There’s a way to replay Cuphead’s mausoleum levels and secret boss

destructoid.com:

Cuphead is built upon the fun of replaying and mastering boss fights, and that also goes for the new DLC, The Delicious Last Course. With that said, the three mausoleum levels in the original game — and a secret boss in the DLC — are seemingly set up as one-time hurdles. Is there any way to replay this content? Turns out, yes. With a hidden input.

Without spoiling anything, if you ever want to replay the DLC’s secret boss (or just try the ghost-busting mausoleums again for the heck of it), here’s how: stand facing the level entrance on Cuphead‘s overworld and hold the L+R triggers until it opens back up.

I saw the tip on Reddit and tried it on PS4 using L1+R1, and sure enough, it all works. In the case of the secret boss, you’ll see a blue light. For the mausoleums, they’ll still be destroyed, but a button prompt will appear after you hold the triggers long enough.

It’s unclear if there is a way to replay the secret boss or mausoleum levels in Cuphead using only a keyboard, but I’ll update this article if anyone cracks the case.

**Spoilers below**

Here’s a visual aid if you can’t quite remember where you fought the secret boss.

If you’re not at that point yet but you’re still reading this article anyway out of curiosity, WELCOME. I’m trying to be vague. To reach this fight the first time, you’ll need to:

There’s no other fight like this in Cuphead, and I’m sure players will want to revisit it. The first time through, I was just glad to make it out alive; everything was a blur.

As for replaying the mausoleums, maybe you want to practice your parries? Or maybe you just want to experience them again without doing a new save file. Options are good!

After a long weekend with the game, you might have burned through everything.
