How to S Rank Hilda Berg | Cuphead

Oh the humanity!!

To be honest, I put off doing Hilda for approximately 2 and a half years because I really really sucked at this fight. Now that it's the cursed end of 2021, I feel like I've gotten good enough to try again.

Remember, to S Rank Hilda, you need...

1. to beat the level in less than 2 minutes
2. to finish the level with 3 HP
3. to parry 3 times
4. to use 6 bars of super
5. to play on expert mode.

Go get em, tiger.

The biggest problem for me was getting under 2 minutes... I was being so efficient with my supers and I would always be 1-5 seconds too late...

I love that the ending of the song was perfectly timed with the knockout

Hilda Berg is pretty easy to beat in the regular mode, but S-ranking her is just hell. There are moments when her fight on Expert is straight of unfair, like the fire thing during the Gemini phase sometimes not even giving you a chance to dodge or when she shoots the tornado and the green blimp shoots the bullets at the very same time. It's pretty luck-based.

second tip: during the sagittarius face, aim with the bombs directly at the tip of his arrow, and the bombs probably will eliminate all the homing stars at once.

A very useful trick that helped me a lot is that you can destroy the blue stars as soon as they come out if you are using the bomb weapon because it has splash damage. If you use the bomb weapon you may kill the airplane that will give you a parryable object so what I like to do is to wait till I get that and then I implement the bomb strat.

I watched the end of this video after throwing my poor wallet across my room striking my essential oil diffuser to help me beat this fu***ng blimp, JUST ON EXPERT, I WOULD RATHER DIE THAN TRY TO S RANK THIS, and i just have to say, those green blimps can burn in FU**ING BLMP HEII FOR THE LOVE OF GOD, THE AMOUNT OF TIMES THEY GAVE ME A FACIAL IN AN UNAVOIDABLE MANNER, GAVE ME HEART DISEASE. SEEING THE KNOCKOUT SCREEN WAS THE MOST BEAUTIFUL THING IVE SEEN IN WEEKS. that is all, im going to go cry myself to sleep now

Thank you so much for this video. I struggled badly trying to S rank her. Most tutorials I watched weren't really that helpful. I finally S ranked her thanks to this video.

tip: right after hilda transforms, the first purple flying thing that appears will always shoot a pink projectile

[EaterOfGeese]

tip for the blue arrow phase: have your super ready, let her shoot the first round and dodge them, then as shes close to shooting the next round, use the big bomb to clear everything on screen and she will pass to next phase before shooting the third round. as long as you can get through one round of this phase, you'll be good

[ChilIdeas]

Tip! The first purple blimp when she transforms to both forms is guaranteed to be parryable. Also when beating the Sagittarius there will be both purple and green blimps shooting at you at the same time. The purple will have a garenteed parry

Thank you dude I had no clue about the UFO colors.

[Sofian-ec]

You can use the bombs to destroy the stars, when they are close to eachother. Also you can bait the brown ufos to fire by quickly going forward and then backward so that the laser cant hit you. I like to do this because sometimes the brown ufos got me on the left side of the screen so i was stuck. Hope this comment helps someone!

OH GOD I LOVE THOSE MUSIC SYNCS GOD DADDY PLEASE MORE

[shaunv]

Thanks dude. I didn’t enjoy this fight at all because I hate all airplane fights and I’ve always hated hilda berg. It just takes a lot of practice especially for the arrow and star part.

[lemonski]

tip: after he shoots the arrow dodge the blue stars by circling under them and then returning back to your original position. by this time the blue stars should track you and all group up relatively on one spot in front of you if you position yourself and time it right, you can use an ex and it will chomp through the stars and the ex even goes into the boss a lot. it’s even easier with the pink pellets the blimps shoot and if you have smoke bomb i’m pretty sure you can shrink through the arrow. you can do this method every time he fires his arrow obv

[BBB_Bomb]

1:35 fun fact for this attack, only the BULLETS damage you, the circle itself actually doesn't.

[misakiiiyt]

Jo i just started to S rank the boss in Cuphead but i suck, thanks for helping me out bro! :D

[SUPERIORBOT]

I CAME FOR THE UFO THING THANKS I THOUGHT IT WAS JUST COMPLETELY RANDOM

[kransin]

Also, using whetstone can help with getting rid of the blue stars. But also coffee is nice since you get bonus damage.

[Iamheartless]

Thank you so much I watched half of this and got the s rank first try
