10 Scariest Hidden Encounters In Open World Games

10. Man-Bat - Batman Arkham Knight

You want scary in an open world game? I’ve got two words for you - Man Bat. The fourth game in the fantastic Arkham franchise, Batman: Arkham Knight, sees you - as the titular superhero, swinging from rooftops to traverse Gotham city, once again.

Most of it is just getting from point a to point b, maybe finding some Riddler trophies, and setting yourself up to drop down on some unfortunate goons to hospitalize. But if you play the game and do some rooftop rambling on Miagani island, you can grapple hook your way up to a face-to-face encounter with the mutated villain, Man-Bat.

Even after beating the fellow originally named Dr. Kirk Langstrom, a few times, curing him of his mutation, and imprisoning him in the Gotham Police Department you can have two more similar encounters. The first occurs anytime after that, and it will be the Joker’s face, instead - a hallucination. The second is if you play the game on Halloween, or set the console date to October 31st.

The cutscene of coming face-to-face with Man-Bat will play again and you can return to the GCPD to learn Man-Bat transformed again and escaped.
