Cuphead Walkthrough Guide
World 3: Inkwell Isle III
World 3: Inkwell Isle III is set in a nice beachfront town. In this world there are seven bosses to fight and two Run and Gun levels to complete. There are also a couple of NPC quests you can complete which unlock new ways of viewing the game. Let’s get right to it.
Bosses:
As mentioned above, there are a total of seven boss fights in World 3. These boss fights can be found at the respective locations pictured below. For more information on each boss, check out our boss list.
Rumor Honeybottoms
Rumor Honeybottoms can be found inside the golden skyscraper immediately upon entering World 3. This is one of two possible available boss fights you will be able to fight when you first access World 3.
Captain Brineybeard
Captain Brineybeard is the other boss you will have access to when you first enter World 3. You can find this boss fight along the shore to the right. Look for a red boat that is docked. This is Captain Brineybeard’s boss level.
Werner Werman
Werner Werman can be found inside the middle ring area beside the clock. This area is accessible after beating Captain Brineybeard or Rumor Honeybottoms (and a Run and Gun). Look for the house in the picture above to find this boss.
Cala Maria
After beating Captain Brineybeard, you will find gain access to areas further along the shore. Along this area you will find Cala Maria. Cala Maria can be found near a turtle sitting on the dock. Interact with the shipwreck to access the boss level.
Dr. Kahl’s Robot
Along the road you access after beating Rumor Honeybottom, you will find a scrapyard. This scrapyard houses Dr. Kahl’s Robot. Access the small shed to start the boss fight.
Sally Stageplay
Sally Stageplay can be accessed either by walking along the shore, or taking the shortcut past Dr. Kahl’s. Look for the theatre and you will find the Sally Stageplay fight.
Phantom Express
The final boss of World 3 can be found across the bridge besides the Theatre. Here you will see an old train on the tracks. Interact with the train to start the Phantom Express fight.
World 3 Shortcut
The shortcut in World 3 can be found behind Dr. Kahl’s scrapyard. Head to the area the first picture and take a right. This allows you to access the Theatre from this side of the map instead of walking all the way around.
Run and Gun
There are two Run and Gun levels in World 3 that can be completed. These levels can be found along the shore near Captain Brineybeard’s and along the road you unlock after beating Rumor Honeybottoms.
Run and Gun 1
Along the road you unlock after beating Rumor Honeybottoms, you will find the first Run and Gun.
Run and Gun 2
After you beat Captain Brineybeard, you will find the Run and Gun level just across the bridge that lowers.
Shop
The World 3 shop can be found in the center area near the fork NPC. You need to beat Captain Brineybeard to access the area right away.
Mausoleum 3
The Mausoleum 3 challenge is located close to the shop in this world. Beating this challenge unlocks the third and final super, Giant Ghost.
NPCs
There are a couple of NPCs in World 3 which are tied to Cuphead’s secret achievements. These NPC quests are way more difficult than those found in World 2. The NPCs can be found in the pictures below.
Fork
The Fork npc can be found near the shop. This NPC wants you to reach a certain grade in every level before he will consider you worthy (Grade A people). This unlocks an interesting filter you can apply to the game.
Turtle
Like the Fork, a Turtle subtly hints at what he wants you to accomplish. This NPC wants you to pacifist run through all six Run and Gun levels. Doing this unlocks an interesting filter you can apply to the game to change its look.
Exit
No that I’ve highlighted everything of interest in World 3, let’s move onto Cuphead’s Finale (aka The Casino). Here you will face off against the two major baddies in the game, King Dice and the Devil.
This concludes our World 3 guide. If you require more assistance, check out our boss list and hidden coin pages for more information.
