Ignis Araneae Yo-YoBayonetta 3. Bound to the Infernal Demon Phantasmaraneae, the weapons allows for quicker movement and continuous damage at long range from the blades on the yo-yos themselves.
is a set of yo-yo like weapons introduced inAs with other weapons in Bayonetta 3, Ignis Araneae Yo-Yo is treated as a set and cannot be mixed and matched with other weapons.
In-Game Description[]
Equipped on the hands and feet, when swung they release sharp blades as they spin rapidly, slashing enemies while also spewing magma from their cores for additional damage.
The yo-yos equipped on the feet can also function as wheels, allowing the user to skate around at high speed.
When these weapons are used in tandem with Demon Masquerade, the user channels Phantasmaraneae's power and assumes physical aspects of the phantom spider itself, gaining abilities like wall crawling and web swing jumps.
Design[]
Ignis-Aranae Yo-yo are four silver yo-yos, with golden details that resemble the patterns on a spider web or even on Phantasmaraneae's body, the yo-yos on the hands are attached to the wrists using bracers that are shaped like the head and legs of a spider, with the yo-yos themselves forming the spider's abdomen, while the legs yo-yos are attached to the ankles by greave looking pieces that go around Bayonetta's shoes, both the bracers and the greaves have green cylinders, that are the energy cores, clones of Phantasmaraneae's energy reactors. When the yo-yos are thrown they unfold eight blades that spin around with fire, they are also attached to the arms and legs by what seems to be incandescent spider silk. When equipped, instead of butterflies, Bayonetta's steps and jumps generate flames at her feet.
How To Obtain[]
Ignis Araneae Yo-Yo, and its matching Demon Slave Phantasmaraneae, are automatically unlocked upon completing Chapter 3.
Unique Traits[]

Bayonetta's Demon Masquerade form when using Ignis Araneae Yo-Yo.
Ignis Araneae Yo-Yo is a medium to long range weapon and focuses on dealing multiple hits per attack as the yo-yo blades spin into enemies. The yo-yos can be extended to act as bladed whips, letting Bayonetta attack from a distance.
Similarly to Salamandra and Odette, moving with Ignis Araneae Yo-Yo equipped will have Bayonetta slide around instead of running, using the bladed wheels like a pair of skates. Pressing fires a ball of webbing that slows enemies. While in her Demon Masquerade form, Bayonetta is immune to lava damage.
