'''Bloodbath''' is a [[Update 1.9|1.9]]-[[Update 2.1|2.1]] Extreme Demon mega-collaboration level hosted and verified by [[Riot]] on 12 August 2015.<ref name="Verification">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=twTw4fjT0ik</ref> It is a hell-themed level that focuses on tight gameplay with non-cube game-modes. Following its verification, Bloodbath was initially placed at #1 on the Official Extreme and Insane Demon Records List (nowadays known as the [[Demonlist (Pointercrate)|Demonlist]]), and is famous for remaining uncontested in that position for a year until [[Sakupen Hell]] was released, marking the beginning of Bloodbath's descent in perceived difficulty. It is the second instalment of the 'Apocalyptic Trilogy' of hell-themed Extreme Demon levels, succeeding [[Cataclysm]] and preceding [[aftermath]]. A buffed and extended remake, [[Bloodlust]], was verified by [[knobbelboy]] and released in Update 2.1.

One of the game's most popular and recognisable levels, Bloodbath is the most downloaded level of all time, the most liked level not featured in a [[Map Packs|Map Pack]] or [[Gauntlets|Gauntlet]], and the sixth-most liked level of all time. In the 'Geometry Dash 10-Year Anniversary' presentation, the level was voted the second most favourite level of players, behind [[Change of Scene]].<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mWi_zuXBECw</ref>

==History==
===Origin and creation===
Before Bloodbath, Riot was involved in the creation of Silent Akbar (currently known as [[Tartarus]]) along with [[Cyclic]] and Aurorus, which was intended to surpass the difficulty of [[ICE Carbon Diablo X]]. However, it was abandoned due to its impossible difficulty. Subsequently, Riot decided to host another project.

On 2 June 2015, Riot uploaded the first preview of a new level titled 'Bloodbath', featuring difficult ship parts.<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=etS9pdlFU2c</ref> A week later, Riot posted the second preview of Bloodbath, featuring Havok, Giron and [[Ggb0y|Ggb0y's]] parts. Afterwards, [[Michigun]] uploaded a preview of his part in the level.<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3Gcwrt98SsU</ref> On 6 July 2015, Riot uploaded a trailer video of Bloodbath featuring all the creators involved in the project.<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=igktWvgvw0E</ref>

===Verification process===
Riot began making progress toward verifying Bloodbath, achieving 48% on 26 June 2015.<ref name="Sea">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lZCBqIa_Jfk</ref> He then reached 58% on 13 July, 65% on 3 August and then 90% on 6 August.<ref name="Sea" /> Riot then crashed at 94%, during Ggb0y's part, on 8 August 2015, becoming his worst fail in the level.<ref>https://www.twitch.tv/videos/10193650</ref> On 12 August 2015, Riot verified Bloodbath after 25,000+ attempts and numerous practice attempts on stream.<ref name="Verification" /> The level would immediately be placed at #1 on the Geometry Dash forums Demonlist after its verification.

===The race to beat Bloodbath===
Since Bloodbath's verification and placement as the new hardest Demon, numerous skilled players have attempted to beat the level. [[Smokes]] and [[Sandstorm]] made the first progress; Smokes reached 25% a few days after the level was released,<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i_0QpmlIUks</ref> and then 27% and 34%.<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EO3bCqTmr4U</ref><ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EzOzXazZQl4</ref> Afterwards, Smokes would temporarily pause his progress; at the same time, Sandstorm began practising the level, making progress on the first half and then on the second half before dropping the level.<ref name="Lfritz">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9-uYjCCFcos</ref>

Mabby01, a skilled player at that time, made significant progress on Bloodbath, reaching 61% on 16 January 2016 before beating Cataclysm a day later.<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-qhJKgFmfQY&</ref> She would get 66% on 5 February and 71% on 14 February.<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=smPbFI7WaF4</ref><ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1BAHgLOhjRk</ref> Like the other two, Mabby also dropped the level.

The most notable race was between two skilled players: [[Surv]] and [[Quasar]]. On 8 February 2016, Quasar released his first progress video, showing progress of 42-79%.<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=44uJzlVgy6w</ref> A week later, on 16 February 2016, he made further progress, completing the second half of Bloodbath.<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IwgmDLSGl3k</ref> Quasar made his first substantial progress on the level, reaching 39% ten days later and halfway through the level a day after.<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JIuM28RoOCM</ref><ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V992AjtV610</ref> Quasar would immediately catch a flu after his 61% progress, thus taking a break from his progress.<ref name="Lfritz" /><ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2lQ5ZjVNbW4</ref>

Surv started making progress on Bloodbath after beating Cataclysm. He would eventually crash at 96% on 6 March 2016, making it his worst fail in the game and the closest he had come to beating the level.<ref name="Lfritz" /> After recovering, Quasar started to make more progress, reaching 77% on 9 March 2016.<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fXHRws8BpqM</ref> Finally, on 14 March 2016, seven months after the level's release, Quasar became the first victor of Bloodbath after a fail at 90% and over 28,000+ attempts.<ref name="Quasar">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MlvdGvFCmr8</ref>

===Legacy===
Bloodbath remains one of the most popular Extreme Demon levels in Geometry Dash, if not the most popular. It is currently the most downloaded and liked Extreme Demon in-game. The level remained unbeaten for seven months until Quasar beat it on 14 March 2016.<ref name="Quasar" />

The verification of Bloodbath and its subsequent lengthy tenure as the hardest level established the community standard of scrutinising the verification of difficult levels. While two other levels, Theory of Darkness and unnerfed [[Phobos]], temporarily managed to dethrone Bloodbath, both levels were ultimately unrated due to their hacked verifications.<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gzAdJBAaQqY?t=1773</ref>

Bloodbath was also the first Top 1 Demon level to remain in the top spot for over a year, officially dethroned by Sakupen Hell on 14 August 2016.<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=svyOjwLCErg</ref> With the placement of SINGULARITY on the Demonlist, Bloodbath fell out of the Top 50 hardest Demons. It had remained in the Top 50 for nearly 40 months, longer than any other Extreme Demon besides [[Sonic Wave]] at the time. The record is now held by [[Zodiac]], which remained in the Top 50 for over five years until Terminal Rampancy's movement from #52 to #44 on 30 June 2024.

Bloodbath's success led to a remake; [[Manix648]] and several other creators created a redecorated extended version named Bloodlust, which Quasar was initially set to verify. The verification was ultimately handed to knobbelboy due to the former's disappearance. knobbelboy verified Bloodlust in 121,296 attempts after failing at 97% and 98%. Like Bloodbath, the level was also placed #1 on the Demonlist. It remained at that spot for over a year until Zodiac dethroned it.

==Description==
Bloodbath depicts a red-and-black 'hell' theme, featuring critical speed changes, tight spaces, and precise timing, culminating in a relentless series of complex gameplay sequences. Those sequences feature many legacy segments.

*'''0-10% ([[weoweoteo]]):''' Bloodbath begins with a ship sequence continuing from Cataclysm, transitioning into a red-and-black colour scheme with a face resembling his icon above. The sequence progresses through a half-speed portal, a double-speed cube and a triple-speed ship with flashing colours, gravity changes and a tight 1.5-block flying space, followed by a triple-speed mini-ball synced to the beat.
*'''10-25% (Vermillion):''' Next is a triple-speed ship sequence with frequent gravity changes, ending with a ramp leading to his signature. A half-speed ball sequence follows, requiring precise jumps synced to the song's notes, with platforms featuring red bricks, black blocks and extra spikes. A mirrored sequence flips the screen mid-gameplay, leading into a crescendo of gravity portals.
*'''25-33% (Michigun):''' This part is in dark red and slows the pace and shifts to a grey colour scheme, featuring a normal-speed cube sequence with triple spikes, gravity changes and a background of flickering torches, chains and thorns. A one-block-wide ship sequence, a narrow ball sequence with alternating gravity, a tight UFO sequence and another triple-spike cube sequence lead into a concluding narrow wave sequence with flashing red 'MICHIGUN' text.
*'''33-42% (Evasium):''' Next is a brief dual-cube sequence before transitioning into a half-speed ship sequence with wave-like movements through spiked obstacles. The ship turns mini midway as the background flashes to reveal additional details, leading into a mini-wave sequence where the correct path becomes visible through background flashes. A normal wave sequence with tight spaces follows, leading into a fast-paced UFO sequence with rapid gravity changes, pink orbs and a mini-UFO spam sequence that builds momentum as the music accelerates.
*'''42-54% (Crack):''' The music now shifts the key to D minor, and the level transitions into a blood-red background. This part features a chaotic triple-speed mini-ship sequence requiring extreme precision. A brief normal-speed sequence introduces a gravity change before returning to triple-speed straight-flying through Clubstep-like monsters with narrow flight paths. A half-speed cube sequence with challenging timings provides a short respite before accelerating into another high-speed sequence, culminating in 'Crack' text appearing before the transition.
*'''54-71% (ASonicMen):''' This part features a triple-speed mini-UFO sequence with tight manoeuvres through small gaps, rapid size and gravity changes, and a background of flashing clouds and pulsing circles. A brief half-speed moment interrupts the intensity before resuming triple speed, leading into a memory-based mini-ball sequence and a rapid spam sequence with nine blue orbs. The 'ASONIC' text appears before entering an auto cube transition sequence, followed by another brief speed change.
*'''71-80% ([[Etzer]]):''' Next is a triple-speed normal-sized UFO sequence with a more artistic, glow-heavy style, leading to a landing on his name that triggers gravity portals and orbs. A normal-speed ship sequence follows, requiring navigation through a deceptive gravity portal and a two-block-wide path before a brief triple-speed UFO sequence transitions into an awkward low-flying ship sequence inside a darkened tunnel, known for a meme about failing at 79%.
*'''80-88% (Havok):''' This part features a ball sequence similar to Vermillion's part, featuring orbs placed inside and outside blocks, along with tricky timing and invisible platforms. A mini-portal and half-speed transition increase the difficulty before the gameplay speeds up again, leading into a triple-speed sequence where 'HAVOK' appears in the background. A fast-paced UFO sequence with rapid gravity changes and sawblade obstacles follows, with arrows guiding the player to the correct path. The part concludes with a half-speed wave sequence that requires precise straight-wave control through a narrow path.
*'''88-93% (Giron):''' This part has Giron's signature 'G' appearing before transitioning to a triple-speed upside-down ship sequence with orbs dictating movement and tight 1.5-block flying spaces. A long, normal-sized straight-fly tests consistency before transitioning into a half-speed dual-cube sequence requiring precise jumps and orb activations, concluding with a brief non-dual auto sequence leading into the final stretch.
*'''93-98% (Ggb0y):''' This part features a half-speed ball sequence similar to Cataclysm, with red block platforms, chains and the words 'your blood' fading into view. A precisely timed blue orb leads into a brief UFO sequence, followed by a short upside-down straight-fly that poses a high risk of late-game failure. The final ball sequence contains numerous fake blocks, with 'GBOY' appearing at the top of the screen as the part concludes.
*'''98-100% (Riot):''' The final part of the level features a normal-speed semi-auto cube sequence that ends the level, displaying 'GG' above the cube and 'RIOT' below. A final set of triple spikes must be cleared to avoid a heartbreaking fail at 98% or 99%, while an alternate route allows for a precise jump at the end of Ggb0y's part, revealing Michigun's name as an Easter egg. The level concludes with a floating heart decoration above the final jump.

==Trivia==
===General===
*Even though Bloodbath is 1 minute and 52 seconds long, in Update 1.9, it is XL when the duration is measured with the grid length of the level. It is now fixed, and the server now showcases it as Long.
*Bloodbath was ranked #4 in Geometry Dash Today's list of 'The Top 100 Greatest Geometry Dash Levels Of All Time'.
*There is a level called AfterCataBath, initially created by Zimnyte, combining Cataclysm, Bloodbath and aftermath into a single level. A buffed remake of AfterCataBath, titled [[Apocalyptic Trilogy]], is a super-buffed, redecorated version.
*Riot originally stated that he would re-beat Bloodbath for his 400th Demon. However, this idea was later dismissed as he completed Spacelocked instead.<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QA_tbh0PUsY</ref>
*Bloodbath, [[Quantum Processing]] and [[Red World Rebirth]] are Riot's only rated levels.
*There is an Easter egg at the end of Bloodbath at Ggb0y's part, where the player can position themselves to land on top of the 'GG' in Riot's part. If they succeed, the word 'Michigun' will appear.
*[[Sunix]] uploaded a buffed version of Bloodbath named Deambath. It includes a few extra spikes, and the ball parts in ASonicMen's and Vermillion's parts feature different gameplay.
**Deam was Sunix's old username.
**Similarly, he verified and uploaded 'Invisibath', which is essentially Bloodbath, except that everything is set to 10% opacity.
*Bloodbath has spawned many remakes. For some reason, nearly all of them still have the creators' names.
**Primarily, all the remakes are nerfed, except for Deambath and Bloodlust, which are buffed. Invisibath retains the original difficulty, however.
**All of Sunix's other remakes are unnerfed. These include Bloodbath in different shades of colour and an unnerfed 'Sh**ty' Bloodbath. He also planned to host a mega-collaboration for an actual unnerfed Bloodbath remake.
*In early November 2016, Bloodbath was hacked by a player named xX0T1Xx, also known as Anaban. He set a start position at the end (~80%) and included text explaining that he was leaving Geometry Dash. Since it was a start position, beating it did not reward the player with stars.<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZH_XNFaTXzk</ref> Luckily, this has been fixed.
**Interestingly, nearly a decade after hacking Bloodbath, xX0T1Xx managed to beat Bloodbath on 21 September 2026.<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yQ6_i_cGbJo</ref>
*Riot has worked on a heavily buffed version of Bloodbath called Buffbath. Many of the ship gaps are notably much tighter than before. He originally intended this to be an update to Bloodbath, but after receiving criticism, he decided to make Buffbath a separate level with a secret way. The level is called 'blood bathtub hard v' and is on Riot's account under the ID 31288058.<ref>https://gdbrowser.com/31288058</ref>
**AGSEcho verified Buffbath on 2 August 2024.<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gM-OF3NoJIs</ref>
**There is a redecorated version of Buffbath named Riots Demise.
*Bloodbath was made the Weekly Demon on 1 April 2019. It was done as an April Fools' joke.
*Bloodbath is #62 on the ''[https://gdlrrlist.com/index.html Low Refresh Rate]'' Demonlist, above Dark Flare and below Carnage Mode.
**It is also #40 on the ''[https://gdmobilelist.com/#/ Mobile]'' Demonlist, above Celestial Force and below Ethereal Artifice.
*Riot re-beat and updated Bloodbath in [[Update 2.1|Update 2.11]] to fix a 240Hz bug at 34% that would cause the player to crash into a spike when they hit the pink pads.
*It is possible to crash into the invisible blocks at 87%, [[npesta]] being the most notable player to die there.
*Bloodbath is the most-downloaded level, with over 150 million downloads and is the sixth-most liked level overall, with 5.3 million likes as of 10 April 2026.
**Bloodbath became the most downloaded Demon level in the game on 1 March 2026, surpassing [[The Nightmare]].
***Bloodbath became the most downloaded level in the entire game on 10 April 2026, surpassing [[OuterSpace]].
*Famous and viral streamer [[Wikipedia:IShowSpeed|IShowSpeed]] played through an auto version of Bloodbath.
**Many of IShowSpeed's fans think Speed found a 'glitch' in Bloodbath, so they later made a video clip of Speed 'finding a glitch' to beat Bloodbath, roleplaying that Bloodbath's glitch was discovered, although it was proven to be a myth.
*In the level The Devourer, if the player misses a pink orb at 7%, it brings them to weoweoteo's part in Bloodbath.
*When Riot passes through the first dual part in the verification video, his saying 'swag' can be heard when entering Evasium's part. Many have misheard it as 'quack'. Over time, it has become a common tradition to say either 'quack' or 'swag' during that segment while playing the level.
*A remake of Bloodbath, Legacy, was built by CairoX that includes an unofficial extension.
*The song used for Bloodbath was temporarily removed due to Dimrain47's Newgrounds account being hacked. Because of this, songs, including 'At The Speed of Light', 'Duality' and 'The Disturbance', were removed from Newgrounds. Although downloading this song is no longer possible in Geometry Dash, it will still work and play if downloaded beforehand. The song was restored on Newgrounds between 23 and 24 October 2021.
*The name of the achievement for clearing 300 Demon levels in Normal Mode is called 'What a bloodbath'.

===Demonlist===
*Upon the creation of the modern Demonlist on Pointercrate on 4 January 2017, Bloodbath was placed at #3, above [[Infernal Abyss]] and below Sakupen Hell.
*Bloodbath is regarded as the 21st instance of the hardest rated level in the game's history.
**Bloodbath is one of the levels to stand the longest on the list before getting pushed into the Legacy List, sitting at 1,997 days.
***Bloodlust has since surpassed this length, as it has stood for over 2,600 days before being pushed to the Legacy List.
**This placement makes Bloodbath the final level in the classic 'Apocalyptic Trilogy' (or the Hell Trilogy) to be pushed into the Legacy List.
**This placement makes Bloodbath the last level released in Update 1.9 to be pushed into the Legacy List.
**The same day Bloodbath fell into the Legacy List, the Demonlist website and the Geometry Dash servers coincidentally crashed.
*Bloodbath took Riot over 25,000 attempts to verify. Michigun and RobTop himself encouraged Riot to keep trying.
*People argued for a while that Sakupen Hell was harder than Bloodbath. Most people believe that Sakupen Hell is harder because of its difficult timings. However, some believe Bloodbath is harder due to its length being more than twice that of Sakupen Hell and its consistent difficulty. [[Sea]] said in his Sakupen Hell documentary that Sakupen Hell is harder because of the gameplay's 'sheer nature'. Sakupen Hell was later moved above Bloodbath on the Demonlist.
*Some players were revealed to have beaten Bloodbath illegitimately.
**ThePrimeEvil had claimed to beat Bloodbath but was later exposed for using hacks.
**TheRealSneaky claimed to beat Bloodbath on 75Hz but later admitted to hacking it.
**TacoMacho hacked Bloodbath four times but was exposed by nikrodox for accidentally streaming and speed-hacking.
**Aurorus hacked Bloodbath, but it was considered legitimate for a long time. Eventually, some allegations suggest that all his records were hacked, and now, he is listed among the community's hackers.
*On 2 July 2020, Bloodbath lost its distinction of being the level that remained the longest in the Top 50 on the Demonlist (having remained for 1,315 days) to Sonic Wave.
*Bloodbath was once the level that took the longest time to have any victors, taking seven months before Quasar became its first victor. It was surpassed by [[Avernus]] on 6 January 2024, which took nine months to be beaten by its first victor.
**Based After Based is the level that took the longest time after its verification to receive a victor, taking over 560 days.
*Bloodbath is the level with the highest number of completions while it was on the Demonlist, standing at 1,294 victors.
