Chapter 12: The Edge of Madness

Bayonetta crosses the ruined 1st Arrondissement of Paris, from the Clock Tower challenge behind the start to the arch and the tunnel below, then rides Gomorrah into the chapter's last fights.

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.

Wreck buses as you go

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.

Niflheim: behind the startCollectible
Location
Chapter 12 · 1st Arrondissement – Spin round the moment the chapter begins: the purple portal is right behind you. Inside, a single Castellanus has to fall before the clock runs out, and the Umbran Clock Tower is the only demon you may call. Part of the arena gives endless magic, so fight from there and work through the tower's levels, reading its info panels first if it is new to you.
Requires
Summary
Verse 1, a Niflheim challenge. A first clear gives a Broken Moon Pearl.

Chapter 12 · 1st Arrondissement – Back on the street, walk ahead toward the first clearing but don't step into it yet. Where a police car sits and the ground drops into a hole, look right: the box rests on a rock platform across the gap. Double jump and glide over to it.

Bewitchment: Destroy 5 busesAchievement
Location
Chapter 12 · 1st Arrondissement – Buses stand all over these streets, starting with one parked next to you at the very start (see the tip at the top of the chapter). Smash every one you pass; a summoned demon flattens them fastest. It counts the moment the fifth is wrecked, so if it hasn't come up by the clearing, keep at it along the street ahead.

Angel portal: alley by the cloudsCollectible
Location
Chapter 12 · 1st Arrondissement – Go up the ramp past the clearing and, where the main path bends left, keep right instead. A narrow alley runs along the edge of the clouds, through a burning patch and an open doorway, and the golden portal waits at its far end in a small courtyard. Inside is a Valiance with three health bars: its huge sword hurts, but its swings are slow, so dodge for Witch Time and punish.
Requires
Summary
Verse 3, a hidden angel fight behind a golden portal. Clearing it also counts as a Heavenly Light.

Chapter 12 Verse 4: DuplicatusQuest step
Location
Chapter 12 · 1st Arrondissement – Climb back to the road and carry on into the next open area; the verse starts on its own. Duplicatus copies itself without any help, so the numbers grow fast: summon demons early and wipe out the copies together rather than one at a time.

Chapter 12 · 1st Arrondissement – Cross to the other side of the record player and, before going under the arch, take the rubble-strewn street on the right toward the clouds; the purple portal is behind the broken buildings. You only need to survive until time runs out against three Genitus and three Cavum, but the floor hurts, magic is limited and you fight with Simoon. You have two lives (one before update 1.2.0).

Clear the arch area before Verse 6

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.

The tunnel exit starts the Gomorrah rampage

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.
