Unlock advanced strategies for Cuphead's The Delicious Last Course DLC. Master S-Ranks, secret bosses, and all achievements with expert tips and walkthroughs.
This guide focuses on achieving S-Rank status and completing all challenges in Cuphead: The Delicious Last Course. It details strategies for obtaining high ranks on all bosses, defeating secret bosses, and unlocking every achievement, including those requiring specific character abilities and weapon usage.
Tips for S-Ranks and Achievements
- Ranger: Obtain an A-Rank or higher on all Inkwell Isle IV bosses. This requires defeating bosses in under two minutes on Regular difficulty, maintaining at least 3HP, and executing three parries and six special attacks. Secret bosses count towards this.
- Alive and Kicking / Decadent: Defeat bosses with Ms. Chalice. For "Decadent," defeat 10 main bosses using her, utilizing new DLC weapons for efficiency on easier difficulties.
- The Golden Touch: Defeat a boss using one of Ms. Chalice's Super Arts. Super Art I is recommended for its vertical beam, useful against bosses like the Announcer Snail.
- The Latest Sensation: Defeat a boss with one of Porkrind's new weapons (Converge, Crackshot, Twist-Up).
- Checkmate / A King's Admiration: Defeat the King Of Games' Champions and The Gauntlet. Ms. Chalice's dash parry is highly beneficial for these parry-focused challenges.
- Compliments To The Chef: Complete the main quest on Inkwell Isle IV by defeating all five bosses and collecting ingredients for the Wondertart, leading to the final battle against Chef Saltbaker.
- Cooked To Perfection: Achieve an S-Rank on an Inkwell Isle IV stage. This requires Expert difficulty (unlocked after finishing the main story) and the same criteria as A-Ranks. The Moonshine Mob is suggested.
- The High Hat: Defeat an Inkwell Isle IV boss without killing any minions. Esther Winchester's "High Noon Hoopla" is a good candidate, with only one killable minion.
- Hearty: Achieve 9HP simultaneously. Equip the Twin Heart charm and use Djimmi The Great's wish for an extra 3HP. Alternatively, combine the Heart Ring charm with Djimmi or parry successes. Ms. Chalice is also helpful.
- A Horrible Night To Have A Curse: Survive the nightmare by solving the secret graveyard puzzle on Isle IV using the Broken Relic charm.
- Paladin: Obtain great power by completing "A Horrible Night To Have A Curse" to unlock the Cursed Relic. Beating seven or more bosses with it transforms it into the Divine Relic, offering enhanced abilities.
