A detailed guide to the bosses of the third game world Cuphead: how to kill the King of Dice in the casino (roulette)
Welcome to the final stages of Cuphead . I would say that this is one of the toughest challenges of this year’s games. Before you can give the Devil what he deserves, you will need to deal with his main assistant – the King of Bones. It is located in the casino, so enter it as soon as you find yourself in the Underworld.

Roulette of Death
A difficult part of the game is waiting for you, consisting of several stages, the number of which mainly depends on your luck. The King of Dice will throw you a pink dice, which you must parry to stop. One of three values falls on the bone – “1”, “2”, “3”. Depending on which numbers have dropped out, you make a move on the dial of the roulette wheel.
You will have to destroy at least three bosses to get to the final and fight with the king himself. We will show you how to choose the most suitable ones.
To make the right choice, you need to set yourself up for a quick response.
Roulette
If you feel confident in your reflexes, wait for the correct value to appear on the die, and then quickly parry it. Feel the rhythm of the rotation of the die and soon you will understand how to act to knock out the desired digital value.
In three random spaces, you will be given +1 to your HP pool. This is a trap that is designed to lure you into a boss fight. Ignore these positions. In my playthrough, I managed to land on slots “3”, “4”, Second Safe, “7”, Third Safe and Fin. If you land on the slot in front of Fin, the game will take you back to the beginning of the roulette wheel. Fortunately, after that the slot will become safe and hitting it again will not lead to anything bad.
Slot 3 – Cigar
Place yourself on the third slot to fight a huge cigar. This is a very easy battle! There are two ashtrays in the arena – on the left and right sides. The cigar will initially appear on the right and your hero on the left. Shoot the Cigar opposite and dodge the fireballs. When the cigar turns to ash, jump up and dash onto another ashtray. Now shoot the cigar from this side.

Slot 4 – Domino
This fight is very easy if you have the Chaser weapon. Domino uses a small number of attacks, so run along the conveyor and avoid the spikes. When Domino shoots at you, dodge the small bones and parry the pink ones. Attack the enemy and he will soon be defeated.

Slot 7 – Roulette
In seventh position, you will be fighting with a simple roulette wheel, which will also allow you to parry some projectiles in order to stock up on energy before the final battle.
Roulette
When the fight begins, immediately jump up and parry the platform. When the roulette starts jumping towards you, jump over it and parry the platform to land. Another attack that you must avoid is the balls falling from above. Wait for the right moment to slip under them. Keep shooting and destroy the enemy soon.
Boss King of Bones
As soon as you reach the last Fin slot, do not even try to “relax the rolls”, because the battle is not over yet. Now you have to fight the King of Bones himself. Start shooting him in the head. Fortunately, the King only has one attack. Unfortunately, dodging it is extremely difficult.

So, the king will put his hand on the table to start an attack, then begin to move two fingers as if walking on the table. Cards will appear from the hand. Contact with cards will hurt you. In addition, they will go in a large column, so jumping over everything at once will not work.
What to do? Look for pink cards to jump on them, parry and fly to the next. So you can fly over the entire column. Again, in this battle, it is ideal to use Chaser.
Of course, one cannot do without a share of luck here, but after the cards are finished, attack the King, and then repeat the actions until he is completely destroyed. Once you’ve dealt enough damage, destroy the King of Bones once and for all.
