Sorry for the discord pings! And sorry for this maybe being a bit too fast to follow, the S rank time requirement is very strict when you're trying to go for all secrets at once. Also, trying something different - actually resetting my save for a level before playing it so the secrets are full visibility? That's nifty at least, right? Here's timestamps, since some of these are practically "blink and you'll miss them". 0:07 - Secret #1 0:52 - Secret #2 1:39 - I think this is technically Secret #4? 2:07 - Likewise, Secret #3? 3:50 - Secret #5, yes this dual wield orb counts as a secret it caused me so much pain because nothing about it signifies it's a secret on replay only first time through
Two tips for further saving time on this level; one, you can grab and set skulls with Whiplash, so if you hold the R key long enough, you can actually set the skulls at the end from each wing of the temple. Two, if you stand on the glass panels of the right wing after setting the second skull, the Insurrectionist will try to jump on you, break through the glass, and be instantly killed by the bottomless pit
Honestly, I didn't realize that holding the Whiplash was part of its design before recording 4-4. The tutorial didn't show up for me on my first playthrough of the level, and the only thing I knew from a peek in the discord was that it was assigned to R. I probably would've done that if I had known it was an option.
@@capjay45 There is a total of 72 enemies, but you only need 69 to get S-Rank, as three enemies count as secret enemies that aren’t necessary (The Cerberus outside the first red orb and the two Malicious Faces guarding the second one). So Hakita is still a troll lol
Given the generous S-time limits for 4-1, 4-3, and 4-4, I'm not convinced the time on 4-2 is actually right. This level is brutal to get an S for time on.
Yeah, it feels out of place compared to just about every other level ingame. Even doing all secrets I’m usually beating the time requirement by a considerable amount of time for other levels and don’t have to actively try for S rank, but here I really had to rush through to beat it.
The majority of levels have a similar time limit, but they are faster to complete, so there’s lots of room. GDTS, on the other hand, is pretty long with all the mandatory arenas, kills, and the boss, so that time counter cuts it really close. Even if it is shorter, I like the challenge, as there are never really enough levels where you feel pressed to finish quickly IMO.
@@bumblegoot1139I agree, challanges like this gets to be THE thing we get to talk and cherish about in the community. A little variaition in difficulty is good.
Reading all of these comments, it's encouraging to know that it's not just me that finds this stage a the worst stage to P-Rank in Act II. It sucks too, because I actually like this stage on it's own. It's just that fuck that timer.
when i p-ranked this level, i thought that the time limit was 4:30 and not 4:40 so for a moment i was so panicked thinking i missed the time by .077 seconds
Also the moon. There is a moon shaped item where the orb that was required to press the Malicious Face button. Take that and put it on the pedestal on the top of the building. Now it's safe to walk on sand
Did a separate video showcasing that. No way to make the time requirement for S rank with it and every other secret (for the purposes of these videos, “secrets” is pretty much exclusively the orbs), unfortunately.
@@EpicTkoWkoI just did p rank with the secret level thing lol you can use the secret encounters to get enough kills and so you don't need to fight the insurrectionest
I'm currently getting P rank on every stage and this is the hardest one out of all of them. Timer is so strict. Was wondering if there was some trick to it but no just gotta get good I guess
screw this level in particular, just to p rank this i had to learn to fluently use the slam storage dash, crouch dashing in general, and a lot of patience... i was barely able to do it with minor assists on cuz I've been on it for like 2 hours, i once even got extremely close - 4:42, just 2 seconds off the S rank, like holy shit
easier way to defeat the insurrectionist VERY VERY fast: (at the cost of getting no style from it (if you dont try) first get the whiplash (earned at 4-4) get the blue skull first, break the glass and whiplash it over to its spot, then go to the red skull and whiplash it to its spot. stand on the glass in front of where you get the pedestal after the insurrectionist is spawning. keep looking up until you see him about to stomp you then move out of the way and you won.
me seeing how my nearest attempt at a P-Rank on 4-2 is thrown out of the window due to the timer (i am know debating if this is even worth it anymore):
I managed to P rank this second try (with only 2 seconds to spare). by using the whipshot to place the blue and red skulls from afar. Do blue first, then red, then stand on the glass and let the insurrectionist fall down the hole. Then use a charged shotgun blast to help you get to the exit door fast.
God did i underestimate myself when i first p ranked this level i read 4:43 knowing the s rank time was 4:40 and i was so sad but i misread it and it said 3:43 i was so relieved lol.
i honestly think the cerberus are the worst thing ever on this map, since all that appear are in open air, on the middle of that absurdly exaggerated yellow hue (don't get me wrong, the level itself looks great, but christ it's an actual eyesore to look at for too long), and the fact that all the explosions and cerberus attacks are also bright yellow, pair that with the fact that all of them are scripted to get sanded, shining bright yellow on an open, vast, bright yellow area, really makes this map an actual headache to complete, let alone rush it to get the tight P-rank timing
I think the hardest part of getting the time limit is ending the fights as fast as possible with all the enemies at both skulls. It’s very overwhelming and hard to figure out how to do it. Just got my record for it at like 4:49ish my fastest but still more work to do lol.
I keep ending on about 54 kills even though I'm pretty sure I'm playing through all the encounters. Watched the video over a few times and cant find any encounters I miss, anyone else have this?
i fucking hate p ranking this level even tho that i think this level quite good but man the sand,the lock on the heal,the time,the enimes just make this level is the worst to p rank it
The lack of blood is complete bullshit, as is the timer. Wtf even is the fight in the room on the left?? Every enemy appears, and gets sand bombed instantly. Bye-bye core game mechanic!
someone cant get p-rank on a level on left, you can kill enemies before they get sand bombed if yorue low on health after the two cerberus' which might help you. other than that idk what to tell you

Killing minos prime is easier than p-ranking this level
True
Agree
P ranking pianos was easier for me than this levels p rank
not even an exaggeration at all lol ive been trying to p rank this for ages and it's fucking torture

I totally cheesed the Insurrectionist for my P rank on this level. There is no shame in doing that.
Seeing v1 wielding 4 weapons at once, is strange but at the same time cool and effective.

Have about 30 hours in ULTRAKILL, and after multiple hours of trying I finally got my 4-2 P rank on violent
this makes my palms and keyboard sweat just by watching
i hate this level so much

every time, I end up getting 5 minutes, or 4:47, or something like that. even without all secrets, this is infuriating.

video is great but this level have the biggest secret in ultrakill
the longest thing i see was the style point becoming higher

Took me about an hour to P-rank this. The time limit is insanely tight.
im gonna have an aneurysm bc of this fucking level...
