Editing Bloodlust (section)

===Verification progress===
On 24 May 2016, Bloodlust was almost finished. Quasar started practising the level. He explained in a video that he had final and advanced placement exams, and that his hand had been severely hurt from playing too much Geometry Dash, which led him to take frequent breaks from the game. This stress took a lot of toll on him, and on 16 August 2016, Quasar officially quit Geometry Dash due to all the stress.<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1ur7wv6oG8U</ref>

After Quasar quit Bloodlust, Manix looked for a new verifier and chose knobbelboy, a talented Dutch player and creator known for making levels such as Dark RainBow Rebirth and Crying Souls. However, many doubted knobbelboy could verify this because the hardest level he had recently beaten was Bloodbath,<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IapCZtxIpxk</ref> which had an enormous difficulty gap compared to Bloodlust. However, knobbelboy proved many wrongs when he got a record of 65-92% within a week, which was extremely quick progress and an amazing achievement for a player who had only recently beaten Bloodbath.<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CvbYps-8Eso</ref>

knobbelboy got slightly sidetracked after that due to working on several more projects, such as his part for [[Fusion Z (PlebKingdom)|Fusion Z]],<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ggmVjHiRd6o</ref> his part for Subterranean Animism,<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wmU0AOpGV7Q</ref> and beating [[Athanatos]].<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HixckMI3rwo</ref> This meant he had to take a break from Bloodlust and continue his progress in 2017.

After knobbelboy verified [[Artificial Ideology]],<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WRfaroi9PpA</ref> an Extreme Demon by Team N2, he continued to practise Bloodlust in March 2017, getting a record of 68%, making it to the extension.<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iGV6jZoya6E</ref> However, knobbelboy was sidetracked once again, working on another big project—[[Astral Divinity|God Eater]]. Even though his first preview of God Eater did not receive many views,<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wGLGxgVra18</ref> his second preview exploded into popularity,<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BtCwQ1nAhOY</ref> shocking the community with its amazing designs and art and even causing many community members to consider it as the 'best Geometry Dash level'.

After the God Eater montage controversy, knobbelboy continued to practise Bloodlust, getting a record of 18-85%, an amazing achievement that shocked the community and gained him more support.<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WIn-Emw2GoI</ref> He took a break from Bloodlust and got a record of 76% approximately two months after the 18-85% run.<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vgVkw_IicBo</ref>

Five days after the new record of 76%, knobbelboy got what was then the worst fail in Geometry Dash history—98% on Bloodlust. This fail demoralized him, and afterwards, he failed at 97% and then got 97% again. He would then announce on Twitter that he got 91% twice and 96%.<ref>https://twitter.com/knobbelnyu/status/949426873884344320</ref> This further demoralized him, but the community continued to support him. However, some people thought knobbelboy was taking too long to verify Bloodlust and wanted a new verifier.<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9YVaxTwKZEo</ref>

On 8 February 2018, a 240Hz player known as Crazen began practising Bloodlust, completing the 67-100% extension quickly. Many players started wondering why he was practising Bloodlust.<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bkkZls9I59w</ref>
