Gotham Knights: How to Unlock Knighthood Challenges

🎙️ Voice is AI-generated. Inconsistencies may occur.

Knighthood is a special set of skills and abilities that players can unlock in Gotham Knights to help take their characters to the next level. Unlocking these special abilities isn't going to be easy, and knowing how to get started on the way to Knighthood for each character is important.

To get started on unlocking Knighthood in Gotham Knights, you're going to need to head back to the Belfry after completing the first patrol. If you're further in the game, then you can just make your way back to the Belfry using the game's fast travel system, which lets you get around the city easier.

One back in the Belfry, switch characters to the character that you want to unlock Knighthood on, and then open the Batcomputer. Here you can view your Map, Challenges, and other important information about your heroes in Gotham Knights. To get started unlocking Knighthood, navigate over to the Challenges page and then select Knighthood under the options.

Here you'll be able to see the requirements you need to meet to unlock the Knighthood skills for a particular character. These challenges can vary––for example, Nightwing and Robin require you to complete Timed Strike Training, as well as gather up premeditated clues in Patrols, as well as some other requirements.

To unlock the Knighthood skills, you're going to need to complete all of these challenges on each character. You'll then gain access to the Knighthood Skill Tree, which comes with additional abilities and powers that you can make use of during your time in Gotham Knights. Perhaps one of the most useful skills you can unlock using the Knighthood Skill Tree is each character's Heroic Travel option.

Unlike fast travel in Gotham Knights, which requires you to unlock certain nodes around the city, the Heroic Travel option allows you to traverse Gotham City similarly to the Batcycle. However, most of the Heroic Travel options are much faster than the Batcycle, and can even fly around the city for more verticality and access to the city's largest structures.

Of course, running around on the ground is never a bad idea, either, as this is one of the best ways to come across different enemies so you can farm Nth Metal, an important crafting material needed to craft and unlock new suits in Gotham Knights.

If you haven't decided which character you like the most so far, it's recommended that you take some time with each one and see which playstyle fits you best. Some heroes do better against larger groups, while others may do better against singular targets. Keep all that in mind when heading out into the mean streets of Gotham City.
