A.) INTRODUCTION
*******************************************************************************
This is a guide to finding all collectibles and unlockables in Bayonetta.
The information is presented in this guide in multiple ways so that you may
reference the material in the manner most convenient to you.  The guide begins
with the unlockables listed in chronological order in a "walkthrough" format.
Following this guide like a walkthrough will result in acquiring all of the
unlockables.  Section C, which follows the walkthrough, contains a condensed
(but complete) list of all collectibles and the Chapter (if any) in which
each can be obtained.  Section C is useful as a quick reference or a checklist
for any items you may be missing.  As such, the collectibles listed in Section
C occur in the order they are presented in the game's menus - NOT in
chronological order.
I make no assumptions about whether or not you have played and/or completed
the game before consulting this guide.  If you have not, it is perfectly
acceptable to play through for the first time while following my guide, but I
warn you that it may ruin part of the experience.  Bayonetta is a truly
excellent action game and I recommend playing through it for the first time
without the aid of a walkthrough or guide and without worrying about any
collectibles you may have missed - you can always use Chapter Select to go
back and find everything.
Finally, the order I chose for the walkthrough is what I recommend for a
good balance of speed and fun.  In theory, there are more optimal paths, but
these would be less fun.  For example, you could complete Easy difficulty
first for the Immortal Marionette, then use that accessory for the Normal
difficulty playthrough to make the game essentially play itself - but if you
do, you will be punished for it on Hard difficulty, because you'll need the
practice from playing through Normal on your own to make it through Hard mode.

0.) OVERVIEW
*******************************************************************************
This guide covers the following collectible items:
* WITCH HEARTS:
Witch Hearts increase your maximum vitality.  There are 5 Full Witch
Hearts and 40 Broken Witch Hearts (which each count for 1/4 of a Full
Witch Heart).  Full Witch Hearts can be purchased at The Gates of Hell
for 30,000 Halos each; Broken Witch Hearts can be found at various places
throughout the game.  You will know that you have obtained them all when
you have two vitality gauges of equal length.
* MOON PEARLS:
Moon Pearls increase your maximum magic power.  There are 8 Full Moon
Pearls and 16 Broken Moon Pearls (which each count for 1/2 of a Full Moon
Pearl).  Full Moon Pearls can be purchased at The Gates of Hell for 30,000
Halos each; Broken Moon Pearls can be found at various places throughout
the game.  You will know that you have obtained them all when you have
three rows of eight in your magic gauge (or two large pearls and one row
of eight small ones).
* WITCH TOMBS:
Witch Tombs (or "Umbra Witches' final resting places", as the game calls
them) are simply treasure chests.  Some contain Broken Witch Hearts or
Broken Moon Pearls, while others contain more mundane items.  You will
know that you have obtained them all when you receive the "Treasure
Fanatic" Trophy/Achievement.
* ANTONIO'S NOTES:
Antonio's Notes are scraps of paper scattered about the game with the sole
purpose of exposing more story to the player (similar to "Intel" or
"Reports" from other games).  The contents of each note can be read under
"Files" in the Select Button menu (this screen is also useful to see which
notes you may be missing).  You will know that you have obtained them all
when you receive the "Truth in its Purest Form" Trophy/Achievement.
* ALFHEIMS:
Alfheims are similar to Secret Missions from the Devil May Cry series:
they are self-contained, bonus combat challenges.  The reward for
completing an Alfheim is always a Broken Witch Heart or a Broken Moon
Pearl.  There are 21 Alfheim portals hidden throughout the game.  You will
know that you have completed them all when you receive the "Angel Slayer"
Trophy/Achievement (also, you must complete them all to max out your
vitality and magic gauges).
* TROPHIES / ACHIEVEMENTS:
Like most games nowadays, Bayonetta awards Trophies (PS3) / Achievements
(XBOX360) for accomplishing various goals.  In addition, whenever you
receive a Trophy/Achievement, you are awarded an Umbran Tear of Blood, and
these count towards the 101 total (see below).
* UMBRAN TEARS OF BLOOD:
Umbran Tears of Blood play the role of the "bonus collectible" that so
many games are experimenting with nowadays.  There are 101 of them total.
The first 50 are awarded for unlocking the 50 Trophies/Achievements, and
the other 51 are hidden throughout the game in the form of black crows
with red auras.  Grab the crow before it flies away to obtain the Umbran
Tear of Blood (if you don't catch it in time, just backtrack and it will
return).  You can check which Umbran Tears of Blood you have found and
which you haven't under "Files", "Rarities" in the Select Button menu.
* WEAPONS / LPS:
No action game is complete without a veritable smattering of weapons, and
Bayonetta delivers.  Some weapons you will obtain automatically; others
are traded for "LPs" (Long-Playing albums) that must be found within the
game, and yet others are awarded for completing certain tasks.  The
walkthrough that follows this section will cover each weapon as it is
obtained; Section C.8 lists all the weapons and briefly describes where
and how to obtain them.
* ACCESSORIES:
Like weapons, accessories are unlocked via a hodgepodge of different
methods.  Most accessories are available from the start and must be
purchased from The Gates of Hell.  When an accessory is unlocked, it is
added to the list at The Gates of Hell and must still be purchased.  The
walkthrough that follows this section will cover each accessory as it is
obtained; Section C.9 lists all the accessories and briefly describes
where and how to obtain them.
* CHARACTERS:
Besides Bayonetta herself, there are two playable characters that can be
unlocked.  To avoid spoilers, I won't mention who they are here, but
beware, they *are* mentioned in the walkthrough and in Section C.10.
When a new character is unlocked, you must start a New Game to use the
character - save your game to a different save slot to retain your
completion status with Bayonetta.
*******************************************************************************
1.) FIRST PLAYTHROUGH - NORMAL DIFFICULTY
*******************************************************************************
The goal for this playthrough is to obtain all Witch Hearts, Moon Pearls,
Witch Tombs, Antonio's Notes, and Alfheims (maybe).  We will also be grabbing
Umbran Tears of Blood 51 through 68, as well as any scenario-specific
Trophies/Achievements.
If at any point things start getting difficult (particularly the Alfheims),
feel free to skip to Section 2 for the Easy difficulty playthrough, then
return here when you are done there.  You may also consider returning for the
Alfheims after you have otherwise maxed out.
Finally, if this isn't your first time through (and I recommend that it
isn't), you probably have a bunch of this stuff already (and you definitely
have everything marked "Automatic"); but for completeness, everything is
listed.
Note: To play through a second time, do not start a New Game!  Continue from
your existing game and use the Chapter Select and Difficulty options in the
Chapter Submenu instead.

just proceed down the walkway and come back for this after Verse 7.

- During Verse 7, your opponent will constantly throw slow flaming boulders
at you with regular timing.  This is the perfect opportunity to get 10
consecutive Witch Time dodges for this Trophy/Achievement.

the air.

come careening toward you.  Simply double jump over it for the
Trophy/Achievement.

toward the direction it came from.  The gate is now broken, and behind it

(Note: If you don't have "The Crow Within", purchase it before beginning the
next Chapter.  You'll need it to score one of the items.)

1.9) CHAPTER 9: PARADISO - A REMEMBRANCE OF TIME
+ UMBRAN TEARS OF BLOOD 61
- From the first area, cross the set of floating platforms, but don't jump

right.  The crow is here.
+ WITCH TOMB 21: BROKEN WITCH HEART 21
- From where you got Umbran Tears of Blood 61, stay outside the checkered
stone wall and go the opposite direction (left instead of right).  The

easiest way to do this is to equip the Onyx Roses for your upper weapon

in time with the Onyx Roses, try to smack into their bulbs on the way
down.

2.) SECOND PLAYTHROUGH - EASY DIFFICULTY (TROPHIES/ACHIEVEMENTS)
*******************************************************************************
The goal for the second playthrough is to simply complete the game for the
Immortal Marionette accessory and pick up any Trophies/Achievements we missed
on the first playthrough, as well as several others.  Finally, we are
familiarizing ourselves with all the Chapters again in order to prepare for
the next playthrough (the speed run).
Note: To play through again, do not start a New Game!  Continue from your
existing game and use the Chapter Select and Difficulty options in the Chapter
Submenu instead.
*************************************
2.1) TROPHY/ACHIEVEMENT HUNTING
Consider this section complete once you have gained all the
Trophies/Achievements listed below, as well as all of them mentioned in
Section 1 - use the Find/Search feature of your browser (usually control+f)
to find the Trophies/Achievements you are missing, or consult Section C for
the complete list.
Almost all of these can be obtained in the Prologue.  By the time you
complete Easy mode, you should have every Trophy/Achievement that doesn't
require you to be on Hard mode or above (and isn't Automatic).
+ TROPHY/ACHIEVEMENT 22: "Feels Good, Doesn't It?"
- Awarded for completing 50 torture attacks.  If you don't have this one
yet, you'll probably get it soon.  Just keep doing torture attacks.
+ TROPHY/ACHIEVEMENT 25: "PLATINUM!"
- Awarded for earning 10 Platinum Medals in 10 different battles.  You
should be getting a lot of Platinum Medals in Easy mode (unequip the
Immortal Marionette to improve your combo scores).
+ TROPHY/ACHIEVEMENT 26: "Double, Double, Toil And Trouble"
- Awarded for creating 20 Concoctions.  Can't get much simpler.
+ TROPHY/ACHIEVEMENT 27: "Tread Not So Softly"
- Awarded for defeating an enemy by jumping on top of them.  Just keep
trying at this one and you'll get it quickly.
+ TROPHY/ACHIEVEMENT 28: "Nice And Relaxed"
- Awarded for parrying 10 enemy attacks with the Moon of Mahaa-Kalaa
equipped.  It's easiest to do this in the Prologue, where the enemies
are weak.  To parry, press the left control stick toward the enemy as
their attack is about to land.
+ TROPHY/ACHIEVEMENT 29: "Touch And It Will Hurt"
- Awarded for countering 10 enemy attacks with the Moon of Mahaa-Kalaa
equipped.  A counter is performed the same way as a parry, except the
timing is more strict - you must parry at the last possible moment.
+ TROPHY/ACHIEVEMENT 30: "Touch And It Will REALLY Hurt"
- Awarded for countering three enemy attacks consecutively with the Moon
of Mahaa-Kalaa equipped.  One of the harder Trophy/Achievements to
obtain, this one is easiest if you defeat all enemies except one in an
area and attempt to counter all of its attacks.
+ TROPHY/ACHIEVEMENT 31: "Come Here, Little Boy"
- Awarded for taunting and defeating five angered enemies while taking no
damage.  It's easier than it sounds - do it in the Prologue.  You can
equip the Gaze of Despair Accessory to cause the enemies to be
pre-taunted.
+ TROPHY/ACHIEVEMENT 32: "Wicked Weaver"
- Awarded for executing a Wicked Weave attack while using Dodge Offset.
You probably already have this one.  If not, simply use Punch, Kick,
Dodge (while holding Kick), Punch.
+ TROPHY/ACHIEVEMENT 33: "Wicked Weave Master"
- Awarded for executing 20 Wicked Weave attacks while using Dodge Offset.
Same as the previous Trophy/Achievement; do it 20 times.
+ TROPHY/ACHIEVEMENT 34: "The Deepest Cut"
- Awarded for defeating 20 enemies using only Iai-Jutsu with Shuraba.
Hold the Punch button to charge, then release to perform Iai-Jutsu.  Do
this to defeat 20 enemies; simple in Easy mode.
+ TROPHY/ACHIEVEMENT 36: "The Ice Witch"
- Awarded for freezing 20 enemies while wearing Odette.  Simply equip
Odette and use nothing but Kick attacks throughout your Easy playthrough
until this Trophy/Achievement is eventually unlocked.
+ ACCESSORY: Eternal Testimony
- Awarded for obtaining 50 Umbran Tears of Blood.  You should have this by
the time you finish Trophy/Achievement hunting.
+ ACCESSORY: Immortal Marionette
- Awarded for completing all Chapters on Easy difficulty.
*******************************************************************************
3.) THIRD PLAYTHROUGH - NORMAL DIFFICULTY (SPEED RUN)
*******************************************************************************
By now you should be maxed out to this point - two full vitality bars, three
rows of eight magic pearls, and all techniques.  If you aren't, go back and
collect whatever you are missing before starting the third playthrough (now
that you have the Immortal Marionette, many of those Alfheims have suddenly
become much simpler).
The goal for the third playthrough is to get our Normal completion time
below three hours in order to unlock the Bracelet of Time accessory.
Completion time for the game is the sum of your completion times per Chapter;
Completion time per Chapter is calculated from the sum of the time spent in
Verses.  This means you can simply replay Chapters and update your time at
the end to improve your overall score - there's no need to replay through the
entire game.
