I straight up have been doing this fight all day and this video came out while taking a sanity break, this was my saving grace and key to getting that stupid S rank. Thank you Kap!
The only thing that you could improve here is to keep using more EX shots in phase 1. When using Coffee or Divine Relic, you get your super meter quite fast, so don't be shy with those EX shots in phase 1. What happened most of the time for me was I would use 2 EXs to shoot the bottom part, then 1 or 2 EXs for the middle (to make sure I wouldn't end up with a full super meter). Then, once the heart appeared, I'd do 2 EX shots, which would leave me with about 2.5 cards and once phase 2 began, I would end up with a full super meter anyway.
I got a secret to make the first phase easier. My secret is when the fight starts and you use plane peashooter to shoot the antenna, I’d just get up closely carefully and just shoot the antenna but at the same time whetstone it for 5-7 times which makes it a lot faster but if the pink laser thing is coming out I’d just get out of the way and just spam plane peashooter until the antenna is destroyed
I remember trying Dr. Kahl’s robot on Expert… and from that first attempt I decided I wouldn’t ever try to S Rank him. Maybe next time I’ll try with this new info in mind. Thanks!
I used this to beat him regularly going through the game instead of S ranking, I was having a rough time and the other tutorials on youtube weren't as detailed as yours. I promise you, I suck so bad at bullet hells, but thanks to this vid I finished the level with an A rank and can finally play the rest of the game. Thanks :)
So I originally started out Expert Mode by getting S-Ranks on all of the bosses back to back. I got to Wally Warbles before I said: “screw it… I’m just gonna try to beat every boss on expert instead of getting the S-Ranks.” I got the S-Rank for Dr. Kahl’s Robot without even attempting to, I was just trying to beat him
Okay I just wanna say this I respect opions but this is the easiest flying boss s rank I did it second attempt and all the others are flying bosses are just like 10x harder than this so I honestly get annoyed when I hear, “ dr kahl is the hardest boss! “ but I did take your advice and besides your a really good cuphead player So yeah great work! And here have a sub!
For an S Rank, I genuinely believe this boss is not easy, otherwise, yeah he's really not bad to fight. Without charm crutches you absolutely have to play well to get past with ease. The first and second phase are only easy once you know what to do, so that does have to be taken into account imo. I only think he's easy now because I went through trial and error to discover what the easiest route was, and the last phase is still completely up to the player, so that's why I say it's objectively not easy because it isn't. For example, I think Ribby and Croaks are extremely easy, yet I still get multiple comments every week saying they struggle with him or that I'm wrong. We all have our strengths and weaknesses, and I would like to try helping as much as I can; it's why I make these guides 😁. I appreciate the comment!
The strategy only works if you're playing on EXPERT mode, as his moveset changes, along with many other bosses, depending on the difficulty. You can't do the first strategy at the beginning on Regular because he will ALWAYS shoot his laser first REALLY fast, so you'd have to dodge it first before focusing fire on it until it's destroyed.
I like to use the divine relic to whetstone the shit out of the laser. It always gets it done fast mixed with the bombs. Dr. Khal has honestly become one of the easiest S-ranks since, especially compared to the other plane bosses, he just follows a pattern with little rng.
You're not on Expert mode. I can tell because he always shoots his laser first on Regular, which is NOT the mode I'm taking about in the video. That's how much the modes matter in terms of the strategies you use.
Honestly, I'll try my best to make a guide, but Wally is still extremely difficult for me, however I can think of things to talk about during the boss fight that could help people with him. I'll try to make Wally my next guide!
I mean compared to Wally warblers Cala Maria and Hilda burg his kinda ez you just get that motion in because his first phase is basically scripted and the two hand attacks are not that hard when you destroy the bombs his second phase is well uh the shortest phase within all of cuphead even without super it’s not that bad and his last phase with the super than 4-5 whetstone and the 3 extra hp with heart ring it’s just not hard
For Dr. Kahl? No, I disagree. The last phase is quite literally the ONLY things that makes this tough to S Rank, and you can definitely learn to not take 1 hit during the last phase. Divine Relic makes this MUCH easier, which is why I recommend it so you don't HAVE to deal with trial and error.

Definitely true. I for whatever reason always forget to use EX's. Always good to use em :)
@@MrKap ex gang rise up ✊
So you're telling me I shouldn't just rely on Miss Chalice to get S Rank on every Boss?! Wow!
Not on plane levels
@@BaconisKingYT Yeah, I found that out the hard way because of that DAMN Wally Warbles.
@@SpeedyNinja1152 I'm on the fucking bird in my s rank journey it's a pain in the ass cause of the eggs
If you use the Whetstone on the antenna at the beginning you can destroy it before he gets to shoot anything.

Thank you SO much for this guide I’ve been having trouble with Dr.Kahl for about a week now and this has helped me alot

I haven’t played this boss in 2 years but S ranked it after the second try I got to his last phase.
(I had to restart twice because I got hit) thanks!
thanks, I have been having troubles with this boss but I can S rank all the other ones quite easily. Ill try these tips and see if it works
HOW IN ALL HOLY HELL DOES THIS ONLY HAVE 300 LIKES
This was really helpful
I finally S ranked Dr. kahl and this tutorial was very helpful. Good vid👍
this guide was literally fantastic. you are concise and articulate and this video is invaluable to the greater cuphead community; well done!
Wow, I really appreciate the comment! I try to pride myself on being as absolutely clear as possible and helping out people as much as I can!
So I originally started out Expert Mode by getting S-Ranks on all of the bosses back to back.

I got the S-Rank for Dr. Kahl’s Robot without even attempting to, I was just trying to beat him
The first time i played the game this was the boss that i took 3 years on and this makes it easier
genuinely took me days to s rank wally warbles while dr, kahl took me 10 minutes, it is by far one of the easier ones to s rank
thx to your i have s rank on all bosses including dlc bosses
Awesome man!
True mrkap moment 😨😨😨😨
Okay I just wanna say this I respect opions but this is the easiest flying boss s rank I did it second attempt and all the others are flying bosses are just like 10x harder than this so I honestly get annoyed when I hear, “ dr kahl is the hardest boss! “ but I did take your advice and besides your a really good cuphead player So yeah great work!

I love you thanks to you i did it on second try
after this video i frist timed this boss ofc whit S rank thanks
This doesn't work for me !😡 I go straight to the laser but it shots of almost immediately and screws up everything , so yeah this did not help 🤔
You're not playing on Expert Mode. This doesn't work on Regular, as he attacks in a different pattern on Regular than Expert.
@@MrKapdo you got any tips for regular?
Ok haven't S rank Dr. Kahl because I HATE HIM but one thing you forgot to mention is use bombs in the last phase when you are above him that helps to
Thanks
Tysm
I actually think thought this was the easiest S rank in the game besides the root pack and wally warbles. I got this on my first try thanks to you!
So whenever I do the first part of the strategy it doesn't work because he uses his laser too fast
The strategy only works if you're playing on EXPERT mode, as his moveset changes, along with many other bosses, depending on the difficulty.

Dr. Khal has honestly become one of the easiest S-ranks since, especially compared to the other plane bosses, he just follows a pattern with little rng.
Its impossible to do this, as you cannot destroy his antenna, he starts shooting immesiately

@@MrKap im not, i didnt know this was for expert
Can you do Wally warbles, ive literally S an P ranked the entired game but him
Honestly, I'll try my best to make a guide, but Wally is still extremely difficult for me, however I can think of things to talk about during the boss fight that could help people with him. I'll try to make Wally my next guide!
@@MrKap Thank you very much, really like your content by the way

What does super meter mean?
Using your nukes/super ex
How to dr kahls s rank robot
What laser comes so early?M
I believe it shoots a lot earlier on Expert Mode, that's why I recommend getting rid of it ASAP.
This guy forgot whetstone exists…
You can spam the laser and kill the drones in phase 1
If you played it without the dlc like me you would be suffering very bad
For Dr. Kahl? No, I disagree. The last phase is quite literally the ONLY things that makes this tough to S Rank, and you can definitely learn to not take 1 hit during the last phase. Divine Relic makes this MUCH easier, which is why I recommend it so you don't HAVE to deal with trial and error.
@@MrKap i dont have the dlc 😅
Do you recommend me to buy it?
Ive been doing this dude vor MORE THAN 2 DAYS OMG THIS MAN IS ANNOYING 🤖
I gave up and used a mod to beat this trahs. No, I'm the real trash....
