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 weren't many better candidates. He'd 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 it's 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 isn't all that defines a level's 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 level's 3f timings), as well as being longer. That alone points to the level like a spot below Nullscapes, supported by nickname09's opinion which shares the same sentiment. So yeah, this thing is most definitely our next top 10, Axinity's 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. I've been hyped for a long time and it's cool to get my hands on a copy, thanks declan for the opportunity, and goodluck to Axinity if you're seeing this!

![[Top 15?] - Dignity with Frame Windows Counter
Dignity is a solo upcoming top list demon by San Andreas, inspired partially by Knights of Thnnder. The creator scrapped a lot of parts and this took two years to finish, but it was finally done in August 2025. The level didnt have a verifier until January 2026, when Sevant picked it up stating it was meant to be around Tartarus difficulty. Well, that certainly didnt hold true as the level was buffed pretty immensely and is now around top 10-20 difficulty. Its quite deceiving in difficulty and actually mimicks actual Knights of Thunder, which doesnt have difficult individual clicks, but is high cps, flowy and difficult to sightread.
This level is basically that but on steroids, with decently difficult clicks all the way throughout coupled with the aforementioned high cps. Theres still a couple 3f clicks and other awkward sections, with the last click sometimes being 2f according to Sevant, so yeah thats brutal. Sevant started playing this soon after picking it up, and has been verifying since, now holding best runs of 64% and 43-100%, and even more impressive, 15-95%, done after this video. Overall its not my favorite upcoming level, but it definitely a cool achievement from Sevant, go check him out https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wAxS2PWA2tA

![[Top 15?] - FUKOUNA GIRL with Frame Windows Counter
FUKOUNA GIRL is a (almost) solo extreme demon by a creator you might recognize, Skye. Shes made some awesome impossible levels in the past and now seems to have been doing some passions projects. That notion definitely applies here, as here we have 4 minutes of absolute raw deco and gameplay. The level feels very inspired by Teeth Fortress II, having similar spammy gameplay and deco to it, with hints of Angelicide around too. Its not for everyone, but I definitely dig it personally. As already mentioned, the level is very spammy in nature, so just like Angelicide, the frame window values are much lower than other levels in the estimated difficulty range. The spammy nature of the level alongside the length and kinda jank gameplay at times definitely more than makes up for the lack of high base gp difficulty. The exact difficulty is uncertain but Skye put top 15 on an old showcase, and top 10 in the full showcase description, but well see how it ends up. The verifier is cdjuliet, and she just recently started playing the level, with some runs like 10% already. Check her twitch (https://www.twitch.tv/cdjuliet_) out if youre interested in tuning in, this levels pretty ridiculous.

![[Top 25?] - Dilute with Frame Windows Counter
Dilute is a level by HarriHarava and more, created in 2017 as a typical extreme demon, but not released back then. It was later hyperbuffed into this state, which was added to the ILL in December 2021 at #227, miles ahead of Slaughterhouse. Numerous players held WRs on this level, ranging from 8% up to 19% chronologically: DankDrew, Nordgeez, RushF, Keoz, JaydenvdH. However, as you know, there is another person, Esoteric Hydra. She was on a run in 2023 and 2024, and this level was a part of that crazy run. In June 2024, shed double the WR to 38% and also got 66-100%, followed up by 54% just three days later, meaning she seemingly almost had the level in 2 runs. Well, the fact is that the runs sje posted never included 64-66%, which has a 240 fps frame perfect in it, so her best I guess was almost 3.
This isnt to take away from the impressiveness of her runs however, this level is super cancerous and really just was buffed to be hard, without human playability in mind at all. Those runs were definitely among the hardest achievements done at the time in 2024. Eso slowed down with this level and focused on other extremes afterwards, leaving this to be verified. The difficulty isnt really known well, so Top 25? is just a filler title to mirror Esos Top 5? label from 2 years ago.
also this was inspired by Eso herself cuz she commented on my Extremegeist vid, i basically was reminded to make this lol

![[Upcoming Top 25] - Apollyon with Frame Windows Counter
Apollyon is an upcoming top list demon by murkkat and two others, that was showcased a few months ago. Its probably not the most interesting level deco-wise, as its got a hell theme lmao. Overall its not bad, just not particularly interesting. What IS interesting however, is how the level is. The level is like upper extended list all throughout, but then it kinda goes berserk at the end with the ship, probably the hardest ship in any list demon if verified. Kinda ridiculous imo lol. The verifier is Katzen whos unfortunately died at the last straightfly (4f to enter it btw). https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=URpDXnwh5-U
Go sub to him as hes super underrated!
