A small note about the lower thirds: We've recently upgraded our video editing software and it completely ruined them when transferring over. So after this ranked video, we're gonna make another custom lower third that's more similar to the older one, but we'd like to spice it up a little bit anyway. Hope you enjoy the video!
Very cool
awesome
What are you guys using now?
Btw Sal Spudder spits out balls of soil not meatballs
Yeah we enjoyed the video! It was epic!
One little detail I love about The Rook is that because he's an executioner, that's why he'd be firing heads at you. But that's not all. Notice that when he fires a pink head, it looks kinda shocked, maybe a little scared. But when you parry it, it gains a nasty grin. It's like it's ready to get revenge on The Rook.
Ok that detail is neat. Too bad it's unnoticeable when you when you aren't aware of it.
@@cutestcreeper569 There's a lot of details in this game that you have to really look for. I'll give you another one. During Esther's first phase, she fires oil. If you look, the bottles say "Snake Oil." Turns out that's literal! The oil turns into snakes!
@@cutestcreeper569 it is i noticed it first time
He was one of my favorites Bc with mrs chalice you can parry and jump and dash to the next head and do the same thing. You can basically stay in the air without touching the floor the entire time
I thought that I was the only one who noticed that!
Imma be real with you fam, half of your troubles with the harder bosses of the list could have been made easier by switching weapons.
I know, right. The guy is just using the Peashooter and the Chaser most of the time, which isn't bad, but it lacks damage. I like a lot more the combination of Roundabout and Spread myself. Charge and Lobber are really usefull against the dragon and Crackshot is pretty much Chaser but better.
@@leandrolhez5142 The charge shot makes Grim and Brineybeard cakewalks.
@@leandrolhez5142 Thank you, It was so frustrating when he was using one of the most average weapons (minus the dlc weapons)
Bruh he used the roundabout so terribly
They should have used spread instead of using a weapon which is not suited for close rnage which is what happens a lot in the video
I have so many questions. 1: Why is Mangosteen so high? 2: Why is Brineybeard THIRD? 3: WHY ARE THE EASY BOSSES SO HIGH UP!?!? 4(not a question): Use different weapons than just peashooter or chaser
he uses roundabout
@orange33340 because hes a bad player
ikr mangosteen is like the easiest boss
Yap yap
5: Aint you Nathaniel B?
Honestly some of the harder bosses you face could have been easily defeated if you used different weapons like the spread shot or the lobber
The Contra Spreader is severely nerfed. The range is very poor. You have to be really close to damage them
FACTS!!
But many bosses are easy to get up close, for the insane damage,@@toddlindsay8846
Easy or hard, almost every boss in this game is so much fun to fight and the soundtrack just makes said fights all the more better.
Aye.
Almost?
Wrong. Dr. Kahls music is the only thing that redeems it. Haha. Actually tho I agree completely
Minus rumor honeybottoms. Screw her.
@@braydoncrew9657 the best song ive heard is the cuphead rap. and then the bendy songs
Weird how different our experience in difficulty is. I had a hellish time with the bee and the mermaid but beat the pirate on my second try.
I'm the same way. (Minus the mermaid, she's kinda easy. I'm good with plane levels.) Also crack shot makes the bee a breeze
Dude, I beat him on my second try too
I first tried the mermaids second and third phase, but died a ton of times on the first.
Yeah I only finished the first two areas but I found the Dragon to be not that bad but the Clown to be absolutely brutal.
@@MadMaxxed1224 Crackshot makes many of the bosses a breeze. That weapon is so stupidly good.
Putting mangosteen above any other boss is a crime
I know
In my opinion, he is the second easiest king dice miniboss with chips being the easiest
I know right sorry to say but he is just a noob
Hes actually ass its a crime to put mangosteen
I know, in my opinion he is the easiest boss in all of cuphead. And then he put werner at 8. That hurt my brain
The reason the carrot grows another eye when you fight him. It’s because it is known that eating carrots help your eyes. Though not being true (most likely), it’s still cool how they implemented this with the boss.
This is actually just a myth
@@timonobel615 I said it wasn’t true in the comment.
@@MrHexinTheDapperImp sorry I missed that part
@@timonobel615 It’s ok
@@timonobel615Why would it be a myth ? Vitamins A are contained in carrots...
I love that everyone has different experiences with each boss. For me, Briney Beard, Grim Matchstick, and Wally were some of the easiest bosses. But for him they were all in his top 4. And for me, Cala Maria and baroness were some of the hardest.
Ikr!! I thought Briney Beard and Wally were piss easy (only exception being how annoying the second phase is for Wally, but once you pass that it's a straight line to the finish) I definitely disagree with a lot of the list but that's what makes it interesting
For me the annoying baker is number 2 for me and number 1 is still dr Kall because I spent 2 days trying to beat them.
Yeah Cala Maria is hardest for me as well
Wally?
Oh NVM Wally is just so forgettable that I didn't realise
Wow, I can't believe how different us players can experience this game. I had a totally different experience with these bosses. Good video non the less, its always fascinating to hear other peoples opinions about stuff like this :)
agreed, but wouldn't be surprised if dr. kahl's robot was hard for everyone across every timeline, that boss was hell to beat
@@coldmiso.5781 Not really? 90% of "bullet hell" sequences in virtually any game are less about focusing what's coming *next* and more so focusing on what's about to hit you *now* I will admit it is intimidating upon first glance, but once you keep in mind to focus on yourself instead of the boss, it gets way easier. That sounds dumb, but it works for me.
@@OverZeelous yea it took me a few hours but tbh it wasn't horrible, just needed time to formulate a strategy
Yeah, I would put both the cowgirl and king dice in top 10
@@Nae_ex cowgirl is my #1 and it didn't make top 10 somehow
Nathaniel: Grim is so hard! Lobber: Yknow I exist right?
IKR LOBBER MAKES IT SO MUCH EASIER BRUHHHHHHH I CAN'T BELIVE I DIDN'T REALISE THAT SOONER!!!!
The fact that you put mangosteen at the top of the most difficult bosses in the king dice fight is a insult to humanity
Didn’t expect to see Phantom Express or Captain Brinerybeard so high up. They were some of the easier bosses I fought. It’s nice to see everyone in the comments talk about their hardest and easiest encounters.
well phantom express was one of the more annoying for me at least :D
Briney Beard sucked so much for me, took me two days of straight practice to beat him :’)
On my first Cuphead run, I almost one-shot Phantom Express. Got him to about 98% on my first try. He didn’t give me much trouble. But that robot…
i think brinebeard is one of the easiest too. his last stage you barely have to move
@@Diamonddog10.3 lucky you. I am kinda sure that I needed a lot for the most bosses anyway… 1-2 hours mostly While the easiest being the frogs and the hardest probably the genie? :D
I think the carrot is a hypnotist due to carrots being good for your eyesight. Also Pip and Dot are dominos, not dice.
Also, the sausage cans are actually bean cans.

Ok👍
@@gio_ozzeveryone calls them meatballs jokingly hope he did too
In my opinion, Cala Maria is the hardest boss if you are going for the s rank because the last phase is very rng based, for example if you get frozen in front of the spikes that attempt is gone.
True but generally, Dr. Kahl's robot and Rumor are likely generally harder, or maybe i just find Maria easy
I see people say this all the time and I just don't agree. It isn't as RNG based as a lot of people say, you just gotta position yourself around the spikes preemptively and get good at mashing.
i feel like people don't realise that you can dodge the wave in the last phase
personally i'd say phantom express is the hardest to A+ rank, that time restriction is tough!
Bruh every Cuphead boss relies on rng tbf and Cala Maria isnt even that bad, you just gotta position yourself well and be clever with the usage of your ultimate
It’s crazy seeing how everyone had different experiences with these bosses. By far I thought the robot, mermaid, king dice, and the dragon were the hardest ones
Saaaame, once I managed to beat the mermaid and robot, I felt like I would never want to beat an air stage again!
Robot is the easiest boss in the game ngl 🥶
@@HenriqueMuit Nah that the dragon I beat him 3rd try not even joking
@@AonMERGS Yeah he's pretty easy too, i don't know why people say he's one of the hardest
Same but mermaid was easy for me
Tips for grim: use lobber for the first 2 phases. And use charge for the last phase( i know it's sounds weird but with charge atleast you can control when to shoot)
I like to also use charge for 2nd, I think it goes faster.
I did that on my first playthrough, maybe thats why I didn't find him that hard
I find lobber easier for last phase
I did it with peashooter on the first phase (not charge because I didn't want to pay attention to that too) and lobber on the second and last. And I needed all three lives for the last phase, it's inevitable that you get hit there unless you're super good.
Alternate Title: ranking bosses in difficulty but I cant play anything that isnt a mario game
A little bit inside of me dies every time he looks straight at the boss with the roundabout shot
I legit came to this comment section just to see if someone else noticed that
In my opinion, a ton of these bosses have been bumped down in my books due to the brand new weapons, charms, and Ms. Chalice. For example, Grim Matchstick used to be a pain to fight because of the way he attacks, but with Ms. Chalice and Crackshot, he is a breeze to play. Also, the ranking of Cala Maria, Mortimer Freeze, and Saltbaker are criminal. Werner Werman harder than the Devil??? 💀💀💀
Yeah most of his rankings are wayy weird
I won against Warner only with 2nd try, Cala Maria, Robot and Devil took a plenty of time. Also, Grim Matchstick isn't that hard, if you use Globber in 1st faze and Chaser/Firecracker in 2nd and 3rd. Also, Pirate is very easy.
Mortimer was easy imo, but Cala Maria was the hardest boss for me honestly.
Bcz he actually has his own opinion and dosen't listen what other people say and actually make it accuarate also devil is easy what are u talking about? Wermer werman is harder definetly then devil. Devil honestly dosen't deserve to be a last boss ngl
If I ever did a ranking like this I'd factor in just Cuphead and Mugman and not Ms. Chalice. That might be what Nate did.
I've never dissagreed so much with a boss rank ever
"Next, Esther vacuums up a bunch of money into a machine, and releases them in big safes that explode more money! If you get through that, Esther accidentally turns himself into a sausage that shoots meat at you, with random cans of sausage floating around" These sentences right here are both hilarious, and is a perfect summary of what to tell someone, who hasn't played Cuphead, when they question you what Cuphead bosses are like.
It’s much easier to beat the dragon using the charge shot, especially on his last phase, damaging the dragon while firing the least amount of shots possible helps a lot when the fireballs he shoots split into 4 when shot.
I found the lobber to be the most effective weapon in the third phase.
True I don't know why he is using chaser
That “thing” gave me hell.
@@smashbrosguyt915 normal or expert?
@@arturliviu *simple* (normal)
it's so fascinating to see how different other players are. What one person considers hard af, other might think it's the easiest thing ever. Great vid, def have different opinions of the rankings but loved seeing what peeved you
Yeah for me, Sally is the 5th easiest boss the only hard part is the Parasol at the end
As long as we all agree the Root Pack is the hardest, then we are good.
Nathaniel says that captain dreadbeard is extremely hard and for me he is one of the easiest
I swear to god Dr Kahl is harder than the devil
What I love about this game is that everyone has a different boss ranking, for me devil, the king dice section and saltbaker are definitely the top 3 hardest with rumor as a follow up
This tier list is crime to humanity
Mangosteen is the easiest.
Wo
Yes.
Hello checkmark
Yas queen
Correct
Mortimer Freeze should be way, WAY higher. No way he is easier than the flower, and all the other bosses. I thought he was one of the harder ones in the dlc
Agreed.
Facts
imo he was the easiest boss in the dlc, or even in the game if you will. beat him in two tries
Yep. Even simple mode he’s he toughest
Totally agree, the third phase is hell
why? this is completely wrong, how do you even think about saying that the howling aces are harder than the chef saltbaker
There are also two other candy bosses - the waffle who flies around the screen and blows himself up hitting his square waffle thingies at you, and the STUPID LITTLE CUPCAKE
There are a lot of points that I disagree with. There is no way Werner Werman is more difficult than Chef Salt or the Devil. But Kahls Robot and Grim are hard af.
For me Werner Werman is way too high. Easiest Boss for me on Island 3 also the dog fight boss fight ist higher than Chef salt baker. Easiest Boss on the DLC Island for me. The invert controls are maybe the worst phase but the other 2 phases ez pz. But everybody has another opinion and I respect that
Grimes easy in my opinion I beat him in 3 tries
yh i was wndering why the root pack wasnt lower and also all the mini bosses are part of king dice, he's one boss after all.
Also apparently to him sally is harder than cala maria lmao
Also Mangosteen is way too high
I honestly thought that Chef SaltBaker was number 1 for me. I think he is one of those “Pay attention to 50 million things at once” bosses and by far, took me the most time to beat than any other boss in the entire game.
I think the difference is all about patterns. Even if there’s a lot of projectiles, what seems to be the most hardest, especially for pro-players who play the game a lot, is random patterns. Not being able to rely on muscle memory, but instead either pure luck or quick reflexes whilst also having to dodge other projectiles is what makes bosses hard.
phase one of saltbaker is the only problem of it. phase two is pretty difficult, but paled in comparison to phase one. phase three is hardly a phase, and phase four isn’t all too difficult. once you’ve got past phase two the fight’s a breeze. but still, having to dodge boomerang limes, a fireball, and strawberries raining down from the sky took me so long to master. but not as long as it took me to master dr. kahl. that took me a long time
@@PhysicallyAwake Djimmi is a great example. It's entirely random what attack he'll use in Phase 1.
How
@@Contemplatingspider Because I suck at video games.
I love how he said pirouetta was the easiest when most people don’t even know they need the smokescreen while attacking
Nah he said Pirowyouletta not Pirouletta
I have never once seen someone unironically call Mangosteen hard
Note: the shards in Chef Saltbaker’s last phase is actually glass shards from when he broke apart in phase two
The fact people still haven't realized that. Where would he have even gotten ice from at that exact time?
i think it s salt
@@luissilva7455 it's the glass shards
Yeah
i also believe the "ice" is actually the salt from inside saltbaker
Maybe you struggled on some bosses because you used the weakest weapon with an accessory that lowers your attack damage? Just a thought.
That and some ppl just aren't particularly that good at video games lol
True this guy is a noob
nice passive aggressiveness there
Exactly lmao. He used homing on the sunflower… like come on guy
Yeah chaser and peashooter isn't exactly a deadly combo
Nice joke! Almost every ranking has me dying on the floor!💀😭😂
I have some serious problems with this list: Ribby and Croaks, and Sally Stageplay are placed harder than Mortimer Freeze, Baroness von bon bon and Cala Maria which is an absolutely absurd take. AND Captain Brinerybeard is placed THIRD, supposedly harder than Chef Saltbaker, The Devil, Rumour Honeybottoms, Esther Winchester, and probably some others. Honestly, I cannot fathom the opinion that Captain Brinerybeard is the Third hardest boss in the game, it's insane to me.
Cuphead is a hard, but also a great game! Highly recommend it to everyone!
Agreed! It’s one of best and funnest game that we’ve played along with the dlc on our switch!
except to people who have anger issues
i heard floral fury from ssbu and now i know i need it
It was very fun I beat the whole game on normal took me a very long time 15 dollars worth
Yeah it should be two players on Cuphead on Boss Fights taking on one player is a challenge getting hit every single time for a A+ rank.
I completely disagree with your list, but its cool seeing what people consider more or less challenging, me personally, I can't stand the DLC bosses, maybe Mortimer Freeze is kinda easy, but every other boss is close to or in my top 10 hardest, with Chef Saltbaker probably being the hardest for me if not 2nd to Dr Kahl.
Normal, unlike Nathaniel it's maybe because you're not using the New character which OP.
3:36 excuse me did he say *M E A T B A L L S* ?
I also called them meatballs when I started
I think it's cool how creative these boss fights are.
I’m baffled by the rating you gave brinybeard and werman I often finds those bosses as easy as Sally I have to question did you try spread? you’re so close to bosses that it will hit and make short work of them. Also I think you just got lucky Cala Maria
Cala Maria in my opinion is easy but wernan and brinybeard are very easy
I think the main reason so many people fail with Cala Maria is because most people don't know she only takes damage at her head
@@shirogwyn5952 I'm pretty sure most people fail at Cala Maria because she can freeze you and force u to hit spiked walls while also trying to shoot her
No way he said Mangosteen "The 8 ball" is the hardest of the minibosses...
Exactly
@@Mirandawss its far from the easiest, but definitely not the hardest
Phear Lap is the hardest
Mangosteen is the EASIEST of all foes, no question.
@@omegamecha7666it IS the easiest,
Honestly, one thing that i learned going back to this game for the 3rd time after never completing it is that damage is key. I've been steamrolling thru the game this time because of this realization, and tbh the lobber is probably the best weapon in the game, same with the lobbing bombs when flying, it helped me a lot switching to those at the right time on dr kahls robot, and on a lot of them you just have to figure out how to get up close and do damge and its either gonna be the lobber, shotgun, or boomerang that do the trick.
Nathanial B?
I'll disagree and respect with some of these rankings, but did he forget about the plane's drop bomb alt-fire? I feel that it could have made Wally and Kahl's Robot much more tolerable for him.
Was going to point out the same thing haha I didn't see any footage of it. Funny how I didn't know about all these secret phases but at least I knew about the alt-file ;)
@@PurpleLink11he also didn't use anything other than Chaser, Boomerang, and Peashooter, like bro missed out on Charge, Lobber, and Spread shot,
I thought the Chef was much harder than the Devil. Honestly, the hardest part about it is getting through the first two phases with enough health to allow mistakes while parrying in the last stage. I spent 3 hours straight on it. Probably the longest I spent on any DLC boss.
You are so freaking lucky if you've only spent 3 hours on a dlc boss Looking at you, secret agent 3 from splatoon 2
U done him on expert as I man who has completely finished this game he was by far the hardest
I think that the devil and the chef are the same level of difficulty
3 hours!! Hes hard but not that hard. It took me like 30 minutes
@@sircumsized2537 you did not
The Phantom Express running like a horse makes sense because early steam locomotives were called “iron horses”. This is similar to early cars were called horseless carriages.
A thing for Goopy Le Grande, during his second phase, its based how far you are. if your far from him hes gonna jump high and if your close hes gonna jump low
Nah, it is rng,
This really shows how different an experience can be on a player by player basis because the Captain fight was one of the few I've managed to get perfect just by using the charge shot
13:54 the falling "ice" is broken shards of saltbaker's body. also, wally warbles' final phase is much, much easier with the grenades. You know those exist, right?
This, as well as not using roundabout on the dragon fight seemed to make some of his fights a lot harder than my personal experience.
@@bjz3 I don't think you should use round about on the dragon. Charge shot plus lobber makes it easier. (In the final phase if you hit his shots it make it a bullet hell

The only boss I had a true struggle with was Dr. Kahl’s Robot, which took me more than a day and countless attempts to beat, whereas the other bosses took no more than an hour or two. Also I think Mangosteen is the easiest boss in the whole game, but everyone’s opinions vary.
For me too, never took a hit from Mangosteen everything is so predictable there
For me dr kahl took like 4 or 5 tries lol

No his ranks just weird Ive used chaser for everything its alot different in ranks with chaser in my opinion
@@gospel3063 you might just be blessed by RNGesus
I think that I only used the chaser once throughout the whole game
Ngl, I think the chaser is the best shot in the game
MrKap wasn't lying when he said that this video is hot garbage. First of all, he only uses the peashooter, chaser, and roundabout. Second, I was shocked when he placed Werner Werman so high. Third, use the goshdarn Crackshot!!!
You inspired me to make my own ranking video! I love how it turned out
I personally think Dr Khal is harder than Grim. Grim is easier when using the Lober shot while Dr Khal is just ridiculous. Then again, Grim was fine for me and I got so frustrated with Khal, I snapped a pencil in 4, so it may be a bit biased
I agree with you Man, I literally spent days on Dr Khal because of his stupid final Phase, he Just has way too much health at the end and Its so easy to screw up. And I was one of those unlucky bastards that had to play that battle when they didnt Nerf It by adding shards that could be parried, so you literally had to Dodge EVERYTHING he throwed at you. Khal IS one of those bosses that I have no freaking clue How I managed to beat It on expert back in 2017, and I dont think I'm mentally insane enough to try to get a S rank with him.
Agreed
That dragon is literally the robot's PET! The isle 2 guard dog
I agree. For me, with lobber, grim matchstick is the easiest boss on inkwell isle 2, next to Baroness von bon bon. I don’t think it deserves number 1 at all…
i beat grim 2nd try 😂 but khal is act hard
Now having learned about zodiacs, that helps big time when fighting Hilda Berg. Bull is Taurus, while the twins are Gemini. Although, the difficult part is having to learn how the zodiac stars look.
There also is an archer which is Sagittarius, which he doesn't mention,
I actually found the dragon real easy didn’t know he was considered hard. I used lober and just stayed on top and it was easy lol
I thought Grim Matchstick was actually easier on expert since during the final phase you're moving towards him rather than away. It makes shooting him and avoiding the fireballs a lot easier.
Honestly the most difficult part about expert is getting three parries on the first phase
Did you even know that expert is harder than regular
Very true
@@caseklotz2300 you dont wanna know how many times i had to reset cause i missed 1 parry
@@billthedoritoguy4770 But if I want to know :(
Mangosteen has no deal to be this high, he’s literally the easiest mini-boss from King Dice boss fight. You don’t even have to do any jumps or acrobatics to avoid his attacks, it’s even less demanding than Piroluetta, not mentioning literally every other boss before him.
True
yeah he's absolutely pathetic
You don’t even need smoke dash. He’s the second easiest. It depends if u have the smoke dash then the second easiest If no smoke dash the easiest.
You just need to move slightly to avoid the orb and thats the only hard part which is not hard at all

At least for me Mangosteen is the easiest fight in the game. Legitimately, I don't think I've ever taken damage while fighting Mangosteen so seeing their fight so high was baffling to me.
Same, for me it is the easiest boss fight in the entire game. I was really surprised seeing him that high and hearing that he is the HARDEST one out of the mini bosses. Well, everybody has its own perception of the difficulty. 😊
I wonder if people don’t recognize the pattern with the pool cube things? They always arrive in the same way
@@jamesscalise4990 I think it’s is failure to realise that one of the chalks only falls on the sides of the arena, meaning if you stay in the middle you only have to dodge one piece of chalk which you can simply walk under. So anyone who fought it more than once knows how easy it is, but maybe if you stumble upon it once and don’t learn the pattern you might think it’s hard
I have no idea what he was thinking putting him that high
@@time2bcoolYT he probably didnt fight him enough to learn his simplistic Pattern and throught he was way too hard because of that. What's funny for me IS that I didnt play cuphead for 2 years and went back to the King dice fight to unlock the 9 HP points archievement and got him as the miniboss, and I simply beat him not taking a single hit and not even trying that hard. He placing It so high on the list makes me think he's doing It as a meme, Its such a pathetic optional Boss.
I like how Nathaniel came to Cuphead to rank bosses
The tone changebfrom begginging to the end was wild
Charge shot makes the boat mf 10 times easier, and lobber makes grim matchstick easier as well. Dr. Kahl is handsdown the hardest boss in the game because theres no little things you can do to make him easier.
Totally agree on that lol
Dr. Kahl is literally one of the easiest bosses to S rank. If you want tips I can try to help though
@@McMango05 what are some tips? Especially the third phase I can manage not getting hit until that phase
@@demo8580 here’s a tip from me. Also I’m the the guy you commented to. The third phase is actually easy just the amount of things on the screen stress you out. So try not to get stressed out and just try to stay calm and focus on cuphead
@@gamercentral2417 thanks man Really appreciate it
I was very surprised to see mangosteen so high. I found the fight pretty easy as you simply camp in the middle and occasionally dodge the obstacles
The reason why the carrot is a hypnotist is because carrots are good for eyesight
8:43 *do you know how many keyboards broke when I battled these motherfukers*
I’d say most of the difficulty of this game comes from having to pay attention to a million things on the screen. It’s not hard to do this, it’s not hard to dodge that, it’s not hard to run around or damage the boss… but when you have to do it all at once, it becomes a nightmare. However, I think we can all agree that the game’s difficulty is part of what makes it so fun and awesome.
Man put Werner Werman and Captain Brineybeard above the Devil and Chef Saltbaker in terms of difficulty. Bruh...
@@ryanmorgan5507 Captain Brineybeard is just pure hell I thought I'll never pass this goddamn level
Grim Matchstick will forever torment my dreams
@@ryanmorgan5507 good gosh
My best guess for the carrot boss is that his brand of hypnotism is themed around eyes, with his third eye and all that, and carrots are commonly said to improve your eyesight.
The carrot is a hypnotist because the fact that they say carrot makes you see better with you’re eyes Thats why it spawns third eye
After many rewatches I figure out that the reason why he uses peashooter and not round about ( the better peashooter) is because he doesn’t know how to use it there are multiple occasions where he’s just Issing round about like a peashooter and not as round about.
I feel like our experiences playing the game were wildly different. Werner Werman and Sally Stageplay were the 2 easiest bosses for me in Isle 3.
Same here
I made my own tierlist and put werman as 23 out of 26
Easiest for me on isle 3 so far were the pirate and the mouse. I beat the mouse in like 5 tries.
ok
Same
I found Brineybeard and Werner Werman to be complete jokes but Cala Maria was a total nightmare for me. Crazy how different experiences can be. For Grim, use Lobber. Makes phase 2 & 3 waaaay easier. Oh and if you hate Wally, don't fight him on Expert :^)
for wall on expert mode it completely ruined my strat from normal to always stay at the back, the first time i played expert i was in for a shock
I had a nightmare s ranking all bosses; working on dlc atm, but omg Wally is a nightmare to S rank
yea cala is the hardest cupface boss in my opinion
Cala was the easiest for me
I agree about Werner, but Brineybears was sadistic.
Thanks for the cameo
The carrot is probably a psychic as a “carrots are good for your eyes” joke, so he awakened his “third eye”
I definitely think magosteen should have been lower he was so easy at least when I played the game I just stayed under him shooting up and just slightly moving left and right to doge if needed and dash for the orbs
Yes, I have never once taken damage on that one, while I just couldn't hit the parries on King Dice's cards.
Definitely the easiest mini boss
Agreed Magnosteen is pretty easy
yes man idk for me most dificulty is mr chismes
Pip and dot is definitely the easiest mini boss
Im so suprised that the most easy bosses are at the top 10, and the hard ones at the middle. Just a tip nathaniel, there is a second attack that you can use in plane levels so please talk to the person in world 2 to unlock it because wally warbles is easy as hell with the dropping bombs. (edit): another tip, dont use chaser and use some better bullet types like lobber and spread, etc. chaser does no damage at all.
Wally warbles isn’t a plane fight though
But it is very easy with crack shot
@@ITickledYourButt6786 uhh, yes it is?
@@__archermaster__8790 i get warner warman and wally warbles mixed up a lot
I beat the game all with A ranks and I don’t think the chaser is bad, it allows continuous damage on moving bosses while being able to completely forget about aiming so you can focus on tight platforming
19:57 this is the part I disagree with
me in his review on Beppi! "you need to keep shooting these ducks or you'll get smeckoldorfed" That's not even a word and I agree with you!
11:42 "The scariest triangles you'll ever see" Bill cipher: hold my beer
I think the reason you had such difficulty is because of your equip card. In my opinion the best thing to have is lobber for the second phase and roundabout for the first and third phase. If it’s an easy boss then you don’t have to bother with the equip card but with the dragon it’s pretty much necessary.
Bro for what boss
@@ohyeahjuice dragon i think
@@veronicavitucis944 Oh wait i didnt read all of it he actually said the dragon
Something that happened to me once was that while I was fighting Esther Winchester, there was a glitch in my game were the attacks just weren’t coming at me so I was able to beat the boss. If it wasn’t for that glitch I would still be playing Cuphead to this day.
Some mistakes I feel obligated to point out: Pirouletta’s name is pronounced “peer-roo-let-uh” as it’s a portmanteau of “pirouette” and “roulette”. Pip & Dot are not a die, but a domino. You forgot to talk about Bon Bon’s other candy minions: The cupcake who bounces all over the place, and the waffle who launches 4 of their squares in a + and x pattern. In Sally Stageplay’s final phase, you’re not fighting her afterlife; you’re fighting the real Sally who’s dressed as an angel and can be seen hanging from strings. You didn’t mention Hilda Berg’s Sagittarius transformation that shoots homing projectiles. In Captain Brineybeard’s battle, the barrel would be less of a nuisance if you weren’t using chaser, and the squid’s ink isn’t deadly; it darkens the screen.
This is some really good stuff, I'm reporting his channel right now for not including the waffle in his Cuphead Boss ranking video
So when you said the the barrel would be less of a nuisance if you weren’t using chaser do you just mean because it takes longer to kill him? because you can also parry on the top of the laser at the end meaning you don't have to get stuck in one spot for that stupid barrel. But also I don't know if he is even aware there are bombs on the plane once you talk to the guy in the first part of isle 2.
@@user-uw5en8ud3g Ok the chaser can sometimes target the barrel, which is unkillable.
One more pronunciation mistake: Werner Werman is likely pronounced German-style, meaning the W is pronounced like an English V. That makes the pun in the last name more apparent.
@@davyjones3105 oh ok
I would argue that the difficulty of the dlc bosses depends heavily on if you play as ms.chalice or not. She makes the game incredibly easy, with more hit points and more tools at your disposal to dodge attacks and not take hits.
I struggled a lot with Saltbaker with mrs chalice, however, with smokebomb it took me like 2 tries. i didn’t like mrs chalice personally
I wish they had made Ms. Chalice a sidegrade instead of being strictly superior to Cuphead/Mugman.
@@coathanger7760 ms chalice has a dodge roll, and on top of that she has double jump and extra health, and an easier parry, she’s just overpowered in general tbh
Adapting to Chalice people can find annoying. I find the double jump hard because although there is the double jump, there’s still the shorter chalice jump which is sorta counterproductive to it.
Turns himself into a sausage but earlyer she was called a cowgirl 😂
Nathaniel Bandy does strike me as the kind of guy to use nothing but the seeker shot and peashooter the entire game
And roundabout, but aiming towards the boss,
my man, for that last bird fase, you gotta use the bomb! talk to the NPC besides the candy princess stage (dont remember name) and he'll give you the power of the bomb!
Nathaniel bandy, would you mind telling me how in gods green name is mangosteen the hardest casino boss? There are two things to avoid, which move extremely slow, all you need to do is pay attention and it’s extremely easy
Tips: 1: Use roundabout more often. Period. 2: Use spread more often. Period.. 3: LEARN THE BOSS AI AND STRATEGIZE
It took me a solid full day to beat grim not realizing that I was using the wrong shot I would recommend using lobber the entire time since it does solid damage and on the last phase it harder to the the fire orbs compared to using the chaser which mostly gets the fire orbs making it harder to move
no way you have Mortimer Freeze this low. He is harder than pretty much everyone in the base game.
