How to Find Verse 3 in Chapter 2 in Bayonetta 3: A Streamer‘s Guide

Hey there! If you‘re playing through the sensational new hack ‘n slash adventure Bayonetta 3, you may be wondering: how do I find Verse 3 hidden in Chapter 2? As an avid fan since the sultry Umbra Witch first debuted on PS3 and Xbox 360 back in 2009, allow me – your friendly neighborhood games streamer – to help you on your demon-slaying quest.

In this extended guide, I‘ll explain everything you need to know about tracking down that sneaky Verse 3 in Chapter 2 of everyone‘s favorite witchy time-slowing action game. Let‘s dive in!

Backstory – The Return of the Umbra Witch

For those who haven‘t played the previous two Bayonetta games, here‘s a quick recap. You take control of the coolest, most stylish witch around – the one and only Bayonetta! She‘s got guns in her high heels, wicked fast action controls, and can summon massive demons using her beautiful hair (yes, her hair!).

In the last game, Bayonetta teamed up with her friend Jeanne to take down some nasty angels in a European city while searching for clues to her past life. At the end spoiler, she discovers she is the forbidden Left Eye – meaning she‘s in danger from forces in the heavenly realms.

Now in Bayonetta 3, a mysterious evil has emerged tied to the origins of the Umbra Witches. Alongside old friends and new allies like the brash punk witch Viola, Bayonetta must master her abilities to take on powerful foes using her signature Witch Time and Torture Attacks.

Okay, history lesson over! Now onto the important stuff: tracking down Verse 3.

What Are Verses and Why Do You Need Them?

As you play through the chapters of Bayonetta 3, you‘ll notice glowing purple stones hidden in out-of-the-way locations. These are called Verses!

Collecting Verses is crucial because each one unlocks new skills and weapon abilities for Bayonetta to use in her demon-hunting journey. With every Verse, you can extend combos, unleash more brutal finishers, and gain access to helpful summons.

In each chapter, gathering a certain number of Verses grants small power ups like extra items or currency. But collecting ALL the Verses in a chapter gives you a bigger reward – we‘re talking new costumes, expanded health bars, or even super powered versions of weapons.

So for completest fans like myself, grabbing each and every Verse is a must! Let me walk you through exactly how to find tricky Verse 3 in Chapter 2.

Chapter 2: Tokyo High-Rise Rampage

The second chapter throws Bayonetta into the glittering skyscrapers of Tokyo as she pursues mysterious entities responsible for unleashing demonic forces. After surfing on a fighter jet and battling a massive dragon mid-air, Bayonetta touches down for more urban combat.

Verse 3 is tucked away inside an office high-rise with a massive digital billboard out front reading "DFH". This is your target building! To grab this verse, you‘ll need to:

Scale the exterior of the skyscraper – look for a bus stop shelter outside the entrance you can use to gain access to the lower floors.
Climb up the building by witch walking until you reach the fifth floor balcony just under the Japanese lettering on the DFH sign.
Break the glass and hop inside. Follow the purple glow to the Verse floating there waiting for you!

Now, there are few things to keep in mind:

A timed angelic challenge will activate right outside the DFH building. Be prepared to fend off flying enemies while navigating the glass exterior.
Use witch time dodges to safely counterattack angels and position yourself to climb. The panther form comes in handy too for covering vertical distance quicker.
Inside, be watchful for any ambush attacks from above or below before snagging Verse 3. Don‘t let your guard down!

Equip These Weapons and Accessories

To make getting Verse 3 a breeze, I recommend bringing these goodies into Chapter 2:

Kafka – This speedy whip lets you latch onto far away objects to cross gaps during the outside skyscraper section.
Takemikazuchi – The lighting powered hammer hits flying angels hard. Its charged attacks also come in handy if any larger demons obstruct the inside fifth floor verse location.
Moon of Mahaa-Kalaa – This accessory will give you a nice buffer against attacks as you traverse the exterior and interior of the building.
Pulley‘s Butterfly – Extra witch time duration from this accessory never hurts! Slow down those pesky angels.

And don‘t forget to equip Infernal Demon Phantasmaraneae when available – his fiery spider form is great for crowd control on the fifth floor balcony.

Tips for New Players

If you‘re new to Bayonetta‘s balletic style of action, don‘t sweat! Here are some tips to help you snag verse 3:

Take time to learn dodge offset – this lets you quickly activate witch time after attacks to counter enemies and chain combos. Crucial for the mobs outside and inside the building!
Practice mixing your guns (Scarborough Fair is a great default) and kicks to juggle multiple foes in the air simultaneously. This prevents angels from overwhelming you.
Buy some green lollipops from Rodin‘s shop to give yourself more health if you take damage during the skyscraper ascent.
On lower difficulties, you can use witch time more liberally as you climb the building. But on Infinite Climax mode, be smart and use it only for major attacks that can knock you off.
Don‘t be afraid to use the wonderful new Demon Slave mechanic on larger demons you encounter! Overpower them by making them attack other enemies.

See – with the right prep work, you can stylishly seize Verse 3 in no time. Now get out there and unlock crazy new combos for the badass Bayonetta! And let me know if you need any other tips for mastering Bayo‘s wicked moves against the forces of Paradiso and Inferno.
