Follow this comprehensive Bayonetta walkthrough for the Prologue and Chapter 1: The Angel's Metropolis. Learn enemy strategies, find collectibles like Broken Witch Hearts and Moon Pearls, and master combat.

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    Prologue (BPRO): After introductory scenes, you'll control Bayonetta and fight Affinities. These early enemies use maces, trumpets, or staffs and have predictable attacks. After the first fight, run after Enzo and double jump over an edge to face more Affinities. The Prologue concludes after defeating Affinities and executing three torture attacks within a time limit.
  2. 2
    Chapter 1: The Angel's Metropolis (BCH1):
    1. After a scene, instead of going through the main gates, destroy all benches in the area, including those on a second level.
  3. 3
    Once all benches are destroyed, a train will depart. Jump back to the tracks to find your first [BROKEN MOON PEARL]. Obtaining two increases the magic meter. (Note: Not available on Very Easy/Easy). You can also ride this train for 10,000 halos.
  4. 4
    Proceed through the gates. Attack a strange wall/door until it breaks.
  5. 5
    Continue and drop into a gap to find an Umbra Chest containing a key.
  6. 6
    Climb back up and defeat the Affinities using the key as a weapon.
  7. 7
    Jump over the gap and unlock the door. Collect the first Antonio's Document and examine the broken statue.
  8. 8
    Defeat the spawning Affinities. The statue will repair. Activate it by pressing X near it and again to initiate a sequence. Dodge lightning at the last second to run across water in Witch Time and break the wall, which becomes a platform.
  9. 9
    DO NOT ride the platform. Return to where you found the key. A portal is present – this is an Alfheim Portal.
  10. 10
    Enter the Alfheim Portal for a trial: defeat all enemies in Witch Time. This involves three waves: Affinities, Affinities with an Applaud, and two Applauds. Completing this grants your second [BROKEN MOON PEARL].
  11. 11
    Return to the lift and ride it up. You can destroy most objects for halos.
  12. 12
    Proceed down the hall to the Gates of Hell (shop). Consider buying healing items, a Witch Heart, or a Moon Pearl (each 30,000 Halos).
  13. 13
    Go down the stairs. Before proceeding, position the camera upwards to spot a balcony. Jump to it for your first [BROKEN WITCH HEART]. Collecting four increases Vitality.
  14. 14
    Jump back down and continue down the hall. Collect the second Antonio's Document.
  15. 15
    Explore the right side of the central garden to find another Umbra Chest containing your second [BROKEN WITCH HEART].
  16. 16
    Exit the area via the main path. You will be stopped to fight new enemies: Applauds (stronger Affinities with easy-to-dodge attacks) and Beloved (large, slow enemies that swing an axe horizontally or slam it down).
