Secret Coins & Shortcuts (Isle III)

Discover all 56 hidden coins in Cuphead! This guide details every coin location across Inkwell Isles I-IV, including Run 'n Gun levels and The Delicious Last Course.

Hey there! So you're looking to snag all those shiny coins in Cuphead, huh? Smart move! These little guys are super important for buying all the cool stuff at Porkrind's Emporium. There are 56 in total – 40 from the original game and 16 from the Delicious Last Course DLC. It's all thanks to Quint, a coin himself, who apparently just scattered them around for anyone to find. Let's break down where you can find every single one!

Base Game Coins

Alright, let's start with the original islands. You'll need to do a bit of exploring and some specific actions to grab these:

• First off, finish the tutorial level, Home Sweet Home. There's a coin waiting for you right at the end. Easy peasy!
• Head over to Inkwell Isle One and have a chat with Mac. He'll hand over 3 coins just for talking to him – no strings attached!
• On Inkwell Isle Two, you'll need to find Buster. To get him to give you coins, you've gotta pull off four parries in a row without messing up or landing on a platform. Don't worry if you die after getting the parries; it still counts!
• Once you've connected the bridges, find Ginger. You can also reach her by taking a secret route behind Wally Warbles. She's got some coins for you.
• Every single Run 'n Gun level has 5 coins hidden within them. Since there are six of these levels, that's a total of 30 coins right there!
• Keep an eye out for secret coins after beating bosses:
  • The first secret coin on Inkwell Isle One is near Chip, just waiting for you after you've defeated a boss.
  • On Inkwell Isle Two, look behind one of the cabins near Funhouse Frazzle. You'll need to use some shortcuts to get there.
  • Inkwell Isle Three has a secret coin behind the ticket booth near Cala Maria.
  • Finally, on Inkwell Hell, you'll find the fourth secret coin tucked away behind the left main entrance wall of the casino.

The Delicious Last Course Coins

Now for the DLC! Chef Saltbaker's island has its own set of treasures:

• First, complete the level Recipe for Ms. Chalice to grab your first coin on this new island.
• Find Buckley and chat with him. He's feeling generous and will give you 3 coins.
• The King's Leap challenges are where it's at for more coins. Each champion you defeat gives you 2 coins. Plus, if you manage to beat the Queen after clearing all the other challenges, you'll get an extra coin! That's 11 coins from The King's Leap in total.
• On Inkwell Isle Four, there's a secret coin hidden behind Chef Saltbaker's bakery. You can get to it via a secret route. Try approaching from the side opposite the entrance to Porkrind's shop, or go behind the waterfall.

Trivia

Fun fact: The little circular part in the middle of the coins? It actually looks like the pie-cut eyes that most characters in Cuphead have. Pretty neat detail!
