Master Bayonetta 3's Nonstop Climax difficulty. This guide details how to achieve Pure Platinum on every verse, including Alfheim challenges, with essential tips and strategies.
Walkthrough
- 1General Tips for Pure Platinum:
- 2Pure Platinum requires perfection in every verse; one hit or broken combo can reset your progress for that verse.
- 3Witch Time is unavailable on Nonstop Climax, making combos harder to maintain and score higher.
- 4Enemies have a 'stun guard,' meaning they can interrupt your combos. Never assume an enemy is trapped in your attack sequence.
- 5The primary goal for Pure Platinum is to maintain a continuous combo. Focus on keeping the combo counter active by using attacks and weapon switches.
- 6The combo multiplier can reach x9.9. Keeping at least one attack window visible on the top right of the screen is crucial.
- 7Use your guns (Square button) to extend combo timers, as shooting an enemy keeps the window active.
- 8Taunting can freeze combo windows, useful when no enemies are present or to extend timers. Taunting an enemy can also increase damage dealt to them for a short period.
- 9Cheap Tricks to Ease Pure Platinum:
- 10Pulley's Butterfly: Equip this accessory to negate damage taken, making Pure Platinum much more forgiving.
- 11Lieutenant Kilgore Bug: Combine Durga (feet) with Kilgore (any set) and perform the PPPPK~ move. Switching to Kilgore during the kick sequence unleashes a massive amount of rockets, providing huge combo points and damage.
- 12Exploiting Save Points: If you fail a verse (get hit, break combo), pause the game, escape to the title screen, and select Continue. This will reload from the last save point, preserving previous Pure Platinum achievements for the chapter and allowing you to retry the failed verse without replaying the entire mission.
- 13Maintaining Combos:
- 14Focus on keeping the combo counter active rather than performing stylish or varied attacks.
- 15Constantly attack or use taunts to ensure at least one combo window remains visible.
- 16Shooting enemies with your equipped guns is a reliable way to keep the combo timer going.
- 17Taunting is effective for freezing combo timers, especially when enemies are scarce or during brief lulls.
