It's probably safe to assume I'll get the stone rank on every single level from now on.

Chapter 8

Short motorcycle level. The chapter title is "Route 666," which made me wonder if the Pokemon series has featured that same location by now. Sometimes these kind of single-appearance vehicle sections in games can be really badly made and obnoxious, but this one went by quickly and painlessly enough.

Chapters 9 & 10

A sort of narrative diversion into Bayonetta's past, set in Paradiso. Most of her amnesia is gone by this point. A lot of pretty visuals in this area. The enemy variety is apparently starting to run out as we start facing golden powered-up versions of previously encountered baddies, including miniaturized versions of the first two bosses.

Chapter 11

Third boss. Even though I got a lower rating than I did for the previous two, I think this guy is actually the easiest boss yet. Many of his attacks are aimed so far outward that you can just stand close to him and keep attacking, and he goes down a lot faster than either of the previous two. His final phase has a long animation when it begins, during which you can deal a lot of damage while he isn't attacking. You can exploit this even more by jumping off the platform you're standing on, which will make Bayonetta jump onto a new one, and the boss will go through that animation again afterward.

Chapter 12

Another short one, this time on a plane. It took me a while to figure out where I was going at one point, where you have to break open a pair of doors and go outside. This is also our third fight against Jeanne, who has a very similar power-set to Bayonetta. I find these mirror matches to be pretty satisfying from a gameplay standpoint, because it's interesting to match up against someone else who will use the dodge and break out of combos more like another player might. You have to change up your tactics accordingly.

By now Bayonetta has built up relationships with Cereza and to a lesser extent Luka, and is actively protective of them both. I think this is definitely a positive thing for the story that helps give it some more immediate stakes and makes Bayonetta a more sympathetic character.
