Chapter VI: The Bridge to the Heavens

The Bridge to the Heavens stands invitingly before Bayonetta, but Paradiso still has other plans. Enter the sword-and-shield warrior, Valor!

Verse 1

Boss: Valor

Isn’t it always the way? Valor talks big, looks awesome...and goes down by far the most easily of the bosses once you know what to do.

1st Climax/2nd Climax/3rd Climax/∞ Climax (Go for Pure Platinum!)

Suggested Pure Platinum Weapons: Salamandra or Chernobog (Arms)

• Enemies: Valor (2 Phases)

Phase 1

The fight against Valor begins with you falling down a giant tower. Bayonetta’s activated flight, but even so, there’s not a whole lot of room to maneuver. Valor tries to take advantage of this by flying back and forth along the tower, sometimes surfing on his shield, in order to hit Bayonetta with his sword or by ramming her.

When he’s far, shoot him with your guns or Kafka. When he’s near, attack him hard with melee. If you have it, slice him up with Salamandra! If you don’t have Salamandra yet, Chernobog is an excellent substitute.

Sometimes Valor smashes through the wall and pins you with his sword. If this happens, press the buttons during the ensuing Quick Time Event.

Phase 2

Take down enough of Valor’s vitality and the fight goes underwater! Your roles in the battle, however, remain the same. Shoot when afar (or use Snake Within to catch up to him), and melee when close. He’ll try to ram you or slash you.

For Pure Platinum, attack efficiently, don’t get hit, and keep your combo throughout the entire fight. Once you defeat him, press buttons during the climactic Quick Time Event to really defeat him.
