Conquer every secret boss and challenge in Cuphead: The Delicious Last Course! This guide covers achievements, S-ranks, secret bosses, and more for 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, and landing three parries and six special attacks. The two secret bosses count towards this.
  3. Alive And Kicking: Defeat any boss with Ms. Chalice by equipping the Astral Cookie charm. This includes main bosses from Inkwell Isle I-IV and original favorites.
  4. Decadent: Defeat 10 main bosses with Ms. Chalice. Focus on bosses from Inkwell Isle I and II on Simple or Regular difficulty.
  5. The Golden Touch: Defeat a boss with one of Ms. Chalice's Super Arts, such as Super Art I.
  6. The Latest Sensation: Defeat a boss with one of Porkrind's new weapons: Converge, Crackshot, or Twist-Up.
  7. Checkmate: Defeat all of the King Of Games' Champions (The Pawns, The Knight, The Bishop, The Rook, and The Queen) by parrying only, without weapons or charms. Ms. Chalice's dash parry is helpful.
  8. A King's Admiration: Defeat The King's Gauntlet, a sequence of all five mini-bosses without failing.
  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 to unlock the final battle against Chef Saltbaker.
  10. Cooked To Perfection: Get an S-Rank on a stage of Inkwell Isle IV. This requires Expert difficulty (unlocked after finishing the main story) and the same criteria as A-Ranks.
  11. The High Hat: Defeat a boss on Inkwell Isle IV without killing any of its minions. Esther Winchester is a good candidate.
  12. Hearty: Have 9HP at one time. This can be achieved by equipping the Twin Heart charm and using Djimmi The Great's wish for +3HP, or by combining the Heart Ring charm with Djimmi for 9HP after six parries.
  13. A Horrible Night To Have A Curse (Secret): Obtain the Broken Relic charm from Porkrind's Emporium and solve the graveyard puzzle on Isle IV.
  14. Paladin (Secret): Completing
