Sweeping Demon II

On 22 July 2025, Taiago would start his most ambitious, time-consuming, and attempt-devouring project yet, Sweeping Demon II, an upcoming Top 1-2 level by Temp that he would aspire to verify. By that day, Taiago already had 50% and 49-91% progress. His first SDII live stream appeared on 1 August; by the time of upload, he already had 52%. On 3 August, he got a 62% new best, then 39-100% on 11 September with about 85,000 overall attempts, 21-87% on 17 September with about 92,000 overall attempts, then 71% on 26 September in about 102,000 overall attempts, 73% on 31 October in about 137,000 overall attempts.

On 15 March 2026, Taiago got 39-100% again with about 212,000 overall attempts, and then reached 72% twice on the same stream. On 27 April, he finally got a new record of 86% with about 261,000 overall attempts. Despite that, Taiago streams his verification progress rather consistently. He has also done 72% seven times. Additionally, his best run to 100% is from 34%, with around 325,000 overall attempts.

Taiago would later get three more 86% fails until 10 October, when he improved his best to 87%.

Verified levels

• andromeda - a 2.1/2.2 Extreme Demon level by ⁨insxne. It is a space-themed level that looks comparably close to KOCMOC, with various space motifs, such as stars, a galaxy, and a black hole.
• Call of the jungle
• KOSETSU - a 2.1/2.2 Extreme Demon mega-collaboration level hosted by ffwe. The level's gameplay features frequent changes in game-mode and speed, and it seems partially inspired by Congregation and Slaughterhouse; its music fits the winter theme. It also features drastic colour changes and various brief 'glitches'.
• The wiener - a 2.1 Extreme Demon collaboration by Rynoxious, Linear, Alrexx and CDMusic. It features bright visuals and simple decoration—generally a goofy level. The level was made in just a week.
