TL;DR To achieve a true 100% completion in Cuphead, you need to complete the game with 200% progress, earn all achievements, obtain S ranks on all bosses, achieve P ranks on Run & Gun levels, and find the fourth quartet member.
200% Completion
The maximum percentage achievable in Cuphead is 200%. To reach this, players must collect all coins and defeat all bosses on both regular and expert modes, including completing all Mausoleums [4:1]. This comprehensive playthrough ensures that every aspect of the game has been explored.
Achievements
Completing all achievements is a significant part of reaching 100% completion. Some players noted that obtaining achievements can be challenging, particularly those requiring S ranks on stages [3:2]
[3:4]. The Pacifist achievement, which involves completing Run & Gun levels without defeating any enemies, was specifically mentioned as an essential achievement
[3:1].
S and P Ranks
Achieving S ranks on all bosses and P ranks on Run & Gun levels are critical components of full completion. S ranks require defeating bosses quickly and without taking damage, while P ranks involve completing Run & Gun levels without shooting [1]
[5:1]. These challenges add a layer of difficulty and mastery to the game.
Additional Challenges
Beyond the standard requirements, some players pursue additional challenges such as achieving high death counts or unlocking extra visual and audio settings [1:1]
[1:2]. While these are not necessary for 100% completion, they offer more ways to engage with the game.
Completion Experience
Players who have completed Cuphead describe it as a memorable and challenging experience, often rating its difficulty level as high due to the learning curve and complex boss fights on Expert mode [3:7]. Achieving 100% completion requires dedication and skill, but many find the journey rewarding and enjoyable.
Not just getting 200% and all the achievements. There is more to truly complete the game and I'm asking for a list. Here is what I have:
Coins would be included in the 200% requirement so that's redundant. What else am I missing?
I would say unlocking all the extra visual and audio settings, although I think that can accomplished by getting everything on your current list.
S ranking all bosses should’ve been an achievement. The current ones are too easy imo
These aren't required, but are fun to get, try getting S rank records on the list, and S ranking them as fast as possible. Also, if you want to, try getting your death count to an obscene number for Quadratus.
Hey so, I absolutely love this game. And very recently I have started a new save where I plan on doing literally absolutely everything. But thing is, I don’t truly know everything to do. So far in the save I have got all 3 filters (black & white, 2-strip, and chalice) I bought every item, and I got the divine relic. So is the last thing left to do is just get S-Ranks..? Also I am not meaning like meaningless challenge runs like peashooter only. I am talking about challenges that actually change something in the save.
Have you gotten all achievements?
No, but I am close but I also know all achievements is not absolutely everything
All achievements and all S/P rank is what’s needed for the game
Wasn’t sure I would be able to 100% this game but I’m glad I tried and I’m very happy I accomplished my goal
Love the 1930s look and sound. Such a memorable game
Congrats! I know this is a pretty tough platinum!
Thanks! This was my death count for the base game on Normal and Expert modes. The DLC added maybe a hundred or so
Getting the achievements is tough overall but the biggest challenge in the game is S ranking levels on Expert difficulty. Fortunately there are only two achievements for that and you only need to S rank two stages of your choice (base game + DLC)
Nice to see someone actually 100% it
Don't know if you were around one of these subreddits a month or so ago a guy posted their 100% for cuphead but he refused to do the pacifist achievemenr and noone would let him get away with it.
> refused to do the Pacifist achievement
Haha that’s nuts. It’s not even that hard to get 😂. There are a bunch of achievements in the game that I found much more challenging so I wonder why that person wouldn’t go for it
Congrats on your completion
Thank you 🙏🏼
Congratulations! How hard was it??
Thanks!
I think I would rate it 8/10 in terms of difficulty. There’s a bit of a learning curve and some fights on Expert difficulty have so many objects on screen 😮💨
I have beaten all of the bosses and gotten all of the secrets but it’s stuck at 105%. What is the last requirement? Do I just have to beat the whole game on expert?
The highest percentage that you can get in the game, intentionally, is 200%. And to get it you must have all coins collected, and complete all bosses (regular and Expert) and Mausoleums to get the 200%.
So just beat all bosses on expert aswell
Yep.
All that's really left for me to do is all S-ranks and I feel like I've explored Cuphead in its entirety!
Until the dlc comes out!
You guys are insane
I just beat regular today. I got the game a few days ago. Lol it seemed a bit too easy to me so I decided for my 200% completion that I'd have to take no damage at all and get all S-Ranks. While also beating the bosses as fast as I possibly can haha. keeps the game fresh.
I dreamed about posting that for years! Since I didn’t play a similar game before I needed over 115 hours playtime for it. How many hours did u guys need to completely beat the game?
It took me 17 hours for playstation but that's because I had previous experience on nintendo. On nintendo I think it took me about 30-40 hours
Just picked up the game yesterday, at this rate probably won’t even get 300% within the current year
how do you see that achievements screen?
100h for all s ranks
I needed 70 hours but I don’t have all the S ranks
i have to be honest, its my 4th time doing the 100%. hahaha i fucking love Cuphead!!! y need a sequel.
17 hours. That’s when you know bro’s done it before
yeeeeah... my first run took me 64 hours i sucked ass in that game hahahaha i had to quit the game cause i was raging all the time.
That clip made me laugh lol so fitting
Huge congrats mister!!
Congratulations
Congrats man. I loved and hated 100%ing this too. Although it’s so fun
Hey everyone I’m trying to get 200% completion and I wanted some help on what the checklist is for 200%
You need A++ on all levels with expert (or normal if u want it to be easier
Collect all coins
Buy everything in the shop
Beat the game on expert
I THINK get an A on every level, and P rank the run n guns
Actually grades don't count for the file%.
Have you found all the hidden coins and bought everything in the shop?
It doesn't seem to affect the percentage. But I qualified for the platinum cup.
You have to do it, it's not optional. Idk about having to buy everything, but for sure you have to get all coins in the entire game. Hidden ones and the run n gun stages.
You have to max out the cursed relic (the game counts it as a completion percentage for the DLC)
Is it necessary to kill all the bosses with the cursed relic?
You only need to beat a minimum of 5 bosses (4 that give you 3 points and 1 that gives you 4 points, max points is 16, all isle 3 bosses and most DLC bosses give you 3 points, and Devil and Saltbaker gives you 4 points).
Have you done the secret boss in the graveyard on isle 4?
You need to beat them all with an S rank
No u don't, beating all on expert is enough
Yes, I want to go cuphead to S rank and 300 percent.
Is it possible to kill the secret boss on the 4th island again?
on console you have to hold L and R and then push A
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.
