These fish, once they escape Cala’s grasp, will damage the players if they inadvertently run into them.Ĭala can summon three ghost pirates by spewing them from her mouth. When Cala sinks into the sea and pulls out a giant fish to attack, she will get either a yellow fish, which spits out an electrified dolphin that homes onto the players, or a red fish that spits out jellyfish in 6-way spread formation. Because of this, her first phase is often hard to beat for many players. It is also important to note that she can only be damaged by shooting at her head at all times. In this first attack, Cala has a wide of range of attacks that she can combine to corner the players and damage them. However, she seems to become more cruel once she is forcefully transformed into a gorgon mermaid by her own electric eels biting her hips.Ĭala also seems to have a strong connection with fish and aquatic animals, for she can summon them at will to help her, and also use them as weapons without the fish caring much. Her first phase death message only helps prove this. The seashell bra she once wore is now made of seaweed.Ĭala Maria is a flirty being that seems to have some type of interest in Cuphead and Mugman, as seen in her intro where she makes a sweet “yoo-hoo!” sound while fluttering her eyelashes.
In her second phase, however, Cala Maria takes the form of a gorgon mermaid, with her ‘hair’ turning into snakes, her eyes becoming yellow and cat-like, her teeth and becoming sharp, her tongue turning fork-like, and her skin turning a shade of light green. She wears a seashell bra, has pale aqua eyes, and has what looks to be gills on her arms, if not scars. It's actually a REALLY short phase if you just keep damaging her.Cala Maria is a giant, lavender-skinned mermaid with a (presumably) dead octopus on her head, acting as a 'hair'. You'll also get lots of EX opportunities and you should use all of them. You have to look closely behind her to dodge the spike pillars, but you should be good. Stick close to her mouth and you'll actually avoid being turned to stone. The eels in the back will try to get you, but you can dodge vertically and avoid them. Then just move above her head again and pelt with bombs. When the eels come out after her first gaze attack, use a super underneath her chin and you'll do a ton of damage and kill most of the eels. Right when she first comes out, hover over her head and then pelt her with bombs.
She has pale lavender-pigmented skin, an exposed midriff, a small button-nose, and two scar-like markings on the bicep of her left arm (though how or why she got. She is a giant, tall, slender mermaid with fairly wide hips. Cala Maria has a physical appearance reminiscent of a typical humanoid female character. The trick is switching to bombs and then hovering over her head because her gaze attack will miss you. Cala Maria is an anti-heroine & one of the bosses of the 2017 video game Cuphead. The trick is to actually move LESS than you normally would - just find a vertical gap in the fish and then when the ghosts come out, move up or down, NOT horizontally. I'm assuming you can dodge most of your attacks and the one that gives you the most trouble is when she sends out the ghosts and the puffer fish at the same time.
