Batman: Arkham City GOTY – Storyteller Achievement Guide

A quick guide to get the “Verhaalverteller” achievement in Batman: Arkham City GOTY.

Overzicht

In order to get this achievement, you have to visit the Calendar Man in his cell on special dates. Starting New Years Day, he will more or less tell you which is the next date you should to visit him.

How to Get Storyteller Achievement

You can complete this by adjusting your computer’s clock.

Start by setting your year to 2012. This is because some holidays change dates from year to year, to correspond with a certain day of the week or similar.

His cell is in the basement of the Solomon Wayne Courthouse. You can enter through the backdoor.

Enter the courthouse, and go down talk to the Calendar Man. After he finished telling his story, go back outside, alt-tab to change the date, alt-tab back, enter the courthouse, and talk to him again. Spoel af en herhaal. I don’t know if going out is necessary, but I wanted to give the game an opportunity to save the interaction and to load the area with the new date set.

The dates do not appear on the calendar beside his cell prior to the date being “completed”, at least during my playthrough. But as mentioned, he will tell you when next to come to see him.
