Opera Singer Plays Ultrakill Layer 6 and 7

Wow! catching up to Ultrakill was not on my bingo card for 2024 but I'm really happy I did. It has been fun to playthrough casually and I'm really looking forward to more :)

1:09:00 I find it actually beautiful that Marco feels the emotion in this song while fighting the Gutterman and literally gets the whole character and its role in the grand scheme of things just by Hakita's expert-level music design. The Gutterman literally doesn't want to do this anymore, at least the guy inside of him doesn't. It just mindlessly autopilots and shoots at you because that's what it was programmed to do, while the guy in the back is used a battery and kept in eternal agony until you finally put him down. He's quite possibly one of the only enemies in this game that would be doing them a service to kill.

Thing is, they did stop, when the war ended. Humanitys death came all of a sudden that almost drowned the ferryman in Wrath, but before that humanity thrived enough to build the “elevators” in hell, along with the terminals, so the machines did stop at some point after the war. But someone, _some thing_ told them to start killing again. And so they did.

In the second fight against Gabriel, he is full of "perfect hatred" because he lost to you the first time. Upon returning to the council after the first fight, he was essentially re-indoctrinated into thinking his divine power (God's Light) is impossible to defeat, and he squandered it against you in the first fight. He doesn't understand how he lost against a mere object. He's frustrated. During the first half of the second fight, Gabriel is screaming insults along the lines of "I can't believe I lost to you" However, during the second half he starts to enjoy the fight. He realizes that "God's Light" can be defeated, and you are capable of doing so. The entire doctrine he believed in has been broken, and after the fight he takes some time to understand what that means for him. Then he does something drastic.

[@tachrayonic2982]

Who wants more Lore from Dante's Inferno? The Sixth Layer of Heresy is within the City of Dis, which resembles fiery red Mosques. Heretics, who speak against the word of God are punished here, trapped in flaming tombs. Not much to say about Ultrakill here, it was very Red. The Seventh Layer, Violence is guarded by the Minotaur. It is then divided into three rings. The First Ring, representing Violence against Neighbors/Others, is for Murderers, War-makers, Plunderers, Tyrants, etc. They are immersed in Phlegethon, a river of boiling blood and fire, while Centaurs patrol and fire arrows at anyone who emerged out of the river higher than they are allowed. The Second Ring, representing Violence against Self, is for those who attempted to take their own lives. They are transformed into gnarled, thorny trees, fed upon by harpies. They are unable to move, and yet feel pain when they are damaged. Unique among the dead, these souls will not be corporeally resurrected after The Final Judgement. The Third Ring, representing Violence against God, Art and Nature. The great plane of Burning Sand, scorched by great flakes of flame slowly falling from they sky. The Blasphemers, Sodomites and Usurers (Violent against God, Nature and Art respectively) are faced with this unbearing desert for eternity. Encountering this layer in Ultrakill is what got me looking into Dante's Inferno. You can clearly feel the three rings of Violence in the game, Violence against Others, Self, then God/Nature. The Minotaur is the guardian of the Labrynth in the Garden of Forked Paths. You missed the final words in the book there: "The World is your Canvas ... So pick up your Brush ... And Paint ... The World ... RED" The Phlegethon takes to the side in Light up the Night, instead focusing on perpetual war between the machines. In No Sound, No Memory, the enemies can be seen fighting each other amidst the forest of gnarled trees. And you take on the 1000-THR in Like Antennas to Heaven. The Pinnacle of the Great War that scorched the Earth, and the machine you were seemingly designed to defeat. If you pay close attention, you can see another 1000-THR off in the distance engaged in combat with the one you are infiltrating. They periodically fire colossal bolts of electrical energy between each other, blocking them with some form of energy shielding.

[@Shadoenix]

Another great playthrough! Loved it from the first second. In case you still want more Ultrakill, there's more levels such as the secret missions (requiring some exploration and puzzle-solving... sometimes literally) and Prime Sanctums (that require a P-rank on every level). If you're not up for playing them, there's plenty of videos out there of others doing it themselves. Fraud and Treachery are coming soon, hopefully this year, so it is not the end. I hope to see your playthrough of them too, and thanks for playing!

[@MarguinHuN]

If it comes to the release of Fraud and Treachery, I'd say: I'd wait another year, maybe next august or july to let hakita and the team perfectly flesh out all ideas and stuff regarding the last 2 layers, the new alt weapon, all the secret missions, the last prime sanctum, and last but not least, the new difficulties, and I'll be waiting, looking forward how gloriously they close this early access game to a full fleshed out game, which made a huge name itself among the indie titles.

[@tuvergalarga6144]

Fraud and treachery are not coming this year That sounds too hopeful

[@sorenfarley]

[@Chip2686]

Fun fact, if you stand near any of the posing mannequins you can hear them breathing.

[@RustyDroid]

And the sounds the trees in 7-3 are actually distorted screaming. That's the forest of the suicides as in Dante's Inferno.

[@TheSheepDoom]

1:31:05 I dont know if someone commented this before, but thats actually the suicide woods in the divine comedy. Even if they did, it goes deeper. In the text of the mannequins it says that the ones who escaped the laberinth in the violence layer (Or were close to) ended up still, this is a reference to them becoming trees. So yeah, all rhis time youve fed the trees blood, doing them a favor, as the book in the first level said , its part of their religion, so they ask you to feed them specifically that, blood. "Feed us and we'll grow" their cult will grow. Later, in the 4th level, the trees grow upwards and trap the Earthmover, holding it in place, so yeah, they return yoj the favor, even as still trees.

[@CalicoThoughts]

[@magnus2705]

You should really check out the secret missions in this game! They added such a charming aspect to the game that really made me fall in love with the game on my first playthrough. The puzzles are super rewarding to solve and there's only really one "combat" secret level so they're not a challenge/hassle or annoying to complete at all in terms of combat because the only time you have to deal with that is when you're finding the secret mission entrance. A lot of the most memorable moments in the game happen during these missions and I think it could be super fun to see you check them out! (or you could do so in your own time of course in case you don't want to publish that experience) ♥

[@MrStsveins]

I honestly don't think Gabriel is particularly evil here. If you read the lore you can see he shows mercy to several of the damned like the ferryman and now that god has vanished he is forced to be a punisher of the wicked, something he most probably hates doing but does it anyway out of duty but no doubt feels a lot of doubt and guilt for the torment that is being put upon the suffering. Then the machine enters and for the first time in his existence he is actually challenged and defeated. Which forces him to stop and take a look at himself and his place in the world which initially brings anger but then gratitude. Anyway thanks for coming to my ted talk!!

[@blazefactor6849]

Honestly, I'm not sure he's forced to be a punisher of the wicked, but is instead ignorant of the damage that he's causing. Fundamentally, Gabriel believed that his purging and murder was the will of God, the being he worships, and as such, he obeyed without questioning. It's not evil, just ignorance driven by religious manipulation.

[@SoulsBebop]

Just wanted to let you know Marco, there is an actual description for the Minotaur. It’s just tucked away at the bottom.

[@sircuffington]

"How many had he killed? Had he ever thought to count? How much cruelty did he embody... and to what end? How many did he condemn to hell and who did it benefit..?" I find this introspection by Gabriel so interesting because he could be talking about V1 (you), but he could just as easily be talking about himself or even God. All three had shown cruelty, and all killed others in vain. Sentencing to hell or just assisting? The fact that Gabriel never mentions V1 as a he, but only as a machine or a thing supports this heavily.

[@Short_Potato]

It would be pretty weird for him to be referring to someone else in his *introspective* scene, so Gabriel is definitely talking about himself.

[@Greglag_Goose]

To elaborate on the crosses in 7-1, they actually don't have the same meaning as they do in typical Christianity. Basically, they're just meant to be a very crude depiction of a tree, specifically the tree of life. Hakita and the dev team didn't want crosses in at first, but then realized Gabriel has a huge one on his head, so they had to come up with a meaning for it

[@addison_v_ertisement1678]

Why didn't they want crosses for it?

[@Jockster109]

​@@addison_v_ertisement1678 Ultrakill, while somewhat based on Dante's inferno, isn't really christian lorewise. No mention of Jesus is made, and all parallels to actual Abrahamic faiths are old testament related, and even then they aren't often specific references to abrahamic theology. Christian cosses wouldn't really make sense in ultrakill's hell, as the context of Jesus' crucifixation isn't relevent to the ingame kingdom of heaven.

Excited to see what happens, reactions, etc. I'll edit this with my thoughts at the end :D 7-1 EDITS: 48:32 was worth EVERY second of the wait lol. 49:38, the blood on white is actually exactly what Hakita was going for when he made the Violence Layer predominantly white! 1:05:25 Bull of Hell (The Minotaur's theme) actually has an Aztec Death Whistle played by Mandalore Herrington (MandaloreGaming) that you can hear here! 1:05:45 BEAUTIFUL foreshadowing, literally perfect lol. 7-2 EDITS: 1:08:07 Scroll down :). 1:09:03 Surprisingly accurate guess on the Gutterman, lore, just a bit off with who specifically is being forced to do something they don't wanna do. 1:09:41 I love seeing people's genuine reactions to moments like this. You've been conditioned to think that the Violence Layer is all going to be similar to 7-1, and even walking into 7-2 you still have that same sense, until those doors open and everything changes. You've just been in the Labyrinth at the edge of the Violence layer, now you're in the actual layer and you're immediately thrown into a completely different, unsettling environment. Amazing work by Hakita, and I love Marco's genuine reactions to moments like this. Watching him do the level outside of the intended order was fun. 7-3 EDITS: He forgot the Gutterman terminal entry, but 1:28:58 tree jumpscare.1:35:15 This scared me lol, I hate mannequins! A little sad he didn't realized exactly what's happening in the big arena rooms. 7-4 EDITS: 1:38:16 The reaction to the reveal of the Earthmover is great, what I was hoping for! 1:42:53 Struggling to remember Maurice's name was really funny. Marco just tanking the flush pool because he's on harmless was hilarious! 1:50:20 the last second escape reaction was amazing, you can see the shock on his face, like "Oh, I was almost there when it exploded."

another lovely Ultrakill video... thank you so much for playing more of it!! this has been such a fun "series" to watch - as a "classical music enjoyer" (though, admittedly, i don't know much about the specifics of classical music in general, i must admit...) but especially as an Ultrakill player, this was so damn fun to see. i don't care at all that you chose to play on Harmless difficulty - it's there for a reason! your insights about the music, where it comes from, and what it makes you think about and *feel* - THAT'S what i'm really here for. anything else is secondary! this was a wonderful video, and i'm very glad you've continued to enjoy your experience with this beautifully bloody game. here's hoping layers 8 and 9 live up to this level of polish!

[@SupremeDalek225]

If you look in the controls there's an area to change your arm punches to be different buttons entirely so you can instantly punch with whatever arm you want instead of one button making you swap arms and you have to remember which one you're on, just in case you'd prefer that since the single button swapping can feel awkward at times.

[@Zagrilla01]

marco harmonizing with the music is honestly kind of relaxing despite the aggressive drums

[@crazygamecrafter8830]

23:33 marco hits a successful freezecharge

[@sky_0f_blue979]

13:17 "any eggs Benedict enjoyers in chat?" because it came up later: i thoroughly enjoy you going on tangents

[@sky_0f_blue979]

YOU ALMOST FIRST TRIED GAYBRIEL HOW OMG

[@XxIWINSTUFFxX]

I was waiting so patiently for that jumpscare. I knew that shit was coming and it still scared the fuck out of me

[@Ghost-rr8ht]

I just realized something The reason why 6-1's title is "Cry for the Weeper" and why its theme sounds sad is because of the people who got ended up in the layer Human souls started to fill Hell full and among those souls gets scorched in Heresy. Some, if not, many of those people who got in that layer were morally righteous and faithful people who were following the wrong belief, aka going pagan. That one part in the theme really sounds like its crying, as if the people who believed so hard in their moral belief are bawling because of the unfair suffereing they got in the end even though they have been kind and good back in Earth. Pair it with the droning music from the start, as Marco said, it's oppressing, like it's silencing the "sinners" of their despair of their situation, taking no heed of their thoughts and regrets. They once sought salvation, but the only way now is death

[@Kaimuze]

0:10 "should be pretty easy"

[@joshuaperkins4985]

Total miss play

[@DailyLGTNG]

just was about to eat and this popped up, made my whole day , youre such a cool and fun dude marco

[@null_02]

29:58 I LOVE HOW ACCURATE IS THIS DEATH

[@dhrumildave4221]

Love how we absolutely does 7 1 without any confusion of skulls and tunnels (which took me and my friend about 20-30 minutes roaming around like mad men because we cant grapple them from the doors they activate. And how he gets absolutely gets confused in 7-2 which is supposed to be a straightforward level with the payload there

[@Rena_tah1]

Thanks for this playthroughs! Im happy to see you having fun

[@a3.0001]

i wonder if he will ever p-rank the levels so he can fight minos and sisyphus, its perfectly fine to do it on your comfortable difficulty

[@ahb8648]

eh, it's a lot of effort for just two levels. I'd rather he approaches it in a way in which he's comfortable. If he's most interested in experiencing the music in its context, maybe he could review un-narrated gameplay of those levels?

[@DJ-Rose]

He said he probably wouldn't

[@vlad980]

​@@ahb8648 Nausea:

[@aether1284]

I would recommend before act 3 (if you havent already) you go and get the Alternate weapons in the game, love the vids, keep it up!

[@fumoaddict3526]

The Ultrakill 7-2 theme (Siren Song of the Dead) sounds at parts a bit like Border of Life from Touhou 7, I encourage you to check it out. i love how ultrakill can be one of the most insanely difficult and skill expressive games at higher difficulties and trying to perfect rank while simultaneously having easier difficulties that allow people to just experience the story and music

[@eduardodiaz9942]

Glad to see you've enjoyed your time with this game and had the chance to hear the tracks in their proper context. Let's see what Hakita cooks up for Fraud and Treachery

[@mrtank.youtube]

The part that was slightly major in altars of apostasy was actually a leitmotif to glory, the song that plays in the gluttony layer of act 1, because this is the layer you will fight Gabriel for the second time

[@juanrada9402]

0:07 words before tragedy.

[@DamageMaximo]

42:47 Bold of you to assume people didn't know this was classical music, even MORE BOLD OF YOU to assume people don't like classical music, people love classical music, me included.

[@tamary.leitmotiv]

the reactions are priceless on this playthrough ! congrats for completing Fraud !

[@trinityfusiondynamics]

no screenshake, low FOV, harmless mode. MY GUY. You stole the real experience from yourself!

[@MarcoMeatball]

Ya: throwing up

[@MrSluFa]

Mfw nausea

[@MarguinHuN]

fun fact: the music for gabriel's second fight, the finalized version of it was done before the update dropped by some hours, confirmed by Hakita. but even for a late finished music, it slaps and fits with gabriel in this state of the story

[@hell.yeah-]

honestly i believe 7-2 shouldve been designed a tad bit differently ive seen so many playthroughs of people playing half the level backwards and then getting stuck at the payload area because they dont have the cart

[@iStoleYourGreyBike]

Fun fact: in 7-3 in the big rooms the enemys figth themselfs until the only enemy left is the player. Fun fact Number 2: in 7-3 there is a earthmover looking down at the player it is visible especially when the red ligthting "strikes" ilumnating the sky. Fun fact Number 3: mainly visible in 7-4, the Eartmove has a city on its back. Fun fact Number 4: at the start of 7-4 the earthmover looks down to attack V1 letting its defense down resulting in it getting attacked by another earthmover in the distance

[@ravendiesel]

When another streamer completed all current levels with pistol only, people cried and complained about it, and then Hakita gave a chad response "It's a good thing none of you are designing Ultrakill or it would suck". So don't feel bad about playing on easy difficulty, just have fun. I'm happy that more people get to know Ultrakill and that's about it.

[@fxseni]

For ppl wondering what the song is for 6-1 "Cry for the weepers" its called Altars of Apostasy

[@Birbiest]

i love how he walks out of the elevator in layer 7-4 and sees earth mover '' Oh my fu-''

[@Grassik-Travka]

looks like slowmotion after playing brutal difficulty

[@andrewbalingasajr.2503]

The most chill ultrakill gameplay yet

[@Hankbob_Hillpants]

5:08 it was at this moment that V1 realized that he wasn't sent to hell to be punished, rather he was the punishment

[@Tisisrealnow]

Bro did not understand that BLOOD IS FUEL 😭 besides that one part this playthrough is pretty surprising! I know its on lenient but you managed to beat a lot of levels fairly well!

[@hoffees]

1:07:31 was genuinely the best minotaur kill I've ever seen

[@MinosPrimeOfficial]

I love how aggressive Gabriel 2's exclamations are in his first phase

[@minimum850]

Not sure if Marco noticed at all, but the enemies in 7-3 were infighting in the last 3 rooms! (That is, until he decided to hit everything)

[@ajdndbdjbdj]

I noticed you are playing on harmless difficulty I envy you, my dumb ego cant let me enjoy a single game without playing at the hardest diff

[@lavendermintyy]

"that isn't altars of apostasy" - song playing is altars of apostasy "this is altars of apostasy" - song playing is not altars of apostasy

[@Fishii444]

i absolutely lost it when marco didn't scroll down and read "THE WORLD RED."

[@leonoraarocho658]

You can thank me for getting you into this rabbit hole, Marco Polo.

[@domad-umburus]

Now we are waiting for Minos Prime boss fight /joke

[@interstellarskunkworks8283]

55:23 and here, everyone, we observe the instinctual desire of everyone who plays Ultrakill for more than an hour to shoot an enemy in the pinos.

[@SomeKindaSpy]

"It's too many slices!"that got me lol

[@moumdoh]

52:48 ”it’s like these people really don’t wanna be here you know.” Litterally the twisted bloody remains of souls who tried to escape the labyrinth. They’re still fully conscious, watching their bodies do to fellow sinners what hell has done to them.

[@BrickEnthuslast]

i love the part were he tries to lower the payload 800 times in a row lol

[@pyro_cat]

I fidn it interesting to watch somebody else play a game that I have personally gotten good at and just see what things that newer people do and think of.
