    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.

      Incase anyone missed it, there's a hidden poem written by a gutterman, thanking its "battery" and calling the person its "mother". It fights so that it can find another blood source to power itself, and then frees it's mother by unhooking them and finally killing them. Very moving poem. I know I shittily summarized it but y'all should find it in 7-2 and read it yourselves if you haven't

    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.

      But someone, _some thing_ told them to start killing again. And so they did.

    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.

    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!

    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.

    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
      @blazefactor6849 10 месяцев назад +3

      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.

    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) ♥

    "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

    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

      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.

    Just opened the video, wanna say before it starts that I am SO excited to see his reactions, ESPECIALLY Violence layer. I commented on the last video and I've been waiting for this! 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."

    @Ghost-rr8ht 10 месяцев назад +3

    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.
