圣杯小姐完全指南 / Ms. Chalice Complete Guide#

Ms. Chalice is a new playable character added in the DLC, featuring a completely different ability set from Cuphead and Mugman. Using the Astral Cookie charm transforms into Ms. Chalice during levels. Her abilities include:

二段跳跃 / Double Jump#

圣杯小姐可以在空中进行第二次跳跃,大幅提高机动性。这是她最重要的能力,可以让她轻松到达普通角色无法抵达的位置。在弹幕躲避方面,二段跳跃提供了更多的滞空时间和位置调整空间。

Ms. Chalice can perform a second jump in mid-air, greatly improving mobility. This is her most important ability, letting her easily reach positions inaccessible to normal characters. In bullet dodging, double jump provides more airtime and position adjustment space.

全新 BOSS 攻略 / New Bosses Guide#

The DLC features five new bosses, each meticulously designed with unique attack patterns and spectacular visual effects.

盐焗师 / Chef Saltbaker#

The final boss, located at the top of Inkwell Isle IV. Chef Saltbaker is a mad chef, with the battle taking place in a giant kitchen. He has five phases, each with entirely new attack patterns.

Saltbaker throws various kitchen utensils and ingredients. Fire zones on the ground deal continuous damage. Parry pink pot lids for energy. Recommended: Chaser for sustained damage while focusing on dodging.

Saltbaker jumps into a giant mixing bowl, transforming into a blender form. The bowl opening sprays ingredient projectiles while batter waves advance across the ground. This phase requires precise jump timing to avoid batter waves.

Saltbaker attacks with a giant rolling pin as the arena becomes a cutting board. The rolling pin sweeps and slams while dough minions appear. Prioritize clearing minions to avoid being overwhelmed.

Final form — Saltbaker transforms into a giant demon chef. Attack speed reaches maximum with screen-filling bullet patterns requiring extremely fast reactions. This is one of the most challenging phases in the game. Stay calm and only attack during safe windows.

月光帮 / The Moonshine Mob#

A gang of three animals: Sheriff Frog, Ms. Snake, and a member of the Howling Aves. Each member has an independent phase.

Cowboy-style frog using revolvers, with straight and bouncing bullet trajectories. Pink bullets can be parried. The frog also summons sandstorms that obscure vision. Familiarize yourself with the map layout and rely on memory for positioning during sandstorms.

嚎叫王牌 / Howling Aces#

A three-phase airplane level boss, initially a mechanical airship that transforms into different aerial forms in subsequent phases.

The core boss appears as a monster with mechanical wings. Attacks include laser sweeps and tracking missiles. Use the plane compact hitbox to navigate through laser gaps.

其他 BOSS / Other Bosses#

裂纹射击 / Crack Shot#

The trajectory flies straight then splits into three homing projectiles. Each projectile deals approximately 80% of normal shot damage, but three hits together deal substantial damage. Suitable for large bosses and battles with minions.

汇聚 / Converge#

射程越远伤害越高、精度越高。在最大射程时伤害达到峰值。适合喜欢远程风筝的玩家,可以在安全距离持续输出。近战使用时伤害较低,建议搭配一把近战武器 / Longer range yields higher damage and precision. Damage peaks at maximum range. Suitable for players who prefer kiting from distance, maintaining safe-range damage output. Close-range damage is lower — pair with a melee weapon.
