Run 1, Prologue: World of Chaos

Saving and difficulty for the whole run, the Records of Time training and the three Prologue verses, with the first Umbran Tears.

This section covers the short training stretch called the Records of Time and the three verses of the Prologue: a fight on a fighter jet, a boss on a train roof and a boss on a skyscraper. It also sets up the whole run: how the game saves, which difficulty to pick, and one Tear you work on through every cutscene. There is nothing to pick up here, and nothing to buy yet.

How saving works

You can't save by hand. The game writes your file by itself after every verse you clear and at the end of every chapter, and that one file is also your checkpoint. Starting a chapter from Chapter Select replaces the mid-chapter checkpoint, so don't use it to take a break. To stop partway through a chapter, quit to the title screen from the pause menu, then load the file and Continue: you pick up at the last checkpoint. A pickup taken since that checkpoint may not be kept when you quit, so after grabbing something, clear the next verse before you stop. A deleted file is gone for good. (On Wii U the file screen can also copy a file as a backup; on Switch that is not confirmed.)

Run 1 on 2nd Climax

The first time you start Story, the game asks for a difficulty. Pick 2nd Climax, the normal setting. 1st Climax (easy) and 3rd Climax (hard) are also open from the start; ∞ Climax opens once you clear the story on 3rd Climax. Choose 2nd Climax because the Bracelet of Time and Climax Brace 2, the rewards for chapter medals, count medals earned on it (a higher setting may count too, but the guide doesn't rely on that). This run doesn't chase medals; a later section does. The story-clear rewards come on any setting, and pickups, halos and Tears stay on the one file whatever the setting. The other three settings each get a later run in this guide, and you can change the difficulty per chapter from the Chapter Select menu.

Summary
A short playable opening before the Prologue, where you try the controls against angels. It ends in the opening film.

Fight on the fighter jetQuest step
Location
Prologue · Verse 1 – After the opening scene a practice screen lets you try punches, kicks, dodges and Witch Time before the first fight. Then clear the Acceptances on top of the flying jet. In the next scene Rodin throws you a new set of guns, Love Is Blue, for the second group. Angels keep coming until the game moves the scene on after a set time, so just keep fighting. When your magic gauge fills, trigger Umbran Climax for Infernal Weaves and Torture Attacks. The Accolades that follow reach further than the Acceptances, so dodge for Witch Time. When the jet is cut apart, follow the jump prompts across the falling pieces.
Requires
Summary
Verse 1, the tutorial fight. It teaches Umbran Climax, Infernal Weaves and Torture Attacks.

Belief on the trainBoss
Location
Prologue · Verse 2 – You land on the train roof from the jet, and Belief strikes as soon as its introduction ends, so dodge at once. Watch for its long arm, a green spit that sticks you in place until you shake free, and a leap that takes it to the other side. When it clings to the train with its arm, keep hitting the arm until it lets go. After the train is cut apart you finish it with Jeanne on the wreckage: stay off the burning patches, and at the end use Climax to summon Gomorrah, which ends the verse.
Requires
Summary
Verse 2, the Prologue's first big angel, fought on the roof of a speeding train.

Gomorrah on the skyscraperBoss
Location
Prologue · Verse 3 – The fight follows straight on from the train. Gomorrah is slow and every attack is easy to read, so dodge as it winds up and hit back in Witch Time. While it climbs the tower, keep shooting it to hold your combo. Strike at its snout and finish it with another summon; the closing scene ends the Prologue.
Requires
Summary
Verse 3, the Prologue's last fight: a huge demon fought as it climbs a skyscraper.

Keep your halos, and count your kills

The halos you earn in these fights stay on your file. The first thing worth buying is Crow Within, 20,000 halos, which may be on sale as early as Rodin's portal in Chapter I. Four Umbran Tears count kills: 20 angels and 20 demons finished by Torture Attack, and 30 angels and 30 demons killed during Umbran Climax, so use both whenever you can from here on; the guide checks them after the story.

About this guide

Four clears. Run 1 on 2nd Climax walks every chapter and takes every collectible, portal and hidden Verse. A quick 1st Climax clear unlocks one accessory. 3rd Climax and Infinite Climax each need every chapter cleared, and Infinite Climax is the real test. The Witch Trials, medal replays, the Rodin fight on Infinite Climax, and Tag Climax with a CPU partner finish the list.
