You haven’t started playing Bayonetta Origins yet and you’re here because you want to be as prepared as possible. Or maybe you’ve actually completed the game and lurked to see if others share similar feelings or regrets as you.
Either way, if it means saving you time, there’s some information you’ll want to know before you start. There are decisions you’ll probably want to make again to make your journey on the , much smoother than your first run.
Ten No need to play other games
If you’ve shelved this prequel with other games in mind, I’m happy to hear that you don’t need to know anything about the Bayonetta series to enjoy this game. In fact, it’s a good starting point for anyone looking to immerse themselves in the world of Bayonetta.
This spin-off is different in almost everything, from combat to art style. Of course, Bayonetta fans will be surprised to learn that Cereza hasn’t always been an overpowering witch since the first Bayonetta game.
9 Do not rush unless you are in Tir na Nog
The game is all about enjoying the beautiful scenery around you, so there’s no need to rush — unless you stumble upon the location of Tir na Nog. Achieving a platinum time record on these challenges deserves all the rewards.
If you can beat them all with platinum, you’ll be able to complete the map in no time — assuming you’ve snooped on all the item drops and wisps around the area. It’s great to take the time to check your levels to make sure you haven’t missed any.
8 mess around with the environment
If you want to make your way through the forest, you must have an adventurer’s mind, especially if you are faced with a layered environment. It’s as simple as the Leafy Nooks, which are few in number.
Then there’s the Sunspeckled Grove, with multiple entry and exit points, even in subsections that are guaranteed to dazzle. But be careful when putting Cereza into deep water without a lily pad.
7 elements are essential
As you progress through the game, you’ll gain access to various elemental powers that will prove advantageous to you and your demonic stuffed companion. It is also important to move to
Gaining the power of water allows you to absorb water and move through water on water lily leaves. Acquiring stone elements will help you find hidden items underground. Mastering them is key to navigating the Avalon Forest.
6 anywhere potion
Potions are great and the true game way is to save and use good buffs when you need them. It’s not, but it’s not required either.
Many of these potions can be found in treasure chests scattered throughout the forest. Unless you’re surprisingly short of a particular potion, making too much isn’t the most practical thing you can do with your resources.
Five take care of cheshire
As a longtime Bayonetta fan, you’re used to slashing your way to victory, or sometimes dodging attacks with sheer luck. , from the first game to the third game, is also good at Cereza’s move combos.
But be careful when playing with Cereza and Cheshire. If Cheshire absorbs too much damage, she loses her vitality and reverts to her gorgeous appearance. She can literally hug her to escape, but be careful as Cheshire grows stronger in her adventures.
Four don’t ignore the wisp
Good deeds are not unrewarded here, so you can also help poor wisps who are submerged underwater or trapped behind large sheets of ice. It takes less than a minute to help and they give you all sorts of items.
Some things don’t get in the way, but exploring the map and saving wisps can help you find other collectibles you haven’t picked up yet, or discover areas you didn’t know about before.
3 collect anytime
This goes without saying, don’t ignore the Inferno Fruit or Moon Pearl you find and think you can come back to it later. The same applies to chests that get in the way. Because chests help you get stronger and upgrade your skills.
You may not complete the map on your first visit to a location. Part of it may have to do with not having access to the right element. But if you can clear paths, destroy roots, grow flowers, etc. to reach another level you haven’t explored before and reach the item, do it.
2 invest in the right skills
Onyx Rose and Moon Pearl are rare, so spend them on the best skills possible. That said, many skills don’t come cheap. This includes the best skills we want to reference here.
These skills are useful not only during combat, but also during puzzle-solving explorations that require excellent teamwork between Cereza and Cheshire. Onyx Rose and Moon don’t want to spend all of his pearls on skills that are relatively unfavorable for the duo.
1 Area re-exploration after the main story ends
If you think you’re done, think again. There are extras you want to visit to expand the lore, and even places you want to go just to fully complete the game. Needless to say, some areas can only be properly accessed after finishing the main story.
If you’re a clothing collector, it’s important to return to other areas to complete time challenges faster. It’s fun to do.
