Past completing the game, the main goal in Bayonetta 3 is acquiring unlockables and discovering secrets. Secrets like the four Medallion Shards and the Golem are strewn across the game, waiting to be discovered by exploring players. One of these secrets is the combination of Alraune, the demon, and Alruna, the whip weapon.
Getting Alraune and Alruna in Bayonetta 3
Acquiring Alraune as a Demon Slave and Alruna as a usable weapon both hold the same requirement of acquiring all three Umbran Tears in Chapter 3. Each of the tears is connected to a different animal that you can find in the Chapter:
- Crow: The crow is the earliest of the three animals, as it is located in the wreckage near the start. There will be a building nearby that the crow will be perched upon. Using the G-Pillar will allow you to reach the crow easily, but upon reaching the crow, it will fly to the highway. Using your demon form should allow you to capture the crow from here easily.
- Cat: The cat can be found past Verse 3 after completing it. There will be a long pathway to walk down with the main gate at the end. There is an alleyway nearby that you will need to search carefully. There will be a long building on the left side of the alley that the cat should be running along. Like with the crow, using the G-Pillar should quickly capture the flighty feline.
- Toad: The toad can be found once you have reached the broken train tracks. Fight your way through the enemies on the tracks until you reach the end of the tunnel. The toad will be on your left and, unlike the two previous animals, is quite easy to catch.

Completing Phenomenal Remnant 3 in Bayonetta 3
Another requirement for unlocking Alraune and Alruna is completing Phenomenal Remnant 3. The Phenomenal Remnants are secret bonus chapters that coincide with the game's regular chapters. Typically, these bonus chapters are unlocked with Umbran Tears and require killing enemies and completing time trials. While Remnant 3 requires Umbran Tears, it holds no time trials, featuring a boss fight with Alraune herself. Once this fight is complete, Alraune and Alruna are both yours to wield and command!
