First Session: Tutorial, Parry, and Your First Fight

Finish the Inkhead tutorial, learn which attacks are pink, and choose a difficulty from the screen you are actually entering.

Inkhead, by Trout Land, puts you in an ink jar with a pea shooter. The official description is the whole pitch: beat cartoon bosses, parry anything pink, and take down the Clock King. You can do that solo or in co-op. Servers allow up to 20 players. Casual is the written learning option, and Expert is the written hard option.

Before the first boss

  1. Launch the Trout Land experience from the Roblox listing, not a similarly named obby or a different ink game.
  2. Play the opening tutorial. Recorded full runs begin there, and the code menu is reported to stay locked until it is finished.
  3. Read the buttons on your own screen. Ground footage shows SHOOT, JUMP, DASH, EX, SWAP, and LOCK. That is a label list, not a keyboard map.
  4. Find a pink object and a black hazard before you care about clear time. The Belfry lesson is the place that spells this out.

What the first fights look like

The walkthrough order that starts at the tutorial reaches an alarm-clock boss in a gear arena, labeled Tick-Tock Tobias by that uploader. The HUD in that fight reads PEA BLASTER. A teapot fight and the bell-defense lesson come soon after. None of those chapter numbers are printed by the game as an official boss index.

If a friend is in the arena with you, that matches the supported co-op mode. Footage does not show whether the boss gains health for the extra player. Do not plan around a damage split that was never stated.

Difficulty on day one

The game page says Casual to learn and Expert to suffer. A recorded entry screen, on the chapter labeled Tin Can Tex, is more specific: Casual offers free retries and tells you the contract is earned on Regular; Regular is called the real fight and earns the contract in full; Expert stays locked until Regular is beaten. Results cards on other clips say SKILL LEVEL SIMPLE instead. Those words may be two views of one ladder, or they may differ by menu. Read the panel in front of you. The difficulty guide keeps the two wordings apart.

When the tutorial is over

Open MENU, or press P, and look for CODES if you want the reported Ink and Revive reward. Steps and the exact string are on the codes page. Then use bosses to name the arena you are in, and the world route if the video you are watching calls the area something your badge list does not.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

What is Inkhead?

Inkhead is a Roblox PvE shooter by the group Trout Land. You play an ink jar with a pea shooter, parry pink attacks, and fight cartoon bosses toward the Clock King. It is inspired by Cuphead and is a separate game.

Is Inkhead the same game as Cuphead?

No. Cuphead is a different game. Inkhead has its own bosses, stages, wardrobe, and codes. Cuphead patterns and boss names do not transfer.

How do you parry?

The official description says to parry anything pink. In The Belfry, pink ghosts are parried by jumping and jumping again as you touch them. Black spiky ghosts are dodged and cannot be parried. Follow your device's button prompts outside that keyboard panel.

Does Inkhead have codes?

The game page says codes are redeemed in MENU, then CODES, and that codes are shared in the developer's Discord. Listings through October 25, 2026 report 3Mvisits for 100 Ink and 2 Revives. Enter it only after the tutorial, with that exact capitalization.

Can you play with friends?

Yes. The official description supports solo or co-op, and the experience allows 20-player servers. Footage shows two or three players in some fights. It does not show whether boss health changes when a friend joins.

Why do guides disagree about World 2 and World 3?

The Roblox badges only say World 1 Cleared, World 2 Cleared, and World 3 Cleared. Video makers then attach different boss ranges to those numbers. Match the boss on your screen instead of the number.

Is Mugman a playable character?

No Mugman item, price, or ability has been confirmed. The file-select card says INKY & QUILL, and the wardrobe frame shows a head named QUILL BOTTLE. A video title that says Mugman is the uploader's description of the run.
