[WARNING: THIS VIDEO CONTAINS SPOILERS FROM THE MAIN STORY OF BAYONETTA]
This video features the boss fight against Father Balder in Chapter XVI: The Lumen Sage of Bayonetta. While the whole chapter is basically about the fight alone, I decided to mainly cut the dialogue between Balder, Bayonetta and Luka at the beginning of the chapter because, while an interesting piece of exposition about the story of the game, wasn't exactly influential to the battle and dragged on for far too long. Note that this video was recorded on the PC version of the game (released on the 11th of April 2017) and while playing on Normal difficulty.
Truth be told, Father Balder is an easier boss than the one coming before him, Jeanne: his attacks are telegraphed enough, he has a reasonable amount of HPs (while he seems to have a single life bar, you'll have to deplete it thrice, with a little QTEs sequence between each) and the fight isn't divided in different phases.
Balder's more noticeable attacks are the following:
- A three-hit combo with a sword made of light, which is the easiest attack to use for triggering Witch Time against him
- A blue sphere he will drag around. If the sphere touches Bayonetta, she'll be trapped inside and wide open to Balder's following attack
- A ring of fire spheres he will summon around Bayonetta and which will fly at her after a short delay
- Three columns of fire he will summon from below Bayonetta, with a short pause between each
- He will charge at Bayonetta twice
- A stream of light aimed towards the centre of the platform you are standing on, which will persist for some seconds
Also, much like the previous fight against Jeanne, the fight will be constantly interrupted by QTEs sequences. Most notably:
- Balder will call a satellite from orbit to fire on the platform Bayonetta is on. You'll be prompted to jump on another one: if you miss said prompt, you'll recive damage. In the later stage of the fight, Balder will just take the satellite and throw it at you: you can use the prompts you are given to throw it back at him several times till it'll hit him.
- Balder will take a skyscraper from below and toss it at Bayonetta. Once again, you can use a QTE to toss it back at him for extra damage
The first two times you'll deplete Balder's life bar, you'll have to summon a demon and attempt to defeat him. On the third and last time, however, you'll have to manually guide Bayonetta's bullet towards Balder's head. During this sequence you must be careful to dodge the glass pieces in your path, or you'll fail
