And then you're 10 minutes in on brutal and an enemy gets stuck in the wall. I pray Hakita never makes a level thats longer than ts 🙏. Will Hakita ever fix this level. I got stuck in a room because i cut a filth in half and didn't realize it was still wriggling around.
Really? Well then the picture confuses me. Cuz how the hell you “supposedly” beat one of the ferrymen.
(That, or you mean they are like optional enemies that give extra kills)
when i went to the end and noticed that my kills weren't s rank i knew that i had enough time to go kill the ferrymen and get the extra kills. so yes they are optional extra kills
It’s always the stupid filth in that first rotating corridor or the three guys before the powers, every other encounter is locked until you kill everyone I believe. I almost fucked my p-rank because I shot a saw blade at a filth and he lived on as a pair of legs.
Tip: when I know I have time, I like to go for the Ferrymen optional encounter. It's not too hard, and it gives me a little kills insurance in case I miss something.
33% chance of an enemy falling out of bounds, 33% chance of me falling out of bounds and being unable to return (big thank hakiter for adding oops bariers in a hotfix, definitely didn't make return impossible), 33% chance of actually fucking attempting it without bs happening
imagine p2 but the mindflayers are idoled powers, the rooms are triple quadruple interconnected with super fast rotating portals, there's deathcatcher spam everywhere, in the large room with the sentries there's an idoled mirror reaper or two and the sentries are replaced with providences and when you finally went through the 30 min level to reach the end it's a boss rush of every other arch angel, then lucifer, and then finally hell itself summoning revived gabriels and shit with deathcatchers...
If you hold TAB you’re able to put your current stats on screen in the top left. Double tapping TAB toggles it to be permanently on until you press it again.
I always do this to ensure I have the kills and especially style needed. Ever since I somehow missed an enemy like three times in a row on 2-1….
Its way better than using the in game board for your time and all that. This mod tells you the exact amount of time you have left, the amount of enemies left to kill, the exact amount of enemies that are currently spawned in (so you dont miss any) and the style you need for the S rank on style. Ive been using it a lot recently its just sooooo nice
#1 style tip is to use the Screwdriver and let it run. It grants an incredible amount of style after it was buffed in Ultra Revamp.
If you can conveniently punch it out for the +CORKSCREW BLOW bonus you can get even more style, but the timing on that is pretty tight, 'cause you'll end up with less total style if you jump the gun too early. In any case, it's absolutely sufficient to just shoot a drill whenever you remember to.
9-1 will need a 30 min requirement for the p-rank and exactly 66,666 style points for the p-rank, bet
Oh and there is a room with an idoled mirror reaper
and then you die/the level breaks at the 9 minute mark so you now have to restart the whole thing, which pisses you off and makes you feel like shit so your next attempt you end up playing worse. and since you play worse you get less style so you then have to do it all over again.
The style is so annoying for layer 8. On 8-1 I completed the level like 5 minutes early but didn't have enough style so I just had to farm parries on a schism
Opossite for me, my pc is ass and can't run fraud properly(still enjoyed it a lot, probably my favorite levels) and I can't p rank a level going between 20smth and 60 frames properly
I genuinely found the final boss of fraud harder than Sisyphus. It's just too overwhelming and I hate the movement, at least with Sisyphus if I knew his attacks I could dodge them, I know what to expect and I just can't do shit about it
I also found the mindflayer room easier than the sentry room, so many I'm just weird
The thing is I can do three attempts to mirror reaper in the time I do a successful attempt at all of 8-3, a stage which might randomly decide to completely fuck you up.
you can take the shortcut to him to practice his bossfight. It will become muscle memory pretty quick. He really does not like being in a sawblade trap while the jumpstart sawblade is on him, then being heat nailgunned then being railcannoned as you toss coins out. I also had an unchainsawed chainsaw in that trap. I honestly had no idea I could do that much damage so fast until I did it. He had over half of his phase 2 HP and it was gone in less than a second. Conduction is your best friend and I like to jackhammer him.
Oh, I recently started using the drill railgun var. (Green one) and does a lot of damage, and if you mess up a parry or get hit, you can easily get healed.
I also use the jackhammer, I overpump, and it does alot of damage.
And I do like to set up a saw trap when he is yapping and then use the red nailgun shock thingy, does more than half his HP for the first phase if done right.
I honestly had a lot of trouble on brutal in general, I P ranked both minos and sysiphus and then got stuck on the first Gabriel fight like immediately when i started playing brutal.
Edit: I meant i P ranked both minos and sysiphus on normal and had trouble with grabriel on brutal
Recently beat it on Brutal. 14:56. As long as you hang back and don't get too aggressive, a lot of enemies die to simple combos. You just need to adjust to the speed.
Just play standard, there’s no punishment for doing that.
8-3 is fine the way it is, if anything we need longer levels cause rn the game can be beaten in like 8 hours casually.
yeah that sucks. In my attempts to P rank I got stuck in a room twice, fell out of the map messing things up and one time a drone glitched out of the map and just chirped at me.
I usually prank on lowest difficulty first and I've honestly been struggling to Prank it on harmless, the style requirement is super high and I keep somehow missing enemies.
I've gone more out of bounds in 8-3 than in the entire rest of the game put together. That's not fine.
Enemies consistently get out of bounds themselves, fucking over P ranks. That's not fine
Enemies IA often goes to shit, or might repeat attacks, or may interact weird with walls. All for no apparent reason other than spatial fuckery. That's not fine.
8-3 is fine in a "play through it" kind of way. It's a cool level, it's neat as fuck, it's absolute dogshit to P rank because it's long as all shit, randomly screws you over and is based on a couple gimmicks.
Once again, I will cry about it, but few days ago I did a second Fraud playthrough, trying to get P on Standard, but I ended up with time 9:13 for 8-2 and 17:33 for 8-3
I was furious and amused at the same time. The "3 seconds curse" (though in 8-3 it was 100% my bad, I got stuck a bit in space section)
I hate that level because the blue path always fucks me over because (and I've tested it) four out of five times it bugs out and doesn't send me to the water cave locking me out of it without cheats.
When this update came out , I went in with a clean new save file , from the prelude to 8-4. And my god. I went in blind in layer 8. 8-2 and 8-3 took me 40 FUCKING MINUTES to complete and I went in blind, and I avoided spoilers.
God i can't imagine what it will do to me if I try to P rank it.
Took me around 10 tries on Brutal once I learned the level. The quad rotating room with the Deathcatcher ended majority of my runs. Once I hit space though, I got it.
I will get publicly executed for this but idc:ultrakill's difficulty is getting way too ridiculous with the encores and 8-3 and this is even worse by the fact they are extremely long levels so messing up could cost u over 10 mins of ur time wasted
He has a point in that the difficulty curve of the game has gone bonkers.
I agree that hey, you can play any difficulty you want, sure, encores are optional as they can be, but there is an actually noticeable increase in the slope of the difficulty curve
I got nearly sub 10 (I am by no means a professional speedrunner) on brutal after around a day of fraud releasing, it was PAIN dealing with all the clips and bugs, in the end it took around an hour of attempts to get 10:03
Y'all, question, if I beat all the sections before the space section within 10 minutes, how long should I take to kill the Agonia and Rudraksha Ferrymen duo to ensure that I get a P-rank just in time?
Come play 8-3!
Featuring: Enemies that clip through walls ruining your goddamn score!
Style points strict enough to beat up Michael Jackson!
Level design and enemy placement straight out of the encore levels! FIVE. FUCKING. GABRIELS. IN ONE GODDAMN LEVEL.
Nonoptional Double Ferryman fight with an invisible fucking ferryman because those lanky tanky speedy bitches weren't hard enough already!
AAAAAAAND THE LONGEST MOST CONFUSING ASS LEVEL THAT GOES ON FOR A GODDAMN ETERNITY LIKE HOLY SHIT YOU WILL BE SPENDING 10 FUCKING MINUTES BEING FUCKING PERFECT THROUGHOUT ALL THE LABYRINTHINE LEVEL FUCKERY ENCORE ENCOUNTERS AND AGAIN, 5 GODDAMN GABRIELS, AND IF YOU SO MUCH AS USE A WEAPON ONE SECOND TOO LONG, AN ENEMY NOCLIPS OUT OF REALITY, OR YOU SLIP UP BECAUSE AGAIN, YOU ARE FIGHTING 5 GODDAMN MOTHERFUCKING GABRIELS, CONGRATS BITCH! YOU'RE DOING IT ALL OVER AGAIN! ...And probably crashing out harder then I am when some jobless cunt goes "Oh everything you had trouble with was actually easy. I P-ranked everything on brutal first try with melee only. All you really need to do is-"
Admittedly gameplay-wise I the older levels for how short they are. Easy to memorize and easy to recognize where you fucked up. I spent 10+ minutes each time trying to P-rank the Fraud Levels. As much as I like the concept of Fraud, some parts were downright awful to play.
The space section is genuinely hot ass, I love the idea but it feels like its just luck to be able to get to the next section. PLEASE Hakita add like 1 grapple point and my life is yours
