How to unlock the Porcelain Power achievement in Cuphead - Definitive Guide

You unlock supers in the mausoleums on each island. Mausoleum 1 is accessible pretty early in the game: if you beat the first run-and-gun level you see ("Forest Follies"), a bridge will open to your right, and if you follow the path past the bridge down and through some trees you'll see the mausoleum next to a fishing fish.

Beating the mausoleum is pretty straightforward - just parry every ghost - and you'll have your first super. Equip it (bring up your equip card by pressing Y while wandering the hub world), and use it to beat a boss. You trigger your super with your "Ex Shoot" button (B by default), when you have all five cards collected at the bottom left of your screen. These cards build up slowly as you shoot things, or quickly as you parry pink objects.

The easiest boss is the one in "Botanic Panic". The only real issue here is that the killing blow has to come from your super, and you'll be guessing whether the boss is about to die or not since they have no health bars.

Your mileage may vary, but here's what I did:


EDIT: Reportedly this can be earned on "Simple" difficulty, which was confirmed by TA user HawkeyeBarry20 in the comments. Thanks!

Good luck!

This achievement seems to be glitched for me, I have got the final blow with a max power attack 4 times now and still not unlocking, tried both simple and regular and no luck

"Max power attack" definitely meaning your super? Have you tried varying supers (you can change them in the world map)? I got this using the super you get on island 1. Try that if you're using something else, and if that works let me know so I can update the solution. Sorry you're having trouble.

You get Super Arts by finishing Mausoleums. You know your Super Art is loaded when you gather 5 ability cards and they start rolling. You press to perform it. For this trophy the finishing blow should be a Super Art. It is very likely you get this naturally. If you didn't, pick any boss you find easy and when you think they are about to die, use your Super Art. Bosses don't have an HP bar so knowing the timing is key here. It may take a few tries.

Works on easy difficulty level. Easy to do on the goopi on the first island. If you arm yourself with a homing weapon, in the second phase of the attack, wait for the third time to hit with your fist and hit at about that time

I checked it on the easy difficulty level and the trophy didn’t appear twice. So just guess how it feels to crit one of the first bosses on normal. It worked on carrots the 3rd time.

100% works on the lowest difficulty level.
It's easy to get the "Vegetable Gang" (or "Root Vegetable Gang") from the boss. At the low level there are only 2 vegetables - potatoes and carrots.
(!) At the lowest difficulty level, carrots die on 3 full and half of the 4th card . This is for reference. Accumulate 5 cards, activate the “Body and Spirit” special attack and aim at the carrot. The trophy is yours.

You can add onions to the vegetable base. When you defeat the first boss, just don't shoot. The bulb itself will leave and will not attack
