GRIEF is an upcoming 2.1/2.2 Extreme Demon mega-collaboration hosted by Icedcave and set to be verified by Doggie. It is an extended, possible remake of Icedcave's 1.9 impossible level Slaughterhouse and the prequel to his 2.1 extreme demon with the same name, Slaughterhouse. The level features an art-based hell theme, revised gameplay based on the original, and an extension from the original over a minute long. It is set to be the hardest level in the game, competing against many other upcoming levels.

Doggie currently has a record of 17%, achieved on May 9, 2024.

History

In late 2015, Icedcave published his level Slaughterhouse, a hell-themed impossible level consisting of simple decoration and extensive impossible spam. The level was showcased on YouTube by ToshDeluxe on October 3, 2015, becoming one of his most popular videos.

From 2018 to 2021, Icedcave hosted an unrelated extreme demon level also titled Slaughterhouse out of frustration of the old version's popularity. The level was supposedly verified by spaceuk, but following hacking allegations against him, Doggie was crowned verifier after he claimed first victor of the level.

In early 2022, Icedcave announced "GRIEF," a prequel to "Slaughterhouse," remaking the 2015 version with a minute-long extension at the end. Doggie was chosen as the verifier due to his close association with Slaughterhouse. The layout was finished in April 2022, with a showcase video posted on April 15. Decoration took 16 months, with periodic showcases from decorators. The full decorated level was showcased on August 11, 2022. Doggie planned verification once Update 2.2 released, but later postponed it to 2024, starting streaming on May 2, 2024.

Doggie achieved his current best run of 65-83% on May 7, 2024 and a record of 17% on May 9, 2024. In his initial streams, he used the Click Between Frames mod (CBF), a recently released Geode mod to remove limitations in the game's input polling rate, citing that the level would be nearly impossible to verify in its present state with the 240hz maximum tick rate implemented in Update 2.2; along with Diamond and LordVadercraft, he uploaded a video on May 2024 urging RobTop to implement the mod's mechanics into the vanilla game.
