Cuphead - Chef Saltbaker Final Boss (Expert, S Rank, No Damage)

Cuphead - Chef Saltbaker Final Boss (Expert, S Rank, No Damage) This was my run of Chef Saltbaker on Expert with an S rank and no damage. Chef Saltbaker is the final boss of DLC Island in Cuphead: The Delicious Last Course.

You know something wrong when you’re the literal devil and people find a salt shaker more intimating then you XD

[@rayplaysgamesrpg7233]

Let us compare shall we? Devil's attacks that use his minions are smiling, needless to say they enjoy working for their boss. Saltbaker's attacks fully consists of the ingrediente you collected, and they are all seen screaming, crying, or suffering in agony. The Devil is evil and he keeps that persona throughout, not bother to hide it. Saltbaker is dark in the inside, but is nice outside, showing he is manipulative and can get anyone to do the work for him. The Devil peels off his own body to enter a bigger body. Needless to say he hates you to the bone. Saltbaker, even after you managed to shatter his body, the salt around him can be seen as his very soul, and if that isn't enough his heart later comes up, which in the Cuphead universe, is seen as their soul. The salt is the ghost, the heart is the soul. So he hates you, even after death and to the soul. It makes it sound like a Kirby Soul boss. So who sounds more heartless?

[@omega._.splatoon]

@@rayplaysgamesrpg7233 honestly both of the Devil’s and Saltbaker’s actions were cold. For the Devil, he’ll stay cold-hearted throughout the series, for Saltbaker, he reflects upon his actions with a song playing in the DLC Epilogue, we eventually see Saltbaker’s change and character development as he “bakes for good.” To answer your question both characters were cruel. But for who stays cruel throughout it’d be the Devil. Of course Saltbaker was actually manipulative as we thought he was friendly, but the Devil will stay evil throughout.

The music in this fight tells a story! 1. You’re faced with a foe that murders innocent ingredients. His evil grin shows how insane he’s gone in search for power! 2. The second phase, he’s slowly cracking both psychically and mentally. He’s got you in the palm of his hand, laughing maniacally. You’re in some serious shit now. 3. Phase 3, his bakery is destroyed, his body is destroyed, but his insides are still out to kill you. Phase 4 a hole opens signifying that this is the last stand, you lose and it’s over. His very heart and soul are out to get you due his pride being too great! The music has changed to a sense of hope and courage. You have the fate of the world in your hands, it’s up to you to make it a good one. When you beat him, the fanfare signifies you conquering the ultimate foe. It’s over. You’ve finished Cuphead. The final chapter concludes as the future of Studio MDHR looks bright, and your excitement awaits for what they will do in the future. Thank you. 🙏

similar glitches have also happened on the devil since the port launched. both also suffer long load times, and after exiting to the map from the saltbaker fight, sometimes the game won’t get off the loading screen ever

[@MrBda241]

@@amso7169 I didn't experience any long load time at any point in the game, I don't know anything about the Saltbaker load time, I never went to the map during his fights.

[@Pionterus]

My switch version rarely glitched out, thats kinda odd

[@corrin813]

I feel bad for the people that didn't use the genies wish for the 9HP here because it's by far the hardest Cuphead boss with everything going on

[@aydenrozzelle7691]

How many times can you use it?

[@anarchistmaverick9507]

Genie wish only work in regular or simple

[@kris_something]

@@aydenrozzelle7691 three times if you havent beaten the devil, but when you beat the devil you can use it how ever as many times as you want

@@kris_something thank you, but just to be clear your talking about regular devil not dream devil right?

@@aydenrozzelle7691 yes, I am talking about the devil in inkwell hell.

I love how the true final boss of cuphead, a game known for being notoriously difficult, *is a man made of salt*

[@nobbynobbs8182]

God I'm happy that games like these exist. Too hard for me but thankfully there's videos like these to enjoy the art

[@itzflame5523]

Yes, I know how amazing and sinister and just good in general CSB is, but can we just talk about how FREAKING SMOOTH the animations are??!!

[@idunno6844]

As someone who as beaten all bosses in Expert, I can say that even just beating this guy on Expert, let alone beating him with NO DAMAGE, is ludicrous. It took me nearly 2 hours to just beat him in Expert, so I imagine beating him with no damage is almost impossible. Kudos to you.

[@chileshems88]

His laugh at the start of the second phase lmao 0:58

[@lasertaster]

I can’t even comprehend what I’m looking at for most of this fight, there is so much happening all over the screen. Never understood how people play this game but major props lol

[@acousticeel9695]

Very nice detail that Saltbaker can swipe either sugar cubes or limes off the cutting board in his intro and thats the attack that starts first before he has the chance to send anything else.

[@swaggasaurus4837]

Me: *watches this* "Oh its not gonna be that hard" *Tries and gets nailed by a sugar cube within the first two seconds*

[@whistletv4448]

Damn this is such a good dlc, hope to see big KZbinrs like jacksepticeye and markipiler play it or something.

[@percivaldesertmoon677]

Yeah me too their in for a surprise

[@Nonamearisto]

This is like some Richard Williams quality right there. Damn.

[@gamerc5811]

This. Fight. Was. Rough.

[@terezmo1497]

i died so many times to the first phase to this boss, just look at those gorgeous animations, its eye candy.

[@alainenricomariabattaglia298]

Absolutely wonderful animations...

[@johnx4531]

This looks insanely hard. Good work on getting an S-rank, and defeated the boss on expert!

[@pheonixflareon9505]

We not going to mention how amazing the sync with the final fanfare of baking the wonder tart with the Xbox achievement sound matches so damn well?

[@manpersonthehuman2681]

Chef Saltbaker, despite being a piece of work on Expert, is the best boss in the game.

[@exotic1405]

God the animation is so GGOOOODODOODOD

[@anarchohelenism]

This is some of the best animation I’ve ever seen!

[@kacperyt3824]

The fact this music is called *Baking The Wondertart sure is terrifying.*

[@kirby980]

I love how in the trailer he is shown to bee nice

[@rustyjuice9493]

The design of this game is literally brilliant.

[@AlexM19999]

I have a really hard time identifying the music behind all the sound effects, but for the fight(exclusively the parts in this video), are both of the songs 'the finishing touch' and 'baking the wondertart' included or just one. If just one which one, and where does the other one play, and if both where is the transition between the songs here?

[@AntifreezeTea]

From what I can tell its ONLY "Baking the Wondertart" but it seems it loops and transitions parts according to which phase.

[@ThatCatBeerus]

Phase 1 0:00 Phase 2 0:53 Mini Phase 1:57 Phase 4/ finale 2:14

[@ZTB43]

2:34 KNOCKOUT

[@JJ-rn5in]

I noticed something, when saltbaker grows giant he forms cracks on him but when he slammed the table he showed no sign of cracks meaning that when he bursed though the roof it gave him damage

[@Xmd500]

Watching this after beating him on expert on PC. Man this was a fun and tough DLC. Nice work bro

[@thecoomer6574]

Imagine if that huge salt monster at the end of the second phase was actually what his final phase was instead of what we got

[@meattowerofficial]

It’s sad seeing live food getting ready to die by this mad murderer.

[@speedymatt1236]

You got a SUPER rare achievement for that one, congrats!

[@m0istur]

I love how the music when you finally beat him has an ending that truly says "Fin"

[@Snatchyz]

I have no idea why SaltBaker could’ve just smashed Cuphead with his hand when he’s big.

[@HMF_325]

He prefers to fight them so they could have a more painful death

[@ERenato]

Here’s a question. What happens if during the final boss stage you just parry the heart and deal no damage?

[@ellisp276]

You can’t win

[@robloxcool88]

The phase will essentially remain infinite; much like all Cuphead bosses, violence is the only solution.

[@TibbyII]

@@robloxcool88 lol idk why but this made me laugh
