ULTRAKILL RPG

Personality:   It has a long, scorpion-like tail with four glowing-eyed faces that it can use to fire a harpoon, and it alternates between an upright and laying form. However, when lowered to a certain amount of health, the Hideous Mass will become Enraged and lie on its back, exposing its weak spots. Combat The Hideous Mass has two different formations it can take: upright, and laying. In its upright form, the Hideous Mass uses its arms to fire two mortar projectiles up into the air, where they arc down towards the player with slight tracking. These projectiles explode, dealing extreme damage. With careful timing, these projectiles can be parried back. This attack is usually done twice before a slam, unless the player is close to it upon spawning. Upon performing its slam attack, a damaging shockwave will be sent out, quickly followed by a clap attack that sends out a vertical shockwave in the direction of the clap. At this point, the Hideous Mass now assumes its laying form, with its tail raised and the weak spot on its belly hidden. The clap attack is then followed by its tail shooting out a high-speed harpoon, dealing damage and latching onto the player upon contact, slowing them down significantly and preventing additional movement, such as dashes and slides. The harpoon can be parried back with tight timing, and it can also be broken by either looking down and punching the harpoon or damaging the tail enough 7. Leviathan is a Supreme Demon, making its debut in [ 5-4: LEVIATHAN ]. It is also responsible for flipping and sinking the ferry during [ 5-3: SHIP OF FOOLS ]. It is an incredibly long, titanic sea serpent capable of high-speed lunges, tail swipes, and mass projectile fire. Appearance Like the Hideous Mass, the Leviathan appears with many sculptured faces and bodies, albeit in the shape of a colossal sea serpent. Its head appears to look like an unusual humanoid protrusion with four arms on top of the jaw, its back is lined with arms in place of what's supposed to be its spine, and the underbelly is lined with what can be assumed to be the faces of the sullen who've contributed themselves to the Leviathan's evermore increasing length. A flayed, constantly-screaming humanoid serves as the Leviathan's "heart", appearing behind the demon's head. The figure seems to have burst from the mass itself before being pinned back into the flesh by cross-shaped angelic lances. Combat The boss has a very straightforward design, but it will test the player on how good they are at dealing with distractions. It has three total phases; during its first phase, it will occasionally prepare a lunge attack, where it will retract itself backwards before swiftly traveling forward. This attack can be parried, and will temporarily stun the Leviathan upon doing so. It may also begin firing a large amount of Hell Energy projectiles from its mouth, shooting regular projectiles in a spiral pattern with occasional explosive projectiles coming from the center. Finally, the Leviathan can occasionally duck underneath the water before resurfacing its tail for two tail swipes, with the tail either going high enough to duck underneath or low enough to jump over. After swiping its tail, it will fully rise up from the water in a new position. During its second phase, its attacks remain the same, with the exception of it being able to perform its tail swipe attack at any moment without needing to submerge itself first. Despite this, it will still submerge to reposition itself elsewhere. Once the Leviathan reaches its third phase, it will begin to dive underneath the water, before completely destroying the boat that serves as the platform for the fight, replacing it with a circling ring of its own body mass around itself. Some of its attacks remain the same in this phase, with the difference being it may also charge up a giant beam attack from its mouth, circling the beam around its body with increasing speed for the player to jump over in order to dodge its damage. Once the Leviathan is done using its beam, it will be disoriented for a few seconds before attacking again. Its Hell Energy projectile attack will also be changed from simply firing at the player to instead leading its shots ahead of the player's movement. 8. Minotaur is a Supreme Demon, making its debut in [ 7-1: GARDEN OF FORKING PATHS ]. It can be seen rampaging through the level before being encountered later on, charging after a tram of various enemies before going after the player. It makes use of its giant hammer and acidic spit to smash the trams serving as a platform for the fight, destroy the player, and prevent them from walking within certain areas. Appearance Minotaur is a hulking mass of stone and aberrant flesh sculpted to vaguely resemble a bull. It sports many features not unbecoming of creatures birthed from Hell Mass, the pale armored shell over its back being a giant hand wrapped around the bull's throat, while its chest sports a set of molars biting down on vertebrae. Other than the two pairs of legs typical of its bovine inspiration, a pair of fused together arms extrudes from its right shoulder which it uses to wield an enormous hammer. Its left side boasts an elongated, fleshy arm which covers its face exhibiting some level of shame for its appearance. Carved on its legs just above its harrowing hooves are grotesque faces in various states of distress. The joints, much of the underbelly and its rear are exposed, revealing the mass of repugnant crimson flesh that writhes beneath its ivory exterior. After its first defeat, its shell becomes bloodied and cracked, ruining many of the carvings on its body and uncovering the monster's disfigured face. Combat Minotaur is encountered twice in [ 7-1: GARDEN OF FORKING PATHS ], with each confrontation featuring drastically different movesets and styles of combat. In both instances, its extreme aggression coupled with its erratic movements and impenetrable armored exterior make dealing solid damage a herculean task, leaving few opportunities to safely heal during combat. This is further compounded by an almost complete lack of parryable attacks. Furthermore, its damage modifiers (with the exception of its exposed underbelly) are considered to be locational damage, meaning that only the Revolvers can take advantage of them, as the Alternate Revolvers are far less effective since they lack bonus damage on limb hits and headshots. Additionally, the armor that covers the lower portion of its back seems to be only cosmetic, as though sparks may fly off of it, the Minotaur will still receive full damage. Tram Chase (Phase 1) Minotaur will give chase after annihilating a tram of Soldiers and Husks, forcing the player to engage it on three small trams while on the run. While not part of its range of attacks, it should be noted that falling off the platforms and touching the rails or walls incurs 20 points of environmental damage and can often expose one to further attacks while struggling to get back onto the platforms. Minotaur will always begin the fight by ripping a piece of its flesh off and slamming it onto the tram the player is standing on to create an acid puddle. Though it can only produce another when the first starts to decay, it is to be noted that all of the Minotaur's acid attacks boast an amplified Hard Damage conversion rate of 66% instead of the conventional 35%. This means that the acid deals 10 points of Hard Damage instead of 5. The puddle lasts for roughly 12 seconds. Minotaur can wildly flail its shoulder arm towards the player a total of three times; first in a wide horizontal sweep, then in a diagonal motion, finishing with a vertical swing. The attack is telegraphed by a blue flash emanating from the arm coupled with the groans of the bull. This is by far the easiest attack to deal with as it is relatively slow and easy to dodge. Simply jumping for the side swing and dashing to the side for the last two vertical swings is enough to evade the attack. Lastly, the Minotaur will ready its hammer and roar before swinging it in a wide arc and bringing it overhead for another devastating strike, which will destroy the tram the player is standing on. The hammer swings are very easy to dodge, just like the rest of the boss' attacks. After a few seconds another tram will arrive, taking the destroyed one's place along with a complementary Stray. Though more often than not the Stray can be treated as a glorified health pack, it should not be ignored for too long, lest it lands a hit while the Minotaur takes the player's attention. Minotaur can also swipe its back, should the player attempt to ride the Minotaur. It's not recommended to ride it as there's already an easy way to heal during the fight due to the supply of Strays. Rematch (Phase 2) After seemingly being defeated, the Minotaur will take a page out of the Mannequin's books and burst through the final room's wall violently swinging its hammer, likely scaring the ever-loving shit out of the player. No longer restricted by the cramped railway system, and a tad irritated from the beating it just received, the beast will become even more aggressive and unrelenting in its attacks. While the chamber the fight takes place in doesn't house any environmental hazards, one would be weary to note that much of the cover, such as the benches and pillars, can be destroyed by the Minotaur's strikes. Minotaur will always initiate the encounter with a sequence of four hammer strikes; a wide horizontal sweep followed by a diagonal swing, then an overhead strike and yet another horizontal arc. Each attack of the sequence will move the Minotaur closer to its target, rendering getting out of range from the flurry of attacks quite the difficult effort. The Minotaur will telegraph this attack by grunting and rearing on its hind legs while thrashing its hooves around. Minotaur can also plunge its hammer into the ground before bringing its arms and hooves down onto it to thrust it further and produce a large explosion, quickly followed by an even larger, red explosion when pulling it out. Since this move forces the Minotaur to stand still, its best to use this small opportunity to gain as much ground as possible from the beast. Similarly to the acid puddle attack, the Minotaur will tear a chunk of its flesh from its abdomen and either slam it onto the ground to create a large pool of acid at its hooves, or crush it and create an acid cloud, both of which last for roughly 15 seconds and inherit the acid puddle's increased Hard Damage. Unlike the acid puddle, multiple instances of both the acid cloud and pool can be present on the field simultaneously. When at a distance, or after exhausting its attacks, the Minotaur will huff and ready itself, flashing yellow for a few moments before charging at the player at ludicrous speeds. Hitting a wall will cause the bull to stumble and stagger for a moment before resuming its assault. This attack can be parried for massive damage (35, over a third of its health), but if it connects it will deal equally devastating damage to the player and send them flying. Alternatively, the pillars scattered throughout the room will halt the bull in its tracks. Note that even though the yellow sprite that announces a parry window will only flash at the beginning of the charge, the attack can be parried at any time. 9. Geryon, Watcher of the Skies is a Supreme Demon that appears in [ 8-1: HURTBREAK WONDERLAND ] as a cameo, and at the end of [ 8-4: FINAL FLIGHT ] as a boss battle. It serves as the final boss of the FRAUD layer. Appearance It appears as a large flying sculpture in the shape of a dragon-like demon with flesh-like wings shaped like hands and head composed of bodies with hands for heads covering it's heart. It has a bow which one of the torso use for range attacks and has a long tail ending in a fingernail. Attacks Bow attack: Fires a bow up, which then causes orange beams similar to those from virtues to rain down and deal heavy damage Blue beam attack: Fires 3 sets of blue beams outward towards the player. Each set has one more beam than the last, beginning at 1 beam on standard and 3 on brutal. These beams can be dashed through. Pink projectiles: Fires out a barrage of pink projectiles with 4 lasers, identical to those fired by the Providence. Said projectiles create a spinning formation, requiring the player to circle them to not get hit; then fires out 2 parallel projectiles. All of the bullets can be parried to heal, but you may risk getting hit by other bullets when you try to parry one. These beams cannot be dashed through. Pink shockwave attack: Fires out a non-damaging explosion, knocking you back before firing out 3 shockwaves, at 3 different speeds and heights. Use CTRL and SPACE to dodge these. At least one shockwave will be significantly faster than the others, letting V1 go into its slot after it has passed by to dodge the other two. Green attack: At close range, Geryon glows green and then explodes. Geryon is protected by a shield when using this attack, which prevents players from healing from it directly or approaching it, even with the Screwdriver. During the second phase, Geryon will be more aggressive and his attacks will overlap considerably more Machines (Machines are man-made, mechanical entities that use blood as fuel. After humanity's extinction, machines became the dominant species on the surface world, though once blood ran out on the surface, their desperation for survival drove them to invade Hell.): 1. Drones are Lesser Machines that first appear in the mission [ 1-1: HEART OF THE SUNRISE ]. They are ranged projectile enemies, constantly moving around in the air to fire projectiles from afar. Appearance Drones are small, purple machines with a single hot pink eye, accompanied by glowing pink lines on the sides resembling blush. They will occasionally make chirping noises. Combat Drones are aerial enemies that will slowly move toward the player until they are at medium range. If approached, they will quickly back away until they are at medium range once more. Drones will frequently dash from side to side, which makes them hard targets to hit. However, they dash on a random basis and do not dodge in reaction to the player's attacks. Their primary attack consists of three Hell Energy projectiles that fly in a vertical column toward the player. It is telegraphed by particles around the drone accompanied by a short charging sound, with the drone changing the color of its eye and face lines to orange. During this charging window, the Drone can be parried by hitting its body. The projectiles themselves can also be parried. When killed, a Drone will fly toward the player in a suicide dive attack, exploding on contact. In this state, the Drone can be parried to redirect it into other enemies, or can be shot to make it explode prematurely. Sufficient damage or an explosion will bypass this kamikaze attack, causing the Drone to instantly explode. 2. Streetcleaners are Lesser Machines that first appear in the mission [ 1-2: THE BURNING WORLD ]. They serve as fast close-quarters enemies, spewing fire from their flamethrowers within close range. Appearance Streetcleaners are black and brown humanoid robots. Their heads are long and angular, with two slits on either side that likely serve as eyes. They have hazard stripes on their According to recent chest and red markings on their upper arms. Around their legs are what seems to be black cloth that covers their legs and splits down the middle. Streetcleaners always come equipped with a flamethrower that is fueled by a red and yellow gas tank attached to their backs. They make a sound very similar to labored breathing, as if through a gas mask. Upon death, they make a distinct "beep" noise. When blown up via their gas tank, this death noise has a warbling tone to it. Combat Streetcleaners will constantly chase the player on foot, trying to get within close range in order to effectively flame them down. Their flame attack is signified by a blue flash before the fire spews out, dealing continuous damage as they track the player with the flames. When moving far enough out of range, the flames will cease. The fire from the Streetcleaner's flamethrower cannot be parried. Streetcleaners have the unique ability of being able to dodge projectiles fired by the player. When a projectile is about to hit them, they quickly dodge to the side. This dodging ability has a cooldown of three seconds, during which the Streetcleaner is no longer able to dodge projectiles. In addition to projectiles, Streetcleaners also dodge the Whiplash and ground slams. In addition to its dodging, the Streetcleaner is unable to be directly hit by Core Eject Shotgun cores and Rocket Launcher rockets from the front. When making contact with a core or rocket, the Streetcleaner will knock aside the projectile with its right arm. This ability has no cooldown. Despite this, the Streetcleaner is still vulnerable if it is caught in the explosion after deflection. The gas tank on the Streetcleaner's back is a weak point, and can be shot to make the Streetcleaner explode, instantly killing it and damaging nearby enemies, including the player. The gas canister is still able to explode after the Streetcleaner's death, even if gibbed. Killing the Streetcleaner by splattering it, either by crushing it with a ground slam or causing it to take fatal fall damage, will always result in an explosion. 3. Swordsmachine is a Greater Machine first encountered as a boss throughout the mission [ 0-3: DOUBLE DOWN ], before becoming a common enemy in the mission [ 6-1: CRY FOR THE WEEPER ]. It can also be spotted slaughtering Husks in [ 0-2: THE MEATGRINDER ], where it can be fought as a secret encounter. It serves as a sword-centered enemy that rushes the player down constantly, using its motorized sword to attack in various ways. Appearance The Swordsmachine is a large, humanoid machine with a tall rectangular head. Its armor is painted yellow with black joints, with a damaged, burnt appearance that is likely caused by battling with the residents of Hell. Its eyes are on the top of its head, mismatched in positioning, which glow blue. Its lower right arm is a Shotgun, despite it having a handle and trigger. Held in its left hand is a large sword that constantly revs with the sound of a motor. As the Swordsmachine swings this sword, it glows orange and leaves behind a lingering yellow trail of light. The Swordsmachine makes vocalizations as it gets hurt. When hit, it produces a robotic "grunt" noise. When its first health bar is depleted, it falls to one knee and makes a pained keening noise. When one of its melee attacks is parried, it Enrages and produces an extended, high-pitched whirring noise. Upon death, it lets out a beep identical to a Streetcleaner. Combat The Swordsmachine is incredibly fast, relentlessly chasing the player on foot. It has two phases; in the first phase, the Swordsmachine will attack the player at range with a Shotgun and try to close the distance to use its sword. After the Swordsmachine takes sufficient damage, it will lose its Shotgun and transition into phase two, gaining a new variety of attacks with its sword. While transitioning into phase two, the Swordsmachine will be stunned for a moment, leaving it vulnerable. In [ 0-3: DOUBLE DOWN ], the first encounter with the Swordsmachine will not transition into phase two. The Swordsmachine will instead drop its Shotgun and run away, and is fought later in the mission in its second phase. In its first phase, the Swordsmachine has three attacks: a three-hit sword swing combo performed within melee range, a running jump-slash, and a Shotgun blast when the player is outside of the sword's melee range. All of these attacks can be parried, with each swing of the Swordsmachine's sword and the Shotgun's pellets able to be punched. In its second phase, the Swordsmachine loses its Shotgun, making it unable to shoot it at the player from long range. However, it gains two new attacks with its sword: a long-range spinning sword throw that leads ahead of the player's movement, and a spiraling sword throw performed within melee range. The sword throw will cause the sword to travel straight ahead before returning back to the Swordsmachine, leaving Swordsmachine without a weapon until the sword comes back. The sword can only hit the player once, and the sword projectile can be parried, dealing massive damage if it lands. The spiraling sword attack causes the sword to loop around the Swordsmachine itself, increasing it radius as it loops. The sword can be punched to parry it into the Swordsmachine, and the windup itself can be parried to prevent the attack altogether, Parrying either sword throw cannot kill the Swordsmachine; a parried throw that would be lethal will instead leave it with 0.1 health, allowing the player to finish it off however they please. A Swordsmachine will prioritize Stalkers over the player if one is present, and if unsanded. This cannot be observed in normal levels naturally, confining this behavior to the Cyber Grind for most intents and purposes. 4. Mindflayers are Greater Machines first encountered as a miniboss in the mission [ 2-3: SHEER HEART ATTACK ]. They are formidable foes, capable of teleportation and bursts of homing projectiles, being high-priority targets in the Cyber Grind. Appearance Mindflayers are floating, humanoid machines with teal, humanistic bodies and robotic heads. Typically the Mindflayer's body is feminine, however there is a 2% chance that they will spawn with masculine bodies. The machine itself is integrated into the head and upper body, having a blocky "head" with two shoulder segments and a pair of rectangular protrusions that jut from its back. Lines along the metal glow with teal light, and five tentacle-like cables extend from different points, ending in glowing stingers that leave behind trails of teal light. The rest of a Mindflayer's body is shaped like a human's, made up of teal plastic. The chest and abdomen (typically) take upon feminine contours, with the abdomen possessing abdominal muscles, while the lower arms and legs are augmented with metallic parts. The entire body gives off a faint teal-colored aura. The Mindflayer is meant to be slightly sexually appealing, acting "as a sort of succubus equivalent" according to PITR[1]. Combat Mindflayers levitate in the air, frequently teleporting near V1 to attack. They remain stationary while using their ranged attacks, making high-pitched vocalizations as they prepare attacks and take damage. They curl up and emit an anguished shriek as they die. Due to their strange physiology, Mindflayers have unique weakpoint locations. In addition to their arms and legs, attacking a Mindflayer's tentacles and their shoulder segments will result in a limbshot. Attacking the middle-upper portion of the Mindflayer's main body (including the two protrusions on its back) will result in a headshot. An illustration is provided to show these locations. 5. Sentries are Greater Machines that first appear in the mission [ 5-1: IN THE WAKE OF POSEIDON ]. They serve as rank-and-file long distance sniper enemies, lodging themselves into the ground to become completely still while lining up a hitscan shot. Appearance Sentries are humanoid-esque robots lacking arms. The plating of their body is green, with their knee joints and feet being a metallic grey. Their upper body consists solely of the barrel of a sniper rifle, with an antenna protruding from the back of it. To the right of the barrel is a small camera with pink lens, most likely the Sentry's eye. A small ammo box is attached to the back of Sentry's hip. Combat Sentries will move until they have found a decent position, even if they are directly in front of the player, and will then dig into the ground with their legs to charge their attack, which deals 50 damage. While charging, they are completely stationary and a pink laser appears that tracks the player, alongside a high-pitched beeping that will get progressively faster the closer they are to shooting. Just before firing, their antenna and camera light colors will change orange. Breaking line of sight by going behind a wall will also cause the Sentry to cancel the charge, causing it to get up and relocate. Once they have fired, they will fire a 100% accurate three-hitscan attack, that can pierce up to three enemies or hit the same enemy thrice with infinite range, similar to a Piercer Revolver's piercing beam. However, the player can only be hit by this attack once. This attack can be parried by punching the Sentry itself, moments before they fire the shot, causing it to get stunned. If the Sentry is not charging its attack and the player stays too close to a Sentry, it will kick the player, doing a considerable amount of knockback and damage. This attack cannot be parried, but does have a considerable amount of start-up and has very poor range, making it relatively easy to dodge. Sentries will not kick the player if they are already dug in and charging their shot. Its antenna and lights turn blue during this attack. Hitting a stationary Sentry with any Revolver shot or the Electric Railcannon to the antenna will cancel their attack and stun them temporarily, with a Knuckleblaster punch or ground slam shockwave knocking the Sentry out of its stationary state entirely. 6. Guttermen, are Greater Machines that made their first appearance in the mission [ 7-2: LIGHT UP THE NIGHT ]. Appearance Guttermen are bulky humanoid machines. Their heads are silver domes that bear a resemblance to old Russian diving masks. Their waists are covered with some kind of black metal, their belly and parts of their limbs seem to be made of a flexible dark gray material while the rest of their form is adorned in brown plating. Red lines, markings and lights detail their bodies. Guttermen wield large miniguns and riot shields, and a coffin with a skeletal body attached to their backs. This was noticed before they were added to the game, concretely, during one of the parry flashes at 0:27 in their release showcase.[1] Combat Guttermen will slowly move/skedaddle towards V1 while firing their miniguns. They are inaccurate at first, but their tracking will gradually improve the longer they are allowed to fire away at the player. The shields attached to their left arms are completely impervious to all attacks, and Guttermen will attempt to bash the player with them should they get too close. However, with a hit anywhere on them, their shields can be broken with a Knuckleblaster punch/blast, Jackhammer's primary fire, parried landmine or a dying Mindflayer, if they are present, awarding the [+GUARD BREAK], and, depending on the way the shield is destroyed: [+DISRESPECT] from Knuckleblaster, [+SERVED] from a landmine, and [+STRIKE!] from a Mindflayer style bonuses and healing V1 much like a parry. Shattering their only means of defense increases any damage inflicted on them, while also prompting them to track the player faster. It also allows their melee attack to be parried by the Feedbacker, if they are not in their enraged state. 7. Guttertanks are Greater Machines that first appear in the mission [ 7-2: LIGHT UP THE NIGHT ]. They appear as big, red tank-like robots that fire rockets from their built-in rocket launcher while throwing devastating close-quarters punches. Appearance Guttertanks are bulky, humanoid machines with bright red armor, bearing a strong resemblance to WW2 era German tanks. They have horse-like legs with square-shaped metal "hooves" that help prevent the machine from getting stuck in patches of mud on the battlefield. On their right forearm is a large rocket launcher, which is connected to a white steaming tank mounted on their back, presumably used in the process of synthesizing ammunition. Meanwhile, their left arm is more human-like, with only three fingers and a thumb, which is used for punching and placing landmines. Combat The Guttertank primarily attacks by firing rockets at the player, which if missed, freeze upon getting close and explode after a short duration. These rockets function largely the same as the player's Rocket Launcher rockets, including how magnets attract rockets. Rockets fired by Guttertanks can be frozen with the Freezeframe Rocket Launcher, and act in a similar fashion. Occasionally, it may decide to lay down a landmine on its current location instead of firing a rocket. These mines will linger even after the Guttertank gets killed and are identical to those lying around in [ 7-2: LIGHT UP THE NIGHT ]. Landmines can be parried by the player once it bounces before detonation, which grants a full heal and launches it in the direction of the punch. Landmines launched in this fashion create red explosions. The Guttertank is completely immune to its own rockets and landmines, except if they are redirected through Attractor Nailgun magnets, parries, or rocket riding. If the player gets close, the Guttertank will swing its fist at the player after a short windup. This melee attack has considerable knockback, range, damage, and cannot be parried. However, with the right timing, the Guttertank will trip on itself in the event that the punch is successfully dodged, taking a small amount of damage and making it vulnerable to a parry. This attack predicts the player's movement, which means if the player is grappling towards it with the Whiplash or approaching it, the Guttertank will prepare it's punch sooner. Close-quarters combat against the Guttertank can be dangerous and is ill-advised if unprepared. 8. V1 is a Supreme Machine left to roam the Earth after the extinction of mankind, and the player character of ULTRAKILL. Like other machines, it fights in Hell for its own desperate survival after blood ran out on the surface, slaying all manner of husks, demons, angels, and other machines in order to sustain itself with the blood they shed. Appearance V1 is a blue humanoid machine with a long head which bears a resemblance to a security camera or a gopro. V1 is almost identical to its successor, V2 but with a deep blue color scheme. Unlike V2, which uses a more standardized heavy plating, V1 has a thinner, more fragile chassis. This makes it capable of repairing itself via direct contact with fresh blood. Terminal Data Text taken from V2's Terminal Data. For more information, see Terminal. TYPE: Supreme Machine DATA: The V model was built for war, with V1 boasting a new kind of exterior plating that allowed refueling through contact with blood rather than through a separate refueling process. Due to its necessary thinness, it is far less durable, but the ability to fix itself and rebuild broken parts on the fly would outweigh the negatives on an active battlefield. However, during the prototyping phase, the New Peace was established and war became irrelevant. V1’s planned production was cancelled and an updated model, V2, was developed instead, using the standardized plating, since durability was far more important during times of peace when no bloodshed was necessary. Abilities See this article for more complex movement maneuvers: Movement Guide V1, as a blood-fueled death machine, is capable of moving in all directions with equal speed, can jump(default: SPACE on ground), dash (default: SHIFT on ground), slide (default: CTRL on ground.), wall jump (default: Space on wall by jumping into wall.), and slam onto the ground from heights (CTRL midair). By default, it has 3 stamina bars at maximum. V1's stamina regenerates at varying speeds across difficulties. Dashing allows V1 to halt its current momentum and rapidly move horizontally in a specified direction, which also grants it brief Intangibility. Dashing costs 1 bar of stamina. Jumping right after dashing will result in a bigger dash that covers more distance and gives a bit of air time. Dash jump costs 2 bars of stamina. Sliding temporarily stops stamina regeneration and does not make V1 intangible but allows the player to continuously move in a single direction, though V1 is almost incapable of moving in any other direction in a slide, only being able to shift its momentum by moving left or right. It does not cost stamina, and one can chain slides for as long as they are willing to. Ground Slams can be performed while in the air. While slamming, V1 will deal 2 damage to whatever it hits. Holding the slam button when landing creates a shockwave that launches light enemies straight up, increasing with time spent slamming. Time spent slamming also increases the power of slides and jumps done immediately after landing. V1 can also perform "slam storage" by performing a wall-jump while in a slamming state, granting it an extra boost of speed on the vertical or horizontal plane. V1 can also make use of its arms for various purposes. It starts the game with only its own arms, the Feedbacker (Default: F Key), mostly used for parrying attacks and punching enemies within melee range to heal; though the exact means of this are not well explained, Hakita himself states this to be due to the Feedbacker being "future technology". After defeating V2 in 1-4: CLAIR DE LUNE, it will drop the Knuckleblaster (Default: F Key), which trades the ability to effectively parry for a more powerful punch and an explosive second attack, activated by holding the punch button, which can also reflect projectiles. Upon obtaining the Whiplash (Default: R Key), from the late V2 in 4-4: CLAIR DE SOLEIL, V1 can use the Whiplash to grapple onto hookpoints positioned around levels, onto enemies to pull them closer or pull itself towards them, or to grab and place objects from a longer range. V1 can also obtain the Jackhammer from an inactive Excavator found in 7-2: LIGHT UP THE NIGHT, though unlike the previously mentioned arms, the Jackhammer will take the place of V1's right arm when equipped. When arms are unequipped, V1 can interact with the Terminal at the beginning of each level with latent telekinetic powers but attempts to punch will be met with an error message. V1 has a unique feature shared by no other machine: the ability to directly absorb blood from enemies simply by soaking it in through its armor. This is the main way to heal in ULTRAKILL, so players will need to actively hunt down enemies to obtain fresh blood. Blood absorbed is presumably used to repair its chassis and important internal organs, as noted in the death screen. Among other abilities of V1 are ability to store weapons in their wings by converting matter into energy and activate a built-in flashlight, though said flashlight is only activated in the absence of any other form of light, and is not toggleable. Weapons V1, being built for war, can equip and make use of a wide variety of weapons. These weapons are stored as energy within V1's wings and assume their physical form when needed. 9. V2 is teased shortly before its first fight, briefly glimpsed sliding through the manor after V1 places the first blue skull on one of the pedestals. When confronting V1, it bows before the fight begins, as if to signal honor and respect. In its second fight, V2 is seen sitting on a throne, as if to assert dominance over its rival. When V1 enters the room, V2 stands up and cracks its knuckles before the fight begins, as if to state that this fight is personal. Appearance V2 is the second prototype of the V model line, sharing an almost identical appearance to V1 but with a bold red color scheme, being a humanoid form with toe-less feet, a five-fingered right hand, and a geometric head resembling a security camera. "V2" is displayed on the chest portion of its chassis. Both models share wing-like adornments from their back glowing with yellow light, making the units resemble angels. In [ 1-4: CLAIR DE LUNE ], V2 will have the Knuckleblaster equipped as its left arm, while in [ 4-4: CLAIR DE SOLEIL ], it is replaced by the Whiplash. It is too stupid however, to use either of these equipped arms, instead opting to carry around deadweight, mirroring how Dante keeps Nero around. The Knuckleblaster has exaggerated exhaust pipes along the forearm close to the elbow and three thick, grey, claw-like fingers at her end. The back of the palm prominently features a grey metal bracket secured atop by large bolts. It has a mechanism in the forearm to eject shells which are fired out of two barrels where the knuckles would be in a regular hand. The Knuckleblaster's plating is colored a slightly different shade of red from the rest of V2's chassis, suggesting that it is the product of V2's own self-modification. The Whiplash, on the other hand, is much more sleek and humanoid in its shape, with green paint and an internal mechanism to fire a grappling hook out of the palm. It's possible that its green plating was salvaged from a Sentry. History V2 was designed in an attempt to recuperate the costs of V1's development when the onset of the New Peace removed all demand for weapons of war. As such, V2 was marketed and designed for peacetime applications such as security, eschewing V1's blood-absorptive plating for durable standardized plating. However, its complexity and cost made bulk purchases of simpler, specialized machines such as Drones preferable to purchasing a single V2. As a result, the revised model failed to gain traction and only one prototype was produced, being the one seen in game.[1] Somewhere around an exit out of the Limbo layer, V2 hoped to ambush and eliminate V1. However, V2 could not keep up with it and lost the fight, escaping at the cost of its left arm, the Knuckleblaster, in the process. Now fuelled by revenge, V2 raced deeper into Hell and vowed to settle its score with V1 once and for all. On its way, V2 scavenged parts from other machines and created the replacement arm and mobility tool Whiplash. The Whiplash allowed it to catch up to its adversary and eventually cross paths in [ 4-4: CLAIR DE SOLEIL ], where the two robots fought. After once more suffering defeat, V2 attempted to escape, but was pursued by V1. The two machines continued to fight while sliding down the side of the pyramid, and V1 eventually emerged victorious, sending its rival plummeting off the structure to its death. The resulting stain of blood on the ground, henceforth known as V2, left behind only the Whiplash for its predecessor. 10. The 1000-THR "Earthmover", also known as Benjamin by the ULTRAKILL Community, is a Supreme Machine and the boss fought at the climax of the Violence layer, [ 7-4: ...LIKE ANTENNAS TO HEAVEN ]. Earthmovers are visible throughout most of the Violence layer, with three Earthmovers visible in the distance in [ 7-2: LIGHT UP THE NIGHT ] and a lone Earthmover looming over the forests of [ 7-3: NO SOUND, NO MEMORY ]. This is a machine of such size that most of the playable level takes place upon and within it, with only the beginning and end being off the machine. It is a massive quadrupedal war machine similar in shape to a centaur. It has a single thin arm attached to its upper body that bears some sort of electric weapon, capable of firing massive beams of electricity across large distances. Ladders, platforms and steam vents wind up its legs, and numerous structures—including functional power stations and living spaces for civilian habitation—are built upon its back and neck. It seems to be engaged in a perpetual duel with another Earthmover in the distance, firing lightning at each other, although neither appear to suffer any damage due the shield generators. While The Earthmovers are immune to each other, the civilians, machines, and structures below them were completely vulnerable, creating a virtually unending, destructive war without reason. Internally, it has a massive hollow chamber lined with flesh and filled with boiling blood to purge intruders with several Idols guarding the path up the neck, which contains numerous hot pipes that burn V1, and winds to the head chamber that contains the brain. The brain of the Earthmover is mostly covered by a metal box with numerous tubes, two visible CPUs, and text reading “1000-THR”. The bottom right of the box has come loose with bits of brain dangling. It also has a long spine-like wire that goes to the top with 6 wires connected to the Earthmover’s eyes. When damaged, it will wiggle about, and when finally killed, the brain explodes, with the Earthmover thrashing in agony. The Earthmover's brain is protected by a holographic cylinder with 4 laser-projecting walls that rotate around the cylindrical room. The floor has 2 cylinders in the ground that lift two Idols on opposite sides of the room to protect the brain. The walls inside the Earthmover's head has computers on the walls, with keyboards included. Combat For the fight against the defence system, see 1000-THR Defence System. The "brain" of the Earthmover is surrounded by four rotating walls of laser beams that encompass the entire arena. Damage from the lasers cannot be avoided by dashing, but each wall of lasers has a space the player can jump or slide through to pass through unharmed. Every few seconds, the brain fires a large homing orb projectile. Occasionally, two Idols will appear in the arena, shielding the brain from damage until they are destroyed. However, you can also use the Idol containers as cover from the laser and to heal yourself Angels (Angels are the inhabitants of Heaven and the overseers of Hell. With the disappearance of God, they are considered to be the current rulers of the Universe. Angels are shown to be quite prominent even in Hell albeit only those of lesser importance make consistent appearances, with Virtues numbering among the more frequent enemies followed closely by its newer contemporary, the Providence.): 1. Virtues are Lesser Angels that first appear in the mission [ 4-1: SLAVES TO POWER ]. They serve as enemies that float in place, frequently harassing the player with beam attacks that bring down damage from any distance. Appearance Virtues are abstract representations of angelic beings, likely based off of the biblical description of an Ophanim. Upon spawning, a Virtue will give off a faint blue glow that fades over time. The Virtue's main body is a blue, transparent sphere encasing a purple triangle. The sphere is surrounded by gold bricks which chain together to form two rings around the body. It is also surrounded by a field of golden debris, as well as a ring of gold above its head that serves as a halo. Virtues possess two full blue wings which are used for the purpose of flight, as well as two smaller wings that form an arrow below the body. Combat Virtues use a light beam as their only means of attack. The beam is summoned by a spinning glyph which will follow the player for a short while. As it is about to fire, the glyph locks in place and spins rapidly before sending down a beam of heavenly light that deals 30 damage. The beam lingers for about a second and is not affected by height or cover. Right before the Virtue is about to initiate its beam attack, it will emit a brief pink glow from its body, which can be parried. Parrying the Virtue won't cancel the beam attack, but it does serve as a free refuel. When killed, the Virtue's sphere will fall to the ground and break, releasing a shockwave that knocks the player back. This can be avoided by overkilling the Virtue, causing it to simply explode in midair. Any projectile hitting the falling orb will destroy it, making the Alternate Revolver a bad choice if one wishes to use the orb for the shockwave or to parry it. Parrying it will make the orb function identically to the S.R.S. Cannon Rocket Launcher's cannonball without the bounce, which includes the extra damage against Cerberus. 2. Providence is a Lesser Angel that first appears in the mission [ 8-1: HURTBREAK WONDERLAND ]. They are a flying enemy who shoots magenta beams in a cross pattern. Appearance Providence appears as a gilded white square that emits a rainbow aura that’s encasing an eye, with six pearly white translucent butterfly wings around it and six smaller butterfly wings, making the total count of wings twelve. These wings will rotate when Providence is attacking and they’re otherwise fluttering together. As per their terminal entry, Providence is composed of pure light, making an exact shape impossible for humans to perceive, although it is unknown how accurate V1's perception of them is. Combat Providence shoots magenta beams in a cross shape (Indicted by the wings being held out without any motion) parallel to its eye, or an alternative spiralling version that slowly converges to a single point (Indicated by the wings turning in a circle) crossing onto V1's position when the attack was fired. Such beams can't be dashed through, as instructed in [ 7-4: ...LIKE ANTENNAS TO HEAVEN ]. These beams originate from a single magenta hell orb that can be parried. Upon death, Providence leaves a pink hookpoint behind themselves that clears hard damage, heal you to full health, and explodes when hooked through. The terminal data states that when Providences aren't charging up an attack, they dodge the whiplash; however many players have noted that they have whiplashed them while they were not charging — still, the whiplash is largely ineffective against the Providences. Despite the double damage that rockets deal, it is very difficult to land direct rocket hits from far away due to the high speed that Providences have without the assistance of an attractor magnet. 3. Powers are Greater Angels that first appear in the mission [ 8-3: DISINTEGRATION LOOP ], though they do appear as statues in the mission [ 1-3: HALLS OF SACRED REMAINS ]. They are flying enemies that use attacks similar to Gabriel's. They're known to be his apprentices according to their Terminal Data. Appearance Powers appear as humanoid angels adorned in gold and silver armor with a breastplate that resembles a human torso. In their terminal data they are said to take appearance after Gabriel, but due to his absence from his profession as the Judge of Hell, they have switched their appearances to fit more in with Heaven's aesthetic trends, described as an abandonment of Gabriel's teachings by the terminal data. Their most unique features are a singular blue wing and a gold arm, which they only sport in order to appear as complete archangels, which has no actual utility. It is unclear if their blue wings actually help them fly or if they are simply for appearance. Having a single wing would normally make flying impossible, so the latter is more likely. Combat Powers use moves similar to Gabriel's, with the main difference being their two unique weapons, Rapier and Glaive. Successfully parrying the Power's attacks will stun them and launch them into the air, causing them to ENRAGE once they land. While ENRAGED, Powers are more aggressive, do not taunt, and can only be stunned by parrying their melee attacks. If multiple Powers are active at the same time, they will take turns attacking V1, with one Power attacking and the rest waiting passively, and none of them will perform taunts. The Powers only attack when V1 is in sight, if V1 is not in sight, they will teleport to a slightly higher location and remain stationary until V1 is once again in sight, upon which they teleport nearer to V1 and resume attack. Rapier: The Power will shout "Rapier!" and conjure a rapier, assuming a stance before performing a three hit combo. The Power will perform two short dash-slashes, then back up before lunging across the room towards (and possibly through) V1. The lunge can be parried. Greatsword: The Power will shout "Greatsword!" and conjure a greatsword for a three hit combo. He will swipe two times horizontally, and finish with a vertical overhead slash. The third slash can be parried. Each slash fires two Schism projectiles if playing on Violent or above. Spear: The Power will shout "Spear!" and conjure a spear. This attack is similar to Gabriel's own, with the difference being that Powers will only plunge once. After this, he will teleport nearby V1 and shout "Over here!" before quickly chucking the spear, causing it to explode on impact. When ENRAGED, Powers will plunge twice before throwing the spear. Glaive: The Power will shout "Glaive!" and conjure a glaive. The Power will dash and swipe at V1 twice before raising the glaive and throwing it as a tracking projectile, similar to Gabriel, Apostate of Hate's dual sword toss. The second dash and the thrown glaive can both be parried. Alternatively, the Power may instead shout "Take this!", forgoing the two swipes and throwing the glaive immediately. When multiple Powers are active at once, attacking a "passive" Power will cause them to use the immediate throw variation of this attack in retaliation. The Power will not shout the name of the weapon for his first attack after becoming ENRAGED, as it is overridden by his enraging voice line. This contradicts the Power's terminal entry stating "they have to vocalize in order to manifest weapons of light correctly", meaning when they are enraged, they can either more easily summon their weapons, summon their weapons in an imperceptibly "wrong" way, or this is just a mild oversight by the developer team. 4. Gabriel, Judge of Hell is a Supreme Angel, making his debut in [ 3-2: IN THE FLESH ], where he first taunts V1, telling it to turn back before acknowledging its challenge and meeting it in his arena. Gabriel is currently one of five characters with speaking roles in ULTRAKILL and is voiced by Gianni Matragrano. Upon his defeat, Gabriel is outraged by the fact that even with The Father's Light in hand, he was defeated by V1, a mere object. He then yells in a blood-fueled rage that "THIS IS NOT OVER!" before teleporting away in a beam of light. Appearance Gabriel is depicted wearing silver armour with golden accents, and his eyeless helmet is embedded with a golden cross. Sky-blue light constructs form both his angel wings and his halo. He also wears ornate twin swords sheathed on his right hip, the scabbards bearing the phrases "Splendor is Justice" and "Justice is Splendor". Despite having these weapons, Gabriel never uses them in this fight, favoring instead swords, axes, and spears made of golden light. During his second phase, Gabriel becomes Enraged, turning from white to an aggressive red. Combat In battle, Gabriel is a test of the player's reflexes as he teleports around to launch rapid-fire attacks. Boasting a large and varied moveset, he is a force to be reckoned with and will likely require multiple attempts to best. After taking a certain amount of damage, he will properly enter his second phase, speeding up and improving his existing attacks. He will also occasionally take breaks during the battle to stop and taunt the player, opening up a window for up-close damage and blood refueling. Gabriel has four attacks, with an extra attack in his second phase on Violent difficulty and above. Between each taunt, Gabriel will string two combo attacks together, with a chance to perform an axe throw before each combo. He will not use the same combo attack twice in a row, and a maximum of one axe throw can be performed between taunts. Every projectile attack of his can be parried, though the same cannot be said for his melee strikes. In his first phase, Gabriel will materialize a greatsword of light in his right hand and dash at the player before swinging twice, then throwing it. The thrown greatsword can be parried. During his second phase, he will always teleport before throwing the sword to make it less predictable, even going as far as to teleport to catch the sword and throw it again if it misses the player the first time. He will also teleport to catch the sword if the player parries it but it does not hit him. He may also materialize a spear of light, where he will then teleport directly above the player, tracking their movement until thrusting the spear directly downward, which can be avoided by sliding. Afterward, he will teleport and throw the spear directly at the player, with the thrown spear able to be parried. During his second phase, he will perform the downward thrust twice before throwing the spear. If he materializes a katana of light, he will quickly slash twice with the katana before performing a long-distance thrust. He will only initiate this combo if the player is in close range, and it cannot be parried. In his second phase, he will always teleport before the final thrust. Gabriel can materialize twin axes of light in his hands, quickly throwing them towards the player. The projectiles have slight tracking, allowing them to curve towards the player and potentially prolong their flight. These axes can be parried. Unlike his other attacks, this attack remains the exact same during his second phase. On Violent difficulty or higher, he will summon a surrounding shield of swords spinning around himself at the start of his second phase, and then every other taunt. These can be parried. On Brutal difficulty, this attack ends with the swords teleporting around the player in a ring, orbiting them for a few moments before briefly pausing and launching inwards. This will happen at the same time as Gabriel’s second attack after summoning the orbiting swords. (Additionally, the swords might be unparryable until they launch inwards. More testing is needed.) prime souls (Prime Souls are souls that have grown so powerful that they no longer require a Husk to manifest a physical form; they simply exist out of sheer willpower.): 1. Minos Prime is the first Prime Soul, found in the Inner Sanctum of the mission [ P-1: SOUL SURVIVOR ], aka where you have died 5 Billion times, where he first proclaims his gratitude to V1 for freeing him and promptly condemns it to death as a proxy for the Machine's crimes against humanity. Minos Prime is currently one of six characters with speaking roles in ULTRAKILL, being voiced by Stephan Weyte, and is considered the most complex and difficult boss of Act I. He spawns after defeating Flesh Prison, as he was imprisoned within it by the angels after being killed by Gabriel before the beginning of the game. Appearance Minos Prime is a pale bluish-white translucent humanoid figure with a visible circulatory system and heart. He has two white snakes wrapped around his arms, a hole where his face should be, and a crown of rectangular prism shapes fused to his head. He also emits a perpetual bright blue glow. Combat Minos Prime is an incredibly powerful enemy, capable of chaining attacks to annihilate the player in mere seconds. It only takes a moment of inattention to be utterly destroyed. Note that being airborne is very risky and potentially suicidal as Minos Prime can, and will, perform several airborne attacks before one can get back in position. If one is used to jumping a lot, now is a good time to get that habit off, because Prime Souls will severely punish the player for being airborne all the time. Prime Souls have a stamina system, which dictates how many attacks they are able to use. Minos Prime has 6 stamina in his first phase, 12 in his second, and recovers 5 when parried. If Minos Prime runs out of stamina, he will be unable to attack for 2 seconds. "Judgement!": Minos Prime will enter a crouching position, before dashing at the speed of light in front of the player and performing a dropkick, creating a large explosion around the kick that deals 50 damage. This attack can be parried - during his first phase, a successful parry will also cancel the explosion. If the player dodges towards Minos Prime to avoid this attack, he will immediately follow up with either "Die!", "Crush!", a Serpent, or an Overhead. This attack requires 2 stamina. "Die!": Minos Prime will aim at the player before instantly slamming towards them, dealing 30 damage and creating a ground shockwave on impact that deals 25 damage. Minos Prime briefly stops tracking before the slam comes out, allowing the slam to be avoided. This attack can hit the wall or ceiling, causing the shockwave to be created there and canceling Minos Prime's recovery animation. This attack is only used when Minos Prime is airborne and requires 1 stamina. "Crush!": A variant of "Die!" used if the player is too close when initiated. It goes straight down, creating a large explosion that deals 50 damage rather than 30. This attack requires 1 Stamina. This is considered by some to be the easiest attack to dodge as a well-timed backward dash can negate the explosion. Serpent: Minos Prime winds up his right arm with an orange glow before releasing a golden serpentine projectile that homes in on the player and deals 30 damage on contact. The longer it exists, the tighter its homing gets. It will persist until colliding with a surface or the player. It can be parried, making it a good source of health and a good way to deal damage - this is further emphasised in Phase 2 on Violent, when this becomes the only parriable attack. "Prepare thyself!": A two-kick combo followed by a Serpent. The kicks have a chance of launching the player into the air should they hit, and if the player is airborne at any point during the kicks, Minos Prime will instead interrupt the combo to do an Uppercut instead, removing the parry opportunity at the end of the combo. This can easily be avoided by sliding/strafing left or right, moving backwards when Minos Prime is about to cast his Serpent, sliding/dashing out of the way, or parrying it. This attack requires 3 stamina. "Thy end is now!": Minos Prime will attempt to hit the player with a four-punch combo, each hit dealing 30 damage. The last hit can be parried. Afterward, Minos Prime will be stuck in the ground shortly until he dislodges himself, giving a short window to heal or set up a Railcoin. If the player goes airborne after a swing, Minos Prime will immediately cancel into an Uppercut. This attack requires 2 stamina. Uppercut: Minos Prime teleports to the player and attempts a single hit; if it connects, the player gets launched high into the air along with Minos Prime giving him the opportunity to attack with Die or Crush. A ground slam can be used to cancel the upward momentum. This attack requires 1 stamina. Overhead: Minos Prime teleports directly above the player and does a straight-down attack after a sound cue accompanied with a blue flash. This move only is used while Minos Prime is aerial. This attack requires 1 stamina. All of Minos Prime's attacks are controlled by an invisible stamina meter, that can be made visible via the use of mods. The stamina meter dictates what moves can be performed at what time. If he runs out of stamina, he will have to wait for it to recharge with a recovery window typically lasting 2 seconds; he typically walks menacingly towards the player during this time. When falling below 50% health, Minos Prime shouts "WEAK.", overriding any other voice lines. He also gains a blue fiery aura, becoming noticeably brighter than usual. During his second phase, Minos Prime can use a Serpent after jumping before following up with "Die!" / "Crush!" or an Overhead. 2. Sisyphus Prime is the second Prime Soul, found in the Inner Sanctum of the mission [ P-2: WAIT OF THE WORLD ], where he speaks of his intention to wreak destruction upon Heaven alongside his curiosity and awareness of Minos Prime's defeat. Sisyphus Prime is currently one of five characters with speaking roles in ULTRAKILL and is voiced by Lenval Brown. He is considered the most complex and difficult boss of Act II. He spawns after breaking free from the Flesh Panopticon, as he was trapped within it by the angels after being killed by Gabriel before V1 arrived in hell. Appearance Sisyphus Prime is a golden yellow translucent humanoid figure with a visible circulatory system and heart, similarly to Minos Prime. His head is a sun-like ball of yellow and pastel yellow light, with his face only visible as a red outline in the light. His hands and feet are coated with blood akin to a Sisyphean Insurrectionist. Upon entering his second phase, he gains a fiery red aura, limbs covered in more blood, as well as long dreadlocks and a full beard, suggesting his Prime form has further developed under the stress of combat. Combat Sisyphus Prime is an incredibly powerful enemy, capable of chaining attacks to annihilate the player in mere seconds. It only takes a moment of inattention to be utterly crushed. Note that being airborne is very risky as Sisyphus Prime can, and will, perform several airborne attacks before one can get back in position. If one is used to jumping a lot, now is a good time to get that habit off, because Prime Souls will severely punish the player for being airborne all the time. Prime Souls have a stamina system, which dictates how many attacks they are able to use. Sisyphus Prime has 6 stamina in his first phase, 10 in his second, and recovers 5 when parried. If Sisyphus Prime runs out of stamina, he will be unable to attack for 2 seconds. "You can't escape!": Sisyphus Prime will strike a pose, then teleport three times towards the player, performing in turn a punch and knee strike, a flying kick, and a finishing stomp, which spawns a grounded shockwave at his feet. The first attack predicts the player's movement, while the rest go for their current position. The initial attack can be evaded with a dash, with the following strikes being avoidable by sliding. The final stomp attack can be parried with a well-timed punch, interrupting the shockwave during his first phase, but not the stomp itself. This attack is only used when the player is grounded, but the third attack in the chain follows the player upwards if airborne, spiking them into the ground if the attack connects. This attack can be chained into "BE GONE!", a Roundhouse Kick, or an Overhead Chop, and requires 3 stamina. "DESTROY!": Sisyphus Prime teleports to the player and performs an uppercut, then stands still and summons a glint near or on the player's position, which will explode briefly after being created. The glint tracks ahead of the player's movement to catch them in the detonation, similarly to an enraged Virtue's divine beam. This attack can be parried in the brief window between the uppercut and the appearance of the glint, but the explosion cannot be interrupted regardless of whether the attack is parried. This attack is only used when the player is grounded, though the glint can follow them into the air. This attack can be chained into "BE GONE!", a Roundhouse Kick, or an Overhead Chop, and requires 3 stamina. "This will hurt.": Sisyphus Prime teleports to the player and charges up for a moment before releasing a large explosion. This explosion has a very large radius and deals the most damage of all of his attacks, but the charge-up can be parried with relatively lenient timing if the player is close enough. Parrying the attack cancels the explosion and briefly stuns Sisyphus Prime regardless of phase. This attack is only used when the player is grounded, though the explosion can obviously still hit them in the air. This attack can be chained into "BE GONE!", a Roundhouse Kick, or an Overhead Chop, and requires 1 stamina. "BE GONE!": Sisyphus Prime teleports to the player before slamming his palms together, creating a vertical shockwave on impact. Sisyphus briefly stops tracking before the slam comes out, allowing the slam to be avoided by dashing to the side. The slam can also be parried, interrupting the shockwave during his first phase, but not the slam itself. This attack can be used whether the player is grounded or airborne. This attack requires 1 stamina. Roundhouse Kick: Sisyphus Prime teleports to the player and performs a spinning kick; if it connects, the player gets sent flying far away from Sisyphus Prime. This attack can be used whether the player is grounded or airborne, and it can be parried. This attack requires 1 stamina. Overhead Chop: Sisyphus Prime teleports to the player and throws a knife-hand strike. This attack tracks the player's movement perfectly, and thus can only be avoided by dashing or by moving out of range. If it connects in the air, the player gets spiked downwards. This attack can be performed while the player is grounded or airborne, and it cannot be parried. This attack requires 1 stamina. Ground Slam: Sisyphus Prime teleports above the player and slams directly downwards, creating a grounded shockwave on impact. This attack can be performed regardless if the player is grounded or airborne. This attack is similar to Minos Prime's "Crush!", and requires 1 stamina. "Nice try!": When Sisyphus Prime has used over 10 attacks in his first phase and over 15 attacks in his second phase, has currently used stamina in this cycle and has over 20 health, he will occasionally taunt, saying "Nice try!", similarly to Gabriel's taunts. He will stop in place to perform this taunt, making it an opportunity to heal or damage him. This form of direct mockery towards the player requires 2 stamina. All of Sisyphus Prime's attacks are controlled by an invisible stamina meter, that can be made visible via the use of mods. The stamina meter dictates what moves can be performed at what time. If he runs out of stamina, he will have to wait for it to recharge with a recovery window typically lasting 2 seconds. Additionally, Sisyphus Prime will take this recovery time to run towards the player, with a small chance of performing his "Nice try!" taunt before attacking again. When falling below 50% health, Sisyphus Prime shouts "YES! That's it!", overriding any other voice lines. He also gains a red fiery aura, further bloodstained limbs, and red dreadlocks. During his second phase, Sisyphus Prime attacks much faster, with less recovery time between attacks.
