Weekly Report - 03/29/2013

This week I finished Bayonetta on Hard, which unlocks Infinite Climax (yup) difficulty for your third playthrough. It doesn't seem much more challenging than Hard in terms of enemy AI, or damage taken. This time around, however, Witch Time is disabled. Dodging still works, fortunately.

What's the trick to beating Infinite Climax, then? Purchase and equip the Evil Harvest Rosary accessory. It's relatively expensive at 100,000 halos but oh-so worth it. This accessory uses magic to drop an explosive charge on the screen every time Bayonetta successfully dodges an attack. The explosion is highly damaging and even has an awesome knockback effect on non-boss enemies. What's the downside? The Evil Harvest Rosary disables Witch Time - so on Infinite Climax, there is no downside! At many points throughout my Infinite Climax playthrough I noticed the Evil Harvest Rosary made the game easier than it was with Witch Time on Hard.

With Bayonetta completed (including all achievements), I now turn to Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance.
