Expert Difficulty: What to Expect

Learn about the challenges and requirements for achieving Expert difficulty in Cuphead's Delicious Last Course DLC, including S-Ranks and specific boss strategies.

Expert difficulty in Cuphead's Delicious Last Course is unlocked after completing the main story and making a deal with The Devil. This difficulty level is required for achieving S-Ranks on all stages. The criteria for S-Ranks mirror those of A-Ranks: defeating the boss in under two minutes on Regular difficulty, maintaining at least 3HP, and executing three parries and six special attacks. For Inkwell Isle IV, The Moonshine Mob is suggested as a manageable stage for S-Rank attempts, especially if you don't mind the anteater minions.
