Discover how to achieve top ranks and S-Ranks on all Cuphead DLC bosses. Learn strategies for leaderboards, parries, and speedruns in The Delicious Last Course.
This guide section focuses on achieving high ranks and mastering leaderboards in Cuphead: The Delicious Last Course. It details the requirements for A-Ranks and S-Ranks, including time limits, HP remaining, parries, and special attacks. Strategies for specific achievements related to ranking and boss performance are also covered.
Key elements for leaderboards include:
- A-Rank Requirements: Defeat bosses in under two minutes on Regular difficulty, maintain at least 3HP, land three parries, and execute six special attacks.
- S-Rank Requirements: Achievable only on Expert difficulty (unlocked after beating the main game and The Devil), with similar criteria to A-Ranks.
- DLC Specifics: The two secret bosses count towards A-Rank requirements. Using Djimmi The Great's wishes for more HP will void progress for the Ranger achievement.
- Character Advantages: Ms. Chalice is highlighted as beneficial for certain challenges, particularly those involving parrying and dash parries, making achievements like 'Checkmate' and 'A King's Admiration' more manageable.
- Weapon Utility: New DLC weapons like Converge, Crackshot, and Twist-Up are noted as useful for various trophies, including those related to ranking and boss defeats.
