Strategy

Recommended

• Shoot the Spooks and Pumpkins. Parry if needed.

It is recommended to use Chaser, Converge, Spread and Crackshot. P. Sugar is highly recommended .

Battle

• Phase 1
• Phase 2
• Phase 3
• Phase 4

Using converge to clear out the eyeballs and damage the blind specter at the same time. Shoot Pumpkins and parry If necessary.

You will be required to be in a spot where Conductor's hands cannot hit you which is under his head. You do not always have to shoot the Pumpkins and parry its ingot bar, but you might want to if the Conductor's hands are down. Using Spread is recommended as he is always close to the player to not get hit. If you stand in a specific spot at the edge of the handcar, the Conductor's hands cannot hit you.

In this phase, you want to start attacking the Lollipop Ghoul that does not attack first, then use auto aiming weapons to shoot the other one when one is defeated. Shoot and parry the Spooks if needed.

Parry the Head of the Train's tail and use auto aiming weapons against his heart. Beware of the flaming bone wheels he shoots out of his nose. Make sure you can fight off the Pumpkins in Expert Mode.

Trivia

• Early builds name this level "The Train Strain".
• The music in this level, though anachronistic, sounds uncannily similar to the 1958 Lee Morgan song "Just One of Those Things"
• At a certain part in the music (from 2:08 to 2:14), the famous intro to Bach's "Toccata and Fugue in D Minor" can be heard in the background. This is one of the few times Cuphead's soundtrack quotes classical music; another example is the reference to "Ride of the Valkyries" in Aviary Action!
