Stand by the doorway and maintain down the triggers

Cuphead is constructed upon the enjoyable of replaying and mastering boss fights, and that additionally goes for the brand new DLC, The Scrumptious Final Course. With that stated, the three mausoleum ranges within the unique recreation — and a secret boss within the DLC — are seemingly arrange as one-time hurdles. Is there any strategy to replay this content material? Seems, sure. With a hidden enter.

With out spoiling something, when you ever wish to replay the DLC’s secret boss (or simply strive the ghost-busting mausoleums once more for the heck of it), right here’s how: stand dealing with the extent entrance on Cuphead‘s overworld and maintain the L+R triggers till it opens again up.

I noticed the tip on Reddit and tried it on PS4 utilizing L1+R1, and positive sufficient, all of it works. Within the case of the key boss, you’ll see a blue mild. For the mausoleums, they’ll nonetheless be destroyed, however a button immediate will seem after you maintain the triggers lengthy sufficient.

It’s unclear if there’s a strategy to replay the key boss or mausoleum ranges in Cuphead utilizing solely a keyboard, however I’ll replace this text if anybody cracks the case.

**Spoilers under**

Right here’s a visible assist when you can’t fairly keep in mind the place you fought the key boss.

The way to unlock the key battle the primary time

When you’re not at that time but however you’re nonetheless studying this text anyway out of curiosity, WELCOME. I’m making an attempt to be imprecise. To succeed in this battle the primary time, you’ll must:

• Purchase the Damaged Relic from Porkrind’s store for one coin, then equip it.
• Start the graveyard puzzle by listening to the three rivals on the high of the map; they’ll share clues like “down,” “proper,” or “downright.”
• Full the puzzle by interacting with three headstones within the appropriate order based mostly on the (randomized) clues the NPCs share.
• When you did it proper, you’ll see a glowing blue mild — that’s the secret boss entrance.

There’s no different battle like this in Cuphead, and I’m positive gamers will wish to revisit it. The primary time via, I used to be simply glad to make it out alive; every part was a blur.

As for replaying the mausoleums, perhaps you wish to follow your parries? Or perhaps you simply wish to expertise them once more with out doing a brand new save file. Choices are good!

After a protracted weekend with the sport, you might need burned via every part. That’s the place I’m at after lastly, lastly getting via the splendidly overwhelming last bout, which felt like an ideal be aware to finish on. Cuphead: The Scrumptious Final Course will go down as certainly one of my favourite gaming experiences of 2022, simply. Prime-shelf co-op reminiscences.
