Navigating the chaotic streets of Gotham City in Batman Arkham Knight demands sharp detective skills and quick reflexes. One of the earliest challenges players encounter is The Line of Duty side quest, which requires tracking down missing members of Station 17. Bleake Island serves as the initial testing ground for this multi-part rescue mission, hiding several crewmen behind groups of hostile thugs.
Rescuing the Crew Near the Northern Docks
The first few crew members are stranded around the industrial districts near the northern coastlines. You will find one individual trapped near the Falcone Shipping yards, surrounded by a heavy brute and armed rioters. Utilizing silent takedowns from the vantage points above is highly recommended to thin out the crowd safely.
Another missing firefighter is located further east near the water, hidden behind a weak brick structure. Players need to scan the area with Detective Vision to spot the heat signatures of the captors. Once identified, crashing through the nearby windows allows you to execute a quick surprise attack.
Locating the Captured Men in Chinatown
Moving inward toward the crowded alleyways of Chinatown reveals more dangerous hostage situations. One crewman is pinned down on a rooftop balcony directly under a flashing neon sign. You can easily access this location by launching from the Batmobile and gliding silently onto the adjacent guard rails.
Deep within the central market square, another group of rioters holds a crew member inside a secluded courtyard. This particular encounter features enemies equipped with firearms, making smoke pellets incredibly useful for closing the distance. Dismantling their weapon crates beforehand ensures they cannot overwhelm the Dark Knight during the brawl.
Securing the Southern Landmarks and Bridges
The remaining captives on this specific island are scattered near the southern borders and transit lines. A firefighter is trapped underneath the main highway overpass leading toward the central bridges. Because the area is tightly enclosed, utilizing the environment to trigger heavy structural takedowns is highly efficient.
The final individual on Bleake Island can be spotted near the lighthouse area on the far southeastern edge. A large crew of armored thugs guards this position, requiring precise combat counters and rapid gadget usage. Clearing this zone successfully prepares players to advance the quest line further into the neighboring districts.
