The King's challenges are better played with Ms.Chalice, cause of her dodge/parry and double jump. You have more control with her and the whole dlc feels like it is based more on her moveset than cuphead/mugman.

[@pinksywedarnoc8017]

Plus Ms. Chalice keeps her 4.HP

[@WhatHuhWhoWhy]

Ye

[@johannliebert2870]

Yeah, it feels like they were made for her lol. Like her jump after parrying really helps with the pawns.

[@peckypork]

Double jump is so good too, it's such a clutch move when you double jump against an incoming attack

[@Slawsers]

I just played as cuphead because I only tried her once and I thought it was a easy mode so I beat the game with cuphead

[@Kirbo710]

id say winchester is harder than glumstone. literally everything on winchesters stage is a hitbox, while the floor on glumstones stage has a slight delay, almost everything with winchester is a homing missile in the first 2 phases, and winchester is a plane level, which imo is harder than ground levels

[@corrin813]

The freaking POSTER is a hitbox

[@asierx7047]

Considering that some of winchester's attacks force you to parry your way out of attacks it definetely is harder

[@BreezyCatUwU]

@@corrin813 Papercuts? Lol

[@lopeshick9607]

Yeah glumstone was the first boss I killed and I had more trouble overall with winchester. Usually the trick with bullet hell type bosses is to forget about the boss on-screen and just hold the shoot button while focusing completely on your character for dodging but winchester constantly changes position so you have to worry about where you’re shooting as well.

[@subnegativex3390]

Winchester was easy for me now the dogfight one had me raging

[@sonicguy1996]

It's always fun to see difficulty tier lists from people and how different someone's experience with the game can be. I found Glumstone among the easiest of bosses, given you can get through phase 1 fairly quickly and there is rarely if ever any need to get off of the stone pilars. Chef Saltbaker was by far the most difficult of the bunch for me. Especially that god forsaken flame that no matter what, when, or where always manages to be in your way at the right time XD This DLC was incredible and so full of charm. Much more difficult than the base game, but fair throughout all bosses and all phases. Not once did I feel they overdid it, seeing each phase unfold while progressively learning, and see insane amounts of creativity for boss design made dying no problem. Because I could experience it all over again. Here's hoping for a Cuphead 2, easily the best indie game in recent years!!!

[@cozmo_Comet]

Omg the flame in salt bakers fight always got me!! It took me a while to get past the second stage bc of it

[@Le_gamer_boi]

Bro that darned flame is literally psychic

[@kirbyleggington7205]

I haven't even really started trying to A+ ranks yet, but I can say for sure I agree on Saltbaker being the hardest. The dogs were a close second.

[@no-no7md]

bruh we had the exact same experience with the dlc

[@DonPasquale_]

Agreed with everything you said except the last part; Outer Wilds is the best indie game in recent years IMO :)

[@7thRxN]

I'm so glad I wasn't the only one who thought Crack Shot was insanely good, it deals respectable damage while also letting you focus a bit more on dodging projectiles (aka a better homing shot). While I do agree with the majority of the ranking here, Chef Saltbaker kinda takes my spot as either #2 or #1 hardest boss: I've had so many unlucky hits with the living flame as well as the flying lime slices, neither of which you could destroy or parry unlike the animal cracker adds. Phase 2 is thankfully a little bit easier since you could easily burst down the pepper shakers and push through that part of the fight way easier than the first phase. Overall, I'm glad the DLC is worth the wait. The game hasn't lost its age at all even though it's been about 5 years. I'm def excited to go back and A/S rank these bosses !

[@johannliebert2870]

Literally everyone is praising Crack Shot. Everyone's sleeping on the Electro Shot

I'm pretty sure that the King's Leap was meant for Ms. Chalice. All of the bosses are much easier with her because of the double jump and dash parry. It makes it to where hitting the bosses ESPECIALLY the knight a lot easier.

[@user-qs1fm7ov9d]

Except knight i believe

[@j4q6_]

Knight is a lot easier with cuphead Or mugman you can parry up to 4 times on the dash move if you’re quick enough most of the times you only parry 3 times tho but still it’s way easier as cuphead Or mugman imo

[@sehtuk3953]

She can do some really cool parry dash combos on the Rook and get a lot of damage in really quickly. It can be done with the boys as well, but not to the extent where you knock like four heads back at him and spend like five seconds in the air.

[@danecagno588]

Well according to wiki the last boss is the hardest

[@theemeraldaxel5824]

@@j4q6_ you can parry once on his really quick upslash, three times on the big up slassh, and 4 times on the dash as chalice, chalice is 100% the way to go on the knight

[@elijahray5194]

Personally, I think Rook is harder than Queen, mainly because of the fact that it's sometimes not safe to parry the heads, making it draw out a little longer. If you're good enough at aiming and dodging, Queen is easy. Just my opinion though. Edit: Thought I'd add this: Rook seems easier with Ms. Chalice. Again, my opinion, but it does seem to be the case.

[@woodledoodle7961]

Absolute facts. Rook took me like 15 or more tries and the queen took me 2.

[@darkshat3077]

Completely disagree. Glumstone is one of the easiest bosses in the DLC. Winchester and Howling Aces are much harder. I’m kinda disturbed how you said the bugs are harder than howling aces

[@HerOwnKnife]

For me howling aces were the easiest boss, i took them out in like 3 tries. But the bugs took almost 20

[@gravitydragon1904]

Howling Aces is the easiest. The only thing that makes them difficult is the gimmick of inverted camera, which you get used to pretty quickly

[@WackMaDino]

I think howling aces final phase was made easy because of the turning screen. So if you find it easy to get used to the screen turn, then its an easy boss. If not, then its tough. personally it never threw me off so i definitely found it to be the easiest.

If you use the crackshot on Glumstone, it is MUCH easier, not as fast maybe but it takes out the smaller Gnomes and let's you dodge without worry, this also works on the final faze and don't destroy parriables in Glumstones level. If I had to say Winchester and Chef Saltbaker are the biggest pain (Winchester though is fun to me though)

[@talonzilla]

I genuinely think that ms. Chalice makes fighting Winchester easier, because her secondary is a volley of mini grenades, and if you can find the perfect spot so that beans don't start to spawn but the sausages can't hit you it makes the last phase so much easier

I feel the knight should be higher just because the hit box seems wayyy too small. I’ve had many times where I get hit because I’m pixels off from the parry hit box. The only way I was able to beat him was to abuse the I-frames from getting hit to get around 3 parry’s each time playing chalice. This gave me around 9 hits immediately and then I had to play patient. Literally my least favorite fight in the DLC. It’s still good but damn is it annoying.

[@jesperwillems_]

I think the reason why The Knight takes 20 hits to be defeated is that using Chalice, you can hit him once after the quick upslash and reliably hit him THREE times on the other two attacks - as well as being able to damage tank once to get two quick hits in. If you’re skilled enough, you can finish him off in 5-7 of his attacks depending on RNG. If he had any less HP the fight would genuinely take 3 seconds

11:20 Dude that made me laugh haha I used Ms. Chalice and crackshot for most of the levels. I still think Chef Saltbaker takes the cake in terms of difficulty, kind of like the Devil from Cuphead 1. Maybe it’s just the buildup before facing the final boss that psyched me out mentally, but the projectiles were insane on that level. Saltbaker doesn’t make as good as a villain as the Devil does, IMO. Something about accepting the Devil’s offer of selling your soul and seeing Cuphead and MugMan turn into demons was terrifying (along with the theme music playing backwards when the game restarts). Also we had to complete 3 Isles of Cuphead bosses before facing the Devil so it felt like forever before actually facing him. I don’t know about anyone else but I struggled with phase 2 of Mortimer Freeze. The snowman moves across the screen in so many directions and the icicles coming up from the ground would happen at the same time a popsicle would float down and hit me. There were so many references to Djimmi the Great in this game - everything from the flying treasure in Howlin’ Aces and the Queens level to the eyeball laser in Mortimer Freeze. Some of it felt a little redundant compared to the last game, but the beautiful animation took my mind off of it. It really is kind of amazing what MDHR has created between these 2 games. It’s a shame we may no longer see another Cuphead release, but hopefully they have some other cool games coming out in the future. (Also the soundtrack was better in the first game IMO, with more memorable boss themes - Mortimer Freeze had the best theme in the DLC)

Regarding the knight, it takes way quicker if you parry every single attack he does

[@0ldpeps112]

Btw, you can parry those ex crackshot attacks, if that makes any of these fights easier.

[@unfinishedzizzy7582]

You can feel his rage while he talks about Glumstone the Giant. (Also ngl the Rook kinda fine)

[@soupknife4677]

I’ve been waiting for this! I loved the first cuphead video, and I love this one too!

[@LordofdeLoquendo]

10:02 “Hurt by Leaf” - It was poisonous? “No. Regular Leaf”

[@torterratortellini6641]

8:54 I wasn’t expecting a Pokémon reference in this video

[@derplockedin]

Just finished stranger things, glad this is up to be somewhat of a palette cleanser

[@telite7263]

that stupid anteater at the end of Moonshine Mob is the devil reincarnate. He makes the bossfight like 90% harder than it already was, which is why I find that level the hardest.

[@Kiko_mirai]

In the words of akihiko sanada "I've been waiting for this"

[@laterferaligatr2947]

Look at you knowing Cryogonal. U surprised me with the Pokémon reference

[@seangambone8534]

Woke up yo this. Yay.

[@Lakefront_Khan]

7:30 I........liked that voice more then I think I should have.

[@gingerbravelover8856]

. Stop

[@MariotheAnimator]

S Ranking every boss made me realize two things: - Heart Ring (Gain HP for Parries) is a GODSEND. - FUCK LIMES!!

[@capsuleclub6623]

Guys ! For the paladin achievement you have to kill any 5 to 10 bosses with the cursed relic equipped at least on regular, please note the King Dice bosses each count as one full boss ! easier that way! Have fun all!

[@theonewhoknocks382]

10:06 Don’t forget about dying to a LAUGH

[@aceofspace5940]

“Like even if you’re a lil’ two-faced son if a gun, wouldn’t you want the nice side of you ti he the one I notice so you can lull me into a false sense of security and prey on my naivety or something? I don’t know I don’t do a lot of social manipulation so i don’t know.”

[@GingerKiller1]

Very nice man. Nice boss ranking. Appreciate the vids. Keep it up

[@ImCarpet]

I don't even play this game, but I love your videos

[@ozmogamer.]

12:35 wow I like how the easiest boss is the hardest *boss*

[@fxkraishot]

bro winchester was so hard for me the only reason i somehow beat it was because a glitch happened where when they had the vacuum and started shooting out these safes, she just stopped shooting safe while still doing the animation , and I just kept shooting them until i beat it

[@CatmanMEOOOOW]

We love the Polk reference at 9:03

[@birdlegscass]

I got my S rank on glumstone using crackshot for first and third phases and twister for second. crackshot will automatically handle the gnomes on the ground for you in first phase and also makes pretty quick work of the last phase since other weapons are hard to hit it with. and twister of course is great for phase 2, no explanation necessary there

[@davidjosh5363]

lol same

[@saucy4817]

TIP FOR GLUMSTONE. Crack shot will home at the little gnomes on the ground and kill then just turn away from him and it will track and kill, makes it much less annoying.

[@DOC_951]

As someone who never had interest in cuphead, this solidifies my stance that this is not the game for me lol

[@polarocelotgaming]

Can confirm you don't have to beat every King's Leap challenge to unlock the secret graveyard boss. Don't even have the queen unlocked yet, and sure haven't beaten the rook yet either

[@johnnyfivehole5957]

If you play the Knight VERY aggressively you can actually hit his parry mane after the uppercut. Just get very good at recognizing which move is coming (he doesn’t make a sword or horse sound for the uppercut) and jump dash into the mane as soon as the sword goes down. I cleared the Knight with zero parry misses last night that way.

[@Campaign2024]

I had zero idea how to fight the Knight. Found it harder than Saltbaker, not even kidding.

[@mafiozy_skeleton]

youtuber:saying that the pawns are the easiest boss in dlc me who died on them 10 times: i love your funny words magic man.

[@codywhite6337]

Loved the video!

[@Szadek23]

I found a way to make phase 3 of Winchester basically free. Fly up and close. There's a spot where nothing is going to hit you and all you need to look out for are the very high up cans, which are pretty easy to avoid. Phase 4 is still a nightmare though. If you try to me smart and stay above the sauages, she starts spawning cans from phase 3 again just to fuck with you.
