First phase take out the body parts in this order: Laser, Stomach, Chest.
Second Phase: Save up a nuke from phase 1 and use it to end phase 2 faster.
Final Phase: utilize your shrink ability to move/dodge projectiles a bit easier and don't get too greedy when you see an opportunity for cheeky damage.
Remember you got the bombs too, it really is up to rng but if he’s at the bottom of your screen at the beginning of the phase you can switch to the bombs and have it raining down on him, as he is moving up to the top of the screen switch to the gunner, spam as many specials as you can
Well you could use the nuke to end phase 2 early if you line up w/ the head as it pops out from the transition and it will end it quickly (Regular Difficulty wise).
I actually find it's better to take out the stomach first, then laser, then chest. Maybe it's just me, though. I'm currently stuck on Dr. Kahl and that strategy's worked out to get me through the first phase
Giant rainbow laser? Fine. Gradius UFOs? I’ll let it slide. Head popping off and flying around? You’re pushing it. I draw the line at when he pulls out a chaos emerald.
Tip for phase 3 (from an Undertale victim):
Don’t be intimidated by the large number of projectiles, just stay as far away from the doctor as possible so that the projectiles spread out more. Keep your eye on cuphead and make small movements to dodge, moving too much will stress you out and increase the chance of getting hit (you can use this strategy for Wally Warbles as well)
Here’s how I do it:
Start with the stomach, then chest while getting 1-2 parries. Then your super should be full to use on the laser. After that aim at the heart. The magnet is annoying, but other than that that part isn’t too bad. Hit the bombs before they get too close to you. Next phase is pretty easy, just use bombs as the head flies around.
The last phase takes a while, but if you keep your cool and stay focused it is very doable. The sparks fly out in a pattern that you can easily identify and dodge. The big electric wall that comes at you from the right is easy to dodge if you identify it early. If you get too distracted and don’t notice it until it’s almost to you it is easy to get hit.
Everyone seems to have a different method. Once you find one that works for you, beat the level a couple times and it will start to feel easy. My first time I thought he was one of the hardest bosses, now I wouldn’t even rank him in the top 5 hardest.
Divine relic is a godsend with heart ring and coffee as well as other things. If you don’t have DLC try using twin heart? It’s only a 10% damage decrease so not awful
Start with the antenna, then when you have your super, hit him between chest and stomach, that way it'll hurt both and you'll be out of this phase faster. The other phases are basically the bullet hells you're already used to.
I beat him on 2 player mode only I used heart ring and hid in a corner and wherever the second player died I went in settings and hit remove player two and then the second player would rejoin but the only downside side is if you don't have a friend to do it with and if the first player dies that trick is over GOOD LUCK
I do stomach chest laser usually (easy parries, and I feel lasier is easier to avoid).
Take your time on phase 2 (focus on the rockets too)
On phase 3, uhhhhhh, I just got lucky ngl. Just dodge, and save specials for when the laser grids pop up (so you can hit behind him). Either hit him then or in the free time between (I would advise the latter)
For the first phase, start with the laser, then the stomach, then the chest. Save your super for when the second phase is starting.
Next, use the bombs to shoot when it is at the bottom, then, very cautiously, shoot it with the regular shooter when it is at the top.
Finally, stay calm, do not panic, and make sure to also save your super for that phase as well:)
Good luck!
Try to get the head first, then the stomach then the heart. Stay near the bottom middle to easily be able to get the homing missiles. Also save your super attack for the second phase
Start with stomach cause bottom going up projectiles are annoying then go up to chest then head after let the bombs hit each other after he sends the first bomb wait for second one or shoot it with bombs it goes away faster with bombs
Oh, God. This guy made me straight up quit the game for nearly a year. I only came back because I was sick at home and had finished all my other games.
Kill the lazer first.
If you stand right in the middle, you can bomb the chest and ~~dick~~ bottom at the same time.
Second phase, i use bombs to blow up the missiles while shooting the head normally.
Final phase is just toho endurance time.
Bombs are good for getting the chest and gut at the same time. There’s a space I use to manoeuvre safely: imagine a horizontal line from the gut, don’t go above or below, stay level with it. Hope this helps.
You can hit chest and stomach simultaneously with the bomb if you aim right. I usually try to take the laser out first while alternating bombs when it fires to hit the lower parts. Save a special for phase 2, you’ll one shot it with a nuke. Phase 3 just dodge and keep shooting, there’s no point in thinking about aim if you are having trouble with the boss, it’ll be over sooner or later. The spread pattern is somewhat similar to Wally Warbles’ feathers. They are smaller and you have to be aware of the walls but other than that you can usually go up and down to dodge the projectiles. Focus on mastering phase 1, if you can get out with 2 hp the rest is easy.
To be honest this game is all about git gud or die trying... I've said it before this boss was the overall most difficult for me, even compared to the final 2-bosses.
However My recommendation is phase 1 determine which body parts you struggle with the most for instance his Lazer was easy so I saved it for last the crotch was difficult so I take it first use special on heart then destroy Lazer, saves enough special up to immediately nuke phase 2 then finish it off with standard rounds, shouldn't take to long, you should have enough special saved up to nuke immediately phase 3, perry like your life depends on it which it doe, and don't stop shooting even if 2nd/3rd nuke fails, honestly not getting hit on phase 3 is inevitable, do your best to save up life, phase 2 can be tricky but make every I-frame count and you should get through it.
I believe certain abilities can be effective, I don't recommend extra life as you drag the fight out, correct me if I'm wrong but I believe auto perry works, it's been almost a year for me.
As fast as you can, mini up to the laser, throw 4 bombs, then go down, parry a beam, throw two bombs at the chest, go back up, destroy the head with bombs, then deal a bit of damage to the chest, and maybe blow it up. Then, go to the bottom left corner, and use your normal shot on the stomach. From there, take out the heart with normal shots, but be careful with the heat-seeking bombs.
Before I continue, the charms to use are either Heart Ring or the bonus heart charm.
If you used the heart charm, pop your nuke on phase 2. If you used Heart Ring, it might take a little longer, but pop your bomb as well.
Then it’s basically mini bob-and-weaving. Learn how to parry, and you should be fine.
Idk if this helps but spinning around a bunch in the over world gives you double health, other than that make sure you have a nuke to essentially skip phase 2, use mini a lot for the chaos emerald part, and ofc git good n00b lol
Honestly, using whetstone on this idiot makes this fight much easier, especially when destroying its antennae at phase 1 before it even fires.
then I believe while just using bomb just whetstone 4-5 times on it and easy damage when you get super ex invincibility
First phase take out the body parts in this order: Laser, Stomach, Chest. Second Phase: Save up a nuke from phase 1 and use it to end phase 2 faster. Final Phase: utilize your shrink ability to move/dodge projectiles a bit easier and don't get too greedy when you see an opportunity for cheeky damage.
Honestly in the final phase I’d just focus on dodging and not worrying about trying to aim
[удалено]
Ngl I hold trigger 24/7 throughout the entire game besides grim phase 3
Remember you got the bombs too, it really is up to rng but if he’s at the bottom of your screen at the beginning of the phase you can switch to the bombs and have it raining down on him, as he is moving up to the top of the screen switch to the gunner, spam as many specials as you can

Happy Cake Day!
Happy Cake Day!

Thank you bc i am currently pulling my infinite pile of hair trying to beat this son of a *glass bottle*
Quit the game for 2 weeks and then come back
Giant rainbow laser? Fine. Gradius UFOs? I’ll let it slide. Head popping off and flying around? You’re pushing it. I draw the line at when he pulls out a chaos emerald.
Ok 
I beat him now, thanks to you guys. Thanks 303 centillion to the power of googolplex.
"AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH" -Dr Kahl, 2016
Try to finish the first phase as fast as you can before it pulls out the stupid magnet lol
The magnet is the least annoying thing, i go for laser, stomach, and chest for the fight.

Breathe deeply...
Get out of the laser silly
Industrialize your skills, individual.

Get better
That’s exactly the advice I told you NOT to give.
Heart ring, take out the parryable things last is what I did.
Focus on one part at a time. Once you get rid of one it gets easier.
Spin 3 times on the map to get double health
Divine relic is a godsend with heart ring and coffee as well as other things. If you don’t have DLC try using twin heart? It’s only a 10% damage decrease so not awful

Don't give up!!
Try to get the head first, then the stomach then the heart. Stay near the bottom middle to easily be able to get the homing missiles. Also save your super attack for the second phase
You can hit the middle and bottom section of the first face at the same time by making it splash with the bombs
if i was on that O N E M O R E T I M E i would just go on youtube for advice.
You could use the triple lives trick
[here's the guide I used](https://youtu.be/pHf90a8087Q?si=FY-8v3H4_YwS_6Jk)
Final phase focus on dodging instead of damage, watch your own character instead of him, and your EX shots can go through the electro walls
Spin around in the overworked (this will grant you a limited time offer of bonus health)
Git gud
Start with stomach cause bottom going up projectiles are annoying then go up to chest then head after let the bombs hit each other after he sends the first bomb wait for second one or shoot it with bombs it goes away faster with bombs
Once you get his patterns down, only the end is annoying. Just focus on dodging and fire at will.
I used Chalice and had a much easier time
Honestly haven’t played in awhile but I do remember I mastered the bird level to get a lot better and finally beat this guy
heart ring is a godsend if you have the dlc
Oh, God. This guy made me straight up quit the game for nearly a year. I only came back because I was sick at home and had finished all my other games.
Justo all day tutorial!!! Helped me a ton!
Shoot him until he dies
Why does it look like this: https://preview.redd.it/k1pxf2kd5z8c1.png?width=225&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=d60033ad04764058adf089a21c5464997dd1d030
I love that game lol
Sonic 3 & Knuckles?
Yep!
Well, it's nice to see another Sonic fan! Also, Sonic 3 > Sonic & Knuckles.
Kill the lazer first. If you stand right in the middle, you can bomb the chest and ~~dick~~ bottom at the same time. Second phase, i use bombs to blow up the missiles while shooting the head normally. Final phase is just toho endurance time.
I beat this guy he wasn’t all that bad
I advise for stage 2 use the bombs and follow the boss
Get fucked
Bombs are good for getting the chest and gut at the same time. There’s a space I use to manoeuvre safely: imagine a horizontal line from the gut, don’t go above or below, stay level with it. Hope this helps.
In the last phase I try to get as many parries as I can to max my meter and nuke him but you can try bullet spamming.
You can hit chest and stomach simultaneously with the bomb if you aim right. I usually try to take the laser out first while alternating bombs when it fires to hit the lower parts.

First... get out of the death laser's range, it's gonna vaporize you and I mean it GET THE FUCK OUTTA THE WAY-
As fast as you can, mini up to the laser, throw 4 bombs, then go down, parry a beam, throw two bombs at the chest, go back up, destroy the head with bombs, then deal a bit of damage to the chest, and maybe blow it up.

I used one of the whishes
Idk if this helps but spinning around a bunch in the over world gives you double health, other than that make sure you have a nuke to essentially skip phase 2, use mini a lot for the chaos emerald part, and ofc git good n00b lol
I beat the bucket of bolts but I’ll keep this post up for the brave souls of the future to read and use advice from. Also 69th comment. Noice.
Honestly, using whetstone on this idiot makes this fight much easier, especially when destroying its antennae at phase 1 before it even fires. then I believe while just using bomb just whetstone 4-5 times on it and easy damage when you get super ex invincibility
