After 3 whole years, it is done.

I began playing this level in 2020, wanting this to be my new hardest after Bloodbath. After about 7k attempts I only managed to get 60% and eventually gave up on the level. At that time I pretty much stopped playing GD for almost a year.

Once I came back around a year later, I was focused on beating this level once and for all. Unfortunately, after playing it religiously for 5 straight days, I just could not finish it. The first clip is from that time, using 144hz.

After the disappointment of dying at the final jump and, only about 30 minutes later, to the wave before said jump, I gave up once again. For the last two years I have been playing this level on and off, always getting close to finishing it but never actually doing it.

After Artificial Ascent, I gave it one more go, getting a 3 attempt practice run randomly and eventually dying at 82. Once more I was crushed, and given my lack of time to play, I simply could not get consistent.

About a week ago I decided that it was time to finish this. On 360 fps and keyboard I was way more consistent at the game and could pretty much beat any level I wanted, as long as I put my mind into it. Following the last 6 Extremes that I beat in just 5 days, I had the confidence to finish this level in just one afternoon. And just like that, after one more 85 fail, I finally got it done.

The level is really, really unbalanced. The hardest sections are way harder than the rest of the level, and given that it's not an easy level AND an XL, you don't really get the chance to attempt the hard parts very often.

PS: The recording starts at 5% because my Nvidia recorder only captures the last 5 minutes, and given my rant at the end of the video, I almost lost more of the recording lol

But with that, I end my Extreme Demon Week. I hope that you enjoyed it, see you next time :)
