Cuphead: How To Complete Mausoleums | Boss Guide

September 29, 2017 by Dennis Patrick

Everything you’ll need to know when battling Mausoleums.

Cuphead, developed by StudioMDHR Entertainment, is a run and gun platform indie title. Overall, the narrative follows Cuphead and his brother Mugman, as they end up making a terrible bet against the devil. Losing the bet, Cuphead and Mugman are forced to give their souls to the devil, but it seems that our protagonist duo can save themselves if they go out and collect debts.

The devil has a number of souls that are owed to him by other sorrowful cartoon characters. If Cuphead and Mugman can go out and collect all the souls then the devil may just allow them to keep their own souls in return. However, debt collecting is easier said than done, both Cuphead and Mugman will have a difficult road ahead of themselves.

Most of the game is based around boss battles and each can be rather difficult to go through. However, if you need a hand then look no further, we’re here to offer a guide on how to defeat each boss in the video game.

You will want to take notice that the game will force players to go through boss battles in regular mode in order to claim the souls. If you’re having a difficult time defeating a boss then go through the simple mode a few times to get the hang of things before attempting the regular session which will up the difficulty.

Without further ado, check out the boss guide down below along with our other boss guides for Cuphead.

Mausoleum Boss Guide

 

Throughout Cuphead, you’ll come across Mausoleums which are a means to gain rewards by completing. These are essentially boss battles where you’ll have to protect an urn from a series of ghosts looking to corrupt it.

As for the first Mausoleum you’ll come across in the game, you’ll have to parry a number of pink ghosts before they are able to reach the urn. If they reach the urn then it’s an instant death for Cuphead and Mugman.


Rewards

The first Mausoleum will grant players a new Super.

Super Art I

  • Energy Beam
    • A devastating attack spills from your head. Horizontal only.
