Cuphead Walkthrough Guide
World 2: Inkwell Isle II
Entrance to Inkwell Isle I
World 2: Inkwell Isle II is set in a fair. In this world there are five bosses to fight and two Run and Gun levels to complete. There are also a couple of NPC quests you can complete as well as a nice nod to Dark Souls. Let’s jump in.
When you enter World 2, you have a choice of three bosses to fight in the first area. These bosses are Baroness Von Bon Bon, Djimmi The Great, and Beppi the Clown. For to see which boss level is which, check out the pictures below. If you want more in depth strategy, check out our Boss list post.
Baroness Von Bon Bon
Located to the left of the World 2 entrance is Boness Von Bon Bon’s boss level. You can tell it is her level as the house itself is made of candy. Completing this boss fight opens up the tent to the right and gives access to the Birdhouse and a Run and Gun.
Djimmi The Great
To the right of Baroness Von Bon Bon’s level is a pyramid. Here you will find Djimmi The Great. Beating this fight opens up the pathway to the left of the pyramid and grants access to the World 2 shop as well as Grim Matchstick and a Run and Gun.
Beppi The Clown
Head to the right of Djimmi’s Pyramid and you will reach Beppi’s level. The level itself is a rollercoaster. Beating the Beppi fight opens up the tent to the left of the boss fight.
Man Short Quartet
You may have noticed a quartet that is missing a fourth member. This member can be found in the area with the Run and Gun after beating Baroness Von Bon Bon. Head to the location in the second picture to find the fourth member. Talking to him will return him to the group and unlocks a nice song.
Dark Souls Homage
If you are curious over how many times you’ve died in Cuphead, or just want to see a cartoony version of Dark Souls’ Kingseeker Frampt, head to the right of Beppi’s boss level. You will see a pool that look vaguely familiar. Interact with the pool to learn how many times you’ve died.
More Bosses
After completing the first area, you will have two bosses left to battle. The boss levels can be found in the pictures below.
Grim Matchstick
Grim Matchstick resides in this tower. You can find the tower tucked in the back upper corner of the world. Look for the Juggler NPC nearby.
Wally Warbles
Wally Warbles can be found in the birdhouse after defeating Baroness Von Bon Bon.
Run and Gun
There are two Run and Gun levels in World 2. These levels contain 5 coins a piece. To see where they are located, check out the pictures below.
The first Run and Gun can be found beside the Gingerbread Girl in the area before the Wally Warbles boss fight.
The second Run and Gun can be found near World 2’s exit. It can be accessed by beating either Beppi the Clown or Djimmi.
Shop
The Shop for World 2 is located on the island in the middle of the world. It is accessible after clearing any of the first three bosses.
Mausoleum 2
The Mausoleum 2 challenge can be located to the left of Grim Matchstick’s boss level. You can access by either beating Grim Matchstick or Wally Warbles. Beating this challenge unlocks the Invincibility Super.
NPCs
There are a couple of NPCs in this level which will give you a coin for completing certain their task.
Gingerbread Girl
Gingerbread Girl can be found in front of Wally Warbles boss level beside the Run and Gun stage. Her challenge to you is to find a shortcut inside World 2. See shortcut below.
Juggler
The Juggler can be found outside of Grim Matchstick’s tower. His challenge to you is to parry four times without touching the ground.
World 2 Shortcut
The World 2 shortcut connect Grim Matchstick and Wally Warbles boss levels together. To access the shortcut, go behind Wally Warbles boss level and head to the right behind some mountains. You will come out beside Grim Matchstick’s tower (can be taken in reverse order as well).
Exit to World 3
That concludes everything of interest in World 2 of Cuphead. When ready, make your way to the World 2 exit, which can be found in the lower right corner of the world (near the second Run and Gun level).
This concludes our World 2 guide. If you require more assistance, check out our boss list and hidden coin pages for more information.
