At long last, another guide is finally here. The longest video I've ever made so far too!
I couldn't have gotten this done without the help of others in the community to give me some great feedback and corrections. I hope I've done the information justice and that you all enjoy it and learn something new!

    The fact that you can actually ride the rocket is still so unbelievable to me, like thats something you only see in animated cutscenes and stuff but you can actually just do that here
  • @theanimator3263
    I love how at 18:33 the cleaner dodges the cannonball and in the next cut it’s “surprisingly” dead. That’s a fun little detail there.

    ULTRAKILL content may die out one day, but Herbs videos will go down in history as the best go-to videos for ULTRAKILL content.(In my opinion)

    13:55 - The game will damage you when whiplashing a rocket towards you (when travelling up) because it thinks you're eligible for FUP and will cause a super explosion instead of letting you rocket-ride. However, to rocket-ride, you will need to jump on the rocket, and to do that, you'll need to be falling on the rocket. This is how the game thinks that: "Okay, this player is travelling up." = "I need to cause a super explosion." "Okay, this player is travelling down." = "I need to let the player rocket-ride." It's going to be tiring to COMPLETELY analyze the rocket-ride, but to summarize: Rockets got a collision on top of them that will activate as a seat for the player when meeting certain conditions (Falling towards the top of the rocket, freezed or not). Upon reaching these conditions, the rocket will change the player's movement as it is intended, AKA rocket-riding controls. Video's great, and I learned new tricks from it. It'd been great if it was released sooner, but I can't complain; it's already out anyway.

    I always knew I could trust you to better understand CBT
  • @Cosmothecat_
    Babe wake up, Herbmessiah posted a new ultraguide
  • @blenderguy5659
    I used this to sleep. I slept really well. When i woke up in the morning, i started watching it again, and fell asleep again. 10/10
  • @Minos_Prime2
    I adore you for putting rocket jump waltz in the background
  • @Dantido
    Ah yes, CannonBall Torture, the biggest weakness of Sisyphus.
  • @KitsuneGB-hc9zb
    I feel like, with the release of Violence, it’s important to mention that the freezeframe can also freeze the rockets shot by Guttertanks.
  • @LoL-en6sv
    Why do I watch this, I dont even play Ultrakill💀
  • @DevNode27
    Glad I could be of service o7 Your Ultrakill guides are an incredibly valuable community resource, and I'm honored to have been a part of the process ^^
  • @simon.r.k
    Thanks a lot for your rocketride tutorial. I had a hard time understanding it even with other tutorials but you explain it so well that I finally was able to learn it. Generally I love how detailed your guides are.
  • if you activate the freeze frame, look straight up, shoot two rockets without moving, and jump on top of the top rocket when the freeze frame deactivates the rocket you're riding on will be pushed up by a rocket that doesn't lose speed/fall down like the rocket you are riding allowing for greater and greater hight.
  • Great video, however one thing I would have added is a tech where you whiplash a light enemy and shoot a rocket immediately after at said enemy, creating a red explosion on command. Overall really good video tho.
  • @bumblegoot1139
    I’ve definitely found myself struggling to incorporate the rocket launcher into my arsenal, it’s mostly just “Anti-Cerberus-Cannon” for me. This video should definitely help me flow with it better!
  • One thing you missed with rocket jumping is what I like to call the super rocket jump, Simply look at the ground then do a dash jump and rocket jump at the same time you get a lot more distance than a normal dash jump!
  • @viggofriberg
    Hot tip: initiate a rocket ride on a guttertank's rocket and ride it into them for the +ROUND TRIP style bonus and a not quite easy instakill.
  • @unixerse297
    i don't even have Ultrakill but this guide is very great to watch when i do get the game
