Discover the locations of all secret coins in Cuphead's Inkwell Isle III and other areas. Get tips for finding every last coin to spend at Porkrind's Emporium!
Alright, let's talk about finding those shiny coins in Cuphead! These are super important because you need them to buy all the cool new weapons and charms from Porkrind's Emporium. The game has a total of 56 coins, with 40 in the base game and 16 added in The Delicious Last Course DLC. The story behind them? Well, a character named Quint, who is literally a coin himself, scattered them around!
We're going to break down where to find every single one, starting with the base game and then moving on to the DLC.
Base Game Coin Locations
Here's how to snag the coins scattered throughout the original Cuphead islands:
- Tutorial Coin: First off, just finish the tutorial level, 'Home Sweet Home.' The coin is right there at the end, practically given to you!
- Mac's Coins: Head over to Inkwell Isle One and find Mac. He's feeling generous and will give you 3 coins just for chatting with him. No boss fights or tricky platforming needed for this one.
- Buster's Challenge: On Inkwell Isle Two, you'll need to find Buster. He's got a little challenge for you: perform four parries in a row without messing up. Don't worry if you die after getting the parries; it still counts! Just focus on nailing those parries.
- Ginger's Reward: Once you've connected the bridges on Inkwell Isle One, find Ginger. Alternatively, you can get to her by taking a secret route behind Wally Warbles. She's got a coin for you.
- Run 'n Gun Levels: Every single Run 'n Gun level in the base game has 5 coins hidden within them. Since there are six of these levels, that's a whopping 30 coins waiting for you! Make sure you explore every nook and cranny.
- Secret Coin 1 (Inkwell Isle One): After you beat each boss on Inkwell Isle One, a secret coin will appear near Chip. Keep an eye out for it!
- Secret Coin 2 (Inkwell Isle Two): On Inkwell Isle Two, look behind one of the cabins near Funhouse Frazzle. You might need to use some shortcuts to get to it, so explore carefully.
- Secret Coin 3 (Inkwell Isle Three): Head to Inkwell Isle Three and find the ticket booth near Cala Maria. There's a secret coin hidden behind it.
- Secret Coin 4 (Inkwell Hell): For the final secret coin in the base game, go to Inkwell Hell. It's hidden behind the left main entrance wall of the casino.
The Delicious Last Course Coin Locations
DLC time! The Delicious Last Course adds even more coins to your collection:
- DLC Tutorial Coin: Just like the base game, the DLC starts with a tutorial level, 'Recipe for Ms. Chalice.' Grab the coin at the end of this one.
- Buckley's Coins: Find Buckley in the DLC area, and he'll hand over 3 coins for a friendly chat.
- The King's Leap Champions: Each of the champions you defeat in The King's Leap challenge gives you 2 coins. Plus, if you beat the Queen after defeating all the others, you'll get an extra coin, bringing the total from this challenge to 11 coins.
- Secret Coin 5 (Inkwell Isle Four): On the new Inkwell Isle Four, there's a secret coin behind Chef Saltbaker's bakery. You can access it via a secret route from the opposite side of Porkrind's shop, or by going behind the waterfall.
That's all the coins! Happy hunting, and enjoy spending your hard-earned cash at the emporium!
