There are loads of upgrades to unlock throughout your time with Bayonetta Origins: Cereza and the Lost Demon. Your goal should be to grab the best ones, and then experiment with the others to work out a good build. Here's what we recommend picking up:

Best Cereza upgrades

  • Cheshire Reflect - When in Together mode, hold the right stick out at an enemy projectile for Cheshire to deflect it.
  • Venom Thorn - Traps enemies in Thorn Bind for longer and makes them move more slowly while being bound up.
  • Witch Time - Use L at the right time to dodge incoming attacks and move quickly for a short period.

Best Cheshire upgrades

  • Chomp! - Hold down ZR to perform a powerful finishing move on weakened enemies.
  • Thick Skin - Increases the damage Cheshire can take without being knocked out and going back to Cereza for healing.
  • Claws and Fangs - Cheshire's base attacks are more impactful.
