Unlocks once you've beaten all Chapters on any difficulty - it's stackable with the trophy for beating normal, though. So just beat the Game on normal the first time.

Torture Attacks are executed by pressing + once your Magic Meter filled up high enough. If you've filled it enough get close to an Angel and press the above mentioned buttons and Bayonetta will execute a Torture Attack. During a TA you have to press a certain button in rapid succession to increase damage. Repeat 50 times, the trophy is cumulative so you don't have to do it during one chapter.

See "Nice Try"

After every Verse (most of them end if you finish a fight) you'll be rewarded a Verse Medal. You have to get 10 Platinum Medals for the Trophy to unlock. Platinum Medals are only the second highest level of Medal, so you should get it by just playing through the game for the first time. Anyway, the key to earn a Platinum Medal is to suffer nearly no damage and achieving a high combo while finishing the fight quickly. Pure Platinum Medals count towards the Trophy as well.

Creating Concotions just means to create Items with the ingredients you can find by destroying objects in each Chapter. To create an Item press and enter the Item Menu, choose the right side and see the recipes on the left side. To add ingredients press and hold , after you've added enough to create the item, rotate the right analog stick. Repeat 20 Times.

To get this, just jump towards an enemy and press again when you're close to him to use him to jump higher. Just like with Walljumps. If the enemy dies from this, the trophy unlocks. So just repeat it until the enemy dies. You can weaken Enemies by using normal attacks first to make them die quicker, though.

You have to buy the Moon of Mahaa-Kalaa for 200.000 Halos in the Gates of Hell. Once you've equipped it you'll be enabled to avert attacks by pushing the left analog stick towards the attacking angel. Repeat 10 Times.

See "Touch And It Will REALLY Hurt"

You can taunt enemies by locking on to them and pressing then. They will scream and turn red as an indication that the taunt was successful. Taunted Enemies will gain strenght and attack speed, so be careful. You have to defeat five taunted Enemies without getting hit. Once you get hit, you have to restart from 0. You can buy "Gaze of Despair" to make it easier as it taunts every Angel around you automatically.

See "Wicked Weave Master"

Equip Shuraba(Sword) and engage Witch Time. Immediately hold until Bayonetta charged Iai-Jutsu twice and release it once some angels are near you to kill them instantly. Bigger Angels require a beating beforehand. You don't need to engage Witch Time, but it makes charging Iai-Jutsu twice easier.

After you've obtained Kulshedra (whip) and have equiped it, jump while enemies are around you and hold . This will pull the enemy towards you so that you can use him to jump higher. After you've jumped again, hold again and repeat the process 10 times without touching the ground.

Near the middle of Chapter 9, you'll have to drop into a magic ring that propels you forward into a long tunnel full of tentacles. You have to destroy all of them in one single drop to get the trophy. To make it easier just keep shooting your gun (hold ) to slow your fall. Now destroy the tentacles by either dropping through their red core or shooting the core with your gun once your close enough.

Best be done on the lowest difficulty setting as enemies don't shoot as often there as on Normal or higher. The Key is to only get hit 2-3 Times per Verse to get the desired Medal. If you're still having trouble, feel free to use the Yellow Lollipops, as they grant you invincibility for a set amount of time depending on the one you used. Also note that you can shoot large missiles at the opponent for every circle on your magic gauge which will be very useful against the bosses.

Hard isn't availabe from start, so you have to beat the game on Normal first, once you've beaten Normal, you can play Hard Mode. All of these trophies will unlock once you've beaten the required Chapters that are stated in the Trophy titles. It's easy to notice when such a trophy will pop as the last chapter always is a bossfight. It is recommended that you collect everything on this playthrough as you keep it for the next play-throughs.

After you've beaten Normal Mode Hard Mode will unlock - It's important to know that you keep everything you've collected during your normal playthrough so it is recommended you get all the collectibles and alfheim portals done on your normal playthrough as it will make your Hard playthrough much easier. Once you've beaten hard mode you will unlock Infinite Climax Mode.

Witch Time is engaged if you dodge in the last possible moment. Once it is engaged time is slowed and you can deal huge amounts of damage to your enemies. Just engage Witch Time 10 times without getting hit. The easiest way to do this is by using the statues which throw lightning at you so that you can activate Witch Time 10 successfully in a row.
Note: Dodging without engaging Witch Time doesn't reset the counter, just getting hit does. So if you want to do it in combat, don't worry, as long as you're not getting hit you're fine.

Countering Attacks is a bit harder than averting them as the time-frame you have to counter is pretty short. Maybe you noticed the rose that appears when you get hit, shortly before or the exact moment it appears you have to push the left analog stick towards the attacking enemy. Bayonetta will then engage Witch Time and start a Counter Attack. You have to counter three attacks without getting hit or averting them.

Just use Dodge Offset and finish it with a Wicked Weave attack. I recommend you trigger Dodge offset by pressing (and holding) while doing that, press and finish the combo with -> . To see if you did it right - Bayonetta keeps shooting while dodging when you used Dodge Offset. After she did dodge, you'll finish the Combo like mentioned above. You don't have to be in battle for this, so just spam it 20 times wherever you want.

Enter the Gates of Hell, choose Techniques and purchase all of them. Their price ranges from 15.000 to 30.000 Halos. If you concentrate on buying only techniques first you'll get this before you even finished half of your first play-through.

Actually, those "notes" look like books with a purple glow, and most of them are in plain sight or near a Final Umbra Witches Resting Place (Chests), so it's unlikely to miss one. If you still missed one of the notes, take a look at this great guide written by cra. It's at the end of the post here:
