Arctic Lights
ID

Creator(s)
ViRuZ and EndLevel; Metalface221 (verifier and publisher)
Created
Arctic Lights is a 2.1 Extreme Demon collaboration level by EndLevel and ViRuZ that was verified and published by Metalface221.[1] It is an extremely difficult remake of Nine Circles. It is the sequel to Hyper Paracosm and also the first level in the 'Weather Trilogy', followed by Aquatic Auroras and Aerial Gleam.
History
The first preview was released on 2 April 2018. ViRuZ created the first half and EndLevel the second half. The level was hack-verified by EndLevel on 28 May 2018 after 12,000 attempts. Since EndLevel admitted to hacking it after being exposed by ToshDeluxe, Metalface221 took on the job and legitimately verified it on 16 February 2019, after 35,393 attempts.
Description
- 0-14%: Arctic Lights begins with a cube section that involves very tight spikes and numerous difficult orb timings.
- 14-20%: After the cube, there is a memory ball segment with lots of fake orbs, invisible blocks and tight orb timings like the first cube.
- 20-25%: After the ball is a tight half-speed ship segment with straight-flying, and then a cube in the transition to the wave segment.
- 25-81%: This is the drop and the main part of the level. It undergoes frequent speed and portal changes, some of which are invisible. Some parts require insane spamming, and the wave requires insane consistency. The majority of the structures have spikes that significantly increase the difficulty.
- 81-89%: At the end of the wave is a short timing cube section and then a ship segment that requires a one-block slow straight-fly.
- 89-100%: At the end of the level is a timing mini-cube section with orbs that the player must hit precisely. At the very end is an easy ship segment, and then the level ends. A Lenny face may be visible as well (if 'Low Detail Mode' is activated, an end-screen logo will replace it instead, created by Hantein).
