If you’re looking to unlock everything in Bayonetta 2 without spending your entire weekend grinding, this advanced Halo farming method is what you need. With the right setup and some precision, you can walk away with tens of millions of Halos in a single run, allowing you to buy out Rodin’s shop in no time.

This guide covers all the necessary prep work and the full strategy for pulling off a lucrative Halo farming run — even while doing commentary!

Requirements Before You Begin

To execute this strategy, you’ll need a few key components unlocked:

• Jeanne: Unlocked by completing the game on any difficulty. Jeanne earns 2x combo points during Witch Time (compared to 1.5x with Bayonetta).
• The Hammer Weapon: Found in Chapter 8 via an LP.
• Bracelet of Time: Earned by getting a Gold Award in every chapter on Normal or higher. Alternatively, unlock it with a Cheat Door for 1 million Halos.

You’ll also need a stockpile of items, specifically:

• Gold Lollipops (for invincibility)
• Red Lollipops (to double damage and combo gain)
• Purple Lollipops (to fuel magic for Bracelet of Time)

Pro tip: Buy 3 of each small lollipop and 1 of each big one. But for mega farming, you’ll need more. Farm early chapters (like Chapter 2) to grab extras — especially Mega Red Lollipops which don’t drop in many places.

If you’re short, craft extras via recipes or even scan Amiibos if you have them. Yellow lollipops aren’t vital, so don’t stress about their scarcity.

Farming Setup and Strategy

We’ll be focusing on one of the Prologue fights, which features three phases:

1. First wave of three enemies.
2. Second wave of three plus some fliers.
3. Endless wave where new enemies spawn as soon as you finish off the last group.

Equip:

• Jeanne as your character
• The Hammer
• Bracelet of Time
• Gaze of Despair (for better combo scaling)

Item Buffs (Start of Fight):

• Use a Gold Lollipop (invincibility)
• Use a Red Lollipop (double damage/combo)
• Use a Purple Lollipop (fuel Bracelet of Time)

The goal here is to maintain maximum combo chain throughout the entire fight — especially into the final phase. This is critical for reaching Halo jackpot territory.

Combo Execution & Tips

• A fully charged Hammer hit during Witch Time can net 900 combo points instantly.
• To maintain the chain, use long taunts or ranged shots when transitioning between waves or waiting for spawns.
• Don’t get hit! Taking damage can reset your combo chain.
• When using lollipops from the D-pad, there’s a delay. For precision, pause and activate from your inventory.
• Use a small red and gold to kick things off, then manage your cooldowns and replenish as needed.
• Charge levels matter – only fully charged hammer strikes yield maximum benefit.

If done well, you can carry a high multiplier into the third wave, pushing your combo counter to astronomical levels. Jeanne’s added combo value plus Bracelet of Time’s time dilation makes for exponential scaling.

A full meter readout maxes at around 100 million combo points, but this can translate to up to 60 million Halos per run.

Advanced Notes

• You can activate Witch Time manually during weak hits to add bonus points.
• Menu quirk: You can access the item menu while attacking, but not while charging — plan ahead.
• When using Bracelet of Time, a fully held charge introduces a delay before you can re-activate. If you end early, you can reuse it immediately.

Final Thoughts: How Much Can You Really Farm?

Even a run that’s not perfect — dodging a few hits, awkward timing on lollipop use — can still get you around 60 million Halos. A better, tighter run can push that even higher.

It’s not quite enough to open every Cheat Door, but it’s more than enough to purchase every weapon, item, and accessory from the shop. With just a few solid runs, you’ll hit the Halo cap, and there won’t be much left to buy anyway.

So stock up, practice those charge attacks, and go make Rodin a very rich demon.

Good luck, and happy Halo hunting!
