Every Cuphead Boss ranked by difficulty

- Yes, yes I recorded this before I got murdered by Werner Werman on stream. No, I'm not changing my answer lmao
IN MY OPINION these are where all the bosses belong on the difficulty chart. What I love about Cuphead is that everyone has a different boss they find hardest! Lots of people hate the robot though and I just don't understand why
My loadout:
CONTROLLER: Logitech Gamepad F310 - amzn.to/3dx2u8H
MICROPHONE: XLR Microphone, MAONO Cardioid Condenser Vocal Studio Recording Mic - amzn.to/3bU62kH
MONITORS: ASUS VL279HE 27” Eye Care Monitor - amzn.to/3pmWMsE
The only part where i do disagree is the kahl's robot,both first and third phase were a huge pain for me,pretty good list overall
No dr khal is at the bottom for me I can s rank him first try every time I play him
Eh He was a living nightmare when I first fought him but he isn’t that bad when I replayed the game If your talking about expert I see what you mean
When I first tried dr khals robot, I could not even get past the first phase. But I had practice with the first one and got the hang of it. My list is first phase:not much of a challenge. Second:pathetic. And last: absolutely brutal. It took me like 30 tries to beat the last phase.
I agree.
Depends on skill to be fair but he is easy for me
Personally, when I was trying to 100% Cuphead, beating Dr. Kahl's Robot was so hard for me. That boss is a pain in the ass lmao
@untitled channel Actually its pretty like 300% harder than warbles 2nd stage. the problem is the huge walls, trying to get past it and dodge is hard, but i can one try him these days (its much easier with miss chalice)
Ah a man of culture
Whetstone is the way just smack him in between super 4 times and you can also smack the battery robots and the intena in phase 1
not tryna be braggin' or nun, I was bored on cuphead so I decided to do doctor kohl's and now I have werner werman, Phantom Express, and Dr kohl with an S rank.
same
What is most stressful
- leaving a loved job
- loosing a loved one
- s ranking Dr Karl robot
🙌 PREACH BROTHA
You achieve nirvana after doing it, vwlieve me
Yes
Oh we all know
Booo
"I don't think Beppi is harder than... like Cala Maria" 💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀
Cala Maria didn't even take me 5 attemps. This clown took my SOUL dude...
I don't quite agree with that ranking I would put hilda berg into pathetic and cala maria into pathetic too I also thought wally warbles was the toughest boss in the game so I would put it in absolutely brutal.
@@lichlabs In normal mode Wally was pretty easy imo. I think the hardest one was Grim Matchstick or Rumor Honeybottoms

plot twist: werner was in the absolutely brutal tier
👍
IMO his hardest phase is the 2nd one cuz the last one isn’t too bad with the 3rd super and spreadshot with its ex attacks at point blank range since the cat is in the background and all 8 spikes will hit it dealing a crap ton of damage
@@CrazyKevin22 2nd phase is annoying if one side is coming and then Werner werman is up top you can't go through without your head bumping him
Yes, Werner Werman is very BRUTAL
To me he was okay
Fun Fact: Through all my King Dice fights, I never actually encountered the Monkey. (Not never beat, never even encountered) Also, Dr. Khal was the bane of my existence
Mr. Chimes (the monkey’s name) is the 9th and last one.
I don't know why but I found his expert mode easier? Maybe it's because I waited a really long time to do his expert and beat the dlc so I just got better at the game but still.
You’re not missing out, trust me.
I thought khal was kinda easy
I've beaten it once (or two) and a lot of times I died when I almost won. I encountered it accidentally :/
Dr. Kahl's robot took FOREVER for me to A+. In my opinion he's the hardest boss.
I have A+’d Phantom Express and Dr. Kahl’s Robot and haven’t even gotten higher than A- on Grim.
@Zax YT 2.0 Bingo. Trying to S rank Dr. Kahls robot was the worst experience in my life that I considered removing patches and abusing the cheese
…I did it by pure accident
I was just trying to 100% the game on an alt and I just… did it, along with accidentally S ranking beppi
I have watched Justo's video on Dr. Kahl's robot and come to my senses. I S-ranked him along with cala maria
Same. He also takes me the longest to defeat.
Not putting Mangosteen in bowl boy tier is the biggest massacre ever seen in mankind
Fr! He is the easiest boss in the game by far
6:18 No shit Jherlock Bones, you’ve been on this planet longer than most of us. I’m surprised your brain hasn’t began decaying.
bro took offense to that ranking 💀💀💀💀
Funny thing about the pawns they SUCK to fight with two players since everything gets a HP boost so each one takes 2 hits to knock of its head. A friend of mine and I spent a good 15 mins retrying that same fight over and over… it was not fun
Oh, god. I feel your pain. My boyfriend and me had to move to single player only for that fight, because we spent like 20 minutes of dying and readind that "Despacito" reference.
Exactly, it was definetly a pain beating it with my little nephew 💀
@@gatitachan5415 there’s a despacito reference? I mean, I dunno what the lyrics are in English because I’m not Spanish but I don’t think it is
@@AveragePixolotlFan Oh, sorry. But I'm the spanish version, there's a "Despacito" reference.
@@gatitachan5415 oh
I always found the king dice fight as a whole to the be the hardest boss.especially when you fight king dice himself at the end.very very tough and i had a decent bit of trouble
That's fair!
no offense but i think he’s kind of a joke lol i accidentally a+ him when i beat him
@@soggydinnerolls1821 I got an s accidentally
@@robie6482 How do you even get an s by accident? You would have to beat the boss twice to do it
No the thing that makes it hard is that you use up all your energy on all the casino bosses then you barely have enough energy to fight King Dice, cause that’s what I was like for my first time.
I agree with everything else, except Dr. Kahl and his bot. It should be on the "Absolutely Brutal" tier, and The Genie should be on "Quite Difficult" tier.
ua-cam.com/video/MrsM31-DKwQ/v-deo.html
Dr. Kahl’s patterns are consistent. By far the easiest flying boss after playing the game enough.
@@mayjorpayn i mean everybody can have they own opinion about bosses u think karl is easy and that other guy thinks opposite.
I know, djimmi the Great took me like 3 weeks to beat!
Dijimi the great is the worst i hate plane levels and dijimi is the worst plane level
Grim matchstick was honestly pretty easy for me once I figured out to use lobbed: I see why everybody may think his 3rd phase is hard but personally it’s quite easy. When he uses flamethrower just go to the top to hit with a lot of lob we and lover ex. And his fireballs are quite slow and easy to dodge. He also only uses one attack at a time which to me is easier. This is just my opinion though and I do respect the opinions of those who think he is one of the top three hardest bosses.
One thing to consider. By this point in the game some people might have already spent all their coins and didn't have the lobber yet. I spent my coins on other stuff and couldn't get it so I instead had to use the roundabout.
One thing about the fireballs in Grim’s final phase: shoot it and it splits into four flames. So don’t shoot at them!
I struggled with The Root Pack and Goopy when I was younger. Young me is worse than Bowl Boy.
I can relate to you about the peons/pawns. They just keep jumping on top of you while you're trying to jump over or parry another one, and it's extremely annoying.
I had to use a Djimmi wish 💀
@@randomaccount349 You Know you're so bad at this When you use the Wish
@@ZADARGG nobody cares, let them do what they want
Pawn not hari but. IT its super annoying

I think a tier list on S ranking bosses would be very interesting
It's on the list!
Grim Matchstick walks in
@@waffles_xt honestly grim wasn’t as bad to S rank as he was to beat for the first time
@@redbool1115 yea I S ranked it easily with parry ring if it’s hard to you use parry ring it helps so much!
@@waffles_xt Mortimer freeze walks in
"Guppy,even bowl boy can beat you"
Finally someone who thinks dr kahl is easy, I honestly have no idea how people find him so hard
He was broken during Launch, then his Phases got upgraded and the entire Boss Fight became easier in general(or atleast it seems like it) , people find him so hard because there's a lot going on during the battle, especially if the Player doesnt adapt strategies or patterns in order to defeat Him. I always found him to be stressfull but fun, if you lock in a Play Pattern for the First Phase the rest is fairy easy, only a matter of survival.
Never mess with werner werman!
You never know what he is capable of!
Even worse he's British 😱💀💀💀(joke)
@@Birthday_Boy_Blam Isnt he German???
Beppi deserves a tier of his own. HE WAS STUPIDLY BRUTAL!
He's literally the easiest isle 2 boss
Spread and Invincibility
Use them!
He's hard to start with, but once you get the hang of it he's easy af
Beppi is one of the easiest bosses on regular and expert
The first tier list I mostly agree with, I thought the Tipsy Troop were really easy once I figured out that they have animations before they attack. Also, Fearlap would be in absolutely brutal, the foreground covered everything.
Edit: Ribby and croaks would be WAY higher for me, the tigers are the bane of my existence.
Hah good luck with expert because the tigers are the easiest then
yes those tiger platforms are the worst
Honestly, I don't find any of the third phase attacks that bad. I'm quite neutral with all of them.
@@gatitachan5415 *Are you even human?*
@@guhmmyv0 Yes. Why??
5:50 I can’t agree more it took me 2 weeks to beat saltbaker on expert
Chef Saltbaker caused me so much suffering in expert mode
I definitely agree with this list overall, every placement is quite fair when taking into account all of the difficulty settings and whatnot. I feel like there are a few on there though that can definitely differ depending on how you play them. For example, the easier bosses such as Beppi the clown and Sally Stageplay actually ended up being a real pain to finish off since I was trying to S rank them with the peashooter only. It ended up being really hard due to taking too long on them and it took a while to really optimize for that, ESPECIALLY Beppi. Great list man 👍 (Also the Mr Chimes placement is absolutely true I would be hard pressed to find anyone intentionally going for them during the King Dice fight)
yes 👍
I completely agree with you for Mortimer Freeze’s second phase being harder than the third.
That phase was a total pain in the ass for me to beat
Me to
It’s just the fucking popsicle demons that make it unreasonably difficult for me, the rest is good.
I love how saltbaker is in the brutal tier list and the devil is in quite difficult
For me it's the opposite.
Having Bowl boy as the easiest tier hasn't aged incredibly well, considering season two. Still, good video
I confused Wally warbles wasn’t in absolutely brutal expert mode was a pain for me
“Even Bowl Boy could beat it” didn’t age too well
You are absolutely right about Djimmi the Great, when I first tried fighting him he is super hard but when I played him yesterday I beat him first try. I also did it damage-less as well. P a t h e t I c.
Imo the robot is one of the hardest bosses because there's too much going on at once, and mortimer freeze was just like the second easiest boss in the game for me, i literally beat him first or second try with ms. Chalice
2:05
You were so close on the name, their name is the Lollipop Ghouls.
btw the name of “the train itself” is the Head of the Train

Fun fact for the pawns, with chalice, you can dash/parry on them without jumping
4:00 fr this freaking mage, I took me literal 11 straight hours to S rank him, easily the hardest one for me
I love how you put the boss where you just use smoke dash and shoot and can easily win and is arguebly one of the easiest bosses above dr kahl one of the most bullet hell intensive fights
dude when you play the dice fight you dont know what you gonna play so you wont allways use the smoke bomb so its mostly luck plus when you dont have the smoke bomb its really hard to jump over the small hole while theres only one chip at the bottom the timing brutal so its above the boss where your absoloutly sure whats gonna happen.
@@tombeetroot_A.S.P. smoke dash legit the best charm in the game excluding dlc charms (Chalice and MAYBE the relic)
@@madrespect5536 I stand corrected
@@madrespect5536 i don’t like the randomized weapons of the divine relic. Makes fights way longer if RNG isn’t in your side. Not worth having the bonuses in my opinion.
@@mayjorpayn you can just switch your weapon until you get the one you want
You should also rank them based on how fun they are or design next time. really like this vid and you are a seasoned cuphead player, so your opinions are interesting!
Thank you! Yeah, I'm planning on doing those later after enough time has passed!
I will be personally offended if Cagney isnt top 5 in either.
4:16 thank you for agreeing with me
2:00 “Can you walk left and right?”
Chef Saltbaker Second phase:
Beating Dr. Kahl's Robot was possibly the biggest relief I've ever experienced in gaming.
I found Cala Maria hard than Grim Matchstick though. I found the airplane levels harder in general.
And the secret Angel and Demon pretty easy, once I realized I could roll around the bottom with Miss Chalice using Crackshot.
It took me 3 hours to beat him on expert
The singer you call I will. Ghost is actually does the blind spectre in the world are you pop goes? It’s actually the two things that bounce around in training with the dumb man. It’s actually skeleton in the team is actually Bob.
Mean troons are.
Lol this was fun to watch I would love to see something like this again
Glad you liked it! Never really done one of these types of videos before
It’s funny to me that you put Hilda Berg so high, I thought she was pretty easy even as a first time player, especially compared to Ribby and croaks. Those guys took me forever to get their 3rd phase.
Dr. Khal was hard on my first playthrough, but S ranking didn't take too long
it’s funny that the pawns are literally harder than the literal queen herself but I’m so much more worse than cuphead like I bet I couldn’t even beat the potato
I love how at the end of the video when you fu**ing zoomed out Werner
Werman
I really dunno why, but grim matchstick is really easy for me. By the way, it’s my favorite boss, and I really enjoy fighting with him😁
Imagine putting a DVD logo in the hardest difficulty. Bro cannot predict the predictable
The game sure caters to different skill sets. I’d guess if you were to take a poll of tier lists you’d get some drastically different results. Not putting Esther Winchester on the brutal list tells me you’re much better at dodging every-which-way projectiles all over while manipulating the plane mechanics than I am. You also place some others as harder than I find them. How you’re equipped also changes things considerably, especially if you’ve got the Devine Relic.
Speaking of which, the amount of guides various gaming sites have posted on the Devine Relic, go into deep detail on how to get it, then describe it as only randomizing the weapons with normal HP is pretty high. These people are in the business of giving gaming tips and they don’t even notice the other effects or think to mention them?
Also, I just had the most clutch way to beat a final boss you can have - Playing through Saltbaker after several failed attempts, I got a knockout AND death animation at the same time! It counted as a win, thankfully, but for a moment you’re not sure what to believe as “Knockout!” appears on screen, the boss goes into its sputtering animation, and your sad ghost is floating up alongside it. Maybe there should be a special achievement for that...
Them: Put Dr. Kahl’s Robot in Pathetic Tier
Me: …It took me 500+ attempts to beat that damn boss 🥲🥲
Honestly I don’t really think that grim matchstick is that hard, the third phase is pretty difficult but I fell like people say he’s so hard but I think he’s “quite difficult” or “tricky but not bad”
In my experience, I’m not good at cuphead but I beat Grim Matchstick with a lot less deaths and before Bleppy the clown who could not kill and I’d died way more than I probably should have before killing Bleppy so I’d put Matchstick at Tricky but not bad and Bleppy at Quite Difficult on my list
It’s Beppi but me too, first time I beat grin matchstick it didn’t take me long. Now I’ve s ranked all the bosses, and I can say I find grim matchstick hard.
4:43 Didn't know you roll like dat my dude
Random fact: I'm good at chef saltbaker but I'm actually not good at the devil
for me was like it took lots and lots of tries for beating him and the chef was like 2 or 3 tries, im not saying that hes not hard i mean on expert he is pure pain but in normal it is not too much
Couldn’t agree more on a cuphead boss Tier list wtf it’s perfect
JustoAllDay:beppi the clown is harder than cala Maria.
Me seeing tiger list of them:cala Maria higher than beppi the clown
I completely agree with your opinion on Mr. Chimes. I avoid him every time I fight King Dice. He is a real time waster and could cause you to lose the s rank.
I just completed my first ever playthrough of Cuphead (haven't done DLC yet). Took a few days and the bosses I struggled the most on were Dr Kahl (third phase) and King Dice. Devil was also tough. The Dragon was actually very easy for me, I guess it depends on the player. Your videos did help a lot though!
Thank you very much! Great work!
I think when you use the purple weapon (the balls), it's way easier to beat the dragon, especially the third stage, because it's harder to hit and explode his shot.
@@DaniloOliveira36 Yeah. I used Roundabout on first phase, lobber on second and third. You just have to stay near the top middle and jump occassionally, it's a piece of cake!
Same here. I am on the dlc and Esther whinchester is giving me a hard time. Then I have howling aces and salt baker.
Yeah to be fair dr.kahl and the devil were the only booses I struggled in the base game in the dlc is the last boss the chess pawn and the wizard going into the snow golem
Wow, you must’ve been REALLY good at Cuphead to beat the 5th best as well as hardest boss in the game! How many tries did it take you to beat it?

I just recently started getting all the s-ranks, and I had very little problems with Grim Matchstick. For Wally Warbles, should I play as Cuphead/Mugman for the better shooting, or Ms. Chalice for the extra hit point?
I still think he's easier as Cuphead because Chalice just doesn't do enough damage for that boss!
For all the plane bosses use the divine relic if you have it
@@redbool1115 I'm trying to get that now, thank you
The turning point for Grim was the lobber for me, it melts him very fast in the second and third phase
Wally is pain all around, but the divine relic does help I believe
I recommend Cuphead with the Divine Relic. The Relic isn’t that great for land bosses, since it randomises your weapons, but on airplane levels (when you only have two weapons anyway) it works like a treat. And use many, many, many, many bombs to decrease his health as quickly as you can.

Yes he did
I think grim matchstick was a good challenge when i first fought him, but I do think he was a lot better then you have potrayed him.
