ULTRAKILL All Challenges Guide (Up to 3-2)

Challenge: Get 5 kills with a single glass panel

Simple enough.The level has two rooms where you can do this:

Easiest way to do this is to jump repeatedly in the same spot. The enemies will cluster directly underneath you, and their attack is too slow to hurt you so long as you keep jumping. Once enough are below you, break the glass panel and dash away.

Challenge: Beat the secret encounter

Play through the level as normal until you’re able to access the room with the blue skull pedestal. In the room is a grate you can shoot and slide through.
Alternatively, you can slide under the crushers, in the final room of the level.

Slide around until you come to an area where there are more vents above you. Shoot them off, and head on through to fight a boss.

Challenge: Kill only 1 enemy

In the first room, hop onto the raised platform across from where you entered so that the enemies in the room can’t get beneath you. Then, break the glass panel directly above you, ground slam, and jump immediately after hitting the ground. Ground slam again at the peak of the jump, jump again when you hit the ground, and so on until you can land on the glass. Don’t kill the enemy waiting for you there, and just walk past it to fight Swordsmachine.

Challenge: Slide uninterrupted for 17 seconds

Not much to this. Slide from the start of the level to the end of the level after you’ve beaten it. Just be sure not to break any glass panels, and make sure the malicious face is out of the way, since its corpse has collision. A good way to do this is to lure it towards the side of the room by standing in a spot where it can’t see you, like here:

Challenge: Don’t inflict fatal damage to any enemy

Whittle down the health of both of the bosses until they kill themselves with their explosive attack. try to lead them towards a wall so they’re more likely to get caught up in it.

Challenge: Complete the level in under 10 seconds

Using the marksman pistol, toss a coin into the first fountain you see.

Challenge: Do not pick up any skulls

This challenge is impossible until you get the railcannon from 2-2.
Play through the level as normal until you get to this room:Head through the alcove in the corner of the room without picking up the blue skull, and shoot at the coils with the electric railcannon. 

This will drop you near the level exit, where you can complete the challenge.

Challenge: Beat the secret encounter

Play through the level and get both skulls on their pedestals. This will open up the way to the boss.

Challenge: Do not pick up any skulls

You can skip collecting all the skulls by going through the room with the pedestals, and breaking the window here to access the boss:

Challenge: Don’t open any normal doors

In the first room, there’s a breakable wall next to the staircase. Blow it up to get outside.

Once you’re there, get onto the roof of the building, and use dashes and wall jumps to get past the tower and land on a jump pad:

Continue on until the dash-jumping tutorial. Use this jump pad before you try to wall jump past the tower, or you won’t have enough height:

From there, complete the level as normal.

Challenge: Complete the level in under 60 seconds

Not many tricks to this one, just run like hell. I recommend using the pump shotgun and projectile-boosting as much as possible. I also highly recommend overcharging the pump shotgun’s alt-fire to explode your way to the top of the spiral staircase instead of sliding or dashing up it.

Challenge: Don’t touch any water

In the first room, there’s a wall you can explode to get access to the blue skull pedestal. Best to get it out of the way.

When you get to the room with the waterfall, dash to get underneath the right side of the bridge. In here is one of three fuseboxes you need to destroy to beat the level. Go ahead and do that.

Continue as normal until reaching the large room with jump pads and meat grinders. Directly left from where you enter is an alcove containing another fusebox. Use these jump pads to get to it:

The final fusebox is in the second-to-last room of the level. On either side of the staircase is an alcove you can slide into to reach it.

Challenge: Parry a punch

This one’s simple, but not the easiest to do. Just keep trying to parry the punches (not the slams) that the Corpse King throws using the blue arm until you get the timing down.

Challenge: None (as of current version)

Challenge: Drop Gabriel in a pit

In the first phase of the fight, get Gabriel down to low enough health where you can enter second phase quickly. Then, wall jump off the side of the arena until he teleports to you, then damage him so that he enters his second phase. I recommend using the marksman for this, as you can focus on getting back onto the arena without needing to aim at Gabriel.
