Captain Brineybeard Boss Guide

Master the Captain Brineybeard boss fight in Cuphead's Delicious Last Course DLC. Learn strategies, phases, and tips to defeat this challenging pirate captain.

Stats / Weaknesses:

• Weakness: Not explicitly stated, but consistent damage is key.

Phases:

1. Phase 1: Captain Brineybeard fires cannonballs and summons barrels that roll across the screen. He also summons small pirate minions.
2. Phase 2: The captain brings out his ship's cannons, firing a barrage of projectiles. He may also summon a large whale that spits out smaller enemies.
3. Phase 3: The captain himself attacks more directly, often with a large anchor or by spitting out a swarm of bees.
4. Phase 4: The final phase involves the captain's ship itself becoming a threat, with cannons firing and the ship's hull potentially damaging the player.

Strategy:

• Focus on dodging the numerous projectiles and parrying the barrels when possible to build meter.
• Prioritize eliminating the summoned minions quickly to avoid being overwhelmed.
• Use weapons that offer good coverage, such as Spread or Chaser, to deal with both the captain and his adds.
• Be prepared for the environmental hazards and the changing attack patterns in each phase.
• Ms. Chalice's dash parry can be very useful for navigating some of the trickier projectile patterns.
