I thought it was kinda obvious that chef Saltbaker was gonna be the twist villain, but I never would’ve expected for him to redeem himself at the end through community service. That is very wholesome.
Maybe he expected that if he were to control the astral plane he would be able to bring chalice back. Silly old fool doesn’t even know how magic works.
Though I find it very odd how Cuphead immediately forgave him. Obviously, it's a cartoon. It's a reference to the ol joke of how villains redeem themselves and everyone is friends. Though I still partially find it fucked up. Like, he tried to kill him. Tried to kill his friends. For a CAKE! A worlddominating cake!

this boss actually worked better execution wise as a final boss than the devil not just in terms of difficulty but rather the atmosphere of the fight itself...the Devil felt too cartoonishly goofy but Saltbaker was absolutely terrifying in each phase even the music was more menacing.
Yeah, the fact that saltbaker was actively killing ingredients through the fight while the devil was just chilling in the back gives the chef a more sinister aura, that plus the final stage looks more hellish than the devil's hell.
@@Composty_lol felt too cliche really the him going big...just that nothing else...super underwhelming considering that the getting big gimmick is pretty much used in other fights.
@@infinitypeaches3329 Dark Matter is an entire species, not just a character. And all the other ones were killed, so they didn’t really have a chance to redeem themselves
This guy is a terrifying boss. His attacks in the first stage are basically him butchering his ingredients and sending their remains at you. The second stage has you attacking him with PEPPER, the companion to SALT, which makes you wonder why they hate him so much. The third isn’t that scary, but it makes you wonder if he was sealed in that glass body for a reason. Also, you know, the fact that he attacks with what is essentially his innards
Let's be real, we all expected a boss fight with Saltbaker in some way. I don't think we expected him to be a MURDEROUS LUNATIC, however. Seriously, his fight makes THE DEVIL'S boss fight look positively quaint.
@@CookieKaylie I'd like them to either make a Cuphead 2 or another dlc exploring more of the astral plane. I think it'd be fun if we could go inside the astral plane and do different boss fights. We might even could possibly see the devil in there
The Devil is cartoonish evil, he’s the devil so he must represent everything that is bad by virtue, Salt Baker on the other hand is much more grounded and his presentation makes him much more evil in comparison. Basically, one thing is being told that something is evil and the other more memorable thing is being shown how evil something is
This is just pure art. I can't even imagine the amount of effort it took to animate all that crazy stuff and make it work smoothly with the gameplay, the devs really put their hearts in this bossfight and it shows.
@@tatarchan5212 And remember, all of the animation for Cuphead is hand drawn. In that perspective, this is nothing short of a masterpiece of art & animation.
Not going to lie, when I fought the salt shaker I was terrifyed, not because of his constant spam of attacks but the actions he takes to do so, he essentially butchers living objects and brutally throws their once fearful remains at you all the while sporting a creepy grin as he does so, twisted doesn’t even begin to describe how crazy he is. Unlike the devil this is a man you didn’t expect to be so intentionally malicious after basically being your friend throughout the DLC. Glad he redeemed himself though.
No kidding. I screamed a little inside seeing the LIVING LIMES WITH FACES get BLATANTLY SLICED IN HALF like he was a FREAKING SERIAL KILLER. Not to mention, he SMASHES a sugar guy and blows his remains away nonchalantly. If that wouldn’t make him look like a sadist or scare the living CRAP out of you, I don’t know what will.
I unironically love how the fight with Salt Baker is absolutely insane with him growing in size and cracking open to fight you with m essentially his own blood and then the cutscene after looks like they just had some scuffle that left him just slightly dazed
@@JBubba same reason why Daffy can be burned into a pile of ash and a pair of eyeballs and come back completely fine in the next scene. This game is all about cartoon logic.
It’s really a wholesome moment when the bad guy reflects upon his actions at the end by doing community service and becomes a good guy. Truly one of the greatest and happiest endings a person could ask for
It’s nice seeing a villain be redeemed through hard work in the end. He did something bad, but he’s not like the devil. He just let power go to his head.
@@ericbabcock3206 He made a recipe to control the galaxy and it needs a living soul! What would you blame him for if he’s already ok with killing food? Probably the same to him.
I'll probably never actually play the game myself, but I'll admit the animation is phenomenal. You can tell the developers put their heart and soul into the production of this and the DLC.
"the developers put their heart and soul into the production of this and the DLC", by Cuphead logic, you're telling me they just rolled a head to complete the DLC ☠
Now I understand why they delayed the cuphead DLC. Totally worth waiting almost half a decade for. The animation is just amazing. If you compare this boss fight with the Devil’s boss fight, you can see how much the creators improved on animation, almost as if it’s a whole different game!
@@sandjaarx Weren't we talking about dlc development time? The dlc wasn't even thought of back in 2013-2017 where they were only focusing on adding as much as they can into the main game with the budget they have
The dlc was announced In 2019, so we only had to wait 3 years for it. That's a pretty typical wait time, considering how long it takes games to come out these days.
We also have different animations before and after the boss, in function who’s captured. This is how we can unlock the endings: Trapped Cuphead: He was to have the cookie as the charm. Trapped Mugman: Same as Cuphead, but Mugman has to have the cookie instead of his brother. Trapped Mrs.Chalice (Yep, that’s possible.): None of the characters have the cookie as the charm.
The Final Boss Being Saltbaker is terrifying. him literally killing the fruits. Stealing the strawberries. Breaking himself off. It also felt sad that the last boss is your trusted chef. making you felt sorry for him after his lost. and the credits showing that he asks for mercy because he just follows what he knows. I'm glad that he redeemed himself and learning the goods from others. Becoming a true friend who makes best desserts alive.
Yeah kinda but he probably didn’t as you still have to use the charm it’s probably a on purpose error to show they were all happy as that stuff happened in cartoons
Everyone's talking about Saltbaker... but honestly, I just can't get over how wholesome the final chat between Chalice and the boys is. "Who needs a Wondertart when they can have two new best pals instead!" 🥰
Reasons why I love this fight so much: 1. He is so well animated and smooth 2. He actually uses the ingredients from previous bosses to attack you 3. They made him look SO menacing 4. I love how ominous his third phase is where you can see his glass body in the back 5. I love how each transitions between each attack and how well tied up they are
This DLC’s boss-fights are practically perfect Interesting gimmicks SUPER WELL ANIMATED, LIKE WOW THE FINAL PHASE OF HOWLING ACES IS TOP TIER Designs are fantastic, we even see the return of the unused spider in Moonshine Mob This DLC is perfect for a game of this style
The way that there’s literally 3 cinematics before the boss and 3 others after the boss (Two for each character, because all of them can be trapped.) is crazy!
I am Chef Saltbaker I have been a naughty crook The recipe was in my book The recipe was overcooked I should not have let All of that power go to my head Now I'll bake for good Now I'll bake my bread (Whistle interlude) I have learned my lesson I have learned my lesson well It's better to bake in Heaven Than to cook in Hell I'm still the best tart baker Best tart baker in the land My baking will bring cheer To my new friends whom I hold dear
Quick little thing here: Saltbaker’s betrayal was foreshadowed at the start, when he mentions that the secret to combat, like baking, is the heart and SOUL.
At the End, the Chef SaltBaker learned his lesson and had time to redeem himself, that is the REAL concept of redemption, SaltBaker responsibilized from his evil deeds and now he is helpfull to society, and i thought that he was one of the Devil's henchmen
I mean, considering they were influenced by those old 1930s cartoon, they also brought the creepy aspects with them into the game as well. So it is to be expected.
Fun fact: of the DLC’s roughly 4 year development: 3 years were dedicated entirely to the animation of Chef Saltbaker. …okay, that might not be true, but with this animation quality? It certainly feels like it!
I know I guess when they say looks can be deceiving looks can really be deceiving in this case he comes off as a really cool as early as a really chill as a really cool Baker and it’s kind of messed up the fact that they are but they pretty much treat him as a friend in the end even though he Murdered innocent ingredients
I had my suspicions he was gonna be a villain, but he kinda creeped me out with those eyes and he really made that final boss battle with him to be such a memorable part of the game for me. I also like he was able to redeem himself and showed the difference between him and the devil. Basically, this DLC was fantastic all around and this boss fight was the cherry on top of it all, showing everything amazing about this DLC and game in one battle.
So he used all the ingredients we collected from the bosses to defeat us, The Lime from Esther Winchester, The Sugar Cubes from Mortimer Freeze, The Dough from the Moonshine Mobs, The Berries from the Glumstone the Giant, And the Mint from the Howling Aces.
The villains are so much scarier in this DLC. It doesn’t have the same “yes this guy is evil, but he’s also kinda cute and cartoonish” vibe as the original. Not that it’s a bad thing. But it’s a cool new choice, and I can’t place my finger on what exactly it is that makes these new bosses look creepier, because I know it’s the same animation style
I think one the hardest things I found in fighting this boss is trying to focus on the objects coming at you everywhere when Saltbaker's mutilating those helpless sentient ingredients in the background. It was very hard not to look at the limes trying to run away just before their tops are lopped off, or the sugar cube's innocent face before he's shattered into particles. This may have been intentional on the design team's part, and if so, well played... but yikes. Incidentally though, I managed to get an *A+* on Saltbaker last night when I beat him for the first time! Granted it took me many, many tries to finally win, and I wasn't even trying to do a perfect run, but did it anyway. Plus I did it with Cuphead himself rather than Ms. Chalice, and I normally *suck* at this game, so it was kind of a big deal for me.
It took a very long time for this DLC to come out, and boy was it worth the wait. The animation in this is incredible, it literally feels like a direct sequel to Cuphead rather than a DLC.
Weirdly enough, in the last picture of the epilogue all three cups are fully corporeal. Maybe the chef found out that the true key to the wondertart was, well, hard work and practice? I mean, that IS the key to my renowned apple pie. Sure, it may not bring the dead back, but I and my friends like it...
Studio MDHR not only reached a crowing achievement with Cuphead they did it again with The Delicious Last Course. I applaud everyone behind this game. 12 years of Hand drawn animation is no easy task. They did the impossible, they caught lightning twice.
Chef Saltbaker was indeed the finest chef in all the lands, but behind his friendly façade laid an obsession. To use his culinary skills to control the Astral Plane itself. In his mind, to be one with life and death would make him nothing less than a God. But for all his baking prowess, he could never achieve his goal without the right ingredients, and especially without the secret ingredient; a living soul. And yet by chance, a living soul would end up finding him! The Legendary Chalice had heard of his talent, and sought him out to help her become a living being again. She even brought up that she knew a couple of mugs who could aid him with whatever needed to be done. Faster than a kitchen timer going 'DING', the Chef knew from there exactly what he needed to do in order to create that delicious last course.....
@Otneimica robotnik has gone mad searching the 2nd chaos emerald after finding all of the 7 shards from the 1st one, he discovers at the end he needs the heart and spikes from a rare blue hedgehog species in mobius island.
@Otneimica this is why he wants to get sonic, also with 2nd chaos emerald i meant 5 not chaos emeralds (power quartz) and 7 shards of the chaos emerald, he puts the heart in the secret stone, it breaks a bit and then the 2nd chaos emerald falls, its part of a bigger rock that only wakes up with the heart
???? : so, i've got a question for ya. do you think even the worst person can change...? that everyone can be a good person, if they just try? Saltbaker: umm..... Maybe sure.
5:41 Does anyone see how Chalice does have a physical body right here, meaning that it's likely that she finally got something to get her a physical body and not just stay as a spirit.
OMG! What a masterpiece. It's so smooth and beautiful. Just like a old animations of Disney. It's breath taking. I really like it. I hope there will be more wonderful DLC. Maybe even Cuphead 2 game.
He's one of the few villains that actually redeemed himself for his crimes and felt disgust towards his own actions after some time, waiting 4 years for the DLC to come out was totally worth it
The fact I knew something was up with Chef Saltbaker because he was too nice and too friendly immediately set a red flag for me lol but it's awesome to see he redeemed and changed his ways through community service.
Did anyone else notice how he puts a Mushroom in the style of Mario in his head to grow so big for his second phase? I'm in love with this game and it's hidden secrets 🤩
During the entire fight the charges he would have collected would be: -2 Charges of attempted murder on Ms.Chalice and trying to cook Cuphead -8 Murder charges on limes -1 charge of battery to crate of strawberries -1 murder charge on the sugar cube -Abuction on ms chalice(grapping here into the 2nd phase) After all of this.... HOW DID HE MAKE IT OUT WITH ONLY COMMUNITY SERVICE
Had a strong feeling since the very first trailer that Saltbaker would be a secret villain. Oversiced cheff's in fiction are rarely good guys. Also... the fact that he's cutting up what is pretty much living and thinking creatures and using their remains as attacks... that's so dang creepy. The flawless animation only adds to it, really nails home certain things that can only be done with 2D
“CHEF SALTBAKER! For trying to rule the astral plane and become a god, I sentence you to COMMUNITY SERVICE “ L O G I C Also those animations are smooth af
@@fangamer2206 because 1. Joe Biden never allowed the trump administration access to the CVC 2. Because god is white just like salt and 3. Because pepper makes you sneeze
I know what you meant to say, but the context is so funny to me. "Too bad this chef got redeemed in the end, it would be real cool if he was a minion of Satan and suffered eternal damnation."
0:01 Saltbaker: "What, still here?" 0:07 Saltbaker: "Hand it over. That thing, your ingredients. For my Wonder tart." 1:12 Saltbaker: "Ahh, is this the taste? The taste of the Wonder tart?"
Can we talk about how horrifying him slicing the limes and breaking the sugar cube into pieces is? Like that sugar cube looks so innocent and he literally murders it to pieces.
5:41, I just noticed, in this final shot it shows all 3 cups alive, meaning in the end he baked the wondertart a second time and actually used it to bring Chalice back this time
Studio MDHR is more Disney than Disney is nowadays. The animation quality is absolutely impeccable. I really wanted the Devil's boss fight to be more dynamic like this one. The dude literally just sits on his ass and cries lmao
You know what’s disturbing? The fact that the ingredients Saltbaker uses as attacks are the same ones you collected on the journey you took in order to make the Wondertart (distillery dough, icy sugar cubes, etc.). See, he is essentially using the ingredients you collected AGAINST you! Amazing boss fight btw.
Can we just take a moment to appreciate the masterful and seamless transitions in the music? Like the change from first to second phase is nearly perfect
Holy fucking shit did MDHR improve a lot in the DLC's animations. Comparing this boss fight with the Devil in the OG game really just makes your jaw drop. The wait was totally worth it.
Im not too shocked that hes the final boss Literally when the 1st trailer he was introduced in people immediately started speculating that he was the final boss 🤣
Chef Saltbaker was a great twist villian. This could have been an out of nowhere twist that made no sense, but the writers made sure that his motivations made sense and they gave hints that he was going to be bad.
It took me a while to realize, he's using the very ingredients YOU gathered from the other bosses as weapons against you in the first phase. That's just insulting.
First phase: typical chef boss. Second phase: magic red mushroom, make my salty chef grow. Third phase: dancing salt. Fourth phase: slaty horrors beyond my imagination!!!!!
I think what people who complain about the "obvious twist" realize THAT TOO, is clearly inspired by how the cartoons at the time were written. But as usual people were so busy going "im so smart I knew it right away" they dont realize they're embarrassing themselves
I thought it was kinda obvious that chef Saltbaker was gonna be the twist villain, but I never would’ve expected for him to redeem himself at the end through community service. That is very wholesome.
Maybe he expected that if he were to control the astral plane he would be able to bring chalice back. Silly old fool doesn’t even know how magic works.
I figured he would be the final boss. Doesn't change how cool he was, the boss fight I mean.
Same lol
Though I find it very odd how Cuphead immediately forgave him.
Obviously, it's a cartoon. It's a reference to the ol joke of how villains redeem themselves and everyone is friends. Though I still partially find it fucked up. Like, he tried to kill him. Tried to kill his friends. For a CAKE! A worlddominating cake!

The boss really is pretty good, but kind of disturbing at the same time.
Kinda freakier than the devil
I mean, considering they were influenced by those old 1930s cartoon, they also brought the creepy aspects with them into the game as well. So it is to be expected.
Nega-Venom Yea totally not the fact he’s butchering sentient foods and how his last phase is you essentially fighting in his guts n’ blood.
@@xN0XvRVLEZx Point taken.
And look how evil his eyes are!
0:24 cuphead screaming sound is so cute
Fun fact: of the DLC’s roughly 4 year development: 3 years were dedicated entirely to the animation of Chef Saltbaker.
…okay, that might not be true, but with this animation quality? It certainly feels like it!
Saltbaker turns this from the Delicious Last Course to the Malicious Last Course
Edit: But his redemption has led to a better future.
Lol
I swear, this boss probably has to be the most unsettling one I’ve ever seen in cuphead. He’s literally more scary than the devil himself
what about devil 2?
@Account Dummy ye
I did Zig Zoinks mom last night
@@dyn956
What does that have to do with anything?
I think it's because of how his pupils are now smaller that gave him a psychopathic look.
this guy intimidates me more than the devil
And damn he killing Poor innocent ingredients.
What a murder. He's more evil than The Devil.
I know I guess when they say looks can be deceiving looks can really be deceiving in this case he comes off as a really cool as early as a really chill as a really cool Baker and it’s kind of messed up the fact that they are but they pretty much treat him as a friend in the end even though he Murdered innocent ingredients
Fr he honestly had a better boss than the devil
The Devil: Makes people working for him.
Saltbaker: Kidnap Cuphead/Mugman/Mrs.Chalice and menace the two others to kill him/her.
I mean, the Devil animation was already awesome but I never thought they could improve them that much 😳
I had my suspicions he was gonna be a villain, but he kinda creeped me out with those eyes and he really made that final boss battle with him to be such a memorable part of the game for me. I also like he was able to redeem himself and showed the difference between him and the devil. Basically, this DLC was fantastic all around and this boss fight was the cherry on top of it all, showing everything amazing about this DLC and game in one battle.
So he used all the ingredients we collected from the bosses to defeat us,
The Lime from Esther Winchester,
The Sugar Cubes from Mortimer Freeze,
The Dough from the Moonshine Mobs,
The Berries from the Glumstone the Giant,
And the Mint from the Howling Aces.
How'd I never realize that
The villains are so much scarier in this DLC. It doesn’t have the same “yes this guy is evil, but he’s also kinda cute and cartoonish” vibe as the original. Not that it’s a bad thing. But it’s a cool new choice, and I can’t place my finger on what exactly it is that makes these new bosses look creepier, because I know it’s the same animation style
He doesn't have those black pupils during the fight
Cuphead is a game that I will never, ever, play on account of it being a reflex-heavy bullet-hell. But I would die for that slick animation.
I think one the hardest things I found in fighting this boss is trying to focus on the objects coming at you everywhere when Saltbaker's mutilating those helpless sentient ingredients in the background. It was very hard not to look at the limes trying to run away just before their tops are lopped off, or the sugar cube's innocent face before he's shattered into particles.
This may have been intentional on the design team's part, and if so, well played... but yikes.
Incidentally though, I managed to get an *A+* on Saltbaker last night when I beat him for the first time! Granted it took me many, many tries to finally win, and I wasn't even trying to do a perfect run, but did it anyway.
Plus I did it with Cuphead himself rather than Ms. Chalice, and I normally *suck* at this game, so it was kind of a big deal for me.
This boss literally killed hundreds of innocents in the first part
That third phase with his shattered body in the background looks metal as hell
When I first got to that phase, I was like “HOLY CRAP DID I KILL HIM?!”
@@smackyguardian No, you turn him into giygas.
You fight eldrich-baker next
@@smackyguardian same except I said is it over?
Chef Saltbaker and King playing checkers at the epilogue scene is amazing.
It took a very long time for this DLC to come out, and boy was it worth the wait.
The animation in this is incredible, it literally feels like a direct sequel to Cuphead rather than a DLC.
Weirdly enough, in the last picture of the epilogue all three cups are fully corporeal. Maybe the chef found out that the true key to the wondertart was, well, hard work and practice?
I mean, that IS the key to my renowned apple pie. Sure, it may not bring the dead back, but I and my friends like it...
If it's THAT good, it might as well revive the dead!
Well, the recipe said "heart and soul" for what I understood (I haven't watched full game)
he probably just used a substitute in the recipe, none of the other ingredients are bad, it's only the soul part that's a problem.
@@BitrateBilly like Mettaton's "I can't believe it's not human" from Undertale?
@@alarkhar exactly
"and lets not forget,the jolly chef saltbaker", doesn't seem very jolly to me.
He is quite jolly, actually. Just...not in the usual way.
Looks pretty jolly to me... In a twisted sociopathic way.
Chef saltbaker and king dice have similar smiles with those big eyes I love them both
And their color changing eyes
Making food look like living beings and then get murdered is something out of Sausage Party.
I'm assuming Chalice found some way to come back since all three cups are alive at the end.
That was beautiful, beyond impressed with MDHR with how this turned out.
Studio MDHR not only reached a crowing achievement with Cuphead they did it again with The Delicious Last Course. I applaud everyone behind this game. 12 years of Hand drawn animation is no easy task. They did the impossible, they caught lightning twice.
Chef Saltbaker was indeed the finest chef in all the lands, but behind his friendly façade laid an obsession. To use his culinary skills to control the Astral Plane itself. In his mind, to be one with life and death would make him nothing less than a God. But for all his baking prowess, he could never achieve his goal without the right ingredients, and especially without the secret ingredient; a living soul. And yet by chance, a living soul would end up finding him! The Legendary Chalice had heard of his talent, and sought him out to help her become a living being again. She even brought up that she knew a couple of mugs who could aid him with whatever needed to be done. Faster than a kitchen timer going 'DING', the Chef knew from there exactly what he needed to do in order to create that delicious last course.....
Nice origin.
the wondertart is basically summoning the 2nd chaos emerald, you need a powerful core, the only that has use and is the nearest is my robot heart
@Otneimica robotnik has gone mad searching the 2nd chaos emerald after finding all of the 7 shards from the 1st one, he discovers at the end he needs the heart and spikes from a rare blue hedgehog species in mobius island.
@Otneimica this is why he wants to get sonic, also with 2nd chaos emerald i meant 5 not chaos emeralds (power quartz) and 7 shards of the chaos emerald, he puts the heart in the secret stone, it breaks a bit and then the 2nd chaos emerald falls, its part of a bigger rock that only wakes up with the heart
Anyone realize that the thing Chef Saltbaker puts in his head before he grows big is a MUSHROOM? Very good reference to the Mario franchise!
???? : so, i've got a question for ya.
do you think even the worst person can change...? that everyone can be a good person, if they just try?
Saltbaker: umm..... Maybe sure.
Sans reference, good one
Nice reference lol
@@sanstheskeleton3279 SHUT
In the last photo none of the three characters is a ghost, meaning that they in deed found a way to get Ms. Challice back
Of all the bosses I find Salt bakers own to be the most terrifying, they did a really good job with the DLC.
5:41 Does anyone see how Chalice does have a physical body right here, meaning that it's likely that she finally got something to get her a physical body and not just stay as a spirit.
Saltbaker did it after he reformed
@@Savvoi But doesn't it take a Human Soul or did he perfect it enough so that it didn't involve killing one of the locals
@@pgwcapt2928 Good question 🤔
OMG! What a masterpiece. It's so smooth and beautiful. Just like a old animations of Disney. It's breath taking. I really like it. I hope there will be more wonderful DLC. Maybe even Cuphead 2 game.
Dude it's called Delicious Last Course for a reason
Though do hope for a sequel
He's one of the few villains that actually redeemed himself for his crimes and felt disgust towards his own actions after some time, waiting 4 years for the DLC to come out was totally worth it
0:54 why’d they have to make the sugar look so confused and terrified I feel so bad every time he’s broken up😭
That sugar reminds me of Percy from the original "Thomas the tank engine"
The moment when Chef Saltbaker had a change of heart was very wholesome
Can we all appreciate how amazing the animation has got
The fact I knew something was up with Chef Saltbaker because he was too nice and too friendly immediately set a red flag for me lol but it's awesome to see he redeemed and changed his ways through community service.
Damn he has to be the most menacing salt shaker ever!
Did anyone else notice how he puts a Mushroom in the style of Mario in his head to grow so big for his second phase? I'm in love with this game and it's hidden secrets 🤩
During the entire fight the charges he would have collected would be:
-2 Charges of attempted murder on Ms.Chalice and trying to cook Cuphead
-8 Murder charges on limes
-1 charge of battery to crate of strawberries
-1 murder charge on the sugar cube
-Abuction on ms chalice(grapping here into the 2nd phase)
After all of this.... HOW DID HE MAKE IT OUT WITH ONLY COMMUNITY SERVICE
Had a strong feeling since the very first trailer that Saltbaker would be a secret villain. Oversiced cheff's in fiction are rarely good guys. Also... the fact that he's cutting up what is pretty much living and thinking creatures and using their remains as attacks... that's so dang creepy. The flawless animation only adds to it, really nails home certain things that can only be done with 2D
“CHEF SALTBAKER! For trying to rule the astral plane and become a god, I sentence you to COMMUNITY SERVICE “
L O G I C
Also those animations are smooth af
The fact that in the end he made friends with everyone including cup head after the betrayal is the true twist
The boss fight is animated very well. Its crazy good. I am glad they took as long as they needed.
Too bad The Devil never claimed Saltbaker's soul or at least made Chef Saltbaker one of his minions. They would've made a great team.
Maybe the Devil and chef Saltbaker are brothers
Maybe saltbaker was a lackey of the devils and was sent to go after chalice. ?
@@Mattcai2004 please elaborate why you think that?
@@fangamer2206 because 1. Joe Biden never allowed the trump administration access to the CVC 2. Because god is white just like salt and 3. Because pepper makes you sneeze
I know what you meant to say, but the context is so funny to me.
"Too bad this chef got redeemed in the end, it would be real cool if he was a minion of Satan and suffered eternal damnation."
I never noticed this but you can see chef salt baker's face slowly getting destroyed in the second phase, the sheer amount of details sheeesh.
0:01
Saltbaker: "What, still here?"
0:07
Saltbaker: "Hand it over. That thing, your ingredients. For my Wonder tart."
1:12
Saltbaker: "Ahh, is this the taste? The taste of the Wonder tart?"
Can we talk about how horrifying him slicing the limes and breaking the sugar cube into pieces is? Like that sugar cube looks so innocent and he literally murders it to pieces.
5:41, I just noticed, in this final shot it shows all 3 cups alive, meaning in the end he baked the wondertart a second time and actually used it to bring Chalice back this time
This fight legit felt CINEMATIC near the end! I'll coin that to the amazing animation and lighting
I just noticed roughly around 1:23, when the salty baker snaps his fingers, they crack a little. That... Actually makes a fair tad of sense.
Sorry 1:18 - 1:19
Studio MDHR is more Disney than Disney is nowadays. The animation quality is absolutely impeccable. I really wanted the Devil's boss fight to be more dynamic like this one. The dude literally just sits on his ass and cries lmao
You know what’s disturbing?
The fact that the ingredients Saltbaker uses as attacks are the same ones you collected on the journey you took in order to make the Wondertart (distillery dough, icy sugar cubes, etc.).
See, he is essentially using the ingredients you collected AGAINST you!
Amazing boss fight btw.
Bruh they really just pulled a Kirby on us
Ikr,Chef Saltbaker is just like Magolor
@@averagebattlecatsfanever thats what i was thinking
Even the soundtrack sounds so Kirby
Can we just take a moment to appreciate the masterful and seamless transitions in the music? Like the change from first to second phase is nearly perfect
Holy fucking shit did MDHR improve a lot in the DLC's animations.
Comparing this boss fight with the Devil in the OG game really just makes your jaw drop. The wait was totally worth it.
2:00 Me when i don't die in my sleep
Same bro, same
😂
Im not too shocked that hes the final boss
Literally when the 1st trailer he was introduced in people immediately started speculating that he was the final boss 🤣
Now Chef Saltbaker is my new favourite version of Joker)
The animation on the final boss though. Thats just Disney 90's movie quality animation there
Fun fact: one of the animators from the Disney renaissance, Tom Bancroft, was involved in the making of the DLC.
This boss fight is best
The animation is cool
This is why it took so long to come
Wow!! The boss looks amazing and I love all his animations and attacks
Chef Saltbaker was a great twist villian. This could have been an out of nowhere twist that made no sense, but the writers made sure that his motivations made sense and they gave hints that he was going to be bad.
This boss fight was magical and terrifying, like being transported into some Disney Horror movie 👌
It took me a while to realize, he's using the very ingredients YOU gathered from the other bosses as weapons against you in the first phase. That's just insulting.
I knew he would be the final boss, but I didn't expect the fight to be kinda disturbing.
5:39 In the last picture, Chalice is alive at the same time as Cuphead and Mugman. Does this mean they found a way to bring her back?
Maybe…?!
Or maybe they let one of the other inkwell isle residents eat the cookie
First phase: typical chef boss.
Second phase: magic red mushroom, make my salty chef grow.
Third phase: dancing salt.
Fourth phase: slaty horrors beyond my imagination!!!!!
Saltbaker being the bad was awesome and easy to spot but what he does god Thats just scary and how he got redeemed is kinda wow
It’s like Chalice said. Nothing beats having good pals.
@@Savagewolver true
Am i the only one who thinks her face is adorable at 3:23?
no, i think its adorable too
@@shopkinspesky count me
she is adorable
I 100% agree with all of you, Ms. Chalice is pretty gorgeous. 🥰
Do you think chef saltbaker is sorry for what he done? 3:40
I think what people who complain about the "obvious twist" realize THAT TOO, is clearly inspired by how the cartoons at the time were written. But as usual people were so busy going "im so smart I knew it right away" they dont realize they're embarrassing themselves
Saltbaker is channeling his inner Coachman. 😵😨
Someone finally made that reference!
