#ultrakill layer 5

[noriyucko]

ENOUGH of the WRATH SLANDER

-ferryman is BEAUTIFUL and once you get used to her patterns its easy to parry and p rank her fight

-sure the layer has 2 dont touch water challenges but the other two are some of the easiest to complete challenges in the game

-most underrated soundtrack ever (deep blue, death odyssey, and the abyss and the serpent are repeated 10 TIMES ON MY CG PLAYLIST)

-its accurate for wrath to be the most frustrating to p rank

-fish

-FLORP 10 YEARS RUNNING HERO rip for his noble sacrifice

I WILL ALWAYS LOVE YOU WRATH

[l1lac-nights]

finally got round to finishing off Act II 🙏

I’d already done the bosses, 4-1 and 6-1 beforehand, took me a while to find the energy to do the rest lol

of the ones I had leftover somehow 4-2 gave me the most trouble? I expected to struggle the most on the Wrath levels or 4-3 but they weren’t as bad

the Wrath levels actually only took me like. 2 or 3 tries each. which was even more surprising because I have NO muscle memory for Wrath, I vaguely remembered some parts of 5-2 but i’d almost completely forgotten 5-1 and 5-3

I’ll try P-2 soon I need a break first though 🫡

[itsyaboi-ray]

help i think i'm addicted to the guitar solo at the end of war without reason

[despairingethics]

p-3 is going to be ferryman prime for sure 100%

[infinite---hyperdeath]

is he like.. on the moon or some other planet or something?

[luetta]

also i forgot to post this but, i p ranked ultrakill's main story !!

im pretty much done with the game now, i might come fight sisyphus prime someday, and eventually try for wave 50 in cybergrind, but i think mostly im happy with where i'm at 💛 this was such a fun game, easily top 5 for me. so excited for act 3 !!

[peridots-pixiwolf]

[Start IDs. Two ULTRAKILL screenshots from levels P-1: SOUL SURVIVOR and 6-1: CRY FOR THE WEEPER, respectively. Both are viewed from behind a death screen, as OP was killed by one of Minos' shockwaves in the first and then a Hideous Mass' explosives in the second. However, the health bars of both bosses are at 0, and the stats on the right indicate that both levels were technically completed right before death, with an S in time, kills, and style; otherwise a perfect P-Rank.

TORMENT. SUFFERING EVEN.

NEW DIRECTIVE [ ULTRAKILL AU ]

GOD IS GONE. ICHOR IS FUEL. HELL IS HOME. >> NEW DIRECTIVE: EXPLORE HELL.

Hello again folks !! It's me, Kas Cosmicalbot, here to make a new and improved guide to my ULTRAKILL AU: New Directive !!

SUMMARY: Despite V1's rampage, Hell has remained stable, letting husks, demons, and machines to thrive in a new ecosystem. Gabriel doesn't die upon the loss of the Light, and grants V1 life by providing it his blood. With no reason to fight to live, V1 uses this opportunity to explore Hell, learn about anything it desires, and spend its free time doing whatever the hell (hah) it wants.

READ THE AO3 SERIES HERE :D

New Directive is made up of a bunch of separate fics and you don't have to read all of them !! You can see all of my posts about it under #new directive au and the fic links are under #new directive fic

More details under the cut ;) I will be updating these as I think of more btw !!!!

MAJOR DETAILS

Hell doesn't collapse. Because Hell is essentially a living being, it's able to use its energy to reanimate the dead bodies of husks and create more demons from the remnants of the destroyed ones. The exist in a a smaller quantity now, but enough to keep an stable ecosystem alive.

Gabriel doesn't die after being stripped of God's Light. After he kills the Council, he throws himself back into Hell to die. But the same energy that Hell uses to reanimate its denizens fills the void left by the Light and Gabriel becomes a fallen angel. He still retains most of his divine traits, perhaps a blessing from the source of his new lifeforce.

V1 gets fuel from Gabriel in exchange for sparring with him. Angelic blood is a lot more potent than standard human blood (it has a bit of godly ichor in it) and tends to last V1 a lot longer since it takes longer to "burn" through. And because Gabriel needs a new purpose now that he's fallen, he asks that V1 spars with him so he can keep his skills sharp (and feel like he's useful in some way).

The surviving machines have built their own little communities in the upper layers. They exist mostly in Limbo and Lust, but can be sparsely found in the lower ones. These communities are fairly small, usually only about 5-7 units in a group. They work together to collect fuel, repair some of the more intact machine bodies, and keep each other safe in their new lives.

MINOR DETAILS that i enjoy a lot

Takes place after Violence and is written pre Fraud (duh)

V1 and V2 are siblings bc I said so (sorry v4v fans)

Angels can change their form at will because they're made of light

Terminals can basically create/manifest any item that a machine might ask from them

V1's wings are made of hard light, protected by a layer of resin, and with a mesh of microscopic sensors that let it store weapons and other items

FUTURE PLANS

Minos and Sisyphus will be included (minophus real)

I plan to bring V2 back bc this is a Happy(ish) AU

And Mirage also (mv2 real)

My OCs will be included eventually bc I love them and need to share them with the world

okay that's all for now go read new directive

Ultra-Impact Part 4

Idea based on @valeriele3's Live Stream post

0-3 0-4 << YOU ARE HERE 0-5

PRELUDE /// FOURTH CLAIR DE ÉTOILES

TWO SUPREME MACHINES INFORM YOU OF THE CURRENT SITUATION.

You turned your body to face the red V-model machine, looking as if they had never fought V1 in the first place. Holding out its Knuckleblaster, V2 gestured to you for a handshake and you accepted it, feeling its three slightly sharp fingers in the process.

"You're here too?" You asked the robot as you finished up your handshake. "Indeed so. And it appears that I have the glory of the first of being able to talk with the godfather of this world."

V2's voice possessed a deep tone stronger than Capitano's voice you heard in the 5.1 Update's cutscenes on YouTube. They- or rather he- sounded cold and calculating, almost akin to a mafia boss or skilled hitman.

(A/N: V2's voice, in this case, sounds like the security units from The Callisto Protocol; the voice in question is Type 1 in the video.)

V1 then walked over to you two and the blue war robot pointed a middle finger at the red peacekeeping robot with its right arm while having its left arm on its hips.

"Hey, it's not my problem that the terminal procured my voice box faster than yours." V2 then looked towards the terminal before walking up to it. You followed closely out of curiosity. "Speaking of that, are you done procuring V1's voice box?"

The terminal's screen displayed a singular word: "YES." Meanwhile, you could see your Twitch chat fill up with messages on V2.

quantoom: Bro V1 and now V2??

johnifer donated $20.00 "OH MY GOD IT'S V2 AWOOGAH ARF ARFARFARF BARKBARKBARKBARKRBARKABRKABRAKR"

Mike: wtf

feetusdeletussthenyeetus donated $33.00 "Calm down bitch."

johnifer donated $69.00 "nuh uh"

feetusdeletussthenyeetus donated $69.00 "yuh huh"

NaviaLover291: Holy shot!

benjaminfan: do we just let them fight or

3929: Just lettem fight lmfao

As the two donators kept fighting with their wallets, V2's right arm suddenly had an object materialize in his left hand as his arm moved back into its original position. The object in question had a box-like shape with a speaker and some widgets and tidbits on its sides- it's likely V1's voice box, considering the "01" on the top of it.

You were kinda spooked out by this but didn't bother questioning it.

(A/N: this refers to how when you buy a weapon in Ultrakill, it kinda just materializes in your hand with no explanation; obviously this is simply for gameplay but my story does utilize some gameplay tidbits lmfao)

V2 then walked over to V1, whose animated movements made it feel giddy. The red machine then proceeded to place (it looked like a slap though with how the way the V-models place items) the voice box on V1's torso. The box disappeared with no trace of it but as usual, you didn't question it.

"Ah. Aaaah."

Now this had you raising an eyebrow because V1 picked a female's voice instead of the Microsoft SAM voice you've heard in all the videos.

(A/N: I imagine V1's voice sounds like this.)

(A/N: Do not question why the fuck I chose that in particular or I will eat all of your cookies)

"Oh, uh, hello, godfather! I can verbally communicate with you now!" V1 said, striding it- herself over to you. "And before you ask 'I thought your voice would be Microsoft SAM,' I'm a robot with no voice by default and as such there is nothing wrong with me being a girly girl~!"

You just stared at her with a blank expression. "O...kaaay, V1. It's just different, that's all."

"Any problems with that?"

"Nope."

"Alright cool!"

V2 then looked at the both of you. "Alright. Since our dear godfather just recently arrived, let me catch you up." He then looked at the terminal and pointed to it. "See that terminal over there? It tried warning you on that neck section of that 1000-THR Earthmover in Hell's Violence layer. To not touch the lands ruled by the seven gods... or what you know as Teyvat."

V2 then looked down. "As much as I would blame your curiosity, you would only have delayed the inevitable. I won't sugarcoat it: Hell is controlling Teyvat and its people in an attempt to kill you."

Your expression grew mortified, bewildered, and lost simultaneously. "Whoa whoa wait what?? Hell itself took over fucking Genshin??"

He looked back up at you, radiating serious yet somber energy despite his camera head only granting so much expression. "Unfortunately so. When you made your way to Teyvat, you inadvertently opened a backdoor for Hell to enter. It took over under the guise of those 'SAGAU Impostor AUs' on that Tumblr section or something."

"...Is that why all those Knights of Favonius have red eyes?" V2 nodded. "They're being utilized as puppets; just like the Mannequins. With little to no control, they're forced to simply attack anything they see."

Hearing all this left you with a question: "But why me? I mean, not to be self-degrading, but I'm just a dumbass who plays games on a camera for a buncha people!"

The machine's next words somehow ended up just as, if not more mortifying than his last ones. "True. But that's not Hell's plan. See, once you die, you'll be dead in the real world. And the organism of suffering will utilize your computer to attempt to manifest itself into the real world."

"But that's not gonna happen!" V1 interjected, her voice still chippy as her previous sentence. "You got not one, but two supreme machines perfectly capable of taking on the entirety of Hell here to help you out of this shitfest. I still have my arsenal, and I helped V2 gain equivalent weapons thanks to that terminal that tried to warn you. And that brings us to your arsenal!"

She then dragged you to the terminal before selecting a gun icon in the top left corner, which pulled up a tab titled "WEAPONS." It was like Ultrakill's weapon screen, currently only with the revolvers. Except, you noticed that the revolvers were different from the base game.

Your default revolver- or better said revolvers- were the Dual Wield revolvers. Their icon was two blue revolvers, one placed upon the other. They costed zero points to buy, so you decided to click on them.

(A/N: Look here and set the video to 0:43 seconds and then peek at the bottom left corner)

Suddenly, your arms briefly clipped downwards before two revolvers appeared in your hands and you cautiously looked at them. They both resembled the Piercer Revolver, but this time, they had what looked to be a "12" in the display section where the battery should be.

A tutorial box then popped up in your vision.

DUAL REVOLVERS: CHOOSE TO ATTACK A SINGULAR TARGET OR TWO TARGETS SIMULTANEOUSLY. LIMITED AMMO; SHOOT WISELY.

This meant that the display was likely for ammo.

"Ooh! You got double the firepower!" V1 excitedly said, already peeking at your revolvers. "Now can I have my Sharpshooter revolver back now?" You remembered that you still had it in your pocket and you nodded. V1 took her revolver from your pocket before saying a quick "thank you~!"

V2 looked at your new weapons and nodded. "You do indeed, godfather. Perhaps we should teach you some-" Suddenly, the sky flashed a bloody red and he stopped speaking.

"Shit... it seems that Hell finally caught up to us." He then walked up to the terminal and pushed a hidden button on its left side; this output a device akin to a phone and shut the terminal down. V2 grabbed it and hastily put it in your pocket.

"I'll explain later, godfather! Follow us!" You followed the two machines out of the forest, but once you did so...

...the three of you were met with a large force of fleshy figures in the distance. "It's sending husks after us..." V1 remarked. "Well, godfather, I hope you're ready for a true trial by fire, because I SURE AM CRAVING SOME BLOOD RIGHT NOW!"

You simply stared at the army of sinners as you held up your revolvers, still a little panicked. However, upon seeing V1 and V2 prepare for combat, you decided that at that moment, if Hell wanted to kill you, it would not do so without a fight.

Ultrakill - ACT II

(art i did in 2022 when act II's layer's 5 & 6 released and posted only on twitter previously)

[ultrakill-confessions]

honestly in a game literally called ultrakill that takes place in a dying setting I still feel bad for the Ferryman specifically cause while sometimes V1 can ignore enemies and just keep going through rooms the Ferryman is the only boss whom you can choose to spare consciously and that still doesn't save them from going down with their ship when the Leviathan shows up and flips it.

also I think it would have been funny (worse to p-rank, but funny) if sparing the Ferryman in 5-2 and then breaking any furniture in 5-3 would trigger the Ferryman to chase you around the ship. bonus if they're idoled until the ship flips over or something. [yakety sax starts playing in the background]

[mqnill]

I'm gonna rank all the enemies of Ultrakill cuz I'm bored.

Btw I am a noob and played only on harmless

Filth - 10/10

Nice goobers, basically walking french fries. I can never get mad at them, because how could I be mad at my best healers in this game? They are really cute and are pretty nice. I give them big hug after they take a bite of me! :3 (One punch them for fuel because damn that mouth might've as well ate me as a whole)

Stray -8/10

A bit annoying, considering they get to stand and shoot fireballs at me and move their asses from time to time. Luckily, they're too slow and suck at aiming unless I stand in one place. Great fuel and quite noticeable throughout the game (Until 7 layer, these babies are so similar looking to these fuck ass mannequins)

Schism - 6/10

Strays but upgrade I guess. Too much attitude backed up with unnecessary annyoing ability to live after charged blue shot. Hard to swallow pill. Although they have a noticeable for some reason butt. Idk why but okay?

Soldier - 5/10

That fucking bird that I hate. Would be a nice food, if it wouldn't kick me across the country. Ew.

Stalker - 7/10

Literally don't care about this.

Sisyphean Inssurectionist - 8/10

A tad bit irritating creature, always pushing me on the hot burning sand but it is fun to jump around. Reminded me of an old game on my playground where you stand on edges of sandbox and in the middle of it there is a "Shark" (kid that lost in rock, paper, scissors). This creature is a shark and well, no wonder it lost. I would too if I would only pick rock! Lol loser

Ferryman - 7/10

He was lightning, before the thunder. Confusing bone martial art master that goes up on some building, trying to strike me down with lightning. The dissaperance trick was fun, until I jumped out in the water, thinking he was hiding from me there. I died. Not cool killing me like that, dude. Be fair. Play nice.

Malicious Face - 8/10

Again, this flying fuck pisses me off, but it's a great healing thingy that needs only 100 nails (usually) to fall dead. Although, it is a shame it has to spit in me with fire. Nasty. I'm not into that kind of thing.

Cerberus - 5/10

I'm pretty sure Cerberus is a dog with three heads from Greek myhtology, so no idea why this overgrown football player has that name. This NFL fanatic throws his stupid ball at me and takis his big boy steps to get me, but I'm faster, this is when he stomps angrily instead of communicating his issues with me. Smartest man-looking creature that enjoys any games with ball. Fun to disrespect, not fun when he throws me away like he'd throw a deodorant if someone would offer him that.

Hideous Mass - 8/10

Perhaps hideous, but gives great piggy rides. Nice lobster, but I don't like seafood. Nothing more.

Idol - 5/10

Doesn't even hurt me, but god did you really have to put my food in zipper plastic bags so I couldn't eat them? (Puts some protection spell on other enemies, most often Virtue) Low blow.

Mannequin - 0/10

AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH FUCK YOU FUCK YOU FUCK YOU!!!! FUCK AHHGHGHHGHGGH I HOPE YOU AND ALL YOUR SPECIES DIE OUT LIKE A PATHETIC COCKROACH IMMITATORS YOU ARE!!!!! Scary, creepy, hard, fast? That is supposed to me. I am the war machine that sends horror in souls and their non-existent hearts. You fucking fucks, stayed out till 7th layer to make my life difficult. I better not see your asses anymore!!!! You all will be executed on the spot. I hope you know that you are an unwanted creatures, a poor imitation of anything and you deserve nothing but to rot behind closed doors, posed in worst yoga posses you can imagine. DIE!!!!

Swordsmachine - 10/10

It may be hard to beat, but idc. I love it. So pretty, so beautiful, so fashionate. Oh wow. I missedyou, sweetheart, missed this robot from the 1st layer, been thinking about their glorious attacks and cute rushing to hit me with their arm. Had to pause a game because they were just so... so... mwah.

Drone - 7/10

One eyed poor Shockwave parody. Go boom and kill all your brothers around you, loser. Doesn't even heal and explodes.

Streetcleaner - 9/10

Just one point away because they set me on fire and that's not really nice. But overall great bots, really sweet and they sound soooo cuteee. WAHHHHHH I WANNA KISS AND HUG THEM SO BAD!!! They deserve a big hug you people!!! (Swordsmachine got some competition)

Mindflayer - 7,5/10

Pesky cyan plastic-metal woman. Okay, you teleport, okay, you shoot blue faces that haunt me until they hit the wall (why would you inspirate mannequins like that), we got it. But dying with exploding yourself after I hit you twice with taser? A bit dramatic. Somehow slay, and somehow go fuck yourself, no need to be such a hard target, just stay still, will you?

Sentry - 5/10

I don't like them, but I don't hate them.

Gutterman - 2/10

Fat ass metal discord mod harassing my innocent poor soul. Kicks me across the galaxy, doesn't heal, have a stupid shield (okay cap america enjoyer) but it won't protect you from me. I will still fry these assholes with my taser. Womp womp, die faster.

Guttertank 0/10

Annoying stupid fucking huge discord mod's brother that got mad. CRY ME A RIVER (full of blood so I could use it as a fuel) AND DIE!!!

Virtue - 9/10

Nice healing thingy that explodes, thanks man, but stop trying to destroy me with holy light. It's not difficult to dodge, I'm just lazy and would prefer if I didn't have to do much with beating common enemies.

V2 - 10/10

I love this guy. So silly. So goofy. Hard to fight because that's a literal copycat of me, but hey!!! They're fun and that is all that matters (get coin in the face goofball). Got me a good arm to deal with Discord mods and another good arm to swing around like Spiderman.. But I miss the guy, they died because of me and it's so sad that I won't see them again 💔

The Corpse of King Minos - 10/10

Dapped up this guy so hard he died and healed my scoliosis. Hope he heals his brainworms wizards with fireballs that popped out of his eyes. I don't want that much eye contact buddy.

Gabriel - 10/10

Aside of his obvious attractiveness, a really fun guy!! I beat his ass, he got fired by upper angels and was supposed to die in 24hr unless he kills me (deadline is for real DEADline here), we fight again, I win, he has a moment of realisation, goes and kills his epmloyers, all upper angels, that stupid Council and then shows the beheaded to the public. Awesome. THE GOAT (greatest of them all) fr fr. We love you Gabriel

Leviathan - 5/10

I don't like sea food, I don't like baby faces. But fight wasn't that hard.

Minotaur - 3/10

Why the hell is he chasing me on my train?! Go touch some grass or smth idk

1000-THR Defense System - 7/10

Fun, easy, but confusing. Yet not exciting.

1000-THR Earthmover - 1/10

It was sickening and depressing to fight this Evangelion boss. So many parkour, stupid pests, scary heights I had to go through, no, jump through. But the last cry of this metal creature? Healed me better than anything.

Flesh Prison ?-10

has goofy ahh loking mouth (im not feeding you) no pic doesnt deserve it

Minos Prime - 3/10

Not gonna fight this guy cuz I no no wanna. Besides, this isn't transformers, you are not a prime, you look like a long lost father of The Spot from spiderverse, unserious and unneeded use of "thy" (ok medieval grandpa), bet you are no fun.

Flesh Panopticon - 0/10

what are you. why are you.

SIsyphus Prime - 4/10

Agai, this is not transphormers, but he has a fun voiceline so I'll allow his existence I guess

[angrycheesegirl]

Something that has been depressing me about Ultrakill ever since I realized it is that in the opening area of 5-4, you can hear the Ferryman's chime playing.

That sounds like nothing, doesn't it? But come with me for a moment, and think about it for a moment.

Wrath as a layer has been fundamentally upended, what once was the River Styx flooded by billions of souls, displacing the once swamp-like landscape into an endless sea, filled with the long-still bodies of those who wished only to breathe from the surface one last time. The Ferryman has spent Millennia providing safe passage for as many people as he possibly could, his once-humble rowboat having ballooned out to an entire ocean liner in the vain hope that it would finally be enough to save the souls of those drowning in the Ocean Styx. But it was never enough; it never could be. For every husk plucked from the waves, a thousand, a million more rise to take its place. Were it not for Gabriel's intervention, he too would have slipped below the waves, succumbing to God's folly. The Ferryman was doomed from the very start, trying desperately to save a people who were damned with or without him. And now... no one will. The Ferryman, the last hope of these tortured souls, is dead; his ship in a thousand pieces at the bottom of the starless sea. The bells call out endlessly to their savior, echoing forever into the distance with no one to answer them. It's haunting.

[sssantostyle]

Playing through the revamped visuals feels like I’m playing Ultrakill for the the first time again and I could Not Be Happier.

They did such a good fucking job with the updated looks, here's my various short thoughs:

Prelude’s lighting is absolutely breathtaking now, the fact that it’s taken on more of an orange yellow color pallet was suuuch a good choice. and the mini tutorial is a lot more helpful!

Limbo’s updated Landscape really sells that Truman Show feeling of being stuck in a picturesque theatre, and the Clair de Lune level has been heightened like fucking Crazy. That chromatically abberated starry sky had me feeling pure awe.

Lust feels so much more like a welcoming city just starting to bloom but was evidently shut down and cleared out after the death of minos- and that updated skyline first being under you in the earlier levels, and then Over you during the corpse of minos bossfight is INSANELY cool.

Gluttony is so WET. and the visible heat emanating from the walls and bile of the place; really add to the claustrophobic feeling of wriggling your way through someones organs. I adore that fact that in some parts it feels like you're sliding through the veins.

Greed's updated sand texture do a much better job at conveying the fact that the sand is Actually Gold. And again the lighting changes really heighten the levels, like 4-3's big spinning green room and 4-4 In General.

Wrath is INSANE. I'm a big fan of the water's light reflection on the wall in the 5-1, and not to mention just the Entirety of 5-2. The updated rain, the lighthouse actually having a Light, the fact that you can see waves crash, and all the extra little details added to the level was such a joy to experience. As were 5-3 for its gorgeous new layout and new statues/that I'm frankly obsessed with. The biggest deal to me out of that layer though is the overhaul of the Leviathan bossfight; before it was to me the most lackluster fight despite it being one of the first bosses in the game where you fought a large monster- but the rework really did it justice.

Heresy looks so much more Unforgiving than before- blood red water being replaced with piles of skulls, literal coffins of fire that you hear screams from, Everything screams Hatred. Besides Gabriel himself that is, with his Massive Organ being bathed in red, and surrounded by candles. genuinely some of my favorite level rework!

Violence, as always, Is amazing. I expected it not to change much, and as far as I've noticed, it hasn't- but where it Did change were major improvements. The most Notable being 7-3 and 7-4, 7-3 with the text sprawling across the screen when you find the first blood tree, and 7-4 for just how much more Stuck the Earthmover seems to be. Anchored to Hell and forced to continue an endless cycle of war. It makes It's new death animation all the more tragic in a sense, watching it burst and burn into flames, and watching the blood shower around you.

ultrakill layer 1: haha funny shooter game!! wheeee!! :)

ultrakill layer 5: oh this is. hmm. there's a deeper narrative here

ultrakill layer 7:
