Bloodlust (Extreme Demon) by Knobbelboy (On stream) - Geometry Dash [144hz]
627This experience was interesting to say the least. I tried this back in December, but decided that it was not worth rushing to beat this as I found the extension too hard. I then dropped it.
I came back and did my first Bloodlust stream on April 18. The first parts were very inconsistent, but they got better. On April 22, I made it to 49%. Progress sped up after this, with my new best going up every stream. On May 1, I got a run from 19-91, which motivated me a lot. The next day, I fluked from 54% to 80%. This is where progress halted. I got insanely demotivated, which was combined with my poor mental state at the time. This resulted in me taking a break and beating Omicron. After that, it wasn't much better. I was still demotivated, which resulted in me not streaming for 11 days. During that time, I played a little bit off stream, and got even more demotivated. On May 20, I started the streams again, and got good runs on all of them. This motivated me, which resulted in the completion. In the end, I had 11 deaths past Etzer, with 3 of them being in the extension, and 0 past 80%. This is by far the luckiest I have ever gotten on a new hardest, and probably will not be topped. I think the ladder helped me a lot more than I thought, since after playing and fluking all those XL demons, I had built up insane nerve control, which made me a lot calmer at Willy and TMN. I'm still in shock now, I didn't think I would beat it yesterday as there are so many choke points including and past 80%.
Speaking of choke points, let's talk about the level itself, shall we? At some points it is pretty unfair. The first ship is stupid, but gets consistent eventually. The first wave never got consistent for me, but it is probably easy for people who are a lot better at wave than I am. The ship corridor at 12% was also very hard for me when I started, but I learned a strategy for it. Michigun's part was way better than it was in Bloodbath, which I'm happy about. The one part of it that I didn't like is the straight fly, but that's because I'm not the best at ship. Evasium was alright except for the mini wave, but even that got consistent. Namtar seemed like it would be a huge pain for me, but ended up being alright. What was a huge pain for me was the swing copter. That swing copter was complete luck for me, until I was shown a strategy for it, which helped a ton. After using this, I had only died there 2 more times. I had found a consistent strategy for Nikro's part itself, except for the mini ship corridor at the very beginning. That transition never got consistent. Etzer's part was alright after some practice, but I still died there a lot. Havok was easy, but was also easy to choke, which I did 3 times, same with Giron. Gboy was fine except for the blue orb at 63%, which was buffed a ton from Bloodbath.
Now here's where this gets fun, hehe...
Manix's extension part is so bad. It is filled to the brim with choke points that do not get consistent whatsoever, such as the blue orb in the robot, and the ball timing at the end. I don't know how I only died here twice, I'm really happy about that. Xaro's part was my least favorite for a long time, until I was taught a strategy for the 80% green orb. Towards the end, I found a strategy to add on to that to make it even more consistent. After that, I could do the part almost every time. The corridor was consistent, except for the ball, which I died at a ton in copies. Terron's part is easy once you get the muscle memory. Willy's part is terrible. It doesn't get consistent no matter how much you play it, and I don't know how I fluked it. TMN's part is fine, except for the UFO transitions. That, combined with nerves, is what gives this part so much of it's difficulty. Again, no idea how I never died here. I didn't deserve to get this lucky. I would recommend this if you're looking to beat a hard level that is iconic, as most iconic levels are really bad to play. This level isn't that good, but it's not as bad as something like Sonic Wave or Athanatos.
I don't know how many times I'm gonna say this, but I still don't know how I got so lucky. I really don't think I deserved that, but whatever. I'm really happy that I managed to beat this, if you would've told me this 2 years ago while I was still doing Black Blizzard, I would've called you insane. Thank you guys so much for sticking with me, here's to many more big moments.
