Bayonetta Walkthrough

3. Story walkthrough

Go ahead and start the game on Normal. This game my take some getting used to so be patient with it.

NOTE: I put weapon achievements on the bottom. I recommend you work on torture attacks while going through your playthrough.

Keep these achievements in mind as you play through.

Discover all of the Umbra Witches' final resting places.

Click on Treasure Fanatic for a fantastic guide if you want the original, otherwise deexor has been kind enough to allow the use of his solution in this walkthrough:

You must find all the Resting Places, or the "treasure chests". Some of the resting places are somewhat hidden, making yor job harder. However, there are incredibly helpful videos on Youtube, made by hsypersakura2009.

NOTE: The videos are MISSING one resting place. In chapter 10, after verse 2, after setting up the wheel and turning the city, get on top of the archway on your way to the next spot. This archway is shown in the chapter 10 video at time 0:50.

Playlist: http://www.youtube.com/view_play_list?p=9F20B689D5F3FEF5&...

After collecting all the chests on a level, quitting to the chapter menu should be enough; level completion is not required, as far as I know. I'm not sure if difficulty matters, but playing on Normal worked for me.
