	'''Aeternus''' (formerly known as '''Eternal''') is an unverified [[Update 2.1\|2.1]]/[[Update 2.2\|2.2]] Extreme Demon mega-collaboration level hosted by [[Riot]] and others. It is the third level in a trilogy of hell-themed Top 1 levels hosted by Riot, succeeding [[Tartarus]] and [[Acheron]], and is promoted as likely being Riot's final project. Aeternus's gameplay features extremely tight wave sections and near-impossible ship gaps. In line with its predecessors, it features more 2.1 mechanics, such as the red orb and quadruple-speed portal, and a colour scheme of red, purple and predominantly ~~grey~~.

	Aeternus was designed to be nearly humanly impossible and was thus openly hack-verified and published as an open verification for any player to attempt. According to [[icedcave]] and ryamu, the level is meant to be verified in the far future, similarly to the unnerfed [[Silent clubstep]]. They are currently disallowing any player changes as they will adjust the level's balancing by themselves.<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3IjecL747vs</ref> Whether Aeternus is actually impossible is highly debated, with various top players holding differing opinions on the timeframe in which it could be verified; as of 2026, few top players have attempted the level, with the current record of 23% achieved by the player dewbbs.

	*'''0-12% (''GrenadeofTacos'' + <u>ryamu</u> + <u>Deadlox</u> + <u>Riot</u>):''' Aeternus begins with a difficult cube section similar to its predecessors. The first jump is similar to those of Tartarus and Acheron. The player must then hit a blue orb from the ground to hit a series of orbs until a blue orb spam. The player then speeds up to double speed halfway through the part. The second half of the part now ~~utilises~~ fake sections and orbs to mislead and confuse the player, exacerbated by the level's blackness, making it difficult to ~~visualise~~ where to head.		*'''0-12% (''GrenadeofTacos'' + <u>ryamu</u> + <u>Deadlox</u> + <u>Riot</u>):''' Aeternus begins with a difficult cube section similar to its predecessors.

	*'''12-19% (''endevvor'' + <u>icedcave</u>):''' The drop of the music starts, and the player goes into a brief auto cube sequence before changing into a ship. This ship sequence is brutal due to its claustrophobic, tight gaps and numerous gravity changes. After that, the player enters a series of difficult yet brief game-modes, shifting between a mini-wave consisting of tight slopes lined with thorny hazards and a difficult ship sequence.		*'''12-19% (''endevvor'' + <u>icedcave</u>):''' The drop of the music starts, and the player goes into a brief auto cube sequence before changing into a ship.

Afterwards, the player changes gravity and is launched by the slope downwards for a smoother gameplay transition; the player then must perform one last straight-fly section before entering a brief cube sequence, followed by a challenging wave sequence.

Afterwards, the player goes into a brief mini-cube sequence. The player must enter two gravity portals while clicking the orb on the centre of the portals to avoid hitting the teeth of a small Clubstep monster between the portals.

	*'''91-100% (''Burgadahz'' + <u>icedcave</u>):''' Unlike Tartarus and Acheron, Aeternus's ending ~~utilises~~ a ship sequence instead of the usual wave and ball timings designed to incite the player into extreme nervousness to choke at the last part. This part contains very tight tunnels, demanding careful traversal within the unforgiving gaps of the level. Afterwards, the player must perform one last straight-fly with two fixed hitboxes on the last spikes before the level ends with a 'GG' as the level fades to black, leaving only the 'GG' sign with a faint red colour and a pentagram symbol on top of it.		*'''91-100% (''Burgadahz'' + <u>icedcave</u>):''' Unlike Tartarus and Acheron, Aeternus's ending utilizes a ship sequence instead of the usual wave and ball timings designed to incite the player into extreme nervousness to choke at the last part.
