Master Cuphead's Rugged Ridge Run & Gun level with our expert guide. Learn strategies, tips, and tricks to conquer this challenging stage and achieve victory.
Walkthrough
- 1The Rugged Ridge Run & Gun level is part of Inkwell Isle IV.
- 2To achieve an A-Rank, defeat the boss in under two minutes on Regular difficulty, maintain at least 3HP, and perform three parries and six special attacks.
- 3For the "High Hat" achievement, defeat a boss on Inkwell Isle IV without killing any of its minions. Esther Winchester in "High Noon Hoopla" is a good target as only the mini-cow henchman can be killed.
Tips
- Ms. Chalice's dash parry ability is useful for navigating challenges, especially in the King's Gauntlet.
- The Crackshot weapon, Ms. Chalice, and sheer will can help in the final battle against Chef Saltbaker.
- The Moonshine Mob is a recommended target for S-Ranks on Inkwell Isle IV if you don't mind the anteater enemies.
- The Broken Relic charm is required for a secret puzzle near the southeast side of Isle IV.
- The Cursed Relic charm reduces HP to 1 and randomly assigns weapons. Beating seven or more bosses with it transforms it into the Divine Relic, which restores 3HP and adds other abilities.
- For the "Hearty" achievement (9HP), equip the Twin Heart charm and use Djimmi The Great's wish for an extra 3HP. Alternatively, try this strategy outside King Dice's Casino or combine the Heart Ring charm with Djimmi. Ms. Chalice is recommended for this achievement.
