Discover all the secret bosses and challenging encounters in Cuphead's The Delicious Last Course DLC. Master hidden levels, secret charms, and tough achievements with our comprehensive guide.

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    A Horrible Night To Have A Curse (Secret): Obtain the Broken Relic charm from Porkrind's Emporium. Use it to solve the riddle near the southeast side of Isle IV. Refer to the guide on solving the graveyard puzzle with the Broken Relic for more details.
  2. 2
    Paladin (Secret): Completing 'A Horrible Night To Have A Curse' unlocks the Cursed Relic charm. This charm reduces HP to 1 and randomly assigns weapons when shooting stops. It cancels other modifiers. Defeating seven or more bosses on Regular or Expert difficulty transforms it into the Divine Relic, which restores 3HP and adds abilities like Coffee, Whetstone, Smoke Bomb, and the Heart Ring.
Tips
  • The Broken Relic is essential for unlocking secret encounters and charms.
  • The Cursed Relic and Divine Relic offer unique gameplay modifiers and challenges.
  • Ms. Chalice, with her dash parry, is particularly useful for navigating secret boss fights and challenges like 'Checkmate' and 'A King's Admiration'.
  • New DLC weapons like Converge, Crackshot, and Twist-Up can be advantageous for various trophies and boss fights.
  • For the 'Hearty' achievement (9HP), equip the Twin Heart charm, use Djimmi The Great's wish for +3HP, or combine the Heart Ring charm with Djimmi. Ms. Chalice is also recommended.
  • For 'The High Hat' achievement (defeat a boss without killing minions), Esther Winchester in 'High Noon Hoopla' is a good target as only the mini-cow is killable.
