Once you are a few chapters into Bayonetta Origins you will be introduced to Colm, a friendly Wisp who tells you about his friends who have been captured by Faeries. If you wish, you can save Wisps as you travel around the world and they will then return to Colm at the Wisp’s Hideaway. Aside from the warm fuzzy feeling you get from saving them, they offer some great rewards.

If you talk to Colm after saving some wisps, he will give you some prizes. These include health upgrades and extra Avalon Drops, and Onyx Roses, but he is also holding a Moon Pearl and an Inferno Fruit. If you save all the Wisps, not only will you be rewarded with the Elegant Swan costume, but you will also unlock the last Remembrance. This will allow you to also unlock the Younger Days costume.

Here’s where you can find every Wisp in Bayonetta Origins.

Bayonetta Origins: All Wisp locations

There are 42 Wisps to find throughout the overworld of Bayonetta Origins. The majority of them you have to return to after you have all of the upgrades in order to collect them. There is at least one Wisp in each of the game’s main areas, so you will have to search high and low to find them all.
