In the isles' mysterious Mausoleums, they encounter the spirit of the Legendary Chalice, who provides the brothers with powerful Super Arts but often finds herself captured by other ghosts. After receiving a potion from the Elder Kettle that allows them to fire bullets by snapping their fingers, the brothers set off to collect the Soul Contracts.Īlong their journey, Cuphead and Mugman are helped by friendly residents of the isles and challenged by the runaway debtors, who put up a fight to prevent their contracts from being taken. With the brothers pleading for their lives spared, the Devil cut a deal with them, letting them live should they retrieve the Soul Contracts of the debtors who previously gambled with him. Blinded by greed and ignorant of his brother's warning, Cuphead rolled the dice, but ultimately lost the gamble. Their winning streak at Craps impressed the casino's owner, the Devil, who tempted them by betting all of the casino's riches, promising to take away the brothers' souls should they lose. One day, despite the Elder Kettle's many warnings, the brothers wandered far away from their home and found themselves at the Devil's Casino. Cuphead lives in the Inkwell Isles with his brother, Mugman, and their guardian, the Elder Kettle.
