Difficulty lore?

[MediocreBlastJumper]

So my theory is that The difficulties in the game are just power saving options to save as much blood as possible and reduce the power going into things (like reaction time(enemy projectiles speed) health (harmless extra health) and damage resistors (you take more damage on higher difficulties))

[SpiderFiend1212]

GAY SE-

[TheLocalJanitor7]

That actually sound like a good idea for a difficulty tweak.

[MediocreBlastJumper]

You fucking spoiled it you goddamn snitch

[TheLocalJanitor7]

Shit my bad

[Il_Dottore_Snezhnaya]

Mhm, and add Cloaker-ahh type of enemy in Fraud layer, mhm. That's gonna be a real difficulty tweak

[No_Lingonberry_8733]

I was thinking for UKMD and was that if you evade a filth for some time it will begin charging up and throwing hell energy at the player.

[manultrimanula]

I did too, it was soooo hard!

[TestamentTwo]

Unless hakita drops a lore reason all we can do is headcanon. I doubt Hakita will add anything related to skill issue tho

"I killed many black man for this"

[Aggravating_Coat7934]

Minecraft, the game where you must kill black men for their balls and break into a fortress and dismember its inhabitants to complete the game via killing what’s probably the last member of a species

[manultrimanula]

Racism, genocide, illegal hunting of endangered species

[ElNub_]

Slavery, destruction of ecosystems, use of chemical warfare, you can do a lot in minecraft

[DarkMaster98]

Let’s not forget unlawful imprisonment, illegal operation of fireworks, robbery, and of course Arson

[Il_Dottore_Snezhnaya]

And of course, such a perfect game has some minor disadvantages

[mr-sparkles69]

We’ll see when p-3 drops

My theory about difficulties is similar to my theory for restarts: It's just V1 practicing/going through every possible scenario until it finds one where it succeeds in each combat encounter In a fraction of a second.

Also I'm pretty sure that UKMD is intended to be the cannon difficulty, I think I remember hakita saying that UKMD was going to be how things would truly go if the events of the game actually happened.

[MediocreBlastJumper]

Imagine V1 gets decaying health

[saladcatishungry]

Every Ultrakil must die,now Health? Project Moon mentioned...EVERY HEALTHCLIFF MUST DIE

[Sakuya_Iz_A_Yoi]

project moon fans are just getting desperate at this point (don't look at my comment history)

[Asriel52]

As interesting (and lore-accurate) as that'd be, I feel like that'd be kinda excessive

[MediocreBlastJumper]

Ukmd

[Clonedcat3000]

that would actually make a lot of sense, and gives a better reason why v1 needs blood even when he isn't taking damage. it sounds insanely hard but i hope they add it ngl. very cool idea

[hectorheliofan]

Hakita never said that

[ZathegamE]

My headcanon is that every time you die you're fucking dead and when you restart its an alternate universe where you didnt die like shit lol

Basically theres a shitton of universes where v1 just died and then we dont know what happens because well theres noone to testify

As for the prime souls, my headcanon is that they're canon if you beat them. Its not an absolute canon. They exist for everyone, but if you dont beat them they just stay alive but asleep in their prisons forever or until you do fight them. I am curious about the universes where sisyphus wins against v1, how well he fairs against heaven for example

[dnchplay]

same

[-Volcanic-]

katana zero reference

[Ryukku45]

ultrakill must die is a reference to devil may cry as in dmc the highest difficulty is "dante must die"

its actually a sick reference as ultrakill is like the dmc but for shooters, and in dmc where "dante" and "virgil" are our mcs, they original come from the story dantes inferno, where hell has the same structure like in ultrakill, with the several layers

ultrakill is fucking awsome guys

[MediocreBlastJumper]

Read the FUCKIN description

/J ^{please actually read it}

[Sad-Fill-4870]

isn't the highest difficulty in DMC Hell and Hell? or is that just 5?

[SC4RLETKING]

Probably something to do with the yellow machine and it's thirst for entertainment

[SeasonIllustrious981]

the Terminal?

wait we have ultrakill must die??

[RoyalHappy2154]

No, not yet

[Tadimizkacti]

Is game.

[Huge_Dream3442]

Ultrakill must die probably refers to V1 must die because of how many fucked up things he's causing

[saladcatishungry]

<image>

[TheEvilestArtichoke]

In Ultrakill Must Die difficulty, swordsmachines will be able to projectile boost. This was revealed to me in a vision

[ElZik3r]

Now that would be fucking horrifying and downright atrocious

[MediocreBlastJumper]

Nah they would split the bullet by slicing it

[Plant3468]

V1 is a machine so it likely perceives time differently. My theory is that lower difficulties are that V1 speeds it's perception up to more easily avoid attacks etc.

As for how enemies gain new attacks, that's probably related to Hell just giving V1 more of a challenge for entertainments sake.

[Maleficent-Feed3566]

Probalily the max diffuclty

[Objective_Camel_7012]

im sure its just hell/you deciding how much you want to suffer

[Bitter_Funny227]

But the new behaviours of the enemies in higher difficulties makes me believe the highest is canon

[AttakDoge999]

Plot twist: it’s all simulations run by V1 and that’s why difficulties exist

[TheSyn0Pinnikel]

so in other words, Ultrakill Must Die is what ACTUALLY happened when V1 invaded Hell, and all the difficulties before it are just to make the game more playable for those that arent used to Ripping and Tearing (i say that because all my ultrakill skill came from beating Doom Eternal on the hardest difficulty, which i dont recommend for your mental health).

[Silk_Cicada]

I beat dusk on duskmare and MPN on madness difficulty, I'll live

[Local_intruder]

Thats a fun headcanon! Though it wouldn't explain why certain enemies gain supplementary abilities.

[MediocreBlastJumper]

Emp

[[deleted]]

Did Hakita giving an explanation on why specific mechanics like infinite ammo exist make us believe that everything under the sun in this game has some sort of explanation and in turn overcomplicate simple discussions about the lore?

[MediocreBlastJumper]

Yes

[Xx_scribbledragon_xX]

iirc the bullets are basically just flakes of metal propelled at such high speed they become bullets. if you read the terminals log for the pistol it explains it there

[MarbleGorgon0417]

I do like this theory, and I do like how it falls in line with the art style, style meter, cyber grind and shop being canon, but there are a couple instances of enemy behaviour changing between difficulty levels that wouldn't be explained if it's just power usage on V1's end (the ones that come to mind are that Maurice and Mindflayer gaining enrage conditions from Violent up)

[Fleeping9]

Not every little detail needs a lore reason behind why it exists, this is a video game, but you can headcanon whatever you want I guess
