Getting Marked for Death in Ultrakill is Kinda Insane...

Big Johninator is actually just a joke character like the other secret encounters and doesn't have any importance to the lore at all, he's literally just a robotic version of the Big John boss from DUSK, another game published by New Blood

Just like the soap in 1-3 (I think)

P rank in the lore is the robot checklist box things at the beginning and end of every level judging you by how cool you were during the level basically, so the kill score is based off of kills that you personally did, so in 7-4 if you still didn’t fight the things that died it doesn’t count.

[@solana2301]

fun fact. I found that if you use the rocket launchers rocket stopping abilities it stops johninators rockets, so my fav tactic to beat him quick has become the green shotgun, overcharge it and use it on john when he spawns while you yourself dash out. and then just equip your rocket launcher, and if you listen, the dude before firing his rocket launcher has a sound que and while charging his beam he has a que aswell. So when you hear the sound que just activate time stop. one of the fastest ways to beat him (w/o saw launcher atleast)

Rockets explode when you whiplash them unless youre falling, but even then its inconsistent. The best way to rocket ride is to look forward but very slightly down, then quickly freeze, shoot a rocket, dash, and unfreeze at the end of your dash. This will make the rocket go directly under you and requires you to pull up way less as well.

[@ratatouille5172]

they actually changed it so that you don't have to be falling for to ride a whiplashed rocket. just make sure that you whiplash it directly below you because even a few degrees closer to horizontal will cause collision instead of a ride.

@@4kduck947 p-2 in it's entirety? yes, but individual rooms I'd disagree (except like, sisiphus prime but I don't really count it as an ennemy room =p) P-2 has very deliberate ennemies that work well together and with the arena, but there aren't ever nearly as many as in that room, and the ennemy variety is so high in that last room it's hard to figure out what to prioritize or how to approach it and you're likely to find at least one ennemy you struggle with. The dual wield power up helps but there is so much stuff... In violent at least where ennemies are really fast and don't leave much room between attacks it gets very chaotic and it's really hard to hide (unless you abuse the ledge a lot but that's no fun =p)

i know this is a month late, but with the book on the Earthmover it's implied that it's V1, your character, thinking it to themself while here. It's implied that right before the war ended, V1 and V2 were being created. Created specifically to destroy the Earthmovers. "This is the only way it should have ended." Is V1 basically thinking that the only way the war should have ended is with it taking down the Earthmovers in a blaze of glory.
