Cuphead is a whacky yet fun game that has lots of amazing boss fights. Despite the difficulty, a lot of players have already managed to beat the game. Now that the The Delicious Last Course DLC is finally released, players can look forward to even more bosses and amazing boss fights.

That said, there’s a secret boss in the game that a lot of people might not even know exist. That’s none other than the Devil and the Angel duo. In this guide, I’ll show you how you can defeat them both.

Secret Boss Guide in Cuphead DLC The Delicious Last Course

The secret boss can be accessed by solving buying the Broken Relic from Porkrind and solving the graveyard puzzle. After you manage to solve the puzzle, the tombstone in the middle will start glowing. Then, you will be asked if you want to take a nap, and if you say yes, you will go into a dream and meet the boss.

How to Beat the Secret Boss

The fight only consists of a single phase, but it’s far from easy. In fact, it’s quite challenging compared to the other bosses in the base game so far. In order to beat the beat, you’ll want to take note of the following:

  • Both entities will swap sides whenever you change directions. The devil will remain in front of you at all times while the angel will always be behind you. One thing to keep in mind is that only the devil is capable of damaging you. While the angel also fires projectiles, it won’t be able to do any damage at all.
  • Make sure to avoid standing directly below the moving cloud. You can, however, ride it in order to avoid the flames. The reason is that it can periodically summon lightning which could hurt a lot.
  • Pay attention to the energy beam that moves across the screen every once in a while. It might be harmless if you’re facing the devil, but it can quickly turn into a column of flames if you look away. If this happens, you can either ride the moving cloud or dodge it as it passes by.

Once you’re able to defeat the secret boss, you will then unlock the What A Horrible Night to Have A Curse trophy.
