Master Bayonetta's Nonstop Climax difficulty! This guide details how to achieve Pure Platinum in every chapter, including optional verses and Alfheims.

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    General Tips for Pure Platinum:
    • Pure Platinum requires achieving Pure Platinum in every verse of a chapter; no exceptions. A single hit or combo break can ruin the attempt.
  2. 2
    Witch Time is unavailable on Nonstop Climax, making combos harder to maintain and score higher.
  3. 3
    Enemies have a 'stun guard,' meaning they can attack even during your combos. Never assume an enemy is trapped.
  4. 4
    Cheap Trick #1: Use Pulley's Butterfly accessory to negate damage taken, making Pure Platinum much easier.
  5. 5
    Cheap Trick #2: Exploit the Lieutenant Kilgore bug by using specific weapon combinations (e.g., Durga on feet, Kilgore on feet) and performing certain moves (PPPK~) to unleash a massive amount of rockets for huge damage and combo points.
  6. 6
    Cheap Trick #3: If you fail a verse (get hit, break combo), immediately pause, escape to the title screen, and select Continue. This will reset you to the last save point, preserving previous Pure Platinums and allowing you to retry the failed verse without replaying the entire chapter.
  7. 7
    Maintaining Combos for High Scores:
    • The key to Pure Platinum is keeping your combo going. Focus on hitting enemies consistently rather than performing varied or stylish attacks.
  8. 8
    Monitor the combo counter (top right of the screen). As long as at least one attack window remains visible (approx. 3 seconds after the last hit), your combo multiplier increases (up to x9.9).
  9. 9
    Use your gun (Square button) to extend combo windows by 3 seconds when there's a lull in melee attacks.
  10. 10
    Taunting freezes combo windows and can be used when no enemies are present. Taunting an enemy (soft or hard lock-on) also makes them fiery orange, increasing subsequent hits by 50% but also making them more aggressive.
  11. 11
    Preparation:
    • Ensure you have all necessary weapons and upgrades before attempting Pure Platinum runs.
Tips
  • The guide assumes the player is playing on Nonstop Climax difficulty.
  • The guide does not focus on finding chests, weapons, Witch Hearts, or Moon Pearls, though some locations may be mentioned incidentally. Separate guides are recommended for these collectibles.
  • The author's original, uncensored guide with videos is available on their blog.
  • Practice and experience are crucial; this guide provides strategies but cannot replace player skill.
