This video was sponsored by the blind enemies cheat because i used it a lot
the audio is slightly ahead of the video in some parts, my OBS was having a moment and when I found out it was too late to fix it so I'm going to pretend it's a deliberate artistic decision and leave it at that - Ігри
I've got only one thing to say about this channel and it's: "Keep em coming"
Excellent video 👍

Gotta say finishing off sisyphus with an ULTRAKILL Style rank is the best thing ever.
Fr
I dunno man, when i was P ranking Sisyphus, I almost narrowly missed it in terms of style, however the final shot pushed my style up to an S. That shit was epic.
@@siliswest498
I KNOW RIGHT CLOSE CALLS CAN BE SO EPIC
I was fighting sisy normally and after chipping at his health to 1 shot he did his This will hurt attack and i Attempted a Really bad 360 coin shot.
Seeing that ULTRAKILL Rank While Sisy Exploded at the same time never felt so satisfying.
@@siliswest498😊
@@MetalMustBleed indeed my friend, indeed.
One thing I realized is that those who go through the gauntlet and get to the lift probably realized at that point that the gauntlet was just a warm up.
yeah i remember killing the stalker at the end and i was like wait a second i have to kill a prime soul
nah to be honest the gauntlet is harder
@@blank4592I found it the complete opposite. 20 deaths to the gauntlet, 96 to Sisyphus (violent). Keeping your style up goes a long way ig
I’d say the gauntlet is this levels true version of the Flesh prison. Something to test your multitasking skills and your judgement of enemy priority.
The gauntlet was that bad hakita probably didn't make us fight the panopticon, honestly he's probably gonna do a gauntlet and prison fight along with the prime soul for p-3
What's always so damn funny to me is that, every time i think about the level and its arenas, i unironically think to myself "like, it's not that bad, it's honestly doable, just keep your cool and perfom well".
I'm still on D-rank.
Edit: FINALLY, after pouring so much effort into this level, practising hour after hour i made it!
... to a C rank.
Edit 2: NOOOOOO, SSA! I was this close
same but it a c
Everyone keeps their cool until they get to the lava corridor
D for doable.
thats exactly true
I P-ranked it on standard, B-rank on violent
Really funny to note that this game caused you to organically extract the entire philosophy of the incredibly dense book “the myth of Sisyphus” by camus while blasting a dope castlevania soundtrack
one must imagine sisyphus happy
@@yroweand cranking his hog
Interesting take when you take the perspective of video games as an artform. The fact that a single level sent the message of an entire book in an exhilirating thrill once completed.
The mythyphus of sisyphus
I remember seeing a comment about how
P1 was a test of skill
P2 was a test of might
So we can assume the P3 can be a test of sheer fucking will.
May heaven have mercy on us for P3
at this rate p-3 wont be a test it will be a punishment to anyone who dare enter
@@yrowe And I won't regret a SECOND of it.
"Abandon hope all who enter here"
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.
@@rianmela3825 I believe that the next Prime Soul (if Hakita doesn't break the Greek heroes theme) is going to be either Ixion or Tantalus, Ixion was a human who was the first murderer and had the Greek gods favor and was even invited into Olympus and he was punished to be tied into a wheel of fire for trying to seduce Hera and the murder of his (both violence and betrayal) and Tantalus was punished to be forever hungry and thirsty because he stole from the gods and killed (and served to the gods as food) his own son (both betrayal and violence)
All I'm gonna say is that landing a parry on one of Sisyphus' attacks while you're both in mid-air is the singular most badass and dopamine-inducing thing in this game
The brutal battle with Sisyphus is pure adrenaline and dopamine
Battle with Sisyphus UKMD It will be something...Unimaginable.
*The battle with P-3 will be simply pure will, in the form of a battle in a video game.*
@@Soul_of_eternityP-3 will most likely be one of the best battles we could have in Ultrakill, since Sisyphus Prime was already a Banger of a Fight
One thing I like that SHOWS how different Minos and Sisyphus are is the difference in stances.
Minos stood at the same height as V1 while sisyphus TOWERS over him.
Minos had completely neutral stance, while Sisyphus is ready to throw hands.
Sisyphus may taunt you outright
But minos has one thing over him, his taunt is just walking menacingly after 2 minutes of not giving you a fucking minute to breathe
Minos is a noble soul
And he will give you a noble fight (and death)
"P-2 is the peak of ULTRAKILL"
I can wait for P-3 to come out. I can wait for as long as it takes for Hakita to outdo himself and create a higher peak than P-2, even if it takes a decade, I'm willing to wait for it; Why? Because it'll be worth it. It'll be worth waiting for as long as it takes to experience that unimaginable high of P-3.
Imagine P-P
Hakita did say The Gauntlet in P-2 will be the peak difficulty of any non-boss.
Cant wait for 30 of those in P-3!!
If p-1 minos was in his prison unformed.
And p-2 sissusy was formed in his prison
Would p-3 where the boss is already out of the prison?
@@Boioboip I imagine the prison being so powerful that you find the boss already having escaped, but as your presence distracts them the prison regenerates and drags them back in by surprise, and the fight ends up being you _and_ the prime soul against the prison, from the inside and outside at the same time
jesus prime
Sisyphus motto is basically:
"Life sucks and I am gonna fight it."
Hell yeah
For those wondering who voices Sisyphus, it's actually the same person who voiced the narrator from Disco Elysium!
i gotta play that game lol it seems so cool

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
Oh yeah, and Minos prime has a violin too. Gabriel’s is more plucky, while Minos’ is quicker and more distinct
To me the P-2 gauntlet has always felt like heaven and hell coming together to desperately stop you from releasing sisyphus, so that makes a lotta sense
the "and oh boy, lets fucking dance" tied in with the sands of tide leitmotif is so fucking raw no matter how many times it plays
I've watched video few times and every time that part kick in like a truck.
Meanwhile I always crack up because Sisyphus gets cut off while saying "YES"
*P-Ranking* P-2 on Violence is the actual depiction of being the one who’s rolling the rock up a hill only for it to roll back down and start over again once you die. Over and over again. Even depicting my life’s struggles.
It is by far my worst journey throughout my whole experience in Ultrakill. But I had my best support from someone and kept my head up. I’m glad I was able to P-Rank this in the end and I hope I’m able to overcome the pain and challenges in my life too.
God bless you to overcome those struggles bro/sis
but just like sisyphus, your boulder will roll back down when p-3 releases.
the transition at 5:50 was an accidental MASTERPIECE

@@Smthn_Wicked NO FUCKING WAY
the best part is that when i first beat p-2 is that my first through it "we still have p-3 to go through." that thought is still VERY relevant.
watch them pull something evil and make a P-4, gotta perfect every P level beforehand to fight Jesus prime, or Actual fucking god/Hell.
I remember getting through the entire level out of spite on a bad day on a P-Rank, shredding flesh panopticon and softlocking the game when sisyphus was MEANT to break out. But the prison was just violently shaking and nothing happened.
One must imagine V1 happy
My head-cannon for Sisyphus Prime is that he knows it's not possible for him to take down the heavens but when he meets V1 he knows that, in its bloodlust, the machine will have to face the armies of heaven so Sisyphus sees the occasion to let someone do what he never could and test V1 to be sure that it will be able to accomplish the goal for wich he was put in this misery.
Sisyphus turned Ultrakill from an FPS to a rhythm resource management game
the resource you manage is your Sanity, by the time you get to the boss you have no resources left to manage.
its like you crawled into my brain and squeezed the thoughts out.
loved the video man, especially the motivation part in the end to sum it up. would love to see more ultrakill stuff, maybe a gabriel video since he is also very complex and interesting (i wouldn't blame you if you will wait untill act 3 to see the end). looking forward to see more dude (:
never thought i would be elated after reading “its like you crawled into my brain and squeezed my thoughs out” but here we are lol
thanks a ton
"And if you land a charge back in this room you will feel like Jesus prime"
THIS VIDEO FINALLY GAVE ME THE WORDS TO DESCRIBE WHY SISYPHUS' LEITMOTIF HITS ME SO HARD. WHILE MINOS' STILL SHOWS THE HOPE OF STILL COMING OUT ON TOP, SISYPHUS' SHOWS A REALIZING THAT IT'S ENTIRELY FUTILE. AND YET HE KEEPS GOING. GOD I LOVE SISYPHUS ULTRAKILL
Nah, that's just sisyphus in general. He knows it's all pointless, but he likes it
I’ve managed to beat P-2. But god, malicious game design beats random generation every time.
Hakita really said “woe, double idol’d Mind Flayer upon ye” and just expected us to adapt.
I uh. I don’t know that I’ll ever actually P Rank P-2. But that’s okay, because I beat the challenge-have fun. I was laughing the entire time, all the bullshit just another awesome thing to deal with.
God, I love this game.
I had a similar experience with Hollow Knight's Path of Pain. I hate platforming, but I couldn't help but push on with a stupid grin on my face every time I saw a new room and all of its bullshit. Then I got to the end, got kicked back to the bench and left it at that.
I only relatively recently perfected it and i'm almost sad that I don't have any more proverbial boulders to push - atleast for now
@@aninterloper6695If you want some more challenges, I encourage you to download Angry Level Loader and play some of the stuff the community has made. I haven't found anything quite like P-2 in terms of encounter design, but there are some pretty damn though maps out there.
P ranking it was such an experience for me. I remember one time I got an s rank with 1 death and that shit taunted me for over a month before I finally got the p rank
@@kveller555same i was smiling the whole time but near the end i was getting way too frustrated at losing (at the literal last stage and it wasn't even the hardest of them all)
But after i did it i felt such relief
As a human being that did the impossible and P-ranked this (put lightly) gauntlet of a level, it is nothing compared to the amount of time and dedication it must take to make a video this in depth that it makes me and many other members of this community rethink the level as a whole. In the wise words of a man who knew only struggle: Keep 'em comin'!
Now, something to point out for newcomers, is that the first release of P-2, sisyphus was A LOT harder, as in phase 2, he was completely unparryable.
I was about to put this video on the side as some background but I was immediately captivated by the story that I had to give it my full attention, and I wasn't disappointed. The moment of realization when he said he doesn't "regret a second of it" coinciding with the "one must imagine Sisyphus happy" was so crazy to me for me I actually had my jaw drop irl. Great video
if P-2 was THIS much of an exam, im scared to even think about P-3
Bro pushed a rock for years just to get killed by a robot
I did it yesterday. I finally P ranked P2 after 5 months of learning how to do the level and to perfect fighting Sisyphus. I fucking did it. I was shaking, my heart was pounding and my friend in the call yelled “YES!” When he realized that Sisyphus was almost dead. I did it.
Looking back, I was actually exactly like Sisyphus. Coming so close to what I wanted, yet failing over and over and over again. It was painful, but beautiful.
“Ultrakill’s only dark level”
0-S and Something Wicked: “Am I a joke to you?”
0-S is another game at this point
tbh I find no tragic narrative in Sisyphus since he never truly suffer, yes he rolled a boulder for thousands of year, yes he knows that his struggles are futile in the end but in the end he was doing something he enjoyed and you can hear that in his last moments which compare to minos or even v2 who are screaming in agony while he was laughing like he enjoys his life.
you think people only suffer when they show it? why do you think there's the word 'imagine' in 'one must imagine Sisyphus happy?'
@@_sarpa I know Sisyphus suffer but the way he go out by saying "And I never regret a second of it" in such a strong way right after saying his life is defined by futile efforts makes me doubt he really doesn't truly suffer in any meaningful way. Also the "imagine" can be applied to Hatika imagining Sisyphus being happy
@@ohnoanyway6096 compare it with Nietzsche's quote: "For nothing is self-sufficient, neither in us ourselves nor in things; and if our soul has trembled with happiness and sounded like a harp string just once, all eternity was needed to produce this one event-and in this single moment of affirmation all eternity was called good, redeemed, justified, and affirmed."
I love how you played the Sands of Tide leitmotif part when you said "Let's fucking dance." That part of the song has a time signature that makes it very similar to waltz time, giving it a sort of swaying feeling. Almost like the power dynamic shifting between Sisyphus and the player
P-ranking p-2 made me so happy that i screamed hard enough to the point where my voice was sore for 2 days. Definitely one of my greatest gaming achievements. Everytime i replay p-2 I'm like "Man, I've improved so much, this part used to be AGONIZING back then"
"its a tale of struggle, defiance, and death"
hmmmmmm
i wonder who's story this reminds me of
I can do P-2's "gauntlet" just fine. It's just I die to Sisyphus too much and end up getting a C.
lol im the opposite, sisyphus himself is amazing, felt like we were just playin
the gauntlet however.... f that stalker
I honestly love the fact that the same guy who voices Harry Dubois' Traits in Disco Elysium voices Sisyphus in Ultrakill. His voice work cannot be taken lightly and always hits hard.
How in gods name are you below 1k subs. This video, like the Minos prime vid, was a wonderfully edited, scripted, recorded masterpiece that I’d expect from a channel with 100x your subscribers. Congrats and keep up the good work man, you’ll make it.

War started out below Order in my list of favorite Ultrakill tracks, but its lately been an integral part of my workout playlist that I use to run, almost always being the song I finish on to push myself just that bit further. The music and the story behind it are perfect for forcing yourself to power through it and push yourself even beyond.

Absolutely great video man! Legit gave me the inspiration to continue my P-2 p rank attempts

fucking phenomenal video, im so glad i found this on my feed. you echoed the same thoughts i had and the feelings that kept me coming back to P-2 and ultrakill in general. the thought that this is just the climax of act 2 makes me genuinely so excited for what act 3 has to offer. awesome work dude :)
ngl this video makes me think that he is a lot like sans in that he lost hope but continues anyway and knows that you can "come back"
The way you narrated this was amazing! I got actual chills when you said "you don't".
Top tier video man.
The edits and commentary were on point. Humorous but not overwhelming. Cant wait to see more of your stuff!
Edit: hooo boi a music analysis
This is such a well-documented and edited video
you're seriously underrated, yrowe, keep up the good work
I love how Sisyphus is having just as much, if not more fun, as you when you fight him. Now after I've beat him I just boot up p-2 every week or so to keep him company because it feels like a nice spar between bros
Damm that one line he said was personal “ I’m curious about your skill weapon” now that was personal for real imagine minos and Sisyphus were covered in sand the enemy trait were they don’t expel blood everywhere
Given what Sysiphs did and the measures used to contain him, I think the ARMY we will most likely fight through will be there to give Heaven time to mobilize rather than to keep the Prime Soul in this time. Edit: Reminder for those trying to obtain P-Rank, there is a Sky-Light... USE IT! True P-Rank is is going through the lead up to the boss though.
these videos are so cool man! you're definitely one of the best, if not the best ultrakill content creator out there. very entertaining, im dropping a sub :D. i swear, its always the big content creators that everyone appreciates the most because of the algorithm, but the small content creators make really awesome content too.
you using rocket jumps to keep momentum during the sisphus fight looks so fucking stylish. Keep em coming
yeah, it was something i learned when P ranking it the first time, when he was still
unparriable. i kept running out of stamina, so i would die. now i dont really need to do it but its awesome and if it aint broke dont fix it lol
Man I love it when UA-cam recommends me insane shit like this, loved it man keep it up
Wow.
What can I say? It is simply an AMAZING video, and you are underrated af
I remember seeing people complain about P-2 when it released because it wasn't just a boss. In my opinion, P2 is exactly what a gauntlet level should be in every way. Using enemy mechanics and combining them to make a greater challenge, like the Blessed enemies. It almost makes the combat itself a puzzle, in a really good way.
Minos is like you're fighting Super Saiyan Blue and Sisyphus is like fighting Ultra Instinct Goku
I loved the video. Not only you talked about the gameplay, you talked about the lore and the music. The script was also amazing i'm still thinking about what you said about finding joy in the struggle
Yo, I was waiting for Sisyphus, I know this is gonna be a good video
Anyway after watching the entire video I can say it definitely sums up all the things I've went through in Act 2. (still haven't p ranked p-2 and I don't know if it's skill issue or I'm just too lazy)
yeah p-2 is crazy hard to p rank lol
I'm sure you will manage to beat p-2.
that mindflayer room is a bitch tho.
@@MetalMustBleed I KNOWWWWW that shit is so goddamn difficult i swear i always have like 70 hard damage in that room
@@yrowethat room is probably the most evil one in the level lol, i found using the little inclines where the SM spawns helps a lot to block the projectiles. rocket jumping right before they hit is also a really good way to deflect them and get a nice speedboost too
@@MetalMustBleed for real, I'm kinda just annoyed at the tunnel room and I'm basically used to the weezer room already.

amazing video dude, i was genuinely so surprised when i saw the numbers, so im boosting them all up by 1
Beautiful. i was waiting for p-2 from you. Keep em comin
Just wait until P-3 where after you beat the flesh sphere inside it is just goku
so you're telling me that i P-ranked the Greatest Level in Fps history in 4 Weeks without losing my mind : )
oh my god i would have loved to see the reaction after that
gg
@@yrowe it was like 12 : 30 too ! (night) also i litterally have the skill to do it but my heart wouldn't let me with that much hype lol
i also only had like 4-5 try's that i actually went to the boss room😄i got better skill by fighting Sisyphus with the secret path to the Panopticon room too !
I love how this is the second part, we still have the third aka finale, and if the game so far is anything to go by, the levels by themselves will be extremely hard, bosses even harder, P ranks near impossible and I'm just waiting for basically an entire small army in p-3 before fucking God or some shit which is gonna be like a 4 phase fight where his 3rd phase moves include him coming out the computer punching you and then unplugging your computer and you know for a fact we'll love every second of it
and there is still one left... P-3 that will probably be everyones personal hell
I hope hakita adds a secret prime sanctum in P-3 called P-P, where you have to p-rank the whole game, including the other prime sanctums, and the P-P boss better be Gabriel Prime I mean hakita must be giving Gabriel this character arc for a reason I would imagine it like this : after act 2 where Gabriel kills the council and shows the head to everyone in heaven they get scared of him but don't do anything because even tho they may would be able to overthrow him with armys his will to Destroy the machine would not let him die then at the end of act 3 after v1 beats him once again. The Angles see this as an opportunity to imprison the weakend Gabriel because he is a great threat to heaven they decide to lock him up deep in their last prison(P-3), where he awaits the machines arrival
Very Much Doubt It
Gabriel is just as great as he is
We don’t need a 4th fucking boss fight against him. His arc is done after the 3rd fight and will be the ending of Ultrakill
Also, unsure if P-P will exist in the future. It’ll be cool along side P-S.
Two more Prime Souls to fight
p-p nor p-s will happen, he's busted it long ago
The “Keep em coming” with knowing they can’t win as the player comes back with more knowledge each time that does seem to fit not giving any shits about that
bro i watched this video and felt so inspired that i hopped back on p-2 violent and i p-ranked it for the first time thanks man!!!
This boss’s lore is legit if masochism and sadism had a child and it chose to become spite itself

really? its an honor to have you here. plus that shit is hilarious so thanks for making it
@@yrowe thx, it's a shame one or two songs got removed so it's no longer perfect, but it was nice doing it
its like the reference when minos says "die" in reference to the fact that you will die
It's a rare treat to find a content creator who is both CRAZY at the game they play AND putting out quality content. This vid is top notch man! KEEP EM COMIN'🔥
P-2 was such a rush that when I first got into the huge gauntlet of it, I just started making incoherent noises in vc with my friend from the sheer adrenaline and rush from what I was seeing on my screen.
P-ranking this level made me cry and almost throw up
I love it
the ending was very poetic. I can't wait to get back into this.
I only just found this video, but this video was fucking amazing
at 11:00 a correction: sishipus soul was already formed where as minos's wasnt , it is remarkable in the spawn animation
To fix your arm problem: you can bind each arm to separate buttons so for example you could leave feedbacker as f and set the knuckleblaster to g and leave whiplash as r
Sisyphus saying *"this prison, to hold, ME?"* still sends chills down my spine to this day
I cant imagine how hakita is going to make P-3 any better than this, but i look forward to see it
I recommend using the RcHud mod if you want to have some more functionality for the crosshair HUD, including showing your selected fist and railcannon meter, among some other neat stuff. It's so nice having that information there that I just can't play without it now.
Excellent video on a great level. When I first beat p-1 and p-2 I told myself that p ranking them was the one thing I would just never do in this game no matter what especially since I play on controller. 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.
It's probably the best feeling in gaming to try a challenge you know you'll never beat, just for fun, but you end up actually beating it
As Max0r once said, “Humans weren’t made for this. We’re supposed to be threshing wheat and dying of smallpox”
This just gets me more excited for P-3, it's going to be so good!
I still remember my p-rank run on Violent P-2, it was so exhilarating. Like you said I had given the task tons of tries up until that point but on that attempt everything just clicked and by the time I had made it to sissyphus there was just no way I was going to lose, it was beautiful.
i think this is one of the first ultrakill videos i’ve ever watched.
“Keep em’ coming!” - Sisyphus
This level is definitely something else. I had loved this game with such a passion and decided to take my crack at P ranking this level. I tried, tried, tried, and tried, and after a while I broke. I physically uninstalled because this level kept staring me in the face every time I opened it. I couldn't stand to think about the the blood red city in the opening, so I stopped. I came back recently for the arsenal update, and didn't even know about the Layer 7 update either because I had stopped keeping up with it and played the new content, tried the weapons, and got the jackhammer shotgun too. All the while, the "Prime Sanctum" button was staring me in the face. I had took my cracks at the level for the the first time since October, and after a full day and a half grind heard Sisyphus claim how he never regretted a second of his life as I slide down the chamber to the P-rank screen. My my my did it feel so damn good. This level is one of the greatest in FPS history, I think the ONLY thing holding it back is the duo mindflayer room as I genuinely don't find it fun, but the rest of the rooms are fantastic.
Awesome! I've been waiting for this one.
The level makes me think, that all those enemies are there trying to stop You from make sisyphus to scape
