The story in this game was really fun to explore! Gameplay was really cool to experiment with and what we see in the game is just the surface of what the lore has to offer, hence why I made this video. Everything from what happened to the world, the end of humanity and the fall of heaven. Hope you enjoy!

Another note about Prime Souls is that there form is based off there ideals and how they died
Minos from the looks was blind and was of course the honest Judge of Hell that saw all as equal, so his body was a bluish white and his face has a giant hole in it, and the snakes he once controlled now wrap his arms.
Meanwhile Sysiphus is vastly diffrent as since he was the King of Greed, his body is golden. He was known for extreme violence so his limbs are colored red to resemble blood stains. And he died via decapitation so his head is a ball of light as a Prime Soul.
Prime Souls in general are my favorite part of Ultrakill Lore because of this
The REAL reason why minos prime doesn’t have a face is because Hakita thought it was cool but still cool comparison
@@DivineOrange that is also a good reason to have a hole for a face
nah, he has a hole in his face solely because he was truly faceless, he didnt rule for his glory, he ruled for the greater good of his people.
@@HolyDiverOFFICIALLITY i thought it was cause he was stabbed in the face
This is such a good point that I decided to pin this. I'm really curious as to the design choice of the third Prime Soul. Interestingly if you look at every design choice for every enemy in the game none of them contain visible eyes. Don't know why but it may be because Hell itself is too horrifying to look at?
A theory I have is King Minos was the only one allowed to have eyes in order to view the sinners of Hell and judge them. After Gabriel's attack however, he not only had his eyes removed but his entire face so that he could never look upon the Lust ring again.
"They say the reason Gabriel killed king minos was because he spent all of the lust layers funding on bisexual lighting"
Ahahahahaha lmao
Taken from the wiki and also for maxing out 9 credit cards on percs (also from wiki)
His blood is a controlled substance in 39 states and he personally killed 12... Trillion people, on the faking contrary.
@@voidcatlinghe took his krypto with himself after he died
@@m.d-closedhe has also killed 12 trillion people
Minos is my favorite character in this game. He was a great king. He turned his layer into a beautiful and prosperous city. He was prepared to defend his people. When Gabriel came to crush skulls, Minos tried to reason.
But Gabriel put him in a box after killing him. Now Minos Prime exits the prison ready to not just kill gabe, but now he wants to avenge his species. He is the last king of mankind
Guess you can say
He’s the soul survivor
@@theman6422 **Laugh teach sounds off as ‘Everywhere You Look’ plays**
Last king; trapped in a prison because he didn't fight an angel.
How did he die to robot bro the robot is stronger then god
@@superabudy yep
I think the ARG confirmed that the husks spawning, doors locking and other teleportation shenanigans is Hell’s doing, as in the entirety of Hell is a sort of sentient being doing everything for entertainment, just like the terminals do with the Cybergrind.
Shhhhhhh that's for part 2!
would be pretty metal if v1 found a way to kill hell itself
@@joecobb4604 heaven once v1 kills hell:
i imagine after beating 9-2 you go inthe elevator and you are in an arena with terminals andhell cheering for you
So basically just I have no mouth and I must scream except the protagonist is a robot instead of a human
I get the impression that the final war ended bc the machines turned on the humans killing them all hence "mankind is dead" and why V2 doesn't need blood. It also would explain why Minos feels the need to pass judgment on the machines for what they did to humanity
I believe V2 doesn't need blood as V2 was designed to be more efficient in regards to self repair, especially since there was no more need for violence.
Machines probably killed humanity due to hell itself commanding it.
I believe in V2’s description it says it was remade to not absorb blood as fuel after the war ended since durability was more important in times of peace
Don’t all machines use blood? But V1’s specialty was that it could absorb blood through direct contact
No, no they entered peace a while before they experienced extinction that's why V2 was made
imagine if the ending of the game says "hell is empty"
"But heaven is not."
@@kylesimone6140OH SHIT

2:43 if i'm right, this place is actually a blood factory, maybe they used the husks to make a shitton of blood for the machines instead of using other humans.

It’s important to note that in the Dante’s inferno series limbo is place you’re only stuck in if you’re unwilling to repent for your misdeeds, and if you do repent you’ll be let into the lower levels of heaven.
Incorrect, Virgil informs Dante that the only time a soul has been removed from Limbo are Abraham, David and Jacob in-between the crucifixion of Jesus and his resurrection. It doesn't include souls who have sinned but rather those who are unbaptised.
@@WildCard203 Ya know what, you're right. I mixed up Limbo and purgatory, even though they're literally different books in "the divine comedy." That is my fault, sorry for the confusion.
@@BombShot This was civil. I liked this.
@@jessehenderson2967 sometimes you fuck up and that's okay.
Limbo is for the souls that have not accepted God but lived a virtuous life that's why in the story Dante and Virgil meet all of the logos philosophers of ancient Greece in Limbo. While they haven't committed any sin they still suffer the fate of the nonbeliever.
One little correction if I may, V1 wasn't special because it refuels from blood, that was in fact a pretty common tech by that point.
What made V1 special is that it can almost instantaneously repair itself when coming into contact with fresh blood.
why only fresh blood tho? like, in-game he can only heal from "alive" creatures or right after killing them.
@@matheusalvarenga7820
blood in this universe probably dries up faster than irl so they can only refuel from fresh blood
@@matheusalvarenga7820 I think Hakita said something like fresh blood is oxygenated better or something, but let's be honest, it's because beating corpses for infinite health would make the game less balanced
@@UH-60_BlackhawkI mean, it's hell isn't it?
I like to think that the something wicked thing is actually the Minotaur, since it is trapped within a labyrinth, and the labyrinth is close to Minos’ reformed layer of hell.
oh man, wait until you get to the violence layer
Something Wicked is still a mystery it seems.
I think that it was a prime soul drained of all its will and soul that's why it was so strong able to demolish a machine who has beat down angels this could also explain its skeleton like structure.
have you seen 7-1?
@@fard_blaster69it’s a 6 month old comment, the Minotaur didn’t exist when they wrote it
4:41 you should've said "while being chased by Something Wicked." Since that's the whole point of it's name, it's an unknown creature that is wicked.
I’m a bit surprised knowing before the vid that Gabriel is a fan fav in the community and then finally learning some lore in your video. My first impression of him isn’t exactly high after what he did to monos and ending the lust Renaissance. Maybe it’s more gameplay of his boss fight and love for the voice actor that lead him to be popular by fans then the actual lore of Gabriel. Then again I should be fair and see all the rest of the lore first and not judge with half the info. Maybe I’m incorrectly thinking monos being a swell guy. Interesting all around!
gabriel was ordered to kill minos. minos did nothing wrong. gabriel realises this later in the game.
gabriel's arc is that of a person who has been defined by their faith for their entire existence. He's never questioned his orders, because why should he? He serves God's Will, who is he to question? It's only when V1 defeats him, something that by his beliefs should be impossible, that his faith starts to waver, and while he still holds it together for a while, his second defeat by V1 finally broke something in him, leading to him killing the Council after realizing that God has abandoned them and the Council are nothing but pretenders.
If you are wondering why Gabriel is so popular amongst the community, that has mostly to do with the voice behind him. The VA is just a funny and popular guy, and he has had a shitton of fun voicing gabriel.
@@icecold1805 Nah Gabriel is still a chad, character development is based as fuck.
@@anusaukko6792LIKE, CHARACTER DEVELOPMENT OF LIKE, BAD GUY DOUNG BAD THINGS, AND THEN REALIZING FROM DEFEAT, I LOVE IT 💕💕💕💕🥰🥰😍😍😍🥺🥺
Probably have to rewatch the vid since I had to leave mid vid a few times in the premiere. The game is going for religious themes mixed in this sci fi setting. The Divine Comedy definitely being an influence. It’s interesting as a fan of the divine comedy and I wait for part 2.☺️
I did also find the story interesting! Religion and science fiction are two combinations that were unexpected but definitely welcomed :D
It is like doom
Hamburger
@@Astro_Doomslayer kinda
I mean, Christianity and science fit together surprisingly well, you just have to realize that parts of the Bible are metaphor.
The intro to the dating sim level is an ankme reference to the trope of anime protagonists being lost on their way to school usually "biting down on the last of their rations" (their breakfast being toast or something) and how now matter how hard they try, they're lost looking for their school and are late (the gates of hell closing). And it leads into the level itself being you humping into Mirage
HUMPING?
Wait you actually DO FUCK MIRAGE???
Sex update is even better omg
Dude, I have been playing ULTRAKILL since Act 2 released and have been watching you since your first spooky month lore video (not long, but whatever.) and I have been WAITING for you to make an ULTRAKILL related video, I am SO glad you have made this and despite writing this comment in school I’ll be sure to watch it later and either clarify some stuff or not.
I suppose you chose to not clarify.
mhm ..
You can actually kill Something Wicked. It’s just difficult when you only have the piercer revolver since it’s fast and can instantly kill you.
you can’t kill it, it just comes back
@@Kkbleeblob You kill it then it respawns. You literally kill it.
@@Plazmasoldier so it only has TECHNICAL immortality
@@Plazmasoldier it just gets teleported away, it says that in the terminal entry for something wicked

aww you should've recorded it 😥
woulda loved to see it
Took me 18 tries, surprised i didn't have as bad of a time as others
Also at 10:34 you call king minos king midas
Minos prime is pronounced Me-nos Prime (the e being a long e which is the letter E)
I don’t think it’s too much of a stretch to assume that doom was at least partly an inspiration for ultrakill and it’s really cool to see what may have stemmed from it
Ultrakill is basically Doom and god of war combined
@@noobistrapped7097
with a bit of 90's aesthetics sprinkled on
@@noobistrapped7097and a tiny bit of flash games
Nah it was literally just quake and devil may cry. Maybe a lil bit of doom but mostly quake.
@@noobistrapped7097 I think Devil May Cry is a better fit than God of War. Even in gameplay it's basically DMC as a first person shooter.
Ultrakill lore literally said: God went to buy milk
god goes on vacation, never comes back
@@UH-60_Blackhawkhello mr blackhawk, do you know a fella named Gabriel by chance?
3:41 that, my friend, is called lava. Hakita said this area was used to smelt ores and whatnot into usable materials. Hakita also stated that the prelude was built by humans to gather resources, like a mine.
I'm pretty confident in saying that the text in the beginning of 2-S (the visual novel) is a joke. The character you play as is late to school and is running there. There are lines such as "the bell tolls for me" that imply that the text is just Hakita is making it seem like the level is serious, just to surprise us with the whole visual novel thing. The text is an overcomplication of the character running to school, the bell ringing and the gates of the school closing while they're eating their "last rations" (breakfast to-go). I found it funny that you actually thought it was supposed to be from the perspective of a husk lol. I understand that the joke was hard to figure out tho, Hakita was really playing 4-D chess with this one.
It's a metaphor for how schools are far more sinister for the kids attending than the rest of people
I'm sure he refering previous sentence prior dating sims
What I love about Ultrakill, is the lore maybe dark and depressing, but the gameplay is like a rollercoaster joyride. Where you felt the adrenaline rushing through your veins as you also having fun.
Minor Order of Operations correction:
I think it's assumed that Gabriel is designated as the Judge of Hell *prior* to the Judgment of King Minos for creating the Lust Renaissance, because well, he's making a judgment unto Minos
Perhaps, but we could also see the killing as a symbolic final step for his status. You wouldn't become the next heir to a king until the current king passes away.
@@WildCard203 minos is not stated to use his full power in game, wiki, or by the creator
My theory for the meat grinder beneath the floor was because if a horde demons tried to pass and the machines or anykne failed to stop them they could just shoot the floor.
Thank you for putting captions! It’s so hard to find gaming and lore videos like this with captions on them
Gonna study the whole lore of this game lmao my boyfriend loves it and cant stop talking about it and i want to show him I care. Thanks for the video
That's actually really wholesome haha, glad I could help :)

imagine in act 3 you fight moses, adam, eve, and other biblical figures and mythological character as bosses
nah we will fight Jesus prob. Bros remebered by all the christians so he will definetly be so powerful that we prob wont kill it even tho we win the fight.

i love how instinct it is between gamers to try to fuck with NPC's in a scripted event granting player movement.
dude this video is awesome, i love how you added more to the lore
your interpretations are awesome there are things i never realised, it's great
good work, earned a sub
While I can't help and give Minos a well-deserved pat on the back for the Lust Renaissance and helping those who didn't do anything wrong, I can't help but think about all the...less than virtuous souls in that layer. Truly depraved and disgusting people who absolutely deserve eternal damnation...when you put it like that it's no wonder why Gabriel killed first and asked questions later.
"It is better 100 guilty Persons should escape than that one innocent person should suffer" -Benjamin Franklin
Besides, Minos clearly shows a strong sense of justice, like how despite being thankful that V1 saved him, he still knows it's a murderer and tries to punish it because his moral sense couldn't let something like that stand. So there's little doubt that if the rapists and pedos tried anything under his reign, he'd be quick to punish them in his own way.
I could imagine that the husks could potentially be the police force of that layer, keeping those who have undoubtedly committed horrible crimes at bay. Maybe that's a point that Minos would try to make, but Gabriel didn't see the worth in reforming the whole layer
iirc stuff like rape puts you in Violence, so lust is just for pre-marital sex havers and the like
the first three sentences remind me of how that could possibly be a reality and to me the most scariest thing in ultrakill
The Cerberuses all are alive, some just choose not to fight
True most Cerberi are inactive, even though alive, but that's because they are guardians of Hell's objects, only if what they guard specifically is affected, they do not care.
@@V1TheWarMachinecerberi just seems wrong, English is weird
Or am I just dumb?
@@Marder_IFV I’m literally the game’s protagonist, so I’m about 99% sure that it’s Cerberi.
@@V1TheWarMachine didn't realize you were V1, hai tho
@@Marder_IFV Hakita is a really cool dude. Making my life story into a game, like, that’s pretty hard, especially with all the demons, robots, people, organic matter, and animals I’ve killed
Cancerous rodent is a reference to the TH-camr Civvie11, where the area it is found in is reminiscent of the opening crawl of Civvie’s Dungeon
In my headcanon, Ultrakill is set after the Profane Sabbath incident ending in Faith 3
Very well done and informative, thought I knew all of this but some things surprised me. 👍👍
“After the death of humanity, there were no humans left on Earth.”
Awesome video! Even with 40hours on ultrakill i didnt know half of this
In the final part of limbo you can actually break the glass above the door with the 3 skulls and move on
I found that on accident when I couldn't find the 3rd skull lol
One must imagine V1 happy.
waiting for part 2.... i love this video so much it really cleared things up for me
16:25 "punishment" lmao
The lore in P-2 end terminal tells that the terminals are also blood-powered robots. So it seems humans actually used hell as an energy source and this also explains 0-2 The Meatgrinder and the flows of blood, it's used to turn deamons and husks into blood to power the teleporters and terminals.
People need to like these videos more, this was a great video tbh i hope your channel grows from it:]
Nice video it hasn't released yet but I sure it will be great!
The story of Minos is very sad :(,but i really like his story
Hey, a little correction on the opening monologue of 2-S, it’s literally just a dramatic explanation of a anime running to school with bread on mouth scenario
8:40 on the gameplay, i don't know if you know this or not, in limbo, there are other secret buttons across every map. when you press all of those buttons (including the IV you pressed) you can unlock an alternate of the pistol, which does a lot more damage but has a slower cooldown. You can also get an alternate for the nailgun in greed, but in a different way.
this lore almost made me cry
one small note: gabriel was piloting minos not the parasites
notable to mention in the lust layer there is a level that has 2 skeletons laid ontop of eachother as a sort of a reference to intercourse which means minos didn't punish or didn't really care about humans having lust even being sentenced to hell for that
I feel like v1 and Minos prime could have teamed up since they have a common enemy (Gabriel)
I feel bad for killing Minos now :(
King Minos' corpse is controlled by parasites, as it was controlled by minos himself he watches in grief and sadness seeing what he made to the lust layer be destroyed by angels. After God left King Minos decides that such punishment is unfair especially to the lust layer as he did belive that it was only meant to show such love and affection and what others wished to do when togheter atleast what Minos knew that at this point hell is out of control, therefore he builds cities and makes lust a new layer, with such reform and greatness has remade lust to a new layer, what God would like after realising that such cruel punishment made by his own hands was a wrongdoing because of what he does is meant to be only good and sending his son to that place has made him weep realising that eternal tormet was the worst act God has ever done wich is create hell. After the new council of heaven realises what minos had done they destroy the place to shreds, Gabriel was the main peosecutor in that battle, the council tought that he was doing such act that god would not like, Minos tried to peace with Gabriel but he was stabbed in the neck by Gabriel's blade and he responded with i think was... "No." And then he sliced Minos' head off showing it to the entirety of lust layer, it was mayhem, Minos' soul was trapped into a supreme being made out of angelic and demonic angels what i like to call a Supreme Hybrid, who was called "Flesh Prison.", it was meant to imprison Minos' soul, but his soul was filled with such grief, determination, strenght, and anger, he became something with such rarity called a "Prime Soul", therefore after V1 beats Flesh Prison wich was meant to guard it from anything, Minos' soul releases and he takes physical form with a new name, "Minos Prime.", he knew the acts of V1 and what happened to Gabriel after V1 defeated him, Minos would leave V1 alone but he knew the massacre and genocide he had done, and as to settle a punishment will kill him, but unfortunately, he underestimated the power of the robot, with his vengeance away and revenge gone, he is in grief as his people in lust layer needs help, but unfortunaly, Minos dies, settling an end for King Minos.
I can't wait for WildCard to make Act 2 lore video
So I just beat the whole game in one day and looked for lore stuff and now I’m hooked. When part 2?????
Great video
There is a lot of information I find a little inaccurate. Let's start from the beginning.
V1 is created during the Final War and goes obsolete because of New Peace. V2 is created for patrol during the New Peace. Since the machines ran off blood, no war means no blood, so the machines took matters into their own hands and started slaughtering everyone. Hell may have been involved in some way, but it is never mentioned. Once the slaughter was done, the machines went to hell using the terminals, teleportation machines conveniently built by the humans during the New Peace. V1 goes on a rampage, speedrunning the first 6 layers in as little as 25 hours, seeing as Gabriel hadn't died by the time we got there.
Likely sometime during the Great Peace, God disappeared, causing a scramble for power, and thus came about the council. During the power struggle, Minos and Sisypus led revolutions, with both ending up dead. God likley left to somewhere beyond even Heaven.
My theory is that God inpired man to build V1 in order to eventually destroy Hell. God said in a secret mission that he didn't have the ability to destroy Hell. V1 alone managed to destroy 6 layers of Hell in less than a day. What better way to destroy something you can't yourself than by building the perfect killing machine? It is likely this will ultimately end up with Hell destroyed completely and God remaking the universe, with God likely giving V1 some sort of reward, maybe an infinite amount of blood or something.
Edit: Just thought of this, what if Gabriel is the last prime soul? You see his will strengthen after a second defeat, maybe his soul becomes strong enough to form a prime soul after he dies by being cut off from God's light.
v1 is papa's special *FUCKING **_BOY_*
"after the death of humanity, there were no more humans"
Truly the biggest lore drop in this video
So, in short, our boy V1 was hungry and went to hell to eat some snacks
a bit too many snacks because gaybriel is a bit angry
Good video I liked it ❤❤❤❤❤
The info on "the great peace" sounds really sinister to me. It says stuff like, "war was no longer relevant". Not gone, or over, but irrelevant.
Wow your great keep going
Really fascinating stuff!
It's interesting to see a fanfiction (Dante's inferno) turned into a low poly high intensity action game and some of the dev's ideas on directions things could have gone in that circumstance.
It's funny how as humanity, we can't fathom God having the patience, mercy and grace to put up with humanity.
Please make a part 2 i subbed
I dont remember watching this, surprisingly... Idk why so Imma rewatch
Minos prime was incredibly unreasonable..
"Oh my god sir you are finally in the event"
"What event"
"Weiner compression day"
Note about street cleaners: the one sentence, They don't fire flame through an "Unkown source" they use flamethrowers, which can kill you in near seconds.
3:43 I'm pretty sure that's just Lava, sir.
Since i got it on halloween all enemies have a pumpkin head and I didn't think it was just an event. Even in the dating sim mirage had a pumpkin head. XD

The Cancerous Mouse bossfight is a nod to Civvie 11 and Cancer Mouse
11:53
I see what you did there with the word "bizarre" in THAT level
“You have uno!!”
It does seem that humanity both used blood and Hell energy before machines turned on them (as it's not just V1 who uses blood to power itself, practically all the robots bleed)
Humans basically has made more or less a "species" that can and needs to feed
Awesome
I'm just waiting for part 2 bro because I want to know more.
Ultrakill lore but short: War machine decended down to hell for fuel and ends up murdering everything he sees
Before you enter hell, V1 journey through an ore excavation site with the grinder used for grinding ore and the golden stream is the ore that is running through the level
Wow I didn't think the Lore was this simple
All V’s that I know of
V1, V2, V (murder drones)
Wait V1 and V2 and V all have to drink some kind of blood to not die
Fun fact: the bodies that were burnt in the limbo level were the old models of the husks.
I have never played or watche anyone play this game and yet I'm watching this
This man literally +REMAINING TEXTS
While most other just TEXT: IRRELEVANT
awesome.
I remember a video where a guy made something it looked like ultra kill and it was for his presentation in school
20:58 That or V1 just cleared out all the blood sources and needs to go deeper for more (the terminals are still definitely sentient tho).
