Third Secret: Say "Halo" to financial independence!
Maybe you're balking at the price that some of these subconscious items volition run you. Worry not! Let us guide y'all on the road to more than Halos than you know what to exercise with. Y'all'll be seeing so much gilded you'll demand to invest in a pair of shades in no fourth dimension.

14Earn Halos fast with the bona fide method preferred by the fabulously wealthy PlatinumGames evolution team. Here'southward how:

You lot'll be playing Verse ane of the Prologue stage, with Rosa as your graphic symbol. If you lot can't select Rosa, you can make practice with another graphic symbol by equipping the Earrings of Ruin. You'll also demand to use the Gaze of Despair no affair which grapheme yous choose. If you're playing as Rosa, and so your second accessory can be whatever y'all like.

Are you ready? Here'southward the tricky part:

When you lot're contesting on the fighter jet, there'due south actually no upper limit to the number of enemies that can appear. The game merely proceeds to the side by side phase after a certain amount of time has passed. In other words, equally long every bit y'all keep killing enemies, they'll keep coming – and the more Halos you tin earn!

To showtime off, simply trounce downwards a bunch of Angels, build up your magical powers and outburst into Umbran Climax. Since you're playing every bit Rosa OR using the Earrings of Ruin, that means Umbran Armor.

With Umbran Armor, y'all can concord down your kick button for a powerful assail that takes downwardly these Angels in a single hit. During Witch Time, your philharmonic points are multiplied by i.five. If your enemies are enraged (and they will exist, if you're using the Gaze of Despair) that'southward another one.5 multiplier. If you use a Bloody Rose Lollipop, your attack ability will rising way beyond what's necessary, netting you even more Halos.

How? In Bayonetta 2, the damage you deal is reflected direct in your combo points. That means that yous'll earn more than combo points if you state the killing blow with a more than powerful attack, even against the same type of enemy. Rosa's attack power is twice equally loftier as Bayonetta'south to begin with, so if you can use her along with all the betoken-boosting methods described to a higher place, you can earn a truly staggering amount of points. More points means more spending money!

We should warn you that, even following those instructions, information technology takes a great deal of skill to earn a ton of Halos. Hither are a few tips to aid you net some more change as you endeavour this method:

Tip 1:
The very first battle on the fighter jet and the adjacent fight right after the cutscene end after you've defeated a set number of enemies, rather than afterwards a sure amount of time. Use these get-go ii fights to salvage up every bit much magical ability every bit y'all tin can – the third boxing is the one with limitless enemies described in a higher place, and you'll need as much magic as you can muster.

Tip 2:
When in that location'southward a break in enemies actualization, or you're virtually to go into a cutscene, and you call up your combo is nigh to get cutting off, agree down the push for a taunt! Your combo counter will hold out as long as your taunt does.

Tip 3:
Keep your combo going with unproblematic gun attacks with the Y button while waiting for enemies to attack you. When they do, contrivance it and strike with your Umbran Armor's hold-K attack the moment Witch Time begins. Then immediately cancel your Umbran Armor to save magical power. If you detect yourself running depression on magic, use some other combos like P-M-P for a while to knock out some more Angels and build it back up.

Tip iv:
Enemies appear in sets of three. If you lot brand your stand close to the center of the fighter jet, they'll naturally gather around you, which makes it easier for multiples of them to get wrapped up in your Umbran Armor attacks. Taking out all of them with one blow is mode more efficient!

Tip 5:
You'll have already received your Halos by the time the Poesy one results screen comes up, and so y'all tin return to the Chapter Select straight away. You can echo Poetry ane over and over over again to earn Halos more efficiently than elsewhere.
If you're playing as Bayonetta, your goal is to earn between 500,000 to a one thousand thousand halos or so every fourth dimension you play Poesy 1. If you're Rosa, ideally y'all can rack up Halos in the millions in i go!
