How to S Rank the Phantom Express | Cuphead
Вставка
- Опубліковано 13 вер 2024
- Thomas the undead tank engine here was a real pain in my behind when I was doing my challenge run ( • The Hardest Cuphead Ch... ), but he's really not too bad if you have the right equipment. Even S Ranking the Phantom Express isn't too hard because it's easy to get tons of parries and he doesn't have much life.
Preferred loadout:
Roundabout/Peashooter
Spread
P.Sugar (REQUIRED)
As long as you have the auto parry sugar, this boss becomes a cakewalk. You'll be able to move the platform at will and trivialize all those pesky enemies trying to jerk you around. The final phase is still tough, but you just have to keep practicing to get through it. Hopefully this Cuphead guide can help you get that precious S Rank!
I'm running out bosses! Let me know which Cuphead boss I should S Rank next!
Best edit so far! Quite clear, and the usual failure mode-shots in between are informal.
Cuphead is just soo pleasing to watch. Lucky I don't have to suffer though that :D
Woohoo! Thank you! I'm finding my feet when it comes to how I want to do these types of videos. The problem is I'm going to run out of bosses!
Parry: [exists]
The Phantom Express: *I'LL TAKE YOUR ENTIRE STOCK*
King Dice and Dr. Kahl’s Robot:
Here are some extra tips:
1) If you use the weapon from the dlc that shoots thre lightings you can use it to make phase so easy because all of the eyeblass that are being thrown at you get destroyed by just holding your shoot and your aim button.
2) Crack shot is useful for the final phase.
3) If you want to use your super in phase 2 safely as miss chalice, instead of launching yourself up by jumping, you should launch yourself up by parrying the things on the platform you are standing. The reason jumping doesn't get the job done is because you can get hit that way.
Definitely the easiest one for me, but the autoparry completely screw me over, I keep hitting the wheels by accident and getting myself in wrong places, I prefer to control my parries on this one, it's so much easier for me.
I used roundabout and chaser, all of the phases are extremely easy for me with this set (charm can be coffee or smoke), the chaser is definitely the best option for the last phase.
I'm always worried won't have enough damage output to kill the boss in time but I realize I've never actually tried it!
Agree, Roundabout is enough for the three first phases, then chaser is quite useful in the last phase in order to dodge the fireballs and not caring about leading your shots to the heart. I recommended using coffee as charm, you’ll have a super move available every phase practically.
personally I use coffee
I agree about controlling your parries. I actually hate the auto parry, cuz for some reason it always messes my rhythm, including in this stage. Used the roundabout and chaser for the final phase, and smoke bomb or twin heart, although it is way harder with the twin heart to get the s rank time limit.
Your videos are so helpful tho. Thank a bunch.
@@wicaksonoprayogie9780 Now for the Delicious Last Course!
During the third phase, if you have roundabout, you can aim your shots at them.
For example, want to hit the enemy in the top left? Aim bottom right. Roundabout turns around n hits them
Oooh great tip! Gotta try that one for myself
The Phantom Train is one of my favorite levels, mainly for Spector!
Geez you're fast!! It's a fun level for sure!
@@JustoAllDay As I said, it's my goal to be here within the first hour. And yeah! I found it to be the most entertaining level that didn't make me want to cry.
Beating this boss is so easy, getting a good score is another story
EXACTLY. I keep trying to atleast A rank it because I want to get an achievement. I get every bonus but the time. All I get is B+ rank because I always finish it A LOT over 2 minutes.
PERFECTLY SAID LMAO
Great video as always. :)
The biggest tip I can personally give to add to what you said is, in third phase, if the whatever-that-thing-is on your side starts its lightning attack, you don't need to go to the other side of the screen.
You can just go behind it and it will never hit you. You can also lock your charater in place and shoot him while all that happens.
Oh shoot! I never knew that! I guess you would have to use chaser or peashooter to get the angle right?
@@JustoAllDay I used Roundabout in my kill but now that you say it, I guess those could work better, yep.
The way I did it is I went behind the first one and started shooting at an angle, then when it died I went all the way to the other side of the screen and stayed went behind the second one and just repeated the process.
Damn that's awesome. Will definitely try that next time
Honestly, I think the final phase is one of the single best phases in the game.
I agree
Even after several week after the dlc, this is still my favorite boss/level in the enterity of the game

This tricky train just have everything to me
For the lightning guys, if you stand at the very edge of the screen, the lightning can’t hit you. Saves having to haul ass over to the other side running away from the lightning.
I love how he swears always
That glitch that happened was definitely hell on Earth!
Funny and informative at the same time. Love it.
How do you not have more subscribers
for those lighting rod things
If you have the super art one you can hit both of them at the same time which makes this section a lot easier
I usually use the super art on the first ghost so it allows me to save up for the second
2:15 it makes sense, since trains rely on their weight to get their speed since steel against steel produces almost zero friction, contrary to rubber against asfalt which is literally almost unmovable because of the amount of friction, so it's understandable he'd be way faster running
I did roundabout, chaser and parry sugar. I used roundabout the entire fight and then at the end I used my super on the locomotive and then just used chaser and he died the second time I parried the tail.
So far this is the only time ive seen chaser as the most effective weapon for a boss. And its for literally one phase and nothing else.
I think for sally's last phase too chaser is a must.
I use Chaser for the train part and it helped me so much
many people dont know that the pumpkins can help you in the skeleton conductor part
Great guide. I'd recommend saving your Super for the twin heads. You can hit one with it and, after a few more hits, it will easily die, meaning you now only need to hit the other head. I'm not sure if you can hit both heads with the Super.
Your channel is so is so underrated!
Literally tried so many times only to get an A+ instead
You have to do expert mode
"You have wheels, why are you running?"
Kiraidon moment
I'm finally done with every thing except inkwell hell.
Tip when you are fighting the last phase try to stay towards the middle bc u get the least amount of fire
I think the charge shot works better than the spread
For the two lollipop things on the last second phase you can just stand on the far far left of the track and left of the rail you can just shoot them both easily.
Fight me. You know phantom express has become too easy for with my loadout consisting of roundabout, chaser, super art 1 and auto parry it's a cake walk really.
For the lollypop ghouls( that is the official name) you can stand at the most left of the screen and you won't get hit by either of them
Using converge was a joke on this didn’t even have to move for the first stage unless I had to parry the stupid candy..
A bit of a cheese but on the lightning things if the one you are under starts going you can hug the left side and dash stall to avoid it
Surprisingly, Thomas and Co. are one of the easiest to S-Rank.
You can stand at the edge of cart, and avoid the lightning thing.
According to the file name or Sound videos, the pink guys in Phase3 are called “Lollypop Ghouls.”
No one will probably see this, but the converge shot in the new dlc is literally the best for the first and second phase, it takes all the eyeballs in the first phase
I also think ms chalice is helpful for her movement and parries
My second shot is spread but I literally didn’t have to use it at all
I recommend super 1 with me chalice cuz it shoots your beam upward which you have to do every phase besides the first
Did you know if the ghoul your under attacks you first, just haul to the left. The lightining won't hit you for some reason. Maybe try that.
I use the spread shot and the chaser. 1st phase, move to the front of the cart and use your spread shot and charge your invincibility super up and once it’s full, use it and jump off the cart and move in front of him and finish him off. 2nd phase is really based off luck. Use your spread shot and do your best to avoid his attacks. 3rd phase is really also based off of luck. Whichever head starts attacking, move to the opposite corner of where he is and do damage to the other head. Do the same for the other one and I also use automatic parry. Last phase equip your chaser and parry his tail and shoot the weak spot and watch out for the little bone boomerangs because those gave me trouble and just keep doing that and you should have him down lickity split
damn. what a shame that i have no more coins and the only thing i’m missing is the auto parry… this should be fun
The Blaze Brothers(Lollipop Ghouls) are actually train pistons!
The only S rank I currently have outside of Inkwell Isle 1.
I think the lightning things are pistons- not entirely sure though this fight had a dog train car thing so it doesn't make a lot of sense
for the brothers they are the Blaze brothers for info
I recently got a s rank on phantom express my load out was the converge shot and the crackshot and my charm was chalice with the 3rd super
I S ranked this on the second try and then I got this recommended
I SWAER TO GOD THOSE FRICKING PUMPKINS
Im not s-ranking so maybe this would take too long, but at the lightning rodsi just stand in the corner and shoot the spread shot diagonally up, away from my corner. It damages the head youre under and kills all the ghosts in just the right spot so they dont parry your cart. The only problem like i said is that it takes longer because the head will sometimes be out of range while its dancing. When you kill 1 head, parry a ghost so you get all 3 parries and get the cart to the other side and repeat
I recommend using chaser for the last one
I keep auto parrying the cart and dying
RIP in pieces
Hi im totally not 2 years late, you are right the auto parry was a fucking life saver. Thanks mate, your cuphead videos have been hilarious and a huge help. 👏✨
Not including the last 4 flying bosses - which I haven't done yet on expert level - this was by far the most annoying boss for me. I practiced it for like 2 hours spread over a few days and I still did not get him. I did get a S-rank on all the other non-flying bosses and Hildaberg. It is those annoying pumkings which drop bars of soap or whatever that get me and I actually am good at parrying.
When I was trying to beat this for the first time I didn’t lose a single life I got all the parrys and my super meter up and was on regular but I got an A- because I took too long to beat it
The secondary shot I bring instead of Spread is the Charge, solely for the final phase. With any other weapon besides the useless Chaser, most of your shots are prone to missing. But with the Charge, you just have to be precise when taking aim and inflict big damage one shot at a time!
To beat phamtom express I choose charge or spread as primary and secondary chaser
finished on S rank with spread and chaser and used the beam for super plus the one extra HP.
Converge. Nuff said.
I swear the bone rings have killed me so many times
😂 You're hilarious!
Chase is also very effective for the last stage
I go with chaser, spread and P. Sugar in the third stage me and my brother would go to the right, stand in the corner, equip chaser and shoot them, we would take zero damage from them but the ghosts could screw us up if we weren’t expecting them
this really helped me on my ps4 thanks!!
Phantom express without the jack-o-lantern giving parry drops - easiest level ever
Phantom express in simple mode - Ez
Phantom express with the jack-o-lantern - 3-4th hardest lvl
On those heads stay close to the side and you can stay on the same side the whole time
The phantom express is always easy to beat for me. The problem I have is getting the time bonus, which keeps making me get a lower score. Is there anything else I should do for this?
2:33 "No, I don't see it"
You can beat it without auto parry, it’s just so much more annoying
1:26 They're locomotive pistons
My load out for this if anyone who has the dlc hasn't beat this in. My opinion cracks and the lightning bolts lightning just gets rid of all of the first guys projectiles and charm is coffee for more cards
You can go to the side the they shoot Lightning
Phantom Express is prob my favorite boss fight in the gamee
I watched UA-cam videos like these that talk about how easy the game was. And I thought it was too in simple mode . But then I found out to beat the game you have to do it in regular mode and some of these bosses are the hardest thing on earth. I struggled a lot with the bee one and the dragon one. And all I have is cala Maria now and that’s fucking hard lol most of these don’t have the hardest phase in easy mode
This boss is one of the most easiest bosses in the game I got an a+ rank
Btw the lightning rod fuckers wont hit you if you go to the very very end of the screen and neither can hit you
I just did the phantom express with double axe finall part is tuff
me who s ranked this boss using smoke bomb for some reason
I can't get under 2 minutes 30. I don't understand what I'm doing wrong
Can the lightning reach Cuphead when Cuphead is behind one of the ghosts?
1:01 ayo?
I dont have psugar
Nah. The best charm here is easily double hearts. Everything else I agree with, except use chaser instead of roundabout in the final phase
Double heart useless for S rank
is this glitched for anyone else?? i got 3 min, 2/3 health points, 3/3 parries, 6/6 super meters, and got a B???
I'm almost done s ranking every boss. I just need phantom express and the devil. But for God sake those fire balls are the most annoying little shits in the boss in my opinion
Honestly as much as auto parry is a miracle i used twin hearts and it worked perfectly
Yeah, but it won't help with S-Rank, will it?
I use wetstone
Unpopular opinion: I think that Coffee is easier for me. I spent an hour and a half using the P. Sugar parrying things I didn't want to bc I was too close to the edge, but I finished the boss in ~20 minutes when I switched to the Coffee.
I’d say twin hearts help a lot more
auto parry sucks. always.
just take ms chalice
Can u do Wally warbles, I cant get past that fucking baby
I did do Wally Warbles already! Though this was before I used my voice. Maybe I'll go back and redo my old guides in the future.

You can live if the lightning comes on your sde. Just hug the wall.
