Bayonetta 2 Guide › Chapter II: Know Kourself - Game Primer

Items & Collectibles

The many items in Bayonetta 2 allow Bayonetta to get a leg up on her foes. Some are used immediately, some are used in specific situations, and some are just nice to keep around.

Currency

Halos and Orbs

Found by defeating angels and infernals respectively, Halos and Orbs can be used as currency in The Gates of Hell to buy new techniques, items, and more.

Collectibles

As you go through the game, keep an eye out for these collectible items! Each one you gather benefits you in some way.

Angelic Hymns Gold LPs

LPs can be found whole or in pieces throughout the game. Once you grab a whole LP, take it to The Gates of Hell so that Rodin can fashion it into a new weapon for Bayonetta to use.

Umbran Crows

Umbran Crows are scattered throughout the game in hard-to-reach places. When you find one, quickly scamper up to it and press the Action button to collect it! Collecting Umbran Crows gives stamps to use in Miiverse posts. Catching them all also yields rewards.

Journal’s Echoes

Journal’s Echoes appear in several places over the course of Bayonetta’s journey. Collect them all to gain insights into the story and world of Bayonetta 2.

Broken Witch Hearts

Collect four Broken Witch Hearts to combine them into a Witch Heart, which increases Bayonetta’s maximum vitality. You can also buy full Witch Hearts at The Gates of Hell.

Broken Moon Pearls

Collect two Broken Moon Pearls to combine them into a Moon Pearl, which increases Bayonetta’s maximum magic. You can also buy full Moon Pearls at The Gates of Hell.

Consumables

Consumable items can restore or augment Bayonetta’s abilities.

Immediate Consumables

Green Laurels

Green Laurels restore Bayonetta’s vitality. You can find these from breakables in stages, or dropped from defeated enemies.The larger the Laurel acquired, the more vitality is restored.

Purple Butterflies

Purple Butterflies restore Bayonetta’s magic. You can find these from breakables in stages, or dropped from defeated enemies. The larger the Butterfly acquired, the more magic is restored.

Equippable Consumables

These lollipops restore Bayonetta’s vitality, with the mega variety restoring more. These are good for when you take an unexpected hit, or want to stock up on vitality for a boss battle.

Purple Magic Lollipop
Mega Purple Magic Lollipop

These lollipops restore Bayonetta’s magic, with the mega variety restoring more. Use these when you need that extra power boost while fighting multitudes of foes—or just one really powerful one!

Yellow Moon Lollipop
Mega Yellow Moon Lollipop

Consume yellow lollipops to make Bayonetta invincible for a short time. The mega variety lasts longer. These are good for if you’re really stuck during combat, and just need a breather.

Bloody Rose Lollipop

These lollipops augment Bayonetta’s attack power for a short time. The mega variety lasts longer. When you want your enemies gone from the screen as quickly as possible, call on these.

If Bayonetta falls in battle, use a Red Hot Shot to avert a Game Over (and a trip to the Continue screen). Get back in the fight quickly!

Midas’s Testament

Use one of these, and for a short time, all attacked enemies will yield Halos (or Orbs) with every hit. Rack up the cash for use at The Gates of Hell!

Concoctions

You can Concoct consumable items from three collectible ingredients. Collect as any of these as you can throughout the game in order to mix them into various items!
