First Phase
In this phase, Glumstone will use a variety of attacks:
Several gnomes will appear on the bottom of the stage and will poke out and use different attacks.
Glumstone may blow his nose as a whistle to call a skein of geese that will fly on top of the stage, catching any player who is on top during that duration.
Glumstone may pull down his bottom lip to reveal two gnomes, brewing a potion, that will summon purple clouds. One type of cloud can be parried.
A cyan gnome may appear on one of the platforms, and will use a mallet to smash the players if they come into contact with it.
Second Phase
In the second phase, Glumstone loses his beard, along with getting a black eye. In this phase, he uses puppets of King Dice and the Devil, as the two will toss their ball across the stage, likely hitting any players who come into contact with it. Occasionally, gnomes will climb into the beard and will pop and fly out from it, with some even being parriable.
After taking enough damage, the puppets will be damaged and the ball will be destroyed, as Glumstone lowers them, before breaking the platform and swallowing it, thus also swallowing the player(s) as well. In Simple Mode, the fight ends here.
Final Phase
In the final phase, Glumstone will swallow the player, making the entirety of this phase take place inside his stomach. The player must always be standing on one of five skulls floating in the stomach acid, as touching the acid does instant damage. The attacks mainly come from Glumstone's ulcer, which is what the player must attack:
Occasionally, on either side, gnomes will jump out of the stomach acid and spit bird-like projectiles that fly horizontally across the screen. Some of them are pink, meaning they can be parried.
The ulcer will move side to side across the top of the screen, which will spit out one of two things:
A bone, which will fall on the head of one of the skulls, causing said to skull to open its mouth and wildly ring pink bells. This can be parried, which will cause the skull to close its mouth, making it able to be stood on again.
A drumstick, causing the skull it lands on to begin feeding on it and sink down into the stomach acid for a few seconds to eat the drumstick. After about 5 seconds, the skull returns to the surface, able to be stood on again.
Upon taking enough damage, the ulcer will be defeated, as it screams.
Trivia
The name "Gnome Way Out" is a pun for the term "No Way Out."
"Gnome Way Out" is one of two official non-Inkwell Hell boss level names that does not include alliteration or a rhyme/near rhyme. The other is Murine Corps.
The Overworld icon is a reference to Glumstone's feet, just while he is asleep.
The Delicious Last Course
After freeing a spirit known as the Legendary Chalice from one of the main game's mausoleums, Cuphead and Mugman receive a summons from her to visit a distant fourth Inkwell Isle. Once they arrive, Chalice demonstrates an "Astral Cookie" which allows her to trade places with the brother who eats it, turning him into a ghost and temporarily bringing her back to life as Ms. Chalice. The cookie's inventor, Chef Saltbaker, unveils his recipe for a special dessert known as the Wondertart, which has the power to give Chalice her own permanent body; Saltbaker notes that its required ingredients are held by several antagonistic inhabitants of the Island, and the brothers set out to collect them with Chalice's help.
Once they return to the bakery with the ingredients, Saltbaker reveals that the Wondertart requires a living soul baked into it to work, and that he intends to use the Wondertart for himself and conquer the astral plane. To this end, he has captured the soul of one protagonist, who may be any character not in play upon reaching the bakery. The remaining two engage Saltbaker in battle and defeat him, resulting in the destruction of the bakery and leaving no way to finish the Wondertart. Unwilling to let anyone else give up their soul for her benefit, Chalice decides to remain a ghost and continue searching for a way to return to life, while still offering to assist Cuphead and Mugman as needed via the Astral Cookie. In the epilogue, Saltbaker is arrested for his crimes and sentenced to community service, during which he realizes the error of his ways, rebuilds his bakery, and makes amends for his actions.
