Hilda Berg Strategy

Master the Hilda Berg boss fight in Cuphead with our comprehensive strategy guide. Learn her attack patterns, weaknesses, and the best tactics to defeat her.

Stats / Weaknesses:

• Hilda Berg has multiple forms, each with different attack patterns.
• Her primary weakness is consistent damage, especially with weapons that can hit her reliably across different forms.

Phases:

1. Phase 1: Human Form Hilda Berg flies around on a cloud, shooting projectiles and summoning lightning strikes. Dodge her attacks and focus on dealing damage.
2. Phase 2: Werewolf Form She transforms into a werewolf and charges across the screen. Jump and dash to avoid her attacks.
3. Phase 3: Bull Form In her bull form, she charges again, this time with a horn attack. Timing your dodges is crucial.
4. Phase 4: Shark Form She transforms into a shark and swims across the screen, spitting projectiles. Parry the pink projectiles if possible.
5. Phase 5: Final Form (Bird/Eagle) Her final form is a bird that swoops down and shoots projectiles. This is often the most chaotic phase, requiring precise movement and quick reactions.

Strategy:

• Weapon Choice: The Peashooter is a reliable choice for consistent damage. The Spread shot can be effective in closer range, especially during certain phases. Consider the Chaser for easier targeting if you struggle with aiming.
• Movement: Mastering the dash and jump is essential for dodging Hilda's varied attacks. Pay close attention to her tells for each transformation.
• Parrying: Look for opportunities to parry pink projectiles, especially in her shark form, to build your super meter.
• Super Meter: Utilize your Super Arts when you have a clear opening to deal significant damage, especially in her later, more aggressive phases.
• Patience: Hilda Berg is a test of endurance and pattern recognition. Don't get discouraged by her transformations; learn each one and adapt your strategy accordingly.
