ULTRAKILL | Mindflayer Instakill Guide

howdy hey folks i wanted to share a shorter guide video while i worked on the combat guide we're going to talk about the mind flare an enemy i'm sure all of us love and cherish and how to instantly kill her i found out about this in the speedrun channel over on the ultra kill discord i saw this amazing run of 2-3 where the runner cj instantly deleted the two mind players at the end saving a whole lot of time while he wasn't the first to discover this tech he was the first person i've seen use it i tried this out for myself and after some trial and error i finally nailed it but what was it about this technique that kills her so quickly let's take a look and break it down a bit to see what's happening to begin the mindflayer must perform a specific attack in order to pull off the insta-kill and that would be her blue orb attack during this wind-up you can hear her breathe in and bring her arms up it's right around here where you want to attack a self parry with a shotgun looking at the style score over on the right you can see a bunch of friendly fire bonuses if you can see right as she dies the orbs appear and disappear very quickly what's happening is that as she's just spawning in the orbs the shock wave from the explosion pushes all of those orbs back into her dealing a massive amount of damage and killing her you can even get a late parry where only a few orbs hit her and enrage her but a couple of shots should bring her down quickly again too [Music] this actually works with any weapon that causes a shockwave or explosion this includes the malicious railgun self-parry shotguns core eject over pump and the knuckle blaster you should know that the timing for these methods is different between themselves and depending on how far away from the mind flare you are the only exception would be the malicious rail which is a hit scan attack and will hit her instantly from any range explosion knockback works on a lot of projectiles so this isn't exclusive to the mind flare but might not necessarily be an insta kill for example on zero one this is actually used against the malicious face to melt them real quick and there you have it it takes some practice to get it down but landing one is oh oh so satisfying and that's it for now lads i figured this would be something fun to do while i work on the combat guide progress is moving along but it's taking some time with work getting a lot busier on my end so until then take care and stay safe everyone
