Optional Challenges

Discover the optional challenges in Cuphead: The Delicious Last Course. Learn strategies and tips to overcome every hidden obstacle and boss.

The Delicious Last Course DLC for Cuphead introduces new challenges beyond the main story. These optional encounters test your skills with unique mechanics and boss fights, offering a chance to further master the game's demanding gameplay.

Optional Challenges:

1. Secret Bosses: The DLC includes secret boss encounters that are not part of the main questline. These fights often require specific strategies or the discovery of hidden paths to access.
2. S-Rank and Pacifist Runs: As in the base game, players can aim for S-ranks on all levels, which requires completing them quickly, with high health, and performing parries. Additionally, some levels may offer a pacifist route, where the boss is defeated without directly attacking them, relying on environmental interactions or specific conditions.
3. Ms. Chalice's Unique Abilities: Playing as Ms. Chalice unlocks new ways to approach existing challenges. Her double jump, parry dash, and invincible roll can be used to overcome obstacles and defeat enemies in ways not possible with Cuphead or Mugman.
4. New Weapons and Charms: Experimenting with the new weapons and charms introduced in the DLC can open up new strategies for both new and old bosses, potentially making optional challenges more manageable or offering different playstyles.
