Here we come to our finale for Arkham Asylum. I could have combined this segment with the previous, but I had things all mapped out and thought combining Joker with Poison Ivy on top of two Titan fights was going to be too much. As it turns out I breezed through the endgame content and this easily could have been part of the Ivy segment. Still I'm happy with things as they are, since it was convenient for my naming scheme for the series.
I skip fighting the goons before The Party as it's one of the tougher fights in the game on its own and I didn't want to risk my run here. However I made a separate video for doing Party Pooper under No Upgrade Hard Mode conditions previously, if you'd like: https://youtu.be/0QLGt9hYLpo
The actual final boss begins at 14:47. Joker can be a little tough under No Upgrade Hard Mode conditions, probably the toughest fight in the game overall, but the electrified walls make things a lot easier and if you abuse them you can tear through the fight pretty quickly. It helps that he gives you 500 EXP (that applies instantly) between rounds to heal you, especially with my low default health.
I take too much damage in Round 2 and 3 because I'm not paying enough attention to the gun and let myself get shot entirely too much. I have multiple opportunities to take the thug out before he fires but neglect him. I'm extremely fortunate to not die here, in spite of my own carelessness.
At 25:39 you can see the full cast list, which is why I kept a decent chunk of the credit in the video.
Just as a final note, and especially since I'm doing this series partly as a homage to Kevin Conroy... there's something absolutely magical about 19:38 where Batman simply says "Always." It hit me hard the first time I played this game as a huge fan of B:TAS, and continues to hit me to this day. It's a tiny little moment and yet it's everything that Batman is all about, at his best.
RIP, Kevin.
