Allegiance is a 2.0 Extreme Demon level by nikrodox, initially verified by Rewayde (formerly Rlol) and later re-verified by EndLevel. The level is the second instalment of the Dedication Series, the sequel to Dedication and the prequel of Renevant. The level features straight-flying, tight-wave parts, and fast transitions. Some decorations obscure the player's view of the level (mostly seen in the segments following the drop in the song), especially in the unnerfed version. EndLevel became the first person to complete the level legitimately after over 18,000 attempts.

History

Allegiance is the second instalment in the Dedication Series. Created as a sequel to Dedication, a Harder 7* level also created by nikrodox, Allegiance was uploaded on 14 June 2016. However, it was not rated for many months after its verification. It was placed at #15 on the original Demon List on 12 November 2016. Allegiance was originally verified by Rewayde; however, upon its rate, nikrodox updated the level to use a version of the song without vocals, so EndLevel verified an update that used the original song. The level was originally much harder, with much more obstructing decoration and significantly harder wave and UFO parts. However, the level was considered too difficult at the time, leading to many nerfs that brought it to its current state. The unnerfed version can still be found on nikrodox's account, forgotten by a large portion of the community. Laniakea, a South Korean top player, became its first victor on 8 April 2023, and stated that the level could be considered Extended List-worthy at the time of completion.

Description

• 0-30%: Allegiance begins with a cube section with 'NP' for 'NikroPlays' written in the background, a Low Detail Mode key, and dedications to some players. The player is then taken up a slope and launched right into the level. This part is filled with rainbow decorations and multiple crosses pulsing in the background, with 'Nikro' written at the beginning. A pad with a double-speed portal will take the player to a hard cube section, where it is required to perfectly time the orbs to get through. The player then enters a short robot segment before entering a mini-cube section. The first coin can be collected by hitting the last blue orb a little late. This orb will send the player upwards to the next section. Next comes a ship segment with numerous black lines appearing in front of the player and blocking their view. There are also some teleportation portals with gravity switching when exiting the teleportation portals to throw the player off. At the end of this ship segment, the player enters an auto-ball section as a transition into the next chunk of gameplay.
• 30-47%: A dark ball section is next, containing a lot of timing and an active, colour-changing background. When this ball ends, the player is taken into a remarkably narrow wave at half-speed with lots of gravity portals and gears to avoid. The second coin can be collected here by taking a slightly harder route with a mini-portal to mess with the player. A text saying 'READY?' appears, and the player enters a UFO portal right before the drop kicks in.
• 47-78%: The drop segment starts with a dark triple-speed UFO with a cluster of gravity and mini-portals, making it very hard to follow what is going on. The player later transforms into a ship with more orbs and straight-flying than portals and then back into a UFO again, right before a hard mini-robot is used as a transition. The second half of the drop starts as a fast, tight wave with size and gravity portals, making it extremely difficult to pass. Then, the player enters a robot segment with streams of orbs where they are required to hit a certain orb to get through, similar to the first gameplay section of the level. Then, a section with three fast game-mode changes appears before a short cube segment, followed by a straight-fly into the next part.
• 78-100%: A half-speed cube segment comes next with many orbs and effects in the background reminiscent of a ray and many stars. Then, the player enters a cube/ship dual for a moment before going back into a cube. Next, the player enters a swing-copter section with numerous moving objects and effects, before the screen goes black for a second, after which the player enters a mini-ship segment with some hard straight-flying and orb timings. The last section of the level is a very tight 'corridor' starting with a tight wave segment, then a straight-fly ship segment, and finally a cube housing the last coin to be obtained via an invisible yellow orb. The level ends with one last triple spike and text saying 'GG' right above it before the player reaches the end, with the creator's name appearing along with 'Verified by EndLevel'.

User coins

• The first coin is located at 15% in the first cube section. The player must hit the blue orb instead of the green orb to obtain it.
• The second coin is located at 45% in the wave segment. To collect it, the player must fly through a narrow space as a wave, go through a mini-portal midway, and exit as a normal-sized wave.
• The third and final coin is located at 98%. To collect it, the player needs to click on the invisible yellow orb right after going through the cube portal.

Trivia

• Upon the creation of the modern Demonlist of Pointercrate on 4 January 2017, Allegiance was placed at #14 on 4 January 2017, above aftermath and below Artificial Ideology.
• Allegiance is the sequel to nikrodox's other level, Dedication, which is one of the hardest Harder levels, with its actual difficulty being equivalent to an Easy Demon.
  • They both use songs by The Living Tombstone and have similar decorations in some parts.
• nikrodox has released a sequel to Allegiance called Renevant. nikrodox had finished the level with rori as the official verifier. Aquiver was the previous verifier (after EndLevel had the level for a little while).
  • Aquiver has gotten many good runs, including 20-100% and 66% off recording, as well as 20-77% and 55-100% on stream. He later dropped Allegiance and gave it to Wooshi, who also dropped it and gave it to rori, who finally verified it.
    • Unfortunately for Aquiver, he also managed to beat Allegiance off-stream, but as there was no proof, the level could not be considered legitimately verified.
  • There is a sequel to Renevant called Anathema, the final instalment of the Dedication Series.
• EndLevel was the first victor after Rewayde verified it.
  • EndLevel also stated that the level is on par with The Hell Factory in difficulty.
• The original unnerfed version is considered harder than Yatagarasu, according to EndLevel.
• MagYTU was attempting to beat the unnerfed version, with a current record of 55%.
• EndLevel made a super-buffed rendition of the unnerfed version, featuring an extension by nikrodox. This version is considered practically impossible.
• The song for Allegiance is the vocal version of 'I Got No Time' by The Living Tombstone, a fan-made song for the fourth instalment in the Five Nights at Freddy's series of horror video games. It was temporarily changed to the instrumental version before EndLevel re-verified it to restore the original song.
• Surv managed to beat Allegiance quickly, with about 1,400 attempts. Sunix later completed it with just 1,000 attempts.
• The placement of Extinction on 15 April 2019 pushed Allegiance into the Legacy List of the Demonlist for the first time.
  • However, after the Demonlist extension from 100 to 150 spots, Allegiance was back on the Extended List.
    • The placement of Ithacropolis on 15 September 2019 pushed Allegiance into the Legacy List for the second time.
