Saltbaker Phase 2: Salt Shaker

Learn how to defeat Chef Saltbaker in Cuphead: The Delicious Last Course. This guide covers his attacks, phases, and strategies for beating this final boss.

Stats / Weaknesses:

• Boss: Chef Saltbaker
• DLC: The Delicious Last Course
• Location: Bakery Cellar
• Weakness: Not explicitly stated, but all attacks deal damage. Focus on parrying and dodging.

Phases:

1. Phase 1: Chef Saltbaker's Kitchen: Saltbaker attacks with various kitchen utensils and ingredients. He will throw knives, toss rolling pins, and summon sentient salt and pepper shakers.
2. Phase 2: The Fiery Oven: Saltbaker jumps into his oven and attacks with fire-based projectiles and waves. The arena will also become hazardous with flames.
3. Phase 3: The Sentient Wondertart: The Wondertart itself becomes a monstrous entity and attacks with its own set of projectiles and melee attacks.
4. Phase 4: Saltbaker's Desperation: In his final moments, Saltbaker unleashes his most powerful attacks, including a barrage of salt shakers and a large, sweeping flame attack.

Strategy:

• Phase 1: Focus on dodging Saltbaker's projectiles and parrying the pink salt shakers. Use your most powerful weapon to deal consistent damage.
• Phase 2: Stay mobile and avoid the flames. Prioritize dodging over attacking when necessary. The rolling pin attack can be parried.
• Phase 3: The Wondertart has a predictable pattern. Learn its attack timings and find openings to strike. Be ready to parry its pink projectiles.
• Phase 4: This phase is a test of endurance. Keep your cool, focus on dodging the rapid attacks, and chip away at Saltbaker's health. The large flame sweep can be avoided by staying close to the bottom of the screen.
