Though I find it very odd how Cuphead immediately forgave him. Obviously, it's a cartoon. It's a reference to the ol joke of how villains redeem themselves and everyone is friends.

this boss actually worked better execution wise as a final boss than the devil not just in terms of difficulty but rather the atmosphere of the fight itself...the Devil felt too cartoonishly goofy but Saltbaker was absolutely terrifying in each phase even the music was more menacing.

[@umpauloqualquer314]

Yeah, the fact that saltbaker was actively killing ingredients through the fight while the devil was just chilling in the back gives the chef a more sinister aura, that plus the final stage looks more hellish than the devil's hell.

The Devil is cartoonish evil, he’s the devil so he must represent everything that is bad by virtue, Salt Baker on the other hand is much more grounded and his presentation makes him much more evil in comparison.

This guy is a terrifying boss. His attacks in the first stage are basically him butchering his ingredients and sending their remains at you. The second stage has you attacking him with PEPPER, the companion to SALT, which makes you wonder why they hate him so much. The third isn’t that scary, but it makes you wonder if he was sealed in that glass body for a reason. Also, you know, the fact that he attacks with what is essentially his innards

Unlike the devil this is a man you didn’t expect to be so intentionally malicious after basically being your friend throughout the DLC. Glad he redeemed himself though.

Now I understand why they delayed the cuphead DLC. Totally worth waiting almost half a decade for. The animation is just amazing. If you compare this boss fight with the Devil’s boss fight, you can see how much the creators improved on animation, almost as if it’s a whole different game!

[@AurumnBGM]

I agree, but decade?? We only waited 4 years for it, its not even *almost* a decade

Well, the original game was first shown in 2013. This fulfilling the experience means we fully got it after 9 years.

[@AurumnBGM]

The dlc was announced In 2019, so we only had to wait 3 years for it. That's a pretty typical wait time, considering how long it takes games to come out these days.

[@Superemie401]

We also have different animations before and after the boss, in function who’s captured. This is how we can unlock the endings: Trapped Cuphead: He was to have the cookie as the charm. Trapped Mugman: Same as Cuphead, but Mugman has to have the cookie instead of his brother. Trapped Mrs.Chalice (Yep, that’s possible.): None of the characters have the cookie as the charm.

[@mohdyazid6680]

The Final Boss Being Saltbaker is terrifying. him literally killing the fruits. Stealing the strawberries. Breaking himself off. It also felt sad that the last boss is your trusted chef. making you felt sorry for him after his lost. and the credits showing that he asks for mercy because he just follows what he knows. I'm glad that he redeemed himself and learning the goods from others. Becoming a true friend who makes best desserts alive.

Chef Saltbaker was indeed the finest chef in all the lands, but behind his friendly façade laid an obsession. To use his culinary skills to control the Astral Plane itself. In his mind, to be one with life and death would make him nothing less than a God. But for all his baking prowess, he could never achieve his goal without the right ingredients, and especially without the secret ingredient; a living soul. And yet by chance, a living soul would end up finding him! The Legendary Chalice had heard of his talent, and sought him out to help her become a living being again. She even brought up that she knew a couple of mugs who could aid him with whatever needed to be done. Faster than a kitchen timer going 'DING', the Chef knew from there exactly what he needed to do in order to create that delicious last course.....

[@pendragonxt3674]

Nice origin.

Weirdly enough, in the last picture of the epilogue all three cups are fully corporeal. Maybe the chef found out that the true key to the wondertart was, well, hard work and practice?

[@dynostretch9215]

I think one the hardest things I found in fighting this boss is trying to focus on the objects coming at you everywhere when Saltbaker's mutilating those helpless sentient ingredients in the background. It was very hard not to look at the limes trying to run away just before their tops are lopped off, or the sugar cube's innocent face before he's shattered into particles. This may have been intentional on the design team's part, and if so, well played... but yikes. Incidentally though, I managed to get an *A+* on Saltbaker last night when I beat him for the first time! Granted it took me many, many tries to finally win, and I wasn't even trying to do a perfect run, but did it anyway. Plus I did it with Cuphead himself rather than Ms. Chalice, and I normally *suck* at this game, so it was kind of a big deal for me.

Right!

[@Superemie401]

He also manipulated three innocent people, kidnapped one of them (Even though Cuphead is kidnapped here, Mugman and Mrs.Chalice can be kidnapped instead.) and (Only if Cuphead or Mugman is captured.) almost separated Cuphead/Mugman from his brother!

Your comment looks and sounds like a video title.

[@jordano.3650]

Studio MDHR is more Disney than Disney is nowadays. The animation quality is absolutely impeccable. I really wanted the Devil's boss fight to be more dynamic like this one. The dude literally just sits on his ass and cries lmao

[@dapperblack3509]

Im not too shocked that hes the final boss Literally when the 1st trailer he was introduced in people immediately started speculating that he was the final boss 🤣

[@johnpetre9523]

Saltbaker being the bad was awesome and easy to spot but what he does god Thats just scary and how he got redeemed is kinda wow

[@Savagewolver]

It’s like Chalice said. Nothing beats having good pals.

It took me a while to realize, he's using the very ingredients YOU gathered from the other bosses as weapons against you in the first phase. That's just insulting.

5:41, I just noticed, in this final shot it shows all 3 cups alive, meaning in the end he baked the wondertart a second time and actually used it to bring Chalice back this time

Holy fucking shit did MDHR improve a lot in the DLC's animations. Comparing this boss fight with the Devil in the OG game really just makes your jaw drop. The wait was totally worth it.

[@cynicalbear8686]

Can we all appreciate how amazing the animation has got

[@Josh-ql1zi]

Chef Saltbaker was a great twist villian. This could have been an out of nowhere twist that made no sense, but the writers made sure that his motivations made sense and they gave hints that he was going to be bad.

[@garrtoons4303]

Saltbaker is channeling his inner Coachman. 😵😨

...He only got community service for what was essentially a double attempted murder?

[@almondjoy4938]

Not to mention his flippant killing of other people during his first Phase.

[@Yume2kki]

it was probably cuphead , mugman , and ms chalice who asked the judge for him to get community service . i dont think the judge wouldve been so easy on him if neither of them asked .

[@lplenny]

I knew he would be the final boss, but I didn't expect the fight to be kinda disturbing.

[@RetroShark360]

The boss fight is animated very well. Its crazy good. I am glad they took as long as they needed.

[@gozzythebat]

This boss fight was magical and terrifying, like being transported into some Disney Horror movie 👌

[@somerandomdepresseddude]

This guy makes the Devil look like a nice guy

[@supersmashbro596]

saltbaker was probably a super nice guy before finding out that recipe. in fact, while people say he was worse than the devil, i dont think chef saltbaker is entirely at fault. in fact, how DID he find out about that recipe if the devil didnt "accidentally" leak it to him. why WOULDN'T the devil know how to make such a thing? besides, at the end of the day, saltbaker is still better than the devil, as he learned his lesson (and was likely freed from his madness)

[@FromThe36thChamber]

I think what people who complain about the "obvious twist" realize THAT TOO, is clearly inspired by how the cartoons at the time were written. But as usual people were so busy going "im so smart I knew it right away" they dont realize they're embarrassing themselves

[@RandomPurplePerson]

In all my years of cuphead, I never thought I’d be fighting a baker.

[@sirorliktheironclad]

I thought Chef Saltbaker would be this pure evil villain who gets no redemption for his actions, however he’s not pure evil and makes up for his misdeeds becoming a better person.

[@redmage808]

Wow!! The boss looks amazing and I love all his animations and attacks

[@sloft-70]

The Saltbaker's look during the fight really resonates old Disney villan

I figured Saltbaker was going to be the villain the second I saw the trailer, but the last thing I expected was for him to be that insane. At least he redeemed himself, though.

You’re not alone. Actually, I feel bad for the ingredients and for the trapped character, but particularly if it’s Cuphead or Mugman and if the other brother fight Saltbaker with Chalice.

For a food-themed boss, he was surprisingly lovecraftian
