Defeat All Bosses with Ms. Chalice for the Cactus NPC

The female cactus NPC serves as a guide when you speak with her. Each time you talk to her she mentions a story she wishes she could tell.

Once you’ve defeated all of the bosses listed above you will have completed the Cactus NPC’s side quest. You will see a notice from the NPC (or you may need to visit her). This notice congratulates you on completing all bosses with Ms. Chalice and unlocks the Chalice Filter for use.

How to Turn on the Gold Skin Filter for Ms. Chalice

To equip the gold skin on Ms. Chalice open the options menu and go to Visual. Scroll down to Filter and go left or right until you find the one that says Chalice. Keep this Chalice filter active and exit out of the options menu. Now when you play a level Ms. Chalice will appear in a golden form that is slightly different from her traditional form.
