===================
1.) Introduction
===================
Howdy and welcome the XBox 360 version of my Bayonetta guide. I'll just get
straight to it. I love Bayonetta. I'm loving every minute I play it and it's
probably my favorite 360 game and one of my favorite action games ever. That's
just how good it is but that's just one man's opinion. It's an easy "pick up
and play" type of game but at the same time it's not such a pushover of a game.
This guide will cover the game and hopefully when I find everything, all of
the Broken Witch Hearts, Broken Moon Pearls and stuff like that will be
included in the walkthrough and/or in their appropriate sections.

3.) Walkthrough
===================
NOTE: All of the Alfheim Portals, Broken Witch Hearts, Broken Moon Pearls and
Umbra Chests are in the walkthrough itself. You can either use that as you play
or you can use the sections solely meant for those items if you want to.
NOTE 2: All directions are based off the camera being set behind Bayonetta.
So when I say "go right", it means that there's a path to your right when
the camera is set behind you.
Select New Game and select your difficulty. This guide will be based off the
Normal difficulty so strategies and items may differ if you're playing on Easy
or Hard.
During the intro, some narration will go on while you get used to Bayonetta's
moves and whatnot. You can't die here so don't worry.

|   Affinity  |
O-------------O
Watch the scenes and after a bit, you'll control Bayonetta and you'll fight
your first set of enemies in the game, Affinities. They usually carry a
swinging mace, trumpet, or a staff. Their attacks are predictable and easy to
dodge so you shouldn't have any trouble here. After defeating them, another
scene will play out. Run after Enzo and do a double jump over the edge to fight
another batch of Affinities. Once they're taken care of, some more scenes play
out.
Now you'll have to kill some more Affinities but to actually beat this part of
the Prologue, you have to execute three torture attacks in a very laid back
time limit. Once you execute the third torture attack, the Prologue will end
after a few scenes.

After the scene, you'll gain control of Bayonetta. Now, instead of heading
through the gates on the other side of the area, go around the area and destroy
all the benches that you find. There's also a second level to this area so make
sure to jump up there and destroy the benches too. Once all of them are
destoryed, the train will leave so jump back down to the tracks and you'll
find your first [BROKEN MOON PEARL]. Obtaining two of these will increase your
magic meter a bit. KEEP IN MIND THIS IS NOT AVAILABLE ON VERY EASY/EASY. You
can also ride this same train and get 10,000 halos. Thanks to Seth H for
telling me this.
After grabbing your treasure, go through the gates on the other side from
where you started and follow the path until you run into a strange looking
wall or door thing. Attack it until it breaks open and go on through. Keep
going and you'll find a gap to jump across. Instead of jumping it, drop inside
and you'll find an Umbra Chest tucked away in a hole. Attack it until it breaks
open and grab the key that pops out.
Climb back to the top and you'll fight a couple of affinities. Instead of
using your fists and legs, you'll use the key as a weapon. Honestly, I don't
like using the weapons the enemies drop but if you want to, feel free to do
so. Once they're defeated, jump over the gap this time and unlock the door at
the other end. Grab the first Antonio's Document here and examine the broken
statue.
Upon doing so, some Affinities will spawn so take them out. Once they're
defeated, the statue will be magically repaired. That's just how awesome you
are. Push X near the statue and then X again to activate it. The point here is
to dodge the lightning at the last possible second so that you can run across
the water in witch time. Do so and break the wall at the end and it'll turn
into a platform. DO NOT RIDE THIS. Instead, go back to where you found the key
a few rooms back. You'll notice a portal. This is an Alfheim Portal. Going
inside this will lead you to a so called "trial" with stipulations to follow.
This one, all you have to do is defeat all enemies in witch time. It's pretty
easy so do it. There are three waves of enemies: Affinities, Affinities with
an Applaud, and then two Applauds. If you complete it, you'll obtain your
second [BROKEN MOON PEARL].
Go back to that lift now and ride it up. Before going further, I should mention
that you can destroy pretty much everything for money and whatnot. I suggest
breaking everything possible. Now then, go down the hall and you'll find the
Gates of Hell. It's pretty much the shop of the game. I'd suggest buying a
couple of healing items or if you have the money, buy a Witch Heart or a Moon
Pearl, both costing 30,000 Halos each.
When you're done here, you'll find a set of stairs going down. This is where
you're supposed to go BUT before going, move the camera so it's pointing
upwards and you should see a balcony. Jump towards it and you'll find your
first [BROKEN WITCH HEART]. Collect four of these (Zelda anyone?) to increase
your overall Vitality. Jump back down and go down the hall this time. Grab
the second Antonio's Document here and if you explore around the right side
of the central garden, you'll find another Umbra Chest. This contains your
second [BROKEN WITCH HEART]. Now try to exit this area by going straight
ahead the main path and you'll get stopped short.
You'll fight a new enemy here, an Applaud. These are pretty much like
Affinities except that they're a bit more powerful and have more health but
their attacks are easy to dodge. Once you take them out, you'll find another
new enemy, the Beloved. This guy may be big but he's also easy. He'll either
bring his axe back to swing horizontally or he'll bring it over his head and
slam it to the ground. You can see these coming a mile away so dodge them and
try to go into Witch Time to get more hits in. Make sure to keep your distance
though after you hit him because he can reach out to grab you, even if you're
behind him.
After defeating the Beloved, you'll get your first Golden LP. Bring these to
the Gates of Hell to get a new weapon. With that out of the way, continue
on and open the door you come across. Two Affinities will bust through the
windows so take them out. Jump straight up and you'll notice two ledges to your
left and right. Jump on the left one and grab your third [BROKEN WITCH HEART]
and grab anything else up here. Go back down and continue along until a scene
occurs. You'll now be in a flash back and in a mini-boss fight.
All you have to do is just run down the path while dodging the fireballs it
spews out. Once you get to your comrades, wait for the dragon to eat them and
start firing your guns. If one of the heads starts snapping its jaw and shakes
its head, it's going to try to bite you so dodge and attack it. If you see some
fire in its mouth, it's going to shoot out a fireball so dodge them from both
heads. It'll also swing its body around and try to hit you with its tail so
dodge that. It's last attack is that it'll stick both of its heads on the
platform, trying to trap you so that it can blast you with fire. All in all as
long as you can see the heads ready to lunge at you and you can dodge the
fireballs, you'll win this fight easily. It'll end once half of his health is
gone.
Once you regain control, follow the path and grab the Antonio's Document and
visit the Gates of Hell if you want to. Keep going and you'll run into another
Beloved here. It'll break apart the ground and you'll fight it on only the
platform it's holding. He'll often ram it into the wall so when this happens,
dodge before it hits the wall to avoid stumbling. Just keep attacking his hand
and dodging before you hit the wall. After about 3/4's of his health is gone,
the fight will end and you'll be prompted to do a button sequence to reach
safety.
Continue along and you'll run into the Beloved again, only this time he'll be
at half health. Run back up the stairs and wait until he gets near the top to
start attacking him. He'll bring his hand up and slam it into the ground so
make sure to dodge it and try to activate Witch Time to deal more damage.
That's all there is to this fight so just rinse and repeat until he's defeated.
And that's the end of Chapter 1.

After the scene, you'll have to fight Jeanne in a flashback. While this fight
isn't hard, it's still the hardest one you've had to fight so far. The thing
you'll want to keep in mind here is that she'll constantly knock you away if
you combo for too long so run in, take a few swipes and back away because
there's a good chance she'll attack you after knocking you back, leaving you
temporarily open. She only has about three or so moves. She'll try to slide
into you, she'll swing her sword around and she'll jump in the air and try
to kick you. All of these are easily avoidable and you can see when they're
coming so you shouldn't have any trouble here.
After the fight, you'll return to the present and now you'll be able to run
up walls when the time calls for it. Go ahead and start running up the wall
but before going to the next area, you should see two statues near the top.
Destroy the left one to obtain a [BROKEN WITCH HEART]. Keep going across the
wall and you'll run into a new enemy, a Dear & Decorations. These guys are
hardly dangerous because all they do is shoot a fireball at you. They'll
sometimes put up a barrier but you can break it by attacking it. You'll fight
some Affinities with them so be wary.
Follow the wall until you see a opening. Once you come to it, your witch walk
will wear off so you're left no choice but to go through the door in front of
you. Head down the hall and grab the next Antonio's Document along the way. Go
back and use the statues that you passed and open the door at the end. If you
don't use witch time, you won't be able to go through this door so make sure
to be in it when you attack it. Eventually you'll reach the center of Vigrid.
Look around the right side of the area to find a chest containing an Arcade
Bullet. Now turn around and set the camera behind you and you'll find a little
opening with an Antonio's Document in it. Grab it but before leaving, look
behind you and you'll find a [BROKEN WITCH HEART] floating in the air near the
ceiling. Grab it.
Head to the center of Vigrid and a scene will play. You'll fight a mix of
Affinities and Applauds. Once you defeat them, a Beloved will come out to play
with you. Once you take off about 3/4's of its health it'll run away so don't
worry about killing it. Head under the tunnel where the barrier broke and start
going down the hill at the other end. A train will go out of control and start
crashing towards you. Jump over it (For some reason, you get an achievement for
this) and you'll fight a new enemy, an Enchant. Once the battle start,
immediately dodge as the Enchant will hit you if you don't. All they do is
roll around and when they set themselves on fire, they'll charge at you so
just keep attacking them to prevent that.
Now, before proceeding, go back up the hill and you'll notice the gate that
the train was near is broken. Go through it and you'll find the next Alfheim
Portal. This one can be pretty nasty but overall it's not too bad. You're
restricted to using seven punches and six kicks to take out a Beloved. If
you're using your Scarborough's still, prolong your combos by holding down
the button you're pushing to shoot your guns and do the same thing after
each attack in your combo. For winning, you'll get a [BROKEN MOON PEARL].
Now go back to where the train is burning like the little bitch it is and
you'll notice a path to your left. DON'T GO THROUGH IT JUST YET. Instead jump
up to find a small bridge. This is where the next Alfheim portal is. This one
is super easy. You have no restrictions. You just have to kill all the enemies
in the time limit you're given. When you win, you'll get a [BROKEN WITCH HEART]
and you're set to go. Now continue on and you'll find some Enchants. Once you
take them out, that Beloved from earlier will come back out. Start attacking it
and once you take out about 3/4's of its health, a second Beloved will join
the battle. It's still not hard as you can see their attacks coming from a mile
away. Once they're defeated, a Gold LP will appear so grab it. If you go to
the left and right from the center of the area you're in, you'll find two
chests. Open them up. There's also an Antonio's Document up the stairs near
one of the chests.
Before advancing any further, run all the way back as far as you can and you'll
find the next Alfheim Portal. This one is tricky since you have to kill six
enemies with Torture Attacks. Put on the Scarborough's and use weak combos and
dodge attacks to activate witch time to gain more magic. For winning, you'll
get a [BROKEN MOON PEARL]. Once you're done, head back to where you were before
and follow the path that the barrier was blocking before and you'll end up in
a plaza type area. To your left is a door with two statues, one of them broken.
Head to the right then and down the stairs and you'll have to fight two
Applauds. Once they're defeated open the chest near the wall for another
[BROKEN MOON PEARL]. Before going back up the stairs and to where those two
statues are, turn look behind you and up. You'll find an area to jump up at.
Do so and jump to the top of the tree up there to find your next
[BROKEN WITCH HEART].
Now go back to those two statues and pick up the Antonio's Document near them.
Lift up one of the statues but don't activate it just yet. Instead run all the
way down to where the wall is and then activate it to enable witch time. Break
the wall so it forms into a bridge and then quickly run across it. Enter the
church on the other side and a scene will play out and you'll find a face that
you're sure to remember.
This fight is pretty simple. The dragon only has two attacks. It'll shoot a
fireball at you and it'll try to eat you. You'll know when he's going to lunge
in to attack when he snaps his jaws twice. When he does this, try to dodge him
at the last second to enable witch time and attack him. You'll know when his
fireball is coming when fire forms in his mouth. When you take off enough
health then the other head will come into play but he's there to aid so you
can't hurt it. The second head has the same attack patterns as the head you're
fighting does so watch its patterns and dodge accordingly. Once you take off
enough health it'll fly away. Pay attention because once the fight is over,
you'll have to push the button that appears on the screen, otherwise you'll
die.

O-------------O------------------O------------------O------------O
After the scene and you gain control of Bayonetta, head back from where you
start and some Affinities will appear, only these ones are on fire. Rushing
in to attack them won't do you any good as they'll only hurt you with the
fire alone. How do you defeat them then? Either use your guns or go into witch
time. The latter is quicker but make sure to watch out for the lava spots.
When they're gone, go to where you were heading and go up the stairs. There's
a trash can near some rubble here. Destroy the trash can. Trust me on this.
Now head to the center of the area and go to the right to find a chest that
has an Angel Bullet in it. Turn around from the chest and head up and you'll
find an Alfheim Portal here. What you have to do here is stay in the air for
20 seconds. This is way too easy. All you have to do is jump off the Dears
that are sent at you and to make it easier, just hold down X to fire your guns
as you slowly drift down to cheat a bit. You get a [BROKEN MOON PEARL] for
winning.
After that's done or if you give up, head to where the barrier was and head
under the tunnel. Turn to your right and go down hill. As you do lava will
start flowing out so you're left to run away. Ignore the Beloveds that you
come across as you run away. The lava will kill them. After the second Beloved,
jump over the gap and head down to reach safety. Head to the center of the next
area and you'll find a new enemy, a Fairness. As soon as the battle starts
it'll spew a fireball that goes pretty damn fast so dodge it. The Fairness
can be a bit annoying but overall it's not too bad. If you get close to it,
it'll lunge back and then either swipe at you or put you in its mouth and
chew you up. It'll also roar to temporarily freeze you and then it'll either
roll into you or shoot a fireball.
Once the Fairness is taken care of, grab the half Gold LP that appears. Stand
in the center of the area and you'll find a chest to your west and a chest
to your east. They just contain Halos and jewels so get them if you want. As
you start going down the main path and reach that plaza type area again,
the door to your left will blow open but don't go over there just yet. Instead
jump over the lava to your right and go down the stairs. Remember the Broken
Witch Heart that was at the top of the tree on the balcony above you? There's
an Alfheim Portal up here this time.
This one is pretty easy as well. You'll get some Angel Arms to use and you have
to use them to kill the enemies here. I recommend using the double blades as
they do a lot of damage and hit a wide area. You get a [BROKEN WITCH HEART] for
winning. Hooray! When you're done here, head back up to where that door blew
off near the two statues. Lift one of the statues and activate it to enable
witch time. Wait for the lava to subside before jumping through the door.
Ignore the Affinities that appear as they're about to die anyways. After the
small scene you'll end up on the wall, which means it's time to abuse witch
walk again.
Head along the wall and some Affinities will appear. Take them out and continue
on until you can't run across the wall anymore. Go down and drop down on the
rock that's on the lava and cross over to the next wall. Jump over the floors
that break apart and cross the next rock on the lava when you come across it
and jump on the next wall. Just keep following the main path until some lava
starts to chase you again. Drop down to the platform on the lava and cross it.
Jump on the building and run up it. Once you reach the top, you'll have to push
the button that appears on the screen. Continue on and grab the Antonio's
Document you see along the way and head to the center of the next area.
This time you'll fight two Fairnesses. They're not that bad. They'll slowly
creep up on you so run up to one and just before it lunges at you, dodge to
activate witch time and start attacking them. Rinse and repeat. After the
scene, instead of going forward, turn around and put the camera behind you to
find a small pathway. Follow it to find an Umbra Chest at the end that contains
a [BROKEN MOON PEARL]. Go back and follow the main path this time and you'll
fight a few more Affinities that apparently enjoy playing in fire. Take them
out the same way you did before and keep going until you find a Gates of Hell
sitting to your left.
Once you enter the Catacombs, head right and just follow the path, picking up
the Antonio's Document along the way and ignoring the portal to your left when
you come across it. Once you come across a big stone bridge, attempt to cross
it but some rocks will break it so run back to that portal you ran past a few
seconds ago. Take out the Affinities that appear and the portal will activate.
Enter it to find Paradiso. Head straight ahead and ignore the two statues for
now and drop down to the lower level. Now turn around and set the camera behind
you to find two paths that split. Take the right path first and follow it to
the end to find the other half of that Gold LP you got earlier. Go back to
where that split was and take the left path this time to find the next Alfheim
Portal. This one is pretty simple. You have to kill all the enemies but you
don't have witch time. Once you win, you'll get a [BROKEN MOON PEARL].
Go back to where those two statues were and activate them this time. Once in
you're in witch time, jump across the two water spouts to reach the other
side. If you go right at the split, you'll find your next [BROKEN WITCH HEART].
Keep going right and jump behind the wall until you find a Mega Green Herb
Lollipop tucked away in a small grove. Go back to the split and activate the
lever near that big stone wall. You'll obtain an hourglass but don't use it.
Go back to where the portal is and go back through it and go back to where that
stone bride broke apart. Use the hourglass here and the bridge will become
whole again.
Don't proceed across the bridge just yet, though. Start retracing your steps
and going backwards and you'll eventually find another Alfheim Portal. This
one took me forever to find and I was pissed when it was that simple to find.
Anyways, the stipulation here is that you have to use Wicked Weaves to damage
your enemies. Anything else will knock you back. Equip the Shuraba and use
the Y,B,Y combo to use a quick wicked weave to knock back the enemies. You get
a [BROKEN WITCH HEART] for winning this one. Once you're done here, go back to
where that big bridge is and cross it this time. Ignore the enemies chasing you
as they'll disappear once the rocks break the bridge again. As you run across
the bridge, it'll start to break apart so jump across the bridge parts when
you need to. At the very end, run to the top of the last bridge piece and
you'll get the option to jump. Do so.
Follow the path here and dodge the lava streams that come out of the ground.
Eventually you'll have to climb a few rocks to reach the top of an area.
Once you reach the top and the area behind you is destroyed, go left first to
find an Umbra Chest containing a [BROKEN WITCH HEART]. Go back and enter the
cave this time. At the very end you'll find a long wall leading up and out of
the catacombs. Start climbing this wall while dodging the falling rocks until
you reach the top. When you do reach the top, proceed a bit up and you'll
notice a big ass rock to your left. There's a path behind it so follow it to
find another Umbra Chest that has a [BROKEN WITCH HEART] in it. Continue on
to find an Antonio's Document on the stairs. Now just climb the stairs and the
Chapter will end.

| Chapter 4: The Cardinal Virtue of Fortitude |
O---------------------------------------------O
O-------------O
| New Enemies |
O-------------O
|  Fortitudo  |
O-------------O
Remember that big dragon you faced a couple of times before but never got to
kill? Yup, that's Fortitudo and this time, it's a fight to the death. This
fight has three parts to it but they're all pretty simple. The fight starts
off with Fortitudo obviously having both heads and you'll be up on a platform.
It has three main attacks while you're up here; It'll either shoot fireballs
at you, it'll try to eat you, and it'll swing around and try smacking its tail
into you.
The fireballs it spews are REALLY fast so make sure to dodge them immediately
once you see they're ready to come out. When he lunges in to attack, he'll only
do one quick snap this time before trying to hurt you. Try to enable witch
time for this to maxamize your damage. You should be able to see the tail
swing coming from a mile away so don't worry too much about that. Now, if you
happen to get caught in Fortitudo's mouth, rotate the left stick when it
appears on the screen and you'll break free and drop to the lower level. Get
back up. Hit his heads and once you do enough damage, he'll fall to the ground,
momentarily stunned. Take this time to jump down and grab him by pushing Y and
B together. Once you slam him into the ground, start attacking him before he
gets back up.
You'll now be on the lower level to fight him. He'll jump in the air and the
dragon heads will either dive straight down and get stuck in the ground or
he'll jump and both heads will take a swipe at you. If the former happens,
get in as many attacks as you can. He'll still shoot fireballs at you as well
so make sure to dodge those immediately since they're still fast. Once you
get his attack patterns down then this fight becomes too simple for you.
After taking out nearly 3/4's of his first health bar, Fortitudo will fly
up to the top of the Coliseum and spew down a huge fire beam. When he does
this, quickly find a small pile of rubble that has a hourglass on it to
prevent getting hurt by the lava that comes out of the ground. The ground will
then break apart and if you're standing on one of those small hills, you'll
be on a rock. Jump across the rocks until you reach the top and grab Fortitudo
to bring him down. Keep mashing X as you'll be slamming him three times before
tearing off the first head.
Once he goes back to the top of the Coliseum and spews out another giant lava
beam, head to one of those small hills again but this time, use the hourglass
so that the lava disappears and that the higher platform comes back. You'll
automatically be back up there. The attack pattern is the same as before except
this time, the lone head will spew out two fireballs instead of one. After you
do enough damage, it'll be momentarily stunned so jump down, grab, and attack.
Fortitudo uses the same attack pattern down here again so avoid his attacks and
when he gets ready to spew a giant lava beam, get on one of those small hills
and jump across the rocks to grab the other head. Once you tear off the other
head, it's time for the third part of the fight.
You'll have five minutes to finish Fortitudo off now but he's still easy to
take out. He'll generally ram into the side of the platform you're on. When he
does this, rush in and start attacking him. After a few seconds the ground will
light up underneath you. Start dodging since three spikes will come out of the
ground. Once the third one comes out, go back to attacking him. He'll either
pull away or shoot a huge light beam at you. If the latter happens, dodge and
go back to attacking. If you don't finish him off here, he'll either ram into
the side of the platform again, or he'll fly into the air and try to land on
you or he'll fly directly at you. Once you take off the remainder of his
health, he'll go to swing his tail but it'll go in slow motion when it gets
near you. Use Climax to finish this fight and obtain an achievement.

Once the chapter begins, grab the Antonio Document in your vision and follow
the path and jump across the bridge as it breaks apart. Take out the
Decorations that come to attack you and keep treading along and you'll reach
an area with a staircase to your left. Approach it and a new enemy will
come out to play, Grace & Glory. There are actually two enemies and these guys
are the toughest enemies you've faced so far. They're very agile and can get
their attacks off quickly so make sure you don't get pincered between them
and dodge constantly. Avoid them if they try to uppercut you in the air as
that's their most deadly attack. Just constantly dodge and you should be able
to take them out.
After you win, you'll obtain one-third of an LP. Before continuing forward,
go back all the way to the beginning of the level to find the next Alfheim
Portal. All you have to do is use witch time for this one so it's not hard.
The enemies are just a tad tougher but nothing you can't handle. You get a
[BROKEN MOON PEARL] for winning. Head back to where you fought Grace & Glory
and climb the staircase this time. Some Affinities will block your path. You
can either fight them or run past them. I'd suggest doing the latter. Continue
along and a scene will trigger.
After the scene, you'll encounter a new enemy, Fearless. He fights exactly like
Fairness, except he can use his tail as a weapon. Other than that they fight
a like so take him out. After you win, just follow the path as per usual and
some Affinities and an Applaud will appear. Take them out with the same
strategies as before. You'll eventually reach a ramp leading up to a portal
looking thing. Grab the Antonio Document here and turn the device to your left
to activate the portal. Run up the ramp and jump through. Dodge the enemies
as you soar to your next destination.
Once you land, you'll fight Grace & Glory again so use the same strategy you
used last time. After defeating Grace & Glory again, a new enemy will appear;
Harmony. You'll fight three of them. These guys for the most part are pretty
timid. When you see electricty around them, back off as they're about to
attack. They can also shoot lightning balls at you and send out three big
lightning balls that you can easily dodge. You shouldn't have too much trouble
with these guys. After defeating them you'll get the second piece of the
current LP you have. Around this area there's a chest containing a
[BROKEN WITCH HEART]. It's in plain sight so you can't honestly miss it.
Start climbing the stairs in front of you and dodge the wind currents that come
at you. You can do this by either jumping over them, dodging them or sitting
in a safe spot. You can see where they'll go by the shadow on the ground. As
you go further up the stairs, you'll eventually spot the Gates of Hell on your
right. Directly to the left of it, there's a ledge where you can drop down.
There's an Antonio Document here as well as a chest containing a [BROKEN MOON
PEARL]. Jump back to the main stairwell and climb to the top. Once you reach
the top platform, push the button that appears on your screen.
Enter the building right in front of you and start climbing the stairs. Once
you reach the top, a new enemy will appear, Ardor. There are actually two of
them that you'll have to fight. They're pretty much buffed up versions of
Applauds except they're stronger and a bit smarter but their attacks are easy
to dodge as you can pretty much see them coming before they use them. Once
they're defeated, you'll be able to use witch walk now. Climb to the top of
the stairs and jump on the wall. There should be an opening near you so enter
it and start running up the wall. Avoid the light that forms on the floor since
it damages you. Near the top you'll fight three or for Harmonies.
Once you kill the Harmonies, drop down all the way back down to the bottom
and you'll find the next Alfheim Portal. This one is a bit nasty since you have
to stay in the air for 60 seconds. A cheap way to do this is to equip your
trusty whip, Kulshedra. What you should do is jump in the air, push and hold
the Y button to pull in a nearby enemy and jump off them. Repeat this process
until the 60 seconds are up. It's cheap, yeah, but it's the best way to
accomplish it. You get a [BROKEN WITCH HEART] for completing this task. Head
back to the tunnel you were climbing earlier and get to the very top. At the
top, jump to the very top of the room and pull the lever. An opening will
appear above you so jump through it and examine the broken statue on the
other side of the room.
You'll fight Grace & Glory in here. This fight can actually be a bit more
difficult since you're fighting in such a small area rather than on a large
platform outside so make sure to pay close attention to where they're at.
Once they're defeated, lift up one of the statues and drop back down to the
lower level and activate the statue near the wall. Open it up and go through.
You'll be outside with a small platform in front of you with two ways to go.
Go right first. The path leads downwards but at the end of it is the next
Alfheim Portal.
This one is more annoying than hard due to the fact you have to fight a
Glory and Grace using a maximum of 10 punches and seven kicks. However it
becomes easier if you use Shuraba. If you charge it up and hit them with it,
it'll do a decent amount of damage so you shouldn't have to use all 10 punches
up. When the fight first starts, push Y immediately and charge until both of
them get near you and unleash it. From there on out it's recommended to go
into witch time before trying it again. You get a [BROKEN WITCH HEART] for
winning.
Start climbing up the platform now and dodge the wind currents as they come at
you. As you start getting near the top, a fountain will appear on your left.
Jump over to it when you can and you'll find an Antonio Document and a chest
behind the pillar containing the third piece of the LP for this Chapter. Jump
back to the main path and continue going up, jumping as the bridge breaks
apart. Once you reach the top, you'll fight a new enemy, Inspired. To make
this fight easy, start shooting at it with your guns as it floats around the
area. Once you do enough damage it'll crash down to where you are and it'll
be stunned so run in and get a few hits in. Now it'll start shooting fireballs
at you so try to enable witch time to get as many hits as you possibly can.
Rinse and repeat. Once its health is gone, rush in and use a Climax to finish
it off.
Follow the path and visit the Gates of Hell if you need to before climbing
the next set of stairs. Grab the Antonio Document and nearby this document
there's a chest containing a [BROKEN WITCH HEART]. Head to the top of the area
and through the door to fight another Inspired. Take him out the same way you
did before. After the fight, break the gate in front of you and continue on
for a scene and a fight.
You'll fight Jeanne here. The only real differences is that she'll use a
wicked weave this time and she has more health. Other than that her attack
patterns are the same as before so you should know how to dodge them. Her
wicked weave takes a bit of time to get used to but you'll know it's coming
when she screams "Burn!" or something along those lines. After defeating her,
you'll have 90 seconds to get to your next destination and you'll get a tiny
"tutorial" about your new powers. Push the RT twice to transform into a beast
and jump across the rocks. Once you reach the last one, a scene will play out
and the Chapter will end.

Right from the beginning, turn around and put the camera behind you to find
a chest just sitting and waiting for you to beat the living hell out of it.
Open it up to find the first of three LP pieces for this Chapter. Turn back
around and start heading down the main path, grabbing the Antonio Document
along the way. Go down the stairs and break the gate blocking your way and some
Affinities and an Ardor will appear. After taking them out, jump to the top
of the left wall to find a chest. Open it up for a [BROKEN WITCH HEART]. Jump
back down and head to where the gate was. Now turn into a beast and run across
all three switches and past the door before it shuts.
In this room, go forward a bit and drop down to the lower level of the area.
Head left and you should see a bunch of rocks that look different than the
other ones around here. Break them to reveal a chest that has the second piece
of the LP for this Chapter. Head to the center of the room now and examine the
broken statue. Doing so will activate two Inspired. Use the same strategy you
used last time to take them out. Once they're defeated, go activate the statue
and jump across the water in witch time.
Once you enter the building and turn the next corner, some Dear and Decorations
will come at you so waste them and continue on. You'll soon be in a hallway
with spike traps and a door at the end. Carefully navigate the spikes and once
you reach the end, break the rocks and pull the lever here. Affinities and an
Applaud will appear so wipe them out. Once you do that, start backtracking to
the room where you fought the two Inspireds. There's an Alfheim Portal here.
This one frustrated me to hell and back. You have to execute five Torture
Attacks. The first wave of enemies you'll face are three Applauds so this
should be easy enough. Torture Attack all three to death. The next wave of
enemies are Harmonies. Avoid getting hit here as your magic will deplete if
you get hit. Once you Torture Attack two of them, equip stronger weapons and
take the rest out. The next enemy is a Grace and Glory and finally the final
wave of enemies is a Fearless and Fairness. You can only get hit three times so
be wary of your surroundings. You get a [BROKEN MOON PEARL] for winning.
Head back to the room with the spike traps. Turn into a beast and run over all
three buttons to open the door and quickly run under it before it closes. Grab
the Antonio Document sitting over here and you'll run into a battle with two,
TWO Grace & Glory. Once you take care of them, continue on and you'll reach
a bridge. Four Affinities will appear. Take out the first two and then approach
the next two and the bridge will break and those two Affinities will fall to
their doom. Try to go back and three Applauds will block your path. Once you
take care of them, get enough running room and transform into a beast and
double jump over the big gap. Open the door on the other side for a scene.
You can get an achievement here if you manage to kill all the enemies without
the little girl taking any damage. You'll fight several waves of Affinities
with one Applaud at the end. If you want this achievement, lure the Affinities
away from her as they don't go after her. Once they're taken care of, a scene
will play out. Open the door and grab the Antonio Document. Go up the stairs
and some Affinities will appear but these ones are invisible so grab anything
you can find. Lamp posts, dumpsters, anything to hurt them as your normal
weapons won't do shit against them. Once they're taken care of, enter the
building.
A giant enemy will appear here so you have to escape while protecting Cereza.
Grab anything you can find as you run away such as dumpsters and lamp posts
and chuck them at the enemy to slow him down. Break down the gates that get
in your way and repeat this process until you get out safely. Grab the
Antonio Document sitting out in the open and enter the portal at the end of
this area. After the scene, you'll have to fight a Fearless and a Fairness.
Try to get Cereza out of the way while you're attacking these two but that's
easier said than done. Thankfully her health regenerates if she gets hit so
it's not TOO bad.
Follow the path after the fight and you'll see that giant enemy from before.
This is a Beloved but this guy is a bit different from the other ones you've
faced so far. He's more agile and has a few other attacks he can use. He can
summons fireballs from the sky and he'll often slam his axe into the ground to
damage you with a shockwave. If he summons fireballs, just stand behind him
if you can and the fireballs will hit him and hurt him instead of you. Other
than that it's the same old ordeal.
After you finish off the Beloved, it's time for a chase scene. Enter the
building in front of you and dodge the lasers as they come at you. You CANNOT
dodge them with RT so you have to run to the side of them or jump over them.
Once no more are coming, transform into a beast and run the rest of the way.
If you're too slow it'll be Game Over. Once you reach the end, a dance off
will occur and you'll have to fight yourself.
This fight is actually a bitch and a half as your clone is pretty quick and
isn't hesitant in using some damaging attacks. Most of the time she'll slide
or use some green like ribbon to hurt you so constantly dodge. After taking off
all her health, a new enemy will appear, Joy. She fights just like when she
was taking your form. She's very agile and strong so dodge whatever she tosses
at you and finish her off. After the fight you'll get the final piece of the LP
for this Chapter. Grab the Antonio Document and before using the portal to
exit, check behind it to find a chest containing a [BROKEN WITCH HEART]. Now
exit Paradiso and grab the Antonio Document out here. Continue on for a scene
and the chapter will end.

Bayonetta may be on to something when she claims she's a "fucking celebrity"
around here. After some scenes, it's time to fight the second boss in the game,
Temperantia, or a giant vacuum cleaner. Take your pick. You'll be standing on
a small platform once the battle starts. He only has a few attacks. He'll
either bring his fist pack and punch at you or he'll grab onto the platform
with one arm and either shoot projectiles directly at you or he'll shoot them
at the platform to destory it. If the latter happens, you'll get the option to
jump to another platform.
If he grabs the platform, start attacking his hand that's on it. Just keep
repeating this process and after you deal enough damage, he'll destroy the
platform you're on so push the button that appears on screen and you'll jump
and land on his arm. Run up his arm avoiding any projectiles. You're looking
for a gaint shining core on his arm. Once you reach it, some blue spikes will
form in the air so back off momentarily and dodge these and then go back and
attack the core. After dealing enough damage, use your Climax attack to tear
his arm off.
The process is the same for the second arm. Once it grabs hold of the platform,
keep attacking it while avoiding the projectiles from his head. Once you do
enough damage, again you'll get a chance to land on his arm. Repeat the same
procedure as last time until his arm snaps off. The last part of this fight
really doesn't have a time limit, but it'd be better to finish him off as
quickly as possible.
You have to find and destroy the remaining orbs on his body. You can find where
they are by following the energy source from his head. When you get near a
core, those blue spikes will form again so back off, dodge them and go back
to attacking the core. Once you destroy all of them, the shield around his head
will disperse and you can finish this fight by attacking the head. He has three
attacks now. He'll shoot several laser beams at you, followed by shooting out
a wind current around his head to protect himself which lasts for about three
seconds, and then he'll shoot a gaint beam in a circle. He'll repeat this
process until he dies. All of these attacks are easily dodgable so just keep
attacking his head and use Climax once his health is gone.

This is pretty much the "Beep Beep I'mma Jeep" level. After the scenes, you'll
be on top of a car along with some Affinities and two Applauds. The Applauds
