uhhh, I don’t really know because i barely fight the devil. what i would do is use roundabout for the first phase, and spread for the rest of the fight. And whatever else you figure out is helpful

Try buying the twin hearts or an extra heart. It will help live a bit longer and Start seeing its attack patterns Like anything in the game, don't panic. For the second and third phase, try jumping back and forth from the center and to one of its sides to avoid the projectiles when needed.

I couldn’t get past the tear crying phase without taking a hit so i tried to play the first phase perfectly so i had enough HP to tank a few hits underground

I just started playing and I'm in hilda berg lol can't seem to defeat her any tips I always die from those ufo s

What I do is bring roundabout and spread, with smoke bomb for the charm and the first super move. The best way I've found to counter the clap is that about when the devil moves his hands off the screen, jump in one direction (I usually jump left when I'm on the left side to make things easier) and dash the opposite direction to stall long enough to not get hit. (You can also stall by using an ex move in midair.) As for other general strategies for the first phase use, parry whatever you can because that's less stuff headed your way, and if you have to deal with the orbit attack then either jump and smoke bomb out of there, or in you can't do that (in which case fair enough) then the odds aren't too unreasonable to reset and hope for better RNG. When I end the first phase I end up with about 4 cards. (I forget how often I use ex moves, it might just depend on how many things I parry to make sure I don't get 5 cards)

On the second phase the hurtboxes for the devil are close enough to where you can just jump into the eye and use your spread ex move a few times for massive damage, but using the super move might do double damage here because it hits twice (not sure about this but it makes sense to me). When the axes spawn I find that a good strategy is to first avoid the axe by standing on an outer platform, then go to the center because it won't be there anymore, giving you time to get a bunch of spread damage in. For the bat bomb you can either just avoid it or for a risk and reward thing you can try to parry it.

A lot of the fight, at least to me, is getting the first and second phase down consistently so you have some wiggle room for the third phase which imo is the hardest part of the fight. A lot of it comes down to how well you can maneuver on the ground and in the air, and smoke bomb (mostly practice though) helps out a lot in that regard.

Well we did it reddit. Just beat the Devil. I got a B+ for those wondering

Alright, the devil gave me hell (ha.), his second phase I used the spreadgun attack and saved a super attack for him. Notice that the flaming hoops coming down come down in order. I typically try to jump between the middle three platforms for the axe attack. Make sure you get the parry on the bombs, the direction he turns his head indicates which side the bomb will exit on. Good luck! For this third and last stages, again, keep an eye on the flaming hoops and I would advise sticking to the center unless you have to avoid a hoop.

same as always, keep trying, remember all atacks and after that, stop playing to think a little about how to dodge the atacks, keep doing that until you get a strategy for all atacks, and then just keep going until you made it, c'mon, if you made it that far, you can beat that bitch :) it's all about using your head

I use charge shot on the first phase, focusing my attention on dodging. I use roundabout on the second phase, spamming EX shots into his eyes (you can hit all 8 spread EX bullets if you position right). And continue using spread shot on phase 3. It's pretty hard to dodge on phase 3, but it's also a pretty short phase.

For charms I use coffee for more EX shots, but you can use smoke dash if you're not confident in dodging during phase 1.

Just beat the devil out of it

just beat him

Couple of tips... Like Cala, his first phase can be a little bit of luck since many of the attacks are far easier to deal with than others. My advice is stick with smoke dash and if you take a hit, retry. Weapon loadout is fine, Super Art 2 is a good idea to hang onto till the end since you can sit on it till the chip falls, use it and spam that spread right up into his ugly mug. Phase 2 is manageable, generally, and Roundabout drops the side guys pretty fast on phase 3.

Damn fuck its hard

I wish you luck

On my way to wish you good fucking luck cause you'll need it

You fight him

Title.

From Polygon: Phase 1 As you might expect, the Devil is pretty hard, and that starts immediately with his first phase. Being the devil, he has a couple of crafty ways he wants to deal with you. Before we get into all of his various moves (there are a lot), it’s important to note that he has little demon buddies who run at you throughout this entire phase. You can tell where they will come and when by watching the sides of the throne.

Anyway, now onto the attacks:

Goat form: The Devil will transform himself into a goat and attempt to smash you with his arms. The timing on this move is very tight so you’ll need to practice. A beat after his arms leave the screen you need to jump and dash mid-air. This should keep you aerial for just long enough not to touch his hooves.

Spider form: Spider form is probably the devil’s easiest form to dodge. He’ll transform his head into a giant spider and drop it on the ground. It’ll then hop up and down. All you really need to do here is dodge quick and run fast.

Dragon form: This is the trickiest of his abilities to dodge. The Devil will cross his legs and stick his neck into the sky. His is neck will now slither onto screen and slide up and down. If you position yourself just to the left of the throne (only if he comes from right, do the opposite if he comes from left) he’ll move right over you and deal no damage. Learn how to dodge this early or you’ll never make it through this fight.

Conjure: The Devil will occasionally spin his pitchfork, creating one of three effects: flames that home in on your location one by one, balls that bounce all over or flames that move in a circle from side to side. First step here is to avoid getting hit by his pitchfork (look for his pupils to disappear). Next is to try and parry the pink item (there is one for ever attack). Other than that, just jump and dodge your way through.

Avoiding death by the devil is by far the most important thing to do, so be very careful and shoot him whenever you can. Don’t push it. Once he has been beaten down enough, his skeleton will shed his skin and jump down a giant pit. Follow the sign that says “GO.”

Phase 2 part 1 You’ll have five platforms to stand on, right in front of the Devil’s giant face. From here on out, a giant flaming poker chip will fall from the sky and land on a random platform. Don’t get hit. Other than the chip, the Devil only has two attacks here.

For the first, he’ll conjure an axe when his eyes converge. This will spiral out and deal damage if it hits you. Jump to the right or left of where you were to avoid it.

The other attack is a big pink bomb. It’ll appear in one of his eyes and then fly out of his ear. Either parry it or run to the other side of the arena before it explodes.

Keep shooting the Devil in his eyes and he’ll phase.

Phase 2 part 2 extremely hectic. Luckily there are a few ways to help manage that. The first thing to know is that the far right and far left platforms just go away, so stay on the middle three.

The Devil will bring in big purple weirdos from off screen. Shoot these and kill them so they can’t shoot skulls at you.

When the Devil spawns bugs from his forehead, kill those as well so that they don’t dive bomb you.

Clear his enemies whenever possible and focus on not getting squashed by flaming poker chips.

You want to be moving as much as possible in this phase and it’ll take a few tries to get into the Devil’s weird rhythm.

Shoot the Devil’s eyes whenever you can and he’ll eventually move into the next phase.

Phase 3 When the Devil is almost dead, he’ll remove all platforms but one and begin crying blood. This is good and bad for you. Good news is that you can parry the tears fall from his eyes. The bad news is that the flaming chips fall very frequently in this phase, forcing you off the platform

To dodge this ability successfully you have two real options:

The first is to do it the correct way, by parrying his tears and jumping back on his platform.

The second is the easier, cheaper way. Wait for the perfect moment when the chip is about to fall and jump off the platform, turn in mid-air and dash back onto the plate. You’ll avoid damage and land safely on your feet.

To damage the Devil as quickly as possible here, stand on the very edge of your platform and shoot in a diagonal line at the opposite eye. Once you have hit him enough, you’ll have taken down the Devil himself.

Congratulations, you just beat Cuphead. Go take a nap

what's your preferred loadout? is there a particular stage you're heading trouble with?

I recommend Roundabout, Spread, Coffee, Maximum Damage (super)

A good shot gun to use for him is the spread

Spread + smoke dash for first stage. When the third stage comes and he spawns more minions then switch to roundabout or charge to take out the guys on the side. Use invinciblity super if needed

You do run to the edge of the screen away from him when he turns into his snake form. Sometimes you get very unlucky and one damage is inevitable if a little purple demon comes out at just the right moment. Other times you can backtrack with the snake or shoot in time to kill the demon.

At what point do you take damage during that attack? If it's the little demons they appear behind the devils chair and depending what side they appear on is what side they'll come from

I dread for when the time comes I’ll have to face him.

King it's just a scream of soul (ironic isn't it?) i have beaten you on S rank today, on GEO difficulty and it was quite easy! So they're just haters don't lose the mood! (Yeye I'm surprised myself that i support you but uh... Yeah)

The loadout I use is charge shot and the triple lighting shot from the DLC shop along with super one and smoke bomb. King dice is a marathon not a race so don’t be scared to burn your cards, you will make them back. A lil tip with parrying the dice is that if you spam parry right as he claps the number will always be a one so just focus on fighting as few bosses as possible while also stock piling the health spots

KING DICE, IM YOUR BIGGEST FAN!

If you’re really struggling, try this advice.

• use P.sugar as it’s easier to hit the dice on the number you want and dodge the cards at the end which is objectively the worst part.

• easiest route imo is bosses 1, 4, 8. Retry if a bonus heart doesn’t land on two of them.

• double parry each card to give you more time to jump to the next one. I don’t use smoke bomb for him because you need to see yourself the whole time to time it properly and the auto parry makes it way easier.

Good luck!

Why make me suffer 😞

Me and my friend are tryna beat Cuphead and we’re crying on the devil
