Cuphead is a very challenging game, despite its 1930s-inspired hand-drawn animation style giving it an innocent appearance. The mere act of surviving a level is an accomplishment in and of itself due to the continual assault of obstacles, creatures, and missiles. The most expert players, nevertheless, will be able to complete several stages without firing a single shot and also survive the experience! How you can get the Pacifist achievement/trophy in Cuphead is explained below.

Getting the Pacifist Achievement/Trophy in Cuphead

In Cuphead, players receive a letter grade from the traditional A to F after completing a level based on the sum of different metrics.

Players can, however, also receive a P grade, which stands for Pacifist. Players that complete all Run ‘n Gun stages in Cuphead with a P rank must refrain from firing a single shot at any adversaries to unlock the Pacifist Achievement/Trophy.

The first three Inkwell Isles in the base game have six Run ‘n Gun levels. To unlock the achievement/trophy, gamers must score a P grade on each of them. It’s vital to remember that Cuphead may still parry and advance to a P-rank on the level.
