Cuphead DLC - King's Gauntlet (The King's Leap Boss Challenge)

[@xtrafries123]

A pretty neat detail I noticed in each of these boss fights is that there's always a checkered pattern present in every backround art.

[@ObjectAnimationStudio]

I like how Knights death quote is “A W for me, and an L for you!” Referencing the knight moving in a L shape in Chess

[@Mariod1009-w8u]

It does actually

[@ObjectAnimationStudio]

@@Mariod1009-w8u might be that one of the game devs have played chess and wanted to put the Knight's move into a quote when you die in the game

[@dr_brainiac]

the king totally used us to get back at his wife

[@Nicolas-gq9be]

YESS

[@Derpy_The_Goober]

Accurate

[@strangecolouredbird]

It took me an embarrassingly long time to beat the pawns. Please don't ask.

[@margrietpruim1244]

WELL, maybe it's because I need to dodge them the one without heads and also there are 8 of them.

[@petetanaka4]

me too. you arent alone

[@heckromancer382]

how long did it take you to beat the pawns?

[@strangecolouredbird]

@@heckromancer382 Three *days*

[@Krystal40553]

The pawns and the Bishop took me forever, the pawns I spent 3 hours on because I suck at parries and I quit doing the challenges and went back to the DLC until I got stuck on a boss and need coins so I had to go back and finished it, it took me another 2 hours to finally beat the pawns. Then it me 2-3 hours to beat the bishop as he spawning where I landed and the speed he kept going. But the other challenges won’t too beat and the Queen was my favorite challenge. I think to beat all the DLC it took me 3 days in total. In fact I had an easier time beating the DLC bosses than the actual Cuphead Game as when the DLC came out I still haven’t finished the game and I was stuck on Dr Kal’s robot boss which originally made me quit the game. Then after beating the DLC I still couldn’t beat Dr Kal’s robot but eventually I did and now I’m stuck on King Dice.

[@Em0yama]

This boss rush is so good someone made a game based on these characters called "chess"

[@DOOMBRIGER_WITH_THE_BOY]

Yes and all of it is chess like Pawn is a people 0:26 Knight is a horse 1:00 Bishop is a people but only move in corner 2:25 Rook is a tower with people 3:43 Queen is a people but can move like all of it 5:00 King is a people but scary of enemy 0:00 (Btw King is kind in Cuphead I Don't know why)

[@renotoad]

The knight moved forward thats, ILLEGAL

[@The_whales]

The pawns are moving in a line that isn’t moving forward and also they didn’t hit anything so it makes it more ilegal

[@randomperson-jh5ys]

Thatis somehow more illegal then the fact that the rook has infinite murders and I love it

[@hideandseekwithouthide1416]

Lol😂

[@gamerkalvin8663]

Did you forget that the bishop sometimes moved forward that,s ILLEGAL he,s supposed to go in a X like shape

[@jamesliu8095]

Actually he would move forwards then attach upwards, like a knight would.

[@JerryCarrie]

The Knight is the funniest boss because he taunts you for camping😂

[@Derpy_The_Goober]

Yet the knight is my favorite to use in chess cuz he moves in a L and my name is Liam.

[@BabyAdriver2565]

Yeah,he akinda reminds me of Disney's goofy for being you know really GOOFY 😂

[@Mattcai2004]

Am i the only one who thinks the queen's chattering teeth sound is a bit unsettling?

[@borysk2910]

No not only you

[@margrietpruim1244]

Well...same

[@britishperson1]

the pawns moved sideways and the knight moved forward.. thats AN ILLEGAL MOVE

[@AzureMoebius22]

There is a chess-themed boss fight in 9 Years of Shadows that not only has the pieces follow their proper movement patterns, but their attacks operate similarly.

[@margrietpruim1244]

Did anyone realized he was using the Golden Chalice Filter????

[@oliwiapro9514]

I realize

[@daryantsns3448]

Is that what that is? Does that have something to do with why the thing said “Cross” instead of something like “A” or something?

[@Tyranitar.]

@@daryantsns3448no that’s just the playstation version

[@gustavochavarria8161]

I didn't know these fights are based around the Chess pieces.

[@aloevi4850]

Really? It is really easy to tell. Especially since there is a flag with their logo on every fight which is easy to notice.

I was only able to beat the pawns and the bishop using Cuphead, the rest I had to beat with Ms. Chalice

[@BLZ231]

I could beat all of them with Cuphead, but admittedly I haven’t been able to complete the gauntlet yet.

[@Kids_Scissors]

What's Ms. Chalice's deal again? Doesn't she just exclusively parry to defeat enemies or somethin?

[@Spikey_Spike]

@@Kids_Scissors Ms. Chalice can dash to parry and double jump at the cost of being unable to use charms

@@Spikey_Spike ah I see

​@@Spikey_SpikeUsing Ms. Chalice is a charm herself: Can't be hurt when dashing, her dash can parry, double jump, 1 extra HP, unique supers... Sometimes using her feels like cheating :3

[@Derpy_The_Goober]

Why? He was fawning over a Betty Boop Looking Gullotine?

[@CooperGal24]

Interesting how the King isn’t a boss, despite the fact that the King is one of the chess pieces in the game of chess. I guess it could be that the King can only move one square, which makes sense.

[@Marisathegemfox]

I had to count how many perrys it takes to get rid of all these characters. Well almost because I had a tough time remembering them Pawns: 8 perrys Knight: 20 perrys Bishop: 8 or 9 perrys Rook: Can't remember Queen: 6 perrys (Or so I think) I hope this helps out to those who are trying to earn the achievement for the gauntlet. Good luck

Pawns must have been realy hard to figure out

[@heresacaterpillarifoundinm8679]

Is there a reason why every channel I've seen showcasing the dlc bosses never show these guys?

[@mikeblackmetal]

The DLC bosses can be considered in 2 kinds: Chef Saltbaker's quest and Chess King tournament. Maybe these guys can't be considered as normal bosses.

[@ÑwhatÑ]

Maybe because they want to make another video but only with the King's Gauntlet bosses

[@Muho_is_me]

They are more of a mini boss to geg Gold in DLC (similar to the run and gun levels in inkwell) probably thats why

You have to hit his hair when after he did attack like you have to get near then watch out of these attack And yes he only have 3 attack Like Slash, Big slash, and also Heading so on slash u have to dodge it and then hit his hair quickly before he use sword and on big slash just get away then hit his hair quickly before he start fighting and lastly heading and yes you have to jump then hit the hair before getting up.
