On top of actually completing the game, it's never truly considered finished until you've unlocked all the achievements and Cuphead has plenty of those. Of course, it has a number of "progression" achievements whi🃏ch you can get just by playing through𒁏 the game alongside some others that you may get without even realizing it.
The game has over 42 achievements to earn, but there are some that stand out as being the biggest challenges that the game has to offer. With patience and planning, however, it's possible to knock them all out of the park.
10 🌟 Butter-And-Egg Man
The NPC you'll talk to most is Porkrind, a pig with an eye-patch who runs Porkrind's Emporium which serves as the game's shop. You can find him on every island selling a variety of Shots 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:and Charms that can p𒁏rovide you with ꦫmore strategies to try out.
His prices can range from one Coin to five, but this is the only place you can spend them. To get this achievement, you'll need to buy out the shop's stock. While this may sound easy, it's impossible without collecting all the Coins from the Levels, NPCs, the King's Leap, and hidden around the world.
9 ♕ Cooked ꦿTo Perfection
As if just getting through the game wasn't hard enough, Cuphead actually rates you based on your skills. At the end of every fight and level, you'll be taken to a Results screen that scores several key actions. Namely, your completion time, how much HP you have left, how many parries you performed, how many Super Meter cards you charged, and the difficulty level.
In Regular mode, the highest score you can get is an A+ for a perfect run. Still, the game also has an Expert mode where you're challenged to do the same thing in order to get an S-rank. This achievement requires you to get an S-rank on one of The Delicious Last Course DLC bosses, none of whom can be considered easy. The best ones to go for would be Mortimer Freeze or 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Esther Winchester.
8 Perfect Run 🍬
Cuphead is a Soulslike game disguised 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:as a friendly platformer. Though you have plenty of mobility and space to work with, bosses and enemies do a good job of covering the screen with danger. It's very easy to take hits before you even know what hit you. This will happen a lot when facing a boss or level that you've never seen before.
That's why this achievement challenges you to complete a level without taking a single hit (even if you recover lost HP, the hit still voids the run). With a charm like Smoke Dash and the Super Art Invincibility, you'll greatly raise your chances of getting it.
7 Paladin
Cuphead doesn't really have what could be considered side quests, but a significant optional task was provided 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:in the DLC. The shop will be carrying a cheap and useless Charm called the Broken Relic which you can buy for one Coin. The quest revolves around solving the mystery behind this Charm in order to unlock its true power and that's what this achievement is all about.
You need to solv🍸e the graveyard puzzle, and then defeat a secret boss to awaken the Charm. Then you need to fig🎃ht enough bosses while the Charm is equipped (cursing you with one HP) in order to make it useful and get this achievement.
6 A King's Admiration
Another side quest that was introduced in the DLC is 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:the King's Leap. At certain points aro🃏und the island, you can find a rope ladder that you can climb to reach this new area. A chess King w🌺ill greet you and challenge you to defeat his champions.
Here's the catch: You won't have any Shots or Charms to help you, leaving you with only the standard dodge and parry to fight your way through. Make it through all the champions, and you'll get some Coins as well as the chance to take on the Gauntlet. This means you'll need to defeat all the champions one by one, gaining full health between battles, and having to start the whole thing over if you die once. Should you succeed, you'll get this achievement to prove that you did it.
5 Hearty
This is one of the more unusual achievements that the game has to offer. Considering it's phrasing, you would think that there are multiple ways or at least a few opportunities to get it. The truth is that it can only be gotten in one place which is in All Bets Are Off AKA 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:King Dice's boss fight.
You will also need to have either the Divine Relic or Heart Ring equipped, so you can parry to get three extra HP. Then you will need to roll the die to land on all the spots that have heart icons to gain more HP. Lastly, you need to fight through two mini-bosses flawlessly to reach the third heart spot and get the achievement. You can use the Crackshot to generate your own parry points to generate the parry HP whenever you want, but one hit, and you'll have to start over.
4 🍎 ꦓ Bravo Zulu P-26
Games tend to have hidden achievements to avoid giving away spoilers, but Cuphead hides a few for being seemingly illogical and this is one of them. Throughout Cuphead, you'll have to fly a plane against certain bosses which require a different type of gameplay.
You have long range rapid fire bullets and bombs to use for attacking, but the dodge has been replaced by letting you shrink to a smaller size but still lets you fire bullets. This achievement is gained by beating a boss using only mini-plane bullets. Even fighting 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Hilda Berg on Simple mode, this wil🔯l be quite an ordeal for two reasons:♔ First, the mini-bullets are very short range, and second, they do half damage.
3 Pacifist
Another one of the secret achievements is actually hinted at by an NPC named Tully, a turtle sitting on the docks of Isle III. He'll talk about 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:the world being black and white and wonder about a pacifist route. This alludes to a side-quest and this achievement where you'll need to complete every Run n' Gun level without killing any enemies.
This would be literally impossible without the Smoke Dash Charm that lets you dodge through enemies that will frequently block your way. You'll also need the Invincibility Super Art equipped, so you can run through particularly hazardous areas. Don't worry about building it through parries as parry enemies don't count against you. You'll know you've succeeded if the Results screen gives you a P-rank.
2 ꩵ Sheriff/Boss/Ma✨yor/King/Ranger
When you're not going for the S-rank, the highest rank you can get is an A+. Like with traditional letter grades, there are three levels of A that you can get based on your performance. In order to get these honorific title achievements, you'll need to get an A-rank on each boss on each Isle. You can do this through Regular mode, and an A- still counts as getting an A.
The problem is that means 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:you'll only be allowed two mistakes at most and if you go too slowly, that could cou൲nt against you. The Crackshot is a strong weapon to use that can hit a boss from almost anywhere, and the Divine Relic or Heart Ring Charm can let you restore health thಞrough parries to make up any slip ups.
1 🅰 Beat The Devil At His Own Game
While getting all the way to the end and beating 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:the Devil is an accomplishment on its own, you can aim even higher. After you beat a boss on Regular mode, you can challenge them on Expert mode which tends to make them faster, more aggressive, gives them more health, and in some cases will change completely how the stage functions (e.g. Grim Matchstick's scrolling gets reversed).
In order to get this achievement, you'll need to beat all the bosses on the three base islands on Expert mode, then beat both King Dice and the Devil on Expert mode too. Bosses who've been defeated this way will have a flag with a golden cup on it.
