Bayonetta – Complete Walkthrough (Step by Step Guide)
February 8, 2024Introduction and Tutorial
Initially, the game introduces the backstory and basic controls through an introduction sequence that also serves as a tutorial. Here, the focus should be on familiarizing yourself with Bayonetta’s controls, especially basic attacks, dodges and combination strikes. Destroy the enemies that appear, following the on-screen instructions to practice dodging and using effective combos. The key to success in combat is precision timing of dodges, which activates “Witch Time”, temporarily slowing down time and allowing you to attack without reprisal.
When the flying creatures appear, focus on executing the commands displayed on the screen to defeat them. After your victory, look for a hole to exit the area and continue.
Combat and First Boss
In the next area, you will find more enemies to fight. Use this opportunity to hone your combat skills by experimenting with different strike combinations. When facing the first boss, watch his attack patterns and use dodge to avoid damage, especially when he “puts his hands together” as this often precedes a powerful attack.
After defeating the boss, watch the animation and prepare for a crucial segment: filling your power bar, located below the energy bar. Perform combos without taking damage to maximize this bar, allowing you to execute fatal blows. This is essential to progress efficiently and prepare for future challenges.
Chapter 1 – The Angel’s Metropolis
General Tips for Chapter 1
- Strategy is key: Learn the attack patterns of enemies and bosses to know the exact moment to attack or dodge.
- Use Witch Time: Activating Witch Time, slowing down time when dodging attacks at the last second, is essential to give you the necessary advantage against stronger enemies.
- Explore the environment: Don’t forget to explore each area for useful items that can restore your health or increase your power.
Starting Chapter 1
1. Crossing the Metro: The first step is simple. Once you start the chapter, head to the other side of the subway. You will find a set of stairs. Climb these stairs, and you’ll see metal detectors ahead. Go through them to advance in the level.
2. Facing the Mosaic Door: Just past the metal detectors, there will be a door made of mosaic blocking your path. Attack this door until it collapses and allows you to pass through. Keep moving forward.
3. The Statue and the Key: Eventually, you will come to a hole. Go down it and you will find a statue. Break this statue to get a key. With the key in hand, go back upstairs and look for a blocked door. Use the key on that door to unlock it and proceed.
Acquiring the Power to Cross Water
4. The Broken Statue: After advancing through the door unlocked with the key, you will come across a broken statue. When investigating the statue, enemies will appear. Eliminate them all. With the area cleared, the statue will be rebuilt, and you will receive a sequence of on-screen commands. Execute this combination to gain the power to cross over water, a crucial ability to advance in the game.
Intense Combat and Bosses
5. Breaking another Mosaic and the Central Platform: Continue your journey by breaking another mosaic you find along the way and climb onto the central platform. Here, you will have to face more enemies. Use the weapons they drop to make combat easier and more effective.
6. The First Boss of the Chapter: After clearing the area of common enemies, prepare for the first significant challenge: a boss. Focus on shooting and hitting the rock located on the boss’s back. A valuable tip is to use the horn, if available, to cause greater damage. Keep attacking until you defeat him.
7. The Second Boss: After defeating the first boss, move forward until you find the next passage, and prepare to face another boss. This time, the secret is to constantly shoot at the enemy’s heads and dodge at the right time to avoid their attacks. When he tries to bite, this is your chance to counterattack.
8. The Large Creature: Continuing, you will come across a giant creature. Your objective is to attack the giant’s arm without stopping. Be careful not to fall off the platform during the confrontation. If you are thrown, a sequence of commands will appear on the screen; execute it quickly to save yourself. When the giant starts destroying the stairs, run without hesitation until you reach the top. There, dodge the blows and keep attacking his arms until he finally falls.
Chapter 2 – Vigrid, City of Déja Vu
General Tips for Chapter 2
- Perfect Dodge: Mastering dodge not only helps you avoid damage but also activates Witch Time, essential for defeating enemies and bosses effectively.
- Exploration: Take your time. Exploring every corner can reveal items that will be crucial to your journey.
- Adapt: Each confrontation in this chapter teaches you something new. Use this to your advantage and adapt your strategies as needed.
Facing Jeane
The chapter begins with a direct confrontation against Jeane. The key here is agility. You’ll want to avoid taking too much damage, so focus on short, quick attacks. The most important thing is to dodge her blows in time. This initial combat is more about picking up the pace and understanding that dodging is as essential as attacking.
Climbing the Castle
After the revealing and perhaps even exciting animations, head towards the wall in front. Here, you will need to climb. Once at the top, get ready for more action: enemies await you and you must eliminate them to continue. Stay agile, using the environment to your advantage when possible.
Crossing the Castle Entrance
After dealing with the enemies at the top, go to the entrance and on the other side you will find a pillar that needs to be activated. Do so and run towards the opposite door. Here, a crucial detail: dodge the beam to activate “Witch Time”, allowing time to pass slowly. This will give you the perfect opening to destroy the door and advance.
Central City Square
Now, head to the central part of the city, the city square. After a series of animations, more enemies will appear. Eliminate them all to proceed. Then, go right. You will go down the tram line, and after a dramatic event with the tram overturning, get ready to face the flaming wheels. This part will test both your agility and your attacking ability.
Confrontations and Exploration
Continuing your way through the city, go down the street until you reach the next square. Here, you have the chance to acquire more items, which I highly recommend if your inventory allows it. Otherwise, continue to the right. Get ready to destroy more creatures and activate statues essential for progress.
Crossing the Bridge
After releasing the statues and activating the beam, you’ll have to be quick. Break the wall and cross the bridge before time returns to normal. This part requires precision and speed, so stay tuned.
The Cave Boss
When you enter the cave and watch another sequence of animations, prepare yourself for the boss. This combat is divided into phases. First, focus on the center head, avoiding its fireballs. When the other head appears, keep attacking, but don’t neglect dodging. The attacks here can be brutal, so timing when dodging is crucial. When the room is thrown, a sequence of commands will appear. Execute it perfectly to eliminate the creature and emerge victorious.
Chapter 3 – The Burning Ground
Tips for Chapter 3
- Prioritize dodging: Against lava enemies and new opponents, dodging efficiently is more important than attacking incessantly.
- Take advantage of slow time: Use statues to manipulate time, especially when crossing lava.
- Run when necessary: There are times when fighting is futile. Recognize these moments and use speed to your advantage.
- Quick observation and reaction: Whether in platform challenges or avoiding obstacles, attention to detail and quick reactions will be your greatest allies.
Home: Fighting Lava Creatures
As soon as you start, you will come across creatures made of lava. The key here is to use your weapons efficiently to avoid taking damage while maintaining a safe distance. Don’t underestimate these enemies; distance is your friend.
Race Against Lava
Then lava will start flowing down the streets. Here, the priority changes; leave enemies behind and run! Speed is essential to avoid being swallowed by lava.
New Enemy and Temporal Statues
Just ahead, you will encounter a new type of enemy. The old trick of dodging at the last second and counterattacking will be your best ally. After defeating him, you will use statues to slow down time. This is crucial for crossing areas covered in lava. Timing is everything; Activate slow time and cross at the exact moment.
Crossing the Lava and More Combat
As you advance, the lava will take over the street again. Now, you’ll have to be agile, moving along the walls and using central platforms to progress. After a tense race, prepare for more combat in the next square. Eliminate the enemies and enjoy the animation, but pay attention to the sequence of commands that will appear.
Challenges in the Caves
Inside the caves, the strategy changes to speed. Avoid fighting enemies when small lava eruptions begin; run to avoid damage.
Journey Between Worlds and The Reconstruction of the Bridge
As you exit the caves, you will try to cross a bridge that, unfortunately, collapses. Do not freak out. Go back and enter the portal in the center, transporting yourself to another world. Here, you’ll need to stop time to create platforms from the rising water, allowing you to advance to a large golden wall. Take the hourglass found there, return to the original world and use it to rebuild the collapsed bridge.
Final Race and Climb
After rebuilding the bridge, ignore the enemies and run! When the bridge starts to break, keep running and jumping to the fragments ahead without hesitation. When you reach the bottom, follow the path carefully, avoiding the eruptions. Your goal is to reach the highest point, going right.
Final Challenge – The Grand Colosseum
When you find the hole in the ceiling, show off your climbing skills. Walk along the wall, avoiding the falling rocks and lava trail. Once at the top, follow the stairs until you enter the large coliseum, preparing yourself for what comes next.
Chapter 4 – The Cardinal Virtue of Fortitude
Tips for Beating the Dragon
- Master Dodge: The ability to dodge at the right time is crucial, especially against the dragon’s fire attacks and charges.

2. Dodge Fireballs and Bites: The dragon will use fireballs and try to bite you. Dodge is key here. Learn the dragon’s attack patterns to know exactly when to dodge and avoid damage.
3. Counterattack with Aerial Combos: After successfully dodging the attacks, take the opportunity to counterattack with aerial combos. Bayonetta is extremely agile in the air, so use this to your advantage to inflict damage while avoiding being hit.
4. Use of the Hourglass: Eventually, the platform may give way under the weight of the battle. When this happens, look for an hourglass. Using it will rebuild the platform, allowing you to continue the fight. It’s a valuable resource that gives you the chance to resume the offensive with renewed vigor.
5. Special Strike: After taking down the dragon, a unique opportunity will arise. Jump on top of him and perform the indicated combination to deliver a special blow. This action is decisive to advance the fight.
Destruction of the Two Heads
After destroying the dragon’s two heads, a new scenario will appear: the outside of the coliseum. Here, the strategy changes slightly, but the intensity of the battle remains high.
1. Dodge the Lava Balls and Lightning: The coliseum will be the scene of fiery chaos. Balls of lava will rise from the ground, and lightning will be launched towards you. Keep moving constantly, dodging to avoid damage.
2. Attack the Main Head: With the two secondary heads defeated, focus your efforts on the dragon’s main head. This is the time to attack without stopping. Use all the skills and combos you’ve mastered so far to inflict as much damage as possible.
3. The End of the Monster: Keep pressing with incessant attacks until the monster’s main head is finally destroyed. This is a fight of endurance as much as skill, so stay calm and focus on your strategy.
