devs mistakenly said on Facebook or Twitter that it's no saves, but it's just no deaths. He corrected himself on the site. I am the night mode uses exactly the same auto save feature as the normal game modes, if you walk through a door, grab a collectible or whatever, it always auto saves, so you don't need to play the whole game in 1 sitting... But if you die, it resets your game progress back to 0%. So it's exactly the same as dead space 3's hardcore mode. Also beware that no matter how quickly you react, quitting to XMB will-Not help you if you die, the auto save triggers the very instant batmans health reaches 0, even before the death animation plays out, there's no chance to beat it buy quitting to XMB. There are 2 easy ways around this, you can
  • Restart checkpoints as often as you like, this is the best option, restart whenever your health drops below halfway and obviously try to avoid as much damage as possible... And you can backup your saves either to USB or psn. Everyone needs to stop freaking out about the "no saves" rumour, it was a simple mistake, the game DOES SAVE automatically.
  • @15, no. You need to plug in your USB and manually enter the "game saves ps3" folder, all your game save files are here. In this folder, press triangle and sort by most recent first, your batman saves should be at the top of this folder. Highlight a batman save file and press triangle, then go to copy multiple and select the save files you wish to copy to USB. You will need to do this before every session to ensure you have the most upto date save files backed up, because your ps3 will never access your USB automatically, your save files are completely safe on USB but completely useless if you lose 10 hours progress cos you forgot to back them up often.
  • The only thing you cant do is die. it saves for you just dont die. i REPEAT dont die!!!!!
  • BTW I am past Deathstork & only dies @ Killer Croc so far
  • Lool. I died against firefly
  • I also died @ firefly but it didnt save for w/e reason & it let me count called it an extralife from the video game gods & the trophies not glitched but the theme doesnt unlock http://instagram.com/p/glY4yvs2TD/
  • BTW this should of been named "knight" like the perfect knight trophies
  • I beat this and the theme didn't unlock :/ I didn't die once... this game and it's dumb glitches, especially with multiplayer. If you sign out while at the menu for multiplayer, your mp data and level will reset back to 1
  • I saved my game on the usb drive right before I turned off my PS3 and when I went back to the game it said that I had died but before that I deleted the saved game from my PS3 and uploaded the one from the drive and it didn't save on my PS3 , and now I've lost everything , I have to redo everything , if I had the saved game from someone else's I am the night mode saved on my PS3 could that bring back everything that I lost ?
  • #24 learn to read i already stated that ty
  • #26 learn the fact that not everyone reads all the comments... I could care less if you wrote it... since it happened to me, I wanted to say it lol
  • #27 if your not reading the comment then no need to post we dont need the same thing twice thats why ppl dont read them cause its the same shit over & over...asshole
  • As of today, I am still able to backup data saved and just beat this mode earlier.
  • It is possible to avoid falling off after grappling Firefly. Simply mash triangle the whole time he is dragging you, and you will "counter" the part where you fall off.
  • Trying to decide if this is gonna be worth it - I won't be doing multiplayer, so I'm not chasing the platinum...
  • it's just like Demon's Souls if you die quickly quite the game & the reply it you'll start from were u died .. oh right quite the game means go to PS manu i did twice when i faced copperhead*
  • What an achievement! I AM VENGEANCE... I AM THE NIGHT... I AM... BATMAN!!!
  • If you die at Firefly after defeating him (there's a sequence where you grapple to him, and he can kick you, resulting in a game over) the game's not going to end, you can try it again.
  • This trophy is one of the many reasons this game drives me insane. You're tired of it after playing through the normal campaign, then it wants an NG+ from you which okay, fine, that's standard. Then ANOTHER NG++ where you can't die once, which is laborious but generally fine outside of certain boss fights (I'm thinking Croc, Bane, Firefly). Then you see all the finnicky multiplayer trophies and god. I've put myself through some extremely not fun sessions to get a platinum in other games but I just can't be bothered with these ones.
  • another thing that should have been mentioned as a hazard is snipers in predator. complete BS. I hadnt been spotted and then boom Im hit out of nowhere and as Im grappling away Im hit again and game over. dead in 2 hits before I could even react. good thing I saved a copy to the cloud but it still sucks losing hours of progress I had since then.
  • @dq93 How do cloud saves work? If I die, how do I resume from my backed up file? Does it happen automatically?
  • So yeah either upload to cloud after difficult parts but if you forget or die unexpectedly as long as you're quick. If you quickly eject your disc before the little death screen plays it won't count as a death
