      I really hope the next Prime soul could be Odysseyus Prime even if it's unlikely. He basically fills all of the quotas: He's a Real Life King related to the Greeks ( The Acheans religion was entirely Greek mythology) and he has mythology stories about him ( the entirety of the Odyssey is this). It would be really cool fighting the soul of the same warlord that was one of the most major figures in the Trojan War, who supposedly went to Hades' realm and back, and survived the might of Posidean.

    I think a really undervalued part of Ultrakill’s music is how it conveys its environment.
    From what I get, the standard bass guitar is V1. For violin/basic piano, Gabriel. The more stringy guitar, V2. And when the levels get harder, orchestral music plays to show that hell is fighting back against V1. In P-2, you can only hear an intense organ, signaling that the fight is so stacked against you that you can’t even hear yourself. I think that’s kinda cool

I started doing p-2 runs just for fun and got better and better and slowly started realizing that maybe a p rank was possible. It took me probably 300+ tries to do it and another 200 to get to my current best time on it (7:26) and it feels great having done something I considered literally impossible for myself. Also I p ranked p-2 before p-1 and when I went back to p-1 I got the p rank in like 3 tries lmao, this level literally morphs you into a murdering machine.

    15:51 Can I be honest? I actually practice A, S, and P-ranking p-2 every time I play ULTRAKILL, so my skill doesn't rust up.. I often use the JACKHAMMER, SAWBLADE LAUNCHER, JUMPSTART, and SRS LAUNCHER to clear out troublesome or large crowds of enemies. For SRS, I use it for the Sentries in the Blessed Stalker Room and the Hallway With Cerberbus And Those Two StreetCleaners! Also, HUGE tip, When entering the Blessed Stalker Room, when the Ferryman spawns, throw up at least 2+ coins and hit them up with a Charged Slab Piercer Shot. This will do massive damage to a SwordsM. or the Ferryman. Right after that, get to the middle of the arena and place a Sawtrap and connect your Jumpstart wire to one of the enemies there. Also nuke 'em.
