Learn how to unlock Cuphead's secret black and white mode and the two-stripe filter. Follow our guide to complete pacifist runs and achieve high ranks.

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    In the World 3 hub, find the Turtle on the docks. He will explain the challenge: clear all platforming levels without killing enemies.
  2. 2
    Play through the following six platforming stages: Forest Follies, Treetop Trouble, Funfair Fever, Funhouse Frazzle, Perilous Piers, and Rugged Ridge.
  3. 3
    Successfully complete each of these levels without shooting any enemies. A 'P' will appear on the flag at the end of each completed pacifist run.
  4. 4
    After completing all six levels with pacifist runs, return to the Turtle in the World 3 hub. He will unlock the Black and White mode for Cuphead.
Tips
  • Speak to the Fork wearing a monocle, located outside the world's shop.
  • He is looking for "Grade A" people. Aim to score Grade A or above on all boss battles.
  • Achieving this will unlock a two-stripe filter for the game. Occasional Grade B scores are acceptable, but try to maintain Grade A.
