Navigate the challenges of "Just in the Nick of Time (5)" in Bayonetta 2 with expert strategies for Pure Platinum. Learn essential tips and tricks to conquer this demanding chapter.

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    The guide emphasizes the importance of maintaining a continuous combo throughout the chapter to achieve Pure Platinum.
  2. 2
    It highlights that a single hit or broken combo will result in failure for that verse, necessitating a restart from the last save point.
  3. 3
    Players are advised to use the Pulley's Butterfly accessory to negate the penalty of taking hits, significantly easing the Pure Platinum requirement.
  4. 4
    The Lieutenant Kilgore bug, involving a specific weapon combination (Durga on feet, Kilgore on feet) and attack sequence (PPPK~), is recommended for rapidly increasing combo points to x9.9.
  5. 5
    If a mistake occurs (hit taken or combo broken), players should immediately escape to the title screen and continue from the last save point to retry the verse without replaying the entire chapter.
  6. 6
    Maintaining a combo is crucial: keep attacking to ensure the combo counter windows on the top right of the screen do not all disappear.
  7. 7
    Guns can be used to extend the combo timer by shooting enemies.
  8. 8
    Taunting can freeze the combo timer and is useful when no enemies are present, and can also increase damage dealt to enemies.
Tips
  • The primary goal for Pure Platinum is to keep the combo going at all times.
  • Focus on maintaining the combo rather than performing varied or complex attacks.
  • Use the gun's attack (Square button) to extend combo timers when there's a lull in attacks or when needing to evade.
  • Taunting is effective for keeping combos alive during brief lulls in combat or when enemies are absent.
  • Taunting locked-on enemies can make them fiery orange, increasing damage dealt to them, but also making them more aggressive.
  • Utilize the save points within the chapter by escaping to the title screen and continuing if a mistake is made, allowing for retries of specific verses.
  • The Pulley's Butterfly accessory is highly recommended for its ability to prevent hits from breaking the combo or failing the Pure Platinum attempt.
  • The Kilgore bug exploit is a powerful tool for quickly reaching the maximum combo multiplier and score.
