Surprise! Northern Essence Rated, Updated and a whole bunch more stuff lmao. This level was actually not going to get one until the day of the rate. Literally 2 hours when I pinged my play testers to start checking through the level, I got a DM on Discord saying it got rated. So that was a pleasant surprise. royen wanted to become the first victor but dropped it after reaching 91% and then telling me that the level could use some reworks. So of course, we got to work on actually fixing up the level. Just for all that to almost go to waste when it got rated and hour later. The updates made the level significantly easier in some sections and less chokepoint heavy. So, I am not so sure if this will linger on the Extreme Demon spectrum for long, but it should be okay.

Now, thank you guys so much for getting this project rated, means so much to me, and I'm happy that a lot of the people were able to help Royen with updating some parts of this level. So good luck to you future victors!
