I agree with the takes here, but Hakita literally said (in I think the second(?) developer livestream when he was talking about Ultrakill’s biblical inspirations) that Jesus is NOT a character in Ultrakill’s world, thus he can’t be a prime soul because he literally doesn’t exist. Anyways good video 👍
"Ahh v1 I see you've perfected all layers of hell....congratulations but as you can see there's one more thing in your way.....I Arsi Hakita the creator of the minotaur creator of v2 creator of God, heaven, the council, Gabriel, Maurice, Minos, Sisyphus, the sanctums and even HELL ITSELF is in your way so v1 it is time to face the greatest challenge.....good luck" "Reconstruct WHAT?"
This would be cool but imagine if instead hakita is in a secret prime sanctum p-4 achieved by p-ranking everything,getting all secrets and secret levels, and finally beating all challenges
Maurice prime is a prime soul boss spawning after defeating Flesh Cruciform His appearence resembles a huge half-transparent green, damaged maurice. The outer marble is less transparent than the hell mass forming the maurice In the center of maurice you can see a heart pumping. Maurice prime can use attacks such as: "You will die." Maurice prime launches into the air and falls onto the player dealing 70 damage on hit. This process repeats 3 times on Harmless, Lenient and Standard and 5 times on Violent+ "Vanish." Maurice prime starts firing walls of quickly vanishing projectiles counter-clockwise, and the only way to evade them is to move. On Harmless and Lenient the walls are slower than player's movespeed. On standart walls move at the same speed as V1 On violent+ walls are faster than V1. On brutal+there are 2 walls so you have even less space to dodge "You can't chargeback" MauricePrime shoots 3/3/4/6/7/7 hitscan explosions that deal 30 damage on contact and can't be chargebacked. "Fkoff." Maurice aims at V1 for short time and starts erratically shooting projectiles that deal 15 damage but move very fast. Maurice cant change aim during attack though. Brutal+ MP's shots are more accurate. After defeating maurice says that you were a worthy opponent and dies. The voicelines: (Inteo cutscene) "Huh... My waiting puzzle for eternity is over. Angels will pay the cost of their BLOOD after i reach them. As for you, steel vagabond... I see you have killed my brothers. Lots of them. And i will not forgive this act of mercilesness, as your torment here will be.... TERMINATION." (Attacks) "You will die." "You WILL die!" "Vanish." "Van-ISCH!" "You can't chargeback" "You CANT chargeback!" "FUCKOFF!" "FAGOFF!" (Taunts) "Fuck you, i hate you." "Throw that red sharpee shootee thingy away you fucking agressive little moron" "I hope you randomly get mauriced" (Death monologue) "Huh... what is that feel..? I feel.. emptiness... What..... h... HA. HA HA. AHAHA. I HOPE YOU FUCKING DIIIIIIIIEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEAAAAAAGGGGHHHH *boom*"
a concept that i thought of (again, an idea, not a prediction) is that p-3 could end up being barren with corpses of enemies littered across the level. the corpses would rise up and would have strings attached, that while not easy to see, are noticable when you look close enough (sort of like how maurice's spider legs look but a bit less visible). you would have to survive an onslaught of said corpses until they eventually run out (to add, those corpses could be revived if you do not blow them to bits). the player would have to keep on surviving until they either destroy all the enemies or outlast a timer of sorts. when that happens, the prime soul's prison could rise up from the ground, while being controlled by the prime soul itself. then the player would have to destroy the prison, and FINALLY be able to fight the prime soul again, this is only a concept, not a prediction. but it would be sick if some part of my idea was coincidentally in the sanctum. but for my own thoughts on the predictions of other players, i think that jesus prime, judas prime, and lucifer prime are very unrealistic. hakita has shown to subvert expectations nearly every single time he updates the game, but due to all the predictions coming from the playerbase i think SOME of the theories and ideas will end up appearing in the final sanctum.
@@cheeseball6372 read again. it says if the player kills all the enemies fast enough then the actual right starts. and also ultrakill is not a game FOCUSED on speedrunning, it’s focused on other things.
I've seen someone make a pretty good theory imo. So it's not my idea, but here goes anyway : Tantalus Prime. Greek king ? Check Endlessly punished in hell ? Check Crimes ? Thievery, mainly, stealing from the gods which would land him right in treachery. It's a good candidate.
I mean bro killed his own son, and then fed him to the gods…so I think dude is as good as any. Also he was punished like Sisyphus but instead whenever he’s thirsty the water would record from him, and whenever he’s hungry the tree with fruit would blow away from him in the wind.
An idea for P3 that I find interesting is that it will be Geryon Prime, a notable figure I’m not Greek Mythology and Dante’s Inferno. In Greek Mythology, Geryon was both the grandson of Medusa and the caretaker of red cattle on an island where the sun sets every night. Aided by the two headed brother of Cerberus, Orthus. Geryon is also noted as having three bodies. In Dante’s Inferno, Geryon was a mythical king of Spain who a ferry men, ferrying souls on his back between the seventh and eighth circles of hell. He is also noted as having a body that was half reptile, half hairy beast, and had a scorpion tail. I can see the story of Geryon in Ultrakill be that he was formerly a Ferryman who had a hand in creating the Mannequins. Later going on to not only create the Minotaur, but also a demon and machine in his image. Using his status as a Ferryman, Geryon would lure husks into the Fraud Layer where they would be end up becoming part of a massive kingdom of Husks, Demons, Angels and Machines. Eventually leading to Geryon not only being stripped of his power as a Ferryman, but trapped in a panopticon with his machine and demon, becoming an amalgamation of a prime soul, bearing three bodies. Each one affecting how V1 fights them depending on which bodies is facing V1.
1:12 i could imagine that Jesus wouldn't accept the council, because he would realize the bad things they did and how they try to say they do god's will. So he would be sent to the treachery layer because of his betrayal.
@GabeTheMuffin789 that might be true. If the third prime soul is indeed a king, I think keeping it a secret like this and letting the community speculate and theorize like this is the best way to build up hype.
counterpoint to hell being too powerful for v1 to take on: its getting emptier and emptier because the machines are killing everyone inside it and thus weaking it enough for v1 to deal the final blow but honestly I feel like its gonna be prometheus, first for being in the treachery layer, and prometheus betraying the gods to give fire to humanity, second because hell and god have been compared to fire in ultrakill, like 0-1 being named "into the fire" and god disappearing being called "the fire is gone" by gabriel
I personally like the idea that the intro is the "Flesh Warden" which is basically just Lucifer as described in Dante's Inferno, a three headed beast with each head chewing one of the three "kings" of treachery. As for how in sam hill having 3 prime souls on you at once would balance, I dunno but I bet it'd be freaking awesome!
3 prime souls, you can choose which to attack, freeing them from the mouth and letting them hurt you.... of course, if you want the P rank you'll need to go fast, maybe fight two at once... or all three...
Tantalus Prime. He checks all the boxes and his punishment in Greek mythology could portray really well into Ultrakill. Imagine a starved husk of a man whose only response to seeing you is “FOOD”. The idea for his arena could be really cool as well with water being on the floor similar to Sisyphus only it moves away from him based in his position.
As a christian I would love to see Jesus in Ultrakill, also I made time stamps: 0:00 - Intro 0:28 - Jesus Prime 1:48 - Aegeus Prime 2:24 - Adam & Eve Prime 2:51 - Nimrod Prime 3:35 - Daedalus Prime 5:03 - Treacherous Trio / Brutus, Judas and Cassius Prime 5:47 - God / Hell 6:18 - V2 Prime / V3 Prime 6:32 - Outro
@@sloppiest.soldier Yeah I know, I just thought it would be cool if he was in the game, not saying he actually was gonna be. Also the cross decorated with branches looks kind of cool ngl.
it would be illogical , first of all hakita would get a lot of controversy , second Jesus didn't , and won't kill and he's the best person in history or at least in christianity
I have a theory that’s more so about ULTRAKILL as a whole, but can also tie into P-3. We learn from the secret levels that God regrets free will and the creation of hell. He wants desperately to undo his mistakes and start anew, but he can’t. So, now let’s look at V1. V1 is a soulless war machine with no free will, and we don’t really know why they’re in hell besides “blood is fuel”. Let’s look at what V1 is doing in hell. According to Gabriel at the end of act 2, we’re actually destroying it layer by layer. “All gone”, he says. Now, who in the lore would want Hell destroyed? God! V1 is a machine sent by God to destroy hell. It also makes sense in regard to Gabriel’s actions. God sees free will as a mistake. The citizens of heaven likely have free will. V1 fights with Gabriel, which directly results in Gabriel cutting himself off from God’s light, Gabriel killing the council, and almost certainly sending Heaven into a violent chaos. That’s my personal head canon about the game as a whole, but I also have multiple theories about P-3. The thing about P-3 is that it’s the last level in the game. It has to be huge. I think that, once V1 is done destroying the rest of hell, P-3 will either be just God or God and Hell. Now, it doesn’t really make sense for V1 to kill God if it was sent to Hell by God, right? V1 has no free will to do so. Right? That could be wrong. When you fight V2 in Greed, V1 actually talks. He says that V2 is not getting away this time. That could mean that V1 is developing some free will and thought. Which also gives V1 the freedom to battle God and usurp the universe. I could go more in depth with my different P-3 theories, because this is definitely a quick explanation, but it’s the gist. I am definitely confident in my theory of V1 being sent to kill Hell by God, though.
i do get the feeling that hell itself might be the final boss, fighting with gabriel in his final moments against hell, probably not likely, but it's a nice thing to think about
Unlikely, but I think Orpheus is a great prime soul candidate 1.) He is of noble blood 2.) would be guilty of treachery after betraying hades and eurydices by looking back 3.) He is one of the most prominent Greek mythological figures (Minos and Sisyphus were both characters that even someone not well versed in Greek mythos could know about, and I feel Orpheus fits this criteria. 4. He's well versed in the arts, and could be portrayed to have a relation to the library of babel and 7-1. 5. He's a musician, which would be fitting in a game full of musical references. It's more so that I want it to be Orpheus than I actually think it will be. Daedalus or Icarus seem to be the best candidates overall.
tbh Tantalus or Ixion would be an amazing Prime Soul candidates. They're mythological Greek kings, have commited various terrible acts, the works. Maybe the prisons would reflect their punishments. Tantalus' would be like a tree, and Ixion's would be a wheel.
It's been my theory for a while now that Daedalus is the one who gave the enemies of Hell their cybernetic augmentations, being an inventor in Greek mythology. Maybe he was punished for this? It would give him much more plot significance and give an easy way to explain how he ended up as a prime soul. He could have been researching cybernetics because of Icarus dying or something, and his love for Icarus caused such significant willpower? Additionally, you would access P-3 via Treachery--modifying sinners could be considered as treachery.
My personal theory is King Amphiaraus, not only does he follow the theme of Greek kings being the prime souls, but he also appears in fruad in Dantes Inferno. His mythology also acts as a pretty decent blueprint for his possible lore, a king reluctant to go to war, only to be convinced by his wife, Eriphyle, to join the conflict. Eriphyle could easlily be replaced with Hell Itself in Ultrakill, influencing Amphiaraus to wage war with the heavens, a war he doesn't want to do, but is forced to, leading to his death.
I think it would be Gabriel Prime, considering that Gabriel was accused of all 3 of the sins in act 3 in the cutscene and he could be an extremely good finale. Maybe we end up killing him but he ends up imprisoned in act 3 in which we eventually fight him in p-3 as a prime soul
I just thought Midas Prime was gonna be P-3… You know great Greek king from myth who committed a grave sin. Betrayal would also be a perfect layer for him with him turning his daughter to gold in some of the oldest tellings. Hell he would also fit Fraud pretty well and even violence to a lesser extant considering his possible connections to Mita.
I personally think Hell Prime would be a good idea; The level is you climbing out all the way back to prelude, you reach the empty earth, and than hell itself opens up trying to swallow you whole, the fight goes from you yourself breaking out of a flesh prison that is actually the ozone layer of earth and you fight a Hell covered earth against planets in phase 2
My main reasoning for god being the prime soul is that sealing himself away in hell feels like the most likely place he went since the testament in 7-S implies he tried to kill himself but couldn't.
I said it in a comment on the previous P-3 video, but Menelaus Prime. Because of his involvement with Troy and the Trojan Horse, his being a Greek king, etc., I think he's also...a prime candidate. ...I'm not apologizing.
Considering the first two souls. Ranked by difficulty it goes Minos to Sisyphus. Minos: A minor king, his main feat was trapping daedalus and icarus in a tower. Sisyphus: A king, his main feat was trapping the god of death Thanatos in a box. I think their strength is based on their punishment in hell, Minos' punishment by the gods was having his wife fall in love with a cow, while Sisyphus' punishment was more severe (pushing a boulder up a hill over and over again). Minos freed sinners from their punishments by god, a crime which had him killed. Sisyphus waged war against heaven, a crime which had him tortured and then killed. This is why I believe that the 3rd and final Prime Soul will probably be someone with a horrible punishment and a horrible crime against god. Here are my guesses, from most likely to somewhat likely King Erysichthon: He was a king, his crime was destroying Demeter's grove and one of Demeter's most beloved Dryads. His punishment was insatiable hunger. No matter how much he ate he was always hungry, and the more he ate the hungrier he became. This goes on and on until he's spent all of his money on food, leaving his kingdom in shambles, until he eventually eats himself. Prometheus: His punishment was being strapped to a boulder and having birds eat out his organs while he regenerates. Although he wasn't a king, he still had a horrible punishment. His punishment was due to him stealing fire from the gods and giving it to the humans he sculpted. He is placed 2nd due to the fact that the third Prime Soul being a king is not confirmed. King Midas: Another king, but highly unlikely, he helped Dionysus (the reason he had the Golden Touch), and his only punishment was growing donkey ears after saying that Pan plays better than Apollo. He's the most well known king that isn't a god, but he has no reason to be in hell.
A cool idea would maybe be having the 3rd prime soul be the person who invented the machines in the first place. It would make sense for the guy who invented one of the deadliest and most powerful weapons known to man, that almost wiped out man, to be a prime soul.
My personal theory is that the final prime soul will be King Icarus, as Hakita does like to twist the original stories. Daedalus wasn't the only one locked in the labyrinth, and Icarus holds themes of escape, falling from grace, and flying too close to the sun. Cant wait to see how the story fits
I like the idea of tantalus prime. It fits with the Greek kings, he has a known punishment in hell, and he fits with all 3 layers of act 3 (violence-killing his son, fraud/treachery - tricking the gods into eating his son)
My theory is that instead of Daedalus, the prime soul would be Icarus. He is literally the epitome of “Fraud” and it would be cool for him to be the king of it.
Lucifer was mentioned in Testament IV to be cast into hell, so if his lore is expanded on in future updates I'd say he has a very good shot at being P-3.
I don’t know why nobody has mentioned him before but I think Tantalus is the most likely to become a prime soul. Here are the reasons why: 1. Tantalus was a Greek king just like Minos and sysiphus. 2. He suffered from a heavy punishment and is confined in hell. 3. His sin embodies the last layers of hell violence, fraud and treachery. For those who don’t know his story he basically tried to challenge the mightiness of the gods (fraud) by feeding them with the flesh of his kin (violence and treachery). In the end he got caught and was made stand in a pool of water which would dry up when he tried to drink from it and below a tree with low branches with the fruit rotting from his grasp.
Jesus actually does make sense. Imagine after Jesus died, the angels who decides who goes to heaven or hell didn't believe Jesus when he claimed to be the son of god, in their eyes, the real Jesus would be in heaven by now since he already died once. They accuse him of impersonating Jesus, being labeled as both a fraud, and having committed treachery in attempting to mask himself as god's son. Because of how influential he ended up being, there's no way he's not forming a prime soul. This all also ties into the themes of people unjustly being sent for eternal punishment as seen in the books found in lust and greed. Alternatively... P-3 will be the one dude who's name is redacted that's welding metal to strays, replacing the stalker's rocks with canisters of sand, and being the guy who created the minotaur.
Hakita him self as a April fools joke, but if you defeat him you get to keep him in the spawn menu but the fight requires pure skill and is basacally a boss rush before you get to him
I would say that one possible idea for "hell prime" is what i call the heart of hell. Simply put you arent fighting all of hell, your just fighting its core.
Personally the way i can see god as a prime soul is just... him completely having given up, hes so consumed by his regret of having created hell that he just, doesnt fight. He just lets you do your thing without even fighting back. But that probably fits more as a P-4 thing that comes after all 3 actual prime bosses
The lore entries in the secret levels are already about him being so consumed by his regrets that he becomes outright depressed, that would be a kinda satisfying conclusion to end at i think
king midas will can work for many reasons -greek myth/leader -did some unholy -can connect to an ultrakill layer the story (just in case people dont know) is that midas loved being wealthy and had lots of gold to show, he made a deal with Dionysus for 1 wish, he wanted that "everything he touched turned to gold" but he accidently made is food, water, and even daughter to gold. now the story has 2 ending of he wishes for it to be redone and ending 1 is that curse is lifted and he now is not greedy, and ending 2 is that Dionysus doesnt and he ends up dying from dehydration or turning himself to gold. not only can this tie with the greed layer and fraud in some way. but the council could see the 2 ending has smt to be banished for, and his love and need for gold could have kept his will alive making him a prime soul
Personally I'd be interested in Oedipus Prime. 1. He's a king from Greek mythology 2. He'd fit into Act 3: Killed his father (Violence against others + Treachery), married his mother (Violence against god/nature), and killed himself (Violence against oneself). 3. I like to think he'd be so mad at God for birthing him into such horrible circumstance that his rage alone would allow him to go Prime. 4. He would fit that theme of all Prime souls having their eyes covered in some way in their portraits (Tore his own eyes out) And 5. His blindness could lead to interesting gimmicks in his fight.
I have a feeling it could be Gabriel, because he has a massive following of husks though out the game, he's important to the story and it would make sense if we kill him (probably) in 9-2 (idk if hakita has disproven this or not)
I believe it's going to be Jason, he was supposed to be the rightful heir to the throne by birthright but after going on a quest to become the king of Iolcus like he deserved he failed, but yet he kept trying and in his attempt to become royalty he committed a sin so vile it landed him so deep into the inferno it was even lower than 7 according to Dante's Inferno, I'm not explaining this well but mark my words, it's gonna be him
I wonder how prime soul will appear. in P-1 we had Flesh Prison which we had to kill. in P-2 prime soul came out free itself. I dare to assume that by the time we arrive in the room with the boss, the dungeon will already have been defeated
i think midas could be a cool candidate for prime soul if the sanctum is in treachery (alot of treacherers are those who kill their children, which is filicide, and midas kills his daughter in the original myth with the midas touch. that could also be linked maybe to a golden arm beingg the yellow arm and it not coming from gabriel.)
The theory (or hope) i have, is that we have a double prime boss fight, Daedalus and his son, Icarus. Icarus fits the name for the terminal entry for the minotaur, and Icarus would go against his fathers wishes to start an uprising in hell during God's dissapearance, causing him to be inprisoned and Daedalus to be his warden in violence, Daedalus being the "flesh prison". Or maybe both of them being prime souls, Daedalus choosing to side with his son out of anger for God's hypocrisy or perhaps simply wanting to cause bloodshed out of boredom and assuming total control of the last 3 layers of hell, to toy with them the way Hell itself does. Tbh i dont think its likely but it'd be really cool to have a double prime boss and it makes sense as a way to up the difficulty for P-3, as theres a major difficulty spike in each Sanctum.
4:08 and imagine a Minotaur boss that comes before you fight him. Very likable theory. A pattern of every prime soul just being in a flesh prison is kind of unlikely.
6:27 v2 will definitely not be alive but… maybe v3 most likely can be a boss fight… And I’d imagine the introduction would be v2’s mangled corpse landing in the arena and just fucking exploding. Then after a few seconds v3 steps in.
a theory that i and some others have is midas prime. he would fit perfectly into the roster of prime souls, minos and sisyphus being cruel greek kings in their lifetime, just like midas. however, he suffers from the lack of context like aegeus. he was not mentioned in the comedy (at least i think) and wouldn't fit well into the lore. (also gold mechanics in a midas prime boss fight would be sick as hell)
not for p3 (cause i think daedalus is gonna be the prime boss) but for fraud, i have always thought thats its gonna be some kind of cave/mineshaft type of theme but i havent seen anyone say something similar to my idea, and i think it can make some sense cause of the whole void and backrooms idea everyone has
It’d be interesting if prometheus prime wasn’t in a flesh prison, but chained to a rock or demon, and the eyes were replaced by birds. Sort of imagine him saying something like, “I gave humanity fire. Betrayed our god. That fire has fought itself, and thus it gave life, as did it give death. It seems fire has come back to me.”
What if instead of fighting a flesh prison first the prime soul already broke out and is now awaiting you in a plastic chair while Bury The Light plays through a radio
Remember, P-1 And P-2 Took Place in The Layer / Environment From the Layer you Enter them From, So P-3 Probably Takes Place in a Frozen Wasteland if Layer 9's Environment is Taken from Dante's Inferno, But Both Layer 3 and Layer 6 Had a Red Colorscheme though.
i enjoy the (probably unlikely) idea that Gabriel is going to be the third prime soul, which would mean that p-3 isnt going to have a flesh prison/panopticon, and gabriel would be roaming free, lest he be improsined by the kingdom of heaven by unanimous vote after he died from the severed light (supposedly)
I know this probably sounds stupid, but hear me out… Gabriel Prime. In all seriousness, I really think this could happen. Gabriel is going to die, and has a passionate rivalry with V1 and is determined to beat them. This could give his soul enough determination to become a prime soul, but I could also see it not being enough. Also, Gabriel said that he will meet V1 again, but he’s about to die, so him being a prime soul could be a more reasonable way for us to fight him again, rather than it being before he dies (because the father’s light is leaving his body, and he likely wouldn’t have enough strength to put up a good fight before he dies). Lastly, Act III is called “Godfist Suicide.” Because Gabriel referred to himself as “the righteous hand of the father (fist of god),” I could see this referencing Gabriel killing the council, sealing his fate. However, it could also hypothetically reference Gabriel risking (and inevitably losing) his final chance at life as a prime soul in order to try to beat V1.
my big predection ( though he would need to be eddited in a way ) is zeus as a prime soul. mainly cause he fits criteria 1, Zues had a gigantic following, 2 he was the king of the greek gods but due to him already being an wxisting god why he is trapped there is where my idea falters a little, but i coould see him fitting a lucifer-ish type role where he tried to overthrow heaven or the coucnil and was locked away for it. What do yall think?
I personally would love to see Atlas as the Prime soul and it does seem kinda likely cause 1. Greek king 2. His story can be pretty easily translated into revolting against the council 3. As a boss, havibg another huuuuge enemy would be amazing (cause levi was kind of underwhelming as a boss) 4. "P-3: Weight of the world" no thats not the only reason i wanna see him
hank can be a perfect canidate for p-3 (the skeleton that you can put a blue skull in 1-4) if you think about it there might be a soul in that skull probably ferryman soul and hank is probably frozen since 1-4 might be cold in place that "ferryman" soul is trying to break out of the shell with alot of willpower and if it does break out it can theoretically become a prime soul but hey thats just a theory a GAME theory
Daedalus killed his cousin in mythology, so his legacy being in the layer violence makes perfect sense to me.Also, the name Daedalus prime sounds good, and all the other evidence that can be found throughout the current act 3 and its lore videos. I see no better option.
I also had a theory for who might be the third prime soul, but it was in the replies of a different comment, so i am posting it here. I have the idea that the third prime sould might be Cain. This is due to the fact it was said that "MANKIND IS DEAD" at the start of the game, but Cain is immortal and was not mentioned to have died in any specific way. As such, i imagine his flesh "cage" would be his own body, due to the immortality he was cursed with by god. Now, since he is immortal some might be asking how he is in hell. To that, i ask a different question, how are all the machines in hell too? If there is a gateway to hell on earth, Cain could go through it and possibly even follow V1 through it's entire journey if he wanted to, hiding behind the walls, looking from afar and revealing that he was following the machine since the beginning of it's mission, but that would mean that hakita has to add easter eggs where he is hiding, so that you, the player, can actually meet him. I also think it is Cain due to the 3rd prime soul also being the last prime soul, meaning that it might break the standards brought on by Minos and Sisyphus, being heretical greek kings and all of that. Also, some might mention The Minotaur entry, but as far as i am aware, it has not been confirmed if "#### ######" is the censored name of the 3rd prime soul and that is just speculation, not to mention that both Minos and Sisyphus did not have their names redacted in the books that the player could find.
I think Lucifer/Satan Prime makes sense solely because of his connection to treachery in Dante's Inferno. It's literally so perfect, but that makes it predictable, and it would be cheesy. Then again, it might be a fun way to tie ULTRAKILL to New blood's other game, Faith. Facing the Devil as a flesh prison also sounds sweet. One Prime Soul that would break the mold but expand the story could be a fictional character unique to the ULTRAKILL universe. Imagine you get to fight the original creator and/or inventor of the Guttertank, the Earthmover, or even V1. An issue with this, though, is that the story itself isn't too focused on these events, so having this guy as the prime soul, while it would be significant, probably wouldn't make much sense.
I believe that midas prime would work very well other than the greed layer being in act 2. King Midas's crime could have been that he tried to claim the greed layer all for himself which led him to be banished by Sisyphus.
My theory of Daedalus prime’s “wronging of Heaven” is him creating wings for Icarus to escape the tower he was trapped in. In Ultrakill, this could be interpreted as him creating “wings” for husks to escape hell and get to heaven as false angels, but getting caught and killed, sent to a prison of flesh Also, for hell prime, a personal theory I have is that hell is not a prime soul but the final boss, specifically in a center of hell pseudo-act (as we know that exists in Dante’s inferno) where it’s like a heart of hell that is killable if an entity can make it through the entirety of hell, that entity being v1. It’s a complicated idea and I’ll make a video on it eventually. Also, it ain’t gonna be Jesus prime. But Prometheus prime seems more awesome the more I think about it
Daedalus was also a descendant of the Greek king Cecrops which technically makes them royalty. And his willpower could probably have come from the idea that his life was nothing but suffering (the loss of Icarus, his nephew, the labyrinth, being trapped in hell, etc-) and he just wants a second chance. Probably a stretch, but I think it’s probable. One iteration of the death of Daedalus ends with a cult ruled by Minos’ brother in mythology, but in Ultrakill this could be Gabriel as in Ultrakill that’s the closest thing we have in the lore I was gonna make this as my video but I never did because I had too much stuff to do So here’s all the stuff I was gonna say.
icarus prime as a bigoted, bloodthirsty king who breaks into heaven to try and redeem himself but gets offed and cast down into a flesh containment thing in treachery would give him a (albeit morbid) reason to try and form a rapport with Minos, what layer would have the most ppl this icarus would hate if not the lust layer? & how bigotry can manifest as the act 3 layers
My favorite theory was in the newblood discord. Someone asked if V1 could beat prime Mike Tyson, someone replied what about Mike Tyson Prime. aRock drove it home with “thith prithon? To hold me?”
My theory (not rly a theory I just like the character) for P-3 is Daedalus. In greek mythology, he knew minos and even built the labyrinth in which the minotaur is stuck for him.
personally i dont want p-3 to follow the footsteps of p-1 and p-2 but instead be an alternative ending to ultrakill. maybe lucifer prime or god, something like that
I think the same something along the lines of The fight against gaberiel would be a ending where existence can slowly rebuild itself maybe v1 and gabe's fight being so large and great hell itself collapses from it and the p-3 fight to be the worst case scenario
Maybe Gabriel ? He's gonna die for sure, has a strong soul fueled by hatred and has slain the council (which I think is absolute heresy in the eyes of Heaven) and is either already dead or will be killed by V1 soon. (Edit : I haven't played Violence yet so if there are any specific clues about the third prime soul, my theory was made without knowing about those)
It feels weird that Aegeus would be a better candidate than Daedalus. He literally created the labyrinth, he did all the engineering behind creating the minotaur (because realistically, the creator of the minotaur was Pasiphae). Additionally, Daedalus killed his newphew out of jealousy, King Minos was killed by Daedalus to save his life, and he helps Ariadne kill the minotaur. On top of that, another portion of violence is violence against the gods, which also fits Daedalus. In order to escape King Minos, we get the myth of Icarus. Icarus, however, doesn't matter in this case. The fact that Daedalus made wings at all was blasphemous, because flying was something only the gods could do, and a human attempting to fly was seen as challenging their power. so anyways, yeah. Daedalus Prime. edit: looks like you also covered this in the vid :P Hopefully my comment helps cement it as a higher possibility
I’m not super confident in any one theory but I feel like the Greek mythology connection is less important than the Divine Comedy connection (Minos was directly in the story and Sisyphus seemingly inspired one of the punishments) so I think Lucifer, who is confirmed to exist in Ultrakill lore, is still on the table. That said, Jesus is seemingly non-canon to Ultrakill (since the cross was stated to symbolize the Tree of Life rather than Jesus’s crucifixion), so I’d say that deconfirms both Jesus Prime and Judas Prime. I’ve also seen a theory that Gabriel will die in Layer 8 (Hakita’s already messed with the boss format this act by having the first boss be a giant, instead of the second boss), and that might give him time to reform as a Prime Soul in Layer 3, just without the Flesh Prison equivalent (since Sisyphus destroyed the Flesh Panopticon before you can, it’d make sense for the next step to just skip it entirely). If you really want someone Greek, maybe Antaeus? He was a giant who fought Heracles and also appears in Dante’s Inferno between the 8th and 9th layers, so he fits both the Greek connection and the Inferno connection, while being a potentially quite imposing opponent, having fought Heracles and being immortal as long as he touches the ground (which could translate into a mechanic where you can only damage him if you either hit him during jumping attacks, or knock him off the ground with high knock-back attacks).
I have no idea if this has been said before, but Odysseus, literally one of the most famous characters in all of greek mythology, deserves some speculation
I would love Prometheus, or Daedalus. Though, a duo or triple fight would be cool as well. But I guess there's only one way to find out and that's to wait.
If hakita wants to shake up the prime sanctum level foundation, he could have Brutus, Judas and Cassius as 3 boss fights in one level. There would be no prior arenas and not even a flesh prison fight. In Dante's Inferno, the heads of Satan is chewing on the three sinners. i imagine you could walk into the sanctum and have a dead satan frozen in ice, and the three sinners easily break out and face you as brutas and cassius being a duo fight while judas is just one
I think the concept of the Adam and Eve fight would be cool but not for a prime sanctum, I love the idea of Daedalus, but the Adam and Eve fight idea got my brain going and I eventually figured that Daedalus could be accompanied by Icarus, and hakita could do something cool like with the twins from terraria where one has faster higher damaging projectiles and the other has slower weaker but DOT attacks.
My personal favorite has always been Midas Prime. If you ask someone on the street to name a random Greek king, one of the first people to come to mind will be King Midas, instead of Prometheus or Daedalus (who are both not kings, unlike Minos and Sisyphus). He perfectly follows the preestablished rules, and would make a perfect king for Fraud.
To quote Hakita himself, "You'd have to be real dumb to put characters named Minos and Midas in the same story." While I don't think Midas is a bad idea, the odds of it happening are very small.
Btw, if you watched the dev stream, there are many crosses in game and they dont represent jesus and represent the tree of life, that probably insinuates that jesus doesnt exist in Ultrakill
i personally think its daedalus cuz think about it daedalus and his wings contributed into the first making of machines which now we know were causing all the trouble in the great war which i think is what lend him into the treachery layer of hell sense hes technically responsible for all the deaths in that war

I agree with the takes here, but Hakita literally said (in I think the second(?) developer livestream when he was talking about Ultrakill’s biblical inspirations) that Jesus is NOT a character in Ultrakill’s world, thus he can’t be a prime soul because he literally doesn’t exist.
Anyways good video 👍

Maurice prime is a prime soul boss spawning after defeating Flesh Cruciform
His appearence resembles a huge half-transparent green, damaged maurice. The outer marble is less transparent than the hell mass forming the maurice
In the center of maurice you can see a heart pumping.
Maurice prime can use attacks such as:
"You will die."
Maurice prime launches into the air and falls onto the player dealing 70 damage on hit. This process repeats 3 times on Harmless, Lenient and Standard and 5 times on Violent+
"Vanish."
Maurice prime starts firing walls of quickly vanishing projectiles counter-clockwise, and the only way to evade them is to move.
On Harmless and Lenient the walls are slower than player's movespeed.
On standart walls move at the same speed as V1
On violent+ walls are faster than V1.
On brutal+there are 2 walls so you have even less space to dodge
"You can't chargeback"
MauricePrime shoots 3/3/4/6/7/7 hitscan explosions that deal 30 damage on contact and can't be chargebacked.
"Fkoff."
Maurice aims at V1 for short time and starts erratically shooting projectiles that deal 15 damage but move very fast. Maurice cant change aim during attack though. Brutal+ MP's shots are more accurate.
After defeating maurice says that you were a worthy opponent and dies.
The voicelines:
(Inteo cutscene)
"Huh... My waiting puzzle for eternity is over. Angels will pay the cost of their BLOOD after i reach them. As for you, steel vagabond... I see you have killed my brothers. Lots of them. And i will not forgive this act of mercilesness, as your torment here will be.... TERMINATION."
(Attacks)
"You will die."
"You WILL die!"
"Vanish."
"Van-ISCH!"
"You can't chargeback"
"You CANT chargeback!"
"FUCKOFF!"
"FAGOFF!"
(Taunts)
"Fuck you, i hate you."
"Throw that red sharpee shootee thingy away you fucking agressive little moron"
"I hope you randomly get mauriced"

Me and my friend considered Judas or Prometheus for P-3.
He said Judas, I said Prometheus. Yep, it's a [useless] bet
I think P-3 will be Daedalus or Prometheus
@@dyadya-Jokusa-Josa same
🤨
It would be funny if you both were wrong
Its gonna end up being Gabriel Prime or something
a concept that i thought of (again, an idea, not a prediction)
is that p-3 could end up being barren with corpses of enemies littered across the level. the corpses would rise up and would have strings attached, that while not easy to see, are noticable when you look close enough (sort of like how maurice's spider legs look but a bit less visible). you would have to survive an onslaught of said corpses until they eventually run out (to add, those corpses could be revived if you do not blow them to bits). the player would have to keep on surviving until they either destroy all the enemies or outlast a timer of sorts. when that happens, the prime soul's prison could rise up from the ground, while being controlled by the prime soul itself. then the player would have to destroy the prison, and FINALLY be able to fight the prime soul
again, this is only a concept, not a prediction. but it would be sick if some part of my idea was coincidentally in the sanctum.
but for my own thoughts on the predictions of other players, i think that jesus prime, judas prime, and lucifer prime are very unrealistic. hakita has shown to subvert expectations nearly every single time he updates the game, but due to all the predictions coming from the playerbase i think SOME of the theories and ideas will end up appearing in the final sanctum.
did you get inspiration from quake? because there's also an enemy that can't be killed off unless you blow it up
You might be on to something with the prime soul controlling the flesh prison, I’ll give you that.
the first part would never work ultrakill is a game for speedrunning having a time limit would ruin it
@@denekhesab.2527 oh i actually had no idea that there was a quake enemy that does that. i don’t really play quake lol
@@cheeseball6372 read again. it says if the player kills all the enemies fast enough then the actual right starts.
and also ultrakill is not a game FOCUSED on speedrunning, it’s focused on other things.
I've seen someone make a pretty good theory imo. So it's not my idea, but here goes anyway :
Tantalus Prime.
Greek king ? Check
Endlessly punished in hell ? Check
Crimes ? Thievery, mainly, stealing from the gods which would land him right in treachery.
It's a good candidate.
Finally someone else with my theory!
I mean bro killed his own son, and then fed him to the gods…so I think dude is as good as any. Also he was punished like Sisyphus but instead whenever he’s thirsty the water would record from him, and whenever he’s hungry the tree with fruit would blow away from him in the wind.
Same with Odysseus
"Get ready to recieve some holy spirit..."
To be fair, Hakita broke the pattern of V2 being the first layer of every act's boss with the earthmover so anything goes really
I think the patern wasn't V2 being the first layer of every act's boss, but a machine being, since Earthmover is also a machine
real@@azastrol
Reconstruct WHAT
An idea for P3 that I find interesting is that it will be Geryon Prime, a notable figure I’m not Greek Mythology and Dante’s Inferno.
In Greek Mythology, Geryon was both the grandson of Medusa and the caretaker of red cattle on an island where the sun sets every night. Aided by the two headed brother of Cerberus, Orthus. Geryon is also noted as having three bodies.
In Dante’s Inferno, Geryon was a mythical king of Spain who a ferry men, ferrying souls on his back between the seventh and eighth circles of hell. He is also noted as having a body that was half reptile, half hairy beast, and had a scorpion tail.
I can see the story of Geryon in Ultrakill be that he was formerly a Ferryman who had a hand in creating the Mannequins. Later going on to not only create the Minotaur, but also a demon and machine in his image. Using his status as a Ferryman, Geryon would lure husks into the Fraud Layer where they would be end up becoming part of a massive kingdom of Husks, Demons, Angels and Machines. Eventually leading to Geryon not only being stripped of his power as a Ferryman, but trapped in a panopticon with his machine and demon, becoming an amalgamation of a prime soul, bearing three bodies. Each one affecting how V1 fights them depending on which bodies is facing V1.
1:12 i could imagine that Jesus wouldn't accept the council, because he would realize the bad things they did and how they try to say they do god's will. So he would be sent to the treachery layer because of his betrayal.
"THE FEDS! what the hell are they doing here?"

I also think the censored text might not be hell itself, but rather another king, and Hakita censored it on purpose to keep the prime soul a secret.
The consorted text does have enough characters to be “King Aegeus”
@GabeTheMuffin789 that might be true. If the third prime soul is indeed a king, I think keeping it a secret like this and letting the community speculate and theorize like this is the best way to build up hype.
@@myuce153 yeah and since ageus committed suicide for a reason that wasn’t true that my be why he was imprisoned
@@GabeTheMuffinManSuicide would have gotten him in Violence, and there’s been no indication of him anywhere
counterpoint to hell being too powerful for v1 to take on: its getting emptier and emptier because the machines are killing everyone inside it and thus weaking it enough for v1 to deal the final blow
but honestly I feel like its gonna be prometheus, first for being in the treachery layer, and prometheus betraying the gods to give fire to humanity, second because hell and god have been compared to fire in ultrakill, like 0-1 being named "into the fire" and god disappearing being called "the fire is gone" by gabriel
maybe Prometheus played a part in humans finding hell, and that got him killed by the council
Oh hey I'm really glad you included Nimrod and Brutus+Cassius because these are ideas I've had for a while which I never saw anyone else talk about!
I personally like the idea that the intro is the "Flesh Warden" which is basically just Lucifer as described in Dante's Inferno, a three headed beast with each head chewing one of the three "kings" of treachery.
As for how in sam hill having 3 prime souls on you at once would balance, I dunno but I bet it'd be freaking awesome!
3 prime souls, you can choose which to attack, freeing them from the mouth and letting them hurt you.... of course, if you want the P rank you'll need to go fast, maybe fight two at once... or all three...
everybody talking about the prime soul but not about the Sanctum itself
Flesh Asylum
Tantalus Prime. He checks all the boxes and his punishment in Greek mythology could portray really well into Ultrakill. Imagine a starved husk of a man whose only response to seeing you is “FOOD”. The idea for his arena could be really cool as well with water being on the floor similar to Sisyphus only it moves away from him based in his position.
As a christian I would love to see Jesus in Ultrakill, also I made time stamps:
0:00 - Intro
0:28 - Jesus Prime
1:48 - Aegeus Prime

3:35 - Daedalus Prime

I have a theory that’s more so about ULTRAKILL as a whole, but can also tie into P-3. We learn from the secret levels that God regrets free will and the creation of hell. He wants desperately to undo his mistakes and start anew, but he can’t.
So, now let’s look at V1. V1 is a soulless war machine with no free will, and we don’t really know why they’re in hell besides “blood is fuel”. Let’s look at what V1 is doing in hell. According to Gabriel at the end of act 2, we’re actually destroying it layer by layer. “All gone”, he says.
Now, who in the lore would want Hell destroyed? God! V1 is a machine sent by God to destroy hell. It also makes sense in regard to Gabriel’s actions. God sees free will as a mistake. The citizens of heaven likely have free will. V1 fights with Gabriel, which directly results in Gabriel cutting himself off from God’s light, Gabriel killing the council, and almost certainly sending Heaven into a violent chaos.
That’s my personal head canon about the game as a whole, but I also have multiple theories about P-3. The thing about P-3 is that it’s the last level in the game. It has to be huge. I think that, once V1 is done destroying the rest of hell, P-3 will either be just God or God and Hell.
Now, it doesn’t really make sense for V1 to kill God if it was sent to Hell by God, right? V1 has no free will to do so. Right?
That could be wrong. When you fight V2 in Greed, V1 actually talks. He says that V2 is not getting away this time. That could mean that V1 is developing some free will and thought. Which also gives V1 the freedom to battle God and usurp the universe.
I could go more in depth with my different P-3 theories, because this is definitely a quick explanation, but it’s the gist. I am definitely confident in my theory of V1 being sent to kill Hell by God, though.
i do get the feeling that hell itself might be the final boss, fighting with gabriel in his final moments against hell, probably not likely, but it's a nice thing to think about
Tbh cool
would be kinda cool to fight alongside gabriel
Unlikely, but I think Orpheus is a great prime soul candidate
1.) He is of noble blood
2.) would be guilty of treachery after betraying hades and eurydices by looking back
3.) He is one of the most prominent Greek mythological figures (Minos and Sisyphus were both characters that even someone not well versed in Greek mythos could know about, and I feel Orpheus fits this criteria.
4. He's well versed in the arts, and could be portrayed to have a relation to the library of babel and 7-1.
5. He's a musician, which would be fitting in a game full of musical references.
It's more so that I want it to be Orpheus than I actually think it will be. Daedalus or Icarus seem to be the best candidates overall.
What bout Tantalus
tbh Tantalus or Ixion would be an amazing Prime Soul candidates. They're mythological Greek kings, have commited various terrible acts, the works.
Maybe the prisons would reflect their punishments. Tantalus' would be like a tree,
and Ixion's would be a wheel.
5:19 caught trying to parry with knuckleblaster
It's been my theory for a while now that Daedalus is the one who gave the enemies of Hell their cybernetic augmentations, being an inventor in Greek mythology. Maybe he was punished for this? It would give him much more plot significance and give an easy way to explain how he ended up as a prime soul. He could have been researching cybernetics because of Icarus dying or something, and his love for Icarus caused such significant willpower? Additionally, you would access P-3 via Treachery--modifying sinners could be considered as treachery.
My personal theory is King Amphiaraus, not only does he follow the theme of Greek kings being the prime souls, but he also appears in fruad in Dantes Inferno.
His mythology also acts as a pretty decent blueprint for his possible lore, a king reluctant to go to war, only to be convinced by his wife, Eriphyle, to join the conflict. Eriphyle could easlily be replaced with Hell Itself in Ultrakill, influencing Amphiaraus to wage war with the heavens, a war he doesn't want to do, but is forced to, leading to his death.
I think it would be Gabriel Prime, considering that Gabriel was accused of all 3 of the sins in act 3 in the cutscene and he could be an extremely good finale. Maybe we end up killing him but he ends up imprisoned in act 3 in which we eventually fight him in p-3 as a prime soul
My bro Dionysius didnt even get mentioned. My Boy got violated.💀💀💀
Poor Odysseus too… Act 3 has fallen, billions must experience *BLOODSHED!*
Poor tyrant, his appearance in OXBLOOD's fan P-3 concept was in vain
I just thought Midas Prime was gonna be P-3… You know great Greek king from myth who committed a grave sin. Betrayal would also be a perfect layer for him with him turning his daughter to gold in some of the oldest tellings. Hell he would also fit Fraud pretty well and even violence to a lesser extant considering his possible connections to Mita.
What would be funny is that the prime soul emerges but then Gabriel comes in and one shots him and the most sick fight ever occurs
Get ready to receive some Holy Spirit...
What?!
YOU COVERED YOUR TRACKS WELL, BROTHER. BUT *NOT. WELL. ENOUGH!*
"holy spirit" fits the censored text in minotaur entry lmao
@nbgaming9737 ...This changes many, many things. Purely in theory of course, but that makes it a fun avenue to go down for funsies.
There is someone on the sub reddit that drew an absolutely amazing art of ramses prime and from it alone i gaslit myself to believing he is next
I personally think Hell Prime would be a good idea; The level is you climbing out all the way back to prelude, you reach the empty earth, and than hell itself opens up trying to swallow you whole, the fight goes from you yourself breaking out of a flesh prison that is actually the ozone layer of earth and you fight a Hell covered earth against planets in phase 2
My main reasoning for god being the prime soul is that sealing himself away in hell feels like the most likely place he went since the testament in 7-S implies he tried to kill himself but couldn't.
I said it in a comment on the previous P-3 video, but Menelaus Prime. Because of his involvement with Troy and the Trojan Horse, his being a Greek king, etc., I think he's also...a prime candidate.
...I'm not apologizing.
Considering the first two souls. Ranked by difficulty it goes Minos to Sisyphus.
Minos: A minor king, his main feat was trapping daedalus and icarus in a tower.
Sisyphus: A king, his main feat was trapping the god of death Thanatos in a box.
I think their strength is based on their punishment in hell, Minos' punishment by the gods was having his wife fall in love with a cow,
while Sisyphus' punishment was more severe (pushing a boulder up a hill over and over again).
Minos freed sinners from their punishments by god, a crime which had him killed.
Sisyphus waged war against heaven, a crime which had him tortured and then killed.
This is why I believe that the 3rd and final Prime Soul will probably be someone with a horrible punishment and a horrible crime against god.
Here are my guesses, from most likely to somewhat likely
King Erysichthon: He was a king, his crime was destroying Demeter's grove and one of Demeter's most beloved Dryads. His punishment was insatiable hunger. No matter how much he ate he was always hungry, and the more he ate the hungrier he became. This goes on and on until he's spent all of his money on food, leaving his kingdom in shambles, until he eventually eats himself.
Prometheus: His punishment was being strapped to a boulder and having birds eat out his organs while he regenerates. Although he wasn't a king, he still had a horrible punishment. His punishment was due to him stealing fire from the gods and giving it to the humans he sculpted. He is placed 2nd due to the fact that the third Prime Soul being a king is not confirmed.
King Midas: Another king, but highly unlikely, he helped Dionysus (the reason he had the Golden Touch), and his only punishment was growing donkey ears after saying that Pan plays better than Apollo. He's the most well known king that isn't a god, but he has no reason to be in hell.
A cool idea would maybe be having the 3rd prime soul be the person who invented the machines in the first place. It would make sense for the guy who invented one of the deadliest and most powerful weapons known to man, that almost wiped out man, to be a prime soul.
My personal theory is that the final prime soul will be King Icarus, as Hakita does like to twist the original stories. Daedalus wasn't the only one locked in the labyrinth, and Icarus holds themes of escape, falling from grace, and flying too close to the sun. Cant wait to see how the story fits
I like the idea of tantalus prime. It fits with the Greek kings, he has a known punishment in hell, and he fits with all 3 layers of act 3 (violence-killing his son, fraud/treachery - tricking the gods into eating his son)
My theory is that instead of Daedalus, the prime soul would be Icarus. He is literally the epitome of “Fraud” and it would be cool for him to be the king of it.
I would love Adam and Eve Prime just because the idea of fighting two minos primes at once is fun as hell
Lucifer was mentioned in Testament IV to be cast into hell, so if his lore is expanded on in future updates I'd say he has a very good shot at being P-3.
I don’t know why nobody has mentioned him before but I think Tantalus is the most likely to become a prime soul. Here are the reasons why:
1. Tantalus was a Greek king just like Minos and sysiphus.
2. He suffered from a heavy punishment and is confined in hell.
3. His sin embodies the last layers of hell violence, fraud and treachery. For those who don’t know his story he basically tried to challenge the mightiness of the gods (fraud) by feeding them with the flesh of his kin (violence and treachery). In the end he got caught and was made stand in a pool of water which would dry up when he tried to drink from it and below a tree with low branches with the fruit rotting from his grasp.
Jesus actually does make sense. Imagine after Jesus died, the angels who decides who goes to heaven or hell didn't believe Jesus when he claimed to be the son of god, in their eyes, the real Jesus would be in heaven by now since he already died once. They accuse him of impersonating Jesus, being labeled as both a fraud, and having committed treachery in attempting to mask himself as god's son. Because of how influential he ended up being, there's no way he's not forming a prime soul. This all also ties into the themes of people unjustly being sent for eternal punishment as seen in the books found in lust and greed.
Alternatively...
P-3 will be the one dude who's name is redacted that's welding metal to strays, replacing the stalker's rocks with canisters of sand, and being the guy who created the minotaur.
Respectfully people need to shut up about v2-v3
Agreed, also people need to realise just how goofy jesus prime or god prime would be
RECONSTRUCT *WHAT!?*
Fun is legal, let them keep saying things about v2-v3 and move on with our lives
Hakita him self as a April fools joke, but if you defeat him you get to keep him in the spawn menu but the fight requires pure skill and is basacally a boss rush before you get to him
gabriel prime would sound sick
I would say that one possible idea for "hell prime" is what i call the heart of hell. Simply put you arent fighting all of hell, your just fighting its core.
Personally the way i can see god as a prime soul is just... him completely having given up, hes so consumed by his regret of having created hell that he just, doesnt fight. He just lets you do your thing without even fighting back.
But that probably fits more as a P-4 thing that comes after all 3 actual prime bosses
The lore entries in the secret levels are already about him being so consumed by his regrets that he becomes outright depressed, that would be a kinda satisfying conclusion to end at i think
king midas will can work for many reasons
-greek myth/leader
-did some unholy
-can connect to an ultrakill layer
the story (just in case people dont know) is that midas loved being wealthy and had lots of gold to show, he made a deal with Dionysus for 1 wish, he wanted that "everything he touched turned to gold" but he accidently made is food, water, and even daughter to gold. now the story has 2 ending of he wishes for it to be redone and ending 1 is that curse is lifted and he now is not greedy, and ending 2 is that Dionysus doesnt and he ends up dying from dehydration or turning himself to gold. not only can this tie with the greed layer and fraud in some way. but the council could see the 2 ending has smt to be banished for, and his love and need for gold could have kept his will alive making him a prime soul
greed already has a prime soul, i'm sure hakita will cook up something much more interesting relating to act 3 layers
@@aviral1337 could be fraud but greed made more sense for it
Personally I'd be interested in Oedipus Prime.
1. He's a king from Greek mythology
2. He'd fit into Act 3: Killed his father (Violence against others + Treachery), married his mother (Violence against god/nature), and killed himself (Violence against oneself).
3. I like to think he'd be so mad at God for birthing him into such horrible circumstance that his rage alone would allow him to go Prime.
4. He would fit that theme of all Prime souls having their eyes covered in some way in their portraits (Tore his own eyes out)
And 5. His blindness could lead to interesting gimmicks in his fight.
I have a feeling it could be Gabriel, because he has a massive following of husks though out the game, he's important to the story and it would make sense if we kill him (probably) in 9-2 (idk if hakita has disproven this or not)
I believe it's going to be Jason, he was supposed to be the rightful heir to the throne by birthright but after going on a quest to become the king of Iolcus like he deserved he failed, but yet he kept trying and in his attempt to become royalty he committed a sin so vile it landed him so deep into the inferno it was even lower than 7 according to Dante's Inferno, I'm not explaining this well but mark my words, it's gonna be him
I wonder how prime soul will appear. in P-1 we had Flesh Prison which we had to kill. in P-2 prime soul came out free itself. I dare to assume that by the time we arrive in the room with the boss, the dungeon will already have been defeated
3:03 you used the rocket launchers primary fire on a malicious face lol
i think midas could be a cool candidate for prime soul if the sanctum is in treachery (alot of treacherers are those who kill their children, which is filicide, and midas kills his daughter in the original myth with the midas touch. that could also be linked maybe to a golden arm beingg the yellow arm and it not coming from gabriel.)
3:04 coldbrew spotted trying to rocket launcher a maurice
The theory (or hope) i have, is that we have a double prime boss fight, Daedalus and his son, Icarus. Icarus fits the name for the terminal entry for the minotaur, and Icarus would go against his fathers wishes to start an uprising in hell during God's dissapearance, causing him to be inprisoned and Daedalus to be his warden in violence, Daedalus being the "flesh prison". Or maybe both of them being prime souls, Daedalus choosing to side with his son out of anger for God's hypocrisy or perhaps simply wanting to cause bloodshed out of boredom and assuming total control of the last 3 layers of hell, to toy with them the way Hell itself does.
Tbh i dont think its likely but it'd be really cool to have a double prime boss and it makes sense as a way to up the difficulty for P-3, as theres a major difficulty spike in each Sanctum.
4:08 and imagine a Minotaur boss that comes before you fight him. Very likable theory. A pattern of every prime soul just being in a flesh prison is kind of unlikely.
6:27 v2 will definitely not be alive but… maybe v3 most likely can be a boss fight… And I’d imagine the introduction would be v2’s mangled corpse landing in the arena and just fucking exploding. Then after a few seconds v3 steps in.
a theory that i and some others have is midas prime. he would fit perfectly into the roster of prime souls, minos and sisyphus being cruel greek kings in their lifetime, just like midas. however, he suffers from the lack of context like aegeus. he was not mentioned in the comedy (at least i think) and wouldn't fit well into the lore.
(also gold mechanics in a midas prime boss fight would be sick as hell)
not for p3 (cause i think daedalus is gonna be the prime boss) but for fraud, i have always thought thats its gonna be some kind of cave/mineshaft type of theme but i havent seen anyone say something similar to my idea, and i think it can make some sense cause of the whole void and backrooms idea everyone has
It’d be interesting if prometheus prime wasn’t in a flesh prison, but chained to a rock or demon, and the eyes were replaced by birds. Sort of imagine him saying something like,
“I gave humanity fire. Betrayed our god. That fire has fought itself, and thus it gave life, as did it give death. It seems fire has come back to me.”
What if instead of fighting a flesh prison first the prime soul already broke out and is now awaiting you in a plastic chair while Bury The Light plays through a radio
Remember, P-1 And P-2 Took Place in The Layer / Environment From the Layer you Enter them From, So P-3 Probably Takes Place in a Frozen Wasteland if Layer 9's Environment is Taken from Dante's Inferno, But Both Layer 3 and Layer 6 Had a Red Colorscheme though.
i enjoy the (probably unlikely) idea that Gabriel is going to be the third prime soul, which would mean that p-3 isnt going to have a flesh prison/panopticon, and gabriel would be roaming free, lest he be improsined by the kingdom of heaven by unanimous vote after he died from the severed light (supposedly)
I know this probably sounds stupid, but hear me out… Gabriel Prime. In all seriousness, I really think this could happen. Gabriel is going to die, and has a passionate rivalry with V1 and is determined to beat them. This could give his soul enough determination to become a prime soul, but I could also see it not being enough. Also, Gabriel said that he will meet V1 again, but he’s about to die, so him being a prime soul could be a more reasonable way for us to fight him again, rather than it being before he dies (because the father’s light is leaving his body, and he likely wouldn’t have enough strength to put up a good fight before he dies). Lastly, Act III is called “Godfist Suicide.” Because Gabriel referred to himself as “the righteous hand of the father (fist of god),” I could see this referencing Gabriel killing the council, sealing his fate. However, it could also hypothetically reference Gabriel risking (and inevitably losing) his final chance at life as a prime soul in order to try to beat V1.
Personally I'm very big on the idea of Tantalus
my big predection ( though he would need to be eddited in a way ) is zeus as a prime soul. mainly cause he fits criteria 1, Zues had a gigantic following, 2 he was the king of the greek gods but due to him already being an wxisting god why he is trapped there is where my idea falters a little, but i coould see him fitting a lucifer-ish type role where he tried to overthrow heaven or the coucnil and was locked away for it. What do yall think?
I personally would love to see Atlas as the Prime soul and it does seem kinda likely cause
1. Greek king
2. His story can be pretty easily translated into revolting against the council
3. As a boss, havibg another huuuuge enemy would be amazing (cause levi was kind of underwhelming as a boss)
4. "P-3: Weight of the world" no thats not the only reason i wanna see him
hank can be a perfect canidate for p-3 (the skeleton that you can put a blue skull in 1-4) if you think about it there might be a soul in that skull probably ferryman soul and hank is probably frozen since 1-4 might be cold in place that "ferryman" soul is trying to break out of the shell with alot of willpower and if it does break out it can theoretically become a prime soul but hey thats just a theory a GAME theory
Daedalus killed his cousin in mythology, so his legacy being in the layer violence makes perfect sense to me.Also, the name Daedalus prime sounds good, and all the other evidence that can be found throughout the current act 3 and its lore videos. I see no better option.
I also had a theory for who might be the third prime soul, but it was in the replies of a different comment, so i am posting it here.
I have the idea that the third prime sould might be Cain. This is due to the fact it was said that "MANKIND IS DEAD" at the start of the game, but Cain is immortal and was not mentioned to have died in any specific way. As such, i imagine his flesh "cage" would be his own body, due to the immortality he was cursed with by god. Now, since he is immortal some might be asking how he is in hell. To that, i ask a different question, how are all the machines in hell too? If there is a gateway to hell on earth, Cain could go through it and possibly even follow V1 through it's entire journey if he wanted to, hiding behind the walls, looking from afar and revealing that he was following the machine since the beginning of it's mission, but that would mean that hakita has to add easter eggs where he is hiding, so that you, the player, can actually meet him. I also think it is Cain due to the 3rd prime soul also being the last prime soul, meaning that it might break the standards brought on by Minos and Sisyphus, being heretical greek kings and all of that. Also, some might mention The Minotaur entry, but as far as i am aware, it has not been confirmed if "#### ######" is the censored name of the 3rd prime soul and that is just speculation, not to mention that both Minos and Sisyphus did not have their names redacted in the books that the player could find.
I think Lucifer/Satan Prime makes sense solely because of his connection to treachery in Dante's Inferno. It's literally so perfect, but that makes it predictable, and it would be cheesy. Then again, it might be a fun way to tie ULTRAKILL to New blood's other game, Faith. Facing the Devil as a flesh prison also sounds sweet. One Prime Soul that would break the mold but expand the story could be a fictional character unique to the ULTRAKILL universe. Imagine you get to fight the original creator and/or inventor of the Guttertank, the Earthmover, or even V1. An issue with this, though, is that the story itself isn't too focused on these events, so having this guy as the prime soul, while it would be significant, probably wouldn't make much sense.
I believe that midas prime would work very well other than the greed layer being in act 2. King Midas's crime could have been that he tried to claim the greed layer all for himself which led him to be banished by Sisyphus.
Out of P-3 ideas
Saladin would be a good replacement of Minos
and Furies to Sisyphus
My theory of Daedalus prime’s “wronging of Heaven” is him creating wings for Icarus to escape the tower he was trapped in. In Ultrakill, this could be interpreted as him creating “wings” for husks to escape hell and get to heaven as false angels, but getting caught and killed, sent to a prison of flesh
Also, for hell prime, a personal theory I have is that hell is not a prime soul but the final boss, specifically in a center of hell pseudo-act (as we know that exists in Dante’s inferno) where it’s like a heart of hell that is killable if an entity can make it through the entirety of hell, that entity being v1. It’s a complicated idea and I’ll make a video on it eventually.
Also, it ain’t gonna be Jesus prime. But Prometheus prime seems more awesome the more I think about it
Daedalus was also a descendant of the Greek king Cecrops which technically makes them royalty. And his willpower could probably have come from the idea that his life was nothing but suffering (the loss of Icarus, his nephew, the labyrinth, being trapped in hell, etc-) and he just wants a second chance. Probably a stretch, but I think it’s probable. One iteration of the death of Daedalus ends with a cult ruled by Minos’ brother in mythology, but in Ultrakill this could be Gabriel as in Ultrakill that’s the closest thing we have in the lore
I was gonna make this as my video but I never did because I had too much stuff to do
So here’s all the stuff I was gonna say.
icarus prime as a bigoted, bloodthirsty king who breaks into heaven to try and redeem himself but gets offed and cast down into a flesh containment thing in treachery
would give him a (albeit morbid) reason to try and form a rapport with Minos, what layer would have the most ppl this icarus would hate if not the lust layer?
& how bigotry can manifest as the act 3 layers
My favorite theory was in the newblood discord. Someone asked if V1 could beat prime Mike Tyson, someone replied what about Mike Tyson Prime. aRock drove it home with “thith prithon? To hold me?”
My theory (not rly a theory I just like the character) for P-3 is Daedalus. In greek mythology, he knew minos and even built the labyrinth in which the minotaur is stuck for him.
Even though Jesus Prime likely isn’t the P3 boss, the UK community will absolutely make their own with mods when the game is fully released
Hear me out, Gabrial Prime, just think about it
"I died for humanity's sins.. but you are a sin that couldn't have been rid of.. Sin of Man, it's time for you to see what I died for!"
personally i dont want p-3 to follow the footsteps of p-1 and p-2 but instead be an alternative ending to ultrakill. maybe lucifer prime or god, something like that
I think the same something along the lines of The fight against gaberiel would be a ending where existence can slowly rebuild itself maybe v1 and gabe's fight being so large and great hell itself collapses from it and the p-3 fight to be the worst case scenario
hakita said that the prime sanctums will not effect the story, so that's a shame
@@purple781 ah, didnt know that. well spare me my delusions
Maybe Gabriel ? He's gonna die for sure, has a strong soul fueled by hatred and has slain the council (which I think is absolute heresy in the eyes of Heaven) and is either already dead or will be killed by V1 soon.
(Edit : I haven't played Violence yet so if there are any specific clues about the third prime soul, my theory was made without knowing about those)
It feels weird that Aegeus would be a better candidate than Daedalus. He literally created the labyrinth, he did all the engineering behind creating the minotaur (because realistically, the creator of the minotaur was Pasiphae). Additionally, Daedalus killed his newphew out of jealousy, King Minos was killed by Daedalus to save his life, and he helps Ariadne kill the minotaur. On top of that, another portion of violence is violence against the gods, which also fits Daedalus. In order to escape King Minos, we get the myth of Icarus. Icarus, however, doesn't matter in this case. The fact that Daedalus made wings at all was blasphemous, because flying was something only the gods could do, and a human attempting to fly was seen as challenging their power.
so anyways, yeah. Daedalus Prime.
edit: looks like you also covered this in the vid :P Hopefully my comment helps cement it as a higher possibility

I’m not super confident in any one theory but I feel like the Greek mythology connection is less important than the Divine Comedy connection (Minos was directly in the story and Sisyphus seemingly inspired one of the punishments) so I think Lucifer, who is confirmed to exist in Ultrakill lore, is still on the table.
That said, Jesus is seemingly non-canon to Ultrakill (since the cross was stated to symbolize the Tree of Life rather than Jesus’s crucifixion), so I’d say that deconfirms both Jesus Prime and Judas Prime.
I’ve also seen a theory that Gabriel will die in Layer 8 (Hakita’s already messed with the boss format this act by having the first boss be a giant, instead of the second boss), and that might give him time to reform as a Prime Soul in Layer 3, just without the Flesh Prison equivalent (since Sisyphus destroyed the Flesh Panopticon before you can, it’d make sense for the next step to just skip it entirely).
If you really want someone Greek, maybe Antaeus? He was a giant who fought Heracles and also appears in Dante’s Inferno between the 8th and 9th layers, so he fits both the Greek connection and the Inferno connection, while being a potentially quite imposing opponent, having fought Heracles and being immortal as long as he touches the ground (which could translate into a mechanic where you can only damage him if you either hit him during jumping attacks, or knock him off the ground with high knock-back attacks).
I have no idea if this has been said before, but Odysseus, literally one of the most famous characters in all of greek mythology, deserves some speculation
I would love Prometheus, or Daedalus. Though, a duo or triple fight would be cool as well. But I guess there's only one way to find out and that's to wait.
If hakita wants to shake up the prime sanctum level foundation, he could have Brutus, Judas and Cassius as 3 boss fights in one level. There would be no prior arenas and not even a flesh prison fight.
In Dante's Inferno, the heads of Satan is chewing on the three sinners. i imagine you could walk into the sanctum and have a dead satan frozen in ice, and the three sinners easily break out and face you as brutas and cassius being a duo fight while judas is just one
I imagine he would be a truly innocent prime soul, only to be betrayed by the council and locked in a flesh prison so they can gain more power
I think the concept of the Adam and Eve fight would be cool but not for a prime sanctum, I love the idea of Daedalus, but the Adam and Eve fight idea got my brain going and I eventually figured that Daedalus could be accompanied by Icarus, and hakita could do something cool like with the twins from terraria where one has faster higher damaging projectiles and the other has slower weaker but DOT attacks.
V2 prime, so upset that you took his arm(s) that he turned into a prime soul
My personal favorite has always been Midas Prime. If you ask someone on the street to name a random Greek king, one of the first people to come to mind will be King Midas, instead of Prometheus or Daedalus (who are both not kings, unlike Minos and Sisyphus). He perfectly follows the preestablished rules, and would make a perfect king for Fraud.
To quote Hakita himself, "You'd have to be real dumb to put characters named Minos and Midas in the same story." While I don't think Midas is a bad idea, the odds of it happening are very small.
Damocles prime

0:11 where xd
top right corner, lil "i" symbol is a link to my vid abt it
@@coldbrewYT Ah makes sense, for me, the video link didn't pop up
Btw, if you watched the dev stream, there are many crosses in game and they dont represent jesus and represent the tree of life, that probably insinuates that jesus doesnt exist in Ultrakill
what about that one guy who made the wax wings
i personally think its daedalus cuz think about it daedalus and his wings contributed into the first making of machines which now we know were causing all the trouble in the great war which i think is what lend him into the treachery layer of hell sense hes technically responsible for all the deaths in that war
Midas prime. Just a slight touch and you're a golden statue
