Learn how to replay bosses in Cuphead's Delicious Last Course DLC to achieve better grades, including S-Ranks, A-Ranks, and specific challenge requirements. Master every boss fight!

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    A-Rank Requirements: Defeat bosses in under two minutes on Regular difficulty, maintain at least 3HP, land three parries, and execute six special attacks. The DLC's secret bosses count towards this.
  2. 2
    S-Rank Requirements: Obtainable only on Expert difficulty (unlocked after beating the main game and The Devil). Criteria are the same as A-Ranks.
  3. 3
    Specific Challenges: Some achievements require defeating bosses under unique conditions, such as not killing minions or using specific character abilities and weapons.
Tips
  • Ms. Chalice: Her dash parry ability is invaluable for navigating the King Of Games' Champions and The Gauntlet. She is also a great asset for the 'Hearty' achievement.
  • DLC Weapons: Converge, Crackshot, and Twist-Up are useful for various trophies, including 'Decadent' and 'Ranger'.
  • Super Arts: Ms. Chalice's Super Art I can be effectively used against bosses like the Announcer Snail or Psycarrot.
  • Hearty Achievement: Equip the Twin Heart charm and use Djimmi The Great's wish for an extra 3HP. Alternatively, combine the Heart Ring charm with Djimmi for 9HP after six parries.
  • Secret Charms: The Broken Relic is required for a secret puzzle on Isle IV, leading to the Cursed Relic and eventually the Divine Relic.
  • Boss Order: For efficiency, defeat Inkwell Isle IV bosses in their overworld order: The Moonshine Mob, Esther Winchester, Glumstone The Giant, Mortimer Freeze, and The Howling Aces.
