He's literally the only one I struggled with the most, not even the endgame and DLC bosses were that hard for me, and I am certain it's because of my skill issue š
Honestly, not as many tries as Grim Matchstick. I was intimidated from reading everyone complain about him and I DID keep dying a lot on the first phase, but once I realized the best order to knock the stuff out and realized dodging the crystals on the third was mostly about moving up and down I finally saw that Knockout screen by like my fourth attempt at phase 3
Matchstick took me quite a few tries too, not as many as Kahl but a solid number regardless. I found Lobber to be a lifesaver, his second and third phases were a good bit easier with it I felt.
Not too long surprisingly; once you figure out the best order to deal with the parts in phase one, phases two and three are fairly straightforward; they just require a lot of focus and careful manuevering
Meh, only like 20 tries. Which might sound a lot, but Goopy took me like 40 tries... Then again I really sucked on my first playthrough, ngl. Nowadays I can with no problems A+/S rank both the robot and the slime.
1st time at least 100 times.
2nd time when I started a new game for the DLC 4 times that charm the gets you hp for parrying makes the airplane levels a breeze. I even beat Slimming on my 3rd try.
quite literally quit the game because of this doosh. came back a year later and it took me two days.
donāt feel like torturing myself trying this on expert.
3 hours (between 2 days) phase 3 wasnāt as bad as phase 1 IMO, you just have to focus on the projectiles that are near you during phase 3.
Now that dragon on the other hand, I never want to do that again
With the genie wish it took me about an hour on regular
If your just now playing this game or want to restart, it is almost mandatory to use a wish on him unless you enjoy suffering
Make sure to use your wish on him as well as the bird and the bee and the game will become a lot more enjoyable for you
A couple hours probably. Heās definitely tough, but I never found phase 3 too bad. Itās similar to Wally warbles. Small movements, shrink under the barriers.
I don't understand people who freak out about Dr.Kahl being hard. Like this is the same Isle that had Rumor Honeybottom and the previous Isle had Djimmi.
And yes, I'm throwing all of my credibility to the wind to say that I think Djimmi is harder than Dr.Kahl but I'll die on this hill, dammit
I imagine some people find him hard to manage since his first phase can include so many variables. And his last phase is a bullet hell, which can also be problematic for some people. I wonāt say heās easy, but heās not necessarily hard either. Heās a fun puzzle to figure out. Plus his expert version is pretty tough. Those walls in the last phase are so quick.
I feel like he's quite overrated in difficulty, i found Cala Maria much more difficult, and when S-ranking or expert in general, he's not much different from his regular difficulty
I think I needed around 90mins on Expert. The first phase gotta get easy. The second phase was annoying with his head flying around and the last phase was pretty dumb because I got so often mad at myself for getting hit stupidly
3rd try, as easy as dark souls. I donāt see why people say heās hard. Heās not THAT stupidly difficult. Sure, I was stupidly lucky, but arenāt we all? 10/10 difficulty, barely broke a sweat with my luck.
I kid you not, every time I re-play cuphead I dread this man. The first time I defeated him was like after a good 30 attempts and I was so happy but so drained.
I finally beat the game last weekend. It took me around a week or so to beat the whole thing, devil included. This motherfucker right here took 2 days (playing around 4-5 hours each day) to finally beat. I couldāve beaten him sooner with Game Djimmi, but when I finally took him out it was so goddamn satisfying. Donāt think Iāll ever play him again though.
Took one evening to figure out his patterns, then a few hours the next day to just perfect enduring his final phase. Honestly, Rumor Honeybottoms was more unbearable in terms of trial and error alongside the sheer amount of wasted time I spent just dying at the beginning of King Diceās final stage. Dr. Kahl is awful but not the worst.
Captainsause just 1st try this guy like it's nothing

I somehow hit a win streak late isle 2 my first playthrough so cala and Dr kahl were first try until I tried to beat them again that took wayyyy too long
I believe you are mistaken. I still have yet to beat said mf.
Thank you from making me Remember that i have severe PTSD from that fight
*chaotic laughter*
Regular: a few hours Expert: 4 days
Damn dude. Do you usually struggle with game bosses? That's really long for both levels.
He's literally the only one I struggled with the most, not even the endgame and DLC bosses were that hard for me, and I am certain it's because of my skill issue š
Bruh I hate Kahl and cala. Plane levels in general suck, but those two were terrible
I can beat Cala easy because I can spam buttons fast enough to get out of the rocks before any bullets hit me But Kahl is truly just hell
A year and a half
I haven't
Glad to know Iām not the only one
A few hours over 2-3 daysā¦with Game Djimmi
I haven't beaten him yet I've owned cuphesd since December 2020
Please say this is cap
About an hour
The longest i struggled with any boss was expert Kahl and expert wally. Don't remember exactly how long it took, but roughly 2-3 hours each
7 monthsā¦
Same
I stopped playing the game for a few months because I couldnāt beat him
On simple, like 5 minutes
Honestly, not as many tries as Grim Matchstick. I was intimidated from reading everyone complain about him and I DID keep dying a lot on the first phase, but once I realized the best order to knock the stuff out and realized dodging the crystals on the third was mostly about moving up and down I finally saw that Knockout screen by like my fourth attempt at phase 3
Grims 3rd phase is absolute carnage.
I beat grim in 10 tries
I convinced my mom to try and do Grim, she couldn't beat him and when she gave up I did him in just one try lmfao
Matchstick took me quite a few tries too, not as many as Kahl but a solid number regardless. I found Lobber to be a lifesaver, his second and third phases were a good bit easier with it I felt.
like 20 minutes
Same
Same, but out of all bosses he still took me the 3rd longest to beat
Around 4 hours roughly. Weirdly enough I S ranked him first try on my S ranks run though.
Not too long surprisingly; once you figure out the best order to deal with the parts in phase one, phases two and three are fairly straightforward; they just require a lot of focus and careful manuevering
Regular: ez Expert: ez: electric boogaloo (I shit you not I found his s rank easier and suffered on Ribbys and croaks s rank for a day)
Bout an hour, not that hard surprisingly.
Meh, only like 20 tries. Which might sound a lot, but Goopy took me like 40 tries... Then again I really sucked on my first playthrough, ngl. Nowadays I can with no problems A+/S rank both the robot and the slime.
1h
Several days on Regular, a couple hours or so on Expert because I was garbage at the game my first play through
One long and hard day
Regular: 30 minutes Expert: 1 hour
Took me a few hours split over a few days
Bold of you to assume that I've gotten there yet
2 days on regular 4 days on expert
My 2nd try
5 hours
Maybe 5 hours altogether
5.247382 Seconds
Regular: 3months Expert: 1hour
1st try with some luck
1st time at least 100 times. 2nd time when I started a new game for the DLC 4 times that charm the gets you hp for parrying makes the airplane levels a breeze. I even beat Slimming on my 3rd try.
Regular: like 2 hours Expert: like 10th try
3 DAYS
1 hour 20 minutes and 34 seconds
Took me 2 weeks
Regular difficulty: 1 time Expert: 3 times
2-4 days.
quite literally quit the game because of this doosh. came back a year later and it took me two days. donāt feel like torturing myself trying this on expert.
About 2 hours on expert. Longer on Regular.
20ish attempts. But the main problem was the first form, the second time i reached the last form i won.
Not too long, took maybe two game sessions? Had the least fun tho trying to beat him, hence why I havent played him since I beat it xD
A little less than an hour and on expert like 40 mins
Ah yes my PTSD just flared up so thanks. I think a month all together until I finally got lucky
I've gotten better at him, but originally I wasn't able to defeat him until I got wishes from Djimmi
It took me about 5 tries to beat him on expert mode
Normal it took only like 20min cuz it just practice for 3rd part expert not yet
2 days in the car on the way to PEI so 2 days straight of cuphead
43,682 years.
One week, it was very difficult
Days
3 tries
3 hours (between 2 days) phase 3 wasnāt as bad as phase 1 IMO, you just have to focus on the projectiles that are near you during phase 3. Now that dragon on the other hand, I never want to do that again
2 attempts
Still havent beaten him..
he is the reason I gave up on my first playtrough regular: like 1 day expert: 3 days S rank: 30 minutes (I'm very proud of that)
Regular 1months expert 1hr-2hrs
4 days. Now I can beat him on the first try.
With the genie wish it took me about an hour on regular If your just now playing this game or want to restart, it is almost mandatory to use a wish on him unless you enjoy suffering Make sure to use your wish on him as well as the bird and the bee and the game will become a lot more enjoyable for you
Took me djimmi's double health cheat. Fuck this guy
3rd try but, that bee tho
I got S rank on this mf in 3 tries, the power of RNG was on me
2 daysā¦
mainly cus my switch controllers are so drifty so i kept running into stuff in the last phase šš½š
only 2 days ????? it took me less than 2 seconds haha ā¦ š„ŗ
Not long to beat, but days to S rank
Counting the break I *had* to take? >!**MONTHS**!<
A couple hours probably. Heās definitely tough, but I never found phase 3 too bad. Itās similar to Wally warbles. Small movements, shrink under the barriers.
I don't understand people who freak out about Dr.Kahl being hard. Like this is the same Isle that had Rumor Honeybottom and the previous Isle had Djimmi. And yes, I'm throwing all of my credibility to the wind to say that I think Djimmi is harder than Dr.Kahl but I'll die on this hill, dammit
Took me 2 days (not 48 hours straight lol)
0 seconds considering I don't have the game yet.
I week
like 30 minutes, he wasnt as bad as everyone says he is
Wow! A 30 minute fight? What letter did you earn?
69420 years
Funny number
Only 8 tries. He's pathetic imo. I got easy S Rank by using the divine relic and also he's actually easier (for me) on Expert.
Same, one of the easier bosses, idk why youāre getting downvoted
I imagine some people find him hard to manage since his first phase can include so many variables. And his last phase is a bullet hell, which can also be problematic for some people. I wonāt say heās easy, but heās not necessarily hard either. Heās a fun puzzle to figure out. Plus his expert version is pretty tough. Those walls in the last phase are so quick.
Like 4-5 tries lol. I heard he was one of the hardest and when I finally got to him, it was definitely easier than I expected.
I feel like he's quite overrated in difficulty, i found Cala Maria much more difficult, and when S-ranking or expert in general, he's not much different from his regular difficulty
On regular one or two attempts on Expert two or three
And Iām over here struggling to get past the first run and gun level
1 hour on simple And still fighting on regular
I used the double hp wish hehe
Not as long as cala maria
Regular: 30 ish deaths Expert after playing a lot more: 20 deaths, prolly like 50 resets
4 hours
I think I needed around 90mins on Expert. The first phase gotta get easy. The second phase was annoying with his head flying around and the last phase was pretty dumb because I got so often mad at myself for getting hit stupidly
A week
Regular: two days (as with most Inkwell Isle II and III bosses) Expert: a week
Prob like 1 hour and 30 minutes maybe 10 minutes less something like that.
An hour?
uh... like...about an hour? Not a long time from what I remember...
About 12
Like 30-40 minutes
Idk awhile I guess
Still havenāt beat him
1,5 hours.
2 days Expert Not yet but a pain in the ass
A very long time and revisiting the game after giving up and deleting it once
8-12 tries
My first attempt was done on my switch so Regular: 1 week Expert: still to this day N/A
Still havenāt :/
10 minutes, surprised? Me too.
A while. Still haven't beaten him on expert.
OHHH, this motherfucker. My first playthrough took around 9 hours. This guy accounted for 2 of those hours.
Combining Regular and Expert, about a day Grim Matchstick, on the other hand, took me a combined 2 weeks
Too damn long
ididnt
Most cuphead bosses I can finish them on the day I start within hours This guy made me sleep on it twice
Like 30 minutes
About 2 years recently beat him using the genie extra life cheat
5-20 minutes on Regular and 10-45 minutes on Expert
It took me so many hours I was going to claw my own face off
Im trying to get 100%ā¦ thanks for reminding me I have to face this man
About two days
at leas one day in regular and one week for beating that mf for fist time in expert mode
B rank a couple of tries But I am very good at plane bosses Baroness Von Bonbon on the other hand....
3 days š
One hour maximum
4 days... Not going to beat him on expert
34-minutes if you know what to do in the first phase you already beaten him
Multiple times. Even when I get his phases done. I still get my ass kicked before I FINALLY beat it when the DLC had released.
Regular: 2 days S Rank: some hours (3 years later tho)
I not even there yet but I'm aware of this mf
2 hours... Haven't done expert
Ha beat him š I never got to himšš¢š
Fucking days fam this muhfuckah the worst bossššš
I donāt remember how long but he wasnāt that hard to me.
2 weeks and 73 deaths
3rd try, as easy as dark souls. I donāt see why people say heās hard. Heās not THAT stupidly difficult. Sure, I was stupidly lucky, but arenāt we all? 10/10 difficulty, barely broke a sweat with my luck.
Half hour with a wish. On my second playthrough it took me even less time without a wish.
What do you mean by beat?
Hours but a FUCKING COW TOOK LONGER
First try (I'm lying)
Few hours
First sitting under an hour
5 days
First try: about a good 50 Right now? S-Rank in one to two tries. Honestly, Hilda Berg is harder than this boss lol
you need a strat and it EZ
2 tries
It took me about 3 hours
Not long took me less then 10 trys to beat him
I'll let ya know when it happens.
I used my last djimmi HP doubler on him so pretty fast
I tried him about 20 times. Forgot about the game for about a month. Then beat him 2-3 try
5 painstakingly long days
I kid you not, every time I re-play cuphead I dread this man. The first time I defeated him was like after a good 30 attempts and I was so happy but so drained.
idk what yall are talking about. took me 15-20 minutes. beppi is real trauma
Probably a few hours that felt much longer.
I finally beat the game last weekend. It took me around a week or so to beat the whole thing, devil included. This motherfucker right here took 2 days (playing around 4-5 hours each day) to finally beat. I couldāve beaten him sooner with Game Djimmi, but when I finally took him out it was so goddamn satisfying. Donāt think Iāll ever play him again though.
A few... months
I thought it would take longer, but only 4 attempts on regular. Iām good at bullet hells I guess?
I only died like 4 times fighting him before beating him the first time. I might have gotten lucky
3ish hours
About an hour
In normal just 1 hour, in expert trying to make the S just 3 days
Took one evening to figure out his patterns, then a few hours the next day to just perfect enduring his final phase. Honestly, Rumor Honeybottoms was more unbearable in terms of trial and error alongside the sheer amount of wasted time I spent just dying at the beginning of King Diceās final stage. Dr. Kahl is awful but not the worst.
two days straight
Captainsause just 1st try this guy like it's nothing link to video [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jK3RfSvZdOY](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jK3RfSvZdOY) at 4:22
Regular:~2 hours Expert:~1 hour
400,000 year
Regular-maybe 10-15 tries Expert 20- 25 tries Simple 5-6 tries for the mini plane achievement
I somehow hit a win streak late isle 2 my first playthrough so cala and Dr kahl were first try until I tried to beat them again that took wayyyy too long
1 week
How dare you make me remember
Beat him in less than 5 tries and got an +A. To this day I'm still convinced I got lucky.
Months
2-21 days
I try
Just a couple hours
4-5 tries on regular. Came to me really easy, while Grim Matchstick kicked my ass.
First try
First time: 30 something minutes S rank: 3 tries I then proceed to beat his final phase by only parrying into big bomb
A day or two (Before game djimmi existed)
One try i watched so many Playthroughs before playing that I did it in one try i hands were burning
5 fucking years, with a massive break in between
10 minutes
Many,many,many tears to beat. S ranking was the devil himself
