The Prologue is three verses: a fight on the deck of a cruise ship, then two large enemies one after the other. Your first weapon is handed over during the deck fight, and Gomorrah can be summoned from the second verse on. No pickups are reported here, so the list is the three verses and the chapter's five Bewitchments, the game's own achievement list. Every chapter has five. They stay hidden in the menu until a chapter has been cleared once, but they still count when you earn them on the first play, so go for them now and they will show as done when the list appears.
Difficulty: play this run on Standard. Casual, Standard and Expert are open from the start, and Bewitchments count on any of them. You can change difficulty at any time, but set it before you start a chapter rather than partway through. Naive Angel Mode only changes what is shown (it covers nudity and tones down violence); no unlock or score is known to depend on it, so set it as you like from Options, Screen Display, on the Main Menu or Chapter Select. Bat Within: the skill tree opens in Chapter 1. When it does, check that Bat Within is switched on, or a dodge timed to the last moment will never trigger Witch Time.
Chapter 1 starts on the island of Thule, passes through the rift of Ginnungagap and a runaway train, and ends in Shibuya and the tunnels under its streets. Gomorrah is already yours; Madama Butterfly can be summoned from the rift on, and the G-Pillar is handed over at the chapter's Gates of Hell gramophone, the first shop stop of the run. Off the path wait three Niflheims (purple portals with a set task), one golden angel portal, a Medallion Shard and the chapter's three Umbran Tears of Blood. Nothing here needs a later demon or weapon. Finish the chapter before you quit: a missed pickup can be collected later by replaying the chapter from Chapter Select once the chapter is finished.
Past the Verse 3 area a short scene shows a portal. Walking into it takes you to Ginnungagap, and this run doesn't come back to Thule. Before you go in, check you have the Medallion Shard below the start cliff, the Figure Box on the ledge, the Niflheim by the big tree, both Card Packs, the Echo in the round ruin and the Witch Heart piece behind the waterfall. Anything left can be collected later by replaying the chapter from Chapter Select once the chapter is finished.
The portal at the far end of the rift drops you into a moving train, and from there the chapter runs without a break to Shibuya: a fight inside the train, a ride on Gomorrah down through falling buildings, then an Asperatus. Two Bewitchments are earned on the way, five Stratus killed inside the train and three obstacles smashed on the ride, and this run gives one attempt at each. A miss can be made up by replaying the chapter from Chapter Select once the chapter is finished.
Next you drop into the big hole in the road and break the debris to get into the tunnels. The walk carries on underground from there, so before you drop, make sure you have the cat, both Niflheims in Shibuya, the Bowl-Off Echo, the three Figure Boxes and two Card Packs of the streets and rooftops, the golden portal, the landmark Bewitchment, the toad, the room decoration and the hamburger. Anything left can be collected later by replaying the chapter from Chapter Select once the chapter is finished.
Chapter 2 crosses Shinjuku: the station rails where you land, a first open block with a round building and a car park full of trucks, a second burning block, the foggy streets with a Gates of Hell portal, a square where Asperatus waits, a long rooftop ride on Phantasmaraneae and a closing duel. You arrive with Colour My World, the G-Pillar and your demons; Phantasmaraneae joins in the opening scene and is needed for several pickups and both challenge portals. Every pickup here is reachable on this first visit, so nothing is held back for later. The five Bewitchments only show in the menu after the chapter's first clear, but they count when you earn them now. The chapter's Phenomenal Remnant waits for the after-story sweep.
After Asperatus, a scene puts you on Phantasmaraneae for a ride across collapsing rooftops, and there is no turning back along it. These can be taken only as you pass: the Broken Witch Heart chest on the helipad, the Echo of Memory at the end of the toppled highway, the Figure Box on the side of the bridging building, the Figure Box on the left as you enter the car park, and the two riding Bewitchments (the side road, and finishing without a fall). A missed one can be collected later by replaying the chapter from Chapter Select once the chapter is finished. The Figure Box and the toad after the ride are on foot.
Chapter 3 starts on a broken highway above Tokyo, drops into a cave where a subway train sits wedged in the rock, then crosses the Taito gate and its shopping streets to a temple and a camp of tents, where the chapter's Gates of Hell portal waits. After that comes a long rooftop and subway chase, a fight on and inside a giant enemy, and a duel between giant demons. You have Colour My World and G-Pillar, with Madama Butterfly, Gomorrah and Phantasmaraneae to summon. Nothing here needs a later demon or weapon. Bewitchments stay hidden in the menu until the chapter's first clear, but they count when earned on this first play.
Going on past the tents starts the Verse 6 chase, and there is no way back to the Taito streets this run. Before you go, have everything above: the Figure Boxes, the Moon Pearl and the Heart pieces, both Echoes, the Card Packs and the Record, all three Umbran Tears, both Niflheims, the Verse 1 angel fight, the lantern Halos and the Handy Lantern from the portal. The chase passes a Card Pack, two Figure Boxes and two Bewitchments only once. Anything missed can be collected later by replaying the chapter from Chapter Select once the chapter is finished.
Side Chapter 1 is a single side-on stealth stage through a facility, played against a clock and with no numbered verses. Guards see along a cone in front of them; slip past or strike from behind. Vents turn you into a lynx and water into a centipede. The route runs from a computer that opens a big door, down into a flooded section, up through floors guarded by lasers, and on to a second computer that opens the exit. It holds two Echoes of Memory, two Figure Boxes, four fast-food pickups and five Bewitchments. The food (a burger, toilet paper, a soda and fries) adds to the score at the end. The Bewitchments stay hidden in the menu until the side chapter's first clear, but they count when earned on this first play.
The timer runs the whole way, so doubling back costs time. Every pickup below is on or just off the route, in the order you reach it; some rooms add time to the clock. Anything missed can be collected later by replaying the side chapter from Chapter Select once the side chapter is finished.
Chapter 4 opens on Thule's Cliffs of Time, crosses the Ginnungagap rift and then runs along the Great Wall of Qin Lan into a walled city and up to its castle. You arrive with Colour My World, G-Pillar and the Ignis Araneae Yo-Yo, plus Gomorrah, Madama Butterfly and Phantasmaraneae; Wartrain Gouon joins you before Verse 4, and two of the chapter's puzzles and one Niflheim are built around it. Everything here can be done on this first visit: two purple Niflheim portals, one golden angel portal, a Medallion Shard and Rodin's portal at the crossroads. The five Bewitchments only appear in the menu after the chapter's first clear, but they count when you earn them now.
Past the blue gate a portal leads into the rift, and Thule can't be reached again this run once you step through. Before you go, check you have the two Card Packs, four Broken Witch Heart pieces, the Broken Moon Pearl piece behind the seal, two Figure Boxes, the Echo of Memory on the ruin and the Medallion Shard. A missed pickup can be collected later by replaying the chapter from Chapter Select once the chapter is finished.
The portal at the end of the rift carries you on to Qin Lan, and the rift is behind you after that. The only thing to do here is the lotus field Bewitchment above, so take it before you go through. If you miss it, replay the chapter from Chapter Select once the chapter is finished.
Beyond the arena gate, a stretch of the wall crumbles under you as you cross it, and you may not be able to climb back. Before crossing, take the Figure Box below the rampart, the Broken Witch Heart piece on the left tower, the Card Pack on the next tower and the Echo of Memory on the gate wall. A missed pickup can be collected later by replaying the chapter from Chapter Select once the chapter is finished.
The next Niflheim takes several tries for most players. Accessories are your choice here, so if you can afford the Conqueror's Reins (60,000 Seeds at Rodin's portal) wear it: a hit on you then can't send Gouon on a rampage, which this stage forbids. Fire the thrust, blast and cannon signals as the train passes each enemy so they are struck, not just grazed. You can raise the track to reach the flying enemy but never lower it again, so leave the flier for the end of the run. If it won't fall, come back for it on a Chapter Select replay.
Chapter 5 puts you in control of Viola for a chase through the walled courtyards of Qin Lan and on into Shuang Cha Ling. Her kit is fixed: the katana Mab Dachi, Bull Kiss throwing darts and one demon, Cheshire. Summoning Cheshire takes the blade from her hand, so she fights with her fists until he returns. Her Witch Time does not come from a dodge: block (R) just as a hit arrives. Two Niflheims and one angel portal sit off the path, and nothing in this chapter waits for a later demon or weapon. The chapter's Bewitchments only appear in the menu after the first clear, but each one counts if you earn it now. A missed pickup can be collected later by replaying the chapter from Chapter Select once the chapter is finished.
Going on from the Verse 4 courtyard starts a chase across a lava river, and the walk does not bring you back. Before you go, make sure you have the four Card Packs and four Figure Boxes of the courtyards, the cat and the toad, and the Verse 2 Niflheim and Verse 3 angel portal by the start. A missed one can be collected later by replaying the chapter from Chapter Select once the chapter is finished.
Past this point you cross a second lava river, and a short scene at the next gate sets off a running stretch into a cave. Have the record and the Card Pack from the military building before you reach that gate, so the walk doesn't need to turn back. A missed one can be collected later by replaying the chapter from Chapter Select once the chapter is finished.
Chapter 6 brings Bayonetta back to a ruined Qin Lan: a courtyard of lava wheels, then the cliffside town of Liang Jie Shan and the castle above it. She carries Colour My World, G-Pillar and the Ignis Araneae Yo-Yo, with Gomorrah, Madama Butterfly and Phantasmaraneae to summon; keep the Yo-Yo equipped, because its spider form (Phantasmaraneae Masquerade) walks on lava and two pickups need it. Wartrain Gouon is not with you this time. Two golden angel portals, two purple Niflheims and Rodin's portal on the main road all sit on this first visit, and nothing waits for a later demon or weapon. The chapter's Bewitchments only appear in the menu after the first clear, but each one counts if you earn it now. A missed pickup can be collected later by replaying the chapter from Chapter Select once the chapter is finished.
Past the gate the walk heads into Liang Jie Shan, where a bridge is shot down and you cross the lava. Have both Figure Boxes, the lava-wheel Bewitchment, the Verse 2 angel portal, the cat, the Card Pack and the gate chest before you go, so the walk doesn't turn back. A missed one can be collected later by replaying the chapter from Chapter Select once the chapter is finished.
The long path to the left of Rodin's portal starts a scene, and then the road falls apart into the lava behind you as you run. You can't walk back to the main road this run. Before you go, have the Mystic's Painting from the portal, the Verse 6 angel portal, the Figure Box on the tower, the crow, the Verse 5 Niflheim and the summon-only chest, plus everything from the courtyard and the lava pit. A missed one can be collected later by replaying the chapter from Chapter Select once the chapter is finished.
Side Chapter 2 goes back into the facility for a second side-on stealth stage, again with no numbered verses. The stealth rules carry over: guards see along a cone, a strike from behind or from a door or vent kills them outright and starts Witch Time, vents turn you into a lynx and water into a centipede. The route crosses the top floor and its three lifts, drops a floor to a panel that opens a big gate, rides down to the basement, where a giant Homunculus breaks through the walls, swims a flooded stretch, climbs through rooms of hanging containers and ends in a boss room. It holds one Echo of Memory, one Figure Box, an angel fight that counts as a Heavenly Light, four fast-food pickups and five Bewitchments; nothing waits for later. The Bewitchments stay hidden in the menu until the side chapter's first clear, but they count when earned on this first play.
The first lift, at the building's left end, runs all the way down to the basement, where the giant Homunculus starts its chase. Pick up the toilet paper, burger and fries and open the marked halo doors up here before riding it, so the walk doesn't turn back. Anything missed can be collected later by replaying the side chapter from Chapter Select once the side chapter is finished.
Chapter 7 is Viola's again. It opens in the Secret Hills of Thule, crosses the rift, and drops her into the Cairo desert, then on to an oasis, a river of quicksand under pouring sandfalls and a temple at the far end. She has her katana Mab Dachi, the Bull Kiss darts and Cheshire, though she loses Cheshire for a while after the fall into the desert and gets him back at Verse 4. Blocking (R) as a hit lands still gives her Witch Time. Two Niflheims and one angel portal sit off the path, and nothing here waits for a later demon or weapon. The chapter's Bewitchments stay hidden in the menu until the first clear, but each one counts if you earn it now. A missed pickup can be collected later by replaying the chapter from Chapter Select once the chapter is finished.
Past the arches a narrow path ends at a portal into the rift, and this run does not bring you back to Thule once you step through. Before you go, check you have the Echo of Memory, both Broken Witch Heart pieces (the floating chest and the time trial), the three Card Packs, the Figure Box on the broken bridge, the Verse 2 Niflheim, the Moon Pearl piece behind the waterfall and the Medallion Shard. A missed one can be collected later by replaying the chapter from Chapter Select once the chapter is finished.
When Verse 4 ends, Viola collapses and you steer Cheshire, with her on his back, through a narrow valley into open desert. Only he can dig, and digging up the spring ends his stretch and wakes her. Before you dig the spring, dig up the buried Broken Witch Heart chest and the second treasure spot, and take the Figure Box on the ledge by the valley exit. A missed one can be collected later by replaying the chapter from Chapter Select once the chapter is finished.
Leaving the quicksand area toward the temple sets off an ambush, and the chapter ends at the temple after that. Before you go, have the toad, the cat, the Echo, the Verse 8 Niflheim, both Moon Pearl pieces, the drifting Witch Heart chest and the record, so the walk doesn't need to turn back. A missed one can be collected later by replaying the chapter from Chapter Select once the chapter is finished.
Chapter 8 puts Bayonetta back in Cairo. She crosses the Zamalek basin, with its waterfalls, windmill towers and a long stone bridge, then sinks through the sand into the caves and buried temple of Venom's Caress. She carries the four weapons won so far, Colour My World, G-Pillar, the Ignis Araneae Yo-Yo and Dead End Express, and can call the demons Madama Butterfly, Gomorrah, Phantasmaraneae and Wartrain Gouon. After the Verse 4 fight Baal fights at her side for the rest of the chapter; it joins her demon list for good only later in the story. Two Niflheims and one angel portal sit off the path, and nothing here waits for a later demon or weapon. The chapter's Bewitchments only appear in the menu after the first clear, but each one counts if you earn it now. A missed pickup can be collected later by replaying the chapter from Chapter Select once the chapter is finished.
On the far side of the bridge a purple glowing marker shows a vision; following it sinks Bayonetta through the sand into Venom's Caress, and the walk does not bring her back up. Before you go, make sure you have Zamalek's three Card Packs, three Figure Boxes, two Broken Witch Hearts and two Broken Moon Pearls, the record, the Echo on the summoned platforms, the toad and the crow, plus the Verse 2 Niflheim, the Verse 3 angel portal and the windmill and Castellanus Bewitchments. A missed one can be collected later by replaying the chapter from Chapter Select once the chapter is finished.
A Bewitchment asks for five Baal statues smashed inside the temple. Four stand in this first part of the temple and the fifth in the room where Radiatus appears, so break each one you pass rather than coming back for them.
Chapter 9 opens in the Giza desert below a temple ringed by giant birds. A fallen bridge sends you through a cave to the Tower of Pacts, where a new demon, Malphas, joins you in Verse 4; its gale and its grabbing talon then open the puzzles of the Temple of Tempests. You start with Colour My World, G-Pillar, the Ignis Araneae Yo-Yo and Dead End Express, with Madama Butterfly, Gomorrah, Phantasmaraneae and Wartrain Gouon. One Figure Box sits on invisible platforms that a later demon shows, but it can be reached by jumping blind; nothing else here waits for later gear. The chapter has two Niflheims, an angel portal and a red-portal demon trial. Its Bewitchments only appear in the menu after the first clear, but each one counts if you earn it now. A missed pickup can be collected later by replaying the chapter from Chapter Select once the chapter is finished.
Walking up to the bridge toward the temple plays a scene in which a sandstorm brings it down, and the route goes on through a cave instead. The first Figure Box lies just short of that bridge, so collect it without stepping onto it, then come back for the rest of the start area: the Card Pack, the toad, the angel portal, the Echo of Memory and the Moon Pearl chest. Head for the bridge only after the chest, so the walk doesn't turn back. A missed one can be collected later by replaying the chapter from Chapter Select once the chapter is finished.
Reaching the top of the tower starts Verse 4, and after it Malphas carries you off to the Temple of Tempests. Make sure you have the birds Bewitchment, the red-portal trial, the balcony Niflheim, the Card Pack across the gap and this Figure Box first, so the walk doesn't turn back. A missed one can be collected later by replaying the chapter from Chapter Select once the chapter is finished.
In the room after the sarcophagi, a scene drops you through the floor and down a sand slide into a pink crystal cave. Have the windmill room's Echo of Memory and crow and the Figure Box behind the fallen pillar before you walk in, so the walk doesn't turn back. A missed one can be collected later by replaying the chapter from Chapter Select once the chapter is finished. Ride the slide without hitting anything, breaking the crystals ahead of you: the no-hit sand-slide Bewitchment may count here as well as in Verse 11.
The next corridor starts a chase: clouds of erasure roll after you and you run until you are clear. It passes one pickup, a Card Pack floating over a flight of stairs, and there is no going back for it or for anything behind you: the Figure Box on the invisible platforms, the sand chamber's Figure Box, and the scale room's Echo, cat, Figure Box, Niflheim and Card Pack. A missed one can be collected later by replaying the chapter from Chapter Select once the chapter is finished.
Side Chapter 3 is a single fight on a descending elevator, with no numbered verses and no rooms to search. Enemies climb aboard in groups on the way down, and two monitors inside the lift supply help: the left one weapons, the right one a supply system whose screen you stop on an image. Near the bottom a large Homunculus takes over the ride as the boss. Everything here, the four fast-food drops and all five Bewitchments, is earned on that one ride. The food adds to the score at the end and nothing else needs it. The Bewitchments stay hidden in the menu until the side chapter's first clear, but they count when earned on this first play.
The food only drops from the enemies that board before the boss shows up, and the shotgun and stealth-throw Bewitchments need those same boarders, so use the waves for them. Anything missed can be collected later by replaying the side chapter from Chapter Select once the side chapter is finished.
Chapter 10 puts Viola back in charge, starting on Thule's Frosted Peak, crossing a broken Ginnungagap and ending in the 16th Arrondissement of Paris. Her kit is the one she has had since Chapter 5: the katana Mab Dachi, Bull Kiss darts and Cheshire, and her Witch Time still comes from a block (R) timed to an incoming hit. Everything in the chapter can be done on this first visit: two purple Niflheim portals, one golden angel portal, a seal opened by a key found near the start, and the last of the four Medallion Shards. Patches of fallen coloured glass lie on Thule's paths from the opening, and a Bewitchment wants ten of them stepped on, so walk over each one you pass. The chapter's Bewitchments only show in the menu after the first clear, but each one counts if you earn it now. A missed pickup can be collected later by replaying the chapter from Chapter Select once the chapter is finished.
Past the Verse 3 room, stairs lead up to a portal into Ginnungagap, and Thule can't be reached again this run once you step through. Before you go, check you have the Figure Box and the Verse 1 Niflheim up the start platforms, the key and the Broken Witch Heart behind the seal, the Broken Moon Pearl from the broken bridge, the Card Pack, both Echoes of Memory, the crow, the Figure Box under the bridge and the Medallion Shard, along with the stone tower and stained glass Bewitchments. In the rift, one more Bewitchment asks you never to fall, so cross it carefully from the first step. A missed pickup can be collected later by replaying the chapter from Chapter Select once the chapter is finished.
The portal at the end of the rift carries you to Paris, and the rift is behind you after that. Have the Card Pack on the platforms by the red crystal before you step through. If you miss it, replay the chapter from Chapter Select once the chapter is finished.
Chapter 11 puts you back in control of Bayonetta, this time in the 8th Arrondissement of Paris. She has Colour My World, G-Pillar, the Ignis Araneae Yo-Yo, Dead End Express, Ribbit Libido-BZ55 and Simoon, with Madama Butterfly, Gomorrah, Phantasmaraneae, Wartrain Gouon, Baal and Malphas. Early on a new demon, Mictlantecuhtli, is lent to her for the chapter: its X form lights up pitch-dark places and shows invisible things, and much of the chapter is built around it. There are two purple Niflheim portals, a golden angel portal and a flight at the end that only runs forward. The chapter's Bewitchments only show in the menu after the first clear, but each one counts if you earn it now. A missed pickup can be collected later by replaying the chapter from Chapter Select once the chapter is finished.
Past the statue plaza the path drags you into Ginnungagap, and these streets can't be reached again this run. Before you walk on, check you have the first Figure Box, the angel portal, both Card Packs, the crow, the Record and its Bewitchment, the toad, the Sightseeing Bus Plate, the Broken Witch Heart from the floating chest, the Echo of Memory, the cat, both Niflheims and the Broken Witch Heart above the statue. A missed pickup can be collected later by replaying the chapter from Chapter Select once the chapter is finished.
The open area ahead starts the Verse 8 duel, and Verse 9 follows it at once: a flight on Mictlantecuhtli that moves on by itself and can't be turned back, then the chapter's last fight. Have the Figure Box above before you go on. Two pickups lie in the flight and pass only once: a chest with a Broken Moon Pearl and a Heavenly Light near the end of the second dark cave. Three Bewitchments are also earned during it. A missed one can be collected later by replaying the chapter from Chapter Select once the chapter is finished.
Chapter 12 keeps Bayonetta in Paris, this time in the ruined streets of the 1st Arrondissement, and ends with a ride on Gomorrah, a duel and a song. You carry Colour My World, G-Pillar, the Ignis Araneae Yo-Yo, Dead End Express, Ribbit Libido-BZ55, Simoon and Tartarus, with Madama Butterfly, Gomorrah, Phantasmaraneae, Wartrain Gouon, Baal, Malphas and the Umbran Clock Tower. Tartarus and the Clock Tower came with the previous clear, so look over the Clock Tower's moves before you set off, because the first challenge uses nothing else. The chapter holds two purple Niflheim portals and one golden angel portal. Mictlantecuhtli and Abracadabra are only handed over when the chapter ends, and nothing here waits for them. The chapter's Bewitchments only show in the menu after the first clear, but each one counts if you earn it now. A missed pickup can be collected later by replaying the chapter from Chapter Select once the chapter is finished.
A Bewitchment asks for five buses destroyed, and the count can start at once: a bus is parked right beside you when the chapter begins. Smash each bus you pass on the way through the first streets, with a summoned demon for speed, rather than coming back for them.
Verse 6 starts on the main path beyond the arch and carries you down into an underground tunnel. Before walking on, check you have Rodin's decoration, the Echo behind the rock, the Verse 5 Niflheim and the Figure Box on the arch, so the walk doesn't turn back.
Leaving the tunnel plays a scene and puts you on Gomorrah for a scripted rampage; the streets behind you can't be reached again this run. Before you go, have the Verse 1 Niflheim, all five Figure Boxes so far, the angel portal, the crow, toad and cat, both Card Packs, the time-trial Broken Witch Heart, the Echo, the Verse 5 Niflheim and Rodin's decoration, with the bus and tunnel Bewitchments. The ride itself passes a Figure Box inside a helicopter only once. The duel that follows earns a Bewitchment only with the Umbran Clock Tower among your demons, so set it now. A missed pickup can be collected later by replaying the chapter from Chapter Select once the chapter is finished.
Side Chapter 4 swaps stealth for a road chase: you ride a motorcycle with the doctor's pod hitched alongside, across three lanes, while Homunculi on bikes close in from every side. Red markers on a lane warn of an obstacle ahead and blue ones of a ramp. Shoot riders with your gun, the weapons you pick up on the road or grenades. Every pickup and enemy turns up at a set mark on the countdown timer, so this section follows the timer from the top down. There are no numbered verses. It holds an angel fight that counts as a Heavenly Light, one Figure Box, three fast-food pickups (there is no toilet paper here) and five Bewitchments, and a Virga waits as the boss near the end. Nothing waits for later. The Bewitchments stay hidden in the menu until the side chapter's first clear, but they count when earned on this first play.
Once the ride starts there is no turning back: each pickup and fight below is passed once, at its mark on the timer. That covers the golden glow for Acceptance, the burger, soda and fries ramps, the rainbow rider for Cutie J and the Figure Box on the bottom lane. Two Bewitchments also run the whole ride, so read them first. Anything missed can be collected later by replaying the side chapter from Chapter Select once the side chapter is finished.
Chapter 13 opens with a long scene, then sends you back into Ginnungagap for a run over islands that break apart as you cross them, and on to two boss fights on the far side of the rift. Every weapon and demon from Chapters 1 to 12 is in hand, Abracadabra and Mictlantecuhtli included; buy any lollipops you want at the Gates of Hell from the chapter map before you start. The rift holds one purple Niflheim portal, the chapter's three Umbran Tears of Blood and the lotuses for one Bewitchment; three more Bewitchments are earned inside the two boss fights. The three Tears open Phenomenal Remnant 13, which is left for the Remnant sweep after the story. The chapter's Bewitchments only show in the menu after the first clear, but each one counts if you earn it now. A missed pickup can be collected later by replaying the chapter from Chapter Select once the chapter is finished. Older versions hid a key for the Old Picture Book in this rift; on update 1.2.0 the game hands it over by itself, so there is nothing to search for.
Once you leave the Niflheim's island, the path crumbles while you cross it and each stretch is gone after you pass; only a few stable rests stay put. Clear the Niflheim before you set off, take the cat and the toad on the first rest and the crow on the spiral island before moving on, and grab every lotus you pass from here to the end of the rift (25 make a Bewitchment). Nothing left behind can be reached again this run. A missed pickup can be collected later by replaying the chapter from Chapter Select once the chapter is finished.
Chapter 14 is the last chapter of the story, and it is almost nothing but fights: three boss verses back to back as Bayonetta, a duel for Viola once the credits begin, then four short verses during the rest of the credits. Bayonetta has every weapon and demon from the story so far, eight pairs, the newest being Abracadabra with Mictlantecuhtli from Chapter 12. There is nothing to collect here: no Umbran Tears, no Niflheim portals, no Gates of Hell stop and no pickups. What counts is the five Bewitchments, and four of them can only be earned during a particular fight, the first one right after the opening scene. They show in the menu only after the chapter's first clear, but each counts if you earn it now; one you miss can be earned on a replay from Chapter Select. After the ending, the after-story sections come next: the story-clear rewards and extra chapters, the Phenomenal Remnants, the Gates of Hell sweep and the closing goals.
The credits begin once Verse 3 is won, but the chapter is not over: Viola's Verse 4 duel comes partway through them, then four short verses during the second half. All of them count toward the chapter's score, so keep playing until the dance at the very end.
The story is finished, and everything from here on is played from Chapter Select, the dartboard map in Viola's room, or from the Gates of Hell, which opens from the same map. This section collects what the story clear hands over (a new weapon and demon, the training Handguns, and Jeanne as a playable character with her own guns), then two short extras: the Old Picture Book and the secret chapter inside it, and the Golem extra chapter opened by the four Medallion Shards. Every weapon and demon the story gives is now in hand. The Phenomenal Remnants come next, in their own section, because two of them need Jeanne; the Seed farm, the shop sweep, the three Witch Trials and the Rodin fight come after those, so the trials are faced with the Remnant rewards and the shop accessories in hand.
The Phenomenal Remnants are fourteen bonus stages, one for each story chapter, and this section plays them all in one sweep now that the story is over. Remnants 1 to 13 each open once you hold that chapter's three Umbran Tears of Blood; Remnant 14 opens once the story is finished. Each one is a single short stage of one of three kinds: a timed hunt for lotuses or hourglasses, a timed fight against groups of enemies, or a one-on-one boss fight. Each has three Bewitchments of its own. You have every weapon and demon the story gives, and Jeanne is playable after the previous section, which Remnants 1 and 9 need. The rewards are full Witch Hearts and Moon Pearls, five accessories, two new weapons with their demons, a Heavenly Light, four Infernal Presences, a Figure Box and a Record. The Gates of Hell shopping and the Rodin fight come in the next section.
Pick the chapter on Chapter Select, then its Remnant, then the character: Bayonetta or Viola, and Jeanne now that the story is done. Jeanne summons the same demons as Bayonetta here. A Remnant's Bewitchments appear in the menu only after its first clear, but each one counts if you earn it on the first try. Some ask for a particular character or weapon, so read a Remnant's rows before you start it. A Remnant can be replayed from Chapter Select as often as you like, so a missed Bewitchment, pickup or time goal is never lost. If a chapter has no red diamond, a Tear is still missing: replay that chapter from Chapter Select, catch it, and finish the chapter.
Play Remnant 1 as Jeanne, so one run takes all three of its Bewitchments. Remnants 6 and 14 must be finished as Bayonetta, and Remnant 11 as Viola. Remnant 9 needs two clears: one as Bayonetta with Ribbit Libido-BZ55 equipped and one as Jeanne. Every other Remnant can be played by whoever you like.
The story, the after-story extras and every Phenomenal Remnant are done, so every weapon and demon apart from Rodin's is yours and Jeanne is playable. What is left is shopping, the three Witch Trials and Rodin. The Gates of Hell sells with two currencies here: Halos buy the cosmetics in Rodin's Treasures (Super Mirrors, Couleur Bullets, Viola's shirts) and Seeds buy accessories and the Platinum Ticket. The bill is large, so this section opens with a Seed farm, then buys the cheapest things first. Once every accessory is bought, the Witch Trials follow, with the shirts they put on sale, and the section ends with the Platinum Ticket, the Rodin fight and the skill sweep. If the shop shows a different price from the one given here, the shop is right. Anything you already bought during the story, tick and skip. The two rank goals and the Bewitchment table come in the next sections.
From Chapter Select, press the minus button to visit Rodin at the Gates of Hell; the record-player portals inside chapters open the same shop. Witch's Respite in his menu saves on the spot, so save after each round of buying.
The Halo items below cost a little over 110,000 Halos together. Ways to top up: at the very start of Chapter 2, keep right toward the golden light beside the trains, where two Beloved pay 1,300 Halos each; play on to the portal that leads to the Gates of Hell, buy and save there, then quit to Chapter Select and repeat. Chapter 3's Verse 1, the angel fight at the first subway tunnel, works too: once its results show, go back to Chapter Select and start again. Jeanne's Mini Game at the Gates of Hell (300 Seeds a try, Halos on a win, more for harder stages) and Phenomenal Remnant 6 also pay well, and every main chapter has at least one angel verse that pays Halos.
Each Witch Trial is ten fights in a row, and the three get harder in turn. A trial only counts if you clear all ten in one sitting: dying, or quitting to the menu, sends you back to its first verse. Bayonetta, Viola and Jeanne can all take part. Weapons and demons are locked once a verse starts, but between verses you can change them, and a Green Laurel is handed over before each verse to heal with. The trials come here, after the accessories, so you face them with the Remnant weapons and every accessory bought. Clearing them puts three new T-shirts for Viola on sale, bought right after.
Two goals for players who want more once the 100% is done. Neither is needed for it, and nothing is known to be unlocked by either one, so both are optional: the reader's required-only filter hides them. Everything else is finished by now, so you have every weapon, demon and accessory, Jeanne included. Both goals are chapter by chapter: the Prologue, Chapters 1 to 14 and the four Side Chapters, picked one at a time from Chapter Select.
Each cleared chapter keeps its record under Play History in the Chapter Select menu, and online rankings are filed by chapter and by difficulty. A verse's best medal is kept: a worse result on a later replay does not replace it, so both goals can be built up a few chapters at a time.
As Bayonetta, raise the Pulley's Butterfly barrier from Phenomenal Remnant 1 as a fight begins and attack without stopping: demon summons make enemies flinch hard and keep them pinned, and the magic gauge is large enough to hold the barrier up a long time. It falls short where demons can't be summoned, in Niflheims with fixed gear, in Viola's chapters and on the stages ridden on a demon. For the combo medal, keep many light hits going instead of a quick kill: the multiplier climbs with every hit, and hits in Witch Time count for more.
Chapter 1 Verse 5 (Gomorrah down the river): steer between the pillars rather than dodging, since a dodge locks your sideways movement and lands slowly; line up just left of centre before the big drop to the water, pass the low bridges through the middle of their piers, and dodge only at the cluster of pillars straight ahead after the bridge in the second stretch. Chapter 9 Verse 11 (shooting small enemies that cling to your flying mount): hard to make reliable even after a clean pass, so expect many retries. Chapter 10 Verse 8 (Strider, as Viola): block to start Witch Time and counter only inside it, and learn his tells over many fights. Chapter 11 Verse 5 (the invisible Murus): break through it with Baal's rain. Chapter 12 Verse 5 (no landing): surviving is not enough for the combo, so fly low and keep hitting the small enemies without touching down. Chapter 12 Verse 9 (the rhythm stage): the incoming enemies are hard to pick out against the background, so learn the pattern over a few tries.
Every Bewitchment in the order this guide earns them, with the section that gets each one and the verse, spot or Phenomenal Remnant where it happens. There are 137: five in each story chapter, the Prologue and each Side Chapter, and three in each Phenomenal Remnant. Every chapter and Remnant can be replayed from Chapter Select, so none can be missed for good; any difficulty counts. A chapter's list shows on Chapter Select once that chapter has been cleared, with each one marked done or still open, so use the table to find where to go back to.
