Conquer Cuphead's DLC with our guide to community challenges and speedruns. Master S-Ranks, secret bosses, and the Cursed Relic for 100% completion.

The Delicious Last Course DLC for Cuphead introduces new challenges, bosses, and achievements that test your skills. This guide covers how to achieve S-Ranks on all bosses, complete secret challenges, and master speedrunning techniques.

Community Challenges & Speedrunning:

  1. A Vacation In The Wilds: Defeat all five main bosses in Inkwell Isle IV (The Moonshine Mob, Esther Winchester, Glumstone The Giant, Mortimer Freeze, The Howling Aces). This is story-related and cannot be missed.
  2. Ranger: Obtain an A-Rank or higher on all bosses in Inkwell Isle IV. Requirements include defeating the boss in under two minutes on Regular difficulty, having at least 3HP remaining, landing three parries, and six special attacks. The two secret bosses count towards this. Using Djimmi The Great's wishes for more HP will void progress.
  3. Alive And Kicking: Defeat any boss with Ms. Chalice. Equip the Astral Cookie charm and defeat any boss from Inkwell Isle I to IV, including DLC bosses and original favorites.
  4. Decadent: Defeat 10 bosses with Ms. Chalice. This only counts main bosses. Equip new DLC weapons and defeat all bosses on Inkwell Isle I and II on Simple or Regular difficulty.
  5. The Golden Touch: Defeat a boss with 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.
  6. The Latest Sensation: Defeat a boss with one of Porkrind's new weapons (Converge, Crackshot, Twist-Up). These weapons also help with other trophies.
  7. Checkmate: Defeat all of the King Of Games' Champions (The Pawns, The Knight, The Bishop, The Rook, and The Queen). Weapons and charms are not allowed; victory is achieved solely through parrying. Ms. Chalice's dash parry ability is particularly helpful.
  8. A King's Admiration: Defeat the King's Gauntlet. After defeating the Champions, this challenge requires defeating all five mini-bosses in sequence without failing. Failing restarts the entire gauntlet.
  9. Compliments To The Chef: Complete your quest on Inkwell Isle IV by defeating all five main bosses and collecting the ingredients for the Wondertart. This unlocks the secret antagonist, Chef Saltbaker, for a final boss fight. Crackshot, Ms. Chalice, and determination can help.
  10. Cooked To Perfection: Get an S-Rank on a stage of Inkwell Isle IV. S-Ranks are only obtainable on Expert difficulty (unlocked after finishing the main story and dealing with The Devil). The criteria are the same as A-Ranks. The Moonshine Mob is a recommended target.
  11. The High Hat: Defeat a boss on Inkwell Isle IV without killing any of its minions. Esther Winchester in
