Goopy Le Grande
With a face like mine is it a crime to be bouncing all the time?
-Goopy Le Grande|Phase 1 death screen
Goopy Le Grande は Cupheadのボス。
Inkwell Isle OneのRuse of an Oozeに登場する。プレイヤーにダッシュやダッキングを把握してもらうためのボスとなっている。
Phase One
戦闘が始まるとGoopy Le Grandeは挨拶として帽子を傾け、プレイヤーを粉砕するために跳ねまわり始める。
プレイヤーはGoopy Le Grandのジャンプ攻撃を避けながら攻撃する事となります。
数回跳ねたのち、自らが巨大なボクシンググローブに変身し、プレイヤー目がけて飛んできます。このパンチの範囲は非常に短いので、簡単に避けることが可能。その間にヒット数を重ねることが攻略のポイント。
十分なヒットを重ねると、丸薬を飲み込み巨大化します。巨大化中に出るピンク色の疑問符はパリィ可能。Goopy Le GrandでAランク取るために必要となります。
Phase Two
In this phase, Goopy reuses his two previous attacks but they are more powerful in some extend:
- He now bounces more erratically and his slam covers more ground.
- He is now able to throw a punch using his own fist instead of throwing himself, and the range is longer. However, the punch is still avoidable by either dashing out of range or ducking it.
After taken enough damage, he will be dazed and crushed by his own tombstone. Doing this on Simple difficulty though, the tombstone doesn't crush him, and the battle simply ends.
Final phase
Goopy seems to die after being crushed, but he's still alive and is able to fight using his tombstone. His only attack is running from left to right and back and unexpectedly stopping to slam on a random spot players could be standing on.
The only way to damage him is by shooting at his face on the tombstone, which can be quite a hectic fight as players have to both shoot at him and avoid crushing by him.
After taken enough damage, he is defeated as his tombstone broken in half with the split stops right to the middle.
Trivia
- His name, Goopy Le Grande, means Goopy the Large with "Le Grande" in French means "the large".
- His design seems to reference The Slime, the common enemy and mascot of Dragon Quest.
- In the 2014 trailer, there was actually two Goopy Le Grande.
- Unlike most bosses, Goopy Le Grande doesn't appear in the ending with all other debtors, which leads to assumption that he was killed off permanently.
- He is also the second boss that doesn't appear in the ending, with the first being The Root Pack, third being Wally Warbles and fourth being Dr. Kahl's Robot. Ironically, only Wally Warbles' fate is implied to be true death (being eaten by his paramedics).
