Bayonetta Hidden Verse List

When my directions are especially vague use the Verse numbers as your general guideline. For example Chapter 2 Verse 8 should be sought out after finishing the non-hidden Verse 7.

Many players would suggest that you shouldn't even worry about these hidden Verses until replays, making avoiding spoilers a pointless distraction. There's some merit to that argument, but since many of these Verses (particularly the Alfheim Portals) also serve as training for more complex techniques, you might find the game more enjoyable if you try to be a Verse completionist from the start. This guide will help with that.

Verse 6 & Verse 7 (Alfheim 19)
This is slightly complicated so I'll go into detail. Jump into the enormous engine. During Verse 6 you need to use Witch Time to get all the way to the back of the tube so you can then access 7. Afterwards any projectile weapon can get you back out.
