So if I'm reading the enemy descriptions right I think they're suggesting that the Valiance first arrived on earth riding the Chicxulub meteorite that took out the dinosaurs :allears:

Baal as a demon prince is typically depicted as having 3 forms; Man, cat and toad.

Here's his picture from the Infernal Dictionary:

Based on the discussion it seems like Bayonetta 2 is less, for lack of a better word, 'hardcore' than Bayonetta 1 so the people who were super into Bayo 1 and nailing Pure Platinum runs through the whole game with their frame cancels and whatnot find Bayo 2 to be easier and more simplistic in play style with less options, whereas the people who found Bayo 1 to be a bit impenetrable and tricky find Bayo 2 fits them much better because it is, frankly, easier to just play.

Bayo 2 also appears to be excessively strict about Pure Platinum requirements so people going for that notice all the sanded corners whereas the people just playing through the game who don't really care what rank they get do not.

I guess we're using different dictionaries because what you just described is exactly what I would call 'less hardcore' in a video game.

Its probably there to give you a reason to use torture attacks instead of Umbran Climax; mo moneh.

So it's a bad reason. Doesn't surprise me, it looks like a lot less attention was paid to the finer points of gameplay in this game.

I think Luka's failure has less to do with his gear being crappy and more to do with Luka being incompetent. It seems pretty obvious to me that he's supposed to come across as a buffoon.

e: Also according to the Wiki if you use Kafka with Umbran Climax it fires giant demonic dragonflies called Carnage instead.

If it makes you feel better you're spelling it wrong; it's Muspelheim and the plural is Muspelheimr.

'Loptr' is one of the alternate names for Loki along with Hveðrungr. It's a perfectly acceptable Old Norse name.
