Items

Items are materials and tools that can be obtained in both games, Bayonetta and Bayonetta 2. Most of them can be bought from Rodin at The Gates of Hell, with points during the Angel Attack! mini-game at the end of each mission in the games, or after the versus mini-games in Story mode.

Halos
"A very rare, spiritual metal containing the essence of an angel's life force. Used in business transactions within Inferno."

- In-Game Manual Despite their description stating that they are rare, Halos are actually the most commonly obtained item in both of the Bayonetta games. They are dropped by Angels of all kinds, are rewarded based on combat performance and at the end of each verse depending on the player's rating. Halos are used to buy everything within the Gates of Hell from Rodin, and they're also in cheat codes to purchase unlockable weapons and characters. Their design seems based on the Rings found in the Sonic the Hedgehog franchise.

In the Wii U Version, when the player chooses the Link, Peach or Daisy costumes, the appearance of Halos changes to that of Rupees or Coins (together with their sound effects when collected) to reflect the currency used in those games (Zelda or Super Mario, respectively).

Orbs
"A very rare metal containing the essence of a demon's life force. Used in business transactions within Inferno."

The demons fought in Bayonetta 2 drop their own form of currency that resembles crystallized demonic blood. While visually they appear to be distinct from Halos, the crystalline currency is added directly to your count, making them a cosmetic nod to the differences between the denizens of Inferno and their gilded counterparts.

Lollipops
Lollipops are consumable items that provide an immediate effect when used, they can be bound to the up, left, and right directions of the D-Pad to be used immediately without having to pause and go to the menu. They each come in two forms, normal and mega, with mega lollipops having double the effect or duration of their normal versions.

Free Lollipop Effect
During a cutscene where Bayonetta will have a lollipop, pressing down the button corresponding with the lollipop's color the moment she removes it from her mouth will grant the effect of one of the lollipops immediately after the cutscene ends. This only gives the effect of the lollipop, it is not obtained in the player's inventory, and it only works on scenes that cut directly to a fight afterward. This bonus lollipop effect doesn't count as a used item and will not affect your final score on a mission.
