Welcome back to another Bayonetta 3 weapon guide—this time we’re diving deep into one of the heavy hitters in Bayonetta’s arsenal: the G-Pillar, along with its fearsome demon partner, Gomorrah. G-Pillar is the definition of power at the cost of speed, making it a situational but deadly tool in the right hands. If you’re looking to maximize its effectiveness and understand how it pairs with Gomorrah, this guide will walk you through the fundamentals, combos, and best use cases.
G-Pillar: Slow, Heavy, Devastating
Standard Attacks
G-Pillar’s standard punch combo is simple but comes with a sluggish windup—particularly on the final hit. While it feels slow, it’s consistent. The kick combo has a wider hitbox and performs better against groups, making it your primary option for light crowd control.
Charged Hits and Flame Burst Mechanic
Holding either punch or kick triggers a purple flame burst—a nod to its elemental identity. The charge is slow and unreliable mid-combo, but can work well on early hits to force spacing or punish large targets. Just don’t rely on it for speed—it’s a commitment.
Key Combos and Strings
- Two Punches → Two Kicks: Leads into a masquerade winged attack—fantastic AOE.
- Punch → Kick → Punch / Kick: Short combos that end in a Wink Slave activation, perfect for quick damage bursts.
Aerial Options
- After Burner Kick and Witch Twist are solid aerial extenders.
- Back Kick gives vertical lift, making it useful for initiating air combos.
Directional Moves
- Forward + Punch: Gap closer with decent reach and hitbox.
- Forward + Kick: Sends Bayonetta upward—aim-dependent.
- Charged Forward Attacks: Trigger double claw strikes; excellent burst but with high startup.
Special Inputs
- Circle + Punch: Quick, safe double hit.
- Circle + Kick: Shockwave AOE. In the air, slams Bayonetta to the ground with force.
- Back to Forward + Punch: Fires a stationary flame blast.
- Back to Forward + Kick: Leap and slam—a vertical, powerful finish.
Combo Tips
- Pause Combos (e.g. Punch → Pause → Kick): Trigger unique launchers, but the timing is finicky due to the weapon’s slow nature.
- Witch Twist or Circle Circle Gun can follow up launchers for extended juggles.
Gun Mechanics
- Standard gunshots fire bullets from the G-Pillar’s handle.
- Hold Gun: Transforms shots into purple missiles (stationary firing).
- Circle + Gun: Large AOE fire blast—great for clustered enemies.
G-Pillar Rage Masquerade
This masquerade attack is massive—one of the best in the game for AOE. A giant claw swipe that annihilates weaker mobs and hits multiple enemies in a wide cone. Use it when you’re surrounded or to clear space quickly.
Gomorrah: The Towering Flame Beast
General Feel
Gomorrah is slow and bulky. Its turning radius is limited, so positioning is key. It excels in power but struggles in speed.
Standard Attacks
- Punch: Bite in front; multiple hits if locked onto a target.
- Kick: Dual claw swipe.
Special Attacks
- Back to Forward + Punch: Dashing multi-hit strike.
- Circle + Punch: Faster version of the claw swipe.
- Circle + Kick: Large, sweeping tail attack; powerful but slow.
- Back to Forward + Kick: Vertical slash; limited in range.
- Special Grab: Bites and throws enemies—ideal for finishing off a tough target.
Gun Techniques
- Standard Gun: Purple flame blast with an arc.
- Circle + Gun: Shoots lasers into the air—limited usefulness due to aiming difficulty.
- Back to Forward + Gun: Fires a beam of flame—devastating but best used on frozen or stunned targets.
Performance Notes
- Best used against single large targets.
- Too slow for fast-moving or agile mobs.
- Pair with freeze or stun effects for reliable openings.
Final Thoughts
G-Pillar and Gomorrah are a duo of brute strength and methodical pacing. They’re not about speed—they’re about making every hit count. G-Pillar rewards players who understand enemy patterns and spacing, while Gomorrah delivers high-risk, high-reward punishment in boss fights or against tanky foes.
Not every situation calls for heavy weapons, but when it does, G-Pillar and Gomorrah deliver with fiery elegance.
