Verdant Landscape is a 2.1 solo Extreme Demon created, verified and published by Nisha. The level takes inspiration from Windy Landscape and The Golden, combining elements of the two. This level is known for its widely-praised enjoyable gameplay and for being the hardest full-solo level created and verified by the same player at the time of its verification, while currently being the third hardest behind The Lightning Rod and Kyouki.

Gameplay

• 0-7%: The level starts with a calm half-speed cube requiring mainly sync-based clicks.
• 8-12%: The song intensity slightly increases, and the player turns into a ball at single-speed, followed by a short cube and ship part.
• 13-17%: Next, the player enters a click-synced UFO section followed by a wave section to the end of the part of the song.
• 18-27%: This is the buildup section of the level featuring a half-speed sync-based cube, followed by a double-speed wave, ending with a triple-speed sync-based UFO.
• 28-43%: At this point in the level, the drop hits, and the player enters a quadruple-speed dual section with mainly cube timings, followed by tight ship manoeuvring towards the end.
• 44-63%: This part is a long section of fast-paced clicks and brief game-mode changes, along with focusing on music sync.
• 63-76%: This section has similar gameplay to the previous, although it is now triple-speed, and the colour scheme has a slight hue shift and is slightly brighter.
• 77-91%: The player enters another dual and begins flying towards the end of the level, facing a completely black screen at 91%.
• 92-100%: Upon entering this last section of the level, the player is greeted with a bright flash of green and must manoeuvre through many tight ship gaps before entering the final straight-fly. The player will also collect three free coins in the straight-fly provided they hit on a trigger orb at 91%.

• The level was rated on December 26, 2021.
• The level was initially placed at #11 on the Demonlist on 18 January 2022, above Kenos (#12) and below Zodiac (#10).
  • This addition to the Demonlist pushed xo into the Extended List, Stalemate Redux out of the Top 100, and CHROMA II into the Legacy List.
  • Verdant Landscape swapped places with Zodiac on 11 June 2022, knocking Zodiac out of the Top 10.
    • Both Stalemate Redux and Zodiac are former Top 1 Extreme Demons.
• The level was nominated for and achieved Best Extreme Demon in the Geometry Dash 2022 Awards.
• This is the third-hardest full-solo level (i.e. a solo level created and verified by one person) on the Demonlist behind The Lightning Rod and Kyouki.
• This level took about a year and 11 months to finish.
• The level's difficulty used to be comparable to Tartarus before the difficulty was nerfed to a Top 10-20 to be more enjoyable.
• This is currently the hardest-rated level in the game containing user coins above Critical Heat.
• This level is often considered one of the most loved Extreme Demons in the game, and many players who have beaten it gave it an extremely high enjoyment rate.
  • cobrablitz, ThunderBT, spaceuk and Technical even consider it as their favorite Extreme Demon.
    • cobrablitz’s enjoyment rating of 100 million raised to the power of 38.9 quintillion (meaning 100 million was multiplied by itself 38.9 quintillion times) is so large that attempting to calculate the end number instantly crashes any calculator.
      • When calculated by hand, this number equates to 10^(3.112*10^20); if written out fully, it would be over 300 quintillion digits long, far more digits than there are living insects on Earth.
    • This was the first level to which Technical gave a 100/100 enjoyment rating.
  • ThunderBT and CringyDylan consider this as the 'best level' in the game.
  • However, some of the victors, like SnowBallerr and Zoink, disliked it, and Trick, who also beat it, considered it the worst and his least favorite level in the game.
• Due to the physics change in 2.2 update, the 29% slope jump is currently bugged.
• The placement of Solar Flare on 10 June 2023 pushed Verdant Landscape out of the Top 25 of the Demonlist.
