It has been by far too long but let's hop back into it.

1-2 is a very tight timing level for weaponless% if you want to get great times and for normal times not a level that is a huge bother.

The first trick is to perform a very special dive at the start of the level. When you fall from the pipe walk forward untill you just about decent the first little step where you land from. Then do a dash jump forwards. This should result in you exiting the door at such a speed and position so that if you time it correctly, you can get a slam store off the edge of the door as it opens. This timing takes some practice but with the set up shouldn't be too horrid.

Following this, once you have the slam store keep holding forward untill you land on the small flowerbed. Once you land perform a dive and you should be angled just right to move forward and up through the center structure without stopping untill you reach the top exit.

Backup strats for those who struggle with this are to exit the start as normal and use a column nearby to slam store Instead.

Once you reach the filth room, spawn the enemies and move to the center, jumping up to bunch the filth and using a kb to kill. Then when the drones spawn you can attempt to punch one drone into another or punch the drones into the schisms that group up. Any remaining schisms can be killed by whipping them up and splitting them to the ground. However one trick you could attempt is using a kb explosion to backfire their shots as they spray them at you.

Once that area is done, dash slide jump into the next room and whip to grab the blue skull. Once grabbed, checkpoint reset and dsj to place blue skull in the first area and grab red. Then once red grabbed, checkpoint and dash back and slam to place red and continue to the last area.

Run to the end of the room to trigger the spawn of 2 streetcleaners. Punch one with kb then jump. The other will walk to stop beneath you so slam and punch them before jumping again to then slam the first one and kill. 2 more will spawn and can be taken out the same way but be wary of the drones and try kb them into eachother if possible. Then to finish move I to the upper half of the room to spawn the strays and use a slam store to use the blender tech with the whip and take out them all. Land and then dsj into the exit :)

1-1 is a fairly straightforward weaponless% level that doesn't vary a whole lot.

You want to start off the level with a fairly tight series of dives. Beining with a slam store in the start room, dive forwards and be prepared to dive again as soon as you leave the doors. Aim at the door on the right and do a dive or slide jump at the top of the steps to travel in range of the skull. Whiplash the skull mid air to land and dive back towards the fountain area. (You can replace dives with slide jumps if you want)

Place red skull and go to first arena. Here the main plan is to use whip and kb to knock drones into other drones. When done correctly you should be leaving this room around or under 20 seconds.

Ultradive from the door to get to the checkpoint room but it's crucial you don't hit the checkpoint. Wall jump or slam jump to the ceiling and use dashes to go over the top and dodge the checkpoint, then continue. Don't pick up the gun and continue through the level, you can slam store off the doors at the start of the long corridor if you want but it not 100%needed. Once you get to the blue skull room whip the skull and immediately checkpoint reset. You will be further ahead to place blue skull than actual movement.

The only remaining problem in the level to tackle then is the last room. The first fight you want to start by heading ahead to the red door wall and getting a slam store. Using this, perform the blender technique mentioned previously by whipping the red strays into you and finish the blender off by whipping the schisms up into the air and using KB to knock them down into the ground to kill.

The last stage is more drones to whip and punch into eachother, however for making this optimal we do deal with enemy rng in positioning as with very good luck, they can group up and die in one explosion.

Overall aim for 1min. Sub 1min times are great and anyone under 1:10 I would keep. This is definitely a level that tests how good you can chain and perform quick inputs

0-5 weaponless is an interesting level as optimisation comes down to fine timing and persistence. Not a lot of tricks to help us here.

Level begins simple enough with several methods to get across the lava pit, with some optimal set ups doing a slide jump and allowing one dip in the lava to save time. Playing it safe and ultradive works too.

The combat is overall the same old thing. Cerberus doesn't have many parry opportunities so as a boss is tedious to take down, relying on kb whiplash and slam damage. And while the apple parry is possible, it is hard to set up and actually hit so you usually waste more time.

Key strategy revolves around keeping both cerbs alive at once for the chance friendly fire helps out. In addition to this the is one big route discovery that made its way into normal any% runs. When leaving the boss room if you do an ultradive at the door you can escape through the top of the door before the centre of the door opens wide enough.

Time wise sub 1 min is the aim but I'd say probably accept sub 1min 20 or 1min 30.

So this is a departure from doing one level at a time but it's important to mention given the recent update that added p-2 to the game.

It has been confirmed that weaponless p% p-2 is possible. It is by far the hardest level of the game and completion of it without weapons and with a P rank was for a while thought nearly impossible. However the speedrunner Ross has achieved this.

As a weaponless runner they were more focused on fullgame weaponless p% and did most of the routing of the category following the release of wrath and heresy. I do intend to run the category as well but it goes without saying, for weaponless combat skill they are unmatched.

#ultrakill #speedrun #weaponless

Well might as well do 0-4!

For weaponless% there is only one fight you need to optimise in 0-4 and that's the first one. It's also the second place typical routing uses the technique known as blender. Enter the first area and go to the far wall to spawn all enemies in, then start off the blender by grabbing all the strays, as soon as the last one is grabbed let yourself drop and kb all the filth.

Mal face will spawn and die in one or 2 parries, do note that if not dead you can whip em and slam a few times on their face. 4 slams is their full health.

After that leave the room, mix some dsj stuff and slides to get ot the last room. Here you have to avoid the enemy spawn trigger which is done easily by traveling along the ceiling with either a slam store or some good wall junps and dashes.

Once over the trigger just leave the level! Simple as that.

(You defo wanna aim under 30 for this level for sure. Wr iirc is low 20s but I'd say roll with anything below 30)

0-4 for weaponless is probably high up on the list of easiest weaponless% levels.

#ultrakill #speedrun #weaponless

Next post! 0-2!

So the main just with weaponless 0-2 revolves around the out of bounds trick "updoor" which wasn't implemented for a long time in weaponless. In the first room with the 2 strays after the statue move to the end of the room and open the door, then stick to the left wall and go to the begining of the room, making sure not to open the first door. Once in the corner aim at the top of the door ledge and do a dive (slide and jump nearly at that same time).

This should get you on top of the door and ready to just jump out of bounds and slam store to the end of the level

The last room makes use of a fantastic piece of tech you won't see anywhere else called "Blender". What you have to do is perform a slam store as normal (slam and wall jump) but before you hit the ground whip an enemy towards you. Due to the slamming state the enemy turns to mush under your feet. Now just keep chaining whips to stay airborne and once all the stays are gone use kb to get rid of all the filth.

(20 seconds is a really good time but if just starting aim for below 30 I'd say)

I've decided just to get a few more posts out about weaponless% to go through each level in the game and give some pointers, tips, tricks and fun facts!

So here we go! 0-1 The level that prevents weaponless new game as you need to break the glass to avoid picking up the pistol. Besides that though this level plays very standard for weaponless runs. Get out of starting room, perform the pipe clip out of bounds and then leap to the last room. Interestingly enough this mal face appears to have less health than normal, allowing an instakill with parries if you time and aim correctly!

(Good time is anything under 30seconds to around 20. Iirc wr tho is like 12 seconds but absurdly hard to get)

By far, one of the biggest starting challenges for weaponless% is 0-3 and particularly swordsmachine. With fast melee attacks and most of their mobility coming from their swings and lunges staying alive weaponless is tougher than expected especially given you cannot win by keeping your distance.

So how is it done? I find that the best strat is to back up into a corner. It looks and sounds mad but there's proper reasoning. When sm swings, parry the first one while dashing backwards then dash back again to dodge the 2nd and parry dash the 3rd. This way you should conserve most of your health while dealing a significant amount of damage.

One thing to beware, as per weaponless rules you cannot pick up the shotgun. So once the health bar is on a tiny bit left, leap into the air and use the kb explosion to get the last bit done :)

Now do the same again and don't die :)

(Anything sub 50 seconds is fantastic, wr I think is 39)

Random thought, but you know the asymmetrical leg pose thing Gabriel does? Leg version of the limp wrist. If gays could float we would be also doing this.

Fun fact! There is a level you can get infinite style on in the game!!

Head to 1-3, and place both skulls in order to open the secret fight. Return to the terminal at the start in order to unequipped every single weapon except the default revolver. Now go grab the bar of soap hidden in the right side of the level and you are ready to go!

First enter the secret encounter and throw the soap at the red swordsmachine (I reccomend using the whip if you have it.) This will knock the machine down and keep him down forever. Now you shoot em in the head nearly point blank. Then press the last weapon variant used button (default Q) and it will swap you to the same weapon you have equipped. Now shoot again and keep on swapping every time. You will know you are doing it right if the style meter keeps counting your quick draws.

And thats it! Sit there and shoot the dude for as long as you feel like untill you are happy with the massive style bonus you have!

(Ofc you are gonna have to be aware of the other SM attacking you but typically with a little movement and the shots healing they don't kill)

Running a campaign at the moment, had a boss fight that was waaay weighted in my favour for an intentional tpk then revive afterwards. However by some madness, this group of 5 is standing their ground well against a homebrew demilich!! I GAVE IT 22 AC AND 150 HP. The only person to die so far had to be hit with power word kill!!

Thankfully the fight is turning a bit back in my favour, the wizard used the bag of holding bomb trick to flee to the astral plane so 3 party members left. Now the party members have summoned an adult white dragon to help with the high ac and life steal attacks should be okay.

Problem being now that one player didn't die, and now wants to roam the astral plane on a solo quest.
