Yeah, if you're doing P-Ranks, it's pretty recommended that you use the entire arsenal you've obtained in the course of the game. Especially since some weapons can help you get rid of certain enemies. Wouldn't say it's cheating.
@@nikkytheawesome7556 You _technically_ don't need to. Even with nothing but the fists you can get pretty good style through parries, fireworks, friendly fire, etc.
Merg, here's some tips about P-Ranking to make your life easier :) - You never have to do any secret encounters to get an S rank on kills. - I would say using your entire arsenal is the intended way to do p-ranks, as you saw with 1-3 :) - You can double tap TAB to always see your current rank. - Streetcleaners and drones seem to give you trouble. Coins are a great way to kill both. Streetcleaners have a weak spot on their back which the coin targets, one-shotting them. Drones are also pretty evasive, but they can't dodge coins. - When throwing a coin, try aiming straight up or straight down. The coin will be impossible to miss unless you change direction :) - Congrats! At 21:38 you accidentally instakilled a maurice. The sharpshooter explodes projectiles and you shot a projectile just as the maurice began firing. The explosion bounced all of the remaining projectiles back into the maurice, killing it. This is a pretty sick way of killing a maurice, not gonna lie
Since Hell itself is canonically a living organism in Ultrakill and is watching everything that happens inside of it, I'd just like to imagine its reaction to seeing V1 absolutely blitz all of the creatures inside of it just to get awarded the yellow P.
Remember, Merg. P-ranking the levels is not a challenge: it's a warning. Cherish the replayability as long as it last, it's a guarentee you're gonna get folded, crumpled, and thoroughly obliterated... I'll let you witness! Best of lucks!
Just some tips that would make your life easier in this P rank journey: -You can one shot the flamethrowers using the coins. -For the saw launcher, you need to nail the floor to make traps. Nailing the enemies doesn't really do much. -Stomp + rocket launcher or whiplash + rocket launcher are really useful against mobs. -The marksman gives an insane amount of style bonus if you use it right. You can even shoot the coins with the other revolvers. -Getting hurt depletes your points. Be careful.
this advice is decent however, using marksman to 1 shot streetcleaners is unreliable. it doesn't always 1 shot them. sawgun can be decent without the magnet but you should only be using it to clear crowded areas. the rocket launcher, in my opinion, is the last weapon you'd want to use for enemies as its main use is for utility, however, the SRS cannon can instakill cerberus.
@@alloy_amethyst In the worst cases you can KnuckleBlaster punch them as a temporary "get the fuck off me" card but the coins are Still a more reliable way to one shot them.
@@alloy_amethyst Rocket launcher is the last weapon you wanna use against enemies? Consider this: Shotgun parry, Rocket, Repeat. The rocket also has the added bonus of making an airborne enemy go boom. Also the reason the marksman doesn't always one shot streetcleaners is because you need to throw it towards the back side of the streetcleaner. I'd say it's the most reliable way of killing them.
Merg, I am extremely happy you didn't ditch ULTRAKILL and have actually decided to go for the bigger challenges the game still has left to offer, thank you very much, I love this game and it means a lot to me that you are going an extra mile for it!
heres some tips: jumping and dropping coin(s) below you makes aiming easier, just shoot the coins directly below you you can shoot coins with other revolvers, using right clicks of revolvers or railcannons (except screwdriver) on coins gives extra style, richoshot electric is good for ferrymen and mindflayers shooting coins can instakill streetcleaners shooting right click blue revolver on a coin thats high up in the air helps gets you a lot of headshots for enemies like swordsmachines and cerberi sharpshooter (red revolver) is good for headshots if your target has a wall behind them, it also makes projectiles explode, good for maurice 👍 you can drop 3 (or less if youre good at the game) coins below what would be maurice's laser to make him shoot himself, you also get 400 style for it. to easily get blood, knuckleblaster, shotgun, whiplash enemy, hit enemy with knuckleblaster and shoot, for more style, do this while in the air three green shotgun pumps is good for swordsmachines, if a mindflayer is about to shoot projectiles, you can cause a lot of friendly fires and instakill, dash as youre doing it to negate damage for sawblade crossbow, shoot the magnet on the floor rather than on enemies, this makes a trap that is good for: swordsmachines, swarms of enemies, ferrymen, cerberi, im not sure how good magnets on the floor is for nails, also dont ground slam onto magnets or they'll break for green nailgun, the alternate version's saws make sisyphean insurrectionists burn, on the topic of sisyphean insurrectionists, projectile boosting is also good for setting them on fire you can shoot freezeframe rockets or shotgun cores with malicious for crowd control you can whiplash cannonballs high damage: stalker, drones: projectile boost sentry, mindflayer, maurice, virtue: shotgun + knuckleblaster, whiplash but dont build up too much hard damage hideous mass: throw 3 coins into his chest and shoot electric railcannon, if he doesnt die, do projectile boosts for style, you can also parry your coins into him and shoot with railcannon but ive never done it, so i cant really describe the process
Hey Merg. A really important tip when you start trying to P-Rank 1-4, you’re NOT supposed to collect the blue skulls. Above the locked boss door is a window which you can break with the whiplash, letting you fight V2 immediately. This is pretty much necessary for getting the time requirement for the boss. Also, the third level of every layer tends to be the hardest AND the longest (as you saw with Hall of Sacred Remains) , so be ready for some pain. Real glad to see you trying to P-Rank the game though.
small tip. Explosions, slab/alternate revolvers, railcannon and i also think the sawblade launcher are able to destroy glass panels without having to use piercing shots. Good luck with the p ranks, and be prepared.
P-Ranking usually needs to use most weapons, because using all your weapons repeatedly gives you more style points. You shouldn't un-equip them (And, it's also more fun, as you said, lol).
I knew the day would come that Merg would come back ! I think i'm speaking for everybody when i say that we've been waiting for this ! Welcome back, time to ULTRAKILL
I just wanted to say that I have never had a TH-cam account until now and this is definitely the first thing I want to do. Comment On a merg video! I enjoy every series you make and love watching your videos. Every since I saw your channel about 2 years ago you’ve always been my favourite TH-camr. I loved watching your undertale mod play throughs and omori play throughs. I know the chances of you seeing this are slim, but you will forever remain best cherry ever! 🎉 😊
I really nice tip for levels is that if you shoot a magnet and shoot some sawblades onto it, you now have a devastating trap that kills most enemies in a few hits and rapidly increases your style meter. Since enemy like filth will just chase you through it and die instantly, it’s really good for early levels. It’s also how I start almost every wave of the cyber grind in order to clear out the easy enemies.
I’ve found myself somewhat analyzing Merg’s playstyle; not in the “he did x wrong” way, but how he prioritizes certain weapons and how he approaches scenarios. I’ve noticed that he often uses the pump shotgun, projectile boosts, parries and, of course, the sharpshooter revolver, as opposed to me, who primarily uses the coins, the S.R.S cannon, projectile boosts and the malicious railcannon combined with the core eject. It’s just really interesting to see his playstyle and how it differs from others. Oh and a tip: you can hit the ejected core with the malicious railcannon to cause an enormous explosion, which I often use and is very fun.
The P stands for please help me I started this bit in pizza tower not realizing how many videos there were going to be there and I was already running out of jokes towards the halfway point and now I’m gonna have to do even more of these for every P rank video that is getting released on ultrakill and I don’t know how many jokes with this format I got left in me, cool video by the way
just a tip; if you hold down the red arm until it creates the shockwaves, it instantly kills the filth so you dont have to pick them off one by one also an easy way to instantly kill the schisms (the ones that shoot a bunch of projectiles in a vertical/horizontal line) is to jump, whiplash them, and punch them into the ground with the red arm
(Don't tell him that the Knuckle Blaster Shockwave one-shots filths) (and that alternate revolver doesn't need to charge to break the glass) (and about shotgun swap) (and that Knuckle blaster oneshots strays) (and that there is 18 min vid about coin mechanics) (and that there is 15 (alm 16) min vid about advanced coin mechanics) (and that you can kill v2 before cutscene ends) (and about that, that he can one-shot street cleaners (pyros) if you shoot a coin behind them) (also about P levels) (and nukes) (and about A R M B O Y ! ! !) also merg if you are reading this im glad you came back to ultrakill
Hey Merg! Glad to see you playing Ultrakill again! Here's some tips that might come in handy: - You can use coins to deal with the more annoying enemies. Drones (flying purple things) die with a single coin, and Streetcleaners (flamethrower guys) will die if the bullet hits the gas tank in their backs, and since coins aim for weakpoints automatically... you can figure it out - You can grab and place skulls using the Whiplash if you want to save a bit of time, you actually did this by accident on the last level you played, in the red skull room. - The piercer revolver isn't the only thing that destroys glass. Projectile boosts (or shotgun parries, whatever you wanna call it), charged Sharpshooter bullets (bullets shot when you are spinning the gun), bullets ricocheted off Marksman coins, the explosive Railcannon variant, all rocket launchers and even the Knuckleblaster (the red arm) can do it too! I might even have missed something, but this can help you save time. Good luck P-ranking!
worth mentioning that knuckleblaster can also break debris that youll need explosives otherwise and that you dont need the shockwave for it, just the main punch
I actually got my first P-rank on accident when replaying the first Gabriel fight, It was awesome, and I was super surprised! Lmao poor Gabriel though AHAHAH, I was using him to practice since I hadn't played in a while.
Hey Merg congrats on a million subs! Here's a few tips and answers to the questions you had: - You don't have to beat the levels with their respective weapons. Bringing over your weapons from the regular difficulty is fine, as most people that P-rank violent will have done a normal playthrough first and also have unlocked everything. - You don't have to beat secret encounters to get the S-rank in kills. You can look up the exact time, kill and style requirements on the ULTRAKILL wiki. - Your entire menu will glow gold when you do all secrets of a level + P-rank the level. You don't have to do it in one run, but it's extra satisfying. ;)
Hey! Here are some tips for anyone who wants to p rank levels! Use your whole arsenal: this gives more style and it's a more efficient way to kill, and it's also a more fun way to play the game Play the level normally: sometimes it can help I'd you just go slowly and play the level to look where the enemies spawn and think of strategies Learn combos to kill bosses: bosses, when appearing as normal enemies can be very overwhelming and hard to kill quickly, however there are some combos to kill this instantly, I recommend to try out new things or search for insta kills and practice them in sandbox mode or just regular play, the more you practice, the more instakills you will do consistently Learn new movement techniques: try to go the fastest possible, here are a lot of ways to do that, sliding, rocket riding, using nukes (core eject + malicious railcannon) etc Don't give up: levels can be hard to p rank but if you keep trying you will manage to do it
Quick tips: -You can use the rocket launcher shockwave near projectiles to send them back without parrying -Knuckleblasting enemies into the ground is an instant kill on smaller enemies -Sawblade launcher traps do amazing boss damage if you can get the spacing on the magnet right, Flying bosses and leviathan (mostly) excluded -whiplashing a coin sends it back into the air incase you want to set up a coinpunch or an ultraricoshot with slab piercer’s alt fire -you can use your whiplash and explosives to send enemies into traps, of cliffs, or into other enemies/projectiles (friendly fire lol) -If you dash before using the overload explosion on the pump shotgun you can completely avoid self damage, along with dealing super high damage -Hitting a projectile with the red revolver’s beam creates a large explosion, a similar effect can be reached by using the red railcanon on a core from the core eject shotgun -an easy way to hit coins is by looking up when you use them so that you don’t need to move your mouse -the trajectory of a coin is based on how fast you are moving in, so if you keep moving at a constant speed a coin always reaches your crossair no matter what
A few helpful things you probably didn't know about: the screwdriver stops mindflayers from teleporting, which can be really helpful on violence difficulty since they enrage below half hp and teleport much more often when using the sawblade launcher, shoot the magnet at the floor, then bait enemies into walking over the sawblades spinning around it (although be mindful to not place the magnet near walls that the saws can break on) the whiplash can grab items like skulls from far away The alternate revolver can destroy glass and cracked walls with a regular shot, you don't need to use the charge shot
Really glad to see you back at my, and many others favorite series! Especially since we can see you're getting those sweet p-ranks to get to p-1, and if you really wanna go crazy p-2! Don't worry, the reward of those amazing levels are definitely worth all that time getting those p-ranks! I hope you get these satisfying yellow P's faster than ever, but you being the completionist you are, I'm not doubting your ability to do so! Good luck man!
I just wanted to say that I have never had a TH-cam account until now and this is definitely the first thing I want to do. Comment On a merg video!

Hey Merg! Always nice to catch a new upload! Also, at 21:37, you essentially parried the Malicious Face shots! From the sharpshooter wiki: "If the beam hits a projectile, it will destroy the projectile and cause a red explosion."
Merg, a free tip for drones: projectile boost (shotgun punch) is easy and reliable way to kill entire clouds. Granted, it requires a bit of aim to hit at least one drone in the swarm but if you nail it, entire drone swarm just detonates. Also gives a lot of style points! Oh, people saying that the best way to kill Streetcleaners is coins; I'll clarify just in case, you have to throw coin BEHIND them and then shoot it because weak spot is on the back, usual coin shots wont do anything, bullet would just bounce off of coin into their bodies. Bonus cheese: coin is autoaim so if you unsure where the last enemy is, usually you can easily pinpoint him or just outright kill and move on with a simple coin shot!
Fun fact : you can't take damage at the beginning of your dash, so you can overcharge the green shotgun, shot and dash at the exact same time just to deal tons of area of effect damage while taking none :)
This entire game is pretty much just: *_intense button mashing sounds and some grunting_* Meanwhile in brain: _shootthatswapjumpjumppunch-PARRY-punchswapshootshootpunchswapAAAAAAAAAAA_
A tip to check if a room is clear could be to throw a coin and see if it targets something. Good luck and remember, creature of steel, soon dawn's thy reconning
"i'm sorry if that's not how you are supposed to do it" the whole philosophy of this game Is that there Is no wrong way to do anything, as long as you are having fun (unless you are a certain Mayo dude that doesn't know what doing things for the fun of It means *cough* *cough* ), so don't worry Merg! Edit: also, a bunch of pro tips: - idk if you noticed that, but you can (and should) abuse the hell out the fact that you can shoot the gas tanks on the back of streetcleaners to make them explode, killing instantly them and any light enemy close enough to them, speeding up encounters and giving you a ton of style points at the same time. The easiest ways to do this are with a coin ricoshot or a well placed sharpshooter ricoshot (like happened here at 26:12). - 21:41 what happened here is that you shot a bullet with the charged sharpshooter shot, wich has the property to hit bullets and make them explode. This Is especially good with enemies that fire huge ammount of bullets, since they will be deflected in all kinds of direction, most of them being back to who shoot those bullets. - especially since the act II levels are going to get way harder to p-rank (to not talk about a challenge of a certain order and a very sisyphean task that await you after that (don't worry if you don't get the joke, you'll do eventually)), i suggest you to just get in the sandbox and esperiment for a bit all the tricks you can think of, or if you don't want to figure out on your own or want to make sure you don't miss anything, It Is full on yt on guides on advanced tricks and what not on this game. They'll blow your mind and learning them will also come out pretty handfull as you go on. In coclusion Nice video as always :)
Hell yeah, it's time to finally see what the P Ranks have in store in Ultrakill! Ngl going into this I thought the P Ranks would just be for show, but seeing that they're basically collectibles to unlock secret levels is even crazier. It makes sense too, they only require you to perfect the main level. Unlike Pizza Tower the secrets are all optional, the main goal is just to show how much you've improved in the base game. Can't wait to see Merg truly become the Ultrakill! 0:44 Love how you pick up the gun and immediately get all of them back, like they were sitting there, waiting for your return. >:D 1:24 Bro that save was crazy. 2:23 Oh damn- in hard mode you get, well heh, hard damage, even normally not just from the hookshot. 3:42 Merg no. 6:46 I wonder if the enraged Malicious Face is hardmode exclusive too. 7:06 THE FIRST P! Also P-ranks are usually golden lol Pizza Tower was just quirky like that. 14:00 Wait you did damage to its second healthbar- can you kill the Swordsmachine right then and there? 16:00 First try baby! 16:33 Yeah literally huh- 18:54 Yeah if you get gud you can skip all the tunnels lol. 20:03 Bro just crushed Cerberus like it's nothing- 20:42 No time to stop and smell the roses! 29:50 Love how Merg's reaction to Cerberus emerging is just "oh wow". 32:10 Oof. 34:40 Ooo nice parry. 39:55 Woah huge launch! 40:17 OUCH 40:53 Oh you know it's gonna be good when Merg actually shows the run from the start. 44:02 Lol the energy sphere landing right next to you. 45:14 I can't tell if that stomp was needed for the kills or if it was just petty. xD *Bonus: THE ULTRAKILLS* 5:30 First Ultrakill of the night! 14:58 Second and third Ultrakill back to back! 18:00 Ultra-SHREDDED! 21:25 Ultra-headshot! I think you did the same accidental parry thing as with that joke Pharaoh boss. xD 21:50 Ultra-crowd control! 22:33 Ultra-courtyard mayhem! 31:12 The holy Ultrakill! 35:18 Ultra-kamikaze! 35:40 Ultra-railed! 36:06 Ultra-railed the sequel! 36:48 Ultra-railed the full trilogy! 43:30 Of course the final run has to have its own ULTRAKILL!
YES I WAS WAITING FOR THIS!!!! I really suck and mid chapter 2 I gave up p-ranks so this will be THE PERFECT motivation. I hope you fully see it through unlike me.
@@olympique3256I know it's the sissy boi and a boss rush before it. But I haven't watched any vids on it so I know nothing about his pattern or the b-rush waves.
You can Do it like this, and I would recommend going through violent difficulty like this, because it will be a Pain in the ass for you to P rank the starting levels with starting weapons only. really it depends on how much you want to challenge yourself.
18:30 “im not gonna apologize cause its fun” Merg obviously doesnt care about the wellbeing of Hell’s inhabitants. Side note: using all your weapons is intended, the Prelude P ranks are actually made to be easy.
Here are some tips: - the slab revolver (alternate pistol) can destroy things like glass and cracked walls with its normal shot, without need to charge it. - an easy method for style points is that if you ground slam a group of fodder into the air then full punch with the red hand, the shockwave from the red punch will boost you a ton in style - you can ensure high style points by paying attention to the freshness meter on the right (bottom of the style UI) - learn how to rocket ride. It may not seem super useful, but not only does it boost style when riding but it can help boost your speed when it matters. - if you dash at the same time as firing a overpumped shotgun, you can avoid getting damaged. - Pressing E will switch your weapon to its variant, you can use this to skip the reload of the shotgun. You can also press Q to swap back to your last used weapon. I hope these help! P-Ranking can be a challahs at first, but once you adopt a play style for it, P-Ranking comes second nature.
the intro immediately made me so excited 3:46 😭 5:16 my cherry's got a gun you better run or what? 7:13 - 7:21 uhhh...? 17:49 i'm just saving this quote, don't mind me my mum: "apologise to your brother for fighting him over the last slice of pizza" // me: 18:32 21:03 lol 22:32 you're absolutely going mad with power AND I LOVE TO SEE IT HAPPEN 40:21 ouch 46:30 the unhinged bouncing to the end got me this is so satisfying to watch. you make it look so easy.

Merg, I am extremely happy you didn't ditch ULTRAKILL and have actually decided to go for the bigger challenges the game still has left to offer, thank you very much, I love this game and it means a lot to me that you are going an extra mile for it!
yassssss
Oh my god. The exact same thing that happened at 40:20 happened to me as well. Glad to see someone else experience the salt :)
heres some tips:
jumping and dropping coin(s) below you makes aiming easier, just shoot the coins directly below you
you can shoot coins with other revolvers, using right clicks of revolvers or railcannons (except screwdriver) on coins gives extra style, richoshot electric is good for ferrymen and mindflayers
shooting coins can instakill streetcleaners
shooting right click blue revolver on a coin thats high up in the air helps gets you a lot of headshots for enemies like swordsmachines and cerberi
sharpshooter (red revolver) is good for headshots if your target has a wall behind them, it also makes projectiles explode, good for maurice 👍
you can drop 3 (or less if youre good at the game) coins below what would be maurice's laser to make him shoot himself, you also get 400 style for it.
to easily get blood, knuckleblaster, shotgun, whiplash enemy, hit enemy with knuckleblaster and shoot, for more style, do this while in the air
three green shotgun pumps is good for swordsmachines, if a mindflayer is about to shoot projectiles, you can cause a lot of friendly fires and instakill, dash as youre doing it to negate damage
for sawblade crossbow, shoot the magnet on the floor rather than on enemies, this makes a trap that is good for: swordsmachines, swarms of enemies, ferrymen, cerberi, im not sure how good magnets on the floor is for nails, also dont ground slam onto magnets or they'll break
for green nailgun, the alternate version's saws make sisyphean insurrectionists burn, on the topic of sisyphean insurrectionists, projectile boosting is also good for setting them on fire
you can shoot freezeframe rockets or shotgun cores with malicious for crowd control
you can whiplash cannonballs
high damage:
stalker, drones: projectile boost
sentry, mindflayer, maurice, virtue: shotgun + knuckleblaster, whiplash but dont build up too much hard damage
hideous mass: throw 3 coins into his chest and shoot electric railcannon, if he doesnt die, do projectile boosts for style, you can also parry your coins into him and shoot with railcannon but ive never done it, so i cant really describe the process
Also coins can instakill maurices and sentries if the beam or hitscan is reflected at the perfect time.
Hey Merg. A really important tip when you start trying to P-Rank 1-4, you’re NOT supposed to collect the blue skulls. Above the locked boss door is a window which you can break with the whiplash, letting you fight V2 immediately. This is pretty much necessary for getting the time requirement for the boss.
Also, the third level of every layer tends to be the hardest AND the longest (as you saw with Hall of Sacred Remains) , so be ready for some pain. Real glad to see you trying to P-Rank the game though.
Oh I can just imagine 5-3 already... It's basically 1-3 on STEROIDS. Even the skulls are there.
I actually found 4-2 to be way harder to P-rank compare to 4-3. 4-2 took me tons of attempts to do while I one-shot 4-3
Don't worry Merg! You're playing the game the *right* way:
Absolutely Chaoticly Insane! 🙃
"One advise: Use 'crack'. Y'know, like me." - rare loli-man hybrid deemed "Max0r"
small tip. Explosions, slab/alternate revolvers, railcannon and i also think the sawblade launcher are able to destroy glass panels without having to use piercing shots. Good luck with the p ranks, and be prepared.
im really glad he came back to this game, I'm excited for the secret bosses eventually
I cant describe how happy that you retutned to ultrakill its one of my favorite games that you play on this channel
I feel the exactly same!
P-Ranking usually needs to use most weapons, because using all your weapons repeatedly gives you more style points. You shouldn't un-equip them (And, it's also more fun, as you said, lol).
I knew the day would come that Merg would come back ! I think i'm speaking for everybody when i say that we've been waiting for this ! Welcome back, time to ULTRAKILL
So happy to see the ultrakill series continue
I just wanted to say that I have never had a TH-cam account until now and this is definitely the first thing I want to do. Comment On a merg video! I enjoy every series you make and love watching your videos. Every since I saw your channel about 2 years ago you’ve always been my favourite TH-camr. I loved watching your undertale mod play throughs and omori play throughs. I know the chances of you seeing this are slim, but you will forever remain best cherry ever! 🎉 😊
Merg: *goes silent*
Hell: *freezes over and the demons start having a sudden feeling of dread*
Yes!! More Ultrakill!! I’ve really enjoyed your play through of this game. Can’t wait for the next chapter to release!
he slowly approaches one of the hardest bosses in the game after so long
cant wait for p-1 reaction (NO SPOILERS THO!!!)
I'm just waiting for him to say "Pale King Hollow Knight?"
YESS! More Ultrakill! I was afraid that you didnt actually like the game thaat much and just kinda silently ditched it, but this makes me happy :)
Holy Hell, this is the first time we've seen a silent merg in ultrakill
As if getting P Ranks on Pizza Tower wasn’t enough, now this. True capability of being a boss.
I really nice tip for levels is that if you shoot a magnet and shoot some sawblades onto it, you now have a devastating trap that kills most enemies in a few hits and rapidly increases your style meter.
Since enemy like filth will just chase you through it and die instantly, it’s really good for early levels.
It’s also how I start almost every wave of the cyber grind in order to clear out the easy enemies.
I’ve found myself somewhat analyzing Merg’s playstyle; not in the “he did x wrong” way, but how he prioritizes certain weapons and how he approaches scenarios.
I’ve noticed that he often uses the pump shotgun, projectile boosts, parries and, of course, the sharpshooter revolver, as opposed to me, who primarily uses the coins, the S.R.S cannon, projectile boosts and the malicious railcannon combined with the core eject. It’s just really interesting to see his playstyle and how it differs from others.
Oh and a tip: you can hit the ejected core with the malicious railcannon to cause an enormous explosion, which I often use and is very fun.
The P stands for please help me I started this bit in pizza tower not realizing how many videos there were going to be there and I was already running out of jokes towards the halfway point and now I’m gonna have to do even more of these for every P rank video that is getting released on ultrakill and I don’t know how many jokes with this format I got left in me, cool video by the way
just a tip; if you hold down the red arm until it creates the shockwaves, it instantly kills the filth so you dont have to pick them off one by one
also an easy way to instantly kill the schisms (the ones that shoot a bunch of projectiles in a vertical/horizontal line) is to jump, whiplash them, and punch them into the ground with the red arm
Wow, the way how you passed 1-3 is actually epic, through the struggle, menacing silence, just wow
Holy crap, the silence and pure focus on the last part was insane, you went all out on them
Words cannot describe the joy i got from seeing this video in my recommended. Good job!
ya know merg, your ULTRAKILL content was my favorite series so far.
Gosh ive been missing these ultrakill vids. Hoping u will 100%
I haven't even watched a second of this video, and all I can say is AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA FINALLY HE'S ON P RANKS.
Respectfully, Merg gaming.
I knew that “pew pew pew" meant a new ultrakill video. You can't fool us
(Don't tell him that the Knuckle Blaster Shockwave one-shots filths)
(and that alternate revolver doesn't need to charge to break the glass)
(and about shotgun swap)
(and that Knuckle blaster oneshots strays)
(and that there is 18 min vid about coin mechanics)
(and that there is 15 (alm 16) min vid about advanced coin mechanics)
(and that you can kill v2 before cutscene ends)
(and about that, that he can one-shot street cleaners (pyros) if you shoot a coin behind them)
(also about P levels)
(and nukes)
(and about A R M B O Y ! ! !)
also merg if you are reading this im glad you came back to ultrakill
It was truly... the ultrakill...
Hey Merg! Glad to see you playing Ultrakill again!
Here's some tips that might come in handy:
- You can use coins to deal with the more annoying enemies. Drones (flying purple things) die with a single coin, and Streetcleaners (flamethrower guys) will die if the bullet hits the gas tank in their backs, and since coins aim for weakpoints automatically... you can figure it out
- You can grab and place skulls using the Whiplash if you want to save a bit of time, you actually did this by accident on the last level you played, in the red skull room.
- The piercer revolver isn't the only thing that destroys glass. Projectile boosts (or shotgun parries, whatever you wanna call it), charged Sharpshooter bullets (bullets shot when you are spinning the gun), bullets ricocheted off Marksman coins, the explosive Railcannon variant, all rocket launchers and even the Knuckleblaster (the red arm) can do it too! I might even have missed something, but this can help you save time.
Good luck P-ranking!
worth mentioning that knuckleblaster can also break debris that youll need explosives otherwise and that you dont need the shockwave for it, just the main punch
Yeah baby, more ultrakill!!!
when I saw the drone in 1-1 move out of the way of merg's railcannon reminded me of sans dodging.
I actually got my first P-rank on accident when replaying the first Gabriel fight, It was awesome, and I was super surprised!
Lmao poor Gabriel though AHAHAH, I was using him to practice since I hadn't played in a while.
Glad to see you continue this series!
Very nice to see you come back for this! Good luck!!!
Hey Merg congrats on a million subs! Here's a few tips and answers to the questions you had:
- You don't have to beat the levels with their respective weapons. Bringing over your weapons from the regular difficulty is fine, as most people that P-rank violent will have done a normal playthrough first and also have unlocked everything.
- You don't have to beat secret encounters to get the S-rank in kills. You can look up the exact time, kill and style requirements on the ULTRAKILL wiki.
- Your entire menu will glow gold when you do all secrets of a level + P-rank the level. You don't have to do it in one run, but it's extra satisfying. ;)
Hey! Here are some tips for anyone who wants to p rank levels!
Use your whole arsenal: this gives more style and it's a more efficient way to kill, and it's also a more fun way to play the game
Play the level normally: sometimes it can help I'd you just go slowly and play the level to look where the enemies spawn and think of strategies
Learn combos to kill bosses: bosses, when appearing as normal enemies can be very overwhelming and hard to kill quickly, however there are some combos to kill this instantly, I recommend to try out new things or search for insta kills and practice them in sandbox mode or just regular play, the more you practice, the more instakills you will do consistently
Learn new movement techniques: try to go the fastest possible, here are a lot of ways to do that, sliding, rocket riding, using nukes (core eject + malicious railcannon) etc
Don't give up: levels can be hard to p rank but if you keep trying you will manage to do it
Quick tips:
-You can use the rocket launcher shockwave near projectiles to send them back without parrying
-Knuckleblasting enemies into the ground is an instant kill on smaller enemies
-Sawblade launcher traps do amazing boss damage if you can get the spacing on the magnet right, Flying bosses and leviathan (mostly) excluded
-whiplashing a coin sends it back into the air incase you want to set up a coinpunch or an ultraricoshot with slab piercer’s alt fire
-you can use your whiplash and explosives to send enemies into traps, of cliffs, or into other enemies/projectiles (friendly fire lol)
-If you dash before using the overload explosion on the pump shotgun you can completely avoid self damage, along with dealing super high damage
-Hitting a projectile with the red revolver’s beam creates a large explosion, a similar effect can be reached by using the red railcanon on a core from the core eject shotgun
-an easy way to hit coins is by looking up when you use them so that you don’t need to move your mouse
-the trajectory of a coin is based on how fast you are moving in, so if you keep moving at a constant speed a coin always reaches your crossair no matter what
A few helpful things you probably didn't know about:
the screwdriver stops mindflayers from teleporting, which can be really helpful on violence difficulty since they enrage below half hp and teleport much more often
when using the sawblade launcher, shoot the magnet at the floor, then bait enemies into walking over the sawblades spinning around it (although be mindful to not place the magnet near walls that the saws can break on)
the whiplash can grab items like skulls from far away
The alternate revolver can destroy glass and cracked walls with a regular shot, you don't need to use the charge shot
Really glad to see you back at my, and many others favorite series! Especially since we can see you're getting those sweet p-ranks to get to p-1, and if you really wanna go crazy p-2! Don't worry, the reward of those amazing levels are definitely worth all that time getting those p-ranks! I hope you get these satisfying yellow P's faster than ever, but you being the completionist you are, I'm not doubting your ability to do so! Good luck man!
I just wanted to say that I have never had a TH-cam account until now and this is definitely the first thing I want to do. Comment On a merg video! I enjoy every series you make and love watching your videos. Every since I saw your channel about 2 years ago you’ve always been my favourite TH-camr. I loved watching your undertale mod play throughs and omori play throughs. I know the chances of you seeing this are slim, but you will forever remain best cherry ever! 🎉
Hey Merg! Always nice to catch a new upload!
Also, at 21:37, you essentially parried the Malicious Face shots!
From the sharpshooter wiki: "If the beam hits a projectile, it will destroy the projectile and cause a red explosion."
Merg, a free tip for drones: projectile boost (shotgun punch) is easy and reliable way to kill entire clouds. Granted, it requires a bit of aim to hit at least one drone in the swarm but if you nail it, entire drone swarm just detonates. Also gives a lot of style points!
Oh, people saying that the best way to kill Streetcleaners is coins; I'll clarify just in case, you have to throw coin BEHIND them and then shoot it because weak spot is on the back, usual coin shots wont do anything, bullet would just bounce off of coin into their bodies.
Bonus cheese: coin is autoaim so if you unsure where the last enemy is, usually you can easily pinpoint him or just outright kill and move on with a simple coin shot!
and HELL to go, we're back at ultrakill.
I just forgot, that extra secret bosses exist, they are the hardest ones yet.
When the video starts with Merg getting an ASS ranking, you know its gonna be good
Those final 2 secret levels for him to find is something I can't wait for
Fun fact : you can't take damage at the beginning of your dash, so you can overcharge the green shotgun, shot and dash at the exact same time just to deal tons of area of effect damage while taking none :)
This is about to get spicy
edit : starting with the "A.S.S" rank lmao
He is back for more blood after Sans. He needs to relieve stress. Keep going cherry man ❤
YEEEEEES FINALLY! I was waiting so long for you to play ultrakill again thank you!
This entire game is pretty much just:
*_intense button mashing sounds and some grunting_*
Meanwhile in brain:
_shootthatswapjumpjumppunch-PARRY-punchswapshootshootpunchswapAAAAAAAAAAA_
"BEHOLD! The power of an angel!"
The spare change in my pocket:
please, test the limits of everything, you WILL be still surprised at how many interactions there are
omg this is one of my favourite games and i definitely didnt expect you to make a video about it
OH BOY ITS ULTRAKILLIN TIME
A tip to check if a room is clear could be to throw a coin and see if it targets something. Good luck and remember, creature of steel, soon dawn's thy reconning
He seems to love P ranks in games
lets go he did it!! he uploaded another ultrakill video!
"i'm sorry if that's not how you are supposed to do it" the whole philosophy of this game Is that there Is no wrong way to do anything, as long as you are having fun (unless you are a certain Mayo dude that doesn't know what doing things for the fun of It means *cough* *cough* ), so don't worry Merg!
Edit: also, a bunch of pro tips:
- idk if you noticed that, but you can (and should) abuse the hell out the fact that you can shoot the gas tanks on the back of streetcleaners to make them explode, killing instantly them and any light enemy close enough to them, speeding up encounters and giving you a ton of style points at the same time. The easiest ways to do this are with a coin ricoshot or a well placed sharpshooter ricoshot (like happened here at 26:12).
- 21:41 what happened here is that you shot a bullet with the charged sharpshooter shot, wich has the property to hit bullets and make them explode. This Is especially good with enemies that fire huge ammount of bullets, since they will be deflected in all kinds of direction, most of them being back to who shoot those bullets.
- especially since the act II levels are going to get way harder to p-rank (to not talk about a challenge of a certain order and a very sisyphean task that await you after that (don't worry if you don't get the joke, you'll do eventually)), i suggest you to just get in the sandbox and esperiment for a bit all the tricks you can think of, or if you don't want to figure out on your own or want to make sure you don't miss anything, It Is full on yt on guides on advanced tricks and what not on this game. They'll blow your mind and learning them will also come out pretty handfull as you go on.
In coclusion
Nice video as always :)
Hell yeah, it's time to finally see what the P Ranks have in store in Ultrakill! Ngl going into this I thought the P Ranks would just be for show, but seeing that they're basically collectibles to unlock secret levels is even crazier. It makes sense too, they only require you to perfect the main level. Unlike Pizza Tower the secrets are all optional, the main goal is just to show how much you've improved in the base game. Can't wait to see Merg truly become the Ultrakill!
0:44 Love how you pick up the gun and immediately get all of them back, like they were sitting there, waiting for your return. >:D
1:24 Bro that save was crazy.
2:23 Oh damn- in hard mode you get, well heh, hard damage, even normally not just from the hookshot.
3:42 Merg no.
6:46 I wonder if the enraged Malicious Face is hardmode exclusive too.
7:06 THE FIRST P! Also P-ranks are usually golden lol Pizza Tower was just quirky like that.
14:00 Wait you did damage to its second healthbar- can you kill the Swordsmachine right then and there?
16:00 First try baby!
16:33 Yeah literally huh-
18:54 Yeah if you get gud you can skip all the tunnels lol.
20:03 Bro just crushed Cerberus like it's nothing-
20:42 No time to stop and smell the roses!
29:50 Love how Merg's reaction to Cerberus emerging is just "oh wow".
32:10 Oof.
34:40 Ooo nice parry.
39:55 Woah huge launch!
40:17 OUCH
40:53 Oh you know it's gonna be good when Merg actually shows the run from the start.
44:02 Lol the energy sphere landing right next to you.
45:14 I can't tell if that stomp was needed for the kills or if it was just petty. xD
*Bonus: THE ULTRAKILLS*
5:30 First Ultrakill of the night!
14:58 Second and third Ultrakill back to back!
18:00 Ultra-SHREDDED!
21:25 Ultra-headshot! I think you did the same accidental parry thing as with that joke Pharaoh boss. xD
21:50 Ultra-crowd control!
22:33 Ultra-courtyard mayhem!
31:12 The holy Ultrakill!
35:18 Ultra-kamikaze!
35:40 Ultra-railed!
36:06 Ultra-railed the sequel!
36:48 Ultra-railed the full trilogy!
43:30 Of course the final run has to have its own ULTRAKILL!
YES I WAS WAITING FOR THIS!!!! I really suck and mid chapter 2 I gave up p-ranks so this will be THE PERFECT motivation. I hope you fully see it through unlike me.
Go for it. P-2 is worth it. Trust me
@@olympique3256I know it's the sissy boi and a boss rush before it. But I haven't watched any vids on it so I know nothing about his pattern or the b-rush waves.
@@PlatinumSceptile I highly recommend you go in blind, you'll get the best experience
I have been waiting for this, violent is like an entirely different game, good luck Merg!
So, you've come to this at last. I'm glad. Hope we'll see P-1 and P-2 on your chanel eventually. Would be really nice
“He’s beginning to believe”
Good luck in your P-journey, love the content and keep it up!
When Merge goes silent...
You know his enemies are about to have a bad time
You can Do it like this, and I would recommend going through violent difficulty like this, because it will be a Pain in the ass for you to P rank the starting levels with starting weapons only. really it depends on how much you want to challenge yourself.
Brooo I just saw your act 2 finale and was sad that you didn't seem to be doing P-ranks- glad to know I was wrong, hell yeah!
fun fact: the skulls used as keys belong to ferrymen
18:30 “im not gonna apologize cause its fun” Merg obviously doesnt care about the wellbeing of Hell’s inhabitants. Side note: using all your weapons is intended, the Prelude P ranks are actually made to be easy.
Here are some tips:
- the slab revolver (alternate pistol) can destroy things like glass and cracked walls with its normal shot, without need to charge it.
- an easy method for style points is that if you ground slam a group of fodder into the air then full punch with the red hand, the shockwave from the red punch will boost you a ton in style
- you can ensure high style points by paying attention to the freshness meter on the right (bottom of the style UI)
- learn how to rocket ride. It may not seem super useful, but not only does it boost style when riding but it can help boost your speed when it matters.
- if you dash at the same time as firing a overpumped shotgun, you can avoid getting damaged.
- Pressing E will switch your weapon to its variant, you can use this to skip the reload of the shotgun. You can also press Q to swap back to your last used weapon.
I hope these help! P-Ranking can be a challahs at first, but once you adopt a play style for it, P-Ranking comes second nature.
It's my birthday and I get a ultrakill episode? Truly the gift of all time.
Happy birthday!!
@@Merg❤🎉
the no commentary run was soo epic !
Oh Ultrakill finally returned!!! I was waiting for this!
You know when Merg uploads, it's always great, full of rage, funny and makes you happy. c:
LESS FRICKING GOOOOO
i had p-ranked both Gabriel's a while ago. Nice to see merg finally p-rank his first levels. this has truly been the Wait Of The World.
Oh yeah!
The Soul Survivor challenge is upon us.
Good job! Best of luck Merg, it only gets harder from here.
the intro immediately made me so excited
3:46 😭
5:16 my cherry's got a gun you better run or what?
7:13 - 7:21 uhhh...?
17:49 i'm just saving this quote, don't mind me
my mum: "apologise to your brother for fighting him over the last slice of pizza" // me: 18:32
21:03 lol
22:32 you're absolutely going mad with power AND I LOVE TO SEE IT HAPPEN
40:21 ouch
46:30 the unhinged bouncing to the end got me
this is so satisfying to watch. you make it look so easy.
i have waited for this for so long this will be a banger
