'''Caput Mundi''' is a [[Update 2.1|2.1]] Easy Demon mega-collaboration level published by RoyalP, featuring several prominent Italian creators. It is the first level of the [[Gauntlets|Galaxy Gauntlet]].

==Description==
*'''0-4%:''' Caput Mundi begins with a cutscene showing a cube (likely representing the player) falling from the sky. The level then transitions to a Roman-style layout with platforms, orbs, and jump indicators.
*'''4-13%:''' The environment around the player then appears to start burning, but the gameplay is still mostly similar. Then the player goes into a building with torches, candles, and chandeliers. The next section is a quick ship section with gravity portals. The next section shows some knives, but they are mostly the same decoration.
*'''13-18%:''' The next section shows the player going down a flight of stairs, which then transitions into a ball section with a library environment, with gravity portals and orbs.
*'''18-29%:''' The player then turns into a robot with some jumps, then into a mini ball, again with some clicks. Next, the player turns into a cube and goes into a cellar or dungeon. The player changes game-modes into a ball, then a cube again, and then transitions to the next section, which begins with the ship.
*'''29-39%:''' As the ship, the player has to navigate between spikes. It is not a difficult section, as the spikes are moderately spaced. Then, as the cube, the player is now in a mineshaft environment, with orbs and jump indicators. The player then appears to break some boulders blocking them to transition to the next section.
*'''39-56%:''' The player is now a spider, with orb and pad gameplay. Then, as the mini cube and the ball, the player must hit orbs until they fall into a sewer environment with orbs and spikes. A cutscene then shows the player returning to the surface.
*'''56-64%:''' The player is in a forest environment, while the player also rapidly changes game-modes: from the ball, to the cube, to the ship, and back to the cube. There are lots of jumps, which could be tricky at times.
*'''64-74%''' As the cube and ship, the player must jump over spikes, avoid saws, and time jumps. The player seems to be in a castle environment. Then another cutscene plays, showing the player facing off against a Roman knight (probably an Equites gladiator). It is also the level's boss fight.
*'''74-84%:''' As the ship, the player has to hit a red orb, then a toggle orb, then fly up to avoid getting punched, fly up again to avoid getting swung at by a sword and hit another toggle orb to progress further.
*'''84-100%:''' There is another boss fight where the player fights a skeleton with armour. The player has to hit a lot of orbs to progress (mainly toggle orbs). The player finally defeats the skeleton boss and completes the level.
