Ultrakill Spoilers - Blog Posts

So, I shared a screenshot of Knuckleblaster's response in a few in the servers, and this is just too funny for me not to share.

can we please god not call them male mindflayers im gonna rip you all to shreds

That is a great point.

Maybe I'll see if I can make a feedback post on the Legacy ULTRAKILL Discord server about this and see if "male" and "female" can be changed to "masculine" and "feminine" in a hotfix update. That could get fewer people to use the genders as adjectives.

Then again, it might be too minor an improvement to suggest since it is likely not worth the time and effort at this point.

In their defense, the Mindflayer's Terminal entry refers to their forms as "female" and "male," so they are just using the latter as a prefix since that is how they're described.

Also, immediately wanting to rip people to pieces for this sort of thing is not exactly a good mindset to go by.

In the newest update for ULTRAKILL, there is now a 1/51% chance for a masculine Mindflayer variant to spawn, which matches up with the lore from its data entry.

Also, here is a bonus fact from Hakita himself about the Mindflayer's design:

Everyone is discussing the new death screen in the new ULTRAKILL update, but why is no one talking about the disturbing screams we hear from the flaming tombs the heretics are sealed in from the revamped 6-1: Cry from the Weeper level?

Like, Jesus fucking Christ, that's terrifying.

Here's neat detail: The Gutterman that appears during the ambush in the ruined exit section does not have its coffin, which means it is the very same Gutterman that coffin we found in the ceiling alcove in the tram station initially belonged to.

I have so many thoughts after the 7-2 poem...

They’re fucking sentient. This one specifically writes prose about the love it has for its battery, and the hatred it has for itself. This went from being strapped into a death machine to being strapped inside a death machine that can think and hates itself and its purpose as much as you hate it.

And what the fuck does this mean about the other machines? Do sentries cherish the ability to see the world for what it is while everyone else sees it as pixels? Do guttertanks hate guttermen or do they feel pity for the beings they were made to destroy? Do earthmovers care for the cities living atop them? What the fuck does this mean for V1?!?!?! I always thought it was purely nonsentient, since I remember reading that somewhere. But...

We see other machines showing some form of emotions like V2’s sportsmanship and spite as well as the Mindflayers' protectiveness of their bodies that they themselves made at the cost of materials, and the Swordsmachines finding themselves beautiful and hoarding old scrap, seemingly for the sentimentality of it. But this is like the first confirmation of sentience other then the terminals. Do these machines feel pity for the sinners? Do they sympathize with the demons, created to fill out a single purpose and unable to deviate from it? Is V1 sentient or an exception? What does it think of Hell’s monologues? Does it enjoy being Hell’s favorite gladiator or does it hate that role? I’m going crazy over this! Were there machines that willingly died because they couldn’t stomach the idea of fighting their brethren for blood? Are the people in the Guttermen dead because the life support failed over time... Or was it because the Guttermen disconnected it themselves as a form of mercy?
