This seems to be the absolute minimum required for chrooting:
cd /mnt/arch
mount -t proc proc proc/
mount -t sysfs sys sys/
mount -o bind /dev dev/
chroot .
I tried googling about "devpts" but all I saw was that "It is now the most common way for pseudo terminals (PTYs) to be implemented."
What does that even mean?

What you need to mount in the chroot depends on what you are going to do in it.

You're right. It does depend on what you plan on doing from the chroot. For example, reinstalling the bootloader only needs /dev and /proc. But correctly using pacman (specifically updating the signature keys), requires /dev and /dev/pts.
Marked as solved.

Depending on why you ask the question, you could have a look at arch-chroot from the arch-install-scripts package. It should do something sane for most uses.
