S-Rank Achievements

Mastering S-Ranks in Cuphead: The Delicious Last Course! This guide breaks down every achievement, from 'Taking Names' to the toughest DLC challenges. Get ready for that Platinum!

Hey there, aspiring Cuphead master! So you're aiming for those coveted S-Ranks in *The Delicious Last Course*, huh? That's awesome! It means you're ready to really push your skills and show those bosses who's boss. Let's break down what you need to know to snag every achievement, including the tricky ones from the DLC. First off, know that getting an S-Rank is no small feat. It's the ultimate test of your mastery, requiring you to nail speed, parries, and not taking any hits. But don't sweat it! Think of it like this: you've already conquered the base game's bosses, so you've got the fundamentals down. This is just the next level. While the source text here lists a bunch of achievements, including those from the base game like 'Taking Names' (just beat a boss, easy peasy!) and 'Perfect Run' (no hits taken, a real test of patience!), the real goal for S-Ranks is a bit more specific. The achievement 'Put on a Show' specifically mentions getting an S-Rank, and it's a Silver trophy. For *The Delicious Last Course*, the journey to S-Ranks is part of the fun. You'll be facing new bosses and challenges, and the same principles apply: speed, parries, and avoiding damage are key. The game tracks your performance, and when you meet the criteria for an S-Rank, you'll earn it. It's all about clean runs and perfect execution. Remember, the game counts a lot of things towards your rank: how quickly you finish, how many parries you pull off, how many times you use your Super Art (like the 'Extra Special' or other Super Arts), and of course, not getting hit. Aiming for an A-Rank or higher on all bosses in each Inkwell Isle is a great stepping stone, with achievements like 'Sheriff' (Inkwell Isle I), 'Boss' (Inkwell Isle II), and 'Mayor' (Inkwell Isle III) rewarding you for that consistency. Even 'King' for Inkwell Hell and 'Souls Saved' for completing the game on Normal are big goals. Don't forget the little things too! Grabbing every coin for 'Coffers Full' and buying out Porkrind's Emporium for 'Butter-and-Egg Man' are essential for 100% completion. And if you're really going for it, beating King Dice on Regular Mode for 'Casino Night' is a must. So, gear up, practice those parries, learn the boss patterns inside and out, and don't be afraid to retry. Those S-Ranks are waiting for you. You've got this!
