Critical Mistakes to Avoid

  • Don’t try to fight the graffiti artists — you must use the water pump puzzle.

  • Missing Catwoman — You cannot unlock this without Catwoman’s whip. If you don’t have her, buy her in the store or unlock her first.

  • Only hitting one sign — There are two water sign targets. You must hit both with Batarangs to dump enough water.

  • Wrong target — Make sure you’re whipping the graffiti pulley mechanism, not random objects nearby.

  • Not switching characters — This puzzle requires both Catwoman AND Batman. Don’t try to solve it with just one character.

And just like that, you’ve got fast travel unlocked in Old Gotham West. Now zip across Gotham without wasting time driving through every alley.
