Master Mugman's role in Cuphead: The Delicious Last Course with our guide. Learn strategies for defeating bosses, achieving high ranks, and unlocking secrets.

Walkthrough:

  1. A Vacation In The Wilds: Defeat all five main bosses in Inkwell Isle IV (The Moonshine Mob, Esther Winchester, Glumstone The Giant, Mortimer Freeze, The Howling Aces). This is story-related and cannot be missed.
  2. Ranger: Obtain an A-Rank or higher on all bosses in Inkwell Isle IV. Requirements include defeating the boss in under two minutes on Regular difficulty, having at least 3HP remaining, and landing three parries and six special attacks. The two secret bosses count towards this. Using Djimmi The Great's wishes for more HP will void progress.
  3. Alive And Kicking: Defeat any boss with Ms. Chalice. Equip the Astral Cookie charm and defeat any main boss from Inkwell Isle I-IV, including DLC bosses and original bosses like Cala Maria and Baroness Von Bon Bon.
  4. Decadent: Defeat 10 bosses with Ms. Chalice. Main bosses only. Equip a new DLC weapon and defeat every boss on Inkwell Isle I and II on Simple or Regular difficulty.

  6. The Latest Sensation: Defeat a boss with one of Porkrind's new weapons (Converge, Crackshot, Twist-Up).

  8. A King's Admiration: Defeat The King's Gauntlet, which involves taking on all five mini-bosses sequentially without failing. Failing restarts the entire gauntlet.
  9. Compliments To The Chef: Complete your quest on Inkwell Isle IV by defeating all five main bosses and collecting ingredients for the Wondertart. This unlocks the secret antagonist, Chef Saltbaker, and his final battle. Crackshot, Ms. Chalice, and determination are recommended.
  10. Cooked To Perfection: Achieve an S-Rank on a stage in Inkwell Isle IV. S-Ranks are only obtainable on Expert difficulty (unlocked after finishing the main story and dealing with The Devil). Criteria are the same as A-Ranks. The Moonshine Mob is a suggested stage.
  11. The High Hat: Defeat a boss on Inkwell Isle IV without killing any of its minions. Esther Winchester in
