I finished Cuphead in a week, and im pretty sure it's my second favourite game (rdr2 is first if you're wondering, but I enjoyed Cuphead so much that it's possible it was more enjoyable then rdr2 (didn't beat rdr2 yet.)).

And i will rate some of the bosses i enjoyed the most...

5. Werner Werman, something about this boss was so charming. It felt so simple and a breath of fresh air with the sound track absolutely killing it! Just beacuse he's the worst on the list doesn't mean he's an enjoyable bossfight.

6. Grim Matchstick, 6 or 7 years ago, when Matchstick was considered the hardest boss fight in the game.. his bossfight is probably the most unique out of the all normal bosses. His soundtrack is alright.. but his animations are just perfection. And his final intimidating phase is a cherry on top.

7. King Dice, he is just cool. The way the is the last bossfight before the last bossfight is pretty cool, and the way we fight his minions along the way? DAMN! And we all died atleast once because his cards were unexpected.. also, one of the best soundtracks in the game!

8. Cagney Carnation, do i even have to explain myself? The best bossfight in inkwell isle I, if not one of the best bossfights in the game. His soundtrack is pretty much the best and the most iconic, his bossfight fits the intense difficulty and soundtrack when we were fighting him for the firsts time. A beautiful flower, and a beautiful bossfight.

9. The devil, the last bossfight, the best visuals, attacks, difficulty, creativity etc.. for me. When i got on his second phase for the first time.. the soundtrack and bossfight got EVEN BETTER LIKE SHEESH!!! And harder.. ofc. And the way his final phase is so short and easy, but we would be 90% 1 hp would make the bossfight even more intense and stressful.. perfection!

And that would be it, if you did read all of this.. well thanks! I'm just very passionate about this game and i didn't regret typing all of this.

Another boss fight with a ton of randomness thrown in. At first, it was overwhelming, but I was able to develop strategies for each phase and stay calm. I knew when I got to phase 3 of this attempt, that I was going to nab a perfect kill. Think I still got fairly lucky all around!

P. Sugar was helpful. This video doesn't showcase it, but in other attempts, it made handling some of the projectiles way easier. It's nice to be able to avoid damage simply by being in the air.

My brother just got Cuphead yesterday in hopes of adding to our list of indie games we've played; little did the two of us know that this game was hard as balls. Bro, y'all make this look so fucking easy doing it without taking damage. HOW DOES ONE BEAT THIS DAMN GAME!!!

Cuphead has been on my backlog for many years now. I love difficult games and have been eagerly awaiting a playthrough! This was the first boss that absolutely drove me up the wall with its randomness. It took me a while to even consistently get past phase 2, but once I did…it still felt like the randomness of it all would still overwhelm me.

I think this will be the rare game that I put in the time to perfect (S/P rank everything!)

Some things I learned:

• Don’t attack too much early seconds of the fight. Let him keep eye beaming you for the parries. Once you do enough damage, he switches to sine-wave fireballs.

• Super him early so that you can super him again in phase 3, when it really matters!

• Stay up high the rest of the fight. The little flames jump from below, and the flamethrower attack is never aimed at the top clouds.

• Stop auto-attacking when you’re dodging orbs in phase 3. Makes it easier to avoid them (and not make it worse by detonating them).

Me and my bf are stuck. We get to the end with 4/5 lives and lose them all almost immediately. Any tips or tricks. This is so painful lmfao.

So I don’t think this is well known yet so yeah. The fight can be triggered again by standing in front of the middle tombstone and holding L+R (or LT+RT) for a bit, reactivating the tombstone. Currently it does not seems to work with keyboard control.

Ok so chef Saltbaker was not as hard as everyone said he was. On my third try I reached the last phase, and then I sucked until my twelfth try when I beat him. He is actually NOT harder than the devil at all. The devil literally took me 2 weeks of trying on an almost daily basis before I beat him. Matter fact, the King's gauntlet was harder than the chef (the Rook was my bane). All in all, the DLC bosses were way easier than the base game bosses, especially because of all the good weapons and perks that you already have + unlock. But I still absolutely loved the DLC, and I'd say it's absolutely worth playing. I started with ~2090ish deaths before DLC, and finished with 2175 deaths (most deaths came from the chess challenge fights, especially the gauntlet, and the secret nightmare fight). Personally, I didn't find playing as miss Chalice any easier/better than Cuphead except for the chess challenges and Esther.

For a strategy against the chef, I'd say play as Cuphead, equip the 2 extra hearts, crackshot as your primary, and chaser as the secondary (honestly didn't end up using the secondary). If you get hit more than 3 times on the first phase, just restart. Have at least 2 hearts for the jumping salt-statue phase cause chances are you'd get hit when it lands the first time. Don't get too concerned with parrying in the last phase, and save your super until when you're about to get hit.
