Cuphead DLC - Cursed Relic quest/AKA all the bosses I beat to get the Divine Relic
15I unlocked the Divine relic tonight. Here's a video of the process I went through to unlock it after first purchasing the broken relic. You need to do the Graveyard puzzle after buying the broken relic and then the Angel and Demon secret boss fight. This changes the broken relic to the Cursed Relic.
The Cursed Relic provides the player with a variety of ailments and abilities, most noticeably reducing you to 1 HP at the beginning of every level. Player equipped shots are ignored, opting to instead randomize the player's weapon every time they stop shooting.
You need 16 points to turn the cursed relic into the divine relic and you can't do the same one over and over. Each time you go up by 4 points, the positive abilities received from the relic will become stronger. After defeating enough bosses with the Cursed Relic equipped to equal the required points, the Cursed Relic will turn into the Divine Relic. Man, doing some of these with only 1 hit point, totally random weapons and no smoke bomb was REALLY tough. It does get a smidge easier as you progress, when the charm effects get stronger and will actually grant you some extra lives after less parries.
The points go like this:
Isle 1= 2 points per boss
Isle 2= 2.5 points per boss
Isle 3-4= 3 point per boss
King Dice sub bosses= 1 point per sub boss
I honestly think some of the Inkwell Isle 3 bosses are actually easier than some of the Isle 1 and 2 bosses, plus you get more points for them, so this is the order I went in. I didn't record the first 2 boss fights, so the cursed Relic quest video kicks off with Ribby and Croaks.

Captain Brineybeard
