    To clarify I think we all know the deal with how these videos work, typically I play a game and cover its entire story. This time however, I will be covering the entire lore of specifically layer 7 of Ultrakill. When all content has been released I will combine said videos in addition to adding in a few extra details and corrections for a full lore video.

    In case ya'll didn't know I do intend on making a full lore video of Act 3! When all layers, secrets and the final pantheon have been released I will be covering everything else I missed into a collection of one video
    Oh yeah, as I was exporting the video I found out that to my horror I missed a text in 7-4. The text reads as follows:
    "THIS IS THE ONLY WAY IT COULD HAVE ENDED.
    WAR NO LONGER NEEDED ITS ULTIMATE PRACTICIONER. IT HAD BECOME A SELF-SUSTAINING SYSTEM. MAN WAS CRUSHED UNDER THE WHEELS OF A MACHINE CREATED TO CREATE THE MACHINE TO CRUSH THE MACHINE. SAMSARA OF CUT SINEW AND CRUSHED BONE. DEATH WITHOUT LIFE. NULL OUROBOROS. ALL THAT REMAINED IS WAR WITHOUT REASON.
    A MAGNUM OPUS. A COLD TOWER OF STEEL. A MACHINE BUILT TO END WAR IS ALWAYS A MACHINE BUILT TO CONTINUE WAR. YOU WERE BEAUTIFUL, OUTSTRETCHED LIKE ANTENNAS TO HEAVEN. YOU WERE BEYOND YOUR CREATORS. YOU REACHED OUT FOR GOD, AND YOU FELL. NONE WERE LEFT TO SPEAK YOUR EULOGY. NO FINAL WORDS, NO CONCLUDING STATEMENT. NO POINT. PERFECT CLOSURE.
    T H I S I S T H E O N L Y W A Y I T S H O U L D H A V E E N D E D ."
    Not sure what this means as of now, but I'll let the text sit with me for a while until I can analyse it. Comment your thoughts and let me know what other lore you want covered next!
    (I apologise for this rookie mistake).

    Earthmovers are the only other Supreme Machines other than V1 & 2, and the Earthmovers acknowledged you, an ant to it and very rightly saw you as a threat to be eliminated.
    V1's specs makes sense when you think about how the Earthmovers were designed. It held hundreds or even thousands of people, and it was mostly impervious to direct attacks. People were safe there, and factories to pump out machines and generate power for the Earthmovers were also safe.
    So how do to destroy something like that? From the inside, the machine needed to be fast, agile and smart. It needed to carry heavy fire power and multiples of weapons to deal with resistance, now the the problem of refueling, instead of having V1 be like other machine that need a refuel station why not make use of the bloodshed? Fresh blood spilt on it will refuel it, so with an ever decreasing supply, it needed to hunt for blood.
    Now we have our idea. V1 was built around just before the end and right before they could approve and mass produce it.
    V1 was meant to kill the people aboard, dismantle protection and destroy the Earthmovers from inside. We saw first hand if V1 was let loose on the world where near world ending machine could be nothing more than a stroll for us.

It's not like the souls can just go through the elevator that V1 came from, it's literally impossible, for them, it's an actual endless labyrinth with no escape, but Hell wants V1 to progress so it makes an entry and exit for him

      No. There is a way in and out of layers. The Ferrymen are capable of doing so.
      Before Hell got full, the Ferrymen worked with Gabriel as a way to repent their sins and get closer to Heaven.
      Essentially, after a Sinner got their sentencing, they would get in a ferry and they'd travel to their layer.

    i love the research you've done with the greek mythology and the divine comedy, the paper cutout presentations were also appreciated, i love that
    hpwever, i think you could have done better with the game presentation, while ultrakill is not a game about staying still, i wished you'd stay to admire some of the environments the game had to offer, for example:
    the start of 7-1, you could have stayed there and slowly panned and looked at the surroundings, or followed the path like in hakita's teaser
    in 7-4, you coukd have stayed down and watched as the earthmover prepares to shoot you, before getting interrupted by the opponent earthmover, it would have made it much more impactful
    and at the end of 7-4 you coudl have looked back and watched the head of the earthmover explode

    One thing that i have been thinking about this great war and in some texts in the game:
    - Probably WW1 never ended or it did end but the arms race continued in a fast pace, but let's stick with the fact WW1 never ended: In this case, we can assume that one or a lot more countries started the production of automatons/machines, we could say the first one was Germany and in this case, Germany was probably winning the war, until another machine was created to counter it, and it goes on and on with more mahcines being created and becoming obsolete, and probably in this case they either discovered hell before the war or during a part where the war was supoosed to end. If we say that during 1918 Germany were Germany surrendered, they managed to created the first machine moved with blood, it says " first machine moved with blood ", we can assume that already other types of machines/automatons were created before it and probably had been dismantled, now let's time skip that, now years has passed, and earthmover is created, i can actually assume that after the first phase ( Probably WW1 because it says it was a trench warfare ) the second phase could be an allegory for ww2, because in the lore of ultrakill, WW1 never actually ended, anyway let's skip a bit more.
    The Earthmover design and also the houses resemble an design of something created during the years of 1900 and 1920, lets be cool and say 1910, i think its obvious that even though the technology was progressing, the humanity in this scenario never truly advanced that much because of constant war, and many say that V1 could be American, it sounds insane but for me it sounds German, why? Japan was at war with germamy in WW1, and obviously the signs on the earthmover are japanese, we can say that V1 was created by germany as an last resort to obviously kill the earthmover ( woooah, sorry for being obvious ), also that text in the second secret level talks about an soldier, probably going to die obviously, or is either one of the people who did take part on the expedition of hell, or it's a soldier being killed by an unknown machine.
    In short: i can 100% say that Germany was the main creator of the machines, my main argument is that Germany had a lot of engineers, scientists and others that created insane designs and prototypes in WW1 and WW2, now other countries creating them, it's something i still need to found out.
    - Also another interesting thing, during the prelude, a lot of those machinery that were transferring and processing blood could be from way back before the humanity was instinct, and probably hell managed to keep it running, so we can say that the moment we start it's probably not the moment the humans went extinct, i can even say that the last Human killed was the text guy on the 2-S, and after he's killed, V1 probably managed to find or either just got the information about the expeditions, and then he went there to get more blood and etc
    - Also i forgot about V2 and there is also probably a model called V3 or another type of experimental machine, so V1, V2 and V3 were designed to either: Kill the Earthmover, be some type of police force or an logistics machine, although we never have seen an official V3 machine, just speculation because of the green arm that V2 uses in his second Boss fight.
    So, what i can say with all of this?
    1- Germany was the main creator of the machines and automatons
    2- Expeditions through or the existence of hell was probably already know, but they didn't know how to get inside it, but after the war ended, they probably managed to do it
    3- V1 was designed to kill an earthmover and probably some other types of machines, V2 was probably some kinda of police force or was designed to counter V2 or to replace V1 in case he failed in Killing an Earthmover, and V3 was probably a logistical type of machine, or was also designed with another type of combat in mind.
    4- The last human was probably killed in 2-S during that text we see in the beginning, and probably everything we see is some kinda of hallucination he is having
    5- WW1 many machines, automatons and other things have designs of old building from the 1900s to 1920s or to 1940s, so we can say that, like in fallout 4 were almost nothing changed, we can say that in ultrakill lore during the war, almost nothing changeg.
    And finally, I have an very strange theory that says this: Hell was aware about the WW1, so they saw that Germany was going to lose or that the war was going to end, war ending = No more fun for hell, so they probably gave this knowledge to Germany, so they could continue fighting.
    Well, looks like even in another Universe, humanity can't live without a war.
    Edit: Looks like i forgot some details about the Gutterman, and yep irs russian, so discard the fact that i said it's German, but honestly Germany already made their own version.

      ​@@aekiyria_according to the boot-up sequence at the beginning of the game, V1's operating system was copyrighted in the 22nd century. And in Benjamin's entry, it states that the war lasted 200 years. Based on the math, that means the war had to begin in the early 1900s. Which in some ways makes sense since the Guttermen were developed to break the stalemate of trench warfare, something widely associated with WW1. I still want to believe this is an oversight though as this would also mean the following technologies existed back then:
      1) Blood as a mechanical fuel source.
      2) Advanced robotics.
      3) Advanced artificial intelligence.
      4) 3D printing explosive ordnance.

But humanity not understanding with one another created way more conflict which led to war, and also the Violence Layer is the only layer to have other language texts aka German, Greek, Japanese. And King Nimrod was also a Hunter and he most likely didnt sculpt the minotaur but rather he trapped and captured it.

  • @spartanblast9189
    @spartanblast9189 Před 4 měsíci +2

    Something that I believe is important to always consider is the fact that Hell is a living entity, and can make changes at its whim
    I don’t believe the Angels took inspiration from the Gutterman for the Mannequins, rather it was Hell itself. It seems to sometimes altar itself after taking new ideas or inspiration, like the Gutterman. The Earthmovers couldn’t have possibly gone to hell themselves, and so therefore the one we kill is a creation of Hell, hence why it is so fleshy in certain areas and immobile, forced to forever fire at its kin in an eternal stalemate, with sinners in the crossfire. It also makes me think about my theory that blood fueled machines are given a sort of ‘soul’ due to the odd range of emotions they can exhibit outside of their programming, and could therefore be sent to Hell, but there hasn’t been anything to support this
    Also something worth noting is that the machines deployed via rockets, or ‘drop pods’ for my fellow scifi enthusiasts, do not seem to be enemies teleported by Hell to fight V1 for its entertainment. Rather, these are machines that have finally caught up with V1 on its rampage of slaughter, using these drop pods to accelerate their journey into Hell. My evidence is that in 7-3 it is machines and the denizens of Hell are fighting each other on opposing sides, which is the first this has happened at least in direct gameplay. I suppose a contradiction is the final fight of 7-4 has guttertanks working with husks, but I think a workaround explanation is that Hell can guide these pods to where it wants them to go

    • @gneu1527

    V1 being a counter for earthmovers actually makes sense because other earthmovers are unable to destroy each other because the shield are strong enough to nullify their attacks rendering their lasee attacks useless, so the only way to destroy them is by wrecking its insides, which is what V1 just did.

    I like the theory about the blood creatures being sinners during reconstruction, although they're called "Puppets", I wonder what that means.
