stage have a <strong>gold cup<\/strong> instead of a white one, and the checkmark on the scorecard will now be a <strong>star<\/strong>.<\/li>\n<li><strong>How long does it take to 100% Cuphead?<\/strong>: When focusing on the main objectives, <strong>Cuphead<\/strong> is about <strong>10\u00bd Hours<\/strong> in length, but to obtain <strong>100% completion<\/strong>, players are likely to spend around <strong>25\u00bd Hours<\/strong>.<\/li>\n<li><strong>What is the final boss in Cuphead?<\/strong>: The <strong>Devil<\/strong>, for whom <strong>Cuphead<\/strong> and <strong>Mugman<\/strong> are collecting the soul contracts, serves as the main antagonist and final boss of the game.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Does Cuphead have 2 endings?<\/strong>: <strong>Cuphead<\/strong> has at least two endings, depending on whether <strong>Cuphead<\/strong> and <strong>Mugman<\/strong> agree to hand over the soul contracts to <strong>The Devil<\/strong> or not in the final level, <strong>One Hell of a Time<\/strong>.<\/li>\n<li><strong>What are the 3 secret bosses in Cuphead?<\/strong>: With the addition of <strong>The Delicious Last Course DLC<\/strong>, there are now four bosses that have a <strong>Secret Phase<\/strong>, including <strong>The Root Pack<\/strong>, <strong>Djimmi The Great<\/strong>, <strong>Sally Stageplay<\/strong>, and <strong>The Howling Aces<\/strong>.<\/li>\n<li><strong>What is the 300% in Cuphead?<\/strong>: The <strong>300%<\/strong> completion refers to completing the main game and <strong>DLC<\/strong> content, requiring players to complete the game on <strong>Normal<\/strong> and <strong>Expert Mode<\/strong>, buy everything in the shop, and collect all coins.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Is Cuphead the hardest game to beat?<\/strong>: While <strong>Dark Souls<\/strong> is notoriously difficult, <strong>Cuphead<\/strong> has proved that true punishment comes not from enemy difficulty but defeat by the smallest mistakes, making it a challenging game to beat.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Is Cuphead Devil hard?<\/strong>: The <strong>Devil<\/strong> is a formidable opponent, with multiple stages and moves, but studying his habits and patterns can help players overcome this challenging boss fight.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Can you beat Cuphead without killing anyone?<\/strong>: To earn the <strong>Pacifist Achievement\/Trophy<\/strong>, players must earn a <strong>P-rank<\/strong> on all <strong>Run &#8216;n Gun<\/strong> levels without firing at any enemies, although parrying is still allowed.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Can you 200 percent Cuphead?<\/strong>: Achieving <strong>200% completion<\/strong> requires completing the main game, buying all items, and collecting all coins, with any extra coins potentially being glitched.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Does Chalice work for the Devil?<\/strong>: In the game, <strong>Chalice<\/strong> has no relation with <strong>The Devil<\/strong>, aside from being turned into <strong>Ms. Malice<\/strong>, while in the show, she owed a deal with him to get herself back to life.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Can you revive Cuphead?<\/strong>: A partner can spend a <strong>Parry token<\/strong> to revive <strong>Cuphead<\/strong>, who will then return with <strong>1 health<\/strong> and rejoin the battle at the start of the next round.<\/li>\n<li><strong>What is the hardest game ever?<\/strong>: The title of the hardest game ever is subjective, but games like <strong>Demon&#8217;s Souls<\/strong>, <strong>Dark Souls<\/strong>, <strong>Ghosts &#8216;n Goblins<\/strong>, and <strong>Ninja Gaiden II<\/strong> are often considered among the most challenging.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Is Cuphead story dark?<\/strong>: While <strong>Cuphead<\/strong> is suitable for all ages, its story deals with mature themes like <strong>gambling<\/strong> and <strong>selling one&#8217;s soul to the Devil<\/strong>, which may not be suitable for younger audiences without proper guidance.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Conclusion\"><\/span>Conclusion<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><strong>Beating Cuphead<\/strong> is a significant achievement, but it&#8217;s only the beginning of a new journey for players.
