By any chance have you played Doom Eternal before playing ULTRAKILL? Because that might be the problem. If you are used to playing a normal video game like Doom, then playing ULTRAKILL in general is difficult. However, ULTRAKILL is not meant to be played like a normal fps game. You play as a vampiric Nikon that moves at Mach 4. In order to survive, you must be firing on all cylinders. Guns blazing. Getting up close and personal with your enemies. Also, play around in the sandbox. It helps to practice combos. Anyway, this game plays like how crack smells, but it goes harder than diamonds. I would strongly reccomend getting the full version if you can. It will be worth it, especially once development finishes. Edit: I'm sorry if my analogy at the beginning wasn't the best. The point I was trying to make is that trying to play it safe is unsustainable in a game like ultrakill.
@@connerredacted9432 Doesn't the demo not have sandbox mode? And if the demo was hard to no hit, just imagine the pain Shneepz went through no hitting P-2 lol
@@vicaros Firat of all, my reply was intended for @chancierbeet8915. I made the assumption that he stopped playing ultrakill because he was trying to avoid all damage (i.e. play it safe). But from what I understand (and personal experience), that's not the way ultrakill is meant to be played.
Even after Sisyphus being out, Minos still have a special place in my heart. His speech and attacks simply lives rent free in my mind to this day and I haven’t played Ultrakill in a while. Minos truly feels a one of kind boss, difficult like many others, but unique in his own and only way
so true, I missed the P-rank requirement for P-2 on Violent by 21 seconds and I actually just felt so down I didn't play the game for about a week@@bluedragonstudios7085
For me, learning Sisyphus Prime was so rewarding to master I remember learning you can basically parry everything and that's when it turned into a beautiful dance of countering, dodging, and feeling your heart pumping as WAR plays in your ears Best fight ever
ikr, the fact that you can borderline bear hug him the whole fight makes you feel like you're not this small little machine in comparison that wins solely off of wits and speed, but someone who's on par with this huge brute and you two are just going at it never had an fps game make me feel like this and i loved it.
finally someone understands how good of a character minos is, i literally end up tearing up a little thinking of his story while *that one section* of order plays Minos is the only one i truly regret killing.
Technically... Even Sisyphus. So angry at what the heaven is doing, he took matters into his own hands, waging war against the impossible. He knew, that Heaven are bunch of fanatics, unable to be reasoned with... cant wait for Gabriel Prime.... the final showdown, the power that killed those two beasts...
@@RaskaTheFurry Sisyphus fully deserved what he had coming to him. He knew this. It's why he convinced the souls in the Greed layer to rebel against the armies of Heaven despite it being unwinnable and a death sentence, the dude just wanted to defy Heaven in any way he could.
9:56 pairing this with the imagery of what lust’s inhabitants most likely witnessed as their ruler was struck down, observing the sheer agony and resentment that king minos most likely went though, actually makes me tear up
The Minos Prime - One the most perfect bosses in all FPS games history. When you just start fighting with him, you thinking "THATS IMPOSSIBILE". But after a 10 attemtps, you finnaly understand he actually warning what would be him next attack by saying something A after a more attempts, you finnaly understand how to beat him, and now its just time for practice I spent 131 attempts and 1.5 hour to beat him first time, i was fricking happy After a p ranking act 2, i come back to him, and on 5 attempt i P ranked him, i just feel how i become stronger, and how game now show me how i am strong. This boss is perfect. His music. His attacks. Even his history And we all know, the most main problem in Ultrakill world, its not dead humanity or Gabriel. Its V1. Its YOU
Personally i like how (unlike most videogame bosses) I never felt truly angry or frustrated against minos, every attempt I was getting better, and thats why I love ULTRAKILL, there’s practically no skill cap
I hope you can give this amazing deep dive for Sisyphus next. Sisyphus absolutely builds off Minos. And the themes of absurdism in his story resonate within the entirety of Ultrakill's story and themes. I am EAGER to see how you tackle The Indomitable Spirit, Sisyphus
I would be lying if i say that P bosses are just difficult. They are BEAUTIFUL. The lore, the music, the struggles and progress you make, truly a tastefully made and forged game Ultrakill is; the song tells you tragic(King Minos) and also badass(Sisyphus) stories, the gameplay tells you that you can be better than this. This game is a perfection of it's own.
There isn't a single boss theme I've heard that can somehow cram the entire tragedy of the characters backstory into it. The Requiem leitmotif in Order hit like a truck the first time I actually got a chance to listen to the OST (without pain and suffering in the background)
I don’t find the requiem motif to be all that saddening, it feels more energetic, positive. Like the song that plays whenever the tragic hero of a story is finally victorious. Of course we know this to be false.
bro minos is such a good boss, there isn’t any tricks or bullshit like another health bar or the boss heals or smth, the boss just has insane strength and once you kill it it’s over
Out of all of the of the small youtubers I seen, you have got to be the one who most deserves recognition. Keep making good content, we will all be ready to watch it. (also I beat p-1 my first time in like 20-30 attempts he isn't that bad to beat more so that he is hard to master.)
i think hakita managed to strike basically the perfect balance with P-1. It took me ~70 attempts my first time, and I know people who took considerably longer. but we all still feel that “theres no way this is possible” at the beginning, and then miraculously overcome it.
I mainly love just how FUN it feels to fight him. At first, it seems crazy and ridiculous. Then, you start relying on parries and it becomes the most fitting use of the metaphor "dance" I have ever experienced. After beating Sisyphus, you come back and pretty much P-rank him in at maximum 10 tries, which left me feeling utterly astonished. Truly an amazing boss.
Very good video! When I finally reached Minos' fight I was impressed at how difficult it was (even the flesh prison) but after I figured it out it was all just a matter of knowing his patterns
Never have I ever got mad at a hard boss, the first time I saw Gabriel's second phase I woo'd in excitement because I knew it would be such a great fight (I was right). this game is everything I wanted in a game and I'm happy that I played it. and king Minos/Minos prime is simply the biggest most delicious cherry on a cake I have ever seen.
I am personally more of a Sisyphus Prime fan. While Minos certainly set the stage for his larger, yellow counterpart, I found Sisyphus to be a boss that truly tested my endurance and critical thinking. He had a bit of a poor release due to lack of playtesting, but after his buff? He is *the* most replayable fight in the game for me. Plus, he had some banger quotes.
i will absolutely agree that he is the most replay able fight probably ever made, but i like minos because i love the way his character is written, and the fact that he was first. gameplay wise, sisyphus is probably better.
@@yrowe I think Sisyphus was just robbed out of a proper buildup. Ofc he wouldn't get a main campaign fight, but I do wish he was at least given more detail in ACT 2. Possibly some mentioning in Wrath could've been neat as well, given the futile struggle of the souls drowning in Styx's waters.
When I went for a P-Rank (which I now have) for P-1, I always left one eye alive so I could get off as much damage as I could as well as making sure the Railgun was recharged so I could nuke the new set of eyes.
ultrakill perfectly masters the level skill level every passing time you play the game you get stronger but ultrakill did it PERFECTLY first time beating minos prime was like I cant do this its too hard impossible but in the last try as i got stronger all the P ranks the last try was like leveling up the skill got from you suck to extremely high level like leveing 50 level ups from 1 level in a rpg i felt it and so my friend who beat minos too you dont just beat it once you beat it forever everytime you try after you beat it once(unless you havent played for a long time) you can beat it in little tries (1 or 2) right after P-1 I P ranked it in little to no tries
10;09 I think the song actually suits Minos more... I mean, he suffered all of that - unfair judgement, flesh prison, being tormented for unknown time... And then he gets killed by a piece of iron, failing to even help his kind.
As someone who isn't great at the game yet somehow made it to Minos, I'd like to say that "Die!" was the thing I feared most when fighting him since I wasn't familiar with his attacks.
I have ADHD and that one day, I drank 3 or 4 cups of coffee. I actually felt like flesh prison. All that aside, in terms of story it's Minos Prime (Fun fact: Minos actually got a microphage or whatever bacteria named after him because he's cool). If difficulty, yeah, it's Minos Prime. Don't know how to parry? Good luck on the first phase. No slab revolver? Good luck doing enough damage to him. Using slab marksman? You deserve Judgement in your face.
Every time one of my friends starts complaining about something I just say “Weak!” In the Minos voice and start complaining about a worse problem just to make them feel like their problems don’t matter
I love Minos Prime he's definitely my favorite boss in ULTRAKILL with Sisyphus Prime a close second. I love Minos Prime so much I P ranked P-1 only using my fist against Minos and just now I beat Minos Prime with force radiance on and then did it again fist only. God I love that boss so much
7:39 This is almost how it feels to be hit by Ganondorf's down-air Also, when the game is finished, we all want an option to spare Minos. I hope the devs give us that option
yeah i didnt even know he could do that, but when i was filming that he did that combo and i was like holy shit smash bros also yes i want a minos prime playable character that would be so damn cool
Minos is the best boss ever. Hes hard but not super hard, his move set is really good, he doesnt wear any clothes, and the music is fire. Minos could be pretty good as a smash bros character, the combo potential could be pretty good there
Ultrakill does such an incredible job at having the player feel like they tangibly got better. My first minos prime run was on standard and took 90 attempts, literally a week later I p-ranked him on violent. In that week I didn’t get some new op weapon, or grind some stat to destroy him. All I did was merely practice, and enough practice makes you feel overpowered in this game.
its the only game that ive played where you aren’t limited by your arsenal, but your skill and creativity, which is why its so damn cool and satisfying
I absolutely get what you mean, I went from just barely beating him on standard to be able to beat him just by punching only in a couple of weeks, its an amazing feeling tbh
I kind of had the suspense of the first playthrough ruined as I had already seen a lot about it. Hell flesh prison took longer for me but god damn is Minos fun as hell. That's why I'm purposefully avoiding as many spoilers as I can for sisyphus
I used to never play ultrakill, however I always wanted to play it, knowing how cool and good looking it is. One of the main factors were the voice acting and the characters. They just hooked me in. Dying was worth it hearing those "Die! Thy end is now!"
(spoilers) the "he didn't deserve it" part is really what makes me like Sisyphus less, instead od pure pain in ost we just hear anger, and it just doesn't hit as hard, i obviously rank P-2 as best level in Ultrakill, the ost is amazing, but the final boss... After Minos... Just no
Before seeing or watching this video. I've actually seen a video about speedrunners killing this boss.. Minos, in around a minute, complete with all S scores. And after watching this video, I have now understood just how hard it actually was to do make such an achievement, and how easy the speedrunners made it look like(especially to someone who hasn't played the game personally) to actually achieve such a thing.
Even though you realized that Minos is not the strongest opponent after meeting Sisyphus, he is by far the BEST boss. Sisyphus, meanwhile, was a brutal dictator Manipulating his people for war with heavеn. Sisyphus looks like a fat Cerberus, he showed himself to be an absolute antagonist, even Gabriel was not an absolute evil, he just followed orders. And Minos... Minos simply magnificent in every aspect
Tbf, Sisyphus was not pure evil either. Him and his people were all under a brutal oppression, far worse than what Minos and the Lust layer had went through. He was wise enough to know there would be no freedom from Hell, but he still fought, just to spite his slavers. Sisyphus is pure tenacity and determination, and while both him and his subjects would crumble after a thousand lifetimes of futile struggle, the king did not regret it either.
@@jimboanimations4041 Yeah, he isnt evil in the way that che guevara isnt evil. they’re just freedom fighters. The reason i praise minos so much though is he’s just the most stand out different character in ultrakill. He’s the only person with some honor left.
@@jimboanimations4041 Then I'm sorry (Maybe it's better explained in the book, but I haven't read it). And while Sisyphus saw in us (v1) As a light snack before dinner, Minos perceived us as a threat to all living things (yes, in fact we are evil) and if you don’t stop us, hell will die and paradise will die after it (well, this is purely my guess, After all, if the machine kills all living things in hell, then he will go further to look for blood)
@@1dontknown I honestly don't think Sisyphus truly saw us as a foe he could easily beat (despite the fact he took me around 100 attempts to finally win against), given his dialogue both when he reaches phase 2, and when he is killed. Sisyphus honestly seems like he is trying to encourage the machine to defeat him, or at least is just enjoying the fight regardless. Some theories state he knows of all of V1's victories and believes the machine may be able to succeed where he always failed, though we sadly don't have enough knowledge on Sisyphus to know. I really wish he had more buildup in ACT 2, just like how Minos was built up.
My goofy ah really thought that when I killed flesh prison I beat p-1. Me and my friend where there and we started celebrating, then we both realized that the boss was only half done.
I never questioned how good a person minos was, and when I p-ranked his fight, I was overwhelmed with joy as opposed to melancholy. P-ranking Pinos is my greatest achievement so far.

Minos Prime screaming "die" is a subtle nod to the fact that he is about to kill you
It’s just a reference to how he WILL beat you to death 125 times over on your first attempt

you get stronger
but ultrakill did it PERFECTLY
first time beating minos prime was like
I cant do this
its too hard
impossible
but in the last try
as i got stronger
all the P ranks
the last try was like leveling up
the skill got from you suck to extremely high level
like leveing 50 level ups from 1 level in a rpg
i felt it
and so my friend who beat minos too
you dont just beat it once you beat it forever
everytime you try after you beat it once(unless you havent played for a long time) you can beat it in little tries (1 or 2)
right after P-1
I P ranked it
in little to no tries

woahhhh.. talk about an underrated channel man! :D
I'll follow you through your journey, can't wait for you to blow up :)
9:06 that’s exactly my death count the first time
This is a very well made video, keep it up :)
Devourer of gods is getting a MASSIVE sprite rework. literally. he will be massive.
dude i saw i am so beyond excited for that
Like people said. Minos is the hero. You are the protaganist
I remember Minos...and it only took me 300 restarts!!! :DDDD
(after having now beaten P-2 in 100 restarts, I went back and easily P-ranked Minos)
0:59 he had Sisyphus music he predicted it
0:58*
0:56 btw
why do I all of a sudden imagine minos and gwyn from dark souls having a tea party
7:39 This is almost how it feels to be hit by Ganondorf's down-air
Also, when the game is finished, we all want an option to spare Minos. I hope the devs give us that option
yeah i didnt even know he could do that, but when i was filming that he did that combo and i was like holy shit smash bros
also yes i want a minos prime playable character that would be so damn cool
One time i was crying while fighting minos
@@Meatslap "WEAK!" (I'm sorry lmao)
@@Meatslapsame lmao, 12 hours on the same level is painful
“thy end is now” Minos Prime said calmly
Ngl, P-Ranking him after like 200+ restarts and 3 days of trying is the best ive felt playing a video game
Minos is the best boss ever. Hes hard but not super hard, his move set is really good, he doesnt wear any clothes, and the music is fire. Minos could be pretty good as a smash bros character, the combo potential could be pretty good there
now imagine if like P-5 in the future required you to Perfect rank all other P levels
there wont be p-5, as theres only 9 layers with 3 prime level
I still get chills from hearing the first bits of the song
0:39 bro didnt parry the drone... fr?
😮
10:15 yrowe caught trying to parry with knuckleblaster
Ultrakill does such an incredible job at having the player feel like they tangibly got better. My first minos prime run was on standard and took 90 attempts, literally a week later I p-ranked him on violent. In that week I didn’t get some new op weapon, or grind some stat to destroy him. All I did was merely practice, and enough practice makes you feel overpowered in this game.
its the only game that ive played where you aren’t limited by your arsenal, but your skill and creativity, which is why its so damn cool and satisfying
@@yrowe yeah man my friend killed him with the revolver
I absolutely get what you mean, I went from just barely beating him on standard to be able to beat him just by punching only in a couple of weeks, its an amazing feeling tbh
Fun fact: when minos says ‘thy end is now’, it is actually a reference to the fact that he is about to end you.
I prefer Sisyphus, but I’d be lying if I said Minos wasn’t a close second lol
Ultrakill is a game that can be described just buy a few words:
When you’re the unstoppable force, but there’s no impenetrable wall
7:03 no one gonna talk about how the player shoots minos in the balls?
+DDDisrespect
He took + Disrespect to a whole new level
9:00 "that's it"
RUclips: fucking crashes
Funniest shit I ever seen
When you master this man and just P rank him daily hits hard
the only boss that says “die” and then makes you die
I kind of had the suspense of the first playthrough ruined as I had already seen a lot about it. Hell flesh prison took longer for me but god damn is Minos fun as hell. That's why I'm purposefully avoiding as many spoilers as I can for sisyphus
pretty cool to see someone play ultrakill this well tbh. you sure know how to go fast and kick ass!
Congrats on getting blessed by the algorithm btw
The fact that at 3:00 there's a dude with a name so fowl, it needed to be censored is just...💀
Banger video as usual bestie
I used to never play ultrakill, however I always wanted to play it, knowing how cool and good looking it is. One of the main factors were the voice acting and the characters. They just hooked me in. Dying was worth it hearing those "Die! Thy end is now!"
(spoilers) the "he didn't deserve it" part is really what makes me like Sisyphus less, instead od pure pain in ost we just hear anger, and it just doesn't hit as hard, i obviously rank P-2 as best level in Ultrakill, the ost is amazing, but the final boss... After Minos... Just no
MINOS MADE ME CHRONICALLY DEPRESSED WHY DOES HE HAVE SAD LORE
Nice vid bro
Minos prime saying DEATH is foreshadowing the time where he kills you
Watched the entire video then realized u dont got millions of views, so underrated.
Before seeing or watching this video. I've actually seen a video about speedrunners killing this boss.. Minos, in around a minute, complete with all S scores. And after watching this video, I have now understood just how hard it actually was to do make such an achievement, and how easy the speedrunners made it look like(especially to someone who hasn't played the game personally) to actually achieve such a thing.
My reaction after beating him for the first time my thoughts were “ahh sh*t I just killed the good guy.”
JUDGEMENT
Yup
Tbh Minos took me like 5 attempts, NOW FLESH PRISON MADE THOSE OTHER 65
Even though you realized that Minos is not the strongest opponent after meeting Sisyphus, he is by far the BEST boss. Sisyphus, meanwhile, was a brutal dictator Manipulating his people for war with heavеn. Sisyphus looks like a fat Cerberus, he showed himself to be an absolute antagonist, even Gabriel was not an absolute evil, he just followed orders. And Minos... Minos simply magnificent in every aspect
my thoughts exactly
Tbf, Sisyphus was not pure evil either. Him and his people were all under a brutal oppression, far worse than what Minos and the Lust layer had went through. He was wise enough to know there would be no freedom from Hell, but he still fought, just to spite his slavers. Sisyphus is pure tenacity and determination, and while both him and his subjects would crumble after a thousand lifetimes of futile struggle, the king did not regret it either.
@@jimboanimations4041 Yeah, he isnt evil in the way that che guevara isnt evil. they’re just freedom fighters. The reason i praise minos so much though is he’s just the most stand out different character in ultrakill. He’s the only person with some honor left.
@@jimboanimations4041 Then I'm sorry (Maybe it's better explained in the book, but I haven't read it). And while Sisyphus saw in us (v1) As a light snack before dinner, Minos perceived us as a threat to all living things (yes, in fact we are evil) and if you don’t stop us, hell will die and paradise will die after it (well, this is purely my guess, After all, if the machine kills all living things in hell, then he will go further to look for blood)
@@1dontknown I honestly don't think Sisyphus truly saw us as a foe he could easily beat (despite the fact he took me around 100 attempts to finally win against), given his dialogue both when he reaches phase 2, and when he is killed. Sisyphus honestly seems like he is trying to encourage the machine to defeat him, or at least is just enjoying the fight regardless. Some theories state he knows of all of V1's victories and believes the machine may be able to succeed where he always failed, though we sadly don't have enough knowledge on Sisyphus to know. I really wish he had more buildup in ACT 2, just like how Minos was built up.
My goofy ah really thought that when I killed flesh prison I beat p-1. Me and my friend where there and we started celebrating, then we both realized that the boss was only half done.

I know Mr. Yrowe probably isn't going to see this, but this video and the P-2 video is the reason I got into ULTRAKILL. Thank you, Yrowe.
Minos prime is a boss who screams "die" and then actually beat the crap out of you
“THY END IS NOW” is referencing that Minos is gonna beat you into the flippin dirt 20000000 feat under
I never questioned how good a person minos was, and when I p-ranked his fight, I was overwhelmed with joy as opposed to melancholy. P-ranking Pinos is my greatest achievement so far.
“I mean how hard could it be”
7 minutes later
“OHSHITOHSHITOHSHITOHSHIT”
my first reaction to seeing art of Minos was literally
‘why the spot so buff bruh’
Most of honoured to be in thy documentary, wish thee prosperity and glory.
thank you minos, hope you get out of gluttony soon 🙏
