Cuphead Cheat Codes [October 2026]

Cuphead Cheat Codes covers the secrets of Cuphead, the run-and-gun boss battler available on PC, Xbox One, Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4, and macOS. Set in the whimsical and dangerous Inkwell Isle with its 1930s cartoon art style, you will battle relentless bosses, run through side-scrolling levels, and collect coins to buy new gear. We refreshed this guide and every method below still works, from the secret DLC boss triggers and hidden coin locations to the filter unlocks.

The in-game currency is coins, which are vital for purchasing weapons and charms from Porkrind’s Emporium. Some of the best items, like the Smoke Bomb or new shot types, can cost you a pretty penny. Luckily, players can use codes and specific in-game actions to grab quite a bit of free currency and unlockables. Developer Studio MDHR usually shares secrets through game updates, but we’ve done all the hard work for you by rounding up all the current and expired codes, as well as instructions on how to redeem codes in Cuphead, so you can get right back to dodging those massive projectiles.

Get through our Codes Section to check other game codes, including the latest ones like: Anime Tactical, Tiny Empire, Saints Row 4, and more.

How to Redeem Cuphead Cheat Codes

Since Cuphead doesn’t have a “redeem code” menu, you need to perform specific actions in the game world. Here is how to activate the main working “code” for the DLC secret boss.

To unlock the secret graveyard boss:

Purchase the Broken Relic: First, travel to Inkwell Isle IV (The Delicious Last Course DLC) and buy the Broken Relic from Porkrind’s Emporium for one coin, then equip it.
Go to the Graveyard: Find the small graveyard area on the map of Inkwell Isle IV.
Solve the Graveyard Puzzle: there is no fixed code, since the tombstone sequence is randomized per player. With the Broken Relic bought and equipped, talk to the 3 mountain-climbing competitors in order (1st, 2nd, 3rd). Each one gives you a direction, so write them down. Then, starting from the MIDDLE gravestone, press confirm/talk on the three graves in that order.
Enter the Portal: a portal appears. Accept the nap, then fight the secret boss (the Angel + Devil) to earn the Cursed Relic.
