I always thought Root Pack was the first boss because it introduces you to ho bosses will be like way better than Goopy. -They show how phases work. One is on the side, one can be on the middle, and one can be in the very back. -They introduce to way more Parry opportunities than Goopy. And not to mention its more complex in comparison lol

@MrKap 8 ай бұрын

Well, I feel like what you're saying is proving my point. Goopy is so basic, that he's MEANT to be the VERY first boss you fight against. Then after you learn about different boss phases and mechanics. It's the only placement Goopy makes sense in, in my opinion.

@Mikescool444 8 ай бұрын

⁠@@MrKap yeah, it’s like some form of multi-stage tutorials The actual tutorial shows you the mechanics that you’ll be utilizing. Goopy introduces the concept of bosses, dodging and attacking, and phase transitions. Then the root pack introduces a proper overarching theme between phases, varied patterns, different play styles, and finally how to capitalize off of reacting quickly to parry bullets.

I 100% agree that Mortimer Freeze is the most un-fun boss to s rank in this game. Usually when u play a cuphead boss, they’re well designed enough to a point where if you can’t beat a boss, it’s most likely because you lack the skill. However, with Mortimer, I literally CANT beat the boss because of how inconsistent his parries are. It has nothing to do with how skilled I am, it comes down to RNG and I hate it

I really liked this tierlist and a lot of the reasoning you had! If I had to complain about one thing, it’s that you mentioned the fight being easier a lot once you’re familiar for controversial placements like 22:26, but mentioned at 32:23 that this part is difficult because you have to get familiar. Just a small nit-picky observation, great video!

@MrKap 7 ай бұрын

Thank you for the comment! I wanted to add that, just because I said something similar for bosses in different tiers doesn't necessarily mean anything. And also, I'm not sure I get what you mean about your observation? For that particular phase of Wally, yes, once you get comfortable with the eggshells, the phase becomes much easier to consistently pass, but what does that have to do with the "controversial placements"?

@BerdlyGaming 7 ай бұрын

@@MrKap It was mostly just because of the context you brought each thing up in. It seemed like you downplayed the scroll mechanic of rumor’s fight as something that shouldn’t really be considered since you just get used to it, but brought up the eggshells as a difficult obstacle that contributes to the boss being so difficult. Orrrr I was tired and had no idea what I was talking about cause I watched the video and made this comment a bit after I woke up :p I was probably searching for something to comment on after I got concerned why baroness was placed above glumstone lol.

In my opinion, The Robot is easier than say: Wally Warbles, because he is predictable. The laser just tracks you, the parry laser always does the same thing, and the S-missiles at the bottom always follow the same path. Then, the bolts blast always has the same pattern, the hands/magnet always does the same thing, and the bombs are just bombs. For Wally, his attacks are random, he flies up and down so the eggs are always shot at different locations, Willy feels so RNG with his movements and the spinning egg shield is crazy

I think goopy and the root pack are both *the* tutorial bosses because they both introduce you to different basics. As another commenter said, the root pack show you different boss positions, teaches you to jump and shoot a static boss with basic parries, and obvious distinctions between phases. Goopy teaches you to be more adaptable with your dodges, how to duck and dash, how to shoot a moving target, and chaining parries Lots of different basic mechanics to teach

A good strat for The final boss of the DLC is to bring chaser with the crack shot, use chaser for when he is far but switch to crack shot when he is near you, then in the second phase focus on whittling down multiple of the damage enemies instead of focusing on one row because even with the chaser (which makes whittling multiple at once way easier) as long as you target multiple of them at once you will do decent damage, finally use crackshot for third then chaser for fourth since as long as you cleared second efficiently you should be good

@oscaratriano8534 5 ай бұрын

the strat i use is chaser charged shot, first phase i use chaser for everything 2nd phase u can kill the pepper things with a charged shot and one uncharged so u can kill the bottom 2 at a fairly fast pace (and if you're chalice her invincible roll is phenomenal for this phase of the fight) kill 3rd phase with charged (2 hits) then sweep last phase with chaser might not be the best for s ranks but its still a great combo for the fight (i get crackshot chaser tho, crackshot can help so much with the dough sheep that come in the first phase)

It would be pretty different. Many bosses you wouldn't have to worry about the HP requirement for, you now have to (unless you bring Twin Hearts to every fight). You also miss out on using Ms. Chalice and Crackshot, which are both really good. I don't think it would be DRASTICALLY different, but bosses that were easier would be harder, and bosses that were already hard (Wally Warbles for example) just become S tier hard. Everything else in the normal tiers would probably be at least similar if not the same imo.

This is why this is so subjective in reality, because if I said that in this video, I would've gotten absolutely bombarded with messages saying the opposite. Now objectively, I believe this is not an easy boss and takes skill to get past and beat, especially his last phase, and I believe I ranked him very fairly on the list. But I still get people everyday judging my placement on all the bosses, including Dr Kahl saying I ranked them too high, which I find crazy from an objective POV. And that goes for all my tier lists, including the Run 'n Gun tier list Short series I'm doing currently. Pretty much every Short of those, people are commenting I'm wrong lol. At this point, everyone has their own view of reality and we should try to all be accepting of that if it fits within reason, which I don't mind your reality; Dr Kahl really is pretty difficult without much knowledge of what to do.

Something I do to make saltbaker’s 2nd phase easier is bring charge. Each pepper shaker dies with 1 full charge and a simple tap of uncharged. Also be sure to also hit the top peppers with the same technique as the previous one on the bottom is in the middle of the “hitting saltbaker” animation. Seriously makes the 2nd phase a joke. At least to me it does. 3rd phase is kind of a joke too since 3 charged shots kill it. Yes, I’m serious.

Chef Saltbaker truly gave me the most trouble out of all bosses. I played with Miss Chalice, Super art 2, charge and crackshot And damn, it was hard. The first time I beat it on expert I missed one parry, after that I wouldn't make it to thelast phase for like another 50 attempts But by far the worst thing that could happened to me was being at the last phase with 4 hp, an active shield pal and 5 cards to activate another one. AND JUST BECAUSE OF NERVES I GOT HIT 4 CONSECUTIVE TIMES, INSTANTLY LOSING THE HP REQUIREMENT. That happened to me twice. Now that I have beaten it I don't feel nervous at all, and even got S rank in my first try when I started a new file. As a final tip, I highly recommend Chaser over Crackshot, because it never misses at the last phase.

I'll co-sign on the Hilda placement. I remember a few years ago when I was trying to S-rank everything. On the first island, Cagney, Roots and Goopy were fairly trivial. Ribby and Croaks took about 30 minutes. Hilda took FOUR FREAKING HOURS. Just nasty work all around.

The clouds go in reverse in expert? That makes it a hell of a lot easier to beat. The damage racks up so much faster on the last phase.

As much as I love both this video and your first one, I will say I think sometimes you talk about cheesing the bosses a bit too much. I'm curious about your rankings if we're actually doing them the intended way, other than that, great video!

@MrKap 8 ай бұрын

I believe it's hard to accurately rank a tier list without accounting for other methods. So in this case, a lot of bosses have tricks that bypass some part of their fight, whether it be an attack or the whole phase. These methods are too effective for me to NOT have them affect the tier list in this case. In any case, most bosses under the Tests Your Mettle tier become so unbelievably easy because of the DLC, that in the end it doesn't really matter lol. I do say that the bosses are too easy and talk about cheesy tricks a lot yes, but I wouldn't be mentioning it if it wasn't vital to why I have the boss ranked where it is. I appreciate your support and I appreciate the comment! 😁

@@MrKap You make an excellent point! Can't argue with that. I haven't actually got the DLC yet so for me my list would look very different but when I eventually get it, I'll probably go back and S rank all the bosses. If you haven't already checked it out btw, I highly recommend hollow knight as a platformer, as its 43 bosses all have a hitless mode if you'm like a good tough masochistic challenge like I do

I havent even beaten the game yet but i do plan on s ranking all bosses and after waching this im so terified of wally. When i played trough the game, the 2 bosses that gave me the most trouble were wally and beppy wich i had to beat on easy and then come back for them. I did a+ rank a good chunk of the bosses tho and some of of those you said were hard were actually really easy for me but maybe its different on expert idk

17:14 Which control option did you use for that phase? A, which keeps your normal movement directions during the flip, or B, which makes you move left and right when you move the stick up and down?🤔🎮

Just the normal controls. Easy to get used to and preferable for spamming EX's and whatnot.

wally is easier to beat if during the egg phase, you go either above or below the eggs all the way against the left of the screen and the shells wont hit you, as for the bombs easily go above or between them, avoid birds :)

I've just picked up the DLC about a week or so and I realized I hadn't S rank any of the flying boss (except for that damn bird, I remember having a hard time on him, maybe he made me gave up on the flying bosses!) I found Hilda very simple as Ms Chalice, her shot that spread kills minions and blue stars easily.

@pokeinator7834 2 ай бұрын

I feel like some bosses from not too hard can be promoted,maybe ester,glumstone and gimmi The dragon is REALLY TOUGH for some people but really not anything for others so i think he can stay in not too hard but leaning towards the top of the tier

@MrKap 2 ай бұрын

I tried not letting player influence, well, influence the tier list as much as possible. I didn't want to cater this tier list to everyone and rather take as much of an objective stance as possible that purely looks at what's going on and how much can be avoided and/or countered. Esther for example, while not easy, does have ways to counter her mechanics and make her easier, but the rest is up to the player, so right below Tests Your Mettle makes sense. Grim Matchstick is also a good example. Many of his mechanics are extremely easy to counter, but you kinda have to know or be familiar with those mechanics to counter them easily as well as have the right load out, so right at Not Too Hard I thought was a very generous place to put him.

I personally don't think Cala Maria is in "Tests your Mettle", It took me around 5 attempts to S-Rank her I'm not kidding, and I'm not even that great of a player. I would say her last phase is kind of tricky with how often she SPAMS her unavoidable petrification attack but what you need to do in order to evade it is rather than just playing through the boss normally then spamming all of your keys when you freeze up, when you see the stone ghost incoming position yourself in a location where you can't get hit by something that's coming up like a bubble skull or a spiked rotator. I would say this boss is in the lower part of "Not Too Hard" though I get your reasoning, you do bring up a fair point however I feel like she's just more of an annoying boss to S-Rank then a truly difficult one. But I'll give you this, *I FULLY SUPPORT THAT HILDA BERG TAKE.*

Well u can get the points for the divine relic easily, just start with the easiest bosses first, beating root pack and goopy already upgrades the broken relic and makes it less bad, king dice gives 4 points so then it gets upgraded yet again and at that point it’s no longer terrible and theres several of the easier bosses u could beat to finally upgrade it to divine relic. + u can do all of that in regular mode, doesnt need to be expert
