ULTRAKILL ACT 3 Violence Release

[@Amalf_XD]

It has only been released for 1 day but Violence is instantly my favorite layer.

Every layer in this game is almost always better than the last.

[@carpedm9846]

I really love the sequence at 15:00 as everything bounces off of minotaur's head as Merg cycles through weapons. "Nope. Nope. Not that. Nope." Until the rocket bounces back to him

[@actuallyafish.]

When those mannequins sprung to life at the start was the first time I heard actual fear out of Merg. Good game, Hakita. 👍

[@Merg]

It feels like that's the only time they behave exactly that way too, specifically to scare you

[@kristofvaradi1928]

Then search one of his Subnautica Below Zero videos, he went outside the map border on purpose to see what the creature looks like that appears when you go there. I won't lie if I say Merg had his life rolling before his eyes, he was so terrified

merg layer 7 funny moments.mp4 3:16 - Merg: *takes the red skull* Mannequins: *silently turn around* Merg: *noise of pure terror* I’ll put it back man! 10:00 - “I killed myself. Oh my god man” 15:35 - Actually this is weird, because this is the 0-2 tip I think. I have no idea why it’s in 7-1 of all levels. Maybe unintended? 34:37 *Falls into a pit* “Help. Help. Send help.” 36:18 *Merg glitches the game* “I’ve got a new friend!” *executes the friend* I’m so hyped for the next video! 7-3 and 7-4 are absolute bangers

[@kveller555]

About 15:35, that actually happened in a previous update, IIRC in the one that added the mid-level terminals. Since it's the text from the very first one you encounter, my guess is that it's the default text, and for whatever reason that one terminal in particular isn't coded to use that level's tip.

[@lowrngy]

@@kveller555 Interesting. So it is unintended. They’ll probably fix it in the upcoming patch

[@DamageMaximo]

The tip that trolled you was most likely a bug, because that tip is the same one as the first one you ever see in the beggining of the game, usually if a level has multiple terminals they show the same tip, so the second terminal defaulting to what I assume is the placeholder tip instead of the current level's tip is probably an overlook by the devs

[@remisimonetto6159]

That entrance to the second level introducing the war is so cool

[@budgiegryphon]

Minotaur's name is crossed out as a reference to the book House of Leaves, where every time the Minotaur is discussed its name is also crossed out. There's probably some deeper ingame lore to it as well though.

The Minotaur was made by Hell itself as a gift to Minos. Minos cast it away into Violence, disgusted at something so savage and ugly. The Minotaur rampages endlessly through the Garden of Forking Paths old and it's body failing, all to see the sky one last time

15:20 About that tip of the day. Pretty sure that it’s just Hakita accidentally forgetting to put the actual tip on the Minotaur boss terminal. Since the revolver hitscan one is the first tip you ever see in the game, it’s likely that it’s probably a placeholder. So it’s not really the game trying to trick you, it’s just a placeholder because Hakita was too busy putting jumpscares everywhere.

[@The-coolest-bone]

Fun fact: the reason they made everything white is to show the appearance of your violent acts causing the walls and floors to be stained in blood and stand out compared to the white backgrounds making everything seem more and more violent. TLDR: merg says you need to subscribe

After *suffering* this layer I wanted to see other people's reaction to it. Just one thing I wanted to say, the Minotaur, as well as the entry, is a reference to the book House of leaves. No spoilers, but that book is a wild ride

[@eduardodiaz9942]

Also, the Minotaur is the guardian of the circle of Violence in Dante's Inferno

I need to read the book, this is the second game that references it

Violence is V1's later and this line, really emphasize that "the world is your canvas, so take up the brush, and paint, the world red"

[@princessmaly]

I was confused by the initial videos but finally seeing 7-1 it makes so much sense, it's the damn mausoleum from the edge of the 6th circle, that's so damn clever. And putting oil platforms in the Phlegethon ala the valley of desolation, AND it's an active war zone? I love it. Every level this dude puts out is amazing.

[@doubleaabattery7562]

43:15 Guttertank's rockets work the same way as your own rockets. So not only can you ride them, but you can also shoot them to make them explode and even use magnets to make them home into enemies. Also, this is not practical at all and I do not recommend doing it, but if you freeze the Guttertank's rocket, ride it, turn it around and crash into him, it will always kill them regardless of how much health they have left.

[@deusphage9149]

My only regret in staying up so late last night to play Violence and its secrets and challenges to its completion is that i didnt wake up early enough to catch this the second it came out

[@battleshipconsumer]

Merg, Your KZbin channel has brought me loads of nostalgia. I used the have a friend named Aiden, Me and Aiden were friends for a while and he showed me what undertale and deltarune is. The amount of videos we spent watching on here is crazy. Me and Aiden were best friends for a while and played a bunch of crappy sans Roblox games. Unfortunately we are no longer friends but this KZbin channel feels like a bit of that friend ship forever capsulated in amber.

Now that we're seeing Act 3, there's one machine that I'm very eager for him to find, as a nod to another bit of work from Gianni Matragrano (the voice of Gabriel).

Some things about Violence layer lore: In 7-2 its confirmed to be based on the frist area of violence in dantes inferno, "Violence Against their Neighbours" those who were war criminals, war generals, governers and monarchs responsible for the war and war machine inventors, those would face its same fate in hell of the human soldiers they disposed in life In 7-1 is not confirmed but it may be based on dantes inferno third area of violence: "Violence against Nature, Art and God" were murders, vandals and those who destroyed religious statues were conditioned to this layer and area(This is what I think it is, considering the layers have dantes inferno as theyre base, but 7-2 area is pretty much confirmed)

[@thewanderers97]

7-3 is based on those who committed violence against themselves (suicide), who were turned into trees to live eternally rooted in Dantes Inferno

[@Marcelelias11]

The "Violence Against Nature, Art and God part" is 7-4 with the flames raining over the wasteland. 7-1 is the entryway to Violence, and not in the layer itself

Just a tip: you can parry landmines to heal and to also deal damage to enemies. Yes, you can ride the Guttertank rockets. If you ride them back to their sender, you instantly kill them. You can even attach a nailgun magnet to them so the rocket you’re riding will home onto the magnet.

[@peeeeeeeeeeaf]

23:19 this is just a theory so take this with a grain of salt, but the redacted text saying the name of the minotaurs creator is 2 words, the first with 4 characters and the second with 6. it seems pretty likely based on the red text the rest of the document is written in that this redacted text actually says “HELL ITSELF.” so thats Cool
