The next level limits what we can do to enemies, but it is still beatable if you know what to do.
No Green Peace
The second stage of the game starts with Batman heading to the forest in the Gotham City suburban district, as there has been an unusual increase in the number of trees in the area. There have also been reported sightings of bizarre plant life. If it is revealed that Poison Ivy is behind this, there will be a major panic in the city. Batman must take on Poison Ivy before this can happen.
When you make it to the equipment selection screen, you will notice that there is an X next to the Star and the Plastic Explosive options. You will not be able to use anything that has an X to it in the current stage. Be sure to bring the Spray Gun and Smoke Bombs; they will be extremely useful.
The women in the blue and black armor are the generic enemies for this stage. Duck down to avoid their attacks, as they will try to spray you with some sort of gas. You cannot defeat them, sadly; you can only stun them with the Batarang. Holding Down and pressing B to roll will make it easier to get away from them. Also, be ready to avoid red spiky balls that fall from above.
You'll eventually come face-to-face with a few giant tree roots. Hit them with three Batarangs in the red, pustule-laden area to defeat them. Remember to block so the tree roots don't damage you.
In the next section, you will be doing some platforming. Be ready to use the Grappling Hook, and use the Smoke Bombs to take out some of the female enemies from afar. As you make it to the top, be ready to jump from tree to tree as the ones with the diagonal branches start falling down from under you. When you see a vine at the top of the screen, be ready to grab onto it with the Grappling Hook to make it to the end of this section.
In the third section, the vines will collapse if you stand on them for too long, so leap your way across them. Use your grappling hook when necessary after this, watching out for branch that fall when you put your weight on them, and you will eventually make it onto solid ground.
As you make your way to the right, the terrain will transform. The worst it can do is slightly irritate you, since no bottomless pits are made and there are no enemies in this section.
In the fourth section, you'll finally be in a huge greenhouse. Use the spray gun on enemies if you need to if you need to refill items, as the battery icons the enemies sometimes drop from being hit by the spray gun will do just that.
There are also trap doors in the floor, and you can either speed through them or take your time. Thankfully, the enemies here come to a dead stop and never walk where they are, so you can figure out where some of them are. Thankfully, the pits are not instant death traps, and if you feel like it, you can stun an enemy and then throw them into the pits, killing them!
You'll eventually catch up to Poison Ivy, who says the Human World does not understand the feelings of the Plant World. Batman chases after Poison Ivy, and tells her that while damage to the environment is a tragedy, it is still wrong of her to threaten the Human World. Poison Ivy does not care about the Human World, and sics an evil Venus flytrap-like monster on Batman.
Duck to avoid the arm as it whips at the air three times, then throw a Batarang at it when it opens its mouth before moving. After three this, be ready to move to avoid the yellow stars that come out of the arm as well as the arm itself when it strikes the ground. Again, throw Batarangs at the mouth when it is open, and stay on the move. When Poison Ivy comes out from behind the boss, duck to avoid the arrows she shoots from her crossbow. After dealing enough hits, you'll eventually take this thing down.
