Quick Money-Raising: The One Million Halo Run

Are you growing impatient with the rate at which you earn money for buying goodies at The Gates of Hell? Are you trying to get that special accessory, that perfect costume, or that all-important Platinum Ticket (see next section)? If so, this is the section for you! Near the end of your first run through Story mode, there’s a way to quickly get all the money you want. Read on to find out how!

Requirements

Crow Within (Buy from The Gates of Hell)

Gaze of Despair and Selene’s Light (Buy from The Gates of Hell)

Chapter X: The Depths (Play through Story mode until this chapter is accessible)

Step 1

Go to Chapter X: The Depths. Once the chapter begins, grab the Midas’s Testament from the chest across the gap to the right. You’ll have to make a running jump with Panther Within, then switch to Crow Within in mid-air to clear the gap. Exit the chapter and re-enter it; the Testament will have reappeared to grab again! Repeat until you have as many as you’re satisfied with: between 10 and 15 is a good amount. This is the most optional step. Combos yield more Halos than the Testament, but it’s nice to have the boost.

Step 2

Equip the Midas’s Testament to one of your item slots, and the Gaze of Despair and Selene’s Light to your accessory slots.

Step 3

Enter Chapter XIV (2nd Climax difficulty is recommended), and during every battle keep activating the Midas’s Testament if you brought them, making sure its effects are active at all times in every Verse. It’s not required to use them outside of a Verse.

Step 4

As you battle enemies with (or without) the Midas’s Testament’s effects active, use PPP combos, while holding P after every press. The Umbran Armor fires guns that rapidly increase Bayonetta’s score and give off tons of Halos. Keep your combo count up between fighting enemies for a huge score bonus at the end of every Verse! Also be sure to use Umbran Climax as much as possible for more Halos and higher score. Don’t worry about getting hit. Keeping the combo going is the highest priority.

Step 5

Repeat until the stage has ended. If you performed all steps correctly, you’ll have made more than 1,000,000 Halos in under 10 minutes!

Feel free to repeat Steps 1-5 until you have as many Halos as you want, then go on a shopping spree!
