Keres is a 2.1 Extreme Demon mega-collaboration level hosted and published by ItsHybrid and verified by Crisis. It is a buffed and extended remake of Erebus, a level famous for being in the original RGB trilogy. Despite the pre-extension restoring most of Erebus' somewhat more simple gameplay, the extension contains considerably rapid duals and very complex gameplay.

Gameplay

The first half of Keres is a buffed, slightly altered version of Erebus. As the first half is a buffed version of Erebus, Ilrell's gameplay for the original level carries over.

• 0-5% (Salamander): This part is a buffed version of 0-8% in Erebus. The first part of the mini-ship part has obstacles to dodge, unlike Erebus.
• 5-8% (MakFeed): This part is a buffed version of 8-13% in Erebus.
• 8-15% (Don): This part is a buffed version of 13-22% in Erebus. A short ship dual was added when flying through the Clubstep monster.
• 15-21% (RealVet): This part is a buffed version of 22-32% in Erebus.
• 21-26% (Firs): Like the original level, there is a short automatic segment containing the level's title screen. The one for Keres was made by Firs.
• 26-29% (Majkomar + Esencia): This part is a buffed version of 40-44% in Erebus.
• 29-34% (Esencia): This part is a buffed version of 44-53% in Erebus.
• 34-40% (StarkyTS): This part is a buffed version of 53-61% in Erebus. There are no mirror portals, however.
• 40-44% (Zimnyte): This part is a buffed version of 61-68% in Erebus. A dash orb was added in the wave gameplay.
• 44-50% (Avati): This part is a buffed version of 68-76% in Erebus.
• 50-53% (Woom): This part is a buffed version of 76-81% in Erebus.
• 53-57% (ViRuZ): This part is a buffed version of 81-88% in Erebus.
• 57-64% (Isane): This part is a buffed version of 88-98% in Erebus. After the quintuple spike jump, the extension begins.

The second half of Keres is an extension. This part contains some fast-paced gameplay and duals. Just like the first half, the gameplay was created by Ilrell.

• 64-71% (CuLuC): The extension begins with CuLuC's part containing fast game-mode changes and sloped objects. The part starts with two cube timings before a tight mini-ship. After going through a teleport portal, the player becomes a cube that changes to a UFO after one timing. Next is an extremely short mini-ship that launches the player into a dash orb. The dash orbs lead the player to a tight wave before many fast spider timings. The part ends with some wave spam.
• 71-78% (SyQual): SyQual's part starts with a mini-ball timing followed by some UFO timings, hitting jump orbs. The part then slows down as the player holds down on dash orbs in a mini-wave symmetrical dual, directly before some fast-paced timings with gravity portals and a spam at the end of the dual. After a short straight-fly ship segment, the player enters an automatic blue pad transition.
• 78-86% (Unerve): Unerve's part is a long and tight asymmetrical dual with all game-modes except for robot and UFO. The dual begins with a mini-cube and a mini-ball. Next is a mini-spider and mini-ship. After some fast timings, both icons become a mini-wave for two more timings. Then, one wave becomes a mini-cube while the other icon stays as a wave. Both icons then become mini-balls briefly before a wave and mini-ball dual. After the player exits the dual, they become a wave and must go around sloped structures and spikes.
• 86-96% (Gaudium): Gaudium's part begins with some cube timings before some mini-cube timings. The player changes briefly to a ball before becoming a mini-cube again. Next is some mini-ball timings before another dual-wave with gravity portals and a mini-wave spam at the end. The level ends with an extremely tight black orb timing before a short automatic segment leading to a final sextuple spike jump.
• 96-100% (HJfod, End-Screen): HJfod's end-screen displays the creators and the verifier with green and yellow gears in the corners of the screen.
