Rank & Performance Evaluation

Master Cuphead DLC's 'The Delicious Last Course' with our guide on achieving S-Ranks, A-Ranks, and completing secret challenges for 100% completion.

This guide covers how to achieve high ranks and complete specific challenges in Cuphead: The Delicious Last Course, focusing on the achievements and trophies related to performance and boss battles.

Achievements & Ranks:

• A Vacation In The Wilds: Defeat all five main bosses in Inkwell Isle IV. These can be beaten in order: The Moonshine Mob, Esther Winchester, Glumstone The Giant, Mortimer Freeze, and The Howling Aces.
• Ranger: Obtain an A-Rank or higher on all bosses in Inkwell Isle IV. Requirements for A-Rank 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 DLC's two secret bosses count towards this. Using Djimmi The Great's wishes for more HP will void progress.
• Alive And Kicking: Defeat any boss with Ms. Chalice. Equip the Astral Cookie charm and defeat any boss from Inkwell Isle I-IV, including DLC bosses and original bosses like Cala Maria and Baroness Von Bon Bon.
• Decadent: Defeat 10 bosses with Ms. Chalice. This only counts main bosses. Equip a DLC weapon and defeat all bosses on Inkwell Isle I and II on Simple or Regular difficulty.
• The Golden Touch: Defeat a boss using one of Ms. Chalice's Super Arts. Super Art I is recommended for its vertical beam, useful against bosses like the Announcer Snail or Psycarrot.
• The Latest Sensation: Defeat a boss with one of Porkrind's new weapons (Converge, Crackshot, or Twist-Up).
• Checkmate: Defeat all of the King Of Games' Champions (The Pawns, The Knight, The Bishop, The Rook, and The Queen). These fights require parrying only, with no weapons or charms allowed. Ms. Chalice's dash parry ability is helpful.
• A King's Admiration: Defeat the King's Gauntlet, which involves fighting all five mini-bosses sequentially without failing. Failing restarts the entire gauntlet.
• Compliments To The Chef: Complete your quest on Inkwell Isle IV by defeating all five main bosses and collecting the ingredients for the Wondertart, which unlocks the secret boss, Chef Saltbaker.
• Cooked To Perfection: Achieve an S-Rank on a stage in Inkwell Isle IV. S-Ranks are only available on Expert difficulty (unlocked after finishing the main story and making a deal with The Devil). The criteria are the same as A-Ranks. The Moonshine Mob is a recommended stage.
• The High Hat: Defeat a boss on Inkwell Isle IV without killing any of its minions. Esther Winchester in
