History NightmareFuel / Ultrakill

*** The Guttertanks themselves are pretty intimidating, just like the Gutterman, they are red-colored, hulking robots but instead of a chaingun, they wield missile launcher in their right arm that looks like German tanks of UsefulNotes/WorldWarI. As mentioned above, they were specifically made to kill Guttermans, and boy do they do their work perfectly, killing them with '''one punch.''' Said punches not only kill Guttermans, it can launch V1 like a ragdoll thrown with force. Good thing you can, at least, ride the rockets the Guttertank shoots.

** The secret lore book hidden in 7-4 gives a hint to why these massive things are in Hell despite all of them being destroyed at the end of War. The text is written in font used by a malevolent being and depicts its utterly sadistic appraisal of such machines of destruction, considering them perfect. That's right, this wicked being liked these monsters so much ''it recreated them itself and gave them their own battlegrounds in Violence.'' An unexpected and horrifying turn of events, even more when [[spoiler:it’s implied that '''Hell itself''' wrote the text]]. Have a look of the text yourself:

*** How they're created is just as horrifying. After the Angels left the Violence layer due to God disappearing the sinners decided this way the best chance to actually escape Violence...Then they got to the Garden of Forking Paths, which like most of Hell became sentient and started to fuck with them by making them get lost inside till they collapsed from exhaustion into a deep sleep. They would then be torn apart joint by joint and have their remains stuffed into a hollow shell, turning into a Mannequin. Said remains are ''[[AndIMustScream still alive and conscious but have no way to control their bodies as they are puppeted into combat in constant agony.]]''

** A closer look at the Earthmover's feet shows them each trapped by a reddish mass, which [[WordOfGod Hakita]] has stated are the overgrown roots of [[ChehkovsGun the trees you fed in 7-3]], trapping the Earthmover in its place. Once you make your way inside the machine, its insides are also covered in ''flesh''. But it's not Hell mass or Suicide Tree roots, and the real answer makes you wish it were. Instead, all that flesh is already '''a part of its design''', confirming that all of the robots, including V1, are ''{{Meatsack Robot}}s''.

Instead, all that flesh is already '''a part of its design''', confirming that all of the robots, including V1, are ''{{Meatsack Robot}}s''. An easy-to-miss detail is that when you hook onto the yellow Whiplash beacon on its leg, blood begins to pour out of the machine's side pipes like a bloody waterfall.
** Previous gigantic bosses at least were not too big for you to engage. This thing? It's so huge you have to perform a challenging ColossusClimb by using unreliable steam launch pads and mechanisms to traverse its gigantic body while drop pods containing enemies fall from the sky to hinder you. [[BehemothBattle All of this is happening while it's fighting another Earthmover]].
** At one point you finally reach a possible entrance point, then its whole system of defense mechanisms gets triggered. It has everything: rockets, bombs, homing orbs, and even a tracking laser beam. This thing knows you're climbing it and it's not holding back. The way the system springs in very suddenly can give a scare too.

** After a race against the flood and a small obstacle course, you have to fight the [[ReactorBoss mechanical brain]] of this beast. A mechanical brain that, upon closer inspection with cheats, ''[[WetWareCPU reveals an organic brain]]'', further proving its MeatSackRobot design while the thing is roaring as it keeps taking damage.

* The Prime Sanctums, three {{Brutal Bonus Level}}s accessed by P-ranking every level in every act, are not all that scary by themselves, but they make up for it with their atmosphere, which does a damn good job at making you fear what you are about to face through atmosphere and buildup alone.

** The Swordsmachines are tall, sword wielding Machines that are introduced in level 0-3 and act as the sub-boss of the level. They are introduced with one of them running away, mowing down all the Husks they encounter and giving us an impression of how strong they are. At one point of the level, the Swordsmachine we chase falls down from the ceiling with no warning at all and starts attacking V1. When we deplete enough health, they will run away, leaving their shotgun behind and return for the end of the level, now attacking more ferociously with their sword. In the Terminals it’s written that they have amassed a devoted fanbase of other Machines that try to copy them, how powerful the Swordsmachines are that the already logical-minded Machines who hold no love for one another tried to replicate them and even feel respect and admirance for them? The first encounter with the Swordsmachine shows why the other Machines respect them. Its appearance isn’t any better, a tall yellow and dirty robot with a sword on its left hand and a shotgun in the right hand, and it can attack more aggresively if enraged after one of its attacks is parried. Also, apparently, the Swordsmachines' current form is not their real form and their original form is all but forgotten, the Swordsmachines have been modifying their bodies to reach their current more powerful form. [[RiddleForTheAges What was their true form?]]

* The boss of Limbo, V2 is another robot from the same line that V1 belongs to but they are colored red instead of blue like V1. They appear at the end of 0-4 with an unexpected entrance by crashing through the stained-glass window and salutes us before fighting. When we defeat them, V2 runs and [[AnArmAndALeg leaving their left arm, the Knucklebuster]] behind. The sudden fight against a Machine that looks exactly like our playable character can suprise a person or two. V2 returns back for 4-4 level and they are not happy at all of their previous fight at Limbo. If we hit V2 with their previous arm, they will be enraged and attack more savagely and speeding up their attacks. When we start to chase them while coming down the pyramid, V1 makes V2 fall off the pyramid and splatter them into a fine paste when hitting the ground, [[KilledOfForReal killing them for good this time.]] [[CruelAndUnusualDeath What a way to go, right?]]

* The Machines are MechanicalAbomination incarnate. These robots were made to fight in a dreadful war known as the Final War that lasted centuries, this war was so destructive that it nearly drove humankind into extinction and they really show why they were one of the most terrifying {{Killer Robot}}s in all of fiction when compared to the likes of the Franchise/{{Terminator}} or the Franchise/{{Matrix}}. The Machines were so destructive and monstrous that ''an evil force from beyond'' took notes from them and to top all of it, they are now invading Hell after exterminating all life on Earth's surface for more blood to feast on, and if anything, they have completely destroyed Limbo and Lust '''in a matter of hours.'''

** The Guttermen are easily the most fucked up non-boss enemy in the game so far by a country mile. To start, their appearance alone is intimidating, being a hulking, chaingun-wielding brute doubling with a head consisting of a giant ball covered in several crater-shaped vents, which is a massive problem if you have trypophobia (fear of holes).

*** The Guttertanks themselves are pretty intimidating, just like the Gutterman, they are red-colored, hulking robots but instead of a chaingun, they wield missile launcher in their right arm that looks like German tanks of the WW1. As mentioned above, they were specifically made to kill Guttermans, and boy do they do their work perfectly, killing them with '''one punch.''' Said punches not only kill Guttermans, it can launch V1 like a ragdoll thrown with force. Good thing you can, at least, ride the rockets the Guttertank shoots.

* The character we play as, V1, is [[MookHorrorShow a different level]] of NightmareFuel and we thank Hakita for making them the PlayerCharacter instead of one of the game's bosses. A blue colored combat robot that is [[HealItWithBlood able to absorb the blood of their enemies to heal their wounds]], a proficiency in [[HyperspaceArsenal all their arsenal]] which includes: a revolver that can be charged to make more damage with the fact that they can throw coins (that are made out of the excess of iron of the blood V1 consumes) into the air to ricochet the bullets and always make an accurate hit, a heat shotgun that is able to turn anyone near them into LudicrousGibs in a blink of an eye, a railgun that can disintegrate anyone on it’s path, a missile launcher that V1 can ride on their own missiles, a nailgun that acts as a chaingun that can be upgraded into a sawblade launcher. V1 is so strong that they can parry the punches of the gigantic Corpse of King Minos, win - twice - against Gabriel, the most powerful arch-angel and the most loyal of the Council of Angels, and kill the Prime souls of King Minos and King Sisyphus, who are so strong that the Angels had to procurate that these two couldn’t escape from their prisons. They are motivated by the same reason as their fellow machines: take as much blood as possible to stay alive, and they are the strongest of all the Machines.
** The true purposes of V1 is as awesome as terrifying as it is. It is heavily implied by the Terminals that the line of robots that V1 is part of is actually made to fight and kill the 1000-THR Earthmover robots, who are titanic robots in the shape of a horse that are so tall that they dwarf both the already massive Corpse of King Minos and the titanic Leviathan, and were built with lightning cannons that can nuke entire cities and mountains with ease. Just the fact that V1 was made to kill these colossal monsters is as awesome as it’s fear inducing.

** Even after the thing is dead, you can glimpse into the terminal entry and learn some truly ''horrifying details''. After the end of trench warfare and at the tail end of the LensmanArmsRace, its ilk were made as magnum opuses of machines, their introduction ''beginning the last and most destructive phase of the Final War''. These things could level entire cities with one blast of their railguns, forcing civilians to create cities on their backs as all other places were practically gone and almost caused the end of the world! Because of their actions, the Long Night has begun, plunging the world into darkness for a very long time, cutting the Earthmovers from their solar energy, and [[EnemyMine forcing all of humanity to stop the war together]] if they want to keep the planet. To put things in perspective, The Leviathan is [[BeastOfTheApocalypse supposed to herald the Apocalypse]], yet it was [[SealedEvilInACan trapped in the ocean Styx]] due to being struck down by Gabriel. These things on the other hand? They're so damn '''[[WeaponsOfMassDestruction powerful]]''' they nearly caused TheEndOfTheWorldAsWeKnowIt. MugglesDoItBetter, [[GoneHorriblyRight even for the worse]]...

*** There are other two Swordsmachines that we fight in 1-3 known as Tundra and Agony, being respectively blue and red. Remember when we said that the Swordsmachine amassed a fanbase? They are one of those fans of the Swordsmachine. Tundra will fight more in ranged attack by throwing you with their sword while Agony will fight you with a more agressive melee combat, making them a risky encounter when trying to heal from their blood. The original Swordsmachine must have been a legend if they had fans like these.
