Bayonetta 3: Bayonetta 3 100% Completion Guide

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.
