Siliconera posted a new preview for Bayonetta 2 today, revealing details about the game’s second chapter. Read on below for a summary of the report.
– Titled “A Remembrance of Time”
– Takes place in a town
– Fight with an Enrapture at the beginning of the level
– Enraptures can make other Angels go berserk
– This is indicated by an enemy turning red
– When enraged, Angels’ defense and attack are increased
– Enraptures themselves do not go berserk
– Carry two sets of weapons in Bayonetta 2
– Can change them on the fly
– Demo had the option of swords and guns like the E3 demo
– The game has Angels that look like Centaurs
– You can ride them in Bayonetta 2
– Stun a Centuar and then walk up to it for a contextual command that says “Ride”
– Bayonetta jumps on after pressing a button
– The Centaur violently tries to knock Bayonetta off, but kicks other enemies in the process
– Bayonetta finishes her ride by tossing the Centaur which kills it
– The game has hidden black portals; Nintendo won’t comment on what these are
– Demo has a hidden mission where Bayonetta had to fight three Centaurs in a small space
– End of the chapter has you fighting a huge boss that spit poison blobs at Bayonetta
– This boss also had a stomp attack that dishes out serious damage, but it can be easily dodged
– Can use a spear from a fallen Centaur during the fight and the Umbran Climax, a new move that lets Bayonetta use her Wicked Weave hair attacks when her magic gauge is full
– The final blow came from a frog-like familiar that wrapped the boss with its tongue
