How to unlock Graveyard Puzzle boss in Cuphead: The Delicious Last Course

In fitting fashion, the solution to the Graveyard Puzzle can be just as painstaking as an actual boss if you don’t know what you’re doing! Unlocking the secret boss will come down to randomly generated factors, so there isn’t one set solution for all.

Here’s a detailed step-by-step guide to follow:

  1. You first need to unlock the Graveyard by defeating several of the first area’s bosses.
  2. Get your hands on a coin and purchase the ‘Broken Relic’ from Porkrind’s Shop.
  3. Now, go and speak to the three climbers standing on a podium near the mountain.
  4. We advise you to write down each and every clue that they utter as this will be key to solving the puzzle.
  5. Also, make a note of where they are on the podium as this will determine the order of the tombstones.
  6. You will need to interact with several tombstones in a certain order.
  7. The climber’s phrases are different for everyone e.g “ain’t right they came in third” means the third tombstone will be on the very right.
  8. You will need to pick out the keywords in each piece of dialog to help you decipher the correct positions of the tombstones.
  9. Equip the ‘Broken Relic’ and interact with the tombstones in the order you think is correct, and if successful, the middle tombstone will glow.
  10. If you interact with it, your character will be taken straight to the secret Angel and Devil boss fight.

Hopefully, you’re able to use the information and come up with the right solution to the fiendish Gravestone Puzzle to unlock the secret boss fight.
