Cuphead's The Delicious Last Course DLC gives players the opportunity to travel to a brand-new island and face its numerous challenges. That said, fans cannot engage with this new content immediately upon starting a file, as there are some prerequisites that they must first fulfill. Fortunately, that can be done very quickly, and players can access Cuphead's The Delicious Last Course DLC not long after the beginning of the base game.

How to Start Cuphead: The Delicious Last Course DLC

In order to start the Delicious Last Course DLC, players must complete Cuphead's first Mausoleum. While there are a couple of ways to reach this level, here is the simplest option for those fans that want to jump into the expansion's content as quickly as possible:

  2. Cross the bridge, making sure to stop and talk to Apple for some free Coins.
  3. Complete Forest Follies, the Run and Gun level in Cuphead that is just past the bridge.
  4. Cross the new bridge that appears and head downward to the reach the first Mausoleum.
  5. Parry Slap all the pink ghosts to free the Legendary Chalice and complete Mausoleum I.

Players should now find that a new NPC has appeared in front of the first Mausoleum, and talking to them will reveal that the Legendary Chalice needs help on a far off isle. The character will be happy to take fans to that isle by boat, and they can begin their journeys simply by selecting "yes" when they are prompted to depart. This action will trigger a cutscene that marks the beginning of Cuphead's The Delicious Last Course DLC.

To note, players that prefer to access the DLC on an old save file can absolutely do so. Indeed, these fans should receive a message indicating that the ferryman has arrived upon starting the game, and it will also note the location where the NPC can be found. If that does not occur, then the Cuphead player should confirm that they have both purchased and installed the Delicious Last Course DLC and then restart the game.

For those fans that are curious about what they will find once they have started the DLC, the new island is home to 12 bosses. While players need not defeat all of these enemies in order to reach the credits, doing so is a great way to increase the length of Cuphead's The Delicious Last Course DLC. Fans can also extend their time with the expansion by pursuing all its new achievements.

Cuphead: The Delicious Last Course is available now on PC, PS4, Switch, and Xbox One.
