This is a very important extreme demon completion for me.

In short, this is the longest time any extreme has taken me, almost 5 years.

In long, I first played this level in June 2017. I had gotten 98% on Bloodbath a couple weeks earlier and had just dropped it, deciding to do ABP as my 200th demon instead. I got 69-100% and some other small runs but lost motivation rather quickly, although I remember spending at least 2k attempts on the level then lmao.

Next time I picked the level up again it was December 2017. I streamed the level five times during December and January and got to 72% and 71% x2. My last stream of the level was titled "this level sucks tbh" so it's rather obvious that I soon dropped it again.

The third time I took up the level in 2020 if I remember correctly, might have been late 2019 too but I'm really not sure. Anyways, that time I managed to get to the 70's dual over 35 times but never passed it. This was due to sync issues: the dual was in different sync when playing in normal mode compared to startpos runs. This made the first clicks unbelievably hard because of the blind transition. Those few times I got past the first clicks I panicked and died later, getting to 73% at most. At the time I thought the sync issue was due to my computer as had frequent sync problems with nearly every level no matter how many objects. After a long grind I gave up once again.

3 days ago I picked the level up once again and played it before and after work, getting 40-100 and 71% on my first day of coming back. The sync issue was there again and I died to the beginning of the duals a few times the next day. This time I knew that the problem wasn't my computer's fault or anything since I've used auto music sync hack for a while now and it nearly completely removes sync issues. Thanks to RpgRaketti's advice I manage to realise that I was doing ONE click at Woogi's part a little too late and it messed up the sync (tysm gd hitboxes...) All these years the issue was just me doing it wrong. Ironic. I beat the level the next day with no problems. I died 3 times to the wave after the dual but it was okay since now I was positive that I could easily beat the level any attempt. GG, this is the longest time any extreme has taken me. I really think that if I had discovered the root of the sync problem back then, I would had easily beaten the level in 2017 or 2018 but oh well, shit happens.

About the level: for the time it was made it is surely one of the best-looking and well-made levels to exist. I really like the decoration and the gameplay is good for the most part. A few transitions are annoying, such as 31%, 47%, 69%, 71% and 77%, 71 being by far the worst because it is a blind timing that made my experience the way it was due to sync failures.

Attempts: about 850 new attempts and est. 5-8k old, possibly even more
