Template:Epilepsy Warning Template:Infobox Level Arctic Lights is a 2.1 Extreme Demon collaboration level created by EndLevel and ViRuZ and 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

Template:Outdated/Section The first preview was released on 2 April 2018.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 getting exposed by ToshDeluxe, Metalface221 took the job and legitimately verified it on 16 February 2019 after 35,393 attempts.

Gameplay

  • 0-14%: The level starts 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 has frequent speed and portal changes, some being invisible. Some parts require insane spamming, and the wave requires insane consistency. The majority of the structures have spikes on them that considerably add to 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 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.[Notes 1]

Notable completions

  • Two players made jumps on the level; CavEmaN_mELvIN jumped 25 spots on the Demonlist from Devil Vortex in 12,700 attempts on 11 October 2020;[2] however, as for Axinity, an extremely skilled Danish player jumped 119 spots on the Demonlist from Blade of Justice to Arctic Lights in just 36,347 attempts on 28 November 2020.[3]
    • After his completion, Axinity started his Demonlist career in Geometry Dash. His current hardest is Acheron, which is also the hardest level beaten in Denmark.
  • DashY became the first to beat Arctic Lights on mobile on 28 September 2021, though it was beaten on 120hz.[4]
    • Because of this, Arctic Lights became the #1 on the High Refresh Rate Mobile Demonlist.

Trivia

General

  • This is the sequel to Hyper Paracosm. The two levels look fairly similar, as they are both made by ViRuZ, although EndLevel made part of Arctic Lights and TheRealSneaky made part of Hyper Paracosm. However, Hyper Paracosm is dark purple, and Arctic Lights is pale blue.
  • This was originally harder, but EndLevel nerfed it down to Death Corridor Finale's difficulty.
  • EndLevel has announced a sequel to this level called Azure Flare, also a collaboration with ViRuZ. It was verified by Axinity on 25 July 2021.[5]
    • The level has been heavily-buffed and decorated, and after being verified and rated it may place in the Top 5 of the Demonlist.
      • Azure Flare was set to be verified by Aeden, but after getting 46% on 14 February 2023, he hasn't reached further into the level.[6]
        • Vertop has achieved 45%, 44-90% and 58-100%, but he hasn't played the level since.[7]
  • The level's end-screen can only be seen with Low Detail Mode activated. Turning off LDM will show a Lenny face at the end instead.
  • Unlike most Nine Circles levels, Arctic Lights does not have the typical singular flash pattern in the wave. Instead, it has intensely synced flashes with alternating flashes at transition parts in the song.
  • The song is actually just an old, unfinished track from Rukkus.
  • This was the hardest-rated Nine Circles level until Sonic Wave Infinity was verified by Xanii on 30 May 2021 and rated the same day.[8]
    • The description of the level is now outdated.
  • Arctic Lights is a part of the Frostbite Trilogy, along with Cold Sweat and Frozen Cave.
  • There is a remake of this level called Arctic Paradox, created by GdSkulll and verified by Yossarian.[9]

Demonlist

  • The level was initially placed at #6 on the Demonlist on 4 July 2019, above Visible Ray and below Lucid Nightmares.
    • This addition pushed Sonic Wave out of the Top 10, Esencia into the Extended List and NecroDynamix into the Legacy List.
  • Arctic Lights is #20 on the High Refresh Rate Demonlist, above Congregation and below Ourwa.
  • Zephal released a copy of unnerfed Arctic Lights from EndLevel and would give a shoutout to the first person to beat it legitimately.
  • According to Wooshi, the level is, at best, only marginally harder than Bloodlust.
  • This was formerly Metalface221's hardest level beaten, but for unknown reasons, the level's verification video is unlisted.
    • Some people believe it was unlisted because Metalface221 did not want to become a meme due to his reaction when beating the level, like npesta did when he verified Kenos.
  • This level was in EricVanWilderman's 12 Demons of Christmas 2022 Community series as Demon #11 with AeonAir as its contender.[10]
  • Arctic Lights was moved to #1 on the Demonlist on 27 May 2022 above Slaughterhouse as a joke.
  • The placement of Widestep on 25 May 2023 pushed Arctic Lights into the Extended List of the Demonlist.
    • The placement of Awedsy on 13 September 2023 pushed Arctic Lights out of the Top 100 of the Demnonlist.
      • The placement of Viprin UFO on 18 August 2024 pushed Arctic Lights into the Legacy List of the Demonlist.
