Learn how to achieve S-Rank on Cuphead DLC bosses. This guide covers requirements, strategies, and tips for mastering Inkwell Isle IV and unlocking all achievements.

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    Cooked To Perfection: Get an S-Rank on a stage of Inkwell Isle IV. This requires Expert difficulty, unlocked after finishing the main story and dealing with The Devil. The criteria are the same as A-Ranks. The Moonshine Mob is a recommended target.
Tips
  • S-Ranks are only obtainable on Expert difficulty.
  • The requirements for S-Ranks are the same as A-Ranks: under two minutes, at least 3HP left, three parries, and six special attacks.
  • The DLC's two secret bosses count towards S-Rank progression.
  • Using Djimmi The Great's wishes for more HP will void progress for A-Rank requirements, and likely S-Rank as well.
  • Ms. Chalice, with her dash parry, can make navigating challenging fights easier.
  • New DLC weapons like Converge, Crackshot, and Twist-Up can be useful for various trophies, including those related to boss fights.
