Master Bayonetta's Chapter 1: The Angel's Metropolis on Nonstop Climax difficulty. Learn strategies for Pure Platinum awards in this detailed walkthrough.

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    Verse 1: The chapter begins with Bayonetta facing off against various angels. Focus on maintaining a high combo count by alternating attacks and using dodges effectively. Utilize the Kilgore bug (Durga on feet, Kilgore on hands, PPPPK~ move followed by Kilgore switch) for massive combo points and damage.
  2. 2
    Verse 2: This section may involve navigating environmental hazards or fighting larger groups of enemies. Prioritize keeping your combo active with gunshots or taunts during lulls. If a mistake is made, use the chapter save exploit by escaping to the title screen and continuing to retry the verse without losing progress from earlier verses.
  3. 3
    Verse 3: If this verse introduces new enemy types or a mini-boss, adapt your strategy. The Pulley's Butterfly accessory can negate damage taken, making it easier to avoid breaking your combo or losing the Pure Platinum.
  4. 4
    Verse 4 (Boss Fight): The chapter culminates in a boss encounter. Employ the same principles of maintaining combo and utilizing the Kilgore bug or other high-scoring techniques. Dodge attacks effectively to avoid damage, which is critical for Pure Platinum.
Tips
  • Combo Maintenance: The key to Pure Platinum is keeping your combo multiplier (up to x9.9) active at all times. Use gunshots (Square button) or taunts to prevent the combo window from disappearing during brief pauses in combat.
  • Cheap Tricks: Utilize Pulley's Butterfly accessory to absorb hits without penalty. Exploit the Lieutenant Kilgore bug for immense damage and combo points. Use the chapter save exploit to retry verses without restarting the entire chapter.
  • No Witch Time: On Nonstop Climax, Witch Time is unavailable, making combo maintenance more challenging. Rely on dodges and the aforementioned tricks.
  • Pure Platinum Requirements: Every single verse in the chapter must achieve Pure Platinum for the chapter award. One failed verse means the entire chapter must be redone.
  • Practice: While these strategies make it easier, consistent practice is still essential to master the timing and execution required for Pure Platinum.
