Unlocking Infinite Power: Your Guide to Unlimited Wishes in Cuphead’s DLC

So, you’re itching to bend the rules and wield godlike power in Cuphead’s “The Delicious Last Course” DLC? You’re in luck, because the key lies in harnessing the magic of Game Djimmi. However, getting infinite wishes isn’t as straightforward as spinning in circles forever.

Here’s the concise answer: You don’t get infinite wishes in the DLC itself, but the Djimmi will grant you infinite wishes once you’ve beaten the game. On your first play through however, the Game Djimmi can only be used three times on Inkwell Isle Four until Chef Saltbaker is defeated. In summary, beat Chef Saltbaker, and the genie’s bottle unleashes its full potential! Now, let’s dive deeper into the mechanics, strategies, and secrets surrounding this genie and how to maximize your advantage.

Mastering the Game Djimmi: A Comprehensive Guide

The Game Djimmi is your ticket to easier encounters, essentially granting you double health (6 HP instead of 3) for a boss fight. This can be a lifesaver, especially when tackling the challenging new bosses in Inkwell Isle IV. But understanding the Djimmi’s limitations and optimal usage is crucial.

Finding and Summoning the Djimmi

Summoning the Djimmi is delightfully simple. From the very beginning of the game or a new save file, all you need to do is stand in one place on the map and run in a tight circle. A giant version of Djimmi will then pop up and you may choose to be granted double health for your current encounter. This makes the game easier and more accessible.

When to Use Your Wishes

On your initial playthrough, the three-wish limit requires strategic thinking. Here are some considerations:

Prioritize Difficult Bosses: Save your wishes for the bosses that consistently give you trouble. Think of those with complex attack patterns or multiple phases.
Learning Curves: Use a wish on a new boss to get a feel for their attacks without the pressure of losing quickly. Consider it a “practice run” with extra padding.
Pacifist Runs: While seemingly counterintuitive, using the Djimmi can help you learn a boss’s movements, making subsequent pacifist attempts more informed and potentially easier.
Avoid Over-Reliance: Don’t become overly dependent on the extra health. It’s a crutch, not a cure. Focus on improving your dodging and parrying skills.

The Post-Saltbaker Genie

Once you’ve conquered Chef Saltbaker and saved the day, the Djimmi’s limitations vanish! Now you can summon him for every single boss fight, as many times as you want. This is where the “infinite wishes” aspect comes into play. This makes replaying bosses for fun, earning higher ranks, or experimenting with different builds significantly easier.

Using the Djimmi in the Base Game

It’s important to note that the DLC’s separate file structure means Game Djimmi can only be used three times on Inkwell Isle Four until Chef Saltbaker is defeated.

Ms. Chalice and the Djimmi: A Powerful Combination

Ms. Chalice, the new playable character introduced in the DLC, offers a unique playstyle with her dodge roll and invincibility frames. Combining her abilities with the Djimmi’s extra health can make you practically unstoppable.

Why Ms. Chalice Benefits from Extra Health

Forgiving Dodge Roll: Ms. Chalice’s dodge roll, while powerful, has a specific timing. The extra health grants more room for error while mastering this new mechanic.
Super Arts Focus: Ms. Chalice’s unique Super Arts, like the invincibility shield, are crucial for her gameplay. The Djimmi helps you survive long enough to charge these powerful abilities.
Adaptive Playstyle: Ms. Chalice encourages a more aggressive, in-your-face style. The extra health supports this risky approach, allowing you to experiment and learn the character’s limits.

Beyond the Wishes: Mastering the DLC

While the Djimmi provides a significant advantage, remember that “The Delicious Last Course” is designed to challenge you. Focusing on fundamentals is still key.

Essential Skills for Success

Parrying Mastery: Parrying is vital for both offense (charging your Super) and defense (avoiding certain attacks). Practice parrying consistently.
Pattern Recognition: Learn the attack patterns of each boss. Anticipate their moves and position yourself accordingly.
Weapon Optimization: Experiment with different weapons to find the combinations that suit your playstyle and the specific boss you’re facing. The DLC introduces new, powerful options.
Charm Selection: Choose charms that complement your playstyle and the boss’s weaknesses. Coffee, Smoke Bomb, and P. Sugar are all viable choices.

Achieving 100% Completion

To truly conquer the DLC, you’ll need to go beyond simply beating the bosses. Aim for:

A-Rank or Higher on All Bosses in Inkwell Isle IV: This requires near-perfect performance in terms of time, health, and parries.
Defeating All Bosses with Ms. Chalice: Explore the unique strategies and playstyle Ms. Chalice offers.
Lighting the Campfire: Talking to the cactus girl after defeating all bosses with Ms. Chalice unlocks a new skin.
