Chapter 5: Hot Pursuit

Viola's first chapter: Qin Lan's courtyards, the lava-river chase and the cave, then Volutus in the temple square.

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.

Viola's Mab Dachi and Bull KissWeapon
Location
Chapter 5 · Qin Lan courtyards – Yours as soon as the opening scene ends and you take control in the first courtyard; nothing to find or buy.
Requires
Summary
Viola's own weapons and her demon, Cheshire, who comes bound to the katana. She has no other loadout, and this is the first chapter that uses it.

Location
Chapter 5 · Qin Lan courtyards – Walk into the middle of the starting courtyard to start the fight. A treasure cube close by refills the summon gauge if you break it first. Practise the block (R) here: Witch Time only starts when a block meets an attack.

Card Pack: through the right-hand door at the startCollectible

Niflheim: half-open door right of the startCollectible
Location
Chapter 5 · Qin Lan courtyards – The purple portal is in the same yard as the Card Pack just above. Two waves (three Stratus, then a Floccus) inside 180 seconds, and they only take damage during Witch Time, so every opening has to come from a well-timed block (R); no Torture Attacks. Since update 1.2.0 the block window is wider and an animation cues it. If the timing feels wrong, try remapping the block to the button you dodge with as Bayonetta.
Requires
Summary
Verse 2, a Niflheim challenge. A first clear gives a Broken Moon Pearl.

Angel portal: far-left door at the startCollectible
Location
Chapter 5 · Qin Lan courtyards – Go back to the starting courtyard and through the doorway facing the one you just used (an arch on the left). It ends in a dead end with the golden portal. Inside is one Acceptance, a fast centaur lancer that hits hard: stay on the defensive and block its strikes for Witch Time before you commit.
Requires
Summary
Verse 3, a hidden angel fight behind a golden portal. Clearing it also counts as a Heavenly Light.

The chase over the lava leaves the courtyards behind

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.

Bewitchment: Get past the ladder-holding soldier firstAchievement
Location
Chapter 5 · Lava river – During the chase over the lava river, don't follow the man you are chasing: grapple straight across (the rock in the middle helps) and use Viola's dash to reach the soldier holding a ladder at the bridge before he does. It is one attempt per pass.

Collect the building's pickups before the next gate

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.

Bewitchment: Put out the fire without running into obstaclesAchievement
Location
Chapter 5 · Shuang Cha Ling – After the scene at the gate, Viola runs through the cave with her clothes alight. Steer her to the water without clipping a single obstacle on the way. You get one try per pass.

Chapter 5 Verse 9: VolutusBoss
Location
Chapter 5 · Temple square – Walk on from the small courtyard into the main square by the temple; a scene starts the fight. Stay out of its flames and let it charge at you: a block timed to the charge opens Witch Time for free hits, and Cheshire adds damage.

Verse 9, the chapter boss: a huge burning beast that charges and leaves fire behind it. Beating it ends the chapter.
