Bayonetta 3can be stressful when going for the timed platforming treasure pieces, but one player shared a helpful trick to make the forced animations when failing more bearable. Finding all the puzzle pieces is needed to earn rewards and soBayonetta 3players will be forced to watch the same collection of cutscenes multiple times during the game. Timed sequences always add stress but forcing players to see the same cutscene animation of Bayonetta failing makes the trial and error more punishing.
Before release, aBayonetta 3voice-acting controversyerupted with the change of Bayonetta’s voice actor from the first two games. WhatBayonetta 3retains from the previous two games is the same frenetic combat broken up by exploration sections of the dreamlike levels. Finding every one of the collectibles will take exploring every nook and cranny while using different weapons and skills to reach otherwise inaccessible areas. Collecting the puzzle pieces can be difficult as reaching them requires successful completion of timed platforming sequences

If players fail while going for the puzzle piece collectibles a cutscene animation of Bayonetta falling starts to play out. Players can hold down any of the main buttons (punch/kick, shoot, or jump) to speed up the animation. This method works regardless of the player’s control scheme after the initial cutscene viewing for failure. While significantly less punishing, finding theodd cat inBayonetta 3does not count towards any unlocks in the store.
Holding down a button seems simple but could be easily overlooked by unaware players. If a game does not involve quick-time event-style button presses during a cinematic, it is common for players to put down their controllers to grab a snack or look at their phones. While intricate animations fit the PlatinumGames style, players seeking every single collectible will likely get bored with seeing the same thing each time. Not every player is capable ofstudying Bayonetta’s fan danceto replicate it perfectly.
This time-saving tip was shared on Reddit by user swozzy21, and it was followed by multipleBayonetta 3fans expressing their gratitude for this discovery. Unskippable cutscenes have appeared in games before, butBayonetta 3relies on speed and style which makes them feel more disruptive to fans of the Umbral witch. One player expressed dismay that they didn’t know about this during their first run through the game and described themselves as suffering through each cutscene. Players should look forward to finding more collectibles in the future asExecutive Producer Hideki Kamiya has plans for more Bayonetta.
