I'm going to repost my answer to this question from the Bayonetta 2 and Masked Lumen pages because given the knowledge presented in both games, it makes sense as to how they are needed to awaken her besides the summoning as well as be the source of power of Aesir.

The Eyes are supposed to hold the power of creation when brought together, as Jeanne says when she's sealing Bayonetta away. Loptr, as Aesir, wanted to rule over the universe with this power and was unable to do so when he was defeated. His later influence on Balder would bring the Eyes together for the same purpose because that's what they do. The Eyes, when brought together, can trigger the powers of creation within a particular realm's ruler (Aesir for the realm of chaos in Bayonetta 2, Jubileus for the realm of light in Bayonetta) and they would then remake the universe with that power in order to rule over it. The angels seem to know this would happen, based on the new dialogue from Fortitudo in Bayonetta 2, which is why he claims the Eyes belong to only Jubileus and why they were so insistant on her ressurection using the Eyes in the first game.

Since Balder does survive the destruction of Jubileus, it's conceivable that he was alive when she was awakened using the Eyes and that she could've be controlled by him/Loptr once she achieved full strength. However, she wasn't given all of the Eyes' power thanks to only posessing the Right Eye when ressurected (reflecting what happened initially with Loptr when he had to fight Bayonetta in order to get the Left Eye). Even though both of the Eyes triggered her return, she only had the power of one and was able to be destroyed.

As an expansion to that post, we already know that the Auditio aren't dead despite being destroyed by Bayonetta in the first game. They act much like the demons, able to be summoned, but not destroyed when defeated. The same thing conceivably happened to Jubileus which is why she's able to come back in Bayonetta 2.
