Though the battle might be endless, I will never give up

I think you blow the bubbles to get him to stick in place and then get a prompt to slap him. It was not super clear but I somehow got a platinum even though I was just mashing buttons and swaying my cursor everywhere.

On Chapter 11 and it's fully sick, the game is much more fun when you're not fighting the new homunculus enemies who are a bit boring imo. The alfheim at the start of chapter 10 (Witch Time only with Viola) was horrible, I managed to get a silver with Moon and that's all it's getting, I'm not doing it again. Is there any mechanical difference between Viola's parry and the Moon parry? If not I'm just going to keep using the latter and trying to train my muscle memory since I can use it with Bayonetta too

you can do a moon parry without having her sword, im just sticking to moon and going nuts with her moveset which nearly all removes her sword

putting the parry and the dash on the same button is a good troll

Switching her controls to... I think D? definitely helped a bit, it changes her block to ZR.

The more I play the more unconvinced I am by her parry playstyle so I mostly just ignore it and go nuts with Chesire

E: using the weapon you unlock after clearing chapter 14 and it rules, so many good weapons in this game... might use this as my ranged option instead of abracadabra

what a heart wrenching (?) Ending. Definitely not just a bunch of gibberish .

Fun rear end game, the demon summoning is a fun addition and I think the wink slave feel is a much better finisher mechanic than mashing every 5 seconds on climax attacks in the previous games. Gonna come back to this whenever I finish Xbc3 to find all the Frogs and such

If it's like 2, its an average that only gets updated when you beat the last chapter again

There's a couple witch times I gave up on after like 2 attempts and realizing what the challenge was. Theres one where you like can't touch the floor after the first second that I just don't comprehend

I eventually watched a video for that one and just sort of spammed making it jump. I don't know why you can make the train jump and can't think of a single other situation where that would be useful or necessary

This is the only verse in the game I haven’t completed. I got about half way through when some turd in the mist I could not see hit me. I find a lot of them in the game are “find the single solution to this puzzle” rather than the more skill based ones in the first two games.

Trying to get all plat and I find it is a bit frustrating with off screen damage and how amorphous some enemies look where it’s hard to tell if they are attacking.

there is a patch that makes a lot of the niflhiem challenges easier out now. Also makes violas witch time easier to activate.

I finished all chapters plat last week and I am done. Great game, a lot of the shortcomings (everything with viola) are mitigated by some great gameplay and QoL improvements and the combat with bayo is a ton of fun.

2>>>>1>3.

The Viola witch time fixes were definitely needed and she plays much smoother now imo. It doesn't make it too easy or anything, it just makes witch time closer to what it is for the other characters and makes the risk:reward ratio much closer when it wasn't even really worth using before.

Haven't checked the Niflheim challenges because I don't care enough
