How to Unlock the Black and White Filter in Cuphead

TL;DR To unlock the black and white filter in Cuphead, you need to complete all the "Run and Gun" levels with a pacifist rank, which means finishing them without shooting [1:1], [2:1], [4:2].

Pacifist Run Strategy

Achieving a pacifist rank in Cuphead's "Run and Gun" levels is challenging. It requires players to navigate through these levels without using their weapons. Many players find this difficult, especially in certain levels like the wharf level in world 3 [2:2] and the sea level [3:4]. Utilizing charms such as the double heart can provide extra health, making it slightly easier to endure hits while avoiding combat [2:2].

Visual Challenges

Playing in black and white mode presents additional challenges, such as difficulty in identifying parryable objects since they are usually differentiated by color. However, some players enjoy the added challenge of relying on memory and experience to identify these objects [3:9], [3:10]. Despite these challenges, many players appreciate the nostalgic aesthetic and the old-timey audio filter that accompanies the black and white mode [3:7].

Alternative Methods

Some players choose to simulate the black and white experience by adjusting their console or TV settings to grayscale. This method provides a similar visual effect without the need to complete the pacifist runs [5:3], [5:4]. While this doesn't unlock the official in-game filter, it allows players to enjoy the aesthetic without the gameplay challenge.

In summary, unlocking the black and white filter in Cuphead requires skill and patience to complete the pacifist runs, but alternative methods exist for those who want the visual experience without the challenge.

I had it on because to get the black and white mode u have to do all the run and guns without shooting. I went into that level just to try out the black and white without changing my charms or anything.

To me, that's part of the challenge; you have to use your memory of the level to try and remember what's parryable and what's not. Sometimes it can't be helped, but it can still add a layer of enjoyment.

BlueAura74 · 6 years ago

Most parryable objects can be differentiated by color even despite black & white mode being enabled so it's not impossible by any means. There are videos uploaded of people getting S ranks with it.

I could be wrong but I think you just need to P Rank the Run n Gun stages...impossible to P Rank the bosses.

The fifteen levels unlocks a different filter. Black and White is unlocked for getting P-rank on all the run ‘n’ gun levels, meaning no shots fired in the levels (killing enemies by parrying is fine).

Have you tried getting the two-tone filter by getting an A-, A, or A+ on most bosses?
Once you finish that, you talk to this fork guy who will give you the filter.

Don’t worry, divine relic wasn’t too bad. My route was: all of isle 1, brineybeard and weiner rat, and king dice bosses 1-6. I found them the easiest. Hope it helps! Also, you don’t need to knockout king dice himself for it to count, just the individual bosses

Feisty-Albatross3554 · 1 year ago

I can confirm they count, but they only give "1 point" instead of 2 like Inkwell Isle 1. It's still an easy 10 points though to fight them all + King Dice so I'd go for it

Black And White

Posted by yrahcaz29 · in r/Cuphead · 5 years ago

I just unlocked black and white screen by getting a P rank in every run and gun level. And I am very dissatisfied. Please tell me I'm just not seeing something and theres a way to know what to parry.

Obviously I know what's parryable like the worm from the root pack but what about the tears some of those can be parried. How can I tell?

That's kinda the point. To get to black and white you have to depend on your parry so much. And now that you've done a p rank run and play b&w, you cant see what's parryable. Pure irony
