4-3: A SHOT IN THE DARK

Master ULTRAKILL's 7-1: Garden of Forking Paths! Learn enemy strategies for Mannequins, Minotaurs, and Big Johninator, find collectibles, and conquer the labyrinth.

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    Exit the elevator into a bright, foggy courtyard with white trees and crosses, leading to a marble labyrinth entrance.
  2. 2
    Inside, a locked door on the right and closing doors on the left leave only the forward path. Proceed through a gallery of six Mannequins.
  3. 3
    A red pedestal rises; find a Red Skull Key to unlock the door behind it.
  4. 4
    Return to the first room, open the previously locked door, and wall-jump up a narrow corridor to a high intersection room.
  5. 5
    Press the Alpha (α) button in the intersection to unlock a door elsewhere.
  6. 6
    Head back to the labyrinth's start; the previously locked door is now open. Enter to find a kneeling Mannequin with a Red Skull Key behind a gate. Take the key.
  7. 7
    Return to the Mannequin gallery room with the red pedestal. Six Mannequins will break free and attack; this is your first Mannequin encounter. The song "The World Looks Red" will play.
  8. 8
    After defeating the Mannequins, the blocked gallery doors will open.
  9. 9
    Descend a split staircase into a room with a walkway and two more split staircases. Mannequins will ambush from below.
Tips
  • Mannequins are fast and can climb walls/ceilings. They attack with swipes or by firing Hell Seekers.
  • Hitting a wall-clinging Mannequin stuns them. Sawblade traps are effective due to their chasing behavior.
  • Homing projectiles are easier to parry due to their slower speed and tracking.
  • 4 Soul Orbs
  • 1 Red Soul Orb
  • Defeat the Minotaur (boss)
  • Secret encounter with Big Johninator
