Cimmerian Shade is a 2.1/2.2 Extreme Demon collaboration level by SrGuillester and more, verified and published by spcreat on 12 August 2023.[1] Known for its precise sync in music and fast transitions, SrGuillester built the gameplay while AzuLer decorated the level.
It is the second level that AzuLer and SrGuillester have collaborated on, after the Extreme Demon Hatred, which was built in Update 2.0; however, SrGuillester only verified Hatred and did not build any part of it.[2] Cimmerian Shade is also not a sequel to that level since another level called Deathwish is the sequel to Hatred, according to AzuLer.
Description
[edit | edit source]- 0-18%: Cimmerian Shade begins with a cube section consisting of numerous triple-spike jumps that are a few pixels wider than a normal one, which, in turn, requires more precise timing. Next, the player enters a mini-cube segment with precise timings synchronized to the music.
- 18-31%: The player slows down and enters a quadruple speed mini-spider section, which has timings synced with the song; however, some beats require the player to spam twice really fast or perform double clicks to go down and up instantly. Afterwards, the player transitions into a normal spider segment with syncing beats and a UFO segment with slight timings. It transitions to a ship sequence in which the player must fly through a tight passage with invisible spikes above and below. It will change gravity in the middle at the same time as a set of two yellow orbs that the player must avoid appears, after the second yellow orb, the player will change back to normal gravity and must then time three green orb clicks.
- 31-61%: The level slows down with the music and turns into a quadruple speed dual wave section. This wave section requires remarkably fast reflexes and skills to move the wave, as one wave goes over big ramps while the other has to go through spikes through non-collision blocks. Next, the player enters a slightly straight wave segment for a few seconds. The player slows down during a break sequence. It goes into a cube with a sextuple-spike jump, then into a slow build-up, with dash orb timings corresponding to the beat of the music.
- 61-81%: The level follows up into a triple-speed swing copter section with straight-flying at the start and narrow spaces requiring the player to click fast to go up and down. The player then enters a cube section with some spamming and timings before entering the last build-up. The player then undergoes a slow speed change as the build-up continues, with wide double spikes that require precise timing.
- 81-100%: Finally, the beat drops, and the player enters a half-speed wave section where everything, except for the player, is completely pitch black, reducing their vision. Here, the player must navigate very tight spaces using non-collision boxes. It turns into a mini-ship, with the pitch-black effect persisting, featuring rotating obstacles the player must fly through, each ending in one-space-wide spike gaps. The last part is a pitch-black cube section with a few wide double-spike jumps. After this, the level is over.

Trivia
[edit | edit source]- Cimmerian Shade was rated on 26 April 2025, over 20 months after its verification, and placed at #59 on the Demonlist on 25 May 2025, above Oblivion and below BPATA MPAKA.
- This addition pushed Judgement Knights into the Extended List and Nabil Let Go into the Legacy List.
- Sunix has posted the level 'Cimmerian Shade 2', simply the fully decorated version of Cimmerian Shade with a start position at 20% placed. This made people wonder if he was hacked and if the hacker leaked the level. The ID is 46152209.
- Sunix was initially supposed to be the verifier, but, as he moved to osu!, SrGuillester became the next verifier before the verification was supposedly shifted to Technical, who then dropped it. However, there is no proof that Technical was verifying the level.
- Cimmerian Shade evolved into a verification race, with spcreat getting a previous personal best (and world record at the time) of 82% and 30-100% before verifying it on 12 August 2023.
- LISP reconstructed Cimmerian Shade from AzuLer's version.
- The placement of Decks Dark on 16 January 2026 pushed Cimmerian Shade into the Extended List of the Demonlist, making it the second level by SrGuillester and AzuLer to fall out of the Main List.
- However, Cimmerian Shade rose to #64 on 20 January 2026, pushing it back to the Main List.
- However, the placement of zorin on 9 April 2026 pushed Cimmerian Shade back into the Extended List.
