Unlock the "Perfect Run" achievement in Cuphead's Delicious Last Course DLC by mastering boss fights, parries, and weapon usage. This guide details strategies for S-ranks and secret challenges.

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    Unlock Expert difficulty by finishing the main story and making a deal with The Devil.
  2. 2
    Select a boss on Inkwell Isle IV. The Moonshine Mob is recommended for players who don't mind the anteater minions.
  3. 3
    Equip your preferred loadout. While the source doesn't specify optimal weapons, consider those that allow for quick damage and parries.
  4. 4
    Begin the boss fight on Expert difficulty.
  5. 5
    Focus on meeting all the S-Rank criteria: defeat the boss in under two minutes, maintain at least 3HP, land exactly three parries, and execute precisely six special attacks.
Tips
  • S-Ranks are challenging and require practice. Don't be discouraged by initial failures.
  • The Moonshine Mob is suggested due to its minions, which can be useful for parry practice without being the primary target.
  • Ensure you are playing on Expert difficulty, as S-Ranks are not achievable on Simple or Regular.
  • The source mentions that Djimmi The Great's wishes for more HP void progress for other achievements, so be mindful of this if you are also pursuing those.
  • Ms. Chalice is often mentioned as a helpful character for various achievements due to her dash parry, which might also be beneficial here.
