So I'm enjoying Bayonetta's gameplay and craziness so far but I think I must be missing something in regards to these walls - the ones where you have to lift the statues, dodge the lightning, go into Witch Time, run to, beat up and progress.

I'm talking about the second one in particular (it turns into a bridge). I get to it and beat down but never have nearly enough Witch Time left to get across it.

I'm loving the combat but my patience always run out quick when I'm stuck on a tertiary gameplay aspect with not even the slightest idea of what I should do.

L'il help?

I was stuck for a while on this too - you have to attack/trigger the statues first, then before you press the button which activates Witch Time, run back to the bridge, activate Witch Time, then attack the bridge/wall.
