Cuphead DLC - Chef Saltbaker Regular vs Expert - Difficulty Comparison - Peashooter Only

It’s amazing how on regular, Saltbaker is challenging, but not as challenging as some of the other dlc or even main game isle 3 bosses (I’m looking at you Dr. Kahl’s robot). But on expert? He’s easily one of the hardest bosses in the whole game from his first phase alone. There’s just so many projectiles on the screen coming at you with him prepping them up at lightning speed in the background.

You’re all moderately correct. But the hardest level/boss you cannot deny. junkyard jive I hate it so much. Even on the regular that boss still makes me want to smash my controller into bits. The only reason I cannot S rank every single boss in the main game. Is because of that one Robo annoyance Edit: The mouse was kind of moderate difficulty I died a few times but that was because of the first phase I don’t know which attack it was. But I died on that. Also the mermaid was hard. Not extremely hard but it was still hard. And regarding the bird. That was pretty easy. A One death because of that one attack where his feathers go everywhere. I will just rank them by difficulty here now: Doctor name I forgot the name of robot:12/10 The mouse that I forgot the name of:4/10 The mermaid that I forgot the name of:7/10 Warbles:2/10 (I threw it in the German mouse because I was stupid and figured one of you Mentioned him lol.

I Remember a weird glitch with this boss, because when I went back to the map after dieing to him a couple of time when I first fought him. When I went back to fight him again the game bugged out and gave me the expert version instead of the regular version and I didn’t relies it for a while, but I’m sorta proud of myself cause I was able to get to the second phase, but couldn’t get farther than that.

[@averagelightningenjoyer285]

The Saltbaker battle is unique, as it actually shows you what his next move will be before he even does his next move. For example, before the sugar cubes come in, he turns the big sugar cube into little ones, and blows them off-screen for them to eventually come back as obstacles. Another example, when the pineapple mint leaves (I thought they were basil leaves, thanks for the corrections) are about to fall in phase 2, he throws the leaves into the air first. EDIT: I also think it’s a nice design that how this game also has a tutorial, which helps players get used to the game and know how to play instead of having to learn yourself. (this comment is a joke)
