===Artemis 13 verification===
During his first stream of beating Snowbound on 15 July 2026, Zoink announced his next verification project, Artemis 13, which was projected to be roughly Top 1-3 in difficulty.<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KHi5p7nACps</ref> Note that the level's original host, suffixpoint, allowed Zoink to alter the level however he wants, so Zoink most likely wanted to buff it to overtake Society, the current hardest Demon. The level is heavily inspired by Extreme Demons such as Acheron, UNKNOWN, and Penumbral.

Meanwhile, on 18 July, Zoink quickly beat Snowbound.<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1bhAareaao8&t=2231s</ref> Right after, he tried playing Artemis 13 and also learning [[Ultra Paracosm (declan)|Ultra Paracosm]] by declan, which he later beat on 22 July, after his worst fail of 54%.<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d1E18EjxZoo</ref>

Zoink shifted his full focus to Artemis 13, making his first major progress of 52-90%.<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eAqU81A5944&t=7735s</ref> By the next stream, he achieved runs of 28%, 16-47%, 45-80%, and 68-100%.<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zzL8PuBgRGk</ref> He would continue improving his runs each stream: 35%,<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ekn9ZcZI6Oc</ref> 41%, 32-74%,<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Yg51HLNK_-o</ref> 42%,<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u1xYdLW1g3A</ref> and 48%.<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bxubcB1YLDQ</ref> Eventually, he managed to get a new best of 61% on 30 July,<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oPqO8WbKAJo</ref> followed by 66% on 3 August 2026.<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sVMtO_cp3Fk</ref> Later that day, he also beat Voltage off-stream.<ref>https://x.com/gdzoink/status/2084421535377268858</ref> On 5 August, he got a record run of 32-93%.<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VksaNKkDlms&t=4997s</ref> On the side, he beat Tung Tung Sahurcles on 7 August.<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pgkozNJw904</ref> He set a new record run of 42-100% on 12 August.<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K-OTcQrbi6w&t=8727s</ref> After taking a small break to beat [[Phobos]], fluking from 61%,<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=21kqGZtTSMs</ref> Zoink got a new best of 70% on 15 August.<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IkSD4fB8m9w</ref> After a few more streams and a small break to revisit Exasperation, he improved his best to 72% on 21 August.<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PuvMuSUZitw&t=1945s</ref>

Zoink would get on a streak of new bests, achieving 73% twice<ref>https://x.com/gdzoink/status/2092022061174489352</ref><ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nRFBfbitlRE&t=4881s</ref> and 79% by 27 August, making it his first attempt at the last cube.<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VvPE-7Mk3O8&t=5222s</ref> That would later be updated to 82% due to a percentage update.

On 30 August 2026, a controversy involving the suffixpoint, the original host of Artemis 13, unfolded, prompting Zoink to drop the level initially.<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CmZrjWJGm54</ref><ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dIqcUnvKVZE</ref> However, news came out that the suffixpoint transferred ownership of the level to mvngo. Zoink later continued verifying the level, but he nerfed it to roughly Top 5-10 difficulty; he achieved 86% that day. On 4 September, he improved his best to 90%.<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DTByRlwZ-kE&t=6545s</ref> The next day, he got a 95% fail.<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qGN3y8tP_bY</ref> In that same stream, he beat aftermath, completing the entire Apocalyptic Trilogy.<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jjUW-0pYolY</ref> Right after, he tried playing ROCKBOTTOM and achieved 83%;<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qGN3y8tP_bY&t=13211s</ref> he beat it the next day.<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=grSwqn3OjuI</ref> Besides these levels, he had been briefly playing [[Antarctic Lights]] in the background, releasing his first notable progress of 69% on 8 September.<ref>https://x.com/gdzoink/status/2097464460134719564</ref> Finally, Zoink managed to verify Artemis 13 on 9 September.<ref name="Artemis 13" />
