Bayonetta 3 | Devil's Duel | Secret Rodin Boss Fight | Pure Platinum (No Umbran Clock Tower) 

You were extremely lucky then, because if Rodin causes "Devil Trigger mode" at Baal you are dead (i think most powerful but deadly even to you until you don't use yellow lollypop)

Absolutely! Just wish he were a bigger part of the story, though. In that aspect, he hasn't really done much.

@@Lalapopsyhe saved jeanne from disappearing i guess?

@@echoooo5383 Yeah, I suppose. Then again, he just let her marinate in some magical soup, then peaced out until the end of the game. But it's something.

@@Lalapopsy lol yea

@@Lalapopsy like he shouldve had a much bigger role in bayo 3

Thanks! But same! I felt so ashamed when the game offered to just sell me his weapon after losing enough times🙃

Colour My World is by far my favourite wrapon, so I really wanted to beat him with it. I'll admit, it'd be way easier if I used the Clock Tower, but I wanted to do it without. And I know many people find Jeanne easier because of her infinite dodge, but I vastly prefer Bayo's easier Witch Time activation. After a while, you learn enemy attacks well enough to where you don't need Jeanne's extra dodges. Regardless, I have faith in you! I'm sure you'll beat him if you just keep trying.

Thank you! I felt the video was messy; when I was making it, I wasn't sure if I wanted it to be a showcase or a guide, so I probably should've committed more to the guide aspect. I'm glad it helped regardless!

@@Lalapopsy haha I see. No problem. I appreciate the help nevertheless also I am also messy so im biased.

​@@whereribbonsflyAny luck?

Understatement of the year. I have 300 hours on it:D

Thank you so much! Took me hours to get on video, which was weird, considering I'd pure-platted him a few times weeks prior with a weapon I'm nowhere near as good at (Dead End Express), but whatever:) I was also afraid the footage was a tad dark, but I'm really happy you liked it!

@@Lalapopsy yea, it's great! I love the subtitles where u explain the reasoning behind each demon slave usage. v_v

@@Daniyana Thanks:D

Eh. I don't really consider switching accessories cheap or whatever. Even so, I switched out the wrong accessory lol Thanks, though!

Come on, you can absolutely beat me. I even fumbled a few times in the video!

Yeah, that'd be nice. I can imagine people might have modded it into Bayo 2 or something, tho.

@@Lalapopsy I believe I saw one using Balder in Witch Trial 1 but nothing further than that. Cleary modded and the channel kinda look obscure. I still haven’t played B3, is Rodin here harder compared to B2 in your experience?

@popgas3821 Oh, I'm not sure, actually. I think he might be a little easier? But I've seen people say he's never been harder than in 3, too, so I don't know. I beat him in 2 with Rosa, the Bracelet of Time, and The Evil Harvest Rosary, and if you do that, he's way easier than with Bayo. In 3, I don't find him too bad now, but I've also played 3 way more since it came out than 2, so... I don't know. It seems to vary from person to person which one they find hardest out of the three. He's probably the most fun in 3 though if you ask me.

@@Lalapopsy I see, it's kinda subjective from person to person. Guess I'll have to check it for myself. I defeated him too in B2 using Rosa with the same set, but that was the most grueling battle as you have to be near perfect for using glass cannon character like Rosa. I guess at the end of the day you need perfect response like your dexterity is levelled up to the max level 😅

@popgas3821 Haha. Yeah, he's definitely difficult at first, but not so much anymore to me.

It really is. He's tough, but fair. He's a lot of fun to fight.

:D

Did you beat him? If so, happy to have helped!

@@Lalapopsy I haven't yet but I think this might help me beat him or at least get close to beating him? I've been able to fight him pretty well, it's just the second phase that gets me. Because the second phase is what made me lose a lot.

@@kevin_abel @kevin_abel Totally get that. His second phase can be a real bitch. When trying to beat him for the first time, I wouldn't even allow myself to take damage during phase 1, trying to save it all for phase 2, restarting if I took famage. Unless you're trying to avoid using it, I would recommend the Umbran Clock Tower, not only for Witch Time, but also Priestess's Tears. Also, the first time I pure platted him, I used the Dead End Express. I honestly found that way easier than Colour My World (I just wanted to use them for the video lol). Regardless, I believe in you! Keep me updated:)

@@Lalapopsy Thank you so much for helping me! I will update you!

​@@kevin_abelAny luck?

Jesus Christ. I don't even wanna try fighting him as Viola😅 Nicely done though!

@@Lalapopsy Simple: Shinobi Slide, Tom Tom Ballon, Block, Grapling Gun equipped. Shinobi Slide is extremely OP because it can penetrate all offensive attacks besides black hole and grab attacks. During witcht ime you can use tom tom to send Rodin upward and attack him. When purple vortex happens: Dodge at last moment. Her dog is even faster and better than Cereza's When white grab is coming: Just dodge Black Hole oh boy here we go: Immediately grappling gun away from black hole. Then use shinobi slide toward Rodin in the air BUT NEVER LET SLIDE TOUCH RODIN (cancel with R button then again). You mustn't touch/attempt to slice Rodin because Rodin can use Red Flinching Shield and send you toward black hole. When 1,5 x of full gauges are left use Fairy mode to use shots against Rodin. Only shots nothing else. Easy. I took down Rodin with Cereza as well but Hymn of Durga and Conqueror Reign. Just i kept spwning ball and during witch time i was with alteria using Quad Gatling nothing else. I also was using Train's accelerator.

Thanks! Might have to give that a go:)

Took me a loooong time too. I believe in you! Don't be afraid to ask if you need help:)

I know, I just wanted to stick to Colour My World for this:)

Ah, I see. Never even tried the glitch out personally😅 But to answer your question; little bit of both, honestly, though mistly concisely. Once you get to know his attacks, you'll notice how he telegraphs them, letting you respond accordingly. At times I do panic dodge a little bit (mostly towards the end), but it's all about learning his moves, really. Also, I find him easier with the Dead End Express, though I used Colour My World for the video. I believe in you! Keep me updated:)

@@Lalapopsy thanks for the encouragement and advice on dodging him etc! I'm sure it will take much practice (I'm sure I have passed couple hundreds of tries, just that last life bar...) and that every little bit of luck to beat him. I'll update.

​@@tetsuzanko5273Any luck?

True, but not against Rodin:P

@@Lalapopsy funny thing is I booted up Bayo 1 & 2 for old times sake and it was challenging but also so much more satisfying feeling like I'm earning the victories which is what I fell in love with

Fair enough. I prefer 3 myself. The combat is just way too good for me.

@@Lalapopsy oh yes, I love trying new combos with 3

Right? I feel like we're only scratching the surface of what stuff like Demon Slave is capable of.

Thank youuuuu:)

I wouldn't say luck, just time and effort. Definitely difficult, but a very fun and rewarding fight. Congrats, though!

Yeah, it can be tricky, but if you practice, you'll learn to avoid it.

Yeah, that probably works. I thought I'd rather use proper combos haha

@@Lalapopsy yeah🤣

@@snzsentenzaxd Whatever floats your boat:]

@@Lalapopsy at least that was the easiest Pure Platinum and my first to get when dueling Rodin

Not disturbing at all! But to answer your question, why not?:)

Thanks:)

Thanks:)

Who knows? Then again, I can't see him and Bayo on opposite sides like that myself.

@@MisterLG08 Nope. They're unavailable here and in the Witch Trials.

:)

If it works🤷‍♀️ Also found you can do the same with Rodin by using his secret move. Op as hell lmao.

Don't think so. Intriguing idea tho🤔

​@@Lalapopsy i mean hideouses summon, 8 formation is pretty op. Also rage mode train is op

@@bowserfierykoopaking4235 I'm so sorry for not seeing your comment until now! But yeah. I know he's really good, but he's better suited to deal with crowds or large enemies rather than single small ones like Rodin.

Probably the former. I remember asking the subreddit which Rodin fight was the hardest, and people said the one in 3.

@@Lalapopsy I mean hardest doesn't necessarily mean unfair, but i get it, it just looks like Witch Time actually does something against him unlike in Bayo 2...

@@AlmondMilkLake Yeah, Witch Time was comparatively useless in general in 2 if you didn't use the Bracelet of Time. It doesn't leave him vulnerable either in that game.
