Bayonetta 3 Main Mission Tips
- Don’t get hung up on one weapon, try others too. Always lock onto an enemy before attacking.
- Explore the map to find Poems. The main chapters are divided into verses, and if you don’t finish them, you will be stuck in a chapter.
- Use lollipops during boss fights, for example, use Mega Green to regenerate health. Keep enough in your inventory.
- Witch Time works in your favor, you can deal a lot of damage if you can pull a combo during this period.
- Learn to dodge control, this will help you dodge incoming attacks.
- Keep unlocking new skills, with each chapter you will face stronger enemies.
I hope the tips above will help you finish the game quickly. When you complete the main chapters, you will unlock Viola as the second playable character in the game. You can play through the whole game again on a different difficulty level using all Bayonetta accessories.
