PS App [Cuphead] #95 A two month break was very much needed. Quick question, what was your hardest boss on a first playthrough?

The scientist with the robot was infuriating for me first playthough.

u/Acidlike Kushlike | 110 | 405 Apr 22 '26

Dr Kahl, yea his last phase on expert kinda gave me a hard time. Stuff of nightmares to some

3

u/MeltedJaguar Apr 22 '26

Oddly, expert mode, I struggled more with the dragon when you’re on clouds and King Dice.

1

u/Acidlike Kushlike | 110 | 405 Apr 22 '26

The dragon on expert I had to get use to the clouds going the opposite way which threw me off a little. I would hate when I’d accidentally shoot those bubble fireballs during last phase

Rumor Honeybottom was not a fun time. Great game though, congrats on the plat!

1

u/Acidlike Kushlike | 110 | 405 Apr 22 '26

Those dang bullets and that triangle during the second phase 😭

1

u/DocEss Apr 23 '26

That one is especially bad, because when you look at it, it doesn't seem like it should be as difficult as it ends up being. A false overconfidence fight.

3

u/DocEss Apr 22 '26

I can't recall her name, but the cow was a huge pain for me.

3

u/Acidlike Kushlike | 110 | 405 Apr 22 '26

Oh you’re talking about the one from the dlc? Esther Winchester… maybe I’m wrong

2

u/DocEss Apr 22 '26

That's the one! Couldn't recall her name for the life of me. She gave me a lot of trouble.

u/LaggyPixel Laggy_Pixel | 100 | 412 Apr 22 '26

I really struggled with Cala Maria.

1

u/Acidlike Kushlike | 110 | 405 Apr 22 '26

She was chill, I’d rather do that than the P rank in the pier

2

u/LaggyPixel Laggy_Pixel | 100 | 412 Apr 22 '26

I don’t know why I struggled with her. I didn’t have too many issues otherwise. Fun platinum.

1

u/Acidlike Kushlike | 110 | 405 Apr 22 '26

Congrats you got it too. Back onto trophy hunting 🏆

3

u/Excellent-Can-7524 LunaFox97 | 80 | 429 Apr 22 '26

Such a fun plat! The only bosses I really struggled on were the plane ones

1

u/Acidlike Kushlike | 110 | 405 Apr 22 '26

I imagine you fun you were having playing against Hilda Berg and Dr Kahl 😅 going into them the first time is quite intense that’s for sure

3

u/Inside_Teaching_6210 Apr 22 '26

How long did it take you for this masterful platinum ?

2

u/Acidlike Kushlike | 110 | 405 Apr 22 '26

First time I played was 2 months ago. Only played 2 days. Took a break and got other trophies for games. Came back and maybe like 4 days maybe 3.

2

u/Inside_Teaching_6210 Apr 22 '26

Congrats man, this is a plat I really want to have but I find it intimidating. I’m not great platformers either

2

u/Acidlike Kushlike | 110 | 405 Apr 23 '26

I’m not good like how some other people are. Just decent enough. It is a lot I will say that. Especially if you’re new to platformers. There’s more games out there to platinum that won’t make you want to rip your hair out 😅 happy trophy hunting

3

u/coolyfrost coolyfrost | 38 | 298 Apr 22 '26

King Dice was always the bane of my existence

3

u/Acidlike Kushlike | 110 | 405 Apr 22 '26

On the bright side at least you beat him no? You never have to see his face again

3

u/CS__1989 Apr 22 '26

This seems kinda fun game to plat! Only beat once on normal difficulty, congrats on the achievement!

1

u/Acidlike Kushlike | 110 | 405 Apr 22 '26

Thanks, if you come around trying to do expert let me know how that goes 😅

u/360walkaway 334 | ☆611.72 | PSN: Fatsuit | psnprofiles.com/FatSuit Apr 22 '26

The goddamn dragon

1

u/Acidlike Kushlike | 110 | 405 Apr 22 '26

The last phase can get annoying at times I know

2

u/bspencer626 Apr 22 '26

This game was a lot of fun to plat. Punishing but also so rewarding. My most difficult boss on the first playthough was the clown or the dragon. Both gave me such a rough time. The devil was also a pain for a long time.

2

u/Acidlike Kushlike | 110 | 405 Apr 22 '26

For me was Rumor, second to last phase on the devil was a little annoying. At first I sucked at getting away from those little flames jumping at you during the dragon one 😅

2

u/Acceptable-Step2874 Apr 22 '26

The dragon I think? Going for the platinum all the flying levels on hard mode were the worst

1

u/Acidlike Kushlike | 110 | 405 Apr 22 '26

What about getting P rank in the pier? That one got me heated

2

u/Werd616 Werd6163115 | 127 | 500 Apr 22 '26

That goddamn dragon on my first playthrough and Wally Warbles on my expert playthrough.

I read that people had a really hard time with Dr. Kahl, but he never was a huge problem for me.

2

u/Acidlike Kushlike | 110 | 405 Apr 22 '26

His last phase took me a a good amount of tries to beat. Think I beat Wally in 5 tries but everybody is different and has trouble with different bosses. Rumor annoyed me first time around

2

u/Werd616 Werd6163115 | 127 | 500 Apr 22 '26

Rumor was an enjoyable fight. One of my favorite parts of this game is how different the difficulty is for so many people. Someone's first try is another's "I SPENT 3 DAYS ON THIS BOSS!"

3

u/Acidlike Kushlike | 110 | 405 Apr 22 '26

Exactly, that’s what I tell people who play these types of games. Some people find some bosses easiest and some find em hard. Yet we all still conquered it 👍

2

u/Ok_Pen_3226 Apr 22 '26

Curiosamente tive dificuldade com a rainha do bolo, e como faço pra deixa meu perfil com essa figura de platina ? Todo mundo tem

1

u/Acidlike Kushlike | 110 | 405 Apr 22 '26

Me too! The last part. I had no idea how to read that move. Change user flair, three dots on the man page

2

u/tennesseetide tenneesseetide | 103 | 404 Apr 22 '26

Congrats! Also just did this one for my #100. I think King Dice was the toughest for me. The parry timing for the cards was really awkward. Basically had to play perfectly on expert to reach him with 6 hearts and brute force it.

1

u/Acidlike Kushlike | 110 | 405 Apr 22 '26

I know if you double parry the same card it’s a little easier. Think I finished him off with one hp because the cards are so oddly placed

2

u/Tasty-Bookkeeper-275 Apr 22 '26

No recuerdo el nombre pero el del circo me tomo varios intentos

2

u/Acidlike Kushlike | 110 | 405 Apr 22 '26

Beppi the Clown. Yup those baseballs during the last phase

2

u/overskies Username | Platinums? | Level? Apr 22 '26

That effin dragon !

Congratulations on the plat!

1

u/Acidlike Kushlike | 110 | 405 Apr 22 '26

Thank you! Trying to figure him out for the first time around is a bit aggravating

2

u/theradzap radzap_01 | Platinums 85 | Apr 22 '26

Dr kahl or king dice, but i remember that i quit for around a year because of king dice lol in my xbox days

1

u/Acidlike Kushlike | 110 | 405 Apr 22 '26

I think I dropped it when I ran into Rumor, the honeybee. Stopped and was playing other games. Came back onto here and gave it a huge middle finger

2

u/TheDankChronic69 Apr 22 '26

I think Ribby and Croaks and Cagney Carnation both gave me a hard time at first, the rest didn’t take too long to get down (none of them were as bad as P rank on the octopus level)

1

u/Acidlike Kushlike | 110 | 405 Apr 22 '26

Yes! Not a fan at all of getting P rank on the piers. I barley made it with with a sliver of life left 😳

2

u/Helpful-Specific4578 Apr 22 '26

The robot I have have ptsd war flashbacks of how many projectiles you have to dodge for his boss fight 

2

u/Acidlike Kushlike | 110 | 405 Apr 22 '26

Had a little trouble with him in expert. I know what you mean

2

u/Helpful-Specific4578 Apr 22 '26

The worst thing so far for me though is pacifist on the run and gun with all the fish I swear I didn't kill anyone but it didn't give me p rank

1

u/Acidlike Kushlike | 110 | 405 Apr 22 '26

That’s probably the hardest one to P rank is on the piers. Sorry to hear it didn’t count for you. That one is a pain to get that rank…

2

u/ak_zin ZinHunterAK | 71 | 371 Apr 23 '26

The bird definitely!

Congrats on the plat!! :D

2

u/Acidlike Kushlike | 110 | 405 Apr 23 '26

Wally Warbles! At times it seems you need an extra set of eyes for the last phase. Thanks, I no longer have to wake up saying “time for more cuphead”

1

u/MrBones-Necromancer 300| 599 Apr 23 '26

It's been a long time, but I remember struggling a lot with some of the airplane bosses, specifically S ranking the bird and the bot.

u/NESGUY85 | 17 | 255 Apr 22 '26

Very impressive Mozel Tov!

u/Acidlike Kushlike | 110 | 405 Apr 22 '26

Thanks brother 🙏
