what makes this layer even cooler is that hakita said he made the layer a bright white is because it makes the blood stains of your enemies more apparent, further displaying the violent creature youve become. “THE WORLD IS YOUR CANVAS. SO TAKE UP YOUR BRUSH, AND PAINT.” fucking genius.
The mannequins are creepy enough on their own, but I RECOILED from my chair when I heard them breathing. I thought I was tripping but if you stand up close to em with decent volume you can hear a little wispy breath every now and then. Made layer 7 wayyyy more tense
you gotta be either the worst best player or the best worst player i've ever seen, you've accomplished everything the game has thrown at you and yet also struggle more on new content than anyone i've seen. you'll walk into a room that tilted me to hell and back and waltz through it, and fight a boss without reasling you can just move with the lasers. noone else could ever do it like you. mad respect
Lmao y'know what thanks I needed to read this today, I don't really care about how the way I play is perceived but it's nice to see someone kinda gets that that's the brand here amidst a lot of people taking someone else's gameplay way too seriously.
It took me 2 days to beat Layer 7 Why?, Because i was actually exploring and taking my time trying to enjoy the game without having to think like adhd brainwashed mf who carries the brainrot from a 2 second attention span kid TLDR: Ur both pretty cool people for thinking like this
@@DumpsterManVODshey man this might be random but I'll let you know i appreciate watching your vods of video games, and if (shameless plug) u should watch this guy called Albino, he experienced the kind of treatment with ultrakill when he started, he was judged for like not knowing how to do stuff and he found the slab revolver himself but instead of changing his playstyle he kept playing with the slab revolver until sussyphus, keep up the good work
My jaw still hurts because how hard it dropped when I saw the boss in 7-4. Also, Hakita made the layer fairly accurate to the original circle of violence in the Inferno. Said circle is guarded by the Minotaur in the source material, the river of blood in 7-2 is the Phlegethon, where those violent against others were punished, and 7-3 is the forest of suicides, where those who were violent against themselves were punished. I like to think the Earthmover is striding across the abominable sands, where those violent against god (blasphemers) are. EDIT: It is! I didn't notice it while playing, but you can see the rain of fire during 7-4, that's how sinners there were punished.
If you think about how god has been characterized in Ultrakill, placing the earthmover there makes sense. God was so frustrated with free will and humanity using it to destroy each other phsyically and morally that he abandoned his creation. These giant war machines were symbols of the final war going to such extremes that humanity had to live upon them instead of the earth. The ultimate expression of free will against god's creation. Placing them in the circle that stands for violence against god is so perfect I'm sure Hakita thought of it at least a little bit. The real question is what brought humanity to hell after the new peace? Because that new peace seems like something god would be happy to see if only he had stuck around
@@zachrabaznaz7687 kinda true but I P rank most of them in my 2nd and 3rd run, I learned every single thing about them without spoilers and sandbox tomfoolery Edit: 7-4 is cool and pretty difficult for a stationary enemy but I don't like it at all
Arent guttertanks the guys that shoot rockets? If so then use your rocket launcher to stop their rockets and then make the rockets that you stopped - fire at the enemy. (it instakills)@@zachrabaznaz7687
I definitely love the level, found the actual boss portion frustrating and a bit underwhelming though admittedly, probably keeps it out of consideration of my favorite level but it's definitely still a top notch one despite that.
I struggled on this first time through but yeah every other time it's been fine I more or less got the strat down (you'll see in tomorrow's VOD if you watch) I just haven't gotten to the point where I find it *fun* yet lol but it's not a huge deal the level is still very cool.
Each tree in the second layer of violence (7-3) in Dante's inferno is a person who has taken their own life... A literal suicide forest. Dark stuff for haha funny blue robot game.
I mean, the lore of the game is pretty disturbing, even if the game can be pretty goofy at times, have you read the new chaingun guy's terminal entry? They can't absorve blood like V1, so they have a living human being inside the coffin on their backs, constantly having their blood drained, but still kept alive so they have a constant source of fresh blood.
honestly I wasn't that excited for violence as I was burnt out on ultrakill for a good long time but this absolutely destroyed my expectations. 7-4 is honestly one of the best first level experience I've ever had and the atmosphere was amazing for every especially 7-3 (nearly shat my pants there). Common Hakita W
my first experience with 7-4 literally made me take a couple seconds to just comprehend the sheer scale of the boss also just that one willem dafoe looking up meme
I really liked Hakita brought us so many enemies in a single layer, the difficulty increase was noticeable aswell although I think guttertanks should be nerfed for the sake of the world, one thing I would like to point out is the symbolism and ambience protrayed in 7-2 and 7-3, it feels like things are getting darker and darker without having to dive too much into the lore, hope Ultrakill gets GOTY or nominated when it fully comes out, such an amazing experience. 7-3 challenge feels as hard as P-2 gauntlet
For 7-4 boss there's a platform in the outmost radius of the arena that's slightly elevated, which makes it much easier to dodge the 1 laser at the bottom and the "high" jump. Just keep alternating between those elevations
@@DumpsterManVODs movement version of the strat is slam jumping as mentioned in the terminal. the high one is always after the lower one allowing for that to be easier as it gets faster
@@lonearachnid6591 Yeah I think the issue with that is that the game had never prepared anyone for this type of gameplay and accurate height control, most people get the idea but actually executing that strategy is insanely difficult
Gosh Hakita again cementing ULTRAKILL as a masterpiece of a game, this Layer was so good. I really love level design on 7-1 in particular, the concept of using one skull key for multiple pedestals and utilizing backtracking for it is such a simple concept, but it gives such a fresh spin to the level progression. That level and just the Violence Layer overall really embodies what FUNKe describes the game design: "This continuous ramp-up is so masterfully weaved that you never once feel like it's padding for time. They'll introduce a new concept, play with it a bit, and then subvert their own concept."
7-1 is cool because its confusing and feels like a maze which makes for an incredible first experience, but you'd think would make P ranking it incredibly difficult and annoying. Except somehow the second you understand what the level is doing it instantly stops being confusing and is instead shockingly easy to navigate. That is game design.
41:16 fully expected the trees to start fighting the moment I got to this level. But real talk, layer 7 is great, it nails the thematics that it’s going for, and all of the enemies are fun as hell to fight. By far my favorite layer to come out of the game, very excited for the full game to release
100% my favourite layer in the game so far. Violence just nails everything, especially the atmosphere of the levels. And I love the new lore about the war and the machines that fought in.
this layer had so much lore compared to the others, tons of info about the three parts of the final war, learning what the climate catastrophe was, and also some more minos lore
I loved the lore, we always knew of a war that was so strong and created v1 in the process. This layer gave us so much lore about this insane lore. Giant machines getting launched in bomb shells, machines fighting machines completely phasing our human soldiers and giant unstoppable titans which ended the war itself. Amazing lore.
Through the power of getting lost and not seeing the exit I found the hint leading to the secret boss thinking it was the actual exit and after defeating it I was confused and eventually found all the secrets and ended with a facepalm feeing as I found the door leading down. After losing most of my health to the Minotaur accidentally I fought in a dumb way intending to die quickly but went out swinging and accidentally beat it as I tried to die fighting stupidly, this game works in mysterious ways.
7-4 gotta be my favorite bro. traversing a massive machine and leaping off as it explodes has to be the sickest shit i've ever seen WITHOUT CUTSCENES in a video game. boss (moreso bosses) was cool too, liked the different aspect!
@@jimboanimations4041 I just kinda shot saws, railcannons and projectiles boosts at it just fast enough so the idol sequence wouldn't trigger, It ain't that hard really.
@@higgz2036 Which is an issue. If you are too slow to kill it, the fight punishes you further with infinitely replenishing idols. If you are too fast, then it becomes further trivialized.
It's only been one day and yet this has already become my favorite update in the whole game. Creative and unique level design, really cool enemies with new mechanics and the most detailed models yet, a fun buff to my favorite weapon the Rocket Launcher, TONS of secrets and easter eggs, interesting new additions to the lore, great music, good difficulty, and one of the single most badass looking levels I have ever seen in a video game. Hakita is an absolute genius and the Ultrakill team is fucking COOKING.
@@flipperjr.3822 Without getting too deep into House of Leaves because it's an incredibly complicated book, the Minotaur is a character/theme that appears very prominently in the book and all text regarding the Minotaur in the House of Leaves is also crossed out and in red, similar to all text for the Minotaur in Ultrakill.
Ehhhhh no, it's a reference to the Inferno in the Divine Comedy. The Minotaur was the guardian of the entrance to the circle of Violence, and Dante and Virgil had to distract it to continue further.
house of leaves is probably my favourite book, but i'm desperately hoping the majority of the community doesnt catch on since its just gonna be p-2 spam all over again
Its so funny how pretty much everyone had a similar experience with the minotaur where they die immediately apon realizing they can't heal while in the cart. I'm nothing without my heals
Gosh what an absolutely great addition😩Every level felt different from the other one but felt like they belonged with eachother everything was just SO BEAUTIFULLY MADE and I absolutely loved that Minotaur boss fight too it looked so cool but I wish it's second phase was a little bit longer but besides that this layer is definitely the most outrageous and unique one out of every single one. Thank you Dumpster MAN for being my #1 go to for ULTRAKILL content (and also just curious but will you still play more Custom Levels sometime soon???)
Next up is P-ranks for Violence which I will hopefully get done within this next week (not anticipating too much trouble, just busy with family for the holidays) and then I will do more custom levels for sure!
Oh btw, in Minotaur's terminal entry, it is said that its creator gave it as gift to former judge of hell Minos who abandoned it to the garden, and as it grew older, his body starting to degrade and fall off, it had only one desire, to see the sky before his death, and we didn't even let him fulfil his wish
This layer was way beyond my greatest expectations, i got blown away. Ultrakill is a game that keeps getting better in geometrical progression and it's fantastic.
The 7-4 boss fight feels like something i would only see in a triple A game, and even then colossal boss fights in games can often be lackluster. This one was great though, from the climbing, to the boss, to even the escape sequence. Genuinely amazing layer from start to finish, had me in awe at so many points. I hope Fraud and Treachery will be just as good
EDIT: I'm leaving this up, but I see that I need to clarify a bit. This has nothing to do with just giving advice or constructive criticism, I regret my wording a bit but I wrote it in a moment of frustration after deleting a significant handful of comments just flat out calling me stupid (or worse), if you see a comment about it that's still up... I'm not talking about those comments. Like I'm not saying don't give me advice or don't comment on my fight with the Earthmover at all, more just that I absolutely know I did it in a dumb way, and I already figured out the much better strat, and that I don't feel like calling me 'stupid' or whatever is really necessary or productive cause like... I already know. I don't really obsessively read comments as much as I used to for reasons basically exactly like this, but I was excited to discuss the new layer with people and was just disappointed it turned into all comments on my Earthmover fight, and just wanted to encourage a friendlier comment section, there was no ulterior motive and I was just honestly surprised to wake up to so many comments on this as I didn't realize people were going to take it really any other way. I apologize if it was interpreted any other way though, I'm gonna leave this up for context, and yeah I'm bowing out of this one as I very clearly need to. ORIGINAL COMMENT: Hey, you! If you're on your way to the comments to write something about the way I fought the Earthmover, maybe... just like don't? I've already heard it all. I've been called "stupid" and a bunch of other shit for just fighting in it a kinda dumb way. I obviously know that I fought it in a dumb way, I realized that literally 0.3 seconds after I finished it, but I do things my way here and if you're still watching this channel expecting always perfect gameplay without an ounce of buffoonery... Why the hell are you watching my channel anyways? I went back literally later in the same stream and fought it 'normally' in a VOD being posted tomorrow, so you can all *RELAX.* My opinion is I still don't like the boss at all really and I think it's poorly designed, even after doing it again 'normally' which was just boring and insanely easy. Love the level and layer otherwise, had a great time today and I feel like I overall played fine after I shook some rust off other than this one incident... Can these comments please just be a celebration of how awesome this update is rather than a gross reminder that some members of this community can't mentally handle someone playing a little differently from them for 5 minutes?
Some fun facts. Guttermen can be stomped to create a huge explosion. Nuke in 7-2 can be skipped by whiplashing it. And morbid fact. In 7-3 the trees you see in the start and around the map that is not needed to be fed are souls of people committing reset character in real life.
we need more creators to be more upfront like you!! i've seen so much backseating in this community it's not even funny. the way that you play is fine because it's *your* playstyle. i've actually learned a few things from you!! thanks for being a person, and thanks for existing
Ultrakill fans have the same braincells as undertale fans "play only this way or else we'll bully you off the platform." Basically just "play in only one way specifically" also stop with the backseating, like shit the fack up
Some people have said Heresy was a pure hell level as a treat, or as a reminder that you’re in hell. But having seen Violence and the environmental tone it plays along with, suddenly Heresy seems far more like a transition than a one-off treat… the start of the true hell experience.
@@chaotic6753explains why the machines fight each other. Hell creatures vs manmade machines aside. It's very likely that most of these robots were invented for war. They fight because their programming makes them still believe they're in war so they must fight the machines of another nation even if they're on the same side because all these machines know is war.
I screamed and the mannequins due to the jumpscares, and then when I saw the earthmover, I also screamed too. Genuinely even though I forgot how to play the game, I had so much fun playing this layer (with my raw reactions of screaming and fear of the dark).
Bro when they first attack you in the beginning its so scary the difference is that I actually got all the way to the skull placer and placed it down and looked back and they came at me at light speed, I legit had to pause the game and take a breather for like 25 seconds
The Mannequins must be how V1 feels to other enemies. Wiry little bugger that move around at supersonic speeds and then fire projectiles at weird angles. That being said, overall I'm gonna have to go and call skill issue. The chapter boss is literally just making sure you remember how the game's mechanics work by chaining them together in more demanding but still readable ways. It's not doing anything particularly new once you get past the initial bluster of the Shadow of the Colossus/Armored Core spiel of climbing around in the boss, and like everyone pointed out there's a LACK of newly-added weaponry so your options aren't cluttering the judgement of what to do with the boss.
the timer orbs become a lot less stressful once you realize that hitting them gives you a little boost upwards, so you stay in the air longer. that 4 corner orb room in 7-2 can be done by just being in the middle and moving the mouse to whiplash them without loosing height. also beyond getting rid of gutterman shields i pretty much just always stay on the feedbacker for projectile boosts and melee/mine parries. man when i first got into 7-4 i just sat there for like a minute to admire the earthmover's sheer size and the see what it was shooting at and being shot by (it's another earthmover in the distance)
This update definitely tested my arm switching skills but I usually don't have trouble switching to feedbacker when I want to parry and prefer to have knuckleblaster out more often for a little extra damage, *but* I could probably be striking a better balance honestly. P-2 really hammered in to my brain how useful that extra damage from the KB was and I was only really parrying Sisyphus and Mindflayers, but it may have also unintentionally instilled some bad habits haha
"hakita you have no secrets bro" THIS! I LITERALLY GOT EVERY SECRET (except the first soul orb, yes that includes the secret boss) on my first playthrough of 7-1, all because I kept getting lost and wandering in circles.
When I fought the 7-4 boss, I thought obvious the intended way was to just kept speeding alongside the lasers instead of trying to jump through them, since Ultrakill has no jump nuance but plenty of ways to mantain speed.
Damn. That Earthwalker boss is freaky. Some giant carrion rouge 'cyborg' monster with 6 eyes in a dark, barren hellscape, that thing is like a mix of steampunk and Lovecraftian horror. Only the most disturbed could even think of creating... that.
Fun fact: the earthmover’s sound is actually a scream of fear and it’s so scared of V1 to the point where it stopped attacking the other earthmover it was fighting
42:03 I love how these are using the old filth models, every tree after that uses the new filth models, but this was a pretty nostalgic touch and I loved it, good times when I played ultrakill for the first time
@@druzhcniq0749 my guess is that when the tree wants to be fed it forces all life around it (including robots) to go mad and kill each other to supply blood for the tree, when you’re fighting, everything else is killing each other and shedding blood on the tree, it becomes an all out free for all.
@@Caffinessi'm pretty certain it's because the machines are at war with hell, and thus they.. You know, fight each other. It's obvious, sword machine itself right at the beginning of the game fights off a couple of strays.
@@thefireman17492 true, but as you know hell tends to create copies of machines and has the power to control machines. Example, earlier on you never saw a gutterman kill a Maurice, or a mindflayer kills a swordsmachine, etc.
favorite part of the update is discovering you can parry mines(because of course you always try to parry something new) and then promptly using them as health pickups
Fun fact: in the violence circle in dante's inferno there is a forest called the suicide forest, where if you commited suicide you would be turned into a tree, so that means the trees in 7-3 are real people
If it makes you feel better, I never actually got the pattern for the final boss. I honestly think doing it the "intended" way is way, way harder. I just gave up on the lasers entirely and focused completely on just laying into it as hard as possible and killing it before the shields went up at all. Stick a saw magnet to it, unload every cooldown, and then just shotgun punch and parry the orbs to heal. If you abandon dodging the lasers and kill it fast enough, parrying the orbs will outpace the laser damage enough for it to die before you do.
My favourite detail in this layer is how it's implied that V1 was designed to counter the Earthmovers. "new designs were phased in and out at a feverish pace, each designed specifically to counter the last" - Guttertank Terminal Data "War had become entirely dependent on them, large scale conflict was no longer feasible." - Earthmover Terminal Data "The V model was built for war" "However, during the prototyping phase, the New Peace was established and war became irrelevant." "V1's planned production was cancelled" - V2 Terminal Data TL;DR Earthmovers were the last machines used in the Final War, and V1 was an unfinished prototype meant to be used in the war. Since each machine was designed to counter the last, V1 was meant to counter the Earthmovers.
Whole layer got me thinking about who the third prime soul might be, my thought is Daedalus because of how 7-1 is fairly similar to, well, the labyrinth he built. Nonetheless he doesn't really fit in any of the layers given the options are Violence, Fraud, and Treachery. And it's pretty stupid to base a *prime soul* off of a character being vaguely connected to a single level.
I'm thinking Theseus personally, same myth but a bit more fitting with treachery, with the whole abandoning someone close to him on an island and all of that
Honestly I was amazed at how much the *-Minotaur-* kicked my ass on the blind run of 7-2 I did earlier. It was like the Insurrectionist first time I fought it!
i love 7-4. I was in a pretty similar boat to you with the lasers til i figured out you can dodge the one thats between the stand still and jump ones by standing on the edge of the arena. By the time i was p-ranking the level i just treated it like an easier flesh prison cause you can kill it before it even goes into the idol phase
I absolutely love that the fight against the Earthmover's core is EXACTLY what I thought Flesh Panopticon was going to be, a shame it's very easy, but still a very very fun boss, when I got to it the first time I ended up killing it too quickly and didn't experience too much of it, but to a new player it is a very challenging and balanced fight
The Earthmover fight becomes way cooler when you realize that V1’s original purpose was to be the foil to Earthmovers by disabling the shield generators from the inside so they could be damaged from the outside. However, New Peace came and the creation of V series robots became pointless, so only a prototype of the V1 robots was ever made. V2 was intended to be better at disabling Earthmovers but was also scrapped due to New Peace. The V1 prototype, after likely over a century, is finally able to do what it was always meant to do, even if it’s only doing it because it needs to in order to move further into hell.
Violence (and watching people play Ultrakill while I was discovering it last year since my other 2 brothers bought it up back in 2022.) has taught me something: Seeing the progress or other people playing an update is one thing. But at precisely the moment you start playing the game yourself, it’s completely different. I really enjoyed this update, and it’s not done yet. Oh, one more thing. I also discovered that when I scream or raise my voice (mainly in my initial reaction to the Mannequins) my headset mic very much dislikes that.
The mannequins are actually sinners who tried to run from Hell. The angels later killed them in their attempt and stuffed their bodies in the shells of the mannequins. If you walk near one while your volume is high, you can hear soft breathing, a sign of the human inside being alive.
Fun fact! (i dont know if he does this in the video lol): The rockets of the "Red robot" can be stoped with the rocket launcher alt fire (i now see it does in the video, but i keep the message just for the ones what didn´t see the video) and this fact is for our rocket launcher: the rocket launcher gets a buff if its like 3 seconds time stoped, turns blue and when shooted with the pistol gets a giant explotion (Sorry if my english is bad, is not my "good lenguage"
15:58 average ultrakill player trying to muster up their last few braincells to remember where the blue skull is (the rest of the braincells are used for thinking about gabriel's body)
Violence is amazing, my first play through I was completely going in blind, and the mannequins scared me so bad. All the levels are really fun, and there is a secret Hakita in all except 7-2, but they require cheats to get to. The overall aesthetic is amazing, and just seeing the scale of 7-4 was awesome. The boss though is fun if you aren’t just shot gun spamming, using the idols as a spot to rest (the lasers get blocked by the little container they pop up in) and switching between the raised platform and the floor with mixes of jumping and slamming is amazing, along with trying to keep up with the lasers
The last boss was amazing, he was just being kind of.. bad- Not that it was a bad thing though, I just personally found it to be pretty easy, so that is influencing my opinion on if he was bad or not-
yeah, he was playing awfully during this and acknowledged in a multiple paragraph long comment where he whined about the people who wrote negative comments (shocker, considering him being mind boggled by a simple boss was like 15-20% of the video, and also the most popular part)
just because you asked chat what they did for the boss, this is what i did: i kinda treated it like fp, so i put a magnet into it and shot saws. shotgun swapping really helps with dps parrying orbs is great for heals instead of always jumping over lasers, i just dash and slide jumped away from them and only jumped away when i had to electric railcannon slows the laser down a bit too i think great video, i just beat the layer mysefl a few hours ago and have fun p-ranking! (also good fucking luck with 7-3 challenge)
Watching you struggle with the blue key gives me a headache. You repeatedly open up shortcuts that loop back around to where the skull was last placed, allowing you to grab it and return through the shortcut to place it on the next pedestal. It's not confusing.

I mean, the lore of the game is pretty disturbing, even if the game can be pretty goofy at times, have you read the new chaingun guy's terminal entry? They can't absorve blood like V1, so they have a living human being inside the coffin on their backs, constantly having their blood drained, but still kept alive so they have a constant source of fresh blood.

honestly I wasn't that excited for violence as I was burnt out on ultrakill for a good long time but this absolutely destroyed my expectations. 7-4 is honestly one of the best first level experience I've ever had and the atmosphere was amazing for every especially 7-3 (nearly shat my pants there). Common Hakita W
Never underestimate hakita. He has probably played the game more than anyone and knows well how to reel us back in.
my first experience with 7-4 literally made me take a couple seconds to just comprehend the sheer scale of the boss
also just that one willem dafoe looking up meme
I legit just STOOD THERE for like 5 seconds then DASHED AT LIGHTSPEED towards the grapple points I swear to God it was TERRIFYING!
@@higgz2036That was my exact same reaction LMAO. It's honestly my favorite level so far because of the concept alone.
oh yeah, another thing that helps with 7-4: you can slam right after breaking an idol so you dont go flying (:
I slide through the gates and see a 3000 meter amalgamation of metal and energy looking directly at me before launching a energy missile far beyond.
I really liked Hakita brought us so many enemies in a single layer, the difficulty increase was noticeable aswell although I think guttertanks should be nerfed for the sake of the world, one thing I would like to point out is the symbolism and ambience protrayed in 7-2 and 7-3, it feels like things are getting darker and darker without having to dive too much into the lore, hope Ultrakill gets GOTY or nominated when it fully comes out, such an amazing experience.
7-3 challenge feels as hard as P-2 gauntlet
I got the 7-3 challenge first try and still can't do p-2 gauntlet in under 20 tries so idk what it on about.

@@glompert7390 agrees
For 7-4 boss there's a platform in the outmost radius of the arena that's slightly elevated, which makes it much easier to dodge the 1 laser at the bottom and the "high" jump. Just keep alternating between those elevations
I noticed that but ngl this still felt kinda awkward to me.
@@DumpsterManVODs movement version of the strat is slam jumping as mentioned in the terminal. the high one is always after the lower one allowing for that to be easier as it gets faster
@@lonearachnid6591 Yeah I think the issue with that is that the game had never prepared anyone for this type of gameplay and accurate height control, most people get the idea but actually executing that strategy is insanely difficult

Gosh Hakita again cementing ULTRAKILL as a masterpiece of a game, this Layer was so good.
I really love level design on 7-1 in particular, the concept of using one skull key for multiple pedestals and utilizing backtracking for it is such a simple concept, but it gives such a fresh spin to the level progression.
That level and just the Violence Layer overall really embodies what FUNKe describes the game design: "This continuous ramp-up is so masterfully weaved that you never once feel like it's padding for time. They'll introduce a new concept, play with it a bit, and then subvert their own concept."
7-1 is cool because its confusing and feels like a maze which makes for an incredible first experience, but you'd think would make P ranking it incredibly difficult and annoying.
Except somehow the second you understand what the level is doing it instantly stops being confusing and is instead shockingly easy to navigate.
That is game design.
@@theoreticalexistence9630 The finnish just have this magical ability to make jawdropping videogames.
41:16 fully expected the trees to start fighting the moment I got to this level. But real talk, layer 7 is great, it nails the thematics that it’s going for, and all of the enemies are fun as hell to fight. By far my favorite layer to come out of the game, very excited for the full game to release
100% my favourite layer in the game so far. Violence just nails everything, especially the atmosphere of the levels. And I love the new lore about the war and the machines that fought in.
It is good indeed! I can see a couple things to nitpick, but nothing that cannot be solved with tweaks and small reworks.
this layer had so much lore compared to the others, tons of info about the three parts of the final war, learning what the climate catastrophe was, and also some more minos lore
I loved the lore, we always knew of a war that was so strong and created v1 in the process. This layer gave us so much lore about this insane lore. Giant machines getting launched in bomb shells, machines fighting machines completely phasing our human soldiers and giant unstoppable titans which ended the war itself. Amazing lore.
7-2 having the secret mission of “Don’t kill any Enemies” is the best worst thing i’ve ever seen.
1:05:31 the fact that you go against the lasers to get the idols hurts my brain so hard
I love how nobody is used to the level design even tho it’s barely more complex
Through the power of getting lost and not seeing the exit I found the hint leading to the secret boss thinking it was the actual exit and after defeating it I was confused and eventually found all the secrets and ended with a facepalm feeing as I found the door leading down.
After losing most of my health to the Minotaur accidentally I fought in a dumb way intending to die quickly but went out swinging and accidentally beat it as I tried to die fighting stupidly, this game works in mysterious ways.
7-4 gotta be my favorite bro. traversing a massive machine and leaping off as it explodes has to be the sickest shit i've ever seen WITHOUT CUTSCENES in a video game. boss (moreso bosses) was cool too, liked the different aspect!
It was cool indeed! The brain segment could use tweaks, but I think it is not as bad as some people say it is.

@@higgz2036 Which is an issue. If you are too slow to kill it, the fight punishes you further with infinitely replenishing idols. If you are too fast, then it becomes further trivialized.
@@jimboanimations4041I kinda get you. Yeah!
It's only been one day and yet this has already become my favorite update in the whole game. Creative and unique level design, really cool enemies with new mechanics and the most detailed models yet, a fun buff to my favorite weapon the Rocket Launcher, TONS of secrets and easter eggs, interesting new additions to the lore, great music, good difficulty, and one of the single most badass looking levels I have ever seen in a video game.
Hakita is an absolute genius and the Ultrakill team is fucking COOKING.
I love that the Minotaur is a House of Leaves reference, somehow it feels very appropriate for Ultrakill.
Could you share the reference with me, as one who has not read House of Leaves?
@@flipperjr.3822 Without getting too deep into House of Leaves because it's an incredibly complicated book, the Minotaur is a character/theme that appears very prominently in the book and all text regarding the Minotaur in the House of Leaves is also crossed out and in red, similar to all text for the Minotaur in Ultrakill.
Ehhhhh no, it's a reference to the Inferno in the Divine Comedy. The Minotaur was the guardian of the entrance to the circle of Violence, and Dante and Virgil had to distract it to continue further.
house of leaves is probably my favourite book, but i'm desperately hoping the majority of the community doesnt catch on since its just gonna be p-2 spam all over again
that along with the 7-4 level name being a GY!BE reference were the only ones i picked up on instantly
Its so funny how pretty much everyone had a similar experience with the minotaur where they die immediately apon realizing they can't heal while in the cart. I'm nothing without my heals
CHAINSAW SHOTGUN GO
glad you liked it, glad to know someone else also struggle against the 7-4 boss lmao
Fr tho those lasers are so damn annoying.
The final arena in 7-2 against those gutterfucks was harder than the boss
it was pretty easy
Imagine if this boss will turn lasers in opposite direction, on difficulties harder than Violent
@@markkarl2488 that could actually be really cool
Gonna be honest, seeing you stop reading the book at "paint the world" and not seeing the red part at the end triggered by OCD so hard
Watching 7-4 actually made me mad, like just go the same direction as the lasers, there was no reason to go against them
genuinely dude
Gosh what an absolutely great addition😩Every level felt different from the other one but felt like they belonged with eachother everything was just SO BEAUTIFULLY MADE and I absolutely loved that Minotaur boss fight too it looked so cool but I wish it's second phase was a little bit longer but besides that this layer is definitely the most outrageous and unique one out of every single one. Thank you Dumpster MAN for being my #1 go to for ULTRAKILL content (and also just curious but will you still play more Custom Levels sometime soon???)
Next up is P-ranks for Violence which I will hopefully get done within this next week (not anticipating too much trouble, just busy with family for the holidays) and then I will do more custom levels for sure!
sometimes I forget people have lives outside of posting content😭but ALRIGHT sounds fricking good
Oh btw, in Minotaur's terminal entry, it is said that its creator gave it as gift to former judge of hell Minos who abandoned it to the garden, and as it grew older, his body starting to degrade and fall off, it had only one desire, to see the sky before his death, and we didn't even let him fulfil his wish
@@sleeper6548 heck yea that's sick
Everyone always forgets that there are 2 more difficulties. And boy those fights will most definitely become longer

DUMPSTER MAN CAUGHT TRYING TO PARRY WITH THE KNUCKLEBLASTER
The 7-4 boss fight feels like something i would only see in a triple A game, and even then colossal boss fights in games can often be lackluster. This one was great though, from the climbing, to the boss, to even the escape sequence.
Genuinely amazing layer from start to finish, had me in awe at so many points. I hope Fraud and Treachery will be just as good
EDIT: I'm leaving this up, but I see that I need to clarify a bit. This has nothing to do with just giving advice or constructive criticism, I regret my wording a bit but I wrote it in a moment of frustration after deleting a significant handful of comments just flat out calling me stupid (or worse), if you see a comment about it that's still up... I'm not talking about those comments. Like I'm not saying don't give me advice or don't comment on my fight with the Earthmover at all, more just that I absolutely know I did it in a dumb way, and I already figured out the much better strat, and that I don't feel like calling me 'stupid' or whatever is really necessary or productive cause like... I already know. I don't really obsessively read comments as much as I used to for reasons basically exactly like this, but I was excited to discuss the new layer with people and was just disappointed it turned into all comments on my Earthmover fight, and just wanted to encourage a friendlier comment section, there was no ulterior motive and I was just honestly surprised to wake up to so many comments on this as I didn't realize people were going to take it really any other way. I apologize if it was interpreted any other way though, I'm gonna leave this up for context, and yeah I'm bowing out of this one as I very clearly need to.
ORIGINAL COMMENT:
Hey, you! If you're on your way to the comments to write something about the way I fought the Earthmover, maybe... just like don't? I've already heard it all.
I've been called "stupid" and a bunch of other shit for just fighting in it a kinda dumb way. I obviously know that I fought it in a dumb way, I realized that literally 0.3 seconds after I finished it, but I do things my way here and if you're still watching this channel expecting always perfect gameplay without an ounce of buffoonery... Why the hell are you watching my channel anyways? I went back literally later in the same stream and fought it 'normally' in a VOD being posted tomorrow, so you can all *RELAX.* My opinion is I still don't like the boss at all really and I think it's poorly designed, even after doing it again 'normally' which was just boring and insanely easy.
Love the level and layer otherwise, had a great time today and I feel like I overall played fine after I shook some rust off other than this one incident... Can these comments please just be a celebration of how awesome this update is rather than a gross reminder that some members of this community can't mentally handle someone playing a little differently from them for 5 minutes?
Some fun facts. Guttermen can be stomped to create a huge explosion. Nuke in 7-2 can be skipped by whiplashing it. And morbid fact.
In 7-3 the trees you see in the start and around the map that is not needed to be fed are souls of people committing reset character in real life.
we need more creators to be more upfront like you!! i've seen so much backseating in this community it's not even funny. the way that you play is fine because it's *your* playstyle. i've actually learned a few things from you!! thanks for being a person, and thanks for existing
Ultrakill fans have the same braincells as undertale fans "play only this way or else we'll bully you off the platform." Basically just "play in only one way specifically" also stop with the backseating, like shit the fack up
bro we can see the chat, nobody was calling you stupid, you're making people up
@@klimtog4369 ah yes, one video definitely shows how he’s been treated throughout his ultrakill career

@@chaotic6753explains why the machines fight each other. Hell creatures vs manmade machines aside. It's very likely that most of these robots were invented for war.

57:31 there is a second earthmover by the way
When I first entered the garden I was like “yup. There’s a secret over here.”
I screamed and the mannequins due to the jumpscares, and then when I saw the earthmover, I also screamed too. Genuinely even though I forgot how to play the game, I had so much fun playing this layer (with my raw reactions of screaming and fear of the dark).
Never have i felt more agony than seeing you solve the blue skull puzzle
Bro when they first attack you in the beginning its so scary the difference is that I actually got all the way to the skull placer and placed it down and looked back and they came at me at light speed, I legit had to pause the game and take a breather for like 25 seconds
47:57 correct!
I will giggle at you everytime you magnet an enemy directly and then harmlessly surround it with sawblades.
I love how 90% of all mannequins are doing JoJo poses
The Mannequins must be how V1 feels to other enemies.
Wiry little bugger that move around at supersonic speeds and then fire projectiles at weird angles.
That being said, overall I'm gonna have to go and call skill issue. The chapter boss is literally just making sure you remember how the game's mechanics work by chaining them together in more demanding but still readable ways. It's not doing anything particularly new once you get past the initial bluster of the Shadow of the Colossus/Armored Core spiel of climbing around in the boss, and like everyone pointed out there's a LACK of newly-added weaponry so your options aren't cluttering the judgement of what to do with the boss.
the timer orbs become a lot less stressful once you realize that hitting them gives you a little boost upwards, so you stay in the air longer. that 4 corner orb room in 7-2 can be done by just being in the middle and moving the mouse to whiplash them without loosing height.
also beyond getting rid of gutterman shields i pretty much just always stay on the feedbacker for projectile boosts and melee/mine parries.
man when i first got into 7-4 i just sat there for like a minute to admire the earthmover's sheer size and the see what it was shooting at and being shot by (it's another earthmover in the distance)
This update definitely tested my arm switching skills but I usually don't have trouble switching to feedbacker when I want to parry and prefer to have knuckleblaster out more often for a little extra damage, *but* I could probably be striking a better balance honestly. P-2 really hammered in to my brain how useful that extra damage from the KB was and I was only really parrying Sisyphus and Mindflayers, but it may have also unintentionally instilled some bad habits haha
@@DumpsterManVODsyou should install violence punch it maps the feedbacker and knuckleblaster to seperate buttons
"hakita you have no secrets bro" THIS! I LITERALLY GOT EVERY SECRET (except the first soul orb, yes that includes the secret boss) on my first playthrough of 7-1, all because I kept getting lost and wandering in circles.
"I liked the spectacle of the level but I did not enjoy that boss" mfs when they run straight into the bosses attacks
48:51 American, fan of nukes, checks out
When I fought the 7-4 boss, I thought obvious the intended way was to just kept speeding alongside the lasers instead of trying to jump through them, since Ultrakill has no jump nuance but plenty of ways to mantain speed.
Damn. That Earthwalker boss is freaky. Some giant carrion rouge 'cyborg' monster with 6 eyes in a dark, barren hellscape, that thing is like a mix of steampunk and Lovecraftian horror. Only the most disturbed could even think of creating... that.
what's more disturbing was his gameplay during it
@@helloagain.andagain.andagainLMAO
Dude, layer 7 reminded me that ultrakill takes place in hell
No way they made 7-3 the S*icide forest from Dante's inferno that's so sick
7-4 is giving me a bunch of Shadow of the Colossus vibes because of how big it is, and the platforms around its body
I like how in 7-4 you can just barely see on the horizon the second Earthmover that keeps exchanging shots with the one you fight.
It's so unsatisfying to watch him do literally everything you could do wrong wrong in the final boss 💀
Fun fact: the earthmover’s sound is actually a scream of fear and it’s so scared of V1 to the point where it stopped attacking the other earthmover it was fighting
In 7-4 where you fight the heart, it really feels like a kirby game. I beleive it was the robot one where theres a final boss just like that fight
Ye, the galactic nova nucleus in Kirby Super Star behaves extremely similarly
And Star Dream core in Robobot is heavily based on that fight
Thank you for reminding me that the fight felt like killing Galactic Nova's core.
Literally this, the way you needed to move around the boss in a circle feels so kirby!
Honestly yeah I immediately thought of Nova’s core too
This layer looks like hakita listened to Danse Macabre and decided it was so fire it deserved a layer about it
42:03 I love how these are using the old filth models, every tree after that uses the new filth models, but this was a pretty nostalgic touch and I loved it, good times when I played ultrakill for the first time
who else saw the fanmade minotaur thing before layer 7 came out?
Can't wait to be playing Cybergrind and a Mindflayer, Insurrectionist, and Idoled Mannequin jump me.

@@druzhcniq0749 my guess is that when the tree wants to be fed it forces all life around it (including robots) to go mad and kill each other to supply blood for the tree, when you’re fighting, everything else is killing each other and shedding blood on the tree, it becomes an all out free for all.
@@Caffinessi'm pretty certain it's because the machines are at war with hell, and thus they.. You know, fight each other. It's obvious, sword machine itself right at the beginning of the game fights off a couple of strays.
@@thefireman17492 true, but as you know hell tends to create copies of machines and has the power to control machines. Example, earlier on you never saw a gutterman kill a Maurice, or a mindflayer kills a swordsmachine, etc.
47:24
favorite part of the update is discovering you can parry mines(because of course you always try to parry something new) and then promptly using them as health pickups
Finally, a level that isnt painfully dark but instead light theme
gutterman gives me Big Daddy vibes from Bioshock
Fun fact: in the violence circle in dante's inferno there is a forest called the suicide forest, where if you commited suicide you would be turned into a tree, so that means the trees in 7-3 are real people
If it makes you feel better, I never actually got the pattern for the final boss. I honestly think doing it the "intended" way is way, way harder.
I just gave up on the lasers entirely and focused completely on just laying into it as hard as possible and killing it before the shields went up at all.
Stick a saw magnet to it, unload every cooldown, and then just shotgun punch and parry the orbs to heal. If you abandon dodging the lasers and kill it fast enough, parrying the orbs will outpace the laser damage enough for it to die before you do.
My favourite detail in this layer is how it's implied that V1 was designed to counter the Earthmovers.
"new designs were phased in and out at a feverish pace, each designed specifically to counter the last"
- Guttertank Terminal Data
"War had become entirely dependent on them, large scale conflict was no longer feasible."
- Earthmover Terminal Data
"The V model was built for war"
"However, during the prototyping phase, the New Peace was established and war became irrelevant."
"V1's planned production was cancelled"
- V2 Terminal Data
TL;DR Earthmovers were the last machines used in the Final War, and V1 was an unfinished prototype meant to be used in the war. Since each machine was designed to counter the last, V1 was meant to counter the Earthmovers.
Whole layer got me thinking about who the third prime soul might be, my thought is Daedalus because of how 7-1 is fairly similar to, well, the labyrinth he built. Nonetheless he doesn't really fit in any of the layers given the options are Violence, Fraud, and Treachery. And it's pretty stupid to base a *prime soul* off of a character being vaguely connected to a single level.
I'm thinking Theseus personally, same myth but a bit more fitting with treachery, with the whole abandoning someone close to him on an island and all of that
"Got a job for you ,V1. This request comes from the Arquebus group"
My favourite part of 7:4 is that the boss bar is visible throughout the entire level
Honestly I was amazed at how much the *-Minotaur-* kicked my ass on the blind run of 7-2 I did earlier. It was like the Insurrectionist first time I fought it!

Dumpsterman CAUGHT trying to PARRY with the KNUCKLEBLASTER
I like that right before you press the button that opens the door at the start of 7-1, you can hear the minotaur bellow
I died 20 times to that ending room on 7-2, and you completely toppled it like a pane of cardboard in the wind. Well done
i love 7-4. I was in a pretty similar boat to you with the lasers til i figured out you can dodge the one thats between the stand still and jump ones by standing on the edge of the arena. By the time i was p-ranking the level i just treated it like an easier flesh prison cause you can kill it before it even goes into the idol phase
V1 scrambling to save coins after currencies get digitalised
I absolutely love that the fight against the Earthmover's core is EXACTLY what I thought Flesh Panopticon was going to be, a shame it's very easy, but still a very very fun boss, when I got to it the first time I ended up killing it too quickly and didn't experience too much of it, but to a new player it is a very challenging and balanced fight
The Earthmover fight becomes way cooler when you realize that V1’s original purpose was to be the foil to Earthmovers by disabling the shield generators from the inside so they could be damaged from the outside. However, New Peace came and the creation of V series robots became pointless, so only a prototype of the V1 robots was ever made. V2 was intended to be better at disabling Earthmovers but was also scrapped due to New Peace. The V1 prototype, after likely over a century, is finally able to do what it was always meant to do, even if it’s only doing it because it needs to in order to move further into hell.
Violence (and watching people play Ultrakill while I was discovering it last year since my other 2 brothers bought it up back in 2022.) has taught me something: Seeing the progress or other people playing an update is one thing. But at precisely the moment you start playing the game yourself, it’s completely different.
I really enjoyed this update, and it’s not done yet.
Oh, one more thing. I also discovered that when I scream or raise my voice (mainly in my initial reaction to the Mannequins) my headset mic very much dislikes that.
The mannequins are actually sinners who tried to run from Hell. The angels later killed them in their attempt and stuffed their bodies in the shells of the mannequins. If you walk near one while your volume is high, you can hear soft breathing, a sign of the human inside being alive.
as a french citizen, i can confirm that 7-3 is indeed france
What's funny is that someone on Reddit predicted a giant boss in the background of 7-2 and in 7-4 at the beginning of the year.
Fun fact! (i dont know if he does this in the video lol): The rockets of the "Red robot" can be stoped with the rocket launcher alt fire (i now see it does in the video, but i keep the message just for the ones what didn´t see the video)
and this fact is for our rocket launcher: the rocket launcher gets a buff if its like 3 seconds time stoped, turns blue and when shooted with the pistol gets a giant explotion

7-3 is easily my favorite level in ultrakill now
Violence is amazing, my first play through I was completely going in blind, and the mannequins scared me so bad. All the levels are really fun, and there is a secret Hakita in all except 7-2, but they require cheats to get to. The overall aesthetic is amazing, and just seeing the scale of 7-4 was awesome. The boss though is fun if you aren’t just shot gun spamming, using the idols as a spot to rest (the lasers get blocked by the little container they pop up in) and switching between the raised platform and the floor with mixes of jumping and slamming is amazing, along with trying to keep up with the lasers
The last boss was amazing, he was just being kind of.. bad-
Not that it was a bad thing though, I just personally found it to be pretty easy, so that is influencing my opinion on if he was bad or not-
yeah, he was playing awfully during this and acknowledged in a multiple paragraph long comment where he whined about the people who wrote negative comments (shocker, considering him being mind boggled by a simple boss was like 15-20% of the video, and also the most popular part)
just because you asked chat what they did for the boss, this is what i did:
i kinda treated it like fp, so i put a magnet into it and shot saws.
shotgun swapping really helps with dps
parrying orbs is great for heals
instead of always jumping over lasers, i just dash and slide jumped away from them and only jumped away when i had to
electric railcannon slows the laser down a bit too i think
great video, i just beat the layer mysefl a few hours ago and have fun p-ranking!
(also good fucking luck with 7-3 challenge)
Watching you struggle with the blue key gives me a headache.
You repeatedly open up shortcuts that loop back around to where the skull was last placed, allowing you to grab it and return through the shortcut to place it on the next pedestal.
It's not confusing.
