How to complete the Paranormal Investigator Challenge in LEGO Batman Legacy of the Dark Knight

To complete the Paranormal Investigator Challenge in LEGO Batman: Legacy of the Dark Knight, you need to find the Gentleman Ghost and take a photo of him. The challenge can be confusing because the description does not clearly explain where to go or how to make the ghost appear. Unlike many optional challenges in the game, this one depends on using Photo Mode in the right location.

The Gentleman Ghost is found in Gotham City, inside the East End area. More specifically, you need to go to the Amusement Mile district and head toward the northwest part of that zone. Once you reach the correct spot, do not expect the ghost to appear normally while you are walking around. This is the part that makes the challenge easy to miss.

The Gentleman Ghost only appears after you open Photo Mode in the right place

After reaching the correct location in the northwest part of East End, Amusement Mile, open the Pause Menu and select Photo Mode. Once Photo Mode is active, the Gentleman Ghost should appear. You then need to take a screenshot or photo of him to complete the Paranormal Investigator Challenge.

This means the challenge is not really about fighting, chasing, or solving a long puzzle. The main trick is knowing that Photo Mode is required. If you stand in the right area but never open Photo Mode, you may think the challenge is broken or that you are in the wrong place.

Once the photo is taken, the challenge should clear and you will receive the reward tied to the optional objective. These challenges are useful because they give extra Studs, so completing them can help if you are trying to unlock more upgrades, characters, or other extras.

The important thing to remember is that the Gentleman Ghost is hidden until the game’s camera feature is used. You are not looking for a regular enemy or visible NPC standing in the open world. You are looking for a hidden appearance that is triggered through Photo Mode.

If the challenge does not complete, check your position first. Make sure you are in the northwest section of East End, Amusement Mile, then open Photo Mode again and frame the ghost clearly before taking the shot. Once the game registers the photo, the Paranormal Investigator Challenge will be completed.
