Quick note about Panopticon and Pisyphus: - You can stand on top of the Panopticon during its mortar strike attack and be completely fine so long as you aren't directly hit by a projectile. - Parrying Pisyphus refills your stamina as well as your health. You need to consistently parry Pisyphus if you want to have enough stamina to dodge his attacks (or slide spam lmao).

[@catapus8351]

Actually the update made it so parrying in general refills your stamina

[@dr.consumerock6798]

I beat Sisyphus without a single parry. I died 988 times tho, but I still did it!

Is stamina refill still broken? I gave up on P ranking this asshole because people where like "Oh, just parry to refill stamina and abuse I frames, its easy bruh" and I spent like 10 attempts just exhausting my stamina and going for the parry and it refilled my bar may be once.

Sisyphus rally leans into the phrase “A man with nothing to lose is a dangerous one.”

[@General_C]

Pro tip for the Blood Tunnel: Use Sharpshooter (I used the Slab personally) and blow up Maurice's projectiles for a LOT more damage. It's way more consistent than a Core Nuke at killing the Virtues in Room 1 and Sentries in Room 2, AND it can actually damage Maurice! You'll have to wait a brief second for the projectiles to line up, but it's WAYYYYYY better than a Core Nuke at clearing the room.

Remembering that lore wise hell is alive, i still want p-3 to have hell itself as the fight before the prime soul.

[@spoonaddict8805]

I just really hope that they might introduce a ultrakillified version of Able form the Kain and Able story. A version of Able who has essentially spent enough time in his immortal life contemplating existence, perspectives of every party involved in his punishment, what is happening currently and what else. Maybe he understands that god regrets much of what he has done, maybe he still contemplates why he left, but when you come around his like "you literally do this to bathe in blood, perish". Would be cool if that were to happen

[@shapshapshapshap2829]

You got them switched up. Cain was the the one who murdered Abel

[@jjba_fan3113]

Well, It would make sense if we were trapped in Hell. Now that we slaughtered everything, there is no blood which means no more fuel. So we then would either go after the Heavens or forever be trapped in the Inferno where you will be forever doomed to nothingness as nothing remains thanks to your genocide.

[@LowIntSpecimen]

Don't worry, V1 won't be stuck alone for all eternity. They'll probably just run out of blood eventually and shut down. Pain.

[@StickBreightley]

The plot of this game is “You’re killing the afterlife because you ran out of things to kill on earth” how could that possibly have a happy ending

[@LzeniX]

Worry not, there’s still a possibility of Purgatory and Heaven to be Purge

[@lolrus5555]

you got the 4th Testament a bit wrong. The 3rd Testament's narration suddenly losing it's all-caps text towards the end at '...and now, I can no longer unmake it' generally gives off the impression that God created Hell in an instance of frustration with his repeated failures to create a human without free will, and was subsequently horrified both with what he created and himself when the weight of what he did sank in. It's generally implied that he was housing a lot of guilt up to the point Lucifer asked him that question. The 4th Testament generally shows that God just horrified himself further when he cast Lucifer into Hell in a moment of terror.

Having also listened to a small amount of Keygen Church’s music on Spotify, I can confirm that some tracks sound “muddy” as you describe. I’m not sure of the actual cause, but my guess is that it’s a combination of the so-called “chainsaw guitars”, as the community has dubbed them, the foot pedals (low notes) of the pipe organ, and the frequent and consistently fast use of drums (in particular, the double bass pedals on the kick drum) being the instruments used most of the time. As far as I’m able to tell, the only musical parts of his songs that are firmly in the Mid-Range or Treble pitches are the choir and piano (and even then, a good portion of the piano’s notes are on the lower-pitched octaves). Weirdly enough, I personally think that Keygen Church’s music sounds much muddier in-game than outside it.

[@levibruner7553]

On the subject of V1 diving into hell just to collect blood: I think V1 was a result of God wanting hell gone. If you read the lore at the end of each secret level, you find out that God regrets creating hell but has not the power to unmake it. What better way to destroy hell than letting an ADHD machine with severe bloodlust rip and tear through every layer of it? My theory is that God inspired man to create V1 for the express purpose of destroying hell.

A quick correction because I haven’t seen anyone else mention it yet: What you’re describing at 5:49 are parallel walls, not perpendicular. “Perpendicular” is the term for two lines which are positioned in such a way that they form a 90° angle where they meet. “Parallel” is the term for when they’re positioned at the same angle and will never meet.

Okay so this video made me think of what the next prime soul would be, and I came up with a theory There’s an obvious pattern in the naming schemes of the songs for the prime souls, Minos being Order, Sisyphus being War, and when I think of what would come next, my first thought is “Logic”, and I began looking at Greek mythology figures, and discovered Daedalus, the inventor of the Labyrinth, who was imprisoned inside the Labyrinth he made by King Minos, so an obvious connection there So Daedalus is a Greek inventor, that designed the Labyrinth to contain the Minotaur, only to be imprisoned in the labyrinth himself by King Minos, so what if Daedalus was essentially the architect for the Lust layer, building the cities, only to be forced by Heaven to build the Flesh Prison and Panopticon, only to be imprisoned himself in his own creation, the Flesh Labyrinth It’d fit the story of Daedalus, essentially imprisoned by Minos by helping him, and would explain the Prison and Panopticon

Man, I fucking loved P-2. Tenebre Rosso Sangue is undoubtedly the best soundtrack I've heard in game, with a smooth and sick transition between calm and combat. Shame Hakita decided to have that stupid boss fight at the end of the level. Really killed the vibe. Other than that, level's perfect. 10/10. This isn't a meme btw. I genuinely love this soundtrack and this level, even the bits I bashed on.

[@drawdenella7365]

Wait, does the revolver add increased momentum dependent on the direction your looking because if so staring at the ground just got a lot more appealing 😂

[@chysavrc.3643]

I wonder what act 3 will be like. Hakita just released a new soundtrack and it sounds sad, lonely, dark. V1 is slowly killing everything which hell stands for. Slowly killing all of the important people that reside in hell. But for what cause? I also believe that V1’s motive is far greater than just blood. And Lucifer prime sounds like the final prime boss to me. We’ll see. It’s also sad that V1 will most likely kill Gabriel at the end of act 3. There will be nothing left in hell, it’ll feel lonely. But I also feel like God will return to thank V1 or to reveal something big about V1. We’ll see.

[@randompurpleslime8963]

Personally I have a theory v1 perhaps has some sort of divine power as even god could not kill hell so perhaps in a hail mary of sorts he gave v1 slight divine power We also know it's the terminals that are leading machines into hell and having them fight for thier entertainment so while yes blood is thier main reason they also have a secondary reason of basically being hypnotised by the terminals Plus it also seems the machines are kinda stupid In The fact they want blood and solely blood as there goal was to always harvest blood,they have no other goals other than the goals humans gave them before and after the war As it seems the universe is going to end my theory is well its all over,hell is dead,earth is long gone and probably the only bastion of hope left is heaven as it goes through reforms Gabriel most certainly will die but the possibility of him becoming a prime soul is there he has enough determination,he has alot of willpower,he's powerful etc and well he's dying Sorry if this is long 5:07
