merg looking for the secrets rather then finding them online is the most chad thing ever
Imagine looking the secrets up online instead of just finding them all before going to the Lust layer. I definitely did that as a chad move and totally not because I refused to set my difficulty down for V2.
Merg is such a gigachad
True goat
I had to look online for the 0-S map cuz horror scares me so bad 😅
@NotSoNeon same
Me in the Secret Mission : *Screams my arse off due to the sheer horror I just got into* Merg : It's a stickman !
I mean... It's a scary stickman!
Henry is back for vengeance.
Hey Henry...
@Kris mistakes V1 for RHM because of your sick revolver
@RGOTI truuuuuue
Merg: "Gluttony doesn't have a secret level" The entire ULTRAKILL community: "Heh, oh boy... if only you knew"
Put him in the flesh prison!!
@Meta 'Lets introduce him to the idea of a circle' (he doesn't take it well)
The judgement awaits him
🏃
WEAK
A little guide I made for the other secret missions: 2-S: Three circuit breakers. Destroy all of them to drain the water. Go into where the waterfall was. (Disclaimer: The secret mission will change you.) 3-S: 14 levels to P-Rank (Yes, merg. There are P-ranks in this game.) Find the red lights in the stairways of Gluttony. (Disclaimer: The secret mission will also change you, but for a different reason.)
I'm sure he'll crush p-1
He will need to prepare thyself for 3-S
Cannot wait for him to play p-1 and 2
3-S? do u mean drop kicking simulator (P-1)
I thought he asked for hints not a straight up guide... Thats a pretty big spoiler
Act 1 Layer 2 behind a waterfall, waits a door. break the power, to stop the flow. Layer 3 within the maze of stairs, lies a lone path. behind the grinning door, lies a perfect gate.
Nice!!!
Was that supposed to rhyme?
@Rhyder Lemingdont think so
@Rhyder Lemingyeah and he did it greatly
34:25 Merg: Don’t tell me it’s gonna be the wicked rematch but this time you can’t actually shoot it. No merg that’s a nightmare even worse… It’s puzzles! Merg:
Cherries aren't known to have brains, I'm in trouble
@Merg 😢
@Merg that level was actually a reference to another game known simply as the witness
I would become a member for the sole purpose of that Pepperman emoji
It's never a Merg series without a secret hunting episode!
Gotta find em all
@Merg*gotta catch em all
@supercyannXTV *gotta smash em all
dont kick yourself too hard for not beating secret encounter swords machine easily, the smaller room makes it trickier to dodge without realizing it
I haven't fought that thing in forevee. I wonder how easy it is now that i know how to parry consistently
And also the fact that you fight both phases at once when before you did one then the other
Hints: -Slabs are near the end of the level, the 1st one is up, the 2nd one is down. -Lust secret mission is in 2-3 and is tangentially related to the challenge, you just have to look hard enough... -the secret mission in gluttony is in the staircase room, however you won't be able to access it because you need to p-rank all levels in act I and the prelude. To achieve a p-rank you need to get an s in time, kills and style without dying. If you die before a checkpoint and restart at the start of a level it's fine.
The classic color on the shotgun is because recently in a update the shotgun's texture got improved and it became lighter gray instead of black, but a lot of people missed the original black color it had so Hakita added the "Classic" color to make up for it
I'm always here for merg ultrakill I loved it when merg said "I'm going to ULTRAKILL you"
Infinite ammo has never felt so good.
Bro gonna ultrakill entire species
@Merg Just some cool tech tips for Ultrakill Try shooting the core eject of your shotgun You can punch the coins Try shooting coins with a charged up blue revolver or the railgun Have fun with Ultrakill Merg!
@Yato let 'em figure it out on his own :|
@Dolphin my bad
Here is a guide for the other secret levels (probobly said like 69 times already) In the lust layer,2-3 has 3 things you need to find and destroy.Once you have done that,a message will appear. Head back to the room with the waterfall and go through it.This secret level has a chance of hurting you mentally. In 3-1 in the gluttony layer,In the room with alot of stairs and climbing,has a cut off path that hides a door that you will need to prove yourself to it before it will let you through.Go back to all the previous levels and try to get a "P" rank.(Like pizza tower,you need to complete it perfectly). But there is a reason this door is sealed,As beyond it,Is someone and something are ready for you. (yes i had fun typing this comment)
You don't need to complete it perfectly lol, you can play super sloppy and still get a P rank on the main levels. This game is really forgiving until it isn't.
He asked for hints not a guide
3-S has a chance of hurting you physically
@the air accumulator while that is true but for most new(ish) players it can still be quite difficult especially when your still not used to all your weapons.But yes you are right.
@Mat thew getting 2nd hand damage from p-1 is common
"After ending the Lust Renaissance". Merg: "Why you gotta ruin the fun?" Lust? Fun? We need to talk Merg.
Funny how an Ultrakill secret manages to be more harrowing and terrifying than most recent horror games... Yes, I'm talking about the puzzles.
You had me in the first half-
@Merg Well, mission accomplished
Damn, Merg talking about SCPs is a surprise, but a welcome one :)
Some tips for gameplay in the future: - The railcannon does more damage after the opponent is shot by the nailgun - The red revolver does more damage when it bounces off the ground into an opponent - You can quickly kill a malicous face by shooting at it with the green shotgun pumped twice and then quickly switching to the blue shotgun
"- The railcannon does more damage after the opponent is shot by the nailgun" 110 hours in and i didn't know this
@BOb iirc there’s even a style bonus for doing that, +CONDUCTOR
@Benjamin Torres ah, I was always wondering what that was, thanks!
Something cool is that every secret level is a parody of other games (Something Wicked is a horror game parody, and as you may have guessed the puzzle games are a parody of... puzzle games)
Don't tell the 3-s and 4-s
@Whiterun Guard There's no 3-S.
@DISTRUST 2 I can't say the name but you get what level i mean i don't wanna give spoilers
1-S is a parody of puzzle games but more directly of "the witness", a very tough puzzle game this is made even more apparent with 1-S's level name, "the witless"
These are specific parodies tho, Something wicked either parodies Slender (the most notorious videogame monster) or Amnesia (navigate pitch dark enviroments). While Merg has already identified the second secret as a The Witness parody.
I love the goofy lil laugh Merg does at the start of The Witless when he realises what he’s gotten himself into
Hey, I'll just leave some more tips here :) Idk if you've realised it yet, but the red gun (sharpshooter)'s right click(s) can hit ennemies ranged attacks, which can explode them in the air, so you can use this to counter attack or just defend yourself . Green shotgun's overcharge can be used effectively even if it can damage you, if you use overcharge while dashing at the exact same time, you'll take no damage while dealing big damage in a huge radius Chaining coins increases the famage the more coins there is in the chain, and you can deflect some other weapons (such as blue railgun) of the coins, so you can deal crazy damage :) I can already tell you've improved alot (which will be needed if you ever play the harder difficulties), but there are some crazy movement tech you do not already know about, and these movement techs may be useful to find some secrets / finish levels faster Anyways, that's enough tips for today, see ya !
Great video. These secrets are cool. There is a secret in gluttony though, but don't worry... you will find it when it is time... Something wicked, this way comes.
The Marksman's coin trajectory differs on which direction your moving (including backwards), and you can punch the coin many times.
I love the little voice change when Merg figured out shooting Something Wicked stuns it *You can shoot it.* *_It's dead._*
Me on 0-S: Having constant anxiety and pure terror because I'm being chased by an absolute hellspawn in a labyrinth. Merg on 0-S: Haha funny stickman.
the PTSD after something wicked is priceless something wicked doesn't leave the mouth of hell so you should be fine
There is actually an whole mini-secret gathering you can do at 1-1, 1-2 and 1-3 where you collect numbered slabs in order to unlock something in 1-4 👀
It's so fun watching you improve. Love the work man. Keep it up
Its cool seeing you improve at the game as you progress
you know its always going to be a good day when merg uploads ❤
I love how 1-S The Witless is a reference to the game "The witness" which has mechanics extremely similar to those seen in this level
If you want a hint for the slabs in 1-1 and 1-2, you'll find them near the end of both levels, near the final room (and make sure to check for walls you can break with explosions) also a tip for shotgun boosting; parrying your shotgun shot only turns one of the pellets into a fast explosive projectile (that can hurt you), so if you're using the pump shotgun you should stick to either loading multiple times for close range, or a shotgun boost from a distance depending on your situation, you dont need to load multiple times then boost in the same shot.
Gabriel, the judge of hell, gave Merg way less trouble than a slightly angry swordsmachine. BTW before anything you should get all secret buttons in Limbo, you get a new toy that i won't talk about. And there is a secret boss level once you Prank all the act 1 missions, i don't know much about them but it doesn't matter if you get hurt as long as you don't die, also check the titles that pop on your rank board when you kill an enemiy, each one corresponds to what you do when killing them and you get more points the more of these you get with each kill.
Prank lol
always love a merg secrets hunting video nice job! also i absolutely love how different the first secret mission was from the next one lmao
‘The witless’ , I get that reference, that experience was both breathtakingly amazing and rage inducing, I was stuck on that last giant puzzle at the bottom floor for years, I was too stubborn to look up a guide.
this is a great game, glad you're playing it to 100%!
I think really the only comparable similarity between these games (cus let's be honest, yeah they both have P ranks but a lot of games that have a rank above S have that including many rhythm games, and while generally speed based the stuff you need to do to get them is largely different) is how cool their secret are, and how the challenges/chef tasks encourage you to find them. Even just going for better ranks, if different, in both games they get you to explore the whole level and really learn awesomely designed they are. 5:06 Yooooo seeing the Swordsmachine tearing it up through enemies too is such a cool secret.
just want to say THANK YOU for actually putting in the effort to look for secrets and challenges, as many other youtubers usually play through once and call it a day. glad you're enjoying the game!
When Merg started Ultrakill, I told myself that this is how I'll figure how is the actual full experience of the game. Discovering 0-S just told me that was the best idea... But watching Merg do 1-S make me want to see Merg play the Witness, just out of curiosity...
the levels with secrets tend to have the challenges hint at where to find them like the fountain, just a hint for later
Watching merg solve puzzles is one of the most painful experiences of my life.
lol
I thought he did pretty well on this one x)
I was in pain bc he couldn’t solve so easy things :(
Great video as always my guy. ❤
Thank you!
wow grub
Tip: You can double-tap to keep the score counter on screen while you play. Edit: you might wanna go for perfect rankings. There are secrets to get if you do Also: the bonus orbs are the requirements for weapon skins. Your choice if you want them or not
At 14:26 the intended way to do that jump was to do a bounce jump by slaming and jumping repeatedly which makes you reach higher. For some reason the game never tells you that this is a thing lol.
pretty sure it does in a tip of the day
it does in 2-2
@Nine Lines Yeah in 2-2
The game gives away like a good 95% of all tech and movement abilities through its tips, and its terminal entries,given you actually read them. The only thing off the top of my head that i dont think the game mentions or hints at is slam storage
@Pat4962🏳️🌈⃠ • 13 yr agoprobably because it's a bit precise and not very useful for challenges or secrets (bar florp)
Is 'The Witless' supposed to be a reference to The Witness? Because I'm getting mad witness vibes from that whole segment lmao. The Witness is also a pretty cool puzzle game, so it'd be cool to see Merg trying it out!
I really don't know if merg would be willing to do a full playthrough of the witness lol. I've heard that some of the later levels of the game get downright ridiculous with how hard they are, and there are also a lot of game mechanics that are just completely unexplained.
Loving the gameplay keep it up :)
loving the ultrakill series (pretty sure you’ll get to p ranks soon)
"Something wicked this way comes," reminds me a lot of Scarlet Pearl(Pearlescentmoon) from Double Life, which is nice.
You know it's going to be a fire afternoon when you get the notification of an ultrakill merg's video
No way blud missed 2-S 💀
Nah man he did Thy punishment is to play p-1 before act 2
He's going to do it in separate video.
are you british or something
@Godlyvex5 na hes turkish
@Godlyvex5 calling someone british is an criminal offense. 40 years in the flesh prison.
In case you're wondering, every layer has a secret level, with the last layer having a "very" special secret level, for wich you'll need to P-rank al levels on the act beforehand.
@DamageMaximo They were not intending to spoil it, they were giving a tip for Merg. That's all.
Things you should really know: Charged sharpshooter shots can hit enemy projectiles to create a big explosion You can parry *any projectile/melee attack* as long as there isn't a blue flash beforehand (or if it's hitscan) You can hit coins with other weapons (like the sharpshooter or railgun).
Amazing video ❤ cant wait to see you find about layer 2 and 3 secret mission
you dont know how long i've been waiting for you to see 0-S lmao, sick content as always
Merg I hope you read this, you asked for a tip as to where the secrets could be, I'm gonna give you a tip for you to check on the Gluttony layer: Stairs, pay close attention and be careful to not lose track of the way forward.
Tips for your gameplay so I wont have to cry every time i watch you play (I know this is kinda a long list but bear with me because you will need to get good at a lot of this for act 2): Movement: When you want to get somewhere fast, slide because it is your fastest method of moving around (for now). Think of your slide as your sprint key. If you need to kill and an enemy that is kinda far from you, slide toward them to close he distance and be able to dodge their shots at the same time. Plus it gives you more style points as well so its good to get in the habit of sliding more often. Also make use of your dash more often to dodge attacks. This is a common problem with beginners and it is vital you dash more often because dashing gives you invincibilty allowing you to dodge any attack and also pull of a powerful move using the overpump shotgun. Enemies: those blue and white enemies are called soldiers and they have damage resistance. However, they become vulnerable when launched in the air. Feedbacker (blue arm): Your parrying is very good but keep in mind any attack with a yellow flash can be parried at a specific time. Also keep in mind that the range of your blue arm is longer than you think so your parry range is much longer than you think it might be. Knuckleblaster (red arm): Please use this arm more pleaseeeeee. This arm is really good for damage when you dont have a gun out or if want to just add more damage. For example, using this with the pump shotgun will deal massive damage and could even lead to a malicious face (aka maurice) instakill. Ill explain that in a bit tho. You can also parry with this arms shockwave as well which makes it pretty good for certain enemies such as mindflayers or maurice Sharpshooter: the sharpshooters chargeup can destroy enemy projectiles causing them to explode which is why you randomly get explosions sometimes when you use it sometimes. Use this to your advantage to get a lot of damage and style points. This can be good against mindflayers, maurice, and basically any enemy that shoots you Marksman: this is literally the best variant in the game because of how it can combo wih most of your arsenal. You can use the piercer revolver and your railgun on it and using a coin with one of these weapons also increases the damage the shot does depending on how many coins you chain together. The problem with your use of it is that you arent tracking the coin. You toss a coin then realize it is nearing the ground so you try to flick your mouse to it. This is a common beginner mistake, try to follow the coins trajectory and build up muscle memory or shooting coins. Because coin trajectory depends on which direction you are moving and how your are moving (dashing, sliding, jumping, etc). However, the muscle memory required to hit a coin is generally universal so getting down the muscle memory is important. You can also punch a coin with the blue arm and it will go to the nearest enemy and bounce up into the air after hitting an enemy thus making it possible to shoot it again after being punched. A coin can be punched infinitely which builds up damage on the coin infinitely as well which is an entire other advanced technique you dont have to worry about. Do also keep in mind that coins can be tossed through enemies so use this to your advantage with piercing weapons such as the electric railgun Shotgun: there is this super easy tech called shotgun swapping which is exactly what it sounds like. The pullout time for the shotgun is actually very short so you can fire one shotgun variant then switch to the other one to skip the priming animation and you can keep doing it forever. With projectile boosting as well, keep in mind it causes an explosion so its not the best option at point blank range. Also consider using core eject more, it is pretty versatile. Nailgun: not much you really need to change besides the fact that you are wasting your heatsinks with your overheat nailgun. Try to use as much of the orange bar by holding down right click for the whole duration to get as much damage as you can out. Also when you shoot with the attractor nailgun it instantly charges up the overheat nailgun so you can shoot once with the attractor then quickly switch to your overheat to be able to use a fully charged heatsink Railgun: the drill is very situational as you may of hear so try to use the electric railgun more because it combos with your coin super well and does a lot of damage. You can even instakill cerberus using 2 coins and a railgun shot but thats a thing that we will tell you about another day. Yea thats about it, sorry for the long list if youre even reading this lol. Love your content and cant wait for your next ultrakill vid! ❤❤
let him be he is taking it slow so he can actually enjoy the game and not speedrun through it
16:30 Bro, this turned from an epic FPS to a straight up horror game...
I can already hear merg’s adrenaline in his voice and Its alot higher than usual y’know he Is enjoying that.
i have to be honest. i love how this community dont spoil merg about the games he play and their very polite about it (for what ive saw so far) and much more. Im glad i can be part of this. and remember for this journey *BLOOD IS FUEL*
Yeah merg's community is somehow really good when it comes to spoilers. Especially during his omori playthrough. Omori is the type of game where one tiny spoiler can completely ruin the whole experience, so I was astonished by the fact that they were able to give him tips and guide him through the game without spoiling anything. Truly a blessed community (gabriel would be proud)
@Qwerty David im aware omori its alot driven by emotional story of the main protagonist going throught depression, and in the end doing yk. Not saying it cuz someone do see this might not know the end of that game. but its Definitely an master piece that i have to give a try if, I wasnt that broke im even avoiding to see alot about the game to atleast make my money worth it. Plus this experience if i enjoy it will help me bond better with sum that ik that rlly likes omori so its an win win :)
@rafael gamels If you haven't played the game I honestly just recommend watching merg's playthrough. Also, while you watch it or play it, don't look up anything related to the game. As I said, one tiny spoiler can make the whole experience fall apart.
@Qwerty David i understand but the best thing its actually playing it since thats the fun of it in rpg's thx for the advice
Just in time to eat while watching Merg play one of my favorite games ever, today was a good day.
Glad to see youre enjoying the game merg!
His reaction for 2-S boutta be crazy...
Another great video by merg! Honestly the best CS-tvr
Merg keep up the good content bro!! don't get burned out tho!! you are quite good at this!!! woo!
I cant wait for you to do the secret level in the Gluttony layer, it requires you to P rank all the levels in Act 1 and the Prelude, although you will have to prepare thyself!
A big piece of advice: you can parry alot of enemies' meele attacks, its not limited to projectiles.
The instinct of clicking on a merg Ultrakill video.
0-S is pure defenition of horror and helplessness you can't prove me otherwise
3-1 does have a secret but will require you to P-rank every level in act one before unlocking but I really recommend it if you like the game. Also highly recommend going through 1-1 to 1-3 and finding the secret roman numerals hidden in the levels. Unlocks the big door in 1-4 and a cool thing for one of your guns
Each secret level is based on a different game genre. 0-S is a horror game, 1-S is a puzzle game. Find the theme of each layer, and you can guess what the secret level could be about.
What does desert have to do with crash bandicoot?
Then is lust a nsfw game lol
@The VoidCrash Bandicoot has had its few share of desert levels, so i guess there's that
@Goat Guy you'll see
@Goat Guy you'll see
The wicked gave me fear of horrors. The witless gave me fear of puzzles.
All imperfect love song taught me to live
Back to the start again You are the best Merg❤
Hey, sorry if im late to the video but I noticed u questioned if u got the first secret or not which u can check if u hold tab. Tab opens a menu to show what ur ranks are for categorys and pressing it twice or so keeps the menu up (Its really helpful for p-ranks and doing challenges)
This game really has some ULTRASECRETS, cool video by the way
Thank you!!
Hey merg Whenever you felt ready for p ranks the following moves can really help More shotgun punches Shooting coins, especially chaining them. Shooting coins with the railcanon (this one is OP for the main game as well) Setting up magnet nailgun traps really helps with crowd management as well. P.S: funny skeleton man in thumbnail
the lust layer secret is in 2-3 and involves doing stuff required for the challenge
"This is not hell anymore this is like the underworld now." -Merg 2023
That last secret is based on the game The Witness, I played all the way to the end including special challenge. It's very relaxing game, except that endgame challenge, that was actually painful. You could make a playthrough of it.
it seems you are getting better at shooting coins. i am interested in seeing you progress on the path of the marksman anyway here are some tips overpump the green shotgun and dash shoot (the i-frames of the dash will negate the explosion damage) quick switch between the green and blue shotguns for large damage (if its easier for you you can hold click for the auto shoot and quick switch) learning how to parry melee attacks WILL be useful later, try fighting the swordsmachine and melee it while its doing an attack, if it does the parry effect you did it right for when you reach the gluttony secret remember, the p ranks are not a reward. *they are a warning* do the 2-4 challenge, i swear you wont regret it
about the people telling you about the gluttony secret level, i suggest doing the P ranks after having completed the game
Hey Merg, thanks for another great video! The secret for lust is in 2-3, you have to find a way to remove the water somehow. There is a secret for gluttony in 3-1, but it's probably better to save it for after beating act 2. I personally would recommend also getting the 4 panels secret in 1-4, all you have to do is find the remaining panels in 1-1 and 1-2. Have fun with the rest of the act 1 secrets and act 2! P.S. also I think it would be cool to see you play The Witness if you'd be interested, it's a fun game if you enjoy puzzles Hints for panels: 1-1: look in the last room of the level for something breakable 1-2: look in the room with the lava also for something breakable
Edit: i made this comment before knowing Merg could just look it up on the enemies list Fun fact: Something wicked (that is his actual name) cannot be killed. Shooting him makes it teleport to one of its 4 spawn locations and you cant spawn him using an thing i cant say because it has pathing points around the 0-S SOMETHING WICKED stage, making Something wicked be able to guide itself in the stage
There is a p rank door on 3-1 where you have to p rank every level in prelude and act 1 but i wont say what is behind it
Is Peppino behind the door? 😮
heres a tip since Merg asked for it yes, there is a secret in gluttony however its a lot different from others, you will see it can be found on the stair stage
each of ultrakills secret missions covers a different genre (exept shooter obv) 0-S is horror 1-S are puzzles and so on... Each Act also has a Prime sanctum which is kind of like the secret final boss of each act.
Just one thing I'd like to recommend, Merg, is that you should save the nailguns for big groups of enemies, rather than singular strays. Prioritizing enemies is essential when big groups come at you. (P.S. the screwdriver is the weakest of the railcannons)
I’ve been checking his channel every day for a new ultrakill video and todays the day it’s here!
ah yes my favorite post apocalyptic game where machines are fueled by blood and also the dude that started the lust renaissance my favorite part of the plot
small hint: all the testaments belong to 1 character, which you will probably realize who it is as you unlock more testaments
With the shotgun, Shoot-E-Shoot. You can keep doing this and it turn your shotgun into a machine gun. Also turn on "Remember variation" in the setting if you want to force yourself to use other variations
Hey Merg i have a question. Are you gonna do 100%? I mean also the secret Prime sanctums? Getting in every level a P rank? For the Ultra P doors? Or not?
a small tip: taking explosion damage disables healing for like a second
This game turned into a horror games real quick 💀
Knuckle blaster normal punch is the same as a coreshot in terms of dmg to breakable things
idk why but seeing someone as innocent as merg playing a game like ultrakill is weirdly funny to me
hearing the drill be called op was a whole new kind of whiplash
Nice work finding secrets without online help! Good luck doing more of them in the future. And good luck on act 2! By the way, really trust me that you do not want to touch on "Gluttonys Secret" until youre done with the game. And regarding Limbo, I can say 1-1 and 2 require some.. "Outside the box" thinking ;)
after you finish ultrakill, give rain world a shot. its really good
Also P ranks in this game require you to have an S in all 3 criteria. That means you need an S in time, kills (you need to kill all enemies in the level) and style. Also you're not allowed to die once.
I cannot WAIT for him to see Lust’s secret level
Also, all the secret levels are gonna be different genres. The first one was a horror game and the second was a puzzle game. Be prepared Merg, it gets WACKY later on
ULTRAKILL™ tests not only your reflexes but also IQ.
THE WITLESS XD Man i love the witness and seeing it referenced makes me so happy
