(Timestamps included further down below)

EDIT: It was brought to my attention that I somehow forgot to talk at all about King Dice himself lol, but thankfully this part of the fight is pretty straight forward, but in case you want some footage about it you can reference my old advanced tutorial here twitch.tv/videos/350636399?t=03h00m51s as the strategies have not changed for this final phase since then.

Here's a link to the entire Advanced tutorial playlist - youtube.com/playlist?list=PLMy8-rUdcLNSXo04JPzk_iIiylEtIiCvV&si=VW_UEsS-2pPZBFdg

If you're not an experienced Cuphead speedrunner I recommend checking out my Beginner/Intermediate Tutorial first! It can be found here - youtu.be/AV1DOVWb8YI

Here's a link to The Devil strategy compilation mentioned in the Tutorial, it contains my personal best times on all the main Devil patterns! - youtu.be/q-YK13GdZRU

Also, here's Holrre's Spider's Kiss best time where he adds in a couple extra lobber shots right before the spider attack begins - youtube.com/watch?v=5StRGyUTCO4

This tutorial has been a long time coming as there has been many new strategies since my last advanced tutorial from several years ago. This ended up being a ton more work than I thought it would be but I am really glad to finally put this out as a fully updated guide for the existing Cuphead speedrunning community and all future players that might join so you all can use this as a resource to assist in working up to getting awesome Cuphead times!
