In **LEGO Batman: Legacy of the Dark Knight**, players frequently encounter issues where Puzzle Room icons (both Riddler and Cluemaster) do not appear on the Gotham City map. This is rarely a permanent bug and is usually tied to specific gameplay progression requirements or district-specific prerequisites.
## Why Puzzle Rooms Are Missing From the Map
There are four primary reasons why a Puzzle Room icon may be absent from your map:
### 1. Prerequisite Puzzle Box Completion
Unlike standard collectibles, Puzzle Rooms often require you to solve a set number of smaller **Puzzle Boxes** in the open world before the room itself is revealed.
* **Riddler Puzzle Rooms:** Typically require solving 3–5 Riddler Puzzle Boxes within that specific district.
* **Cluemaster Puzzle Rooms:** Often require a cumulative total of Cluemaster boxes across the city (e.g., some rooms won’t appear until you have found 18, 34, or 42 total boxes).
### 2. Sequential Unlocking
The Puzzle Rooms are designed to be completed in a specific order. Solving one Puzzle Room often triggers the radio transmission that reveals the location of the next one. If you skip a room in one district, the subsequent rooms in other districts may remain hidden.
### 3. Story Chapter Locks
Certain districts and their associated Puzzle Rooms are locked behind main story progression:
* **Chapter 1:** Tricorner and East End.
* **Chapter 3:** Gotham Village and Old Gotham West.
* **Chapter 5:** Newtown (Advanced Puzzles).
### 4. The “Riddler vs Cluemaster” Final Room
The 15th and final Puzzle Room, located in **Old Gotham West**, will never appear on the map until you have achieved **100% completion of all 60 Riddler Puzzle Boxes and 60 Cluemaster Puzzle Boxes**.

## How to Reveal Missing Puzzle Rooms
If you have activated the District Towers but the icons are still missing, follow these steps:
### Activate District Towers
Ensure you have hacked the **Waynetech Towers** in every district. While this reveals most icons, Puzzle Rooms are “conditional” icons that only appear once their specific unlock criteria are met.
### Check Your Puzzle Box Counts
Open your collection menu and verify your counts for the district you are in.
* If you are in **The Cauldron**, ensure you have solved all 5 local Cluemaster boxes.
* If you are in **Old Gotham North**, you must complete the “Mirror Mirth” Riddler room in the Cauldron before the next Riddler room appears here.
### Use Pulse Scan (Detective Mode)
If the icon is missing but you are in the correct area, use Batman’s **Pulse Scan**. Puzzle Rooms are physical locations (usually basements or hidden storefronts). The scan will highlight the interactable door handle or the Riddler/Cluemaster logo on the building even if the map icon is glitched.

2. **The Cauldron North (ACE Chemicals):** Appears after completing the Tricorner room.

4. **Old Gotham West:** Available in Chapter 3; located near the docks.

## Troubleshooting Map Glitches
If you have met all requirements and the rooms still do not appear:
* **Toggle Map Filters:** Open the map legend and cycle the filters (All -> Missions -> Collectibles -> All). This often forces the UI to refresh.
* **Enter/Exit a Building:** Enter the Batcave or a completed Story Level and then return to Gotham City. This resets the open-world state.
* **Check for Radio Calls:** Stand still in the district for 30 seconds. Often, a Puzzle Room icon won’t appear until the Riddler or Cluemaster finishes their specific “taunt” dialogue over the radio.
* **Verify Patch Version:** Ensure you are on the latest update. Early versions of *Legacy of the Dark Knight* had a known bug where the **Old Gotham South** Cluemaster icon would disappear if you started a race nearby.
