@@Breakaway-ic5gj Sorry for the late reply, but very well! One thing that is important to understand first and foremost is that all emotions, positive or negative, are signals for your needs being met or unmet. Also, keep in mind that they are not perfect signals. They can be very wrong sometimes, but not always! All the emotions we would call positive are signals of needs being met. If our basic needs are met for the day, we may feel content. If things are going great and your needs are tended to, we tend to feel happy. When our social comfort needs are met and/or exceeded, we feel cared for and/or loved. But those are obvious, as I'm pretty sure we all enjoy feeling those emotions. Now, the "negative" ones. I put "negative" in quotes here because while they are uncomfortable to feel, it is important to understand how they are useful! These emotions are for bringing our attention to our unment needs, and can actually help depending on the situation. Sadness warns you of your past mistakes, and with regret, we can reflect on just what we did wrong so that we can do better next time. Anger exists as a drive to get us to do something immediately, however drastic, dangerous, or downright violent it may be. Fear (my personal favorite) exists to warn you of future problems that may be coming your way, like an assignment you have to get done or a potential injury when doing something dangerous. I like to think of these emotions as teachers, coaches, and protectors respectively. These emotions can be very helpful, but again, they are imperfect. A lot of these things can be false alarms, and mental illness usually happens when a particular emotion gets out of whack and overreacts. Understanding this is actually a crucial first step used in many types of therapies! When the movie Inside Out came out, therapists compared a young child's emotions with the on-screen variant and used it as an example of how an emotion just tends to act. [Personal story this paragraph, skip if you dont care lol] I used to struggle with anxiety a lot, and it felt like my life was lost. I had no direction, and any method I tried to get rid of it failed. Then I came across a video about a game on this subject, and decided to play it for myself before continuing (Adventures with Anxiety, if you are curious). After that, I decided to forgive my anxiety and let it be a friend that's always helping me out, and OH BOY, I have never seen a more unexpected redemption arc in my life! TL;DR: In conclusion, emotions generally are not at all bad. The only bad thing about the "negative" ones is that they *feel* bad, but they are actually super useful. By listening to them rather than treating them with hostility, I'd bet you would find that you could accomplish a lot more than you might expect. This "essay" is rushed and flawed, so send me another reply if you have any questions. And remember, treat your emotions like friends, not enemies!

So basically, the ingame Tenebre Rossa Sangue is split into two posts, Calm and In Battle. That's why you'd have parts majorly dominated by piano keys, but then it would cut to a mix of electric guitar and organ notes. Compared to the previous Prime soul, Minos, you are forced to face quiet possibly the hardest gauntlet of enemies currently in the game before actually facing Sisyphus, with everytime you move into the next room would the calm music play, only for it to immediately switch to the battle theme.

Something I love about ULTRAKILL is how the speaking characters refer to V1 (The machine the player controls). Gabriel usually goes for 'machine' to be plain and to the point, but in threatening it he refers to it as 'inanimate' and 'a mere object' showing how he looks down on V1, this reflects how much of Heaven sees machines, as abominations, as affronts to God's creations, humans trying to play god. Minos, however calls it a 'creature of steel', seeing V1 as just another living being made to walk Earth and now Hell. And he even thanks it for freeing him, treating V1 as an opponent to respect but not hold back against. He says that 'but the crimes thy kind have made against humanity are not forgotten', showing that he doesn't have a personal grudge with V1 but does see machines as a threat and for good reason. Sisyphus calls it a 'child of man' and 'weapon', respecting the creation of machines as relation almost, and recognizing the power of V1 being a killing machine. Rather than hold a grudge, Sisyphus' fight is him fighting out of curiosity and his easygoing 'go with the flow' nature. It shows how happy Sisyphus is to live and to hold his own, to stand his ground and be proud.

Both Chaos and Pandemonium are painfully mid.

Just in case you didn't understand, the reason why "pandemonium" was so short is because it plays while you fight the boss called "flesh panopticon" which was a prison created by the heavens to contain sysiphus prime. Shortly after the fight begins, sysiphus simply busts out (hence the sounds of gore before his speech and also why he says "this prison... To hold... ME!?!?")

In the Ultrakill lore, Sisyphus waged war against the armies of heaven, creating a legion of Insurgents to join his cause. Once the council was established, he was captured and essentially kept in a high security prison. So yes, Tenebre Rosse Sangue is technically the theme of a prison break. Pandemonium is basically a fake fight, like 30 seconds in Sisyphus breaks out due to the weakening of the seals that kept him inside (that we break). Similar to Minos, Sisyphus’ theme contains a Leitmotif (2 i believe but one isn’t essentially linked to his character) which links back to an earlier stage in the game, where you actually fight an essentially mummified and controlled insurgent of his. Real interesting stuff. Once again, love the content!

@daffoplays6616

So two things. The insurrectionists still aren't technically controlled or mummified, they are just his fellow husks that were cleaved across the shoulders as punishment for their rebellion against heaven.

Some background lore Sisyphus punishment in hell WAS the boulder, along with having molten gold scorch out his eyes. He bided his time in the layer of Greed, waiting for any moment to be free of the demons and angels who tortured him and his fellow man. When the time finally came, Sisyphus swiftly assembled a grand army of those who would help him rebel against heaven. However, the battle ended quickly when Sisyphus was beheaded by Gabriel, the Righteous Hand of the Father. Due to the immense power of Sisyphus’ soul, he needed to be imprisoned so that he could not reform into a Prime Soul, a being of pure willpower, capable of razing heaven to the ground. Sisyphus was imprisoned within the Flesh Panopticon, which was far more heavily guarded than Minos’ Flesh Prison. When you fight the Flesh Panopticon, Sisyphus *punches his way out of it* and kills it himself. Then he monologues, and your fight begins. Sisyphus is a man purely fueled by his spite and his willpower, the indomitable human spirit. He gives you the hardest single enemy fight of the game, and dies regretting nothing.

Tenebre Rosso Sengue is the theme of the city of Dis, the giant wall that separates the upper and lower layers of hell. It actually isn’t made by Hakita, but by a guest artist, Keygen Church. Pandemonium is the theme of the Flesh Panopticon, the prison designed for Sisyphus. Unlike the simple Flesh Prison, it was designed to house his entire army. The reason its cut short is because he literally punches his way out midway through the fight. And Sisyphus’ theme, “War”, is a lot better once you understand his story. When God left and Heaven was in chaos, Sisyphus started building an army in the Greed layer (which is why you hear the Sands of Tide motif). When he invaded heaven, Gabriel told the army of heaven to focus all of their fire onto Sisyphus. When he was beheaded, his army crumbled, since their only motivation was the imposing presence of Sisyphus, which is why the other cells in the Panopticon are empty. Unlike Minos, who was a noble and generous king, Sisyphus wasn’t against lying, stealing or cheating others to get his way. He isn’t fighting you because he hates you or his kind; he is fighting you purely for shits and giggles. I absolutely adore Hakita’s rendition of Sisyphus. Not as a sad man, cursed for eternity to do a futile task. But a proud one, who, through his futile task, rebels against the heavens. His rebellion might not have succeeded, but to him, the simple fact that he DIDN’T just waste away, that he even tried to rebel, was in itself the ultimate act of defiance

Sisyphus was the king of the greed layer, but unlike Minos, the king of the lust layer, who was a kind ruler to all his people, Sisyphus was mounting an insurrection against Heaven. He wasn't going down without a fight, and once Heaven caught wind of it, they sent Gabriel to behead him (hence why his head is just a ball of light, which could also be interpreted as him being a beacon of hope for his people), and sealed away his soul in the Flesh Panopticon. I love how this reflects in both their fights, because while Minos sees you as an obstacle and tries to deliver judgment, and apologizes to his people once he is killed that he could not protect them, and also screams while dying, Sisyphus sees you as a warm up, an appetizer, before he destroys the realm of Heaven, filled with unbridled rage, and is completely unphased when you kill him. He's not angry at you or himself, he simply says his life of futile struggle has come to an end, and he has no regrets, and while beams of light sprout out of him while he's dying, he laughs. He had fun. Sisyphus in Ultrakill is kind of the opposite from the mythological figure, since in the Greek mythos, Sisyphus is frustrated and exasperated at his futile struggle to push the boulder up the mountain, but in Ultrakill, the knowledge that his acts are ultimately meaningless drives Sisyphus. He relishes in the fact that his insurrection is pointless. He knows this, and it won't stop him from trying to destroy Heaven, if anything, it only makes him more determined to do it.

One of my favorite parts of the Sisyphys Prime boss battle is his overall demeanor, specifically his entrance, and then during the fight "This prison, to hold... ME?" Sisyphus is a cocky man. He is a king and waged war against heaven, but only now, he is stronger. "Nice Try!" Is one if his voicelines, and he says it when doing a 'Come at me!' motion, once again showing off his cockyness. "Keep 'em coming!" He will say this once you've died, respawned and enter the arena again. This suggests that he is FINE with killing you over and over and over again, even if it means that he will die eventually due to your infinite lives. He knows there is a player, and he's enjoying it. "Yes! That's it!" Sisyphys will say this once he reaches half HP, which makes him feel like all he wants is a good fight. He doesn't really care anymore at this point. He just wants to fight you.

The Primes (or possibly just Sisyphus, as Minos' "USELESS!" doesn't quote confirm he is acknowledging respawns) are maybe the only enemies to canonically acknowledge them. Gabriel's "IS THIS WHAT I LOST TO?!" could easily be explained as a normal line playing coincidentally, considering the mood of the fight, and I don't know if Druid Knight's "wait why are we in the past" is canonical.

Marco's face when the beat drops is just amazing Edit: Forgot to add something more to my comment. P-2 is the most hardest level in the game so far and sisyphus in Ultrakill is seen as stronger than Minos so Gabriel (funy organ guy) Beheaded sisyphus because he wanted to have an all out WAR on heaven. When the player starts the level, the level tries to scare us with the blood rain. After the level actually starts (Tenebre rosso sangue) That's where a boss gauntlet occurs, the game will force the player to fight thru the game's minibosses. P-2 was made as a security measure so nobody tries to free sisyphus from escaping. After fighting the gauntlet, V1 (player) opens the vault in which sisyphus is being imprisioned. I think you get the rest.

The dichotomy to Minos and Sisyphus is fantastic. ORDER is imprisoned in CHAOS. Minos emerges, vowing revenge on Heaven, specifically Gabriel, for not allowing the souls in the Lust Layer to live peacefully, for tearing down his new kingdom. His theme is tragic, and emotional, with bits and pieces from "Requiem", the theme song from a level of Lust as well as "Guts" and "Glory" from Gluttony. Once he dies, he apologizes to his subjects. WAR is enchained in PANDEMONIUM. Sisyphus is freed, and again, wants revenge on the ENTIRETY of Heaven for stifling his rebellion and mutilating his followers. But not before testing your mettle. His theme is aggression, unbridled, with bits and pieces from "Dune Eternal", "Sands of Tide" *and* "Dancer in the Darkness", the entirety of the Greed layer. Once he dies, he laughs. I wish you could fight both at once.

There's more to come, who knows. You may indeed get that wish. In fact I'll be somewhat surprised if it doesn't happen, possibly with the boss of the next act.

"There's almost like a bored aspect to it" Yeah, basically spot on. Sisyphus was stuck in the Flesh Panopticon for who knows how long and during all of that time he could've broken out himself, he didn't simply because he really didn't have a reason to. Then, when V1 comes along, he realizes that this is the thing that killed Minos's soul and triumphed through most of Hell, he finally has an opponent with enough strength to potentially match his own, he finally has something to lose and he can finally feel the thrill of battle again, during the fight he even eggs V1 on, saying "Yes, that's it!" when his health is halfway depleted.

It's just this magical music that I've never heard anywhere else, they mix that pretty classical stuff with the raw electronic energy that's so damn glorious.

Same bro. I still hang around the mbr chat from time to time.

The way he was stunned when the first combat loop came in 💀

I was really hoping you will listen to whole P-2 ost and glad that happened! I don't know will you read this or this was written by someone else, but Tenable Rosso Sangue is ost for city Dis for Heresy layer where Sisyphis prison located. So piano playes when you passing it and active part start playing when fights occur. And fighting parts of this level before Sisyphis maybe even harder than Sisyphis himself, so I glad that Keygen Church did go hard on this track) Pandemonium must be a little longer, but still, there's a lot of trushing sounds becouse Sisyphis breaking his prison by himself, I didn't hear this in video, but while all this disturbing sound happening, he says "This prison... To hold... Me?!!" Also, if you interested in lore of characters like Minos/Sisyphis/Gabriel or some other, in ultrakill wiki there for all characters/enemies must be "Terminal" section Terminal gives gameplay advise and after beating enemy, adds lore, so on wiki there will be some lore on characters. Sorry for bad English and thank you for you video!

I love the voice actor for Sisyphus. He also does the narration for Disco Elysium. Such an amazing voice.

So glad to see you give this a shot, I love how quickly you caught onto Sisyphus' character. In the game he's a man who fights, yes, but not for any reason other than the futile struggle to inconvenience the heavens. A man who knew... He was doomed the moment he raised his blade.

In Ultrakill, Sisyphus is a "prime soul", meaning the soul of a being who has so much willpower and who was so popular in life among other people that Heaven feared they might have the will to stand up to them. This has implications for both Minos and Sisyphus. Minos found his peace guiding other people out of misery and was desperate to protect/avenge his people, in other words, he held true to his values no matter what. The same goes for Sisyphus. He recognizes that his struggles may be futile, but he realizes that these struggles are all there is to life, so he might as well go full force. He enjoyed confrontation in general, challenging the powers that be, etc. Kinda like Yujiro Hanma from Baki, but less insane. He embodied "Greed". Greed for power, greed for the pleasures of life, pleasures which include battle experiences. It is greed, but his acceptance of it led to a sort of enlightenment. Unfortunately, this enlightenment turned on him, as his men became dependent on his intoxicating personality and when he fell, the others did not have enough individual willpower to keep fighting.

6:17 bro just predicts the whole level.

The part about Sisyphus' back not being against the wall and not being desperate is basically entirely accurate. He doesn't care if he dies or not. He knows he's already lost, and can't do anything. He knows his struggle is impossible; even now, if he kill you, he still won't get far enough to make a change. But he's not going down without a fight.

This was such a pleasure to see you react to P-2 and Sisyphus here. Tenebre Rosso Sangue is still my favorite of this set of tracks. There’s just something about it that makes me like it so much. Probably the organ.

This is one of those tracks where you can’t, in your right mind, just silently sit and listen. The sheer intensity and emotion of the song makes you want to jump and throw your arms around. The neat part is that you pretty much have to channel 100% of that energy into brutally slaughtering what is essentially an army of tough sons a’ bitches guarding one single imprisoned soul who are more than capable of destroying you if you stop for even a single moment. This song allows you to operate at the energy level required for P-2, Wait of the World.

A bit of a teaser: this track is made by a guy using the name "KEYGEN CHURCH" for this specific project, who also made several albums under the name "MASTER BOOT RECORD". His stuff is always a mix of nerdy, retro-tech vibe with some dark, oppressive, esoteric themes - and all of it is brilliant and a sure canditate for a "must listen" playlist!

Thiese tracks are as insane as ingame challange of even reaching the last fight. That level is one of the hardest challanges i've seen in video games.

There's also a longer variant of Tenebre Rosso Sangue which has UltraChruch (a bonus track) before the Tenebre movement itself

The weird beeping sound and rumbling sound is actually gates opening, so basically heaven is so fucking scared that they put some maximum security prison

13:40 I love the feeling of damnation here in the song. It's a rare feeling for songs to give off, but I love when they do. I feel it is a bit limited here since it is a battle theme, the only other songs that I know of that give this sense of damnation are The New Order from Wolfenstein and In The House - In A Heartbeat from 28 Days Later. I just love the feeling of it.

Quite ironic since Sands of Tide is one of my least favorite ULTRAKILL songs. But any sound when mixed right and in the right situation can sound good. Like Complete And Utter Destruction of The Senses sounds awful on it's own, but in game it's the perfect for when it plays.

I'd like to add, the 3/4 part is a motif of a song from the Greed layer. Fun part is how minos and sisyphus' themes both have a similar build up style, as well as the call back to their respective layers.

I love how at 3.15 you look like it's lost you then the awsome kicks in :)

I love V-1's motif and how it gets used in the boss fights shows the unstoppable nature of our blood fueled robo; he is unstoppable, and it's not just boss music that's why he is in it (it's the electrified pace of snare drums that sounds like its glitching)

Music in ULTRAKILL is just your enemies hearing their boss theme.

The coolest part is, the score is composed specifically so that there are calm and chaotic versions of every part of the melody. In game, the music transitions seamlessly from the calm to the chaos every time you enter combat, and then peters out to the calm again when it’s over. They don’t play in sequence like the soundtrack version, they’re layered ON TOP of each other.

Thanks for listening to this for me these are my favorite songs in the game and this is also my favorite version of Sisyphus.

bro i swear it looks like his brain just factory resetted when the music instantly transitioned from calm to combat

the keygen theme of P-2 is probably my fav ultrakill song ever. It's so epic and fits the mood

Always love to see some ultrakill content! And for what it's worth, the video you watched did a pretty poor job of splicing the songs together. I'm sure you get the picture but you should look them up individually (Tenebre Rosso Sangue has a wonderful opening that was skipped, for example, and Pandemonium has a big shift later in the song that was ignored.)

I absolutely love Tenebre as it's cut here, it's so damn aggressive and forceful. The transition from the softer, more toned down piano section to that hard as fuck distorted electric guitar (I'm pretty sure that's what that is) and heavy drum beat sounding like a splayed heartbeat is godly.

I love how in Tenebre Rosso Sangue he goes from wow this song is pretty chill" to "W H A T I S H A P P E N I N G" then back to "SONG GOOD YES"

Watching this man perfectly explain the lore of ULTRAKILL just by listening to the music of the game is awesome. Kudos both to the artists for crafting the music in such a way that that can be done and to you for being able to decipher it on first listen like that.

I don't know why, but you looking flabbergasted at 3:18 cracks me up every time because I know the music is about to go bonkers but it really comes out of nowhere for a first time listener.

tenebre rosso sangue is for the gauntlet BEFORE the flesh prison and Sisyphus at the end of the level, which is divided into the "calm" and the "Combat" part and the video switches in between tthe two

so glad you are covering this series, theres a lot of weird time signatures in some of the songs that make an interesting listen from a music theory perspective

Can't believe he made a vid about it, thank you! I love this track and I'm so glad you got to experience it

I'm literally so hyped to see you listen to this. Ultrakill is such an amazing game with both great gameplay and storytelling! And I'd like to add, that the stage this comes from is absolutely wild. Putting in the work to P rank the stage really has me appreciating it more. Love what you do, thanks for another great analaysis!

Glad to see you react to this! Sisyphus isn't really discussed as in-depth as Minos is in the game, being relegated to a hidden room in the last layer of Greed (outside of his Prime Sanctum). He rebelled against the armies of heaven, rallying quite the military force during the time after God had vanished, and before the Council had formed. When the angels returned, Sisyphus fought back in a war that, and I quote, "shook the very foundations of hell itself". However, the angels noticed that Sisyphus' entire army relied on him, so Gabriel went in and beheaded the man. The Flesh Panopticon was constructed to hold Sisyphus' prime soul, which had already partially formed at the time of his imprisonment. This allowed him to break out when the player shows up to try killing the Panopticon, which in turn woke Sisyphus' prime soul from his "eternal sleep" of sorts. Sisyphus' reason for fighting you is quite different from Minos' reasons. He notes that you have killed Minos (as that's a requirement for entering the second prime sanctum), and challenges you to a brawl before he wreaks havoc on heaven as an act of revenge. Ultimately, his struggle was in vain, as was his war against the angels. However, he fought valiantly, and with a smile on his face the whole time, since he enjoyed the thrill of fighting immensely. One would have had to imagine Sisyphus happy.
