I just beat it this morning, so the strategy is fresh in my head. I used Scarborough Fair on both arms and feets. Hold every input as long as possible for extra damage.All Elfheims are completable when you find them. It's just that some are balls hard.
Same here, I haven't played the original until I got it with the second game on U and I'm not really all that wild about it. I do think it's fun overall but it seems like the instant QTE deaths are terrible. I wonder if they go away if you play on Easy as I almost would rather play it like a mindless button masher than die repeatedly because I didn't hit Y or see the QTE prompt in time.Finished it, gotta say it was disappointing. This game is just cheap at too many occasions. I already didn't like the rating system counting deaths on your first playthrough in W101, but here it pretty much equals giving you the finger, considering that 80% of the time you'll get stone because of shitty QTEs and other trial & error sections. Just adds unnecessary frustration (while in something like God Hand I couldn't care less whether I die 30 times in a stage, since it wasn't cheap and insulting). Haven't played the original DMC, but other than that, this was probably the weakest Kamiya game. Many setpieces weren't that memorable (or, like the whole ending, done better in W101) and enemies were kinda meh. Not many types and often not that fun to kill. Witch time is cool, but I prefer other battle systems like Ninja Gaiden 2 so far. With this bundled release, I also care even less for a NG+ playthrough (in which the biggest problems would again be memorizing dumb QTEs and the likes, since in battles I already had a silver-gold average, with many platinums...). I think I've enjoyed the story more than several parts of the gameplay, lol...
I'm hopeful for the sequel though, the demo was better than almost everything in this game.
Well damn, I just barely survived the prologue in hard. This is going to be a painful road D:
I already finished it in normal and unlocked the hard difficulty.If it's your first time playing go to normal. Normal is hard for beginners lol
In rodin's shop the weapons, accessories and treasures are mainly for second playthroughs unless your spending time in the challenge rooms where you can earn a lot of halos. Focus on purchasing techniques and items only. Techniques will make the game so much easier. Especially the bat within.
Ugh, I think they fixed the kilgore glitch
Oh well.

Most importantly, I hope this is gone in the second game. Or significantly dumbed down. W101 also had QTEs, but iirc they at least gave you like 20 seconds to react.
If you're good enough you can on first playthrough.
I'm up to chapter 12 of Bayonetta 2 and I haven't seen any instant death QTEs like the ones in the first game.
You'll be pleased to know they got rid of them in the new game (cheap deaths)
How do you get the Nintendo costumes?
Yeahhhh I'm going to save up for the parry, dodge offseting is really hard to get accustomed to in this game compared to Rising. Rising it was a lot more streamlined (you could do it whenever you wanted to, basically). Might be awhile until I get the parry, though. I only have like 37k D:
Link costume has parry.
Alfheim 12 is complete bullshit and seems impossible when you get to it. I actually got he 5 Torture Attacks requirement met by the time the Grace and Glory at the end popped up and thought all I needed was the 5TA.... but NOPE Grace and Glory took out the one hit I had left, and after 2 more hours of trying I haven't even gotten close to being able to complete this shit again. I'm just constantly taunting to build up Magic and dodging when I can which allows me to get 2 taunts off usually and then using Torture Attack on the enemy. It's just so god damn hard trying to dodge every little hit while constantly taunting and taunting. I gave up, 2 hours wasted repeating this same shit over and over was enough.
Link costume has parry.
Glad to hear its not just my Wii U making that horrible noise constantly during cutscenes, it really does get distracting after a while, wish I could install my disk onto the hdd to minimise the disk drive noise.The constant KACHUNK KACHUNK KACHUNK noises coming from my Wii U's disc drive during cutscenes are a real drag. It's not such a big deal, since I'll be skipping them all on subsequent playthroughs, but the whole reason I'm replaying Bayo 1 before I jump into 2 is to catch up on the story and my Wii U's trying its best to drown out all the dialogue. I've heard these noises in other Wii U games, but never just solid grinding for minutes at a time.
So far the Wii U version's been better than my 360 copy in every aspect except this one. What makes it worse is it's the kind of noise you can't just tune out like you could with a noisy fan or whatever.
Though expensive (200,000), the Moon accessory is a must buy, first play through, as soon as possible. It affords a larger amount of breathing room when you are getting swarmed and against certain later enemies, it is very beneficial. Being able to counter enemies effectively, along with dodge-cancelling keeps you engaged non-stop which I find helps keep the fight in player control. However, I also approach the game by spending the next 100,000 halos on Gaze of Despair - before I even buy any additional techniques - as that accessory forces you to get good fast but also rewards you handsomely.
I think you need to do this one on hard in order to get a crow.
Let's just say that I still have one crow missing on my PS3 save ;_;
Which enemies are giving you trouble in particular?
Do I need to beat the game to replay a chapter
I'm up to chapter 12 of Bayonetta 2 and I haven't seen any instant death QTEs like the ones in the first game.
Yeah it doesn't have any. Minigames are way shorter too.
Alright guys, its almost over, letting my gamepad charge a little before I jump back in for the last time, got my hot shot and mega green lolipop purchased and ready.
Uh, did I totally miss something at some point or how on earth was I supposed to know that for the QTE at the very very end of Chapter 2 I had to hold Y? Literally just had to continue 10+ times there because I was trying to either time the button press or mash it at various points thinking I was doing something else wrong. Actually pretty infuriated right now, just sunk me from a Platinum easy to Stone.
You press Y once at the right time.
It's a bit like the statues you lift and dodge at the right time to activate witch time, you see a circle getting smaller and when it's the size of the button, you press it.
About my pro controller issue, i just found out mine is a fake!
