Infernals have always played an important role in the Bayonetta franchise and this is once again the case in Bayonetta 3. There are 12 of them in total, though only ten of these will be unlocked as part of the main story, with the final two Infernal Demons being unlocked by completing certain Phenomenal Remnant stages.
Though Bayonetta 3 does not feature quite as many Infernal Demons as the previous game, there's still a healthy variety to play around with. What's more, some of the game's Demon Slaves possess true or ultimate transformations, which, although similar in design, are considerably more powerful than their regular forms.

Infernal Demon True Forms
At certain points throughout the game, some of Bayonetta's Demon Slaves will transform into their true or ultimate forms. As one might expect from any kind of transformation, this makes them considerably more powerful, not to mention a lot more dangerous to Bayonetta's enemies. Sadly, not every Infernal Demon in Bayonetta 3 has access to a transformation. In fact, there are only four of them that do.
