Watch Someone Finish Cuphead Without Taking Any Damage

Well done.

15 Comments

One of the standout elements of the newly released Xbox One and PC platformer/run-and-gun game Cuphead is its brutal difficulty. Now, someone has done the seemingly impossible: beating all 28 bosses with an A+ rank.

YouTube user Aeraloth (via Vg247) beat all the bosses on Regular difficulty, taking no damage in the process. The player also never used dodge or any charms, making the feat all the more impressive. You can watch the video below (as a commenter points out, Aeraloth took a hit at 25:49, but this was after the boss was beaten).

Aeraloth isn't done yet. Next up they say they want to complete the game on Expert with an S rank, also presumably with no damage taken. Aeraloth's YouTube page is filled with videos of incredible gaming feats such as beating every Witcher 3 boss on Death March difficulty and taking no damage. Nicely done.

In other news, Steamspy data suggests that Cuphead has sold more than 124,000 copies on PC in the four days following its release. There is no available sales data as of yet for the Xbox One version.

GameSpot's Cuphead review scored the Xbox One and PC game an 8/10.

"Cuphead has been a longtime coming, and it's great to see that it lives up to its initial promises. It's beautiful to look at, and with a pitch-perfect soundtrack, it flawlessly captures the era its developers so clearly revere," reviewer Peter Brown said. "It's also an intense action game that pulls no punches. It could benefit from a few tweaks, and two-player co-op doesn't feel like the valuable addition you might imagine, but Cuphead remains a rare, unique game that truly stands out."

I beat every boss in The Witcher 3 on Death March but I did not do it without taking damage. That's just insane.

Impressive, however like any run and gun like this practice and learning patterns is what leads to things like this. I only got to play it for a few hours but started to learn patterns pretty quickly after playing some bosses over and over.

@jhawk: Don't be a hater. Sure there's some luck involved just like anything else, but my hat's off to the guy.

@boardsport311: Not hating on this person, just pointing out that he's fortunate to have done such a feat on such a tough game. I give him props for all the impressive things he's done too. I try not to hate on anyone, "because hate leads to the Dark Side..."

This game comes down to study and learning and it will get a little easy but still even with that this is still a hard game. I am currently playing the game and I have already died a record setting 2 million times and I dare anyone in here to beat that record. This is one tuff game even harder than Friday The 13th NES which I also considered to be hard as FUC?
