You just need to hit the Y, X, or A button to put up a screen that will destroy the bugs, and hitting the button moves the screen to another position. There are only three buttons you have to worry about, and you don’t even need to hit them on the beat. None of them are too complicated, and the Bewitchment associated with Baal Zebul seems simple on the surface: beat her music section without taking any damage.īaal Zebul is easy to control. Some Bewitchments have you defeat an enemy with a certain weapon, beat a challenge in a certain amount of time, or play a stage as a particular character. The challenge comes from the Bewitchment system, a series of achievements focused on each chapter. It’s basically a spectacle dedicated to being completely over the top. If an insect hits you or you miss a note, it barely does any damage. So what makes this so hard? On the surface, nothing much. By controlling Baal Zebul’s singing, and with the support of demon glow sticks and sudden pyrotechnics, you’re able to defeat the insects and beat the bad guy of the chapter. Bayonetta 3 then shifts into a rhythm game section where Baal Zebul sings around Paris and destroys a bunch of parasitic insects as they fly at you in an attempt to possess Bayonetta. It was also the hardest challenge in the game.Īt the climax of Chapter 12, Bayonetta summons Baal, one of her demon companions that is a giant poison-spewing frog, and through an over-the-top ritual, Baal is able to transform into her true self, a gorgeous opera singer named Baal Zebul. By the time I was gearing up for the end of Bayonetta 3, I was craving some weird-ass moment to bring back the levity, and then I finally got one - a rhythm game involving a frog and opera. Those moments are there, but they feel drowned out by the melodrama and convoluted explanations the plot tries to present us. There’s not as much levity and quirky humor given the focus of the plot, which is a shame since irreverence was one of the calling cards of past entries. Compared to its predecessors, Bayonetta 3 is a much more serious game.
