A guide/commentary on how to beat Goopy Le Grande from the Ruse of an Ooze stage without taking damage in Cuphead.

Goopy Le Grande tips

Phase 1

– Jump 0:22 , Use smoke dash to move around only when Goopy is about to land/make contact with you. Movement should only be for aiming weapon and would say to stay reasonably away from the walls.

– Headbutt/Punch-move 0:28, crouch and the attack will go above head without damaging. Can still continue to fire for damage during this.

Phase 2

– Jumping, during 2nd phase may have to do slightly more movement as with his larger size it can be easy to dash and him to land on you, so be sure to get close enough to where he will land/where he is, so when you smoke dash you will end up behind. Again be aware he can have weird bounces off the wall.

– Boxing punch 0:52, crouch down and punch will go above without damaging.

– Special moves, this phase is where I’d recommend spamming/using the special moves built up in 1st phase e.g. mega blast of Peashooter, as this is the phase with the highest liklihood of getting hit.

Phase 3

– Gravestone slam 1:13, smoke dash out of the way as he begins the slam. Make sure not to be dashing into the wall if too close, as well as when he has done the slam he will remain on the ground for a brief moment, whilst he is on the ground he still has a hitbox so you can take contact damage so wait for him to get up again before moving back, if needed.
