Like Bayonetta, Bayonetta 3 is a game with quite a few secrets. Yes, there are things like Viola’s outfit and identity to review and unlock. However, there is another important factor to consider. The game basically contains a trailer for things to come. However, if you want to unlock the secret chapter in Bayonetta 3, you’ll need Halos, Old Picture Books, and access to several chapters throughout the game. Here’s a spoiler-free guide to more of that adventure.
How to get Old Photo Book to unlock Bayonetta 3Secret Chapter
First things first, you’ll need to remind Rodin to bring the Old Picture Book in Rodin’s Treasure. This is easy enough. If you beat Chapter 1, you’ll find it in his shop. However, you need 4,100 Halos to buy it.
There are two ways to earn enough Halos to buy it, and both tend to involve getting a few chapters into the game first. As you go through the chapters you will sometimes come across Verses with Angels as opponents. If you come to this guide after playing Bayonetta 3 However, for a short while, you may have been able to play the Jeanne Spy Action minigame at Hell’s Gate. You can earn Halos there, with Normal difficulty giving a rate of 0.5, Standard 1.0, Expert 1.5, and Peak 3.0. This is basically a way to go through Jeanne’s spy subchapters with an added challenge.
Earn 4,100 Halos, buy Used Photo Books, then beat Bayonetta 3. Once done, you can move on to step two. That is…
How to open Old Photobook to unlock Bayonetta 3Secret Chapter
There are three keys that appear in the levels when you beat Bayonetta 3 first. That’s for the best, because familiarity with the areas helps a lot when collecting them. You’ll need to pick up the Green Key in Chapter 1, the Green Key in Chapter 4, and the Red Key in Chapter 13. All three appear in the Ginnungagap section of those levels, which makes finding them a bit easier. . In many cases, the chapter selector will let you jump right to that section.
Chapter 1’s green key is the easiest to find. It’s hiding behind a rock after you finish fighting in Question 4. I recommend equipping Color My World or Ignis Araneae Yo-Yo, so you can use Madama Butterfly or Phantasmaraneae Masquerades to reach it. Honestly, it will be easier if you go through it and continue along the path leading to the exit. When you are jumping on a series of floating platforms, you can look to the left and see it.
Chapter 4’s Blue Key is more complicated, because it requires some grounding skills and quite a few jumps to get it sometimes. Once you start the level, enter Ginnungagap as you normally would. Once you do, will you see a large mountain that you seem to be able to reach? You can. The two best weapons at the moment are the Ignis Araneae Yo-Yo or the Ribbit Libido BZ55. If you’re good at the platform, I recommend the Ribbit Libido BZ55, because it’s faster. You can use Baal’s high jumps to try jumping and flying your way up there. If you don’t have one, use the Phantasmaraneae Masquerade to jump and climb your way.
The Red Key of Chapter 13 can be found shortly after entering Ginnungagap. While running through, you’ll see a sizable floating land with basically a spiral path around it leading to the top. Climb it. The path will disappear as you run, but when you look to the right, you will see a floating key there. In my experience, the easiest way to get it safely, and then safely return to the platform, is to equip Simoon and use Malphas Masquerade to jump and glide.
Do all that, and you can open the Old Picture Book on the Chapter Select screen and see the secret Bayonetta 3 chapter. It has its own unique visual style and different kinds of game elements.
Bayonetta 3 To be available for Nintendo Switch.
