How to unlock the King achievement in Cuphead - Definitive Guide

Hello guys !

Here's my videos for the 2 bosses in Inkwell Hell with an A rank or better.You can get a A, A- or A+ rank for this achievement.

To obtain a A+ rank you'll need to:

- Beat the Boss under 2 minutes
- Have 3 HP left at the end of the battle
- Do 3 parries
- Use 6 points of your Super Meter gauge by using Super Arts and/or Extra Special Moves (but apart the invulnerability,you must hit the boss or enemy.If not,it won't count)
- Play on Regular difficulty at least

So you can made 2 mistakes max for an A- rank (by example: made only 1/3 parry or loose 2 HP).
Also,use the Smoke Dash charm.It's really amazing.By far the best charm in Cuphead ! :D

Here's the videos ! :D

King Dice:


The Devil:


Also,Yin has an awesome,but maybe harder way,to obtain a A rank for the Davil battle.Check his solution in the comments below,it deserve some views !

Happy hunting guys ! Have fun and don't give up !
Don't hesitate to put a like and comment below if you want.I hope that my guide can help you ^^

How did you only get a minute in king dice? It takes much longer for me to do all bosses.

Wow,nice trick ! :O

But it's maybe harder to use for most players.For the time and parries it should be too short

I'd contest that it may be easier than getting an A through traditional means. The recorded run was on Expert difficulty, where the Devil has even more health.

If a player is completing the first phase without taking damage anyways, it only takes one parry to accomplish an adequate A rating for the achievement. I don't believe the time requirement is set to a hard two minute limit either. In my clip, the result screen displays the time in yellow akin to the other "perfect" score elements.

Edit:
Ran the fight again on regular difficulty and managed a 1:31 with two parries. Solid A rating with no damage taken. Recorded a clip of that in action too.

I think it's 2 minutes on Regular and 2:30 or 3 minutes for Expert mode,but not 100% sure.

I'll mention you in my guide as an alternative for the last boss ^^

King Dice is so annoying to parry his cards. I've completed everything on regular with A ranks and only have 3 bosses left on expert. But parrying the cards is failing. Je ne comprende pas Clad! >_<. This is embarassing because I've took so long on this when I found games like Sine Mora easier lol.

You can try to spam the A button.Or try to press the button a little before touching the card.The timing can be tricky to learn,but you can do it after a few tries.Don't give up,i believe in you ;-)

Guys, how can I get an A with two players on King Dice? I've got everything so good (3/3 3/3 6/6) beside the time (8:09) and the result was B+ someone know what's the limit of the time and why I didn't take an A-? On the other boss were enough for getting an A.

I'm not sure the exploit for the devil mentioned above is still working. I couldn't get it to work.

There's also an exploit I accidentally found for King Dice.

If you use your super as King Dice uses his card attack, the next time he uses his card attack he will freeze during the animation and be stuck. No cards will appear and you can just blitz his health down until he dies.

There's an exploit that you can use to beat the Devil after completing the first phase. Bring the charge weapon with you and complete the first section of the battle, but do not drop into the hole to begin the next phase. Instead, stand directly to the left of the hole and shoot charged weapon shots straight upwards.

It takes a bit of finesse to get it to hit, but you can use the flashing of leftover suit (?) on the throne or the generation of your super as an indication that you are doing damage. Simply continue shooting upwards and you can completely skip the other phases.

That said, you won't really have any other opportunities to parry; so you'll need to either complete the first phase without much damage or at least pick up a couple of parries.

Clippy clip:

Here are my boss battle videos from all bosses on Inkwell Hell. There are 2 bosses on this Isle. All Boss fights are on Regular Difficulty and with an A+ Rank.

For the achievement is any A-Rank required. (A, A- or A+)

King Dice in All Bets are Off!

In order to get at least A- rank on every boss, you have to get 3/3 parries and 6/6 super meter (use 6 ability cards). You can get hit 2 times, meaning you can finish the level with 1 HP. If you do that and finish with a decent time, you will get at least A-. Do that on all bosses in each island and you should get all correspondent trophies.

There is no hellish “regime”, thank the translators. We get ratings higher than B+ at the Inkwell Hell location and it’s done.

Kill the devil (last level) on normal difficulty with a grade of at least A- . It is necessary for a golden flag to appear next to his location.
