I would appreciate it if you would like, subscribe, and leave a comment down below! I mainly make music since I am majoring in Music Production, but after the success of my first tier list video, I decided to try and continue making videos! Feel free to comment any suggestions on what I should make next. I would also appreciate any constructive criticism about this video and what I can improve on! Could I have explained something better? Maybe better visualization? Let me know!

Props to Wally Warbles for universally being considered torture to S-rank while spending two phases of his fight hospitalized.

Real.

That boss was traumatizing to beat

[@shadypixel4478]

Shoutout to everyone who beat the S rank game without the DLC

[@StrawberryCocoaPowder]

I always thought Root Pack was the first boss because it introduces you to ho bosses will be like way better than Goopy. -They show how phases work. One is on the side, one can be on the middle, and one can be in the very back. -They introduce to way more Parry opportunities than Goopy. And not to mention its more complex in comparison lol

[@MrKap]

Well, I feel like what you're saying is proving my point. Goopy is so basic, that he's MEANT to be the VERY first boss you fight against. Then after you learn about different boss phases and mechanics. It's the only placement Goopy makes sense in, in my opinion.

[@Mikescool444]

⁠@@MrKap yeah, it’s like some form of multi-stage tutorials The actual tutorial shows you the mechanics that you’ll be utilizing. Goopy introduces the concept of bosses, dodging and attacking, and phase transitions. Then the root pack introduces a proper overarching theme between phases, varied patterns, different play styles, and finally how to capitalize off of reacting quickly to parry bullets.

[@maxwellmegagamer8535]

@@MrKapwdym, I literally S ranked root pack first try, goopy took 5 or so because his physics when bouncing off a wall make no sense which makes it very easy to get hit especially on phase 2

[@MichaelJacksonRobloxGaming]

@@maxwellmegagamer8535for me it’s a switch

[@TopadHC]

​@@MrKapThe actual order in-game for Inkwell Island 1 goes as follows: 1. The Root Pack 2. Goopy Le Grande 3. Hilda Berg 4. Cagney Carnation 5. Ribby and Croaks This definitely isn't the order I played them in, and I especially think it's weird the game considers Ribby and Croaks as the last boss because I played them second.

[@DragonKing920]

Someone count the amount of times he plugged his S rank guide playlist even I was convinced to watch it *(Watch it or else)*

[@arifrulz]

back in my days, without the dlc and yer op charms, it was torture to s-rank hilda berg and grim. Honestly, this impacted me when the dlc came out. As i would not use chalice, cursed, or heart charm when s-ranking

[@Luke_SkywaIker]

Proud to say that I also S-ranked the base game before the DLC came out. Though crackshot makes it infinitely easier I have to admit

[@davidpaxtor7042]

same, 200% before the dlc. After the dlc, I felt like using the heart charms didn't feel like really s ranking, at least to me because of how the base game made me play

[@wyattskinner697]

The reason Mangosteen is so easy and weird is because he’s a reference to Melonbread from Gunstar hero’s, which btw the level he’s featured in also inspired the king dice level.

[@demonarcher1661]

This was a blast of a watch and being someone introduced by your original tier list and seeing how far you gone is night and day. Amazing job

[@user-vf1cl7zj2r]

how the hell?

[@fortnut-bad]

A lil fun detail of my s-ranking adventure is that to be able to beat dr khal's robot i had to turn on black and white mode. I know it might seem counterintuitive, but i just couldnt dustinguish the red crystals from the background, and apparently the black and white filter helped me. Oh, and for the same reason i had to turn on 2-stripes for phantom express. The last phase always got me with the bonewheel attack, and 2-stripes seemed to solve the issue of me not seeing it

[@citriosis]

I mean hey, whatever works! That's super cool, tbh.

I agree with almost everything from this tier list! Solid ranking! My first time playing I struggled with some of the bosses that were lower on the list. I think that’s normal for this game though. I’m currently trying to finish S Ranking some of the bosses. I might have to go rewatch your guides because I’m struggling with Wally Warbles, Hilda Berg, Mortimer Freeze, and Chef Saltbaker. But don’t worry, I’ll get there eventually!

[@UltraMarioBrothers]

9:44 What inspiring words, I’m truly inspired by this speech.

[@Stone55]

I do mostly agree about king dice. I S ranked him on my first try, so easily that i went back and did an S rank run beating all mini bosses (minus time requirement because duh) Edit: I actually had a decent amount of trouble with sally stageplay’s time requirement so much that i S ranked it with secret phase

[@firstwaddledee9182]

I will always find it so weird that people find the muffin in Baroness Von Bon Bon’s fight is the hardest mini boss. To me it is by far the easiest one.

[@MrKap]

I really hate trying to beat him. Very annoying and id rather fight any of the other bosses than Muffsky honestly

[@firstwaddledee9182]

@@MrKap I find every other mini boss there harder than him. Just walk assay and there isn’t anything he can do.

[@BigBossMan538]

I’ve almost gotten an A+ against Saltbaker but took a hit in the final phase. No I’m not salty.

@@Hard2Place hahahahhahahha

[@Borderlinepenguin]

That happened to me 😭

[@BerdlyGaming]

I really liked this tierlist and a lot of the reasoning you had! If I had to complain about one thing, it’s that you mentioned the fight being easier a lot once you’re familiar for controversial placements like 22:26, but mentioned at 32:23 that this part is difficult because you have to get familiar. Just a small nit-picky observation, great video!

[@MrKap]

Thank you for the comment! I wanted to add that, just because I said something similar for bosses in different tiers doesn't necessarily mean anything. And also, I'm not sure I get what you mean about your observation? For that particular phase of Wally, yes, once you get comfortable with the eggshells, the phase becomes much easier to consistently pass, but what does that have to do with the "controversial placements"?

[@BerdlyGaming]

@@MrKap It was mostly just because of the context you brought each thing up in. It seemed like you downplayed the scroll mechanic of rumor’s fight as something that shouldn’t really be considered since you just get used to it, but brought up the eggshells as a difficult obstacle that contributes to the boss being so difficult. Orrrr I was tired and had no idea what I was talking about cause I watched the video and made this comment a bit after I woke up :p I was probably searching for something to comment on after I got concerned why baroness was placed above glumstone lol. Sorry about that xD

[@TMSonicIronic.]

It took me 2 hours to S rank Wally Warbles because I always went over the time limit, so now for me it takes around 6 tries to get the s rank.

[@kingheassler2744]

Thank you for putting so much love and work you are a Awesome youtuber

[@BambiKilla40]

Incredible video and entertaining the whole way through. Love the Tierlist, especially because you know the game through and through, which means you can give great opinions. I also came back to Cuphead and tried to S Rank/ rebeat some bosses on Expert, and I agree with most of your opinions.

[@MrKap]

I really appreciate the kind words! I pride myself on trying to learn, and then teach all the knowledge I've gathered throughout the many years of playing Cuphead! I do also plan on expanding out to more games for the same reason. Thank you for the comment and I'm glad you agree with the list!

[@BambiKilla40]

@@MrKap No problem, your videos are great. Not sure if this would be possible, but would a Two Person S Rank Tier List be any different from this Tier List? Curious.

Ive been S ranking cuphead, starting with isle 1. Everything was going pretty well, and im on my last one to beat, Hildaberg. But GOD IVE BEEN STRUGGLING And did not know why. To see you rank her so high made me feel way better about my lack of skill here lol

[@claytonstacy4407]

For King dice, you can also pick MangoSteen as your third miniboss.

[@C0DY420]

A tip to make hopus pocus even easier to S-Rank is that in only expert mode, you can just duck to avoid the skull explosion

[@TMSonicIronic.]

On the second phase on hilda berg, the easiest way to go right pass that is to use 3 ex's right at the start.

[@brandontowle1109]

Great video. I S ranked every boss and BY FAR Wally Warbles and Mortimer Freeze took hours on end

[@MrKap]

Thank you for the kind words!

[@ExcaliburSonictheKing]

The "A tricky boss turned into a little b*tch" part had me rolling on the floor😂

[@lisagagliardo3894]

This video was way better than your old one. The original wasn't bad, but this one was so much better. Also, I hadn't played cuphead a lot, but Ribby and Croaks, in my opinion, are very hard. At least from what I've seen.

[@bitesthedust69]

In my opinion, The Robot is easier than say: Wally Warbles, because he is predictable. The laser just tracks you, the parry laser always does the same thing, and the S-missiles at the bottom always follow the same path. Then, the bolts blast always has the same pattern, the hands/magnet always does the same thing, and the bombs are just bombs. For Wally, his attacks are random, he flies up and down so the eggs are always shot at different locations, Willy feels so RNG with his movements and the spinning egg shield is crazy

[@user-bt4uv6ty2v]

Wally and Kaul also didn't take me much time to S-rank

[@SlingScoop]

Robots easy

[@TAKOMAN1]

31:41 I coincidentally S ranked the boss again with no hits yesterday lol. Other than that, I really like your video. I even learned a few things about the game. And this time, I agree with most of the tiers even though I played it way differently than you with a no DLC rule, because Crackshot and Heart Ring are extremely broken. Oh boy, Chef Saltbaker was a nightmare because I only used the Charged Shot in my S rank run.

If ima be real, i've been making the same video about the same tier list back in febuary (My first real edited video, not uploaded). Only found out about your videos just now. Great watches! Hope I don't get called a "copy" y'know. GL on your youtube channel tho! Quality shit

[@bloemkoolendestreetgang450]

28:35 i like to wait for the eels to appear and then use my super, the super has enough splash damage to kill the eels and thatll make dodging their electric thingies when she turns you to stone much easier

[@MrKap]

I've started doing that more often.

[@itamareizikovich6973]

in the second phase there's a sweet spot where you can avoid becoming stone while still being able to deal damage with bombs and (if you play your supers right) dodge the little things the eels spit. the third phase is similar apart for staying just low enough to not get hit by the bubbles and moving when you see the stone columns coming up from behind her head. 28:04

[@GeneralPenguinIsCool]

I love all these videos. The original is probably my most viewed video ever, and I LOVE cuphead. I've still not beaten the entire game, but i found Root Pack, Moonshine Mob and Glumstone the Giant really easy; Baroness Bon Bon, Bepster the Clown, Rumour Honeybottoms, Captain Briney Beard, and Ribby and Croaks were OK but kinda difficult; and Hilda Berg, Mortimer Freeze, Wally Warbles and Grim Matchstick were not kind. Disclaimer: ive never S ranked. The best score ive got is an A+ on Moonshine Mob. Edit: OK, after beating Werner Wermin, Howling Aces and Angel and Demon: they're all in the same tier as my boy Bepster

[@cdgissel]

Thank you I feel so validated! Although I'd still put the ice wizard in the s rank because this perrys absolutely piss me off!

[@TopPotato109]

Surprisingly the only S rank I did for the DLC achievement is the salt shaker (by accident while trying to achieve A- for him), and the hardest bosses to A- rank were the moonshine mob (my brain just couldn’t comprehend the anteater for some reason) and the ice king

[@JasperLane]

Not going to lie, I was about to fight you when you started ranking all of the mini bosses, as I consider them just a part of the KD boss fight, luckily you consider them when looking at KD so I will allow this. Great tier list, completely disagree with The Howling aces, they kick my ass eight ways to sunday. And looking at Werner Werman do you and I owe Potato King an apology? Maybe twister is S tier!!!!

[@Therandomguyab]

16:55 you can basically cheat this with either Ms chalice or smoke dash and going in the corner with crack shot. It still sends the shots and just dash or dodge when red bowls come at you

[@BlazerMinecrafter]

this pretty much lines up with my experience, saltbaker s is such an endurance test

[@VeXJL]

Mate I'm so overspecialized with my set of skills for Cuphead that if I were to make a tier list it would be all over the place. I'm generally pretty good with plane bosses, and I've even speedran Moonshine Mob, Howling Aces, and Honeycomb Herald. Meanwhile, I still haven't S-ranked Glumstone, Mortimer Freeze, or Saltbaker lol. So yeah... my score card (the one that shows all the best times and ranks) is pretty freaking wild.

[@acebee46]

I think goopy and the root pack are both *the* tutorial bosses because they both introduce you to different basics. As another commenter said, the root pack show you different boss positions, teaches you to jump and shoot a static boss with basic parries, and obvious distinctions between phases. Goopy teaches you to be more adaptable with your dodges, how to duck and dash, how to shoot a moving target, and chaining parries Lots of different basic mechanics to teach

[@orange33340]

im glad i got to watch this live, and agree with the djimmi placement for once

[@obiwaldog517]

I've found that charge is also a good option for Grim since you can control how many shots hit any of the spheres

[@Frozzfire_Blackheart]

Also there is a secret phase that litterally make djimmi boss fight easier and faster (i think) so what you need to do is became small before djimmi summon the puppet, and the secret phase started and it actually just skip the entire puppet mini boss fight to djimmi's last phase with the new addiction of mini puppet as an extra course but its not really a huge deal

[@luihackerson2871]

I fought the root pack first in my first run and Hilda Berg was the reminder that things were going to get difficult for a noobie even then the plane levels get tricky because of the amount of obstacles thrown at you but even then just shrink a lot I found that useful even for bosses like Dr kahl's robot or Esther Winchester. Shrinking makes you fly faster while the mini plane fire sucks and never hits but that's the trick of knowing how to switch back and forth fast

[@KrazyLime115]

I had to cry in the at 4:20, I payed you money to say mangosteen was the hardest boss and you had to do him like that! Keep up the good work Kap, and maybe stream a little bit? 😉

[@anthonyoliver418]

A good strat for The final boss of the DLC is to bring chaser with the crack shot, use chaser for when he is far but switch to crack shot when he is near you, then in the second phase focus on whittling down multiple of the damage enemies instead of focusing on one row because even with the chaser (which makes whittling multiple at once way easier) as long as you target multiple of them at once you will do decent damage, finally use crackshot for third then chaser for fourth since as long as you cleared second efficiently you should be good

[@oscaratriano8534]

the strat i use is chaser charged shot, first phase i use chaser for everything 2nd phase u can kill the pepper things with a charged shot and one uncharged so u can kill the bottom 2 at a fairly fast pace (and if you're chalice her invincible roll is phenomenal for this phase of the fight) kill 3rd phase with charged (2 hits) then sweep last phase with chaser might not be the best for s ranks but its still a great combo for the fight (i get crackshot chaser tho, crackshot can help so much with the dough sheep that come in the first phase)

[@SylvinTheSlug]

Chalice second super carry

[@RedPandaOL]

Now that I’ve S-ranked him, I can confirm that putting anything above Dr Khals Robot is a felony

[@MrKap]

This is why this is so subjective in reality, because if I said that in this video, I would've gotten absolutely bombarded with messages saying the opposite. Now objectively, I believe this is not an easy boss and takes skill to get past and beat, especially his last phase, and I believe I ranked him very fairly on the list. But I still get people everyday judging my placement on all the bosses, including Dr Kahl saying I ranked them too high, which I find crazy from an objective POV. And that goes for all my tier lists, including the Run 'n Gun tier list Short series I'm doing currently. Pretty much every Short of those, people are commenting I'm wrong lol. At this point, everyone has their own view of reality and we should try to all be accepting of that if it fits within reason, which I don't mind your reality; Dr Kahl really is pretty difficult without much knowledge of what to do.

[@GB-sr9kv]

wanna know something funny? I S ranked wally warbles while doing a chaser plus twin heart (and only super art 2 but that doesn’t matter for this) challenge, ngl i dont know how but i did it

[@LaggyMag]

Wally Warbles had no business being as hard as he was. Took me weeks to S rank while most bosses only took me days.

[@user-so9kq6om2s]

Honestly, as hard as it may have been to S rank Saltbaker, it was a really fun one. Especially the last phase that makes your heart rate reach near lethal levels LOL.

[@ampersand6397]

I guess I consider root pack to be the first boss because the run and guns feel more like bonuses than actual stages? And the way to goopy is the way you have to go to actually progress and leave the island so I guess looping back all the way to root pack feels awkward.

[@aarav6947]

By the way if you want to cheese the first stage of cagey you can just go the left side of the screen and aim upwards with a homing weapon, it’ll kill all the minions and leave you unharmed

[@latexu9589]

17:14 Which control option did you use for that phase? A, which keeps your normal movement directions during the flip, or B, which makes you move left and right when you move the stick up and down?🤔🎮

[@MrKap]

Just the normal controls. Easy to get used to and preferable for spamming EX's and whatnot.

[@Emm_Hi]

Chef Saltbaker truly gave me the most trouble out of all bosses. I played with Miss Chalice, Super art 2, charge and crackshot And damn, it was hard. The first time I beat it on expert I missed one parry, after that I wouldn't make it to thelast phase for like another 50 attempts But by far the worst thing that could happened to me was being at the last phase with 4 hp, an active shield pal and 5 cards to activate another one. AND JUST BECAUSE OF NERVES I GOT HIT 4 CONSECUTIVE TIMES, INSTANTLY LOSING THE HP REQUIREMENT. That happened to me twice. Now that I have beaten it I don't feel nervous at all, and even got S rank in my first try when I started a new file. As a final tip, I highly recommend Chaser over Crackshot, because it never misses at the last phase.

[@gabrielross5083]

For howling aces I know it sounds dumb but turning my head sideways made the last phase a cakewalk

[@Batneen]

I love your channel

[@Nova_Galaxian]

Something I do to make saltbaker’s 2nd phase easier is bring charge. Each pepper shaker dies with 1 full charge and a simple tap of uncharged. Also be sure to also hit the top peppers with the same technique as the previous one on the bottom is in the middle of the “hitting saltbaker” animation. Seriously makes the 2nd phase a joke. At least to me it does. 3rd phase is kind of a joke too since 3 charged shots kill it. Yes, I’m serious.

[@Flipppers]

oh what should i pick heart ring or smoke bomb!? I got it you don't need to choose betwen them just use devine relict its even better in plane levels!

[@TotallySearch]

I haven't played Cuphead in years so I didn't remember if Mangosteen was tough or not, so the joke went past me and a lot of people I imagine

[@serious_santiago]

How would this Teir List change if you do not have DLC? Great vid btw

[@MrKap]

It would be pretty different. Many bosses you wouldn't have to worry about the HP requirement for, you now have to (unless you bring Twin Hearts to every fight). You also miss out on using Ms. Chalice and Crackshot, which are both really good. I don't think it would be DRASTICALLY different, but bosses that were easier would be harder, and bosses that were already hard (Wally Warbles for example) just become S tier hard. Everything else in the normal tiers would probably be at least similar if not the same imo.

[@cliffeside0730]

When I first beat all the bosses on expert, not trying to s rank, I beat rumour honeybottoms second try and almost s ranked her. Tried again and s ranked her straight away. My first s rank, including ink isle 1!! And beppi is my favourite boss too I can s rank him every time bad I play him when I’m getting frustrated with other bosses haha!

[@cliffeside0730]

Fun fact for Cala Maria’s second phase!! She has a sound cue before she freezes you, so if you turn your volume up you’ll hear the cue and then can hide near the top of her head to avoid being frozen, then carry on! The only Eason I’ve ever gotten even CLOSE to s ranking her.

[@dedicategrinder88]

11:58 EXACTLY ITS SO FUN LOL it uses like all the concepts of the game 16.1.24

[@thetisor24]

I 100% agree that Mortimer Freeze is the most un-fun boss to s rank in this game. Usually when u play a cuphead boss, they’re well designed enough to a point where if you can’t beat a boss, it’s most likely because you lack the skill. However, with Mortimer, I literally CANT beat the boss because of how inconsistent his parries are. It has nothing to do with how skilled I am, it comes down to RNG and I hate it

[@MrKap]

I couldn't agree more! 😁👍

[@spotlightanimation6719]

Treetop Trouble has the same problem with those damn ladybugs

[@tealightuke]

thanks for this. I'm an "above average" cuphead player. so far I got my S rank on all the non- airplane bosses (except that mf salt baker! still struggling to even get close with that one! . The airplane levels give me a so much trouble (tho I've gotten close a few times on hilda now!). This video gives me hope :)

[@crimoncowboy946]

Most of my Wally struggles come from his third phase. The eggshells are just so annoying. I either have to throw caution to the wind by going into the circle and spending most of the phase in his face, or stay on the left like a chicken and lose too much time

[@SnugglyStufs]

Would you ever do a tier list of the bosses without DLC crutches? (Charms, Weapons, Chalice)

[@MrKap]

Ehh, I feel like that would be 'milking' this content a bit too much. I don't want people to think that I'm making these videos for the clout or whatever, because I genuinely want to help people out with bosses and my reasonings as to why and how they're easy to deal with. I would consider making a video like that though, just maybe after some more time has passed.

[@Nathan-wf6bl]

My hardest S ranks: 1. Chef Saltbaker - A total nightmare! Even if I get a clean phase 1, phase 2 would ruin everything 2. Mortimer Freeze - That parry requirement sucks. Most of the time when I get the parries, the eyeball in the last phase ends me 3. Cala Maria - RNG hell 4. Wally Warbles - The last phase cost me most of my runs All of these were made easier thanks to your guides

[@leonardovaldivia5200]

IMO, Root pack is easier than goopy

Me personally the hardest boss in my opinion…is the legendary 8-Ball.

[@JLillo]

I'll co-sign on the Hilda placement. I remember a few years ago when I was trying to S-rank everything. On the first island, Cagney, Roots and Goopy were fairly trivial. Ribby and Croaks took about 30 minutes. Hilda took FOUR FREAKING HOURS. Just nasty work all around.

[@xenongd6974]

19:37 i have completed the game on regular and expert and i have never EVER noticed that the clouds move differently 😭😭

[@MrKap]

Lol. Yeah you honestly don't notice if you don't care for it. I was kinda surprised at first when I figured that out. I don't think it really matters personally, but it's a factor.

[@izzybozegaming]

The last phase used to be hard on cala Maria for me until I learned that you can stay right by her eyes and not get hit by the ghost or skulls

[@mikidabrowski1913]

i swear, baroness von bon bon was the hardest one for me when s ranking every boss, for some reason i didn’t realize the last stage peppermint counts toward your parry score and i focused too much on the jelly beans 😢

[@npc-333]

i can tell how bad i am at games like this because i have 1) spent 3 hours on beppi the clown (normal) 2) cried at the aforementioned fight 3) got a b+

[@sifurius]

Bro I got everything gold on chef salt baker and it gave me an A+

[@bendythemaster7551]

I used the curse relic for dr kahl and it took 3 trys mostly because of the final phase

[@hamzaemad6048]

''can i kiss you?''said cuphead, then calamaria replied with''okay but you wont turn to stone''.''yipeeeeeee''thought cuphead, but he also said''awwwwww shucks''

[@Mildparrot6155]

For the Wally warbles fight, you can just hug the left wall to avoid the eggs

[@MrKap]

Not on Expert however. This is true for Regular, but on Expert the shells specifically break so you can't use the back wall as an easy escape from the shells.

[@ballingprops]

For some reason When I tried to S rank Hilda berg it’s always A+ because I have the Perry requirement, and I have the time requirement

[@colinthegamerplayzz]

Can you do a stream doing Cuphead geo mode or master quest? It would most likely more that one stream though?

[@MrKap]

Maybe sometime soon, or something similar

[@CelestialStrawberriesYT]

I actually almost S-ranked Saltbaker on the first time I made it through the 1st phase on expert, I just missed the health requirement by 1. But after that attempt, I haven’t been able to get even close to that point 😅

[@ghostieboo6665]

wally is easier to beat if during the egg phase, you go either above or below the eggs all the way against the left of the screen and the shells wont hit you, as for the bombs easily go above or between them, avoid birds :)

[@incometax1997]

Man this list would be so different if the run was focusing on time rather than survivability, which is how I prefer to play as a guy who has done dozens of S-rank runs. W video

[@MrKap]

I see where you're coming from. The devs changing it so all that matters is you have 3 HP by the end of the fight and you beat the boss in 2 minutes regardless of difficulty is kinda lame tbh. I know it wouldn't change much on every boss, but maybe having the time requirement change per boss would be interesting so it feels like you have to actually try harder to a certain extent 🤔. Also making it so that taking too many hits regardless of current HP bars you from getting an S Rank would be a change to try out.

[@anijay64]

Yeah chef salt baker and that evil Wally warbles are the hardest easily. Chef salt baker has some of the hardest phases ever and it feels impossible to beat Wally in under 2 minutes with all health

[@El_Omar2203]

guys, guys, I think he might want us to check his S-Rank Guides

[@MrKap]

I do! 😋

[@gavinarad2288]

Can confirm that phantom express is easy to S rank, I did it my first try of that boss on expert mode. I wasn’t even trying to go for an S, I was just trying to beat all bosses on expert. Ms. Chalice’s super art 2 is extremely OP.

[@Wolfiyeethegranddukecerberus17]

I'm gonna be honest, if you already have Divine Relic, then NONE of these bosses should be a problem for you. That shi is hard to complete.

[@yeetingat100subs9]

Well u can get the points for the divine relic easily, just start with the easiest bosses first, beating root pack and goopy already upgrades the broken relic and makes it less bad, king dice gives 4 points so then it gets upgraded yet again and at that point it’s no longer terrible and theres several of the easier bosses u could beat to finally upgrade it to divine relic. + u can do all of that in regular mode, doesnt need to be expert

[@CoolCow5628]

i just s ranked all bosses and i have to say, this list is the best list and i agree with basically all bosses placements, i only disagree with eshter, i think she should be below mortmer freeze, and i somehow (dont ask how) beat wally warbles and chef saltbaker in under 10 minutes (each), anyway good list well done👍👍👍

[@bowlsfunstuff951]

9:14 I disagree it being the first boss in the game, i know a lot of people think it is and thats fine, but i think its not. Root Pack is more easy and feels like a beginner boss (for me and even in the art of cuphead book it says that!)

[@mariofire3940]

Dr Karl was very easy for me to S rank, I start with middle, then bottom, then laser, and for the last phase I shrink and shoot when he stops using the gem

[@RadStitch]

I've just picked up the DLC about a week or so and I realized I hadn't S rank any of the flying boss (except for that damn bird, I remember having a hard time on him, maybe he made me gave up on the flying bosses!) I found Hilda very simple as Ms Chalice, her shot that spread kills minions and blue stars easily.
