"DESTROY" = You are immediately destroyed "YOU CAN'T ESCAPE" = You literally can't escape him "BEGONE" = You are gone "THIS WILL HURT" = It hurts good to see that the prime bosses have kept their theme of saying what they're going to do and doing it
The fact that he can't teleport, he just straight up moves that fast makes it even worse. Instead of flying toward you at Mach 20, he just fucking power walks towards you

I really like the subtle references in this game. For example, when Minos Prime says “die.” This is actually a subtle reference to the fact that he kills you
But thanks to my lawyer (who's indeed a good man) I won the case (got a P-rank) despite Minos' violent false accusations (no sir I'm definitely not related to human extinction in any way, it's not like blood is my fuel)

@HellmanakaUselessTeamakaDevad MUTHEFUCKING CALEB!!!! WE WERE FIGHTING THE SLAYER OF CHERNABOG THIS WHOEL TIME!?!??! No wonder this fight is so ball busting, we're fighting the protagonist from Blood
I remember hearing this song for the first time, I go down to the comments and read a huge one about Minos Primes lore and that part of the songs plays the exact moment im reading how tragic minos primes story is. I teared up so bad when I read smth about how he lost everything, all the love he had for the children who he was seperated from, torn and shattered. That part of the song is one of my favorites ive ever heard in any boss theme. It makes me want to stop fighting him and just let him feel peace, even if it's by taking out a camera
@@mouses_HK when he says weak hes saying it to himself, because the blocks on his head represent buildings he cared for, and he's putting them in danger
I convinced my friend to get ultrakill. When he fought minos, he told me "I hate him, he killed me for an hour straight." After I told him to go watch a video covering his lore and story, he simply told me: "I'm so sorry..."
Minos was given to me in 10 attempts, 22 attempts took the flesh to prison. Minos is easy to read, he shouts out his attacks, his combos are parried not to mention "JUDGMENT!!!!" which are parried
the fact that my name is also gabriel made my first time seeing minos' intro sequence like 4x more intense because it felt like he was threatening me personally
Holy shit I just realized: Minos was killed for believing that desire was not a sin. Yet his soul manifested because of desire, because of the people he protected seeking his victory.
@@lunyxappocalypse7071not really he desired his soul back. That's how prime souls are made. By the souls sheer willpower to continue fighting allows it to manifest.
Idk where it went, but I remember seeing a comment describing how in an alternate timeline Minos won and was absolutely ready to tear into Gabriel like a pit bull in a kindergarten and I absolutely fucking agree.
If thy end is now, then that means you got judged, and that means you are weak, and that means you are useless, and that means you are about to get crushed, which means you are about to die
who would win The king of the lust layer of hell, having been beheaded after reforming the layer into a utopian world, had his soul locked in a living prison, and forced to watch his own corpse destroy all that he has ever loved and owned, trapped with his guilt and belief, Minos literally made his soul's determination and will go beyond mortal standards, so much of this, that he doesn't even need a physical host, he can literally exist out of pure willpower, he can manipulate his form how he wants, and has superhuman speed and strength. He is literally the embodiment of true determination. a walking nikkon/gopro/chinese-owned CCTV camera/snake camera used for colonoscopy and 13 cents
lol who the fuck said Minos was the judge of Hell he was just a guy from Greek mythology although the only myth I remember him from is when his wife fucked a bull and gave birth to the minotaur, which is named the *MINO-TAUR* because his stepdad is Minos and he's half bull (taurus is bull in Latin)
I feel like minos is actually the good guy in this story. He has a completely valid reason to kill you, and even so he does it in an honerable way, making sure you know when he's attacking.
@@thenumberfour6455 the middle section is in the fight, the slow build up is done in the cutscene and is skipped if you choose to skip the cutscene i believe
"haha that's cool, wonder who came out of the prison Yooo holy shit who the fuck are you my dude. You're cool. Are we gonna fuck up some shit?" "But thy crimes against humanity cannot be forgiven..." "Wait, what, the fuck did I do oh no come on man-"
I love how Minos is what’s called a “prime soul”, meaning that his willpower is so strong that he doesn’t need his husk to manifest and promptly break your neck.
Crazy how the king Minos in IRL Greek mythology was known for being a unfair judge and a cruel tyrant yet in ultrakill it’s almost as if he finally grew a heart and in turn has finally become the fair and righteous ruler that the lust layer saw him for.
@@lukiValentwoww bro can't believe you forgot about King Minos of Crete, the other King Minos of Crete that is different from the King Minos of Crete, judge of the underworld you're thinking of. soooo embarrassing.... bro needs to read more Diodorus Siculus and Plutarch.....
Sisyphus was quite underwhelming. He's merely the dessert after finishing the barrage of enemies before him. Sisyphus is at a similar difficulty to minos, having basically the same attacks but a bit faster and harder to parry. I think this is reflected well in the OST, having Tenebre Rosso Sangue be a much more energetic song than Pandemonium or War, with the latter two being in essence similar to P-1's soundtrack.
And if you want to go mega philosophical, you could say that if everything branches from chaos, order is another construct conceived from chaos to decorate it into acceptable patterns for those who perceive it.
This song is honestly amazing. It hits hard as it really conveys the "fallen king" better than anything I've ever heard. And with that Requiem leitmotif shows you how melancholy and depressing Minos and Lust's story is. And this song is truly amazing because it makes you realize *you aren't the hero in this story.*
You have no idea how much I was hoping you would beat Minos Prime and he would just be like "Hey nice warmup, i'm gonna go dropkick Heaven into the core of the earth, feel free to come help in Layer 8"
@@turtlelord8021 that would be funny, but with the current events, now minos would probably be confused, I mean he still wants to kill gabriel, but he will congratulate him for fucking slaying the holy council
I like Minos Prime because you're basically facing a fighting game player in a first person shooter. You rarely see fights that mix fighting styles THAT hard.
Can I just say quickly, if we got a cosmetic only upgrade to the arm that had the snakes that are around minos prime' arms on our arms that would be so sick as a trophy of completion.
man, would be cool if we got skins for arms from P level P rank completions. P-1 for feedbacker, P-2 for knuckleblaster, P-3 for whiplash, and P ranks on all of the P levels gives a skin for an arm we have yet to see.
Coming back to Order and P-1 is now sad, we genuinely crush the hopes and dreams of a kind and just ruler who came back from death only to perish a third time by the hands of a machine We learn what a cruel warlord is and what his prime soul can do We are the baddies :(
Look at the good part, after all life in the universe is slayed, there will be no more suffering! And God's plan for a clean canvas to start all over again will be done!
Didn't see many people talking about this, but the music producers did a phenomenal job relating mino's theme back to his origin in the lust ring by adding a motif of requiem in this song! Just though that was cool. :)
Specially because requiem in death at 20,000 volts sounds more subtle (This level is basically a piece of the lust revolution), at glory, it starts to sound stronger (the room where glory starts playing is the room where you enter the prime door) and finally, the true requiem w/Minos prime, it's like we're getting closer to the king of lust (something similar happens with the spinal staircase)
You can hear the immense guilt Minos feel for failing his people, It sounds like the screams of all the dead souls, their only sin was wanting to live a real life.
The concept of prime souls being souls whose willpower has reached critical mass is just so amazing. By trapping Minos's soul in the flesh prison, his anger and his regrets that he wasn't strong enough to protect the last functional human souls kept reverberating back to himself, causing him to essentially go supernova during his fight with V1. I can't wait to see what the story will be for the other prime souls.
@@fashionsoulsonlysouls5575 i dont own the game, sadly. I'm broke I've read bits and pieces of random things thinking it was just small justifications for weird parts of the game but I guess there's far more lore than I thought
@@techhy_ save up $20 and buy it soon. the price will go up as more content is added, so the earlier you buy the game, the less money you spend on it/the more money you save. it might end up being like, $60 when it's complete.
I absolutely LOVE how prominent and meaty the percussion is in this track. The repeated back and forth rhythm it falls into every 3 beats combined with the occasional frantic set all slammed out on one instrument just really give it this "unyielding force" sort of feel, and I think it plays so fucking well into Minos' character and the song title, not even mentioning the melody itself.
Its kind of neat how in ultrakill lore The power of your soul manifestation in hell is mostly based on how you greatly you are remembered. Minos was just a human, but a great king The BELIEF in Minos and reverence for him is what gave him nuclear dropkicks in the afterlife. (edit: this means Conquerors Haki is a thing in hell. V1 is gaining it as he goes) (edit: FUCK. WE HAVE TO GET SLAP BOXED BY GUMBALL NICANTUS WATERSON PRIME)
actually, we see this in minos's real body, the giant corpse. hes a giant because he was a great king. however, minos prime, is just his soul that has so much willpower has a physical form, a prime soul
@@raccocooon7305 the parasite infested corpse shambling around Lust isn't king minos's actualy body, it's the husk that manifested after his death and the reason we can even fight him is because the angels went out of their way to remove his soul from the husk, traping it in the flesh prison.
Ok, now i imagine how strong people from the time when humanity got wiped out by the machines became (especially commanding officers as such) imagine how much belief was in them
better than P-2 Edit: I have to change my mind, p-2 was a great experience, but I will never play that again other than to style on sisy prime. I am not ready for p-3
Please... bring back the good old days of P-1. P ranking you was fun, a worthy challenge. P ranking P-2 makes me want to individually remove each hair from my face and head. (and yet, part of me still so badly wants P-3 to be so much worse...)
@@davisdf3064 yea idk what it is but I love wanting to punch my monitor while I'm playing a game. It gives victory a much sweeter taste. Beating doom on ultra nightmare doing celeste c sides playing sekiro and obviously p rank P-1
man there would be like .2% of the playerbase able to play that lvl. I mean getting p rank on prime p-1 is already hard enough, but if p-2 gets even harder? Man o man.
Seeing Minos on his own, with no lore knowledge, you'd already think this was a really cool boss. But looking into the lore, you find what Minos did, how he tried to recreate the Lust layer, but was struck down by the Heavens, forced to watch as his own corpse tore apart every thing he loved. You are not just fighting a boss. You are fighting a man who has lost everything. A man who is so determined and has so much willpower that he doesn't need a physical husk. A man who wants revenge for his fallen kingdom. This is the best boss fight in the entire game so far, if not, it is the best boss in any video game.
The worst thing you can do to a man is take away his meaning. The worst you can do to yourself is cross that man's path again. (idk who made it or if this is the correct quote)
@@pizzarollwithagun4730 Its not that he likes to fight, he likes the idea OF fighting and going against everything despite the odds, he knew that he wouldn't succeed in his rebellion against heaven OR be able to beat V1, but the fact he tried leaves him satisfied.
I just noticed that Minos was the king of lust, and he thought loving one another shouldn't be a sin, he LOVED his people Same with Sisyphus, he was GREEDY for power Damn, in my 300hrs, why didn't I noticed this
For anyone who wants to know the attack patterns: -Judgement: Teleports next to you, then drop kicks you, there's a small window to parry him, if accomplished, the damage is negated and you get a window to attack him. -Thy end is now: Throws 4 punches towards you, the last being parriable, dash trough the first 3 to not get hit. -Prepare thyself: throws 2 kicks, and after that he summons a snake to bite you, only the snake is parriable, more easily accomplished by dashing backwards after the second hit and then parrying the snake. -Die/Crush: He jumps upwards, stays in the air for a few seconds, then smashes you creating a shockwave in the process. He can throw single attacks and not give any voicelines, none of them are parriable except for the snake throw. When he's below 50% health and you're playing on Violent mode, his attacks are no longer parriable, the snake being the only exception to this rule.
The coolest option for the 3rd prime soul fight we get in my opinion would be Adam, the first man. Even further below Brutus, Cassius, and Judas, he stands alone in Eden (because a boss fight in a flower field is always good), banished to remain in the paradise he desecrated in retaliation against god. He cut down the forbidden tree and killed the snake as they were only created to manipulate Eve. Armed with his axe he’d be like a hack n slash character more than Minos’ fighting game. If minos was mad imagine the father of mankind’s reaction.
Ooo and the buildup could be you walking through Eden to get to Adam as he monologues from the stump of the tree. Right before you get to him I don’t know what comes before but last thing he says could be “I cut down the fucking tree.” *fight starts*
And his boss music would be a calm melody and with the boss room being all of Eden you could fit every traversal mechanic and it’d look really nice to see the beautiful landscape slowly become a bloody mess
@@lil_ursa wrote this in 10 minutes or so but you inspired me so here is what I think the monologue would be like "A machine? This far into heaven? You should leave." He takes a short pause as you platform through the level and start seeing soil and roots. "I see you won't follow my advice. Well then, let me tell you a story. 6 hours after I came into existence, 6 hours after the love of my life did too I heard a repugnant soft whisper. It whispered and whispered for hours, days, weeks but time didn't pass. It just kept whispering louder and louder until I found who was whispering, it was a snake on one of the branches of the tree. It kept pushing a single crimson fruit for us to eat, a fruit we were told not to eat by God. And I ate it." The platform gets slightly more intense with time based branches popping out of the walls for you to jump on and get across without falling from the skies. "I found myself banned. A few years after I had children of mine, one of which killed his own brother. But I never moved from the gates of this paradise, grasping onto the memory of what it looked like. Just before I died, I finally noticed; God was all knowing. How could he not know the snake was going to tempt us? That's when I realized, the snake, the tree, the fruit, they were there to manipulate us, to force us onto His little plans. I was banished for the knowledge again, this time, inside this garden." There's a checkpoint in front of you, but you can't see what's on the other side of it due to incredibly bright light. "So I did what any reasonable man would do." You cross the checkpoint, revealing a massive beheaded snake corpse by the side of a rotten fallen tree in the field of pink flowers. Adam gets up from the stump he was sitting in, using his axe as a cane to assist him. "I cut down that fucking tree."
Usually in Ultrakill every boss is trying to keep up with you, even the faster ones like Gabriel or V2, but with Minos you're trying to keep up with HIM
I only think the first fight of Gabriel is him trying to keep up with you. For the second fight, I think the first phase is just the both of you throwing yourselves at eachother with no defense and just spamming everything, and the 2nd phase is a repeat but gabe enjoys it.
@@SunerteThe 1st phase of Gabriel's 2nd fight is him throwing himself at you mindlessly because he's angry af, the 2nd phase is him clearing up his mind and actually concentrating. So basically he starts tilted and transitions to in the zone. But V1 is just in Ultrakilling Mode™ so they win anyway.
@@Rubiktor012 it's ultrakilling time (murders 66.6% of hell including many angels and drives Gabriel himself to insanity, then killing two prime souls)
"Ah... Free at last." "Oh, Gabriel... now dawns thy reckoning." "And thy gore shall *GLISTEN,* before the temples of man!" "Creature of steel... My gratitude upon thee for my freedom." "But the crimes thy kind have commited against humanity, are _not_ forgotten." "And thy punishment... is _death!"_
It seems this game has a few rules applied to it: As big the threat gets, more of a banger the theme will be And the most human the enemy is, the most dangerous he is
I love the fact that all that suffering of a boss fight was just to know the excuse for why it sounds music everytime you use the screen of the weapons and enemies, Hakita is a genius
I think he's talking about how hakita is using certain sound clips from the weapons and enemies in the song and how it making the song was an excuse to use those sound clips for this song
they're talking about the terminal and why it plays the same song every time [SPOILERS] and it implies that the terminals are also sentient machines, just like v1, v2, swordsmachine, etc
3:02 literally gave me chills fighting the KING of the lust layer trapped in his own body watching his corpse destroy EVERYTHING he worked HARD on minos is the definition of judgement, his determination is beyond anything in ultrakill he will unleash the anger that he has held up while being locked in his lifeless corpse he WILL judge you. you WILL die.
Considering how much of a clusterfuck my experience with P-1 was, I'm genuinely scared of what P-2 and P-3 are going to throw at us. UPDATE: Hakita’s recent update is NOT helping my anxiety right now BIG FUCKING UPDATE: P-2 IS HERE. I AM GOING TO HAVE MY DICK RIPPED APART BY THIS ONE AREN'T I Final update: After days of painstaking effort, the door is open. Wish me luck. If I survive, you shall see me in the comments section of "War". Hell have mercy.
I had to SUPERMAN around this Flesh Prison to even stand a chance in the battlefield, and then Minos comes and karate-kid-ragdolls me like a goddamn toy, I thought I had mastered the game earlier but these things are just freaky. I was able to Perfect the second V2 and P-1 today, but to be honest, if they add Layer 5 and 6 in the next update along with P-2, I'll just carry on the trauma and be prepared, Something Wicked this way comes.
@@nova-tm4sg i agree but v2 prime seems impossible because if you read minos bio you'll find that soul primes are just insanely powerful spirit that punish sinners thats why he tried to kill v1 the sins he commited against humanity primes are so powerful even gabriel finds them as a huge threat Also before i forget theres also a chance that v2 is still alive and might return in the final chapter
Hakita, why is your game this absolute god-tier masterpiece of first person shooters? It's so good I literally cannot play any other fps games because they bore me.
I played Doom Eternal after ULTRAKILL. Big mistake. The game seemed so "clunky" and slow, compared to the razor-sharp precision of the controls and the fast mechanics in ULTRAKILL.
seeing as the lore mentions part of Minos’s soul is still inside his body, maybe instead of fighting the corpse of Minos we are fighting his soul? It is called SOUL SURVIVOR after all. edit: holy FUCK I WAS ON POINT
Stephan Weyte absolutely killed it as Minos Prime. It's to the point where I'm hoping that if Jyggalag is ever getting a Daedric quest in The Elder Scrolls 6, Stephan Weyte must be chosen to voice act as him. He's perfect for the role, especially given the context of Jygglag's backstory.
Hakita really didn't hold back on this one did he. A legend of a voice actor, a really hard fight, and then an even harder fight after that, with both of them having unmatched soundtrack.
@@topkek7372 the fact that hakita both programmed one of the best fps games ever and composed the absolute banger of a soundtrack along with it blows my mind, I can't imagine how long he has worked on Ultrakill. Absolute unit of a game dev.
There's like no reward of beating flesh prison and minos prime , here's just a terminal lore. The simple fact than you beat him is satisfacting enough. Same thing for beating Act 1 when you did all P ranks, no rewards, no messages, just sending you back in the menu. There's just you happy than you did it and telling yourself the fire is gone.
