How Many Chapters Are There in Bayonetta 3?
In total, there are 20 chapters in Bayonetta 3, though not all of them are treated as such. The game effectively has two prologues, which, in addition to its four side chapters, means that there are only 14 numbered chapters. This is two fewer than can be found in both the first and second Bayonetta titles, though both of those games only feature two non-numbered chapters, meaning that Bayonetta 3 technically comes out on top.
