Tokyo: Shinjuku
After the cutscene showing a different version of Bayonetta, continue on and you’ll come across Phantasmaraneae which you can summon for the next fight.
Verse 1
For the first fight, you will have to fight two Beloveds. Summon Phantasmaraneae for help in defeating them.
Recording #1
Head to the right on the station platform to find the record.
Box of Figures #1
Check inside the wagon through the shed where the file is.
Witch’s Heart Fragment #1
Go to the left side near the burning building and use Phantasmaraneae to cross the fire, climb up the side of the building and open the chest where Witch Heart Fragment #1 is.
Bewitchment #1
Approach the building that shows MC Enzo’s show to unlock the Watch MC Enzo’s show on the giant monitor bewitchment.
Verse #2
Proceed to the next cutscene to enter the next battle. You will have to fight flying enemies called Lacunosus. They can be neutralized by Phantasmaraneae’s web so you can easily hit them. Eliminate all other enemies to continue.
Umbran Tears of Blood – Raven
Head to the circular building to find the crow perched on top. Depending on where you approach it, it will either fly left (circle) or right (straight). The easiest way is to get him to fly to the left so he circles around and you can intercept him quickly.
Umbran Tears of Blood – Cat / Bewitchment #2
Right next to the circular building is a parking lot where the cat is. Use Demon Pulse to dash and chase the cat quickly. You can also destroy trucks that get in your way.
You can use Phantasmaraneae to scare the cats three times to unlock the Scare the stray cats with hell demons 3 times bewitchment.
Deck of cards #1
At the far end of the car park on the right, you will find a deck of cards.
Time Trial #1
Right next to the parking lot is a cube for the time trial. Go to checkpoints in time to get Witch Heart Fragment #2.
Runner #1
Head to the building that has upper floors on fire near the circular building where you can find a scurrier carrying a witch heart fragment #3.
Verse #3
Head to the building with the blue square billboard and climb it. You will find the portal to verse #3. In this challenge, you must use Phantasmaraneae’s massive web and then burn enemies caught in it. You need to do this eight times to complete the challenge, and then you’ll be rewarded with a Moon Pearl Fragment.
Verse #4
Advance to another burning part further into the city. Use Phantasmaraneae to scale the massive water tank at the top of the building to put out the flames and gain access to the other side. As you cross, you will be ambushed by the next encounter. Erase them to complete the verse.
Verse #5
From the point where you entered for the previous verse, turn around to the left to see another portal that was visible from the previous area. In this verse, you can’t do torture attacks, so you’ll need to activate Witch Time by doing a perfect escape. You can also use your summons during Witch Time to quickly kill enemies. Completing the challenge will reward you with a #4 Witch Heart Fragment.
The gates of hell
Head to the next area through the foggy streets. On the right you can find another access to the gates of hell to stop and buy items or accessories.
Verse #6 / Bewitchment #3
The next verse is right after the short cutscene where Bayonetta hears Viola’s voice. Asperatus will burst from the display panel on the left. Watch out for its charge and time your escapes to get free hits in Witch Time. Watch out for his ground attack when he jumps high; a green circle will appear on the ground where it lands.
You can also use the massive web attack and successfully doing it three times will unlock the Stop Aspertus with Massive Web 3 times bewitchment.
Verse #7 / Bewitchment #4 & #5
This verse will have you riding Phantasmaraneae through the rooftops of buildings while battling enemies. Once you get to the top of a building overseeing two helipads, first head to the right helipad on the right to get a Witch Heart Fragment #5, then keep moving towards the other heliport.
You will reach a curved road with two of these purple trees. Approach them to unlock the Take a specific path while riding Phantasmaraneae bewitchment.
Keep moving through the buildings as you’re chased by another giant homunculus. You’ll also need to do some QTEs along the way, especially during the swinging part. If you manage to reach the edge of the track without falling into the clouds, you will unlock the Climb Phantasmaraneae without falling into pits or obliteration clouds bewitchment.
Box of Figures #2
After the cutscene, turn around and you’ll see a cube above the debris. Hit it to reveal a platform. Climb the platforms in front of you to get the figure box.
Umbran Tears of Blood – Toad
Just when you’re about to reach the huge buildings, head towards the debris on the left and you’ll start to hear croaking noises. The toad is just somewhere in the middle of the debris.
Verse #8
This verse has another Pannus, so avoid using your invocation to hit it.
After killing the Pannus, a cutscene will show the Twilight Wanderer Strider. It is quite a powerful and agile enemy that can destroy your summon with a single hit. To defeat it, it’s best to take advantage of your witch time and use your summon only when you’re there. Immediately back them up once back in normal time to prevent them from being hit.
Once you manage to subdue it, it will be empowered by moonlight and enter its second phase where the fight will take place on the side of the building. Keep doing the same technique until you enter another cutscene where Bayonetta finally overpowers her, but she will run away.
