Master Cuphead's Delicious Last Course on Expert difficulty. Learn strategies for S-Ranks, secret achievements, and challenging boss fights to achieve 100% completion.

Walkthrough:

  1. A Vacation In The Wilds: Defeat all five main bosses in Inkwell Isle IV (The Moonshine Mob, Esther Winchester, Glumstone The Giant, Mortimer Freeze, The Howling Aces). This is story-related and cannot be missed.
  2. Ranger: Obtain an A-Rank or higher on all bosses in Inkwell Isle IV. Requirements include defeating the boss in under two minutes on Regular difficulty, having at least 3HP left, landing three parries, and six special attacks. The two secret bosses count towards this. Using Djimmi The Great's wishes for more HP will void progress.
  3. Alive And Kicking: Defeat any boss with Ms. Chalice by equipping the Astral Cookie charm. This includes DLC bosses and original bosses from Inkwell Isle I to IV.
  4. Decadent: Defeat 10 main bosses with Ms. Chalice. Focus on bosses from Inkwell Isle I and II on Simple or Regular difficulty, utilizing new DLC weapons.

  8. A King's Admiration: Complete The Gauntlet by defeating all five mini-bosses sequentially without failing. This challenge is similar to King Dice's Casino.
  9. Compliments To The Chef: Complete your quest on Inkwell Isle IV by defeating all five main bosses and collecting the ingredients for the Wondertart, which unlocks the secret antagonist, Chef Saltbaker.
  10. Cooked To Perfection: Achieve an S-Rank on a stage in Inkwell Isle IV. S-Ranks are only obtainable on Expert difficulty (unlocked after finishing the main story and dealing with The Devil). The criteria are the same as A-Ranks. The Moonshine Mob is a recommended stage.
  11. The High Hat: Defeat a boss on Inkwell Isle IV without killing any of its minions. Esther Winchester in
