Can You Beat Cuphead Using Only Whetstone on Expert? (Inkwell 1)

Join me as I try to beat Cuphead without Shooting, Special Arts, EX Moves, or Dashing on expert mode. I'll also ban the use of 2-player mode unless a boss is literally impossible without it. This run will be done on a new file to get coins for charms, but use my completed file so I can fight bosses on expert mode. The bosses are sure to give us a tough time with unrelenting attacks, summons, and the inherent Cuphead boss difficulty. We might just have to sell our souls to the Devil to get out of this one!
Also, I know the youtube algorithm isn't a casino. That was just a joke. Susan isn't the Devil too.

I had the same problem with Hilda-burg. The only reason I had problems with the ufos is because of the stars, if those were gone, those ufo would’ve been easy to predict, since the color determines their attack pattern.

@hepic2874 Год назад

Just got an s-rank on her too. God she was a hard fight. Anyway here's my opinion on what makes each Isle 1 boss hard to s-rank. Root pack- faster attacks, in particular ollie onion guy. Goopy le grande-ima be honest, probably faster attacks but I found him still really easy. Cagney carnation- why won't he stop shooting so many seed pellets, why is the parryable one on the other side of the screen, why is he doing that cover half the screen when a blue boomerang fan thing is hurtling towards me on the other side? Ribby and croaks- this was about the same difficulty as cagney, but I beat it faster. Granted the only issue was timing and waiting for the coins to stop shooting. Hilda burg. I hope this boss goes up in flames like the hindenburg, as this was hell. I used ms chalice for the latter 3 bosses so that made it easier since an extra hit point but why oh why would I get the genemi spinny circle with TWO green things shooting at me? Why would I somehow make it to the last phase and get hit twice just before a knockout? I'm no barely Alec in skill but I will respect anyone who can beat hilda burg and get an s-rank. I literally did Dr kahl's robot on expert and won in 2 tries (used health parry ring and finished in 2 minutes 59 seconds) which was easier than all of hilda burg. I just noticed you said hildeburg and I'm too lazy to edit so sorry if I got it wrong.

@danielleb1126 2 года назад

I love how you made the intro and paired it with the rest of the video but I was hoping you would talk about how the NOT funny crashed your stream so you could use it as a motivator for beating them for the video and I have a tip for the video when you put parts of your practice runs or in the video you should put demo in the corner of the screen like what gamechamp3000 does so people know it is from one of your practice runs (I know you put small text in the corner telling people that the part of the video is using you practice run footage but it is a a bit to small and disappears after awhile)

@BarelyAlec 2 года назад

Thanks, I'm glad you liked the intro! Both of your ideas could definitely improve the video. I initially scripted the not funny frogs part to include Gabe pretending to be Ribby and Croaks in chat but couldn't do it since youtube uses updated names and profile pictures in past stream chats. When I cut that, I didn't replace it with anything so the stream crash could have been a good replacement. I've done things like how gamechamp does it where I put demo or demonstration but I felt it would be more distracting pointing out practice runs since most attempts weren't practice runs anyway and all that matters is that I beat one run legitimately. But there's probably a good middle ground between what I did and what you suggest. I'll try to improve it next video for sure!

@nillnill7258 Год назад

If you end up softlocked behind a boss by sheer difficulty, you should consider getting the divine relic. It has the effect of the whetstone, and even with the smoke bomb effect being irrelevant because of no dashing, it also has the effect of gaining health for parries.

@linhero797 Год назад

A few months back I actually started this challnenge myself, it was quite a fun time. I absolutely enjoyed it. Despite how difficult it was, I did come out on top and suceed in this challenge. However I did allow Super Arts and only Super Arts as well as the WhetStone. The only reason I made an exception for the Super Arts was because I believed the WhetStone wasn't capable of hitting ariel bosses. (Kinda in a way that the Smoke Charm does nothing in Ariel Bosses. I thought it would be like that)

@BarelyAlec Год назад

That's an understandable assumption to make. Are you going to try the flying levels again with whetstone only now that you know it can be used there?

@bingobo2551 Год назад

Personally I think single heart charm is the worst one especially when the twin heart charm & heart restoration charm exist axe charm can be kinda usefull as a defacto double jump or self defence on air plane levels. I think that they should make it so you can actually use the axe ability more times in the air the more cards you have such as having 2 cards can allow you to axe 3 times or having 5 cards can allow you to do 6 axe parrys. Edit: I’m just talking about the charms in general not the charms in the challenge and had a few thoughts on a small buff to wheelstone.

@BarelyAlec Год назад

It would be really interesting if more cards meant more Whetstone hits! I like that idea as it would also tie in with how Whetstone doesn't even give cards for dealing damage for some reason

@bestaround3323 Год назад

I mean twin heart has a 10% damage reduction, which is a bit more impactful then the 5% damage reduction heart gives. Heart ring also has the downside of the first six parrys not giving super meter, which is an important thing to consider.

@bingobo2551 Год назад

This is an amazingly well made video for such a relatively unknown RU-vidr. I genuinely didn't realize it was an hour long until I was almost finished with it. Very dedicated to the challenge, comedy went well, all the good stuff. One thing I would like to point out, though. There were a few sections that felt like they dragged on a little bit more than they should, mainly "final attempt" segments. This can easily be fixed by simply trimming them down. Also, 3 minutes of silent intro was *maybe* a tad much, though I did enjoy the parody with the paint drawings lol Overall, though, this doesn't detract from the experience too much at all, and the problems aren't that hard to fix. Good job on the video (and the challenge!), definitely earned a like and a sub :)

I loved watching this video. Thanks for suffering for our entertainment! I hope you'll make a part 2 or 3. Keep up the good work. Although I think there are a few bosses that you can't reach by jumping...good luck.

@BarelyAlec Год назад

Thanks, glad you enjoyed it! I'm planning on using 2-player mode for the extra height from reviving a ghost to solve that issue. There still might be some impossible bosses though

You're really good at video games dude. I can't wait to see your channel explode in popularity you deserve it!

@Annex_canada Год назад

Absolutely inspiring video, man! Definitely can't believe a human could've done this... really nice work! P.S.: A strategy I have for the bull attack on Ribby and Croaks is to stick to the left side of the screen, and simply jump or stay still depending on which way the laser will fire. You will automatically slide off of the platform once it leaves view, so you can stay in place the entire attack.

@BarelyAlec Год назад

Oh, that sounds like a good strategy! Are you able to consistently dodge the attacks without pausing that way?

Absolute madman, I wouldn’t have even had the patience to beat the first boss lmao I can’t imagine how frustrating Cala Maria is gonna be with this, especially her third phase. The airplane levels in general seem really infuriating

@BarelyAlec Год назад

Yeah airplane levels are really weird for this challenge. Not looking forward to any of them really...

@Madmandr._sam Год назад

actually i think 3rd phase will be easiest because there is a method where if you just stand still really close the attacks dont hit you. all you need to do is move up or down when there is a spiked wall

@Andreguayta Год назад

Actually. Cala Maria is going to be the easiest plane level by far because in the second phase. You can go behind Cala Maria and hit she without any problem and in the third phase. you can stay in front of Cala Maria and only the spikes can hit you
