Master Cuphead's The Delicious Last Course DLC! This guide details strategies for defeating Chef Saltbaker and all other bosses, earning S-ranks, and unlocking secrets.

Stats / Weaknesses:

  • The Delicious Last Course adds five main bosses to Inkwell Isle IV: The Moonshine Mob, Esther Winchester, Glumstone The Giant, Mortimer Freeze, and The Howling Aces.
  • Secret bosses and original bosses also count towards certain achievements.
  • Ms. Chalice's unique abilities, especially her dash parry, are crucial for many challenges.
  • New DLC weapons like Converge, Crackshot, and Twist-Up are useful for various achievements.

Phases:

  1. A Vacation In The Wilds: Defeat all five main bosses in Inkwell Isle IV.
  2. Ranger: Obtain an A-Rank or higher on all Inkwell Isle IV bosses (under 2 minutes, 3+ HP, 3 parries, 6 specials).
  3. Alive And Kicking: Defeat any boss with Ms. Chalice (equip Astral Cookie).
  4. Decadent: Defeat 10 main bosses with Ms. Chalice (focus on Inkwell Isles I & II).
  5. The Golden Touch: Defeat a boss with one of Ms. Chalice's Super Arts (Super Art I recommended).
  6. The Latest Sensation: Defeat a boss with one of Porkrind's new weapons (Converge, Crackshot, Twist-Up).
  7. Checkmate: Defeat all of the King Of Games' Champions (Pawns, Knight, Bishop, Rook, Queen) without weapons or charms, relying on parries. Ms. Chalice is recommended.
  8. A King's Admiration: Defeat the King's Gauntlet, a sequence of all five Champions without failing.
  9. Compliments To The Chef: Complete your quest on Inkwell Isle IV by defeating all five main bosses and collecting ingredients for the Wondertart, leading to the final battle against Chef Saltbaker.
  10. Cooked To Perfection: Get an S-Rank on a stage in Inkwell Isle IV (Expert difficulty required, similar criteria to A-Rank). The Moonshine Mob is suggested.
  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. Strategies include using the Twin Heart charm + Djimmi The Great's wish, or combining the Heart Ring charm with Djimmi. Ms. Chalice is helpful.
  13. A Horrible Night To Have A Curse (Secret): Requires the Broken Relic charm to solve a graveyard puzzle on Isle IV.
  14. Paladin: Completing the secret above unlocks the Cursed Relic. Beating 7+ bosses with it transforms it into the Divine Relic, offering enhanced abilities.

Strategy:

  • Utilize Ms. Chalice's dash parry for the Champion fights and the King's Gauntlet.
  • For S-Ranks and A-Ranks, focus on speed, parries, and special attacks while maintaining high HP.
  • Experiment with the new DLC weapons (Converge, Crackshot, Twist-Up) for various challenges.
  • The final boss, Chef Saltbaker, is difficult; Crackshot and Ms. Chalice are recommended.
  • For the 'Hearty' achievement, combine charms and Djimmi's wishes strategically.
  • The Broken Relic and Cursed Relic offer unique challenges and rewards, especially for secret achievements.
