How to get started with Cuphead's "The Delicious Last Course" DLC?

The long-awaited downloadable content pack for Cuphead "The Delicious Last Course" is finally available. Since its announcement four years ago, gamers have been counting down the days in anticipation of the promised content expansion for the modern 2D platform game. Now their wait is over.

After a series of announcements regarding numerous delays, many gamers believed that the expansion was in jeopardy. Some may even have considered the possibility that the game was canceled. However, this suspicion was quickly put to rest yesterday after the content launched on all platforms.

As many players keeping up with the DLC know, this pack features an entirely new island for players to explore and new bosses to challenge. However, considering that this map is not part of the standard game, players have to access the map in a new way. Fortunately, this is pretty simple to do.

Access to Cuphead: "Delicious Last Course" DLC

The process of gaining access to this DLC is quite simple as it is integrated into the game's standard path for a gameplay. For players who want a concise and organized version of how to find this area of ​​the DLC, here is a list of steps:

Enter the first area of ​​the game or start a new file

Go to the first mausoleum, the big white building by the river

Complete the mausoleum challenge

Talk to the new NPC that appears outside the building next to the boat

Of course, this is just a condensed guide to accessing DLC ​​and may not be helpful to players trying the game for the first time since new content has been released.

Step One: Finding the Mausoleum

Cuphead's base game features three areas and a final world that hosts the final two boss fights. However, to access the extra content, players will need to turn their attention to the first island.

Those who wish to travel to the new island with a previously completed registration dossier, simply return to the first island. Thus, the saves and progress in their main profile will remain untouched, which saves a lot of time and headaches compared to players having to start a new game.

The mausoleum is a structure found on each of the islands except the last area. These buildings host a level that requires players to protect a chalice from ghosts. Upon completion, the player will be greeted by the spirit of Miss Chalice, giving the player a special ability to equip and use.

Only the first mausoleum needs to be completed to access the DLC in Cuphead. The building is located in the southeast part of the map. If players have already completed this level in their game, they do not need to enter the battle and can proceed directly to the next step.

Step 3: Talk to the Ferry

The last step required to access Cuphead's DLC is to talk to an NPC. The boatman spawns after players have completed the previous steps and appears just outside the mausoleum. If players have already completed the mausoleum challenge before purchasing the DLC, Ferryman will already be there and waiting.
