I accepted the criticism on my past predictions videos and I feel like this should be better! Let me know! DISCLAIMER: Every theory or prediction in this video is not fact, it is merely what I would like to see in P-3, do not take it as fact as no one besides Hakita knows what is going to happen next for ULTRAKILL. I am not trying to spread misinformation, I am just trying to have fun making a cool video, don't get so butt hurt over it.
Imagine if the Third Prime doesn't have a Flesh Prison - they're still in their living Husk form but partially encased in the ice of the Treachery layer. So you have to kill them both as a Supreme Husk and as a Prime Soul.
OOOOOO, how about this?: There is a flesh prison, except when we get into the boss room, we see the bloody remains of the prison, and in the middle of the bloody mess is the Prime Soul boss. To follow up after Sisyphus literally killed the Flesh Panopticon when given the chance. It would be epic and really show how dangerous the boss really is.
I feel like the one thing that ruins Judas Prime is the fact that Prime Souls usually have an immense willpower: - Minos wanted to avenge humanity and take revenge on Gabriel after his hard work was destroyed. - Sisyphus was a warmongerer who, despite knowing he'd fight a losing battle, he still did it to piss The Council off. Judas literally dropping the 30 coins after knowing he'd sent Jesus to die and hanging himself shortly after in Acts 1 doesn't scream someone with willpower.
Minos wanted to help the humans in hell,Sisyphus cared only for himself,so i think the 3rd prime soul would accept his sins and try to avenge heaven,which would make sense for Judas since he felt guilty after realising he sold Jesus and got him killed.
@@noahdude628 "Ah,so concludes the life and times of King Sisyphus. A fitting end to an existance defined by futile struggle. Doomed from the very start. And i don't,regret,a second of it." Something tells me he knew that an attack against heaven would get him killed,and this very war lead to the Sisyphian Insurrectionist looking like this.
I saw once on reddit someone give an interesting idea for P-3: Instead of fighting someone trapped in a flesh prison, the whole level would be V1 trying to escape from a flesh prison. It could be a fresh twist from P-1 and P-2, plus I personally would love to see how the prisons are supposed to work on the inside.
It sounds nice, but I would think of heaven TRYING to trap v1, not v1 trying to escape or ssomething. It would be cool if we fight army of angels as an gauntlet before prime boss fight.
King something Most likely relevant to the layer he was part of Since minos was relevant to l2 ( lust) And sisyphus to l4 (greed) Best bet so far would be geryon for fraud like he said
@@TundraNine i guess … but lilith wasn t any harm to heaven themself , she did some fuky waky and decided to be a bitch to adam by making him and eve eat the apple but she really didn t do stuff in hell … As for hell itself , sanctums are both canon and non canon , i belive that since hell’s text is red and/or bold letters and seeing it s relevenace , it wouldn t be an optional part of it all
Hi, I'm the artist that made the red and black skull Prime Soul design. It's pretty nostalgic seeing this particular design reappear for a theory video, and it's cool seeing more and more people using it. I'm mostly just surprised *just* the Phase 1 design was used while talking Odysseus and not the crossbones variation, lol
Getting ready for hakita prime in p-3 🗣️ Also it would be cool that if it is judas, he betrays the player confidence, that when you defeat him a cutscene starts where he talks (similar to gabriel or the other prime bosses) but mid cutscene he regains health and continue figthing. He was faking being defeated so the player will fell confident and didnt expect the battle to continue
A bit like Ganondorf in The Legend of Zelda tears of the kingdom, when you defeat his first phase, he begins to regenerate his health to a comically absurd amount
Alright let’s do this: 1:30 This is actually already confirmed to be not true. In the developer commentary stream they outright say that P-2 will still have the most difficult normal encounters in the game, so if P-3 does have a gauntlet before it, it likely won’t be either as hard or as long, probably both. Lucifer: Yes it very much is a stupid idea. Angels cannot be Prime Souls as they don’t have human souls to begin with. A human’s soul is transferred into a husk or a lesser angel upon death, which is how humans have an afterlife. Anything other than a human doesn’t have that luxury. Angels, demons, machines, none of them have souls (or at the very least, angels’ and demons’ souls work fundamentally differently from humans’ souls) and therefore they cannot stick around as a Prime Soul after their death. Back on the topic of Lucifer, everything I said about him in my breakdowns of the previous two videos still applies here. His role in the story was to demonstrate that God is not infallible to separate the ULTRAKILL depiction of him from any real world religions’ depictions of him. He is currently only one of countless beings being tormented in Hell, if not dead already, and holds no significance other than that. There will need to be some kind of a buildup to whoever the boss character is, and logically that should happen in Fraud, because if it happened in Treachery it would distract from the buildup to Gabriel. The question then becomes what thematics significance could ULTRAKILL Lucifer have in relation to the layer? He was sent to Hell because he was *honest* to God, being open about his doubts of God’s plan. That level of brutal honestly feels like the opposite of Fraud, no? On top of the lack of thematic significance, what would be his story significance? What series of events could push Heaven to add to his torment by going into Hell and outright killing and imprisoning him? Lastly, on the topic of “Hakita said we won’t fight Lucifer.” That is not true. The closest I can find is actually the opposite, when confronted with screenshots of youtube comments from people saying he deconfirmed Lucifer, he dismissed those comments by saying too many people use “Hakita said it” as a source without any evidence. Judas: What kind of interpretation of Judas could ULTRAKILL possibly have? His mere existence as a character in the bible is intrinsically tied to his relationship to Jesus. To adapt any of the twelve apostles, Judas especially, into the setting of ULTRAKILL, they would fundamentally need to be remade from the ground up, and at that point it wouldn’t even be the same character anymore. Unlike with Minos and Sisyphus, the narrative of Judas isn’t really salvageable. On top of that, Judas was regretful of his treacherous actions and his last act was to take his own life. Surely that would have put him in the 7-3 forest and we would have seen some kind of buildup to him already, no? Not to mention, using Judas would break the trend of keeping actual biblical figures in ULTRAKILL to a minimum and make it closer to real world Christianity, which is the opposite of what it’s trying to be. Cassius and Brutus: I will concede that this is entirely a matter of preference but I think having a dual Prime Soul boss fight would be unreasonably difficult, and not for the reasons it’s supposed to be. The Prime Soul bosses are known for moving fast and hitting hard. The whole point of them is that a 1v1 with them is an endurance contest. They’re not comparable to the Red/Blue duos because those duos are just beefed up versions of regular enemies which are already designed to be fought in groups. Prime Souls are fundamentally designed to be significantly better than you on their own and having to fight two at once would be near impossible to balance properly. Just as characters though, I think Cassius’ and Brutus’ biggest strength is also their biggest weakness: they were real people. Unlike Minos and Sisyphus, they had extensive lives which had multiple noteworthy events in them, and not just a vague, possibly short tale that limits what aspects of the character you could pull from. This also means it wouldn’t be difficult to repurpose them in a way that fits the setting of ULTRAKILL, they aren’t intrinsically tied to one major event so it’s entirely possible to reinterpret the context of the character while keeping them recognizable. That being said, being real people sort of does away with the mysticism the Prime Soul characters’ names carry. Minos and Sisyphus were major characters in Greek mythology, for milennia their names have been intertwined with tales of gods and monsters and so when those characters appear, you instantly know they’re going to be a big deal. Cassius and Brutus don’t have that luxury, they’re most well known for a political assassination. Not an insignificant event per se, but one that we can rationally understand and recognize as real and tangible. I’m sure the two could be rewritten into something good in ULTRAKILL if they really wanted to but overall I think there are easier and better choices for them to tackle. Jesus: Jesus doesn’t exist in ULTRAKILL. Straight up. Go back and watch the beginning of the 7-1 section of the second developer stream. All iconography present in the game that could reasonably traced back to Jesus has been rewritten to hold significance unrelated to him in some fashion. The crosses now represent the tree of life. The paintings that use imagery related to him and the Holy Spirit in Limbo are stock images that they plan to replace soon. The idols, which many mistake for Mary and the baby Jesus, were only designed to reflect the vague concept of parental love and protection. Between these alternate explanations for the iconography and ULTRAKILL’s avoidance of using biblical characters and concepts directly, the game and its developers have gotten as close as possible to saying that Jesus doesn’t exist without outright saying it. Midas: I know I bashed people saying that Hakita said things without linking a source earlier but I literally can’t link sources in CZcams comments so you’re just going to have to trust me when I say that he has outright spoken against the possibility of Midas. His exact words were: “you’d have to be real dumb to put characters named minos and midas in the same story.” It’s anticlimactic I know, but Occam’s Razor and all that. Not every character needs a big reason to be deconfirmed. Lilith: I don’t know anything about the story of Lilith beyond the brief summary you gave here but that’s not all that important. Being a character that comes from a real Abrahamic religion she falls into the same trap many other predictions do, that being contradicting ULTRAKILL’s attempts to separate itself from any real religion. I’m sure I could find some other significance that would contradict the possibility of her being reimagined in this setting but for now I’ll just leave it at that. Odysseyus: Yeah I got nothing. The Odyssey is incredibly long and there are so many aspects of Odysseus’ character that could easily be reinterpreted into ULTRAKILL’s setting while still being recognizable. I’ve got nothing to say against him but nothing really to say for him either because I don’t know what the thought process is like for the dev team. Ultimately he’s the most plausible of the characters you’ve suggested here, but a prediction is just a prediction at the end of the day so I wouldn’t yet outright call him likely. Although one thing that probably not many people will notice is that the artwork you used to represent Odysseus is both outdated and isn’t outright supposed to be Odysseyus. I happen to be in communications with the artist behind it. It goes by many names but as far as I’m aware Odysseyus has yet to be one (you can even see that he hasn’t decided in the first comment of the post you linked) and the design has changed a bit since the rendition you used here, check his profile and you’ll see what I mean. Prometheus: I think the biggest problem with Prometheus is that he has the potential to be very redundant when present in the same story as ULTRAKILL’s take on Minos. Minos being punished for rebuilding Lust into a paradise could easily be viewed as a parallel to Prometheus’ core narrative of being punished for pushing civilization forward. Not saying it would be impossible, but I definitely think it would be difficult to recontextualize Prometheus in a way that remains recognizable and doesn’t feel redundant. Not inherently a bad choice, just a little too late. The Minotaur Terminal: Hell itself. The blanks are for Hell itself. Act 3 is the perfect time to start dropping hints for people that didn’t follow the ARG that Hell is alive and actively chooses to torment instead of just being the place where it happens. It’s a very thinly veiled secret at this point that demons are created directly by Hell to encourage more suffering. The creation of the Minotaur has nothing to do with the P-3 character.
I think he would do it at the start, and the interaction would go something like this: "What? Already?" "No, no no no no no" "You aren't supposed to be here!" * summons a flesh prision *
If Sisyphus was imprisoned in the 6th layer of Hell, guarded by an entire colosseum of enemies, three locked doors, another final door and a warning before it AND an improved flesh prison, I'm genuinely scared of what will guard the third Prime Soul
Maybe it will be some kind of middle ground between Minos and Sisyphus. The rooms leading up to the prime soul will have the dead bodies of every single enemy (that’s not a boss) you fought in the game.
@@rrealifiedHell making the minotaur makes sense lore wise, first off, what else could find the minotaur, a twisted mockery of Minos’s past sins, beautiful and then gift it to him except Hell, the very same entity that saw the earthmovers as beautiful. Also, Hell makes demons, the minotaur is a supreme demon.
Ok hear me out p-3 would be an ice colosseum, crumbling apart. I think it'd be awesome if when you defeat the prison the guy just comes out behind you and sarcastically claps before starting to monologue.
I think p-3 will have you going from the broken prison, going backwards through dead sinners and robots and demons the prime soul killed when it escaped, then at the end of the level you fight the prime soul, then the lore reveals all the terminals are fucking each other
What if it’s just like a guy who threw a rock at a window one time but it was a window God really REALLY liked so they sealed him away in the deepest layer of hell for the rest of eternity
Imagine after P-Ranking all the Prime Sanctums, you unlock a hidden 4th Act of the game where you return to Earth and fight the 4 Horsemen of the Apocalypse, except instead of fighting the first 3 horsemen, you only fight their horses as the horsemen have long since fulfilled their purpose and died. And once you finally meet Death, the 4th and final horseman, sitting on the edge of a cliff overlooking a barren wadteland, who reveals that God asked him to kill God and Death, being the only being who truly knew how God really thought, agreed to it and God's final request was destroy all of his creations. And Death considered the Machines to be the easiest way to pull that off. Now here's the kicker: Death doesn't bleed, as he was made without blood. However, his Scythe contains the blood of every living thing that has ever lived and ever died, and so, parrying is the ONLY way to heal. But there's one other gimmick: Death has zero reason to fight you, so you can chose to either fight him or leave him alone. Either way, maybe a portal to Heaven is opened allowing for Machines to very easily enter Heaven.
@@DivineOrange Considering that the player is already forced to P-Rank every normal level of each Act to unlock the regular P-Levels, my idea isn't that too far fetched.
my theory is Odysseus. He sailed for 10 years out of sheer will to see his wife again (souls become prime souls when they have a lot of willpower). He's in the eighth part of the fraud layer in dante's Inferno. He's a greek King and has a connection to a tree (like the tree of life mentioned in 7-1 and the olive tree that was his bed). maybe he stole a ferryman's boat and was punished for it, or maybe he was punished for using the tree of life as a bed. also, titans might not have souls like humans so it probably won't be Prometheus
I propose Tantalus Prime. -Greek king. -Known for his punishment. Being put into a pool near a fruit baring tree, both would move away from him if he tried to eat or drink. -Committed the three sins of Act 3 -Killed his own son as sacrifice. (Violence.) -Tried to trick the gods into eating him. (Fraud.) -The gods loved and trusted him and he was hosting a meal at his house so by committing the other two sins is is also committing a 3rd. (Treachery)
I would also suggest King Lycaon. He basically killed his son and made Zeus eat him and as punishment was made the first werewolf. Could be seen as an act of treachery and violence against god, family, and oneself.
This is my favorite theory and the one I've been running with. With how prevalent trees are in 7-3 I think it would make sense for it to be him. Another theory I saw was nimrod, who created the tower of babel. It would be cool to just enter P3 only to be confronted with a giant winding tower.
Personally, I think it would be cool to have either Dante, Vergil or both as the prime bosses, since they were the first ones to journey through hell. Also, you can't tell me it _wouldn't_ be hilarious if Vergil Prime's theme suddenly turned into Bury the Light.
The prime soul would probably have to have commited the sin of fraud or treachery, since there was no prominent husk in violence. Or maybe hakita brings in someone from heaven. Idk.
Odysseus committed fraud by designing the Trojan Horse. He is also referenced in the Divine Comedy during the fraud chapter. It would be cool if Odysseus Prime’s prison is a trojan horse
You could make the argument that it doesn’t matter what sin the original version of the character is known for. Minos is most known for being treacherous towards Poseidon by refusing to sacrifice the bull and Sisyphus is known for spending his whole life repeatedly getting away with fraudulent behavior, lying to the gods to continuously escape death. ULTRAKILL’s interpretations of the characters it uses for the Prime Souls are wildly different from their original stories so using the original myths as a way to gague who it could be is a faulty system.
Both Minos and Sisyphus were kings in the layers they were sent to, but maybe it was just because those layers were somewhat habitable. In my eyes, if a ruler was sent to Violence they would probably end up running to Fraud or Treachery since Violence is a literal warzone and it'd be very hard to make anything permanent in there.
5:50 The original greek myth actually never mentions the daughter thing and he never died in it, instead he just was turned back to normal by the Gods when they realized what a mistake it was.
I doubt it,if it were to be "hell itself" then that would mean hell didn't make the other demons,which doesn't really make sense,i think the blank spaces would be the name of someone who would inspire hell to make demons
@@ron9174 well hell itself could have made the minatour and that's the context for the blanked out words. It half makes sense to me but if you think otherwise that's fine
@@notjebbutstillakerbal thats not what im saying,what i'm saying is that hell makes demons without it being mentioned,and if the ̶M̶i̶n̶o̶t̶a̶u̶r was also made by hell then you wouldn't need to mention it's creator since you can figure it out yourself,but it's mentioned in his terminal that he was made by someone/something. Also Hell Mass isn't the only thing that can make demons,In the Leviathan and Mannequin entry,we can see that instead of Hell Mass,you can use living beings to create demons,so it's not like demons can't be created by a human who also used human flesh.
@ron9174 Hell made the mannequins while being inspired by guttermen, there is literally no piece of evidence that suggests that a human can or has ever created a demon. "The fools who attempted would realize far too late that angels were not all that kept them from freedom, as the Garden of Forking Paths is no ordinary labyrinth, but one of malicious intent, overseen with cunning cruelty." (Mannequin terminal entry) The Garden of Forking paths is part of hell, which explains how the garden made mannequins. "The Sullen, in their motionlessness, were eventually fused together by the same force that created the other demons [...]" (Leviathan terminal entry) Hear that? "Same force that created the other demons" which is hell. "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 CREATED 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 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 . The pages of the book are blank." (Mysterious book sitting in a alleyway on the 1000-THR "EARTHMOVER" 's back) "YOU WERE BEAUTIFUL, OUTSTRETCHED LIKE ANTENNAS TO HEAVEN", Hell finds the EARTHMOVERS beautiful. "Though its creator considered it beautiful, a personalized monument of death and despair, Minos was terrified of the grotesque caricature of his past mistakes and cast it into the Garden of Forking Paths, hoping it would never be seen again." (Minotaur terminal entry) Who is the being sadistic enough to find a mess of flesh and stone that somewhat looks like a bull a beautiful monument and proceed to gift this monstrosity to a man with a terrible past that involves bulls? Maybe the same creature who thinks the giant death lammas beautiful?? Yeah, sounds like the same guy to me. Plus, if you still dont believe hell created the minotaur, read this: Minotaur's entry is written in red text, same as the THR book, which has been proven by the P-2 Arg. Which means Hell Itself wrote both of those. There, i used your own "evidence" against you. So in conclusion: Mannequins = Hell made it; Leviathan = Hell made it; Minotaur = Hell made it; You = Are wrong.
8:51 I can't remember if this was thought of before or after this video came out, but the blank letters could be "Hell Itself" cause we know is alive, and the fact that it perfectly lines up is very interesting
1:12 I might sound crazy but I think the buildup for P-3 will be a gauntlet of fighting the greek giants. Hakita already said that P-2 will be the hardest **normal** encounters in the game, so for it to be a gauntlet wouldn't make sense, and I think just a normal walk like in P-1 would be boring as well. In Dante's Inferno, the giants also serve as the guardians of Treachery, and it could make sense for them to be repurposed as guardians of the third prime soul. Also, the past two prime souls have been greek kings, so for the third one to be a giant wouldn't make sense.
Prometheus Prime works so well with the themes of the Prime bosses its actually insane. Like Minos and Sisyphus, he tried to help humanity by defying god, he has immense willpower, being tortured infinitely, and he fits with the theme of treachery, betraying the gods by helping humanity. And he also fits with the theme of Greek mythology for all of the Prime bosses, and it makes sense that he would be the strongest of them all, being a titan. Also if your theory about treachery is correct about it being ice themed, it would make thematic sense for him being imprisoned there, with him delivering fire to humanity.
Nimrod's name means great hunter. Even in the Bible, it's said that people would see great hunters and say, "that hunter is like Nimrod!" Apparently, it only means idiot because of a sarcastic joke in Looney Tunes involving a really bad hunter that made the use of Nimrod's name into that of an idiot.@@OST-jp4cc
@@RushWheeler The Primes are not just characters from the Bible tho, it's from the Divine Comedy by Dante Aligheri, so if Nimrod doesn't appear in it he won't make the cut. I personally believe Size 2 will be the boss in the P-3 fight
You forgot one option. Tantalus Prime. None of the other prime bosses are gods, neither is Tantalus. My reasoning is because Tantalus committed the sin of Treachery against the gods, he did this by taking ambrosia and giving it to his people. He is my personal choice because of well, Treachery. Hope you like my idea on P-3.
just imagine that P-3 would be released on april 1st and will be a very big florp with instakill attacks, that would be pretty hilarious but also stupid
I think that if P-3 boss does somehow end up being Judas Prime, (which I kinda doubt because it doesn't fit with the other greek characters for Minos and Sisyphus) that the pre-boss challenge similar to the Flesh Prison and the P-2 Guantlet would be Brutus and Cassius Prime, a dual Prime Soul boss similar to the two Cerberus on 0-5, and fighting two Prime Bosses at once would be horrifying and is what I think the pre-boss challenge would be for P-3
For the build up i predict an archangel. An archangel with the sole task of stopping the prime soul from escaping. An archangel that has the potential to fight one on one with a prime soul that is locked up in *the deepest part of hell* so yeah its a 3 boss in a row
Here me out: In a few levels, there have been jokes about the Something Wicked (it spawning just to disappear in Greed, the noise being reused in Violence). Y'wanna know what would be a hilarious punchline to these jokes? The third prime sanctum actually having a Something Wicked as part of the journey to the Prime boss :)
Hey, I just theory crafted with someone on a different comment concerning who will be the prime soul in P-3, so I'm just gonna copy and past everything here so more people can see it since it just makes so much sense: @mugiwaramartinez1319: Because of all these I suggest King Nimrod. He ordered the construction of the Tower of Babel which would have challenged Gods reign over heaven (an act of fraud and treachery) and his punishment was the creation of all languages. While he isn't hinted at, I could see it fitting in that the blanks in the Minotaur's entry could fit in the spelling of "King Nimrod." Hakita likely wouldn't make it hell itself since its stated in its entry that it wanted to escape hell and see the sun one last time. Y'know before V1 Lobotomized it. And just a little food for thought, a majority of Violence involves climbing up to a degree, and it could be seen at its peak when fighting the earth moved and in its stage name "Like antennas to Heaven". It could easily be seen in relation to the tower of babel. And if Minos gives us anything to believe, prime souls are well aware of what happens on earth and King Nimrod could have rebuilt the earthmovers in defiance of god and punished by Gabriel @The_Results: Not to mention the fact that 7-S, despite it being a joke level, is a library, and when you go outside and look up, what do you see? A massive tower meaning 7-S could be the tower of babel. But I don't think that the stuff about climbing relates to the size of the tower of babel, it most likely relates to Jacob's ladder, which he also commissioned to build. In the story of Jacob's ladder it is said that he built this ladder off of Jacob's dream in order to make a way to and from the heavens and the earth. This is important because in 7-4 there is a secret book in one of the alleyways which states from the wiki: "THIS IS THE ONLY WAY IT COULD HAVE ENDED. WAR NO LONGER NEEDED ITS ULTIMATE PRACTITIONER. 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 . The pages of the book are blank." The end of the second paragraph clearly is talking about the earthmover and how it's just constantly fighting blindly, but if you think of it in this context, it shows a story of King Nimrod climbing his ladder, and being struck down from it. This would also make a sort of theme when it comes to Kind Nimrod and the 2 other prime souls, as they all defied their creators in their own ways. Minos was passive, standing in protest. Sisyphus was aggressive, building an army. And King Nimrod was reliant/diplomatic, building a ladder to go to paradise and making a library to spread info for all to learn. 3 forms of fighting against the oppression of heaven. Good thinking! Here have a cookie!
honestly my personal candidate is Eve Prime, she ticks all the boxes for a good final boss - is the original mother of all of humanity, therefore also the mother of every single demon in Ultrakill - is referenced in Dante's Inferno, methinks - betrayed God, therefore ABSOLUTELY fits Treachery - could 100% have a cool motivation to be determined to fight, there's many ways you can take it there
I have a theory that once every level in the game is complete including the secret levels and the Prime levels, there will be a 4th Prime level called P-P and will feature Hakita as a boss
Considering the crossover between Dante's Inferno and Greek mythology when choosing prime souls, my bet would be Antaeus. My other bet would be a gauntlet against the "former" giants (dead, now prime souls) that were meant to guard Cocytus.
My theory is Adam and Eve could be the 3rd prime soul, they did commit the first sin. Not to mention they’d have a pretty good dynamic, I feel like the fight would be the Karnak twins from Darktide on crack, one of them gets up close and deals most of the damage, while the other one takes shots at you from afar, I also feel like making the voice actors for A&E the same as the Karnak twins would be a good idea.
Honestly, these predictions for P--3 are quite unique, but I noticed a small pattern when it came to the prime soul selection. Whenever a soul is picked, they're usually associated with a particular level: Minos Prime had his corpse rule over Lust, and some of Sisyphus' followers are now the enemy known as the Sisyphean Insurrectionist. By this logic, the first prime soul was in the second layer of the first act, and the second prime soul was in the first layer of the second act. Another thing I noticed was that these prime souls are all Greek kings that are part of the Greek Mythology, and can(I'm stretching this) be associated with the sin of the layer they "reside" in.
With that said, I think that the next prime soul would have to follow these conditions: It must be a Greek King that can be associated with the sin of Treachery. If you're wondering why this layer, it's because never once has a prime soul been associated with the third layer of any of the other 2 acts. With these conditions, this leaves us with not many options. With these conditions, I think the last prime soul will be Tantalus Prime. Tantalus is a Greek king, and he served his own son to the Gods since he had no sacrifice for the gods. According to Dante's Inferno, this would be considered a betrayal of family, which would mean that Tantalus would most likely be found in the first part of treachery: Caina, where all betrayers of family reside. I think I've said enough; I'm open to criticism, so let me know what you think.
Plot twist: P-3 just opens and the exit is just there, not even enough space for any layer detail, its just the red metal of the elevator area. There is nothing else
8:49 crazy theory, I’ve seen people say that the characters are hell itself, soo what if it is just hell itself? It would be such a good idea for the final boss (I think) and would make a lot of sense
I think Prometheus takes the cake for P-3's boss fight. I mean, he (or at least his concept) is most likely for the bossfight. He fits the criteria for Treachery, like how Minos' theme is Lust (city of Lust, viewed punishing lust as unnecessary, etc) and Sisyphus is associated with Heresy (challenging Heaven itself, saying "fuck it we ball" all the goddamn time). Prometheus, after all, betrayed the gods by giving fire to humanity, which would fit Treachery. Plus, he's also from Greek Mythology like the other two
The Prime Soul will come from Fraud, not Treachery. The set up for a prime soul is throughout a layer and stuffing it, in what is supposed to be a climax layer, is messy. He was also not human in the myth, it just makes more sense to choose a human character than dramatically change the story of a Titan.
An explanation to why Gabriel Prime is stupid: 1) Gameplay reasons. Making the player fight the same character 4 times is incredibly idiotic. It's boring. 2) Lore reasons. Prime souls are people who have unfinished business. Gabriel has already eradicated the council, and has accepted his death. Gabriel has finished his business. 3) Hakita reasons. RECONSTRUCT W H A T ? THERE'S NOTHING LEFT
Midas prime has already been deconfirmed. Hakita said in some discord message that I am too lazy to dig up that one would have to be rather stupid to add Midas to a game that already has a character named Minos.
I'm personally super in favor of Daedalus Prime! Think about it. Daedalus was a talented inventor who was experienced in contraptions and automata, which would create an interesting narrative dynamic with Ultrakill's machines, and with certain enemies such as the Soldier, (We still don't know who created them) Daedalus checks all the criteria in that he has no connection to the real world, yet would still have a place in Ultrakill as a prominent figure of mythology and a close connection with Minos. Daedalus is also fully human and demonstrates a lot of willpower through his creations. Which means he fulfills the requirements to be a prime soul. Yet he's also done plenty of sin in his life, so it's a safe bet he'll end up in hell. Then, there's also a ton of iconic imagery to go with him. Imagine having to fight and navigate your way through a frosty, flesh labyrinth and defeat a 2nd version of the minotaur. Then Daedalus comes in with a bronze and copper color scheme. With wings attached to his back. Would be absolutely epic.
For 8:49 I think those eleven characters spell "hell itself" since Hell is an alive entity in the UK lore, And the mannequins enemies were made by Hell, since it found fascination in observing the Robots Humans made in the last war
King Erysichthon is my guess. He was a greek king (just like Sisyphus and Minos, his crime was destroying Demeter's grove and one of Demeter's most beloved Dryads. His punishment was insatiable hunger. No matter how much he ate he was always hungry, and the more he ate the hungrier he became. This goes on and on until he's spent all of his money on food, leaving his kingdom in shambles, until he eventually eats himself. He is quite a minor character in the greek mythos but so was Minos. I dont really think p3 will be a person that wasnt a greek king or at least a part of the myths.
P-3 is just gonna be every single prime soul at once then god sees your power and goes "machine you've bested some of the most powerful of my creations now you must fight the creator."
(my theory) Hakita himself going be the boss for P-3 and you have to fight every boss again before you get to him (checkpoints after defeating 3 bosses so u don't have to start over) then when u get to fight him, he summons anything in game by random so it's literally Hell. BUT THAT'S JUST A THEORY
One theory that I think is incredibly underrated is Daedalus prime. Daedalus, just like Prometheus is a master craftsman. According to Greek mythology, He (accidentally) created the Minotaur, and when he tried to give it to king Minos as a gift, Minos was disgusted and threw both Daedalus and the Minotaur into the labyrinth. Daedalus also killed his son accidentally.
I wouldn't say Daedalus killed Icarus. He very clearly told him not to fly too high and he just did anyways. Daedalus even went insane from grief afterwards so he deeply regretted it. But other than that, I do think Daedalus would be a fun option, he just doesn't have the willpower
Prometheus could steal the fire in another sense Taking the combat style of every enemy youve encountered as his own and comboing them against you. He fights you using the power of creativity and technology. Bam! Combos you off of a coin hit, goes for a boulder slam, dashes left and hucks a light spear. While you are dodging, going in for a minos crush. Manifesting whatever he wants with a ball of fire he carries around.
@florinaghimpeteanu5944 it would be too oddly specific and strange given the context to randomly have a king’s name in the middle of text that is otherwise completely unrelated. “Hell itself” fits much more naturally and seems to fit in line with the direction that hakita seems to be going with the ultrakill lore (hell being a sentient being)
@@infinityyworks i think your right. i was just trying to give my own guess. i was kinda going off the fact that both primes are kings and looked a lot like a pattern to me
Not only that Minotaur (too lazy to cross it out like its in game) is a demon What are demons made of? Hell mass! Who made all the other demons? Hell itself!
I like to imagine near the end of the gauntlet, the prime soul shows up like you’re just fighting in a room of enemies, and when you get down to like the last one, they just get vaporized by the soul who busted into the room
I feel like before you get to the main boss you will have to kill like 10 bosses to get to him, i think that hakita will make all of that so p-3 will actually be the kind of fight only a few people will beat ASPECIALLY those who will try to P rank it.
8:48 I was thinking it could maybe be King Aegeus. He fits the themes of the other prime souls than the other candidates, and even fits the terminal entry. There’s no definitive answer yet though, so keep theorizing! It’s very entertaining.
Feels...strange not to mention the relation Judas, Brutus, and Cassius all have to one another in Inferno. I've only ever seen the latter two put forward as a possible prelude to Judas
Rules for qualifying as a prime sanctum candidate based on what hakita has said and past experiences. 1. Needs to have something to do with the second layer of their respective act (Minos is the king of layer 2, Sisyphus built an army in layer 4.) 2. Needs be some what seen or hinted to throughout the game (Paintings and books of Minos and Sisyphus for example) 3 and 4. Has to be known as someone from some form of mythology and/or known as someone who has challenged the gods and failed. (Minos fighting for his right to love, Sisyphus fighting for freedom and originally tricking the gods to stay alive.) 5. Cannot be an already established major character, angelic or demonic being, or maybe or maybe not a machine. (Major character would be lazy and not likely to happen, angelic beings are unlikely to happen due to Gabriel's slaughter of them as shown at the end of act one, and even then angelic beings are soul-like themselves as shown with the virtues, and demonic beings are just fallen angels and/or mindless/tormented beyond mental function which would not be good story wise, and with machines, although I do think it is unlikely, take all these with a grain of salt since it would be like hakita to switch it up on us, and due to things like the iconic "Mankind Is Dead. Blood Is Fuel. Hell Is Full" and with V2 clearly having emotions like being enraged and bowing at the start of the first fight, machines could maybe generate a kind of artificial soul, keep it in mind.) Hope this helps and maybe sparks some idea's! Let me know if I should tweak somethings and don't mind to give some insight if you want!
Machines don’t have souls and definitely cannot go prime. Also demons are not fallen angels, they are Hell mass stuffed into a stone shell. Angels don’t have afterlife’s so they can’t turn into a Husk to turn into a prime
Because of all these I suggest King Nimrod. He ordered the construction of the Tower of Babel which would have challenged Gods reign over heaven (an act of fraud and treachery) and his punishment was the creation of all languages. While he isn't hinted at, I could see it fitting in that the blanks in the Minotaurs entry could fit in the spelling of "King Nimrod." Hakita likely wouldn't make it hell itself since its stated in its entry that it wanted to escape hell and see the sun one last time. Y'know before V1 Lobotomized it. And just a little food for thought, a majority of Violence involves climbing up to a degree, and it could be seen at its peak when fighting the earth moved and in its stage name "Like antennaes to Heaven". It could easily be seen in relation to the tower of babel. And if Minos gives us anything to believe, prime souls are well aware of what happens on earth and King Nimrod could have rebuilt the earthmovers in defiance of god and punished by Gabriel.
@@lyallaurum Not to mention the fact that 7-S, despite it being a joke level, is a library, and when you go outside and look up, what do you see? A massive tower meaning 7-S could be the tower of babel. But I don't think that the stuff about climbing relates to the size of the tower of babel, it most likely relates to Jacob's ladder, which he also commissioned to build. In the story of Jacob's ladder it is said that he built this ladder off of Jacob's dream in order to make a way to and from the heavens and the earth. This is important because in 7-4 there is a secret book in one of the alleyways which states from the wiki: "THIS IS THE ONLY WAY IT COULD HAVE ENDED. WAR NO LONGER NEEDED ITS ULTIMATE PRACTITIONER. 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 . The pages of the book are blank." The end of the second paragraph clearly is talking about the earthmover and how it's just constantly fighting blindly, but if you think of it in this context, it shows a story of King Nimrod climbing his ladder, and being struck down from it. This would also make a sort of theme when it comes to Kind Nimrod and the 2 other prime souls, as they all defied their creators in their own ways. Minos was passive, standing in protest. Sisyphus was aggressive, building an army. And King Nimrod was reliant/diplomatic, building a ladder to go to paradise and making a library to spread info for all to learn. 3 forms of fighting against the oppression of heaven. Good thinking! Here have a cookie! 🍪
All these “clues” for Nimrod seem like stretch’s just to make the idea make sense. Hints about a prime soul are IN the layer they are mentioned. Is there a prime mentioned anywhere in Violence? No. That layer is about Hell, especially the Minotaur. Yeah there is a tower in 7-S but you know what’s related to Hell specifically? The library of babel. Do you know what could possibly hold an infinite number of books? A tower. Yeah it’s a tower but it’s still the library of babel.
The thing is, what if Gabriel is killed? He committed a major crime against the council and could possibly fall from grace. He has been shown capabilities of strong willpower, and he has the intense ambition to defeat V1. And if Gabriel is in hell, I think Hell itself would want him locked up.
Jesus has been confirmed non-canon in Ultrakill My personal theory is that P-3 is the battle against God who imprisoned himself in Hell for his actions Other creative theories I've seen in the community are Hell itself and Hercules Prime
The Minotaur in Greek Mythology was a creation of Poseidon that swooned King Minos’ wife. In Ultrakill, the Minotaur lore entry has a blank space for its creator. The Minotaur was gifted to King Minos, but he found it repulsive. Given that Poseidon has been referenced in Ultrakill, I’m surprised no one has thought of looking into his lineage. King Agenor King Amykos King Anthas King Eleius King Minyas King Neleus King Ogyges King Sithon And though not a king, Triton would fit the bill. Each one of these kings don’t mention the Minotaur, but they’re all in relation to Poseidon in mythology. Ultrakill has bent Greek myths before with Minos and Sisyphus, so I wouldn’t be surprised if a king like Sithon is chosen for this. (Sithon btw was a king of a city in Thrace who would promise the hand of his daughter Pallene and his Kingdom if he lost to a suitor in a duel of single combat…maybe interesting.)
I accepted the criticism on my past predictions videos and I feel like this should be better! Let me know!
DISCLAIMER:
Every theory or prediction in this video is not fact, it is merely what I would like to see in P-3, do not take it as fact as no one besides Hakita knows what is going to happen next for ULTRAKILL. I am not trying to spread misinformation, I am just trying to have fun making a cool video, don't get so butt hurt over it.

"THERE IS NOTHING LEFT"
Imagine if the Third Prime doesn't have a Flesh Prison - they're still in their living Husk form but partially encased in the ice of the Treachery layer. So you have to kill them both as a Supreme Husk and as a Prime Soul.
Damn that’d be chaotic af
their own flesh is their prison
reminds me of the satan boss fight from the dante's inferno game ngl, would go hard asf
@@ihaveinternetThem being hold back by their own flesh is kinda metal af
OOOOOO, how about this?:
There is a flesh prison, except when we get into the boss room, we see the bloody remains of the prison, and in the middle of the bloody mess is the Prime Soul boss. To follow up after Sisyphus literally killed the Flesh Panopticon when given the chance. It would be epic and really show how dangerous the boss really is.
I feel like the one thing that ruins Judas Prime is the fact that Prime Souls usually have an immense willpower:
- Minos wanted to avenge humanity and take revenge on Gabriel after his hard work was destroyed.
- Sisyphus was a warmongerer who, despite knowing he'd fight a losing battle, he still did it to piss The Council off.
Judas literally dropping the 30 coins after knowing he'd sent Jesus to die and hanging himself shortly after in Acts 1 doesn't scream someone with willpower.
Minos wanted to help the humans in hell,Sisyphus cared only for himself,so i think the 3rd prime soul would accept his sins and try to avenge heaven,which would make sense for Judas since he felt guilty after realising he sold Jesus and got him killed.
Jesus doesn’t exist which means the thing that Judas is known for, does not exist
Lucifer being pissed at dad for yeetung him into hell?
@@ron9174 Sisyphus did NOT care only for himself. Sisyphus wanted to help the people in Hell as well by breaking free of the oppression.
@@noahdude628 "Ah,so concludes the life and times of King Sisyphus. A fitting end to an existance defined by futile struggle. Doomed from the very start. And i don't,regret,a second of it."
Something tells me he knew that an attack against heaven would get him killed,and this very war lead to the Sisyphian Insurrectionist looking like this.
I saw once on reddit someone give an interesting idea for P-3: Instead of fighting someone trapped in a flesh prison, the whole level would be V1 trying to escape from a flesh prison. It could be a fresh twist from P-1 and P-2, plus I personally would love to see how the prisons are supposed to work on the inside.
Heaven tries to trap V1 because he's that big of a threat
It sounds nice, but I would think of heaven TRYING to trap v1, not v1 trying to escape or ssomething.
It would be cool if we fight army of angels as an gauntlet before prime boss fight.

Also it would be cool that if it is judas, he betrays the player confidence, that when you defeat him a cutscene starts where he talks (similar to gabriel or the other prime bosses) but mid cutscene he regains health and continue figthing. He was faking being defeated so the player will fell confident and didnt expect the battle to continue
Cool concept bud
A bit like Ganondorf in The Legend of Zelda tears of the kingdom, when you defeat his first phase, he begins to regenerate his health to a comically absurd amount
Jesus doesn’t exist and Judas’ whole thing revolves around Jesus
It wouldn’t be Judas though
Alright let’s do this:
1:30
This is actually already confirmed to be not true. In the developer commentary stream they outright say that P-2 will still have the most difficult normal encounters in the game, so if P-3 does have a gauntlet before it, it likely won’t be either as hard or as long, probably both.
Lucifer:
Yes it very much is a stupid idea. Angels cannot be Prime Souls as they don’t have human souls to begin with. A human’s soul is transferred into a husk or a lesser angel upon death, which is how humans have an afterlife. Anything other than a human doesn’t have that luxury. Angels, demons, machines, none of them have souls (or at the very least, angels’ and demons’ souls work fundamentally differently from humans’ souls) and therefore they cannot stick around as a Prime Soul after their death. Back on the topic of Lucifer, everything I said about him in my breakdowns of the previous two videos still applies here. His role in the story was to demonstrate that God is not infallible to separate the ULTRAKILL depiction of him from any real world religions’ depictions of him. He is currently only one of countless beings being tormented in Hell, if not dead already, and holds no significance other than that. There will need to be some kind of a buildup to whoever the boss character is, and logically that should happen in Fraud, because if it happened in Treachery it would distract from the buildup to Gabriel. The question then becomes what thematics significance could ULTRAKILL Lucifer have in relation to the layer? He was sent to Hell because he was *honest* to God, being open about his doubts of God’s plan. That level of brutal honestly feels like the opposite of Fraud, no? On top of the lack of thematic significance, what would be his story significance? What series of events could push Heaven to add to his torment by going into Hell and outright killing and imprisoning him? Lastly, on the topic of “Hakita said we won’t fight Lucifer.” That is not true. The closest I can find is actually the opposite, when confronted with screenshots of youtube comments from people saying he deconfirmed Lucifer, he dismissed those comments by saying too many people use “Hakita said it” as a source without any evidence.
Judas:
What kind of interpretation of Judas could ULTRAKILL possibly have? His mere existence as a character in the bible is intrinsically tied to his relationship to Jesus. To adapt any of the twelve apostles, Judas especially, into the setting of ULTRAKILL, they would fundamentally need to be remade from the ground up, and at that point it wouldn’t even be the same character anymore. Unlike with Minos and Sisyphus, the narrative of Judas isn’t really salvageable. On top of that, Judas was regretful of his treacherous actions and his last act was to take his own life. Surely that would have put him in the 7-3 forest and we would have seen some kind of buildup to him already, no? Not to mention, using Judas would break the trend of keeping actual biblical figures in ULTRAKILL to a minimum and make it closer to real world Christianity, which is the opposite of what it’s trying to be.
Cassius and Brutus:
I will concede that this is entirely a matter of preference but I think having a dual Prime Soul boss fight would be unreasonably difficult, and not for the reasons it’s supposed to be. The Prime Soul bosses are known for moving fast and hitting hard. The whole point of them is that a 1v1 with them is an endurance contest. They’re not comparable to the Red/Blue duos because those duos are just beefed up versions of regular enemies which are already designed to be fought in groups. Prime Souls are fundamentally designed to be significantly better than you on their own and having to fight two at once would be near impossible to balance properly. Just as characters though, I think Cassius’ and Brutus’ biggest strength is also their biggest weakness: they were real people. Unlike Minos and Sisyphus, they had extensive lives which had multiple noteworthy events in them, and not just a vague, possibly short tale that limits what aspects of the character you could pull from. This also means it wouldn’t be difficult to repurpose them in a way that fits the setting of ULTRAKILL, they aren’t intrinsically tied to one major event so it’s entirely possible to reinterpret the context of the character while keeping them recognizable. That being said, being real people sort of does away with the mysticism the Prime Soul characters’ names carry. Minos and Sisyphus were major characters in Greek mythology, for milennia their names have been intertwined with tales of gods and monsters and so when those characters appear, you instantly know they’re going to be a big deal. Cassius and Brutus don’t have that luxury, they’re most well known for a political assassination. Not an insignificant event per se, but one that we can rationally understand and recognize as real and tangible. I’m sure the two could be rewritten into something good in ULTRAKILL if they really wanted to but overall I think there are easier and better choices for them to tackle.
Jesus:
Jesus doesn’t exist in ULTRAKILL. Straight up. Go back and watch the beginning of the 7-1 section of the second developer stream. All iconography present in the game that could reasonably traced back to Jesus has been rewritten to hold significance unrelated to him in some fashion. The crosses now represent the tree of life. The paintings that use imagery related to him and the Holy Spirit in Limbo are stock images that they plan to replace soon. The idols, which many mistake for Mary and the baby Jesus, were only designed to reflect the vague concept of parental love and protection. Between these alternate explanations for the iconography and ULTRAKILL’s avoidance of using biblical characters and concepts directly, the game and its developers have gotten as close as possible to saying that Jesus doesn’t exist without outright saying it.
Midas:
I know I bashed people saying that Hakita said things without linking a source earlier but I literally can’t link sources in CZcams comments so you’re just going to have to trust me when I say that he has outright spoken against the possibility of Midas. His exact words were:
“you’d have to be real dumb to put characters named minos and midas in the same story.”
It’s anticlimactic I know, but Occam’s Razor and all that. Not every character needs a big reason to be deconfirmed.
Lilith:
I don’t know anything about the story of Lilith beyond the brief summary you gave here but that’s not all that important. Being a character that comes from a real Abrahamic religion she falls into the same trap many other predictions do, that being contradicting ULTRAKILL’s attempts to separate itself from any real religion. I’m sure I could find some other significance that would contradict the possibility of her being reimagined in this setting but for now I’ll just leave it at that.
Odysseyus:
Yeah I got nothing. The Odyssey is incredibly long and there are so many aspects of Odysseus’ character that could easily be reinterpreted into ULTRAKILL’s setting while still being recognizable. I’ve got nothing to say against him but nothing really to say for him either because I don’t know what the thought process is like for the dev team. Ultimately he’s the most plausible of the characters you’ve suggested here, but a prediction is just a prediction at the end of the day so I wouldn’t yet outright call him likely. Although one thing that probably not many people will notice is that the artwork you used to represent Odysseus is both outdated and isn’t outright supposed to be Odysseyus. I happen to be in communications with the artist behind it. It goes by many names but as far as I’m aware Odysseyus has yet to be one (you can even see that he hasn’t decided in the first comment of the post you linked) and the design has changed a bit since the rendition you used here, check his profile and you’ll see what I mean.
Prometheus:
I think the biggest problem with Prometheus is that he has the potential to be very redundant when present in the same story as ULTRAKILL’s take on Minos. Minos being punished for rebuilding Lust into a paradise could easily be viewed as a parallel to Prometheus’ core narrative of being punished for pushing civilization forward. Not saying it would be impossible, but I definitely think it would be difficult to recontextualize Prometheus in a way that remains recognizable and doesn’t feel redundant. Not inherently a bad choice, just a little too late.
The Minotaur Terminal:
Hell itself. The blanks are for Hell itself. Act 3 is the perfect time to start dropping hints for people that didn’t follow the ARG that Hell is alive and actively chooses to torment instead of just being the place where it happens. It’s a very thinly veiled secret at this point that demons are created directly by Hell to encourage more suffering. The creation of the Minotaur has nothing to do with the P-3 character.

And once you finally meet Death, the 4th and final horseman, sitting on the edge of a cliff overlooking a barren wadteland, who reveals that God asked him to kill God and Death, being the only being who truly knew how God really thought, agreed to it and God's final request was destroy all of his creations. And Death considered the Machines to be the easiest way to pull that off.
Now here's the kicker: Death doesn't bleed, as he was made without blood. However, his Scythe contains the blood of every living thing that has ever lived and ever died, and so, parrying is the ONLY way to heal.
But there's one other gimmick: Death has zero reason to fight you, so you can chose to either fight him or leave him alone. Either way, maybe a portal to Heaven is opened allowing for Machines to very easily enter Heaven.

@@Albertable oh I misread what the comment was saying. I thought he was saying fighting hell would make more sense than those two
my theory is Odysseus. He sailed for 10 years out of sheer will to see his wife again (souls become prime souls when they have a lot of willpower). He's in the eighth part of the fraud layer in dante's Inferno. He's a greek King and has a connection to a tree (like the tree of life mentioned in 7-1 and the olive tree that was his bed).
maybe he stole a ferryman's boat and was punished for it, or maybe he was punished for using the tree of life as a bed.
also, titans might not have souls like humans so it probably won't be Prometheus
I propose Tantalus Prime.
-Greek king.
-Known for his punishment. Being put into a pool near a fruit baring tree, both would move away from him if he tried to eat or drink.
-Committed the three sins of Act 3
-Killed his own son as sacrifice. (Violence.)
-Tried to trick the gods into eating him. (Fraud.)
-The gods loved and trusted him and he was hosting a meal at his house so by committing the other two sins is is also committing a 3rd. (Treachery)
I would also suggest King Lycaon. He basically killed his son and made Zeus eat him and as punishment was made the first werewolf. Could be seen as an act of treachery and violence against god, family, and oneself.
This is my favorite theory and the one I've been running with. With how prevalent trees are in 7-3 I think it would make sense for it to be him. Another theory I saw was nimrod, who created the tower of babel. It would be cool to just enter P3 only to be confronted with a giant winding tower.
OH THAT'S GOOOOOOD
Good thing none of us are designing Ultrakill
Or else it would suck
i was literally writing optimus prime in the comments as you said that.
Personally, I think it would be cool to have either Dante, Vergil or both as the prime bosses, since they were the first ones to journey through hell.
Also, you can't tell me it _wouldn't_ be hilarious if Vergil Prime's theme suddenly turned into Bury the Light.
Fym they were the first to journey through Hell, the entire story is about them encountering centuries worth of people who were already there
@@StickBreightley those people are already dead though, Dante and Vergil just walked through it without being dead.
If Virgil dies first, Dante gains invincibility and Subhuman starts playing "YOU CANNOT KILL ME"

Minotaur entry:

ARSI PATALA
Fuck the HELL ITSELF theory
Hakita prime
Honestly a Prime sanctum without any enemies and just a build up to the boss room would be terrifying especially after P-2
The prime soul would probably have to have commited the sin of fraud or treachery, since there was no prominent husk in violence. Or maybe hakita brings in someone from heaven. Idk.
Odysseus committed fraud by designing the Trojan Horse. He is also referenced in the Divine Comedy during the fraud chapter. It would be cool if Odysseus Prime’s prison is a trojan horse
You could make the argument that it doesn’t matter what sin the original version of the character is known for. Minos is most known for being treacherous towards Poseidon by refusing to sacrifice the bull and Sisyphus is known for spending his whole life repeatedly getting away with fraudulent behavior, lying to the gods to continuously escape death.
ULTRAKILL’s interpretations of the characters it uses for the Prime Souls are wildly different from their original stories so using the original myths as a way to gague who it could be is a faulty system.
Ok, hear me out.
*GOD PRIME*
Both Minos and Sisyphus were kings in the layers they were sent to, but maybe it was just because those layers were somewhat habitable. In my eyes, if a ruler was sent to Violence they would probably end up running to Fraud or Treachery since Violence is a literal warzone and it'd be very hard to make anything permanent in there.
@@The21stGamer You think they would try to escape inhospitable torture by running deeper into the inhospitable torture?

The original greek myth actually never mentions the daughter thing and he never died in it, instead he just was turned back to normal by the Gods when they realized what a mistake it was.
The editing is so crazy its melting my eyes faster than the streetcleaners took to melt 1-2
For those blank letters in the Minotaur entry, *_HELL ITSELF_* fits perfectly. It goes along nicely with the theory that hell is a living thing.
the two covered words in the terminal data are probably "hell itself" it fits quite nicely
I doubt it,if it were to be "hell itself" then that would mean hell didn't make the other demons,which doesn't really make sense,i think the blank spaces would be the name of someone who would inspire hell to make demons
@@ron9174 well hell itself could have made the minatour and that's the context for the blanked out words. It half makes sense to me but if you think otherwise that's fine
@ron9174 hell makes demons. The demons are formed when hell mass is poured into a shell. And guess what the -Minotaur's- appearance is.
@@notjebbutstillakerbal thats not what im saying,what i'm saying is that hell makes demons without it being mentioned,and if the ̶M̶i̶n̶o̶t̶a̶u̶r was also made by hell then you wouldn't need to mention it's creator since you can figure it out yourself,but it's mentioned in his terminal that he was made by someone/something. Also Hell Mass isn't the only thing that can make demons,In the Leviathan and Mannequin entry,we can see that instead of Hell Mass,you can use living beings to create demons,so it's not like demons can't be created by a human who also used human flesh.
@ron9174 Hell made the mannequins while being inspired by guttermen, there is literally no piece of evidence that suggests that a human can or has ever created a demon. "The fools who attempted would realize far too late that angels were not all that kept them from freedom, as the Garden of Forking Paths is no ordinary labyrinth, but one of malicious intent, overseen with cunning cruelty." (Mannequin terminal entry) The Garden of Forking paths is part of hell, which explains how the garden made mannequins.
"The Sullen, in their motionlessness, were eventually fused together by the same force that created the other demons [...]" (Leviathan terminal entry) Hear that? "Same force that created the other demons" which is hell.
"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 CREATED TO CRUSH THE MACHINE.

(Mysterious book sitting in a alleyway on the 1000-THR "EARTHMOVER" 's back) "YOU WERE BEAUTIFUL, OUTSTRETCHED LIKE ANTENNAS TO HEAVEN", Hell finds the EARTHMOVERS beautiful. "Though its creator considered it beautiful, a personalized monument of death and despair, Minos was terrified of the grotesque caricature of his past mistakes and cast it into the Garden of Forking Paths, hoping it would never be seen again." (Minotaur terminal entry) Who is the being sadistic enough to find a mess of flesh and stone that somewhat looks like a bull a beautiful monument and proceed to gift this monstrosity to a man with a terrible past that involves bulls? Maybe the same creature who thinks the giant death lammas beautiful?? Yeah, sounds like the same guy to me. Plus, if you still dont believe hell created the minotaur, read this: Minotaur's entry is written in red text, same as the THR book, which has been proven by the P-2 Arg. Which means Hell Itself wrote both of those.
There, i used your own "evidence" against you.
So in conclusion:
Mannequins = Hell made it;
Leviathan = Hell made it;
Minotaur = Hell made it;
You = Are wrong.
8:51 I can't remember if this was thought of before or after this video came out, but the blank letters could be "Hell Itself" cause we know is alive, and the fact that it perfectly lines up is very interesting
1:12 I might sound crazy but I think the buildup for P-3 will be a gauntlet of fighting the greek giants. Hakita already said that P-2 will be the hardest **normal** encounters in the game, so for it to be a gauntlet wouldn't make sense, and I think just a normal walk like in P-1 would be boring as well. In Dante's Inferno, the giants also serve as the guardians of Treachery, and it could make sense for them to be repurposed as guardians of the third prime soul.
Also, the past two prime souls have been greek kings, so for the third one to be a giant wouldn't make sense.
Imagine Midas as a prime soul and he just keeps throwing gold coins at you. The chaos.
But you can shoot the coins
Hakita: "I hate people who make absolutely wrong predictions on P-3 and 9-2 as much as the next guy. Guesses? Booooooooooo."
Still Hakita: "Buuuuuuut"
Prometheus Prime works so well with the themes of the Prime bosses its actually insane. Like Minos and Sisyphus, he tried to help humanity by defying god, he has immense willpower, being tortured infinitely, and he fits with the theme of treachery, betraying the gods by helping humanity. And he also fits with the theme of Greek mythology for all of the Prime bosses, and it makes sense that he would be the strongest of them all, being a titan. Also if your theory about treachery is correct about it being ice themed, it would make thematic sense for him being imprisoned there, with him delivering fire to humanity.
at 8:42 King Nimrod fit perfectly there and he's a pretty good candidate for P-3
Nimrod has connections to an idiot, idiot prime? Also nimrod did not make the Minotaur, Hell did
Nimrod's name means great hunter. Even in the Bible, it's said that people would see great hunters and say, "that hunter is like Nimrod!" Apparently, it only means idiot because of a sarcastic joke in Looney Tunes involving a really bad hunter that made the use of Nimrod's name into that of an idiot.@@OST-jp4cc
I understand but the current association is with idiot. I wouldn’t think it means great hunter, I would think it means idiot
@@RushWheeler The Primes are not just characters from the Bible tho, it's from the Divine Comedy by Dante Aligheri, so if Nimrod doesn't appear in it he won't make the cut.

Honestly I’ve been wondering what levels based on Purgatory and Heaven would be like
Some basic criteria for a prime soul:
- a greek king
- somehow sent to hell
- strong spirit
- is powerful enough to fight heavens
Any ideas?
8:45 the blanked out section fits HELL ITSELF pretty well judging by the fact that hell is alive
You forgot one option. Tantalus Prime. None of the other prime bosses are gods, neither is Tantalus. My reasoning is because Tantalus committed the sin of Treachery against the gods, he did this by taking ambrosia and giving it to his people. He is my personal choice because of well, Treachery. Hope you like my idea on P-3.
8:40 lot's of people theorize that the redacted bit actually says "HELL ITSELF" as it fits and because we already know that hell is, in fact, alive.
just imagine that P-3 would be released on april 1st and will be a very big florp with instakill attacks, that would be pretty hilarious but also stupid
I think that if P-3 boss does somehow end up being Judas Prime, (which I kinda doubt because it doesn't fit with the other greek characters for Minos and Sisyphus) that the pre-boss challenge similar to the Flesh Prison and the P-2 Guantlet would be Brutus and Cassius Prime, a dual Prime Soul boss similar to the two Cerberus on 0-5, and fighting two Prime Bosses at once would be horrifying and is what I think the pre-boss challenge would be for P-3
For the build up i predict an archangel. An archangel with the sole task of stopping the prime soul from escaping. An archangel that has the potential to fight one on one with a prime soul that is locked up in *the deepest part of hell* so yeah its a 3 boss in a row
Here me out: In a few levels, there have been jokes about the Something Wicked (it spawning just to disappear in Greed, the noise being reused in Violence). Y'wanna know what would be a hilarious punchline to these jokes? The third prime sanctum actually having a Something Wicked as part of the journey to the Prime boss :)
Habitat has built up Gabriel to be this incredibly well known and infamous dude
If he’s gonna die soon it’d make sense for him to be a prime
habitat
It does not make sense. Husks become prime souls, angels can’t. They have no after life after they die which means no Husk to turn into a prime soul
Seeing how P-1 has a slow build up and P-2 has a bunch of enemies I think P-3 will have its own unique cinematic build up.
Hey, I just theory crafted with someone on a different comment concerning who will be the prime soul in P-3, so I'm just gonna copy and past everything here so more people can see it since it just makes so much sense:
@mugiwaramartinez1319: Because of all these I suggest King Nimrod. He ordered the construction of the Tower of Babel which would have challenged Gods reign over heaven (an act of fraud and treachery) and his punishment was the creation of all languages. While he isn't hinted at, I could see it fitting in that the blanks in the Minotaur's entry could fit in the spelling of "King Nimrod." Hakita likely wouldn't make it hell itself since its stated in its entry that it wanted to escape hell and see the sun one last time. Y'know before V1 Lobotomized it. And just a little food for thought, a majority of Violence involves climbing up to a degree, and it could be seen at its peak when fighting the earth moved and in its stage name "Like antennas to Heaven". It could easily be seen in relation to the tower of babel. And if Minos gives us anything to believe, prime souls are well aware of what happens on earth and King Nimrod could have rebuilt the earthmovers in defiance of god and punished by Gabriel
@The_Results: Not to mention the fact that 7-S, despite it being a joke level, is a library, and when you go outside and look up, what do you see? A massive tower meaning 7-S could be the tower of babel. But I don't think that the stuff about climbing relates to the size of the tower of babel, it most likely relates to Jacob's ladder, which he also commissioned to build. In the story of Jacob's ladder it is said that he built this ladder off of Jacob's dream in order to make a way to and from the heavens and the earth. This is important because in 7-4 there is a secret book in one of the alleyways which states from the wiki:
"THIS IS THE ONLY WAY IT COULD HAVE ENDED. WAR NO LONGER NEEDED ITS ULTIMATE PRACTITIONER. 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 .
The pages of the book are blank."
The end of the second paragraph clearly is talking about the earthmover and how it's just constantly fighting blindly, but if you think of it in this context, it shows a story of King Nimrod climbing his ladder, and being struck down from it. This would also make a sort of theme when it comes to Kind Nimrod and the 2 other prime souls, as they all defied their creators in their own ways. Minos was passive, standing in protest. Sisyphus was aggressive, building an army. And King Nimrod was reliant/diplomatic, building a ladder to go to paradise and making a library to spread info for all to learn. 3 forms of fighting against the oppression of heaven.
Good thinking! Here have a cookie!
honestly my personal candidate is Eve Prime, she ticks all the boxes for a good final boss
- is the original mother of all of humanity, therefore also the mother of every single demon in Ultrakill
- is referenced in Dante's Inferno, methinks
- betrayed God, therefore ABSOLUTELY fits Treachery
- could 100% have a cool motivation to be determined to fight, there's many ways you can take it there
The characters spell "John Prime" who will be the boss of P-3 and will be the hardest boss in gaming
Big johninator prime, hes back for revenge.
FULLEST AUTO
I have a theory that once every level in the game is complete including the secret levels and the Prime levels, there will be a 4th Prime level called P-P and will feature Hakita as a boss

**"RECONSTRUCT WHAT?"**
@@Kiuro *THERE'S NOTHING LEFT!*
Considering the crossover between Dante's Inferno and Greek mythology when choosing prime souls, my bet would be Antaeus. My other bet would be a gauntlet against the "former" giants (dead, now prime souls) that were meant to guard Cocytus.
I feel like all the enemies will be dead and the giant gate broken and you just see the boss stareing
YOOOOO
My theory is Adam and Eve could be the 3rd prime soul, they did commit the first sin. Not to mention they’d have a pretty good dynamic, I feel like the fight would be the Karnak twins from Darktide on crack, one of them gets up close and deals most of the damage, while the other one takes shots at you from afar, I also feel like making the voice actors for A&E the same as the Karnak twins would be a good idea.
The blanked out name in the minotaur entry is for "Hell itself"
Honestly, these predictions for P--3 are quite unique, but I noticed a small pattern when it came to the prime soul selection. Whenever a soul is picked, they're usually associated with a particular level: Minos Prime had his corpse rule over Lust, and some of Sisyphus' followers are now the enemy known as the Sisyphean Insurrectionist. By this logic, the first prime soul was in the second layer of the first act, and the second prime soul was in the first layer of the second act. Another thing I noticed was that these prime souls are all Greek kings that are part of the Greek Mythology, and can(I'm stretching this) be associated with the sin of the layer they "reside" in.
With that said, I think that the next prime soul would have to follow these conditions: It must be a Greek King that can be associated with the sin of Treachery. If you're wondering why this layer, it's because never once has a prime soul been associated with the third layer of any of the other 2 acts. With these conditions, this leaves us with not many options. With these conditions, I think the last prime soul will be Tantalus Prime. Tantalus is a Greek king, and he served his own son to the Gods since he had no sacrifice for the gods. According to Dante's Inferno, this would be considered a betrayal of family, which would mean that Tantalus would most likely be found in the first part of treachery: Caina, where all betrayers of family reside. I think I've said enough; I'm open to criticism, so let me know what you think.
Plot twist: P-3 just opens and the exit is just there, not even enough space for any layer detail, its just the red metal of the elevator area.
There is nothing else
PEAK LEVEL DESIGN 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
8:49 crazy theory, I’ve seen people say that the characters are hell itself, soo what if it is just hell itself? It would be such a good idea for the final boss (I think) and would make a lot of sense
''i feel like it would be a purple icy landscape'' i think that the next prime soul could be prometheus prime the god of fire''
I think Prometheus takes the cake for P-3's boss fight. I mean, he (or at least his concept) is most likely for the bossfight. He fits the criteria for Treachery, like how Minos' theme is Lust (city of Lust, viewed punishing lust as unnecessary, etc) and Sisyphus is associated with Heresy (challenging Heaven itself, saying "fuck it we ball" all the goddamn time). Prometheus, after all, betrayed the gods by giving fire to humanity, which would fit Treachery. Plus, he's also from Greek Mythology like the other two
The Prime Soul will come from Fraud, not Treachery. The set up for a prime soul is throughout a layer and stuffing it, in what is supposed to be a climax layer, is messy. He was also not human in the myth, it just makes more sense to choose a human character than dramatically change the story of a Titan.
what if multiple bosses ? like you defeat the first prime soul and then you go to the another one like "it's not over yet mf"
wait, hear me out.
Two prime souls at once.
Hear me out, 2 minoses
An explanation to why Gabriel Prime is stupid:
1) Gameplay reasons. Making the player fight the same character 4 times is incredibly idiotic. It's boring.
2) Lore reasons. Prime souls are people who have unfinished business. Gabriel has already eradicated the council, and has accepted his death. Gabriel has finished his business.
3) Hakita reasons.
RECONSTRUCT W H A T ?
THERE'S NOTHING LEFT
what if P-3 is the friends we made along the way?
Midas prime has already been deconfirmed. Hakita said in some discord message that I am too lazy to dig up that one would have to be rather stupid to add Midas to a game that already has a character named Minos.
I'm personally super in favor of Daedalus Prime! Think about it. Daedalus was a talented inventor who was experienced in contraptions and automata, which would create an interesting narrative dynamic with Ultrakill's machines, and with certain enemies such as the Soldier, (We still don't know who created them)
Daedalus checks all the criteria in that he has no connection to the real world, yet would still have a place in Ultrakill as a prominent figure of mythology and a close connection with Minos.
Daedalus is also fully human and demonstrates a lot of willpower through his creations. Which means he fulfills the requirements to be a prime soul. Yet he's also done plenty of sin in his life, so it's a safe bet he'll end up in hell.
Then, there's also a ton of iconic imagery to go with him. Imagine having to fight and navigate your way through a frosty, flesh labyrinth and defeat a 2nd version of the minotaur. Then Daedalus comes in with a bronze and copper color scheme. With wings attached to his back. Would be absolutely epic.
For 8:49 I think those eleven characters spell "hell itself" since Hell is an alive entity in the UK lore, And the mannequins enemies were made by Hell, since it found fascination in observing the Robots Humans made in the last war
Why does everyone leave Solomon aside? Taking into account that he complies with the fact that he is a king like Minos and Sisyphus
King Erysichthon is my guess. He was a greek king (just like Sisyphus and Minos, his crime was destroying Demeter's grove and one of Demeter's most beloved Dryads. His punishment was insatiable hunger. No matter how much he ate he was always hungry, and the more he ate the hungrier he became. This goes on and on until he's spent all of his money on food, leaving his kingdom in shambles, until he eventually eats himself. He is quite a minor character in the greek mythos but so was Minos.
I dont really think p3 will be a person that wasnt a greek king or at least a part of the myths.
9:15 optimus prime doesnt even exist irl 👺
P-3 is just gonna be every single prime soul at once then god sees your power and goes "machine you've bested some of the most powerful of my creations now you must fight the creator."
Of course, the one that made the Minotaur is most likely
Arsi Hakita, third Prime Soul.
(my theory) Hakita himself going be the boss for P-3 and you have to fight every boss again before you get to him (checkpoints after defeating 3 bosses so u don't have to start over) then when u get to fight him, he summons anything in game by random so it's literally Hell.
BUT THAT'S JUST A THEORY
4:53 hakita has said that jesus doesn't exist in ultrakill lore
even if he did, why would he become a prime soul?
One theory that I think is incredibly underrated is Daedalus prime. Daedalus, just like Prometheus is a master craftsman. According to Greek mythology, He (accidentally) created the Minotaur, and when he tried to give it to king Minos as a gift, Minos was disgusted and threw both Daedalus and the Minotaur into the labyrinth. Daedalus also killed his son accidentally.
I wouldn't say Daedalus killed Icarus. He very clearly told him not to fly too high and he just did anyways. Daedalus even went insane from grief afterwards so he deeply regretted it. But other than that, I do think Daedalus would be a fun option, he just doesn't have the willpower
the flesh prision will be a size 2 fish
Prometheus could steal the fire in another sense
Taking the combat style of every enemy youve encountered as his own and comboing them against you. He fights you using the power of creativity and technology. Bam! Combos you off of a coin hit, goes for a boulder slam, dashes left and hucks a light spear.

@florinaghimpeteanu5944 it would be too oddly specific and strange given the context to randomly have a king’s name in the middle of text that is otherwise completely unrelated. “Hell itself” fits much more naturally and seems to fit in line with the direction that hakita seems to be going with the ultrakill lore (hell being a sentient being)
@@infinityyworks i think your right. i was just trying to give my own guess. i was kinda going off the fact that both primes are kings and looked a lot like a pattern to me

What are demons made of?
Hell mass!
Who made all the other demons?
Hell itself!
I like to imagine near the end of the gauntlet, the prime soul shows up like you’re just fighting in a room of enemies, and when you get down to like the last one, they just get vaporized by the soul who busted into the room
I feel like before you get to the main boss you will have to kill like 10 bosses to get to him, i think that hakita will make all of that so p-3 will actually be the kind of fight only a few people will beat ASPECIALLY those who will try to P rank it.
8:48 I was thinking it could maybe be King Aegeus. He fits the themes of the other prime souls than the other candidates, and even fits the terminal entry. There’s no definitive answer yet though, so keep theorizing! It’s very entertaining.
The Minotaur has absolutely no connection to the Third prime soul and is only belonging to Hell

Rules for qualifying as a prime sanctum candidate based on what hakita has said and past experiences.
1. Needs to have something to do with the second layer of their respective act (Minos is the king of layer 2, Sisyphus built an army in layer 4.)
2. Needs be some what seen or hinted to throughout the game (Paintings and books of Minos and Sisyphus for example)
3 and 4. Has to be known as someone from some form of mythology and/or known as someone who has challenged the gods and failed. (Minos fighting for his right to love, Sisyphus fighting for freedom and originally tricking the gods to stay alive.)
5. Cannot be an already established major character, angelic or demonic being, or maybe or maybe not a machine. (Major character would be lazy and not likely to happen, angelic beings are unlikely to happen due to Gabriel's slaughter of them as shown at the end of act one, and even then angelic beings are soul-like themselves as shown with the virtues, and demonic beings are just fallen angels and/or mindless/tormented beyond mental function which would not be good story wise, and with machines, although I do think it is unlikely, take all these with a grain of salt since it would be like hakita to switch it up on us, and due to things like the iconic "Mankind Is Dead. Blood Is Fuel. Hell Is Full" and with V2 clearly having emotions like being enraged and bowing at the start of the first fight, machines could maybe generate a kind of artificial soul, keep it in mind.)
Hope this helps and maybe sparks some idea's! Let me know if I should tweak somethings and don't mind to give some insight if you want!
Machines don’t have souls and definitely cannot go prime. Also demons are not fallen angels, they are Hell mass stuffed into a stone shell. Angels don’t have afterlife’s so they can’t turn into a Husk to turn into a prime
Because of all these I suggest King Nimrod. He ordered the construction of the Tower of Babel which would have challenged Gods reign over heaven (an act of fraud and treachery) and his punishment was the creation of all languages. While he isn't hinted at, I could see it fitting in that the blanks in the Minotaurs entry could fit in the spelling of "King Nimrod." Hakita likely wouldn't make it hell itself since its stated in its entry that it wanted to escape hell and see the sun one last time. Y'know before V1 Lobotomized it. And just a little food for thought, a majority of Violence involves climbing up to a degree, and it could be seen at its peak when fighting the earth moved and in its stage name "Like antennaes to Heaven".

But I don't think that the stuff about climbing relates to the size of the tower of babel, it most likely relates to Jacob's ladder, which he also commissioned to build. In the story of Jacob's ladder it is said that he built this ladder off of Jacob's dream in order to make a way to and from the heavens and the earth. This is important because in 7-4 there is a secret book in one of the alleyways which states from the wiki:
"THIS IS THE ONLY WAY IT COULD HAVE ENDED. WAR NO LONGER NEEDED ITS ULTIMATE PRACTITIONER. 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 .
The pages of the book are blank."
The end of the second paragraph clearly is talking about the earthmover and how it's just constantly fighting blindly, but if you think of it in this context, it shows a story of King Nimrod climbing his ladder, and being struck down from it. This would also make a sort of theme when it comes to Kind Nimrod and the 2 other prime souls, as they all defied their creators in their own ways. Minos was passive, standing in protest. Sisyphus was aggressive, building an army. And King Nimrod was reliant/diplomatic, building a ladder to go to paradise and making a library to spread info for all to learn. 3 forms of fighting against the oppression of heaven.
Good thinking! Here have a cookie! 🍪
@@lyallaurum the Minotaur spelling is for Hell, not whatever P-3 might be
All these “clues” for Nimrod seem like stretch’s just to make the idea make sense. Hints about a prime soul are IN the layer they are mentioned. Is there a prime mentioned anywhere in Violence? No. That layer is about Hell, especially the Minotaur.
Yeah there is a tower in 7-S but you know what’s related to Hell specifically? The library of babel. Do you know what could possibly hold an infinite number of books? A tower. Yeah it’s a tower but it’s still the library of babel.
The thing is, what if Gabriel is killed? He committed a major crime against the council and could possibly fall from grace. He has been shown capabilities of strong willpower, and he has the intense ambition to defeat V1. And if Gabriel is in hell, I think Hell itself would want him locked up.
Jesus has been confirmed non-canon in Ultrakill
My personal theory is that P-3 is the battle against God who imprisoned himself in Hell for his actions
Other creative theories I've seen in the community are Hell itself and Hercules Prime
Hell itself won’t happen and Hercules is a refreshing thing to hear but does not seem likely
The Minotaur in Greek Mythology was a creation of Poseidon that swooned King Minos’ wife.
In Ultrakill, the Minotaur lore entry has a blank space for its creator. The Minotaur was gifted to King Minos, but he found it repulsive. Given that Poseidon has been referenced in Ultrakill, I’m surprised no one has thought of looking into his lineage.
King Agenor
King Amykos
King Anthas
King Eleius
King Minyas
King Neleus
King Ogyges
King Sithon
And though not a king, Triton would fit the bill.
Each one of these kings don’t mention the Minotaur, but they’re all in relation to Poseidon in mythology. Ultrakill has bent Greek myths before with Minos and Sisyphus, so I wouldn’t be surprised if a king like Sithon is chosen for this.
(Sithon btw was a king of a city in Thrace who would promise the hand of his daughter Pallene and his Kingdom if he lost to a suitor in a duel of single combat…maybe interesting.)
