Thanks for reading. :) muda muda muda - minos - Hry
I love Merg just going in and then realizing after a bit, "Yep, there are no tricks, there is no out-dps-ing the boss. You just have to do better." And then immediately starts to do the perfectly correct thing to do, learning the boss' patterns.
i don't think he know's about comboing core eject and red rail-cannon otherwise known as the bah-ha-blast
@@polybius-jy5rcThe comment was about how he approached boss fight not about niche mechanic
@@Markkbonk i know but the mal-rail+core eject is the most optimal way (to my knowledge at least) to execute the eye's, so him not using it and still taking only, like, 7-10 minute's to kill off the prison is in my opinion quite impressive.
Reading Minos like a book.
no out-dps-ing the boss? oh you sweet summer child.
fun fact: minos doesn’t teleport, he is canonically so fast that you cant see him move

@@justarandomdude.8907missed the joke
To be a sort of Pacifist, Minos Prime surely knows how to dropkick someone into their skulls...
You’ve gotta demonstrate the judiciary system of hell somehow (spoilers: it’s manually)
Peace is an option, and gabriel chose violence.
the moment when minos says "and thy punishment is ULTRAKILL", he shows us a judiciary system of hell.
Well he always had that deep in his soul. But dropkicking isn't easy when you are seven-story tall.
(holy shit it rhymes)
Pacifism doesn't apply to OBJECTS
Minos Prime often says “Die!”. This is a subtle nod to the fact that he will kill you. This reference is best observed on Violence Difficulty.
its violent
he will ULTRAKILL you
Now best observed on Brutal Difficulty.
i love how quickly the cherry boi went from "Youre a faker youre a fraud i killed the real you, kneel before the devil death machine..whatever we are" to "I would like to apologize for my behaviour Minos please spare me"

One of my favorite part of Ultrakill is the fact that if you play well enough and extremely enough, all the audio becomes so loud it explodes into silence for a few seconds.
If you aren't overloading your sound chip every 2 seconds you aren't playing correctly
If you ain’t maintaining ur ULTRAKILL style for 25 hours a day you are not gaming

Merg: *accidentaly stares at Minos ass* "oh wrong side"
90% of ultrakill community: "NO THAT'S THE BEST SIDE"
Minussy
NO NO NOT THAT MINOSSY
I just wait for Merg to see the fitting end to an existence defined by futile struggle, doomed from the very start...
One thing for sure, he WON'T regret a SECOND of it
And then he laughs like HAHAHAHHAHAHAGHAHAHAHHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHHAHHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHHA
MMMMMMM, can't wait for it
YOU CANT ESCAPE
He will do as an apppetizer
at 14:07, the song plays part of the “requiem” motif, which is the song that plays in the the second level of the lust layer- which is minos’s kingdom. the same motif also appears in the song “glory”, which plays in the first gluttony level- where the p door is that leads to where minos is.
EVERY TIME i hear that motif, its just so sad.- minos built and fought for his kingdom with the belief that loving one another was not a sin. yet, gabriel ended minos' kingdom. in a game solely about merciless ultrakilling, minos was the only one i ACTUALLY regretted killing.
hakita really do be producing toby fox level music though
I wonder if anyone noticed the similarity in the structure of order, hopes and dreams?
requiem plays in 2-2, not 2-1
it also seems to signify something else, since the motif plays in 6-1 and a few other places
My favorite part of Order
possibly above toby 🤔
Me after reading minos lore while requiem motif is playing: 😢
the fact that he beat flesh prison in 10 minutes is pretty impressive. as for minos...well, he did about as well as could be expected.
and without nuking. imagine how much quicker it would be if he did use nuking.
I stuggled more with Flesh Prison than I did with Pinos, suprisingly.
Minos is easy, just parry the attacks, with flesh prison one eye you dont shoot is an extra 10 seconds of fighting that spinning cube
@@joe_dian "minos is easy just get good"
@@kindagamer525 same here.
Minos was predicable and his voicelines pretty much said everything that was happening
the prison was just chaos, plus you couldn't parry so healing was not optimal

Seeing merg run towards minos with a shotgun without hesitation is the most bold and badass thing merg ever done. Damn
Great to see Merg know what "JUDGEMENT" finally means to the ULTRAKILL community.
Hopefully he will also get to find out what, "KEEP EM COMING" means as well.
Honestly really happy to see the sheer amount of giddyness and happiness in Merg's voice when he first encounters Minos Prime. Reminds me of my first fight with Minos. One of the best bossfights I've ever had the pleasure of fighting.
eh, [THE PERSON IN QUESTION]'s voicelines are good, but there's something different about minos' voicelines in my opinion
@@OofatorI like (person in question's) voice lines better tbh i get why he was feared just by listening his voice
it can be hard to compare minos’s and (person in question)’s voice lines as they both fight for different reasons. one for his people and fairness, the other for thrill. you can really hear it in their voices
@@OofatorStephen Whyte has way more voice acting experience than the guy who voiced (the person in question)
I personally like how deep and menacing (the person in question)’s voice is in the (encounter in question)
the most fascinating part is how it feels to know the audio cues, and know exactly whats going to happen next, only for you to die to it. like i need to remind myself you havent learned all of it yet, but when i hear the windup for when minos launches a projectile, and you arent looking, only to turn around last second to see a snake about to demolish you- its just so funny lmao

Attacks like judgement can only be dodged with a dash since you get brief i-frames while dashing, parrying the attack doesn't negate the damage hitbox and is only there to offer extra damage and a heal, but you definitely have the right idea by constantly sliding.
Also, parrying fully restores your stamina, which is something you NEED to keep in mind going forward.
He’s playing in standard so in his first phase judgement can be parried, second phase tho you can parry but you still remain on 50hp if you don’t have hard damage
@@wanou_4259 he's on violent, has been since he started doing p-ranks
@@wanou_4259he is playing in violent.
@@wanou_4259 he is playing on violent wym
@@wanou_4259merg switched to violent when he started p ranks
That was awesome seeing you adapt to Minos's attacks by learning the attack parry timings, you made it way harder for yourself by playing on Violent as well, as this is the only reason why his attacks were no longer payyable in phase 2, there is still another surprise for you when you P rank all of Act 2, hoping you will get to experience that too :) and no P-3 is not currently in the game but will be in the future
My only takeaway from this video is that Merg doesn't know that dashing gives you I-frames.
However, when the time comes for you to P-rank P-1, I will leave tips for you here.
His attacks and combos may be random, but they always have a cue as you learned.
Phase 2 (On violent difficulty) will cause Minos' Melee attacks to become unparryable, leaving room to heal only near projectile summons.
His famous JUDGEMENT attack should be followed by the inputs F (to parry) and then Shift (to dodge the explosive shockwave).
His funny DIE attack can be easily dodged with a jump + dash combo.
On the topic of air-time, DON'T. His attacks Punish you when you're in the air, keep your feet on the ground.
Don't forget about your weapons alt fire, they can damage Minos severely.
THY END IS NOW can be easily strafed, a simple change in direction + slide makes it nearly impossible to be hit by it.
PREPARE THYSELF includes a front attack, an attack following your movement, and then a snake projectile, it's recommended to slide in a circle before parrying the snake.
Whenever Minos does 'PREPARE THYSELF' or 'THY END IS NOW', he will stop whatever he does then and uppercut you if you're in midair.
CRUSH is activated when you are below Minos directly, either from the uppercut of some funny ULTRA-JANK.
Now, time for optional lore and my thoughts on the character Minos himself.
Minos was a judge of hell, sent to punish the sins of those entering. Minos thought the punishment the sinners went through was cruel and unjust. So when God decided to abandon earth as he did over and over again, he took the chance to reform the Lust Layer as the heavens were left in CHAOS. But when a new ORDER, The Council, was established, they saw it as "going against gods will", so they sent Gabriel, who was blindly led by his trust in god, to end Minos. Minos, who was still a husk, tried to reason, but Gabriel ended Minos and set him as the example of those who defied God. Now dawning the Judge of Hell title, he went to re-instigate obedience in GREED. Minos, whose pure willpower to bring his people to safety, tried to form into a prime soul. Before it could form any further than a ball of light, the heavens trapped him in the Flesh Prison, forcing him to see his lifeless corpse tear down the city he worked so hard to build for his people. Overall, Minos is an amazing character, I love the fact that he does not teleport, BUT HE MOVES SO FAST AND SO DETERMINED THAT HE TEARS APART THE FLOOR GETTING TO YOU. His willpower is reflected in his battle, and his personality is top notch. He sees you as one capable of thought, and in extent sees you are responsible for killing those he held dear, so he fights you. He could have easily abandoned Lust and kill Gabriel out of revenge, but the thought of his people falling kept him going to kill you over and over again. He, deep down, knows he can't win. He knows that you are rebuilt again and again and again (for reasons I shall discuss in P-2) but yet he fights for his people. This is reflected in his song as well, with the leitmotif heard in REQUIEM. Knowing the lore of his character can make one break hearing the song. He just wanted a better world for his people, and he was punished for his beliefs.
And now I send off, reminding you with what I started with, Dashing gives I-frames. I hope you remember that in P-2 because you are GONNA NEED IT.
Insane. You didn't even go for looking the strategy up, you just went all in. You are one cracked gamer, Merg.
You don't have to P rank Minos Prime to unlock the next Prime Sanctum, as there are indeed 2 currently. You just need to P rank the ACT II layers for it... If you're up for the challenge though, go for it!
At least that'll mentally prepare you before whatever terror will come next... Trust me, you need the most optimal energy and focus because IT will DRAIN you. Have fun!
57:34 - Please Merg, with all due respect, never say that ever again.
If you intend to P rank P-1 there's a few tricks you should know:
1: Core nuke (core eject shot with a malicious railcannon) is one of the best ways to kill most of the eyes, if done perfectly you can sometimes kill all of them in one go.
2: Dealing damage to the prison reduces its heal clock faster.
3: Parrying the projectile spam is one of the most reliable ways to heal during the prison fight and allows you to do some decent damage.
4: During the Minos fight, stay on the ground as much as you can, all of his combo attacks that end in parryable attacks will end the second you're in the air to uppercut you instead.
5: Because of this, it is very easy to lure Minos into saw traps for high damage.
6: During Minos' second phase on violent difficulty, all of his combos stop being parryable except for his projectiles.
7: Parrying does not stop him from completing some of his attacks.
8: The snake projectiles home in very very aggressively, if you miss the parry, its probably going to hit you, its best to try and direct it straight into a wall or the floor.
9: He's a stupid anime villain that screams out all of his attacks before attacking, if you're familiar with his moveset, you don't even have to look at him to avoid his attacks lol.
10: While sliding is a very useful tool, don't forget to dash.
11: A really good way to instantly heal to full in the Minos fight is to use an electric railcannon shot at point blank. Alternatively you COULD use the screwdriver but if you tried to parry him while its active it would be disabled.
12: Practice aiming at coins without needing to slide in one direction and shoot forward, being able to pay attention to the fight and use the coins at the same time will save you alot of trouble.
13: Speaking of coins, try shooting a coin with a charged piercer shot, the damage is comparable to a railgun.
14: The best way to get damage out of the cannonball shot against a single target is to shoot it point blank and projectile boost it as soon as it hits the target so it hits them twice.
15: Unlike the core grenade, shooting the cannonball with a railgun gives no different effect from shooting it with a revolver.
I don't think Minos is villain :o
He's just the King Of Lust, that wanted good for his people
He's a man of justice, so ofc he would try to avenge people V1 killed :p

@@octosushi013 Not enough for his Undertale skill to be irrelevant here. Undertale shows Merg is good at these kind of videogames with hard and fast-paced battles where you dodge attacks.

people are going to *Wait Of the World* for Merg to entirely P-Rank Act 2.
in terms of difficulty, p-2 to p-1 is what p-1 is to the base game. i still hear "BEGONE" echoing through my ears while i'm sleeping
@@OofatorYeah it is but I somehow beaten P-2 just with like 10 deaths, I really don't know how. But Pranking it was a lot harder than P-1, that's for sure
@@flatern22parala.s it was 23 tries for me. wasn't too bad, but the p-ranking was painful. now that i've learned everything, i can consistently get a p-rank on it though, which is nice.
Also core shotgun blast (blue shotgun right click) + malicious head red blaster weapon does pretty good dmg and range so it’ll prob be good for the eye balls and remember for the other prime boss you need to stay on your toes to keep up with him………….
What kinda monster nukes retina?

@@hyperfatalerrorhfe1902 man, you a terrible opticular surgeoni
Fun fact:
When minos says "WEAK" and "USELESS" he is actually referring to himself, saying he is weak and useless for letting his people be slaughtered and not being able to stop it.
Minos is the type of guy to say "DIE" and then actually just kill you
"Minos is what's a called "prime soul", meaning that his willpower is so strong that he doesn't need his husk to manifest and promptly break your neck."
- wise person in minos prime's theme
All jokes aside, Minos Prime is considerably the best boss in all FPS games, it gives the players a challenge after completing the game, it's also a fan favorite character in Ultrakill.
Also i love his Theme (Heaven Pierce Her - Order) it reflects his tragedy to the Lust layer and himself, the motif on this song is the best part so far (Requiem).
I also love he went insane 17 minutes in the video, it just shows that Minos Prime is basically hurting you, even in real life.
i’d say minos is the best fps boss and p-2 is the best fps level, i dont like p-2s boss as much (trying to avoid spoiling it)

You can parry the projectile one a lot more easily if you don't turn away from it. Make sure you look right at it (same goes for other parry-able attacks)
This game seems to be total chaos
@NumberOneRated1997 yo yop
Hey, just so you know this game has a sandbox mode you can access from the chapter select. Also you should be charging your blue revolver more, it deals a lot more damage that way. And you can use the whiplash (grappling hook) to pickup skulls/candles. and if your thinking about p-ranking Minos on violent...
GOOD LUCK
Bro actually did what I did for Minos prime, he just learned his parriable attacks and just went ham and cheese on him. A true swag lord indeed.
11:28
"Creature of steel..."
- thats mi... // > w < //
Minos Prime says "Die!" during his fight.
This is a subtle reference to the fact that he will kill you.
If you're wondering how to differentiate parriable attacks more easily, the ones you can't parry have a special squeaky sound, you can easily hear it from street cleaners (flame thrower guys)
the blue and yellow flash is easier to notice
@@TheCommanderTDSreal in close range attacks yeah, but attacks that are hard to see like crush or die it's easier to hear the parry sound
Yellow sparkles, unlike blue sparkles, doesn't explictily state that an attack is unparriable because that would remove the use of the blue sparkles. But everything blue-toned doesn't mean they are unparriable too, blue skull bullets are a great thing to use against flesh prison.
If you're going to P-Rank P-1 you really should use the Core-Eject + Railcannon combo because that clears most if not all of the summons of flesh prison, keep in mind you don't need to fully charge the core eject because the charge it's just the range.
17:52 people have speculated that he's actually calling himself weak for losing half his health to a stranger, and so he's disappointed in himself and tries harder (:
I am so glad that you decided to play Ultrakill. For a good few weeks now I have been obsessed with the game, and your first video had popped up on my fyp.

I forgot how enjoyable it is to watch you play games, and interact with your community as if it were your family. You also happened to be the one to get me into Omori, which is now (as you can see) one of my favorite games. So thank you Merg, for the glorious content, and take care.

Soul Survivor P-rank tips :)
Flesh Prison:
- Remember the nuke? This is the best way to open the fight. Wait until all the eyes and mini Maurices spawn and the throw a nuke close to the center of FP, that'll do big damage AND kill most (if not all) the eyes and mini Maurices. After that, you can whiplash FP and get the DPS going
- The sawblade is really good here! Stick a magnet to FP and shoot all the blades for big damage, but keep in mind the following: the green bar is the amount of time left until the next heal, and if you do too much damage in a short period of time, next green bar will go down VERY fast.
- Marksman is very good here. Learn the timing in most directions and while sliding. Remember that the coin's momentum will ALWAYS be the same for a specific direction, so it's easy to build up muscle memory. Being able to hit the coin while it shines will, as you know, split the coin into two, and this is really useful for the FP fight.
- Don't attack the FP until all eyes are dead. The FP fight can take a long time which will definitely hurt your P-rank, and if it ends up healing, then chances are your P-rank is lost because you won't have enough time for Minos.
Minos Prime:
- Learn his voicelines and what attack is following each. All his attacks except Judgement can be very easily dodged by strafing in one direction (in a circle) or sliding in one direction (also in a circle). You'll realize it's almost like you're dancing with Minos.
- Keep yourself on the ground at all times. Being in the air will make Minos do the uppercut attack followed by Die attack.
- Don't forget about the dash's immunity frames! You can dash through the shockwaves with this. And on the topic of I-frames, you can overpump the pump shotgun to make it blow up, and shooting and dashing at the same time will make you take no damage at all. The overpump is very strong for normal P-ranks. Aaaaaand speaking of the pump shotgun, pumping it and then projectile boosting makes no difference in damage, the only thing that pumping does is shoot more bullets and projectile boosting only affects one of your bullets (the one you punch).
- In some moments of peace, you can do some damage with your coins. It's better to throw all the coins at once and then shoot them instead of throwing and shooting one at a time. Throwing all the coins at once will end up dealing more damage overall.
I'll keep the tips short, because It's more fun letting you figure out more strategies on your own ;) Good luck
Holy crap it has been so long since I have seen one of your videos. So happy to see you are still making content!
57:00 Cyber Grind's square just shows you your wave number, you cannot P rank it or anything like that. P-3 also isn't out yet since Act 3 isn't, but very good job Merg, very cool video and I can't wait for Act 2!
You did WAAYYYY better than me.
It took me like an hour to get past Flesh Prison.
Tip for P Ranking Act 2:
Don't be afraid to P Rank the easier levels first, trust me, it took me days to do 4-2.
4-2 is the 1-3 of act 2
god awful
This was one of the only reasons i started to watch this playthrough, and now, finally, he does it. thank you
A feature about Prime Souls that isn’t directly mentioned in the terminal tabs: Prime Souls have characteristics of who they were directly imprinted on their soul.
For Minos: A hole for a face represents his selflessness. A crown with buildings and skyscrapers representing that he put his city above all else. A clear body telling us that he never hid anything from his subjects, he was brutally honest. Finally, an overgrown heart expressing his love for all to see.
To quote a comment on a video with Order and Minos’ voice lines: “Minos truly deserved the title of “king”.”
Yeah
Merg a good way of killing the eyes are coins or a nuke witch is preformed by firing a core eject and using the malicious face canon on the core eject
PS: you should dash more it really helps in the minos PRIME boss fight
found this so fast bro
Now that you've defeated Minos Prime, KEEP EM COMING and p-rank act two, someone *similar yet even stronger* than minos is having THE WAIT OF THE WORLD for you to arrive.
and that simillar guy can make THIS WILL HURT
ultrakill fans try to not spoil everything challenge (impossible)
to summarize this prime terminal without spoilers from the other terminals:
Science dudes create machines (terminals) that can destroy a thing and use the energy generated from that to reconstruct that same thing atom by atom in another place, as a test they sent through a vinyl record from the surface to hell, it worked but due to reasons stated in the next terminal the project of mankind entering hell was cancelled so they never did anything with that technology (that record is as you noticed, the one that is playing every time you come near a terminal)
the last line about singing implies the terminals are sentient, and have now as theyve been abandoned and devoid of original purpose developed a relationship with the surviving machines down in hell, all of the hell terminals communicate between one another, so basically the style system, rankings shop etc. is inside of the games own canon and not just a out of game thing the player can do
for what reason are they doing this?
find out next prime terminal :3
By the way, I noticed you trying to dodge the blue projectiles shot by the mindflayers and the prison and never parrying them. To clarify, it's not the *blue-colored* attacks that are unparriable, it's the attacks that have a *blue flash* come before them. The blue flash also has a distinct sound effect different from the yellow flash. The blue projectiles can be parried just like the red ones, which is important considering there's a lot more mindflayers to come.
I think he did parry them against druid Knight
Congratulations! You have officially beaten the 2nd Hardest challenge the game currently has to offer...
P2 is quite hard, and P3 is not here yet, but will most likely gonna make people go bald... I assume there will be a new secret boss after all Prime Sanctums are beaten... That would be fun...
I feel like you'd enjoy Elden Ring for some reason... I dunno
The first time i tried beating something called P3 it took me 3 months, now im glad i dont play ultrakill
yooo i just realized you're uploading ultrakill. nice!
I've been watching you for so long and seeing you play my favorite game is a dream come true
I hope Merg is ready for P-Ranking Act 2.
Also, he should check the Hall of Shame after beating P-2. (If he even does.)
Hall of shame?
@@sleeper6548its the credit thing but hakita turn it into a museum for uh idk fun ?
@@TheCommanderTDSreal oh thaaat, i remember, its called hall of shame? i didn't noticed
@@sleeper6548 thats the credits museum
I think this really shows what was the worst part about that one sans fight: it had no respect for your time. A death in this means you can be back in the fight in seconds, and back at the point you were at within a minute. Even ignoring just that it means you're trying again quicker, it just means you're not left with long stretches of time where your mind can mellow on it's annoyance.
Good job Merg! In my opinion you're really underrated. I subbed just now but i've been watching your content for a couple of months, not sure why I didn't subscribe before. Can't wait for you to continue with this game and reach the next boss, keep it up 💪
" You aren't the real minos, I already killed the corpses, you're a fake. You're a little icicle!" Got me rolling 17:19
its videos like these that make me feel better about my skill. its been about 4 months since ive gone through some upheaval in life and i no longer have computer access. worried ive been getting rusty at this game- and i most definitely have- but oh man seeing your reaction times to parrying minos is making me feel like im seeing things in quicksilver mode lmfao
‘Reward’, huh?
13:25 “H-hey man! We can team up-“
“DIE”
you have been preparing thyself for this very moment (and i have been very much looking forward to this)
you actually crushed this one nice job ^^ absolutely love minos prime lol
This videos just make my day better
I have been waiting for this moment from the start of the series.
8:36
"Die."
Now THIS, is what I call foreshadowing.
Very epic video, I’ve been waiting to see this since the start of the series :)
Friendly reminder for the future Merg, dashing gives full on eye frames so use them well (and trust me you will need to). Sliding should mostly be used when you have to save some dashes or when you have no dashes at all.
this channel got recommended to me after years. I’m so ecstatic its unreal.
Fun Fact: Despite canonically not teleporting and just moving faster than you can see, the game still considers his movements as hitscan.
He is literally as fast as bullets.
I sure am excited to see how you deal with P-2. So great watching your content again, you've practically made up the entirety of my middle school period.
as others have stated, keep in mind that dashing gives you invincibility frames. im not sure you noticed, but judgement always hit you even when parried, and that is by design, judgement is IMPOSSIBLE to dodge without the dash i-frames
It's amazing to see how Merg slowly getting better, and the more attempts he made, the better he is. I can't even beat violent for few months and you destroy P-1, great job Merg :D
Can't wait for P-2!
