Prelude: The Mouth of Hell

Guide to ULTRAKILL's 7-1: Garden of Forking Paths. Learn about Mannequins, the Minotaur boss, the Big Johninator secret encounter, and collectables in this Violence layer level.

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    Exit the elevator into a white courtyard and enter the marble labyrinth.
  2. 2
    In the first room, only the center doors open. Proceed through the gallery of Mannequins to find a red pedestal.
  3. 3
    Return to the first room; the previously locked door is now open. Wall-jump up the narrow corridor to reach an intersection with an Alpha button and a blue pedestal.
  4. 4
    Pressing the Alpha button unlocks a door back near the start.
  5. 5
    Go back to the start of the labyrinth to find the unlocked door. Take the Red Skull Key from the kneeling Mannequin.
  6. 6
    Return to the Mannequin gallery room and use the Red Skull Key on the red pedestal. This triggers an ambush by six Mannequins.
  7. 7
    Defeat the Mannequins. The black wall blocking progress will retract.
  8. 8
    Descend the split staircase into a small room with a walkway.
  9. 9
    Continue through the level, navigating the labyrinth and underground tunnels.
  10. 10
    Eventually, you will reach the boss encounter with the Minotaur.
  11. 11
    After defeating the Minotaur, proceed to the end of the level.
Tips
  • Mannequins are fast but fragile. Hitting them while they're on walls stuns them. Sawblade traps are effective due to their tendency to chase.
  • Homing projectiles are easier to parry due to their slower speed and tracking.
  • The secret encounter involves fighting Big Johninator.
