Technically my third SIX star now if we're not counting my 95% completed 5bfierv. Pretty fun map, I don't remember much about CP1 and CP2 but most of the rooms were good. Only room I really didn't like was the one with the long crouch climb at the start. Final (Order) was also mostly fun, but it definitely got more tiring to play the longer I was on it. The gameplay itself is fun, although I personally think it reuses too much from its prior rooms. I had also learned the room and did some attempts, then ended up just not playing the map for a week. The main problem I had with Order is that it's both too long and frontloaded. It's split into thirds: 1st is probably tied with 2nd for the hardest, and I think it's also the longest section by a little bit; 2nd has a really long crouch climb at the start followed by some gameplay, and ending with the hardest input sequence in the room; 3rd is the easiest by a landslide like it's not even close. There's also a don't choke called "DON'T FUCK UP" which is honestly such a peak name. Basically the first half of Order was much much harder than the second half (with the crouch climb basically being difficult filler gameplay), and combined with the length of the room made attempts feel like I was getting absolutely nowhere. Though I do think that if you can handle rooms like this, you'll really enjoy this map, especially if you enjoy ULTRAKILL music.
I should be able to finish judging buffer contest before I leave for vacation, though I'm not sure if I'll be able to get a video out alongside it's public release.

Overall, really fun map! Biggest issue were the earlier rooms, or I guess the rooms before R9. I just found them more frustrating, maybe cause some of them just had random 1f inputs. But post these rooms, no 1fs which made the rest of the map super super fun. Resilience (FC final) is probably my favorite room in the map. It may not seem like it, but it does get suprisingly consistent, except maybe the ultra chain at the end but I only died to that like twice. I dont really know if this goes into high or low 3*, theres also the newly added 4* but I dont think its nearly hard enough.
For 1k subs I wanted to finally finish Election D-Side, AKA finish blind room (R8). But I kinda just lose motivation in a couple minutes every time I open up the map, so I guess this map is the replacement. Its difficult and manages to be actually enjoyable. I might go for Drifting Deep silver again (or drop it for the millionth time), cause I dont really know what other hard list maps to beat. Possibilities would be Avian Ascension, or to finish Spectral Cave. But like always I have no clue.")

Very proud of this clear. Required lots of practice in USC for lasers and that one wonky button part

Ill get this out of the way. Is this actually a new hardest Celeste map? Very likely yes. I personally think that Im very good at theo/throwable gameplay, and I got through every other room in this map in around 5-6 hours TOTAL. Id say the rest of the map is around mid-high 2* difficulty, but Abaddon is when the difficulty just skyrockets. This single room took nearly 30 hours, making it the longest Ive spent on a room in Celeste AND clearing a map. Now I did *almost* manage to clear around 20 hours in, but I still didnt clear it. And even then if I did, Id have said that this wouldve been harder than Dashless+ and LXVI. Abaddon is simply brutal in difficulty. But who knows, currently only me and Mei have significant progress on this room, and maybe Issy will just completely obliterate this room in 10 hours idk. But still, its extremely likely this may be the hardest (at at least one of) room in Modded Celeste.
As for my personal experience, I thought most of the map was pretty fun! For being made in very little time, I personally liked most of the gameplay. Though as usual there were always some random spots in rooms that kinda just sucked (like pre-nerf R9 Sumber start). Definitely my least favorite room was R7 Agony, consisting of the most ANNOYING 1f at the start of the room and at the time of playing, a completely RNG cornerboost ending. For the other rooms, I dont really think theres anything as notable. One tech that I did have to learn was the dream jump hyper (or DHJ or Mickey Mouse). I remember having a really hard time learning this input (especially cause the tutorial requires a controlled jump), but believe it or not these do get extremely consistent.
Now Abaddon. I did mention this when talking about difficulty, but yes this is an extremely difficult room. Of the four quarters in this room, I dont really know which one is the hardest anymore, but its between Q2 and Q3. Q2 used to be really difficult, but eventually got consistent. Q3 when starting out *seemed* to be not that bad, but I soon realized how easy it was to die not only due to nerves, but because this quarter is generally very awkward in some places and generally easy to die in. Q1 is like 50/50, sometimes you clear it multiple times in a row, sometimes you just get stuck at the beginning bumpers cause they SUCK! And Q4 is definitely the easiest, albeit possibly easiest to die to. Being centered around just speed and dream blocks, its very die-able. Now I still think I did start to get a little unlucky cause yknow, dying 10 times in the same spot in Q4 isnt exactly normal luck (maybe a skill issue). But despite this, I still think its the easiest quarter.
My take on Dont Choke is this: its really not that difficult like Im sorry lol. I can definitely see how people think this part is absolutely horrible to put at the end of the room, but practicing it you realize that it isnt bad at all (at least for me). Theres 2 spots that are die-able: The turnaround bumper and the bumper after the fall. Basically everything else in that room was free. Now I do also agree that this isnt really a Dont Choke, but basically another (smaller) room. But I think that *eventually,* this becomes closer to what a Dont Choke could feel like, as I only died two (TECHNICALLY ONE) times to it.
I think Im done yapping. Huge thanks to ZKB for making the map and Freeka for making the awesome music. Especially thanks to Mei for helping me increase my incentive to clear. Shoutout to all the people currently attempting this map, and shoutouts to all my friends who were in VC with me as I cleared this. Thank you!
also hardest celeste level")
