5-S: I ONLY SAY THIS TO HURT YOU

Full walkthrough for ULTRAKILL's 7-1: Garden of Forking Paths level. Learn enemy locations, collectible spots, and boss strategies for this Act III level.

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    Exit the elevator into a white courtyard and enter the labyrinth.
  2. 2
    In the first room, the left doors close, and the right doors are locked. Proceed through the center doors into a gallery with 6 Mannequins.
  3. 3
    A red pedestal rises; you need a Red Skull Key. Return to the first room, where the previously locked right door is now open.
  4. 4
    Navigate the narrow corridor and wall-jump to a higher floor. Enter a room with an Alpha (α) button and a blue pedestal. Pressing the button unlocks a door elsewhere.
  5. 5
    A book in this room contains lore about the Garden and violence.
  6. 6
    Return to the first room, where the door to the right of the entrance is now open. This leads to a room with many stationary Mannequins and a kneeling Mannequin holding a Red Skull Key behind a gate. Take the key.
  7. 7
    Return to the Mannequin gallery room and use the Red Skull Key on the red pedestal. This triggers an ambush by 6 Mannequins. Defeat them to progress.
  8. 8
    Mannequins are fast, climb walls/ceilings, and attack with swipes or Hell Seekers. Sawblade traps are effective.
  9. 9
    After defeating the Mannequins, the black wall retracts, allowing you to proceed.
  10. 10
    Descend a staircase into a room with split staircases and two stationary Mannequins.
  11. 11
    Continue through the labyrinth, encountering more Mannequins and other enemies.
  12. 12
    Eventually, you will reach the boss encounter with the Minotaur.
  13. 13
    The secret encounter involves Big Johninator.
Tips
  • Homing projectiles are easier to parry due to their slower speed and tracking.
  • Hitting Mannequins while they are on walls stuns them.
  • Sawblade traps are effective against Mannequins.

Completing the level unlocks 7-2. The secret encounter with Big Johninator is required for the level's challenge.
