Understanding the Hardest Achievements
Several players have identified "Rolling Sixes" and "Beat The Devil At His Own Game" as particularly challenging achievements [2:1]. These require a mix of skill and luck, especially when dealing with King Dice's mini-bosses. One strategy is to memorize the patterns and utilize safe spots during these battles
[2:2].
Achieving S Rank
To unlock all achievements, players must achieve an S rank on all bosses. This involves completing levels on Expert difficulty without taking damage and using specific weapons effectively [5:1]. Some players recommend retrying fights immediately if hit early to maintain a flawless run
[2:3].
Pacifist Achievement
The Pacifist achievement requires completing all run-and-gun levels without defeating any enemies. This can be quite difficult and often involves strategic use of parrying and invincibility frames [2:11].
Maxing Out Save Files
For a complete save file, players should aim for 300% completion which includes all P ranks, S ranks, NPC interactions, and purchasing all items from the shop [3]. Buying out the shop is necessary for certain Steam achievements
[3:8].
Utilizing In-Game Features
Players can access the achievements screen through the pause menu in the overworld [4:3]. This helps track progress and identify which achievements are still pending.
General Tips
By following these strategies and tips, players can systematically work towards unlocking all achievements in Cuphead.
That was long, and hard, and painful, and all I can say is. Moonshine Mob, go to [1000 of millions swear words]
shit bro in only 11 hours,, you are good
Not to flex but I posted my 9 hours of this same thing. I LOVE THIS GAME❤️
No shot that only took you 11 hours
First time ?
Now THAT is a flex
Great now you have nothing to do on cuphead. The fun is over.
Hardest achievement in your opinion? I have rolling sixes and beat the devil at its own game left...
Rolling sixes, only because I suck using the parry. I do remember being able to go behind King Dices hand, that’s a bit of luck though because it’s random. I just got lucky and he did left, right, left, right the entire time.
For the mini bosses, I did 2 (poker chips), safe, 5 (rabbit), 7 (ballerina), safe, Fin.
Pacifist
What was your death count at the end?
2,426. I did a shit ton of “retry” after getting hit 30 secs into a fight. Especially, doing Pacifist achievement.
Definitely one of the hardest games, I was determined to get 100% completion. I have “S” rank on some bosses but not all, I’m not sure I’m going to do that.
Do it, then do the other 2 save slots. IMO it just gets easier from here.
Ok so did you over write your first save or did it give an option to switch to expert?
No, you play the same saved game. You choose the difficulty before each boss and the expert game mode will be available after beating the game on normal.
Oh cool thanks and awesome job completing the entire thing happy new year aswell
How do I learn this power
All P ranks, all S ranks, 300%, All NPC interactions completed, golden chalice filter, divine relic, all king dice bosses
Side notes: A fair few deaths were prevented due to resets while trying to S rank, I played with controller, I've played cuphead previously in 2022 but never gone for all achievements or 300%, I've unlocked all Steam achievements via this save, and despite the play time being 36.8 hours if I had to guess then I must've spent about 8 hours afk / idle
Please tell me if I've missed anything!
Dude I wish I had cuphead on steam,steam achivments looks so cool but I bought mine on Microsoft store D:
I fear to ask because you're so powerful, but... Did you get all the coins and buy out the shop?
He had to. He has all the achievements. You can’t do that without getting all the coins and buying out the shop
Yeah I did, you need it for the steam achievement and I showed all the bought weapons and charms
i would assume so because they have all the guns, not too sure about the secret coins tho lol
you end up with 0 coin to find when you buy out the entire shop, that's not slightly as difficult as all things you need to achieve in order to 300% and get all the achievements 😭
Only 308 deaths is pretty impressive for a 300% save file good work
Unfortunately, the pound man doesn't count retries as deaths. I wish it did, tho.
The pound doesn't count retries.
Here I was thinking how cooked I was. I bought the game a week ago and already have like 700 deaths
My grandest compliments
That is the hard part 10$ is a lot for me man 😭😭😭 that is the reason I bought it on Microsoft wich is good becuase it costed so cheap and also it came with dlc so I dont think I have got the right to complain
As anyone who’s ever done this knows, I spent the last two weeks on Bravo Zulu P-25. The moon face part got me over and over and over again.
You could’ve done it on a mini boss on the casino, I used the undead horse guy to get mine.
I’m about to cry lol. Still felt damn good to finally get there after all the fails.
Yeah I did that too
I just did it on mr. chimes
I wish I had known you could do it that way haha. On King Dice I always play 2, 4, and 8.
Fuck mr chimes
How do you access this screen
I played on switch, and just anywhere in the overworld you can bring up the pause menu and click achievements.
Oh ok
Nvm guys I found it and I have all achievements now, it was bravo zulu p-26 btw
Now you gotta get S rank on all levels
That’s not correct, there’s no challenge like that
I think he is right
So I finally got the cuphead platinum by far my hardest and I made sure it's my 50th platinum and man it was so fin but so tough I'm so proud And if you need any tips or anything I'd be willing to try helping
I did this one in January, how many hours did it take you??
Omg mine is pretty bad I did it in 86 hours and 1900 deaths
good job! i am currently aiming for this one too!
Thanks I hope you get it (and don't go insane)
NO WAY THIS WILL BE MY 50TH TOO
That's an insane coincidence
Love it
It's my proudest platinum
It's great 50th one
Congratulations on the platinum :)
Thanks I need that after all the pain😅🤣
Well done! You gotta admit, it’s a super fun platinum.
Oh yes It's really really good and fun But also It will drive you mad Wroth it
One of my favourites that I have, doesn’t feel Grindy, a little frustrating but all fun

I must admit there were a few times when I thought I’d bitten off more than I could chew, and nearly quit. But despite it sending my blood pressure through the roof numerous times it’s probably the most fun I’ve had with a platinum! I have 3 trophies left for the DLC but I think it’s time to take a short break and play something a bit more relaxing haha
3% completion rate for the Platinum seems a little higher than I expected.
Major props to you, regardless.
Despite it’s difficulty I think it’s quite a popular platinum!
Thank you 🙏
It’s not as hard as it seems, very fair platinum , 6/10 is lore fitting then 8/10 imo
Well done, and congratulations on the well-earned plat! 🔥
A true man’s desire
"Through all your battles and all my rhymes, you have failed and perished 617 times!"
Congrats by the way!
Thank you! 🙏

Definitely the kind of game you enjoy so much that you want to reward it by buying the DLC.
I love watching my plat vid for this. I was so locked in at the end I was just jumping around the falling chip perfectly and I love reliving that moment. I have no idea how many hours it took to finally beat him but it was a lot. Congrats 🎉
The fun thing is that I did that parry on the video by accident and so glad I did because it would have taken me out. I was so locked in that I didn't even noticed the super was charged
Don’t say that, it is that hard, u are very good playing and that’s it, I also got it 2 years ago, my 2nd favorite after Dark Souls 1
I just thought it would be harder because of all the boogeyman stories around it. But by no means it's a walk in the park
It’s mostly kids especially with how cuphead looks.
>Not as hard as the reputation it has.
Totally agree. I think it was the prefect level of difficulty for me.
I expected it to be way harder based on the stories i heard about it on release. It wasn't easy, but it wasn't some rage inducing impossible game either. Just a pleasant challenge
Exactly how I felt. Liked it so much that should be playing the DLC soon.
I think the dlc is a bit harder than base game, but nothing crazy. It was great
I’ve always wanted to go for it but always found it intimidating. How long did it take you?
Not OP but took me approx 20 hrs including dlc. If I were to redo this I think I could do it under 10 hrs as there is def some stuff to get used to at first but once you get a hang of the concept it's not too bad.
If you love a challenge go for it. It's not easy at all but once you get use to it, you'll get better amd better.
