Accessories

Accessories heighten Bayonetta’s offensive and defensive abilities, extending her combat possibilities. All of the following can be bought at The Gates of Hell.

Selene’s Light

When this is equipped, Witch Time is instantly triggered when Bayonetta is hit if she has at least one full orb in her magic gauge. Depending on your dodging prowess and the difficulty of the enemies you’re facing, this has the potential to keep your gauge constantly drained, so be careful!

Infernal Communicator

The Infernal Communicator calls upon the band of “Little Devils” to attack any enemy Bayonetta attacks. Use this accessory when you need a slight boost to your offensive abilities.

Pulley’s Butterfly

One of the best defensive accessories, Pulley’s Butterfly calls forth a shield of butterflies to hover around Bayonetta, absorbing one or more hits depending on the strength of attacks absorbed. This makes a great accessory for those seeking Pure Platinum ranks.

Star of Dinéta

With the Star equipped, Bayonetta regains a tiny bit of vitality by taunting enemies. It may not seem like much, but sometimes it’s the difference between life and death!

Evil Harvest Rosary

When the Rosary is equipped, Witch Time is disabled. Instead, an explosion occurs every time Bayonetta dodges an attack. The closer she is to being hit when she dodges, the bigger the explosion. Purchase Bat Within to maximize this accessory’s potential!

Gaze of Despair

When equipped, the Gaze of Despair angers all enemies Bayonetta faces. This can do wonders for your score, but can also rocket the difficulty to insane heights!

Mallet of Rewards

When Bayonetta has the Mallet of Rewards equipped, enemies drop greater rewards when Torture Attacks are performed on them. It’s great if you find yourself in need of Purple Butterflies and Green Laurels, or just more money.

Moon of Mahaa-Kalaa

Another of Bayonetta 2’s best defensive accessories, this will parry any attack coming toward Bayonetta if the Left Analog Stick is pushed in the opposite direction of the attack when she is about to be hit. Why use this instead of dodging? The risk matches the reward—any attack parried using the Moon causes the enemy that launched it to recoil, giving Bayonetta the advantage she needs to hit back!

Earrings of Ruin

Unlocked after beating Chapter XIV, the Earrings of Ruin exchange Umbran Climax for Umbran Armor when equipped, giving Bayonetta an honest-to-Jubileus battle robot!

Immortal Marionette

With this accessory equipped, Bayonetta pulls off stylish combos automatically with the single touch of an Attack button. In addition, dodges occur automatically! However, if you use this accessory on 2nd Climax difficulty or above, all points gained in battle are halved.

The Immortal Marionette occupies a separate slot from all other accessories. Therefore you can use it in conjunction with two other accessories. The Marionette is unlocked by playing and/or beating 1st Climax difficulty.
