10 Terrifying Secrets In Open World Games

Like the rest of the Batman: Arkham series, Batman: Arkham City oozes with a gritty atmosphere that’s tailor-made for the eponymous brooding hero

As well as being responsible for the chilling morgue sequence in Arkham Asylum, Scarecrow also delivered the creepiest part of this sequel.

Although the character doesn’t appear in the flesh in this game, players can find their secret hideout on a boat in the Industrial District, which teases their return in Batman: Arkham Knight.

Upon finding the vessel and decrypting the lock to the hatch with the foreboding code “City Of Terror”, the camera will switch to a first-person perspective when players venture below deck.

What they’ll find is a grimy room filled with tanks of insects, with one of Joker’s henchmen sitting on a chair at the far end.

While it looks like he’s unconscious, getting up close to Scarecrow’s victim and zooming in on their face triggers a jump scare which sees him spring to life before collapsing lifelessly back on the chair.

Not only did this scare catch everyone by surprise, but the implications of what happened to this person were even more disturbing.
