one of the best ways to do it: -Go to Chapter VII -Equip Selene's Light and Gaze of Despair as your accessories -Equip Durga (Lightning Mode) as your hands weapon -Mash Y/Triangle. just keep mashing on that attack button and keep an eye on your multiplier. You should be getting it pretty high on the arms (5000x9.9), and once you get rid of both arms, try to NOT break the combo on the body orbs. it'll automatically give you the halos before you fight the head, so just build the mult. (9999x9.9)
What are you talking about? The Rodin weapon can be either obtained by beating Rodin or bought for 3 million halos. The platinum ticket can be bought any number of times, to fight Rodin any number of times. If you already have the Rodin weapon, the reward for beating him each time will be a red hot shot. And the green laser sword, Pillow Talk, is obtained from either beating NSIC mode or buying it for 1 million halos.
I just started playing (finished on normal, working through hard) and this is a great game. About this strategy - one little tweak to make it perfect - instead of constantly backing away you need to inch forward as you push him back. Once he is "out of the ring" all he will do is try to come back -straight back; right into more foot missiles. I pushed him way out there and just kept spamming the kick missiles until he was over and done. He had no chance once he got pushed out of the ring.
@TheOneTitan OK, after looking at his battle, this is what he has equipped. He uses the Pillow Talk light saber, Lt Kilgore rocket launchers on his feet. He has the Climax Bracelet and the Evil Harvest Rosary equipped as accessories, but no Immortal Marionette. If you do this, be sure you don't equip the Immortal Marionette, that accessory, though making you more powerful and faster, doesn't work well with the weaves he is doing in the video.
he also makes resident evil 4 references. somtimes he'll say "hey check this out, whadya buyin?" "Heh heard that in a video game once" referring to the merchant in resident evil 4...rodin is so epic
If no one, catched the reference at the end of rodin's attack, it was the satsui no hadou,also known as akuma's Raging demon from the street fighter games
@TheOneTitan He equipped the Climax Bracelet and probably the Gaze of Despair accessory along with having Lt Kilgores on hos feet to do those leg shot that also come out as wicked weaves.
Yeah, first time I fought him. I didn't notice any difference because I was dead in about 6 seconds... This guy was such a pain in the ass to learn and beat...
I wonder. Has anyone tried equipping the gaze of despair while fighting him. If he is a monster now, he must be a fucking nightmare with that on, if not impossible.
not sure if you know this, whenever you fight him, it will automatically set you to nonstop climax difficulty there is no way to fight him in any other difficulty
Wow I can't believe I'm saying this but this battle is better then Jeanne and Father Balder combined with Cereza. This is utterly amazing! Catastrophically amazing!!
I can say, that I am a pretty good gamer.. I'm playing for more than 10 years now and I also hadn't big problems with finishing Climax mode.. But Rodin.. Oh my god, this guy is just sooo fucking hard -.-
@GayLPer well hes actually not a lumen sage at all, he is an angel, because rodin fallen from paradiso and the platinum ticket is the thing that has rodin's angel power.and also the fact that he has a halo behind his head which signifies he is an angel
at the end of the level, you should have a combo score somewhere between 8,000,000 and 12,000,000 (divide your score by approx. 10, and that's the amount of halos you will be rewarded)
Considering time frames, I'd think it more along the lines of The Infinite One, meeting a young Akuma and teaching him the "angelic" version of this attack, which Akuma later changed into Raging Demon. But it's just a theory. A game theory.
@bayonettafan001 well, u have to get 10 000 000 halos for rodin to start selling it. but don't get your hopes up, he is harder than beating the whole game in infinite climax
I would have done that too, if I had known that a simple weapon could beat him more easily then the best weapon in the game. As matter of fact I used Kilgore's wicked weave attacks on every boss, because it was the best thing to use for me at the time.
@GayLPer That is possible. At the beginning of the game you see a bunch of humans ritualistically sacrificing themselves to become Applauds. So I'm sure a Lumen Sage could become and angel as well.
@souloftwilight the sword?, well its name is "pillow talk" but this weapon is a reference to Zero from megaman X, in other word's the weapons sub name is the Z-Saber
it is. but its really hard. you have to hit him allot of times without those wicked weaves to get the combo's up. BUT this makes it harder to complete it within a desired time. if you are trying to get the pure platinum on him then best of luck to ya!
@PrincePhoenicis: I think it is a reference to Madworld, while some could thing that it was for Army of Darkness, my money is on Madworld since they are made by the same company and Rodin kinda even looks like Jack XD
@Bragglord YES! Oh dear god, you have no idea how hard this guy is. He makes Sephiroth from Kingdom hearts 1 look easy by comparison. and that is HARD to do.
I found out how to do that. You have to hold RB(Xbox) or R1 on Playstation I guess. And then when the circle is complete push Y or triangle. You can do that with the normal sword to, it does the same, but with a red laser beam.
@GentlemanAeon777 i dont think so, jubielius rank is Deus one of the highest rank in the 3 heavenly kingdom, Rodin is stronger because he is a special boss in the lore he is subordinate.
The only thing i hated about fighting him with the climax brace is that it makes Rodin waaaaay to easy so i'm going to try to beat him without it because the lowest i got him without it was yellow...then he went ape shit and you need distance just to use shuraba's wicked weave.
You Know what....the Pillow Talk is the Z saber. Rodin is Sonic rings Handguns is Ebony and Ivory thats all i got so far but there is a shit ton of capcom and sega references
Pillow Talk, which is the exact same name as a green lightsaber like sword used by a character from Okami...is a reference to the Z-saber? lol, no. =P Its far from the only okami related thing in this game, what with the flowers sprouting behind beast form when running.
Here's a funny thing. Rodin said that he wouldn't put a chainsaw on Bayonetta's arm no matter how many times she asked, but when Rodin gives her the weapon known as "Rodin," He technically did put a chainsaw on her arm. XD
he dont look like no regular angel, he looks like an ARCHANGEL!!!! which means he's probly on the same level or higher as father balder O_O good god this dude is beastly
@GayLPer mmm i dont think so, i read the profile of rodin and it did say he was an angel. but wat i wonder is why did they have rodin dress like a lumen sage its doesnt really fit him, i think they could've made him have twelve wings or something to show that he is an a angel opnce upon a time.
well i like seeing spoiler's im an impatient person and those weapons man!!! how long did it take you to get them i just beat normal cause i got the game three days ago i hate collecting halos and doing things the long way i like to cheat i guess im just a bad gamer
@TheMasterFlay well actually, i know who your talking about, but that same dude your talking me about. has the reference to Zero From megaman X, plus, its capcom, they alway's want's us to figure out there reference's and which came first. (no offense By the way,i know exatcly who your talking about)
@cyberchild94 Ah okay, yeah I knew Rodin was in USA too but I wasn't sure about pillow talk. Used to have this game but farming the halos just got boring.
if your using the climax braclet he is easy but this battle doesnt really say anything cause he just abused it ive actually gotten a pure platinum without all those things on with relitive ease even when hes enraged
one of the best ways to do it:
-Go to Chapter VII
-Equip Selene's Light and Gaze of Despair as your accessories
-Equip Durga (Lightning Mode) as your hands weapon
-Mash Y/Triangle. just keep mashing on that attack button and keep an eye on your multiplier. You should be getting it pretty high on the arms (5000x9.9), and once you get rid of both arms, try to NOT break the combo on the body orbs. it'll automatically give you the halos before you fight the head, so just build the mult. (9999x9.9)
all of his hits are ridiculously strong. hes one of the toughest bosses ive ever faced (at least on Nonstop Climax)
4:31
Rodin sure did gave her a climax she'll never forget.
What are you talking about?
The Rodin weapon can be either obtained by beating Rodin or bought for 3 million halos.
The platinum ticket can be bought any number of times, to fight Rodin any number of times.
If you already have the Rodin weapon, the reward for beating him each time will be a red hot shot.

@TheOneTitan He equipped the Climax Bracelet and probably the Gaze of Despair accessory along with having Lt Kilgores on hos feet to do those leg shot that also come out as wicked weaves.
Climax Bracelet, turns Bayonetta into serious mode which allows her to use wicked weaves at will
those launching kick attacks do soo much damage.
Yeah, first time I fought him. I didn't notice any difference because I was dead in about 6 seconds...
This guy was such a pain in the ass to learn and beat...
yeah rodin is a weapon, actually angelic weapons all in one, its the weapons from the angels she fights.
I wonder. Has anyone tried equipping the gaze of despair while fighting him. If he is a monster now, he must be a fucking nightmare with that on, if not impossible.
not sure if you know this, whenever you fight him, it will automatically set you to nonstop climax difficulty
there is no way to fight him in any other difficulty
Rodin is a fallen angel. His "old self" IS an angel.
I bet even Gene From God Hand would have a tough time fighting this guy with both god hands more than any other fight he has been through in his game.
Wow I can't believe I'm saying this but this battle is better then Jeanne and Father Balder combined with Cereza. This is utterly amazing! Catastrophically amazing!!
i love how rodin is eclectic
farming temperantra with the lightning durga claws in your hand and gaze of despair :P
@IniquityAndMalice You made my day.
This music also plays when fighting Father Balder ;-)
I can say, that I am a pretty good gamer.. I'm playing for more than 10 years now and I also hadn't big problems with finishing Climax mode.. But Rodin.. Oh my god, this guy is just sooo fucking hard -.-
Akuma better check this shit out. He's a demon, Rodin's an angel, and they both know the Shun Goku Satsu.
01:25-01:32 Morpheus [Matrix] is back! It's time to kung fu lesson for Bayonetta.
04:25-04:31 Akumas [Street Fighter] Shun Goku Satsu!
it wouldn't surprise me if it was deliberate this game is packed full of refrences!
@souloftwilight no, you can get it in the USA version too,the secret boss is also in the USA version
Holy Rodin Rings! That was the easiest takedown ever hahaha!
@GayLPer well hes actually not a lumen sage at all, he is an angel, because rodin fallen from paradiso and the platinum ticket is the thing that has rodin's angel power.and also the fact that he has a halo behind his head which signifies he is an angel
at the end of the level, you should have a combo score somewhere between 8,000,000 and 12,000,000 (divide your score by approx. 10, and that's the amount of halos you will be rewarded)
i need to get pillow talk!!!
No pure platinum? That's a shame.
epic last hit! xD
yep...about 1 mil halos a pop =,=
Rodin vs father balder
Considering time frames, I'd think it more along the lines of The Infinite One, meeting a young Akuma and teaching him the "angelic" version of this attack, which Akuma later changed into Raging Demon.
But it's just a theory.
A game theory.
@bayonettafan001 well, u have to get 10 000 000 halos for rodin to start selling it. but don't get your hopes up, he is harder than beating the whole game in infinite climax
Oh yeah, the charge attack he used in the beginning of the vid is done by holding R1/RT...for a long time.
@WonderWolf13
that's a fully-charged Pillow Talk (secret) weapon.
I would have done that too, if I had known that a simple weapon could beat him more easily then the best weapon in the game. As matter of fact I used Kilgore's wicked weave attacks on every boss, because it was the best thing to use for me at the time.
So what do you get for beating him? Just looks like a bunch of halos called Rodin.
Raging Rodin.
@GayLPer That is possible. At the beginning of the game you see a bunch of humans ritualistically sacrificing themselves to become Applauds. So I'm sure a Lumen Sage could become and angel as well.
what you could do is make a save file so if he beats you just turn off your game and select that same save file again.
@ourdreamcatcher: Yeah, It's like a brace that he wears on his arm and a chainsaw extends out of it.
@souloftwilight the sword?, well its name is "pillow talk" but this weapon is a reference to Zero from megaman X, in other word's the weapons sub name is the Z-Saber
"What're ya buyin? Heard that in a game once." Lol best Capcom reference of all. That merchant is still on my brain. Stranger
it is. but its really hard. you have to hit him allot of times without those wicked weaves to get the combo's up. BUT this makes it harder to complete it within a desired time. if you are trying to get the pure platinum on him then best of luck to ya!
now THAT'S a climax
Jeez! Look at Rodin in the scene after the duel: he look like Kratos (except for the sunglasses lol)!!
@stacetheface47 On the 360 version, you simply hold down the right bumper until you get the circle complete, then hit the "Y" button.
@PrincePhoenicis: I think it is a reference to Madworld, while some could thing that it was for Army of Darkness, my money is on Madworld since they are made by the same company and Rodin kinda even looks like Jack XD
@Bragglord YES! Oh dear god, you have no idea how hard this guy is. He makes Sephiroth from Kingdom hearts 1 look easy by comparison. and that is HARD to do.
If he beats you do you have to buy the Platinum Ticket all over again?
Yep, you will still have the same amount of halos to buy the ticket and keep fighting him again.
4:31
Oh real subtle, Kamiya! xD
@TausMunk The awards dont even save if you use the Climax Braclet.
I found out how to do that. You have to hold RB(Xbox) or R1 on Playstation I guess. And then when the circle is complete push Y or triangle. You can do that with the normal sword to, it does the same, but with a red laser beam.
Wow, pillow talk is the name of Waka's laser sword in Okami also...
@Whisper0fTheWind you can fight him as many time as you want
as long as you can afford it
@GentlemanAeon777 i dont think so, jubielius rank is Deus one of the highest rank in the 3 heavenly kingdom, Rodin is stronger because he is a special boss in the lore he is subordinate.
I didn't think Climax brace worked in this fight.
The only thing i hated about fighting him with the climax brace is that it makes Rodin waaaaay to easy so i'm going to try to beat him without it because the lowest i got him without it was yellow...then he went ape shit and you need distance just to use shuraba's wicked weave.
there are also okami and viewtiful joe references in God Hand :D
thats an accesory u need to buy. hard to get though i think u have to beat the game in none stop climax mode
Can someone tell me how the hell I get 10 million halos -.o
You Know what....the Pillow Talk is the Z saber.
Rodin is Sonic rings
Handguns is Ebony and Ivory
thats all i got so far but there is a shit ton of capcom and sega references
Just thought Id point out thats my favourite Bayonetta outfit :P
did rodin just wrath of the raging angel? thats awesome sauce
Did you figure this strategy out the first time? Just asking. xD And pillow talk with that climax brace... Lol. Anyway, good job. :p
Pillow Talk, which is the exact same name as a green lightsaber like sword used by a character from Okami...is a reference to the Z-saber?
lol, no. =P
Its far from the only okami related thing in this game, what with the flowers sprouting behind beast form when running.
@Zaje45 Yeah I know. And yet I see tons and tons of Pure Platinum vids of this fight where they're totally hyped over getting PP with climax...
@TwiliAezure The chainsaw thing is a reference to Evil Dead/Army of Darkness
@Archonus Does his skin change color like balder's does when you use the gaze of despair on him?
Here's a funny thing.
Rodin said that he wouldn't put a chainsaw on Bayonetta's arm no matter how many times she asked, but when Rodin gives her the weapon known as "Rodin," He technically did put a chainsaw on her arm. XD
How are you shooting off those butterfly feet? Does it have to do with the Killgore on your feet?
Hm, who voiced Rodin? Michael Clarke Duncan?
Angel should all be this cool :)
he dont look like no regular angel, he looks like an ARCHANGEL!!!!
which means he's probly on the same level or higher as father balder O_O
good god this dude is beastly
Can you fight him again after beating him? The cutscene seems to suggest you can buy another ticket and fight him again.
wait is she using pillow talk
Yes, she is. :)
At 4:28, did Father Rodin did the Shun Goku Satsu.
@GayLPer mmm i dont think so, i read the profile of rodin and it did say he was an angel. but wat i wonder is why did they have rodin dress like a lumen sage its doesnt really fit him, i think they could've made him have twelve wings or something to show that he is an a angel opnce upon a time.
ulqiorra he says you have to gather 10million halos in youre hole gameplay and then you can buy it for 1 million
well i like seeing spoiler's im an impatient person and those weapons man!!! how long did it take you to get them i just beat normal cause i got the game three days ago i hate collecting halos and doing things the long way i like to cheat i guess im just a bad gamer
I'm struggling to beat him atm, would Climax Bracers help a lot?
and Raging Angel is more like 'Raping Angel' judging from what he does
rodin would curb stomp balder
Ragin Demon?
It definitely was a reference to it.
Let's get this party started.... Dante quote :')
@TheMasterFlay well actually, i know who your talking about, but that same dude your talking me about. has the reference to Zero From megaman X, plus, its capcom, they alway's want's us to figure out there reference's and which came first. (no offense By the way,i know exatcly who your talking about)
@cyberchild94 Ah okay, yeah I knew Rodin was in USA too but I wasn't sure about pillow talk. Used to have this game but farming the halos just got boring.
"No matter how much you ask, I'm not puttin' a chainsaw on your arm"
Quite frankly, I don't think a chainsaw arm really suits Bayonetta anyway.
if your using the climax braclet he is easy but this battle doesnt really say anything cause he just abused it ive actually gotten a pure platinum without all those things on with relitive ease even when hes enraged
@cyberchild94 Oh, was it in just in JP only?
masterll how did you do the one move at 28 secs in the video with the pillow talk.
which do you prefer: Climax Bracelet or Rodin weapon??
@OmniDude90 Or that actually,it still equal's as the raging demon or wrath of the raging demon
DAMN that's a bad ass weapon
@kagon01 no he is a fallen angel
he was banned from paradiso
in a way u could say he is satan now lol
I don't know where she is going to put that 'LARGE LIGHTSABRE' :3
4:27
WTF?! RAGING DEMON?! ....so i take it akuma visits the bar on his time off.
