Chromatic Core is an old impossible level by OddMod, created in early 2020 months before Ashley Wave Trials was first fully showcased. The level was considered harder than the top 1 at the time, The Golden (but not Tartarus I think?) and therefore was barely eligible to be placed. As far as I could see, there weren't many WRs before the verification, though I did see HSW do a run of 72-100% in early February 2025, the hardest part. A few like CookieCBT and Jasmine got 73 and 74% on the level around a month ago, until the player Mastexlixx verified the level in around 5k attempts. Or did they verify it? It turns out the level has been verified for around four months now, by the player ninjabeary. Unfortunately ninja's editor has been a little slow with the editing and nothing has been shown to the public. I'm inclined to believe it though, since both the editor and ninja commented on the first victor's "verification" video. This level is as expected, really poorly balanced. The beginning cube has a couple hard timings, and then you have the end wave, which is absolutely insane of a part to have at the end of a level. We don't really have much of a difficulty estimate other than it's probably harder than The Golden, so yeah we don't have much to go off.

![[Top 1?] - Grok Processing with Frame Windows Counter](https://i.ytimg.com/vi/dFj6P_ZwBYM/mqdefault.jpg "[Top 1?] - Grok Processing with Frame Windows Counter
Grok Processing, aka Groik Pracssing is a new release from the talented creator HeroZombie80- er I mean talented AI Grok. I remember seeing this level being previewed on HZ80s Twitter many times throughout the year, and boy did this turn out insane. I imagine this is some sort of amalgamation of all the things that get posted to twitter, your average internet meme, along with more general GD stuff, and of course Blast Processing. To say this level is insane is an understatement. It has over 400k objects, and the gameplay is composed of the most convoluted routes imaginable, only Maze of Justice from my experience has worse memory gimmicks. This level is truly a never let them know your next move moment. The gameplay is so convoluted, its impressive.
It was a fun bot overall though, around an hour and 30 minutes (though it wouldve been much faster if I wasnt counting frame windows with it). Just as its terrible to bot, it is even more terrible to play, theres awkward timings everywhere, many of them being tight too. 240s are randomly scattered throughout and makes the level very inconsistent. This is definitely top 1 difficulty, but its hard to give a specific. Goodluck to anyone who might go for some runs, its definitely the Blast Processing remake of all time, the deco is pretty nice if you look past all that bullshittery going on.

Incommodiousness is certainly a level of all time. Its a part of the Exasperation series by Thycket, being the 4th and I believe final official part of the series so far, released pretty recently in 2022. It is also coincidentally the most insane, and most difficult of the series. The level features some extremely awkward gameplay and very difficult timings. Thycket really went all out with this one. I do want to mention specifically the spider dual thingy at 40%. It is the biggest chokepoint by far, and Id be surprised if anyone could even do the part by itself, let alone from 0. It features many precise and controllled double and even triple clicks, which did not really let me count it accurately. It is much harder than the counter implies. The WR is only around 2%. Also there may be a special event happening with this level soon. This level is insane, and I do plan on trying to the other two in the series that havent been done yet.

![[Top 40?] - Buffbath with Frame Windows Counter](https://i.ytimg.com/vi/eVZqJLj3ebE/mqdefault.jpg "[Top 40?] - Buffbath with Frame Windows Counter
Buffbath, also known as Blood bathtub hard v, is an infamous superbuff of the iconic level Bloodbath. Riot created this version with the intention of someday updating the original to this version. Obviously this was way too hard when conceived in 2017, and still potentially top 1 as late as early 2022. The level was just largely perceived a joke, but a remake was created in late 2021 that died out (thankfully, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kwGjzsRB1zY), and then the other remake by Relayne... Riots Demise. I rememeber that level specifically for it being the laughing stock of upcoming levels. Eandis had achieved huge WRs like 52% and 51-100% on the level, which was pretty insane. The first notable WRs on this version I found were by PersonHuman42, 39% and 80-100% in early 2022. The next WRs were by the eventual verifier, AGSEcho, a rising 120hz player whod just beaten SWI. Hed start hard grinding this in late 2023, claiming the WR with 74% and 24-98%. After a small break, hed come back 2 months later with 97% and then after another 3 month period, hed finally verify it in August of 2024 after months of playing this level, but a surprisingly low attempt count of ~20k. This is largely due to the fact that most deaths to this level are to the cube parts in Michis part, as well as Cracks part which makes each attempt last forever. The cube timings are absolutely ridiculous here. I know Agse said the two 1fs marked here are 2fs, but I tested a lot, and the last jump was always a 1f, and one of either jump at 32-33% were 1f or 2f, it alternates. This level is really just monstrous, but Agse proved that this level really is possible. Obviously this wont update the actual Bloodbath, itd be one of the most controversial things ever. Still really cool to see it have been verified by Agse. The placement given was 6-10, which was Kyouki to KOCMOC in difficulty, so this could potentially still be top 25 or so to this day, but I kinda doubt that.

![[Upcoming Top 10 CL] - Malign with Frame Windows Counter](https://i.ytimg.com/vi/efCYuq6yPeg/mqdefault.jpg "[Upcoming Top 10 CL] - Malign with Frame Windows Counter
Malign is an upcoming top 10 challenge, created solo by zXdasfsa, who is also the verifier for it. Its a remake of the level Sadism by Irisu, a former top 25 challenge when it was verified in late 2022. zX showed the level a few weeks ago and posted some runs, after which it was buffed quite a bit to where its now estimated to be top 10. zXs best runs are 39%, 27-61%, and 52-85% (dead at the last orb click which was a 7f timing 🥀). The ending is noticeably harder than the rest of the level, which is just made of 2f timings, even a 1f there (likely alignment based but still). Goodluck to zX on this verification, which likely will be one of his last in the game.

![[Impossible] - Brain Atrophy with Frame Windows Counter](https://i.ytimg.com/vi/ekYzR6le5Xk/mqdefault.jpg "[Impossible] - Brain Atrophy with Frame Windows Counter
Brain Atrophy is an old nine circles impossible level by the creator RezerdPrime. It was a remake and hyperbuff of an older level the creator made, called Dead Circles. It was added very high up on the ILL back in early 2021, and really there hasnt been much else happening since. Theres been a couple WRs going from 12% in 2022, to 19% in 2023, to 22% in 2024, and 28% just 2 months ago by Tost https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e7820X4lx4Q
Though people can definitely get to the drop, and into some of the wave parts, I doubt anyone ever will, as the drop has some very awkward and tight small-click corridors, which are genuinely pretty absurd. This level is unfortunately not super interesting deco wise, but the pre and postdrop are kinda cool. The level is also very short, but thats probably because of the incompleted song by NK.

![[Top 10?] - ANTARCTIC LIGHTS with Frame Windows Counter](https://i.ytimg.com/vi/gAxDXUB6hxc/mqdefault.jpg "[Top 10?] - ANTARCTIC LIGHTS with Frame Windows Counter
Ah Antarctic Lights my beloved, the hardest upcoming nine circles level by the goat, declan. Original layout was made in 2020 by Skyjax, with declan decorating the level by himself, full showcase at the end of 2023. Our favorite Dane was the chosen verifier, Axinity. An Acheron victor, and verifier of Arctic Twice (AL 2x in a row), there werent many better candidates. Hed buff the level quite a lot and begun grinding it on and off throughout the past 2.5 years, racking up a total of 400k+ attempts on the level. His first progress was 49-100% in early 2024, with subsequent bests of 39-100%, 51, 63, 70, 25-100%, 73, 78, 90, and just hours before I made this video, 92%, dying to the 3f ship gap.
Axinity appears to have some wild verifier bias, saying its around Acheron difficulty, meanwhile playtesters say it is easily top 10 difficulty even with Society and Green Bullet rated. The frame window data is surprisingly nearly identical to Ultra Paracosm, which according to youngs6 as of today is likely harder than Every End. However as you hopefully know, frame window data isnt all that defines a levels difficulty.
Antarctic has some things that give it the upper hand, which include: much higher average CPS, awkward click patterns, more spread out difficulty (including a predrop with half the levels 3f timings), as well as being longer. That alone points to the level like a spot below Nullscapes, supported by nickname09s opinion which shares the same sentiment. So yeah, this thing is most definitely our next top 10, Axinitys consistent asf and I do expect this to be out by the next weekend. Definitely one of my favorite upcoming levels, decoration that fits an Arctic Lights remake just perfectly. Ive been hyped for a long time and its cool to get my hands on a copy, thanks declan for the opportunity, and goodluck to Axinity if youre seeing this!
