Chapter 8: A Croaking Chorus

Bayonetta crosses Zamalek's waterfalls and bridge, sinks into Venom's Caress, gains Baal for the temple and ends the chapter against Murus.

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.

Chapter 8 Verse 1: CastellanusBoss
Location
Chapter 8 · Cairo: Zamalek – Walk out of the opening cave into the first open area; a scene starts the fight. The core sits on top of a stack of segments and takes no damage from normal hits, so break the segments from the bottom up (demon attacks reach them well) while dodging its tendrils. With every segment gone it grows legs and walks; watch its spinning blade and keep hitting the exposed top.
Requires
Summary
Verse 1: a new tower-shaped enemy, Castellanus, with smaller foes joining in.

Niflheim: tower behind the first arenaCollectible

Inside, kill every enemy (Uncinus, Spissatus and Stratus) before time runs out while the wind pushes you toward the fog at the arena's edge. The shooters never move, so one Wartrain Gouon charge through them clears most of the wave.

The marker across the bridge takes you underground

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.

Chapter 8 Verse 4: Baal and the cave duelBoss
Location
Chapter 8 · Cairo: Venom's Caress – Cross the bridge to the purple marker and follow the vision down through the sand, then walk the cave to the large chamber and approach the vision there. Baal swings wide, slams the ground and sings: a finished song does huge damage, and its poison rain reaches you anywhere, so stagger it before the fourth verse. Once Baal is down to its last health bar the witch takes over, with long staff swings and stunning sound waves from range; dodge for Witch Time and don't let her build a combo.
Requires
Summary
Verse 4: a fight with the toad demon Baal, then a duel with the witch from the vision. Winning gives you Baal for the rest of the chapter.
