Editing Kenos (section)

===The verification process===
ChiefFlurry was initially signed on to verify the level but passed it on to Combined shortly before the level's completion. Combined was initially hesitant to upload progress videos, but later uploaded the first on 1 August 2018 under pressure from fans, in which he achieved 71% for the third time.<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p326x093gSo</ref> His next progress video was uploaded on the same day,<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2U2Q8_y7j-s</ref> in which he achieved 90%. On Halloween 2018, Combined died at 97% on the level.<ref name="Combined's first 97% Fail">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JGh6n2dL46c</ref> Following this progress, he buffed the level; one change was 28-31% to quadruple-speed. However, on 10 February 2019, Combined uploaded a video titled 'Why I stopped playing Kenos', with the video showing him dying at 97% once more.<ref name="Combined's second 97% Fail">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hhqKwDXxASw</ref> Bianox then passed Kenos to the player Crazen, who nearly immediately dropped it in April 2018 after achieving 34%.<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JE7SVcKu7P0</ref> After this, it was passed onto a player named MirQ (now known as Miro), who also dropped it after achieving 70%. Kenos's verification was up in the air for about a year until Bianox passed the level to npesta, then known for verifying [[Deimos (EndLevel)|Deimos]] by EndLevel, a buffed remake of [[Phobos]], and [[WOW]], one of [[TrusTa|TrusTa's]] mega-collaborations.

npesta started verifying the level in late April 2019, when he immediately achieved a 64-100% run.<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VXnFFsAcjHQ</ref> During one stream, npesta ate a Cliff Bar and proceeded to play past 46% twice and then died at 53%.<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LOT4-kxqtac</ref> After npesta achieved 53%, he attempted a 31-100% run on the level, which he accomplished on 23 May 2019.<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=11XpLVjuoNg</ref> His later deaths would include 70%,<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2DktJLw6Deo</ref> 83%<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1nwLqBleWjY</ref> and 88%.<ref>https://youtube.com/post/UgxRm_K7s64-141IHwR4AaABCQ</ref> In early October 2019, npesta acquired a 240Hz monitor. This change prompted npesta to buff the level, as his 240Hz monitor 'made the level much easier'.<ref>https://youtube.com/post/Ugy7GctRu6E1_fJ3d8F4AaABCQ</ref> He finished buffing the level a few days later,<ref>https://youtube.com/post/UgxVY9ixzkd4Xma-DLN4AaABCQ</ref> then attempted a 17-100% run to achieve consistency on the level again; he would accomplish the run two weeks later. His worst fail on the level would be at 90%,<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Sr9PedyBy_Q?t=6780</ref> after which he would become demotivated and stressed by the verification. During an eight-hour stream, npesta announced in the stream that if he could not verify the level that day, he would nerf 79-84% (Spectex's part) due to his desire for the level to be published before [[Update 2.2]].<ref group="Notes">Before its December 2023 release, [[Update 2.2]] was speculated to be released numerous times between 2017 and 2023.</ref> He would ultimately fail to verify the level and nerfed Spectex's part, stating he felt bad for doing it.<ref>https://youtube.com/post/UgwkNvXOjXXpBgnEdhJ4AaABCQ</ref> On 14 December 2019, npesta stated he would attempt the level for one more day before nerfing it once again; the same day, he verified the level after 135,320 attempts and 117 streams.
