ULTRAKILL: Violence Lore

  • The layer of Violence has been released, with new lore waiting to be revealed. Let's go over them all individually before we put them together with everything else.
    This video took so long to make for two reasons:
    1. New information kept releasing during editing. For instance, dev commentary had a lot to say, but by the time it released I only had enough motivation to include it once.
    2. My own ADHD-caused executive dysfunction
    Regardless, it’s out and I’m happy. I hope the wait was worth it.

      This is my favourite aspect of Ultrakill aside from the gameplay: how it presents its story. Initially, it presents itself as just another game from the boomer shooter revival of the late 2010s a-la Dusk, albeit one with a unique mechanical depth and influence from the Stylish Action genre and games like Devil May Cry. But still, at first, the story is minimal, like most boomer shooters. You don’t need a reason to go shoot demons.
      But as you press on, and penetrate deeper into Hell, more and more of the game’s storytelling and thematic elements reveal themselves. And the narrative unfolds from ‘go shoot demon’ into something utterly captivating, unique, and beautifully terrifying.
      What I would give to live in a world where more games have Ultrakill’s level of skill, talent and passion behind them…

    Something I'd like to add: it's stated all the Earthmovers died out, thus ending the war. This means that something would've needed to revive them. Considering humanity didn't start hell expeditions until after the war, it makes no sense for them to have had access to Idols. To me, this means that Hell revived the Earthmovers, which is why they are so fleshy inside. Another thing is the 7-4 book. It has some serious lore implications. I believe that it is showing Hell's admiration to the Earthmovers. It also show's how the development of machines worked. Every machine was built to counter another, such as Guttertanks countering Guttermen. If this was always the case, that would mean that V1 was meant to counter the Earthmovers, as it was still in development by the time the war ended. The only machine it could've countered in that case would be the Earthmover. Also, it states that "The pages of the book are blank", and the texture itself shows no text on the pages. This means that it would be some force, likely Hell, talking directly to V1 about this.

      As the other reply stated, Hakita all but confirmed that every other machine (except probably the gutterman but that's just speculation) has guts inside it. My theory is that the idols serve as the shield generator in order to pick up the slack left by the absence of solar energy, allowing them to function without needing sunlight. Also since blood is essentially just liquid soul, that makes machines technically living things according to who or whatever chooses what is alive enough to go to the afterlife, allowing them to be sent to hell to be punishmed for their violence.

    My biggest theory regarding the Minotaur is that the In-Game Terminals are responsible for the names being crossed out.
    The Terminal Entry at the End of P-2 explains the symbiotic relationship that the Terminals form with the machines, particularly how the terminals will asses the entertainment value of recorded battles of the machines. I like to believe (and this could be a stretch) that the in-game Style Meter, and not just the Post-Game ranking results, are able to exist via the Terminals. By proxy, the rest of the HUD would be included, such as the boss bar. Hakita has mentioned before that the enemies in Ultrakill have very blunt names. Hakita has said quote "it's as if something, such as a machine, looked at the being in question, and was like 'this looks like a mannequin' and thus it is called a mannequin."
    The terminals log information regarding entities that machines encounter in hell, ways to combat them, and general background behind them. Recording and providing this information for the machine would increase the chances of the machine recording battles of higher entertainment value, and thus curing the terminals of their boredom.
    With that in mind, we can come to the conclusion that the terminals do not want V1 (and other machines) to have information regarding the Minotaur. My best guess as to why would entertain the idea that the censored boxes for the sculptor of the Minotaur do, in fact, read 'Hell itself.' Perhaps the terminals do not want machines to gain an understanding of hell's true nature, as that could lead to the destruction of hell and the end of not only the Terminal's source of entertainment but their existence as well.

      my personal theory is that because minos was scared shitless by the minotaur and the embodiment of his past mistakes, he put in the garden of forking paths so nobody would have to see its grotesque appearance. minis simply wanted to ignore the minotaur and his reminders of his pass mistakes by crossing it out (hence its crossed out name)

    Every machine that's in hell is there because it was either sent there or it went down there for fuel, except for the earthmovers. Not only are they huge, but the terminal states that they all died on the surface, so how/why are they in hell? I like to think that with all the blood that went into powering them (as well as the brain), hell considered them to be living things (which would explain the use of the word "died" instead of "stopped working" or something.) and thus, they were brought down there like a soul would.

      Have you considered that perhaps hell simply constructed them in the violence layer? Hell has already modified husks with robotic parts, as well as teleport machines around, so it stands to reason that hell would simply construct new earthmovers to sustain the war within the violence layer.

  • @yusharider
    @yusharider 5 месяцев назад +167

    One question that has been on my mind for a while now is how did the machines kill the vast majority of hells population so fast. Like we're talking about a huge fraction of not just earth's population, but every human ever. That's a logistical feat that should take years, or even decades, but it seems to be more like a few hours or days. (Assuming the trajectory of swords machines and the V models is normal)
    Yet Gabriel straight up says every previous layer is completely baren. The earthmovers seem to answer that question pretty well. For me at least.
    Edit: I'm going under the assumption that many of the machines we fight are arriving places before V1 does. Granted the earthmovers, gutterman, sentries, ect are going significantly slower than V1. But the possibility that they arrived sooner is more than likely. Whether they went there willingly, or got dragged to specific layers remains to be seen.

      Act 2 and 3 take place in under 1 day (unless the final Gabriel fight is just his corpse or something). V1 was built more for speed, and I know hell is moving v1 around every time he uses an elevator, so I think v1 is just speed running through the small parts of hell he gets sent to, and because he's so fast he's just 2/3 layers ahead of every other machine out for blood.

      Also i believe the reason as to how hell died so fast is that the layers are definitely just alot bigger its jut the other machines are going through there while v1 is just going on his own route I mean Look at lust it litterally has a entire city so it only makes sense that the other layers are also massive
      Also yeah the whole teleporting thing would def speed that up
      Perhaps v1 is clearing the way in a sense,killing all the strong enemies which would make the machines basically just have free kills as now there's no Minotaur,hideous mass etc to slow them down leaving little to no competition in that layer

    Something interesting to note is regarding the symbol of the Cross through out Violence
    In 7-1 the first book you find says that it symbolizes the Tree of Life, which God planted to bring about life to his creations from the "nectar of it's fruit". This nectar most likely being blood. This implies that blood in this universe is more than just normal blood, it has supernatural life giving properties, which would make sense why it would be able to power up machines in the first place, but it also explains why beings like the Angels, Demons and the Prime Souls contain it even though they most likely don't need it to survive. It's more so their life force than anything
    This also brings the blood hungry trees in 7-3 a whole new light. While the Tree of Life gives blood and makes new life, the trees in 7-3 takes blood and makes new life, a perversion of what the Tree of Life represents
    Unrelated but in 7-4 there's a hidden book found within the city structure that has a blank book, but upon scanning it red text appears with Hell's manor of speaking praising and admiring what the Earthmovers represents and their ultimate fate. It seems the deeper in Hell u go, the more Hell itself communicates with you. What this could mean for us is uncertain...
    Also V1 is heavily implied to be created to counter the Earthmovers

    i swear by my left half of my right eye's retna that when i first read the lore entry for the minotaur its creator wasn't redacted it was daedalus. and i REALLY like the idea that daedalus built the minotour. imagine what sort of person he would need to be to build a horrendous monstrosity as some kind of sick and twisted "gift" for minos. it would parallel pretty well with violence as a whole since in the mythology daedalus built the labyrinth that traped the minotour (7-1) and ALSO also the minotour's hammer looks really similar to the flesh panopticon which would suggest daedalus also built the flesh prision which would ALSO ALSO also parallel with the myth since daedalus was imprisoned in his own creation!
    but the boxes dont align so i guess that's disproven...

    It's fun to think that whatever machine V1 and V2 are prototypes of was designed to kill Earthmovers. This is explained in the terminal logs when they say that each machine was designed to counter the last. V1 and V2 were never finished, however, because humanity made peace before they were out of R&D. This is further expounded upon in the dev stream because Hakita says that the HUD we see is the same as what V1 sees, and 7-4 is the first time we've seen new HUD elements added in a while. Hakita doesn't explicitly say that that's why (or at least I don't remember it being said), but it is very heavily implied by Hakita's explanation.

    Some things I have noted about the different enemies.
    The Minotaur seems to have a reverse-centaur bodyplan of sorts, with its hind limbs being human legs, its mid-limbs being human arms, and its front limbs and head being bull parts. Like how a centaur is a horse body with a human torso sticking out where its neck should be, so this minotaur is a grotesque human body with a bull sticking out where its neck should be. Also, I doubt that the Minotaur was created for Minos by Hell Itself, if only because the lore entry implies that its creator made the Minotaur as a genuine attempt of goodwill to curry favor with Minos, and they just completely missed the mark. Doesn't really sound like Hell's MO, tbh.
    The existence of the Guttermen and tanks, and the Earthmovers in the Circle of Violence, as well as the fact that the Mannequins are explicitly inspired by the Guttermen, implies that these specific machines arrived in Hell even before V1, who is supposed to be more or less the first machine to break into Hell. And this implies that the Guttermen are considered extensions of their blood-slaves, and that the Earthmovers are considered extensions of whatever humans went into the wetware components of their construction, and thus these machines are considered extensions of the human souls that are being punished in hell. The Guttermen and Earthmovers are themselves sinners stuck in the circle of Violence.

  • @Gsn1vy
    @Gsn1vy 5 месяцев назад +8

    about the minotaur and it's creation, i find it highly unlikely that a prime soul candidate will come from it
    first of all, both prime souls have been built up heavily in their layer of origin, and then promptly never mentioned either before or after their layer. minos had the whole corpse thing and what not, and sisyphus had the insurrectionist fight to keep that name in your head. Mr. 4 Blocks and 6 More has like nothing attached to them by name
    however, what makes this even less likely is when you take into consideration the reasoning something would have to make a demon
    machines are off the table because they are 100% not in hell at this point
    angels don't really wanna do ANYTHING with hell, much less make a demon from it's mass
    other demons are far too stupid to consider creating something, primarily operating on instinct and are very hostile, though i will say that mannequins are an interesting exception, being able to make more of themselves and all
    finally, husks are highly unlikely to want to create their own tormentor outside of doing it by accident, as shown with the ferrymen and idols
    the only thing at the moment that we have definite evidence towards *wanting* to make a demon is hell itself, which is cruel enough to make a monument to minos' mistakes and then give it as a gift
    but those are kinda just my thoughts, perhaps this will be all wrong once we get to fraud. who knows

    4:08 There are quite a few different mythological kings that could fit here. King Nimrod and a couple others could definitely fit, but I think that the most likely option would be King Caesar, AKA Julius Caesar. Though not a player in Dante's Inferno directly, Caesar is indirectly mentioned through the presence of Cassius and Brutus, his betrayers, in the layer of Treachery, and given that both of the previous Prime Souls were historical kings of massive power and influence, it would make sense that Caesar, the most famous Roman hierarch and arguably one of the most famous historical rulers of all time, would be the way to up the ante from Sisyphus. Plus, given that if he IS the next Prime Soul, he'd most likely reside in Treachery, which would be a fittingly cruel punishment by Hell to keep Caesar in the same layer as his betrayers, tormented by their presence for all eternity. Additionally, the creation of the Minotaur as a gift to Minos would fit Caesar's character perfectly. The Roman Empire appropriated the religion and mythology of the Greeks, and given that the story of Daedalus, Theseus, and the Minotaur is a GREEK story, it would make sense for Caesar to try and give respect to Minos by misinterpreting the story and gifting him a construction that represents his history, not understanding how someone might want to forget their dark past.

      Blood is in the Earthmover because it, too, is fueled by blood. It is the same as all other machines, only larger.
      It was mentioned in other machine’s entries that Hell Energy can be artificially added onto their capabilities, like the Mindflayer or the Drone, so perhaps a similar deal is applies to the Earthmover’s Defense Matrix using Hell Energy. The Idols in the Brain fight must be Hell’s doing though.

      The reason I thought that hell had an influence on the earthmovers' large blood supply was that it was stated that the earthmover could not run soly on blood and needed solar panels for the extra energy. However, after the long night, all earthmovers died one by one. One of the theories for humanities extinction was hell spreading to the earth's surface and wiping all our life, which can be seen from enemies being teleported in the prelude. And the fact that multiple earthmovers are alive and the fact that a machine that big can reach all the way to violence means that hell may have influenced them in more ways than just the idols.

    I also belive that the cross out section in the Minotaur's terminal is Hell Itself, not King something something third prime soul.
    Furthermore, but this is more of a theory of mine, i like to think that Hell and Lucifer are now one and the same. After Lucifer fell from Heaven, with God's light removed from him, he made a desperate attempt to survive by merging with Hell. At the time, Hell was alive, but more of a mindless eldritch beast with no thoughts, driven only by instinct. But after Lucifer merged with it, it became sentient and mantained the mind of the angel, thus his ability to speak/write with the red text. At the end of 9-2, we fight Hell Itself, or rather his heart, Lucifer, and after his defeat all of Hell starts to crumble

The same thing happened with the book on the Earthmover, all the pages are canonically blank when we pick it up, yet red text still appears again. Hell is directly communicating with V1, and I bet these will become more frequent and intense the further down we go....
    Another thing of note is in the labyrinth, when we pick up the book, it's stated that most of the text is incomprehensible. Could this also be Hell's doing?
