Defeating Mortimer Freeze in Cuphead: The Delicious Last Course
To defeat Mortimer Freeze in Cuphead: The Delicious Last Course, players must first learn his attacks. He will engage in three aerial attacks throughout the opening phase:
- Brings forth four ice minions that advance on the player to deal harm. These minions are easily defeated with a few strikes.
- Throwing cards at the player in a straight line from a crystal ball. Pink cards are parryable.
- Smacking an orange whale onto the ground while halting in midair. There is a space between the swing’s wind-up and its impact so that players may more readily avoid it.
Mortimer covers himself in the snow in the second stage to transform into a snowman. Mortimer’s moveset gains new attacks during this phase:
- Mortimer moves quickly back and forth across the stage by rolling or jumping. Staying in the middle of the stage will let players hop over the roll more easily.
- Mortimer transforms into a refrigerator and releases ice crystals that smash to bits when they hit the ground. Also shooting one at a time are frozen sweets. While shooting the sweets, avoid collisions and leap over the cube.
- Four blades emerge one by one from the ground once Freeze stabs it. Players are warned where the blades will emerge by ridges on the ground.

In the third phase, Mortimer glides around within a snowflake as players approach a sequence of revolving platforms. He now has access to three additional moves:
- When Freeze fires, buckets turn into three moons that fly in crescent shapes. The best chance of avoiding this assault is to remain close to him.
- Every few seconds, he launches his eyeball, which bursts into a vertical blast of light. Jump over the floating eye and avoid the lasers.
- Before returning to the snowflake, Mortimer flies out and orbits the platforms. Four snow cones shoot back and forth from the middle of the screen. Sparkles show the location of the snow cone spawn.
