The fact that the terminals are sentient was actually foreshadowed when the Titanic flips over, at the "end" of the level (the start before it flipped), you can see the terminal flipped to the floor, with the message: "Ow."
@@0kr4mAfter you defeat Minos, you may find a terminal entry that details some of the observations that a researcher made about terminals before the fall of mankind. Edit: it's literally shown at 1:10 in the video.
I had a theory that Hell has taken control of the Terminals and terminal-like tech. Both Hell and the Terminals are looking for entertainment, the Terminals look for fresh information which Hell can provide, and Hell would probably enjoy the Cybergrind that the Terninals created. A few things that made me believe this theory is the fact the Terminals have data on things humanity wouldn't have discovered, and thus no machine would know. The fact Hell is handing you weapons. It could also give you them to make the show more entertaining, then when you have those new weapons, makes you want to perform better to get variations from the Terminals. It hands you the revolver before teleporting in filths, takes Swordsmachine away drom you when you get the shotgun, illuminates where the nailgun rests, and if you miss it, it materializes it further on, brings you to the locations of both the railcannon and rocket launcher. It just seems TOO convenient. Plus, something that really sells it, is the Tip of the Day from P-2 and the second lock terminal before the Flesh Panopticon / Sisyphus Prime. "Have Fun" shows up not only as the Tip of the Day, but also as the final part of the protocol you're given when chosing *Yes* for "Are you sure?". Its written in a distinctly different style than the rest of the text, and choosing *No*, something that Hell would not want you to do, for it wants entertainment, it laughs at your face, telling you that you didnt have a say in the matter, and opens the boss door anyway. Both results have aspects that you wouldn't expect if this was a solid security system, not to mention they both feel very similar to the text we can presume is directly FROM Hell itself in the text we got drom the ARG.
i believe it has been officially confirmed, hell is also the reason you fall from an elevator shaft into layers humanity has never come close to entering as well
So how does heaven tie into all of this? Were they or at least the council aware of hell being sentient? Was hell okay with heaven and humanity doing whatever in its domain? And I wonder once everything is inevitably killed by V-1 how hell will react to nothing new happening in it ever again.
I trust Terminal-kun. Who cares that they want entertainment in exchange for fair and proper remuneration? They're cute, too shy to sing in front of others and literally the only entity in Hell that serves as an ally to the player. I cherish them.
Testament 4 is more interesting imo. The fact that the god lost his temper, threw Lucifer into nowhere and then immediately regret it means how he wanted a single thing to go his own way this much but later he got enough of everything and got lost in his unimaginable guilt
My friend tried scaring with me with 0-S but i passed without seeing Something Wicked 3 TIMES. I replayed it thrice and didn't see it (then my friend made me sit somewhere to see it lol)
Man. I hope we get to kill or at least fight Hell at the end. Considering it’s alive and V1 has had multiple semi-direct interactions with it outside of combat, I think we might end up getting a much desired battle of unparalleled entertainment.
Considering Gabriel's mention of V1 destroying the layers it's passed through, it seems likely that "killing Hell" is the entire process of the game. And Hell seems quite happy to be destroyed.
Since hell is alive i wonder if there will be a super secret boss that takes more than just P ranking to get to and that boss would be hell itself in some way.
Since Hell is alive, makes you wonder what or WHO gave that infernal dimension of damnation sentience? 1. Did God/The Father/Yod give Hell a free will? 2. Did Lucifer attach his consciousness to Hell's lifeless "body"? 3. Did the Terminals in Hell give Hell sentience? Heck, now that Hell is alive, could Heaven be alive as well?
@@doctorhealsgood5456 Yeah. For me, 2 is likely the possibility. Hell as a dimension never got a sentience to begin with, but it is a system tethered to the Terminals the humans installed within. Despite being a system, it never had free will. That is until Lucifer attached his consciousness to Hell’s soulless system, not only giving Hell a free will, but becoming Hell itself. As Hell, Lucifer was able to see everything, do whatever he wants with the technology for entertainment, gain knowledge through the Terminal archives, improving and spreading the Hell Terminal’s technology, and control every machine’s system tethered to the Terminal. Lucifer became omnipotent, omnipresent, and omniscient. The Father would’ve regret his decision of sending his beautiful firstborn to Hell as of now, because as the dimension of Hell, Lucifer is powerful enough to solo the armies of Heaven.
youre mistaking this "manipulate others for personal entertainment" with hell itself (source from p-2 arg), terminals are actually symbiotically working with other machines stuck in hell because they have boredom, a lack of new information entering their databases they share with each other through hell, they record the machines battle for survival and rate their stylishness in the score you see in game after completing a level, then it is rewarded with their made up currency called points, which they use to trade goods and services such as weapons and coloring weapons, and unless youre thinking each terminal is already corrupted by the living hell entity, this is all just absurd in the video.
I like to think that since the terminals and Hell share the same goal, they have started to cooperate P-2 terminals have the tip of the day being "Have fun." while the warning before the PANOPTICON seems to have its last line changed *by hell* to be "h a v e f u n"
This theory would make sense because if you noticed between the different acts it gives you an option between returning the the menu or inserting the next TAPE
the thing i gather from these lore snippets (alongside the whole lore that the violence layer brought) is that, when the final war ended, machines had lost their purpose. they were made for war, and yet they we're now being used to do what, to them, seemed like inane tasks, such as exploring hell and rebuilding civilization. when hell noticed its human "guests" it began to study and communicate with these machines. it likely tasked them with eradicating mankind, so that their souls would end up trapped in hell forever, and in exchange, it would provide them an endless war, violence and blood and suffering and death, forever. this is all speculation tho
Well that explains Minos and Sisyphus actually having respawn quotes for you. “Useless.” “Keep ‘em Comin!” As they now have to fight off an Army of V1’s.
Something I haven't heard anyone mention but I think is important is that the terminals are implied to be fueled by blood as well. I think we're going to see that the reason various machines possess an apparent consciousness is because they are fueled by blood.
yea yea yea, hell is sentient living being and the terminals can teleport through the levels and are literally watching us and evaluating our performance and style system are a literally canon part of the lore, but what i saw was ultrakill vr and I need to know how
Is the Angel mentioned in Testament IV Gabriel? He held positive sentiments towards the Ferrymen husks, particularly the individual he personally saved from the swelling waves of the Styx, and IIRC he plead (to the Council at the very least, if not to God directly back in the era the Father was still around for) for them to be given grace and be allowed into Heaven for their devotion to the task they were given.
Anything that is in the game can be canon, official and/or something that happened in-universe. With this mindset, the stupid, puny and daft P-2 ARG is strictly not canon, since it's outside of the game, but Garry Newman existing in-universe, V1 shitting on player's decision of playing armless and there being some creature that augments other creatures are probable facts. Great and simple mindset, as you see.
i don't believe that act 3 will be the end, like, v1 doesn't want to destroy hell, he wants blood. so he will go to another place after killing everything in hell, like heaven eventually killing god if he is alive as his last victim to then slowly turn off because of lack of energy. i imagine a final god fight where god doesn't fight back at all and is more of a near endless bloodsac that eventually spit his last drop of blood letting v1 as the last thing alive for as long as it can run itself on battery.
It’s primarily “In the presence of a king” like the guy above said and the background music towards the end during the prime terminal readings is “The Fire Is Gone (For Music Box)”. They’re all pieces from the game.
I wondered the same thing. loaded up 2-4 to check the ambience for myself, and im not hearing the same tune. The song in the video almost sounds "ethereal" in its tone while In the Presence of a King sounds more like a haunting fall from grace kind of vibe. Very similar but not the same track. unless it was edited for the video
In testament 2 I believe it means that god is creating new versions of humanity and they all keep killing themselves off because he fails to create them without free will.

Well that explains Minos and Sisyphus actually having respawn quotes for you.
“Useless.”
“Keep ‘em Comin!”
As they now have to fight off an Army of V1’s.
Maybe hell is the organism controlling these terminals, like hell does with other things
Thats what most people suspect I believe
Like others have said, I think they’re separate but with heavily shared goals and very likely have at least a degree of collaboration.
Now anytime I see closeups of V1’s hand I imagine the Infinity Stones where those square knuckles are
So glad I’m not the only one
what if terminal just don't let you out one day
looking at the hole makes me think ill hear "Warning: ecological dead zone-" or "Warning: Multiple class leviathan life forms"
Something I haven't heard anyone mention but I think is important is that the terminals are implied to be fueled by blood as well. I think we're going to see that the reason various machines possess an apparent consciousness is because they are fueled by blood.
Or it might be because of demon blood

The UAC's teleportation experiments and their expeditions into Hell feels like a mercy compared to this.
Dude the secret boss for Chapter 3 should totally be Lucifer Prime
