God I just know the end of ULTRAKILL is going to be peak...

I can already imagine it, amidst the desolation of Treachery, at the end of everything, Gabriel approaches you one last time, and utters...

"What, still here?

Hand it over. That thing. Your ULTRAKILL.

For my GODFIST SUICIDE..."

IT'S FINALLY FUCKING DONE. I'M FINALLY FREE

UNTIL FRAUD COMES OUT

Tumblr shrinks it down pretty bad so please. please. I am begging you. look at the full sized image and zoom in. This art piece made my friends worried for my mental health I need someone to witness the amount of detail and effort I put into this

also the original sketch under the cut bc I think comparing them is really funny

[carelessapples]

personal hc: golden arm isn’t going to be gabriel’s literal arm. instead it’ll be a hand-holding mechanic (a la little nightmares 2)

something something orpheus and eurydice idk

[raptorrobot]

thinking about the potential beats of gabriel's act 3 fight..... what title would he even be paired with. he's no longer the judge of hell or an apostate of hate. would he even have a title. or would just his name show up. empty of all purpose. i'm going to be sick

Listen, I know the entire development process of Ultrakill has just been "how the hell are they gonna top this?" and then they do, but how the hell are they gonna top Violence?

[distressedbeanpole]

Okay Ultrakill Crack theory on who the next prime soul is. I personally think the third prime soul will stick with the Greek King theme.

In original Myth, Minos was the king that built the labyrinth, and had a wide who cheated on him with a bull (compelled by Poseidon but whatever) Minos was made a judge of hell in Greek myth AND in Dante's inferno.

We know in Ultrakill itself, Minos started as an esteemed judge in hell, and fell from grace so to speak by uplifting Lust.

Then we have Sisyphus. While he doesn't exactly show up in the Divine comedy, traces of him do, especially in the greed layer, where the greedy participate in the Sisyphean task of pushing their wealth past someone with a similar amount of wealth.

[insert rest of breakdown of existing prime souls because I'm tired] oh but one point I want to make is that Sisyphus was made low, and kept down after the insurrection.

My guess is Odysseus, or as he's known in Inferno, Ulysses. Wasn't Odysseus the hero of his story? Yeah, but the Romans HATED this guy. He went around, lying about who he was, tricking his foes and all that. The Greeks saw him as clever and cunning. The Romans saw him as a dishonorable backstabber. His story ultimately ends with him returning to his kingdom (after YEARS of being away) he dresses up as a stranger, joins the competition to win his wife, and after he wins goes "Heyo it's me, everyone who tried to get with my wife is gonna die now. And also also, everyone who tried to get with the guys that tried to get with my wife can be hung."

Known for the strategy of the Trojan Horse, this guy was a trickster. So how does he translate to.Ultrakill?

I think, Ulysses was involved in some sort of rebellion similar to Sisyphus and Minos. While Minos and Sisyphus were trying to improve the lives of those around them, Ulysses joined a similar cause, but betrayed them from the very start for a promise of gaining leadership.

Ulysses is the current ruler of a layer of hell, gained by forsaking those around him, those that believed him to be a leader, ones that believed his counsel.

Ulysses will be built of fraud, every action, and every word an attempt to raise himself up. Ulysses will have started at nothing and pulled his way up above everyone else.

In terms of gameplay, I think Ulysses would use their Flesh prison as a Defensive mechanism, like a Trojan horse. You'll be fighting this thing, and then when you get it almost low then BAM this guy pops out and uses some fancy language to say stuff like "Thanks for getting rid of the competition" and "I've worked too hard to let you ruin this"

Then he AND his flesh vault will be attacking you. Things start getting bad for Ulysses he'll retreat back inside.

I feel like the idea has merit but babysitting and class has ruined me, so I'm just gonna set this down and go. Let me know what y'all think

It could also be midas, cause it seems like Midas Sisyphus and Minos are grouped as like 3 bad kings but Ulysses might be dope

this thought has been sitting in my head for awhile,

the information that is learnt from the ultrakill arg being solved, we know that hell itself is actually alive. hell itself is actually the force behind the doors locking and is the one that is modifying the husks such as soldiers and strays. now combining this information with the testaments at the end of most secret levels, we realize the terror that is behind the words : "I HAVE CREATED HELL . . . And now I can no longer unmake it." - from Testament III

god is terrified of the free will that hell itself has gained and then, if we combine that information with what we learned from the testament in 5-S in which god cast lucifer down into hell only to realize what he had done, it's made me think.. since it is apparent that hell has more interest in angels than robots, this due to the eye in 3-2 being more focused on gabriel than v1.. what if lucifer were not a prime soul but was modified by hell itself after being trapped within its domain since being cast out?
