'''Spectre''' is a [[Update 2.1|2.1]]/[[Update 2.2|2.2]] Extreme Demon mega-collaboration level hosted by xander, verified by PersonHuman42 on 5 October 2024.<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MzsSLKJrLSI</ref> It is a spiritual successor to [[Zodiac]], following that level's rainbow colour scheme and flow gameplay. 

Spectre was placed at #6 on the [[Demonlist (Pointercrate)|Demonlist]], above [[Tunnel of Despair]] and below Avernus.

==Description==
*'''0-6% (Atomic + dilw0nk):''' Spectre begins with a half-speed cube section with several orb timings, such as pink orbs and dash orbs. At first, the level shifts between orange, green, purple, and hot pink.
*'''6-12% (xander + Kllnex + Uriun + Artaire):''' After going into normal speed, the player then leaps over spikes and back down again as a ball for a few timings before becoming a ship, where they must hit a blue orb not to become upside down. The player must then fly through tight gaps between spikes, with some gravity portals. After the player becomes a cube again, the level slightly speeds up again, and they must make long jumps over spikes, including a quadruple-spike. After hitting a pink orb, the player briefly enters another ship section before they must hit a black orb into a cube portal. After they hit a cube portal, they must jump over a triple-spike in a green [[Clubstep]] monster's mouth before the next section begins.
*'''12-19% (PokeChatt + Kakemancool):''' The player abruptly teleports away from the anticipated ship drop and becomes a UFO, requiring them to hit a black orb into a robot that must hit blue orbs to move through slightly tight timings. The player then enters a very brief ship-cube dual section before becoming a single ship again as they must manoeuvre through tight straight-fly-esque gaps. They then enter a brief cube section that features two pink orb timings before going into a green dash orb. After a brief dual-cube section, the player enters a ship section through tight straight-fly gaps and must hit a green dash orb, which leads them into a brief dual-spider section. After this, it becomes a dual-ship, then an asymmetrical dual of a wave and a robot.
*'''19-28% (Gizbro + Striked + The Shoot):''' The player enters a triple-speed ball portal and becomes a ship after making a difficult pink orb input, hitting a black orb, and then a yellow orb. The player briefly turns into a cube and goes through a short mini-wave section, then grows and changes gravity. A quadruple-speed cube section lies ahead, with the player needing to hit a dash orb and a green orb, jumping into an upside-down wave section, then becoming a UFO and a cube, committing difficult orb inputs and timings as a mini later on, and finally turning into a ship, which, by using orbs, the player must avoid crashing into giant spikey gears. A short straight-fly follows. Then a tight cube-and-ship corridor spawns in, requiring high precision and consistent inputs, with the player often changing size.
*'''28-34% ([[BrianTheBurger]] + GD Iris):''' The cube spans half of this section. The player must perform fairly difficult orb timings and hit a triple-speed dash orb, then fall into a quadruple-speed portal, hit four easy orbs (blue, green, black, and green again), and make an input on a double-speed yellow orb that leads to a manageable triple-speed straight-fly. The player then must hit a green orb and become a UFO, briefly changing gravity, perform ceiling-spams, and fall into an upside-down quadruple-speed cube portal. They then must hit a green orb and become mini, jump, hit a blue orb, instantly jump twice, hit a yellow orb, and then grow in size.
*'''34-41% (Skrypto + Deadlox + Lightcell):''' The double-speed cube section begins; however, the player frequently changes speed while jumping on mostly gravity orbs and then as a UFO performs orb and gravity portal inputs.
*'''41-47% (Cersia + TruDee):'''
*'''47-50% (Arclia + Polli + LightningSL):'''
*'''50-56% (nwolc + nyab):'''
*'''56-63% (ZeroSR + [[CuLuC]] + Osiris):'''
*'''63-69% (YakobNugget + HelpegasuS):'''
*'''69-75% ([[EndLevel]] + Deadlox + ARtu):'''
*'''75-81% ([[Zeronium]] + Moosh + MercuryDT):'''
*'''81-88% ([[icedcave]] + Dawnfall + LightningSL + Accelec):'''
*'''88-94% (ZephiroX + [[Darwin]]):'''
*'''94-98% (icedcave + GrenadeofTacos):'''
*'''98-100% (Blitzer, End Screen):'''

==Trivia==
*Spectre was rated on 11 October 2024 and placed at #6 on the Demonlist a month later on 11 November 2024, above Tunnel of Despair and below [[Avernus]].
**This addition pushed [[Sakupen Circles (Diamond)|Sakupen Circles]] out of the Top 10, [[Lotus Flower]] into the Extended List, and Ploink into the Legacy List for the second time.
*Spectre became the hardest Epic-rated level in the game, surpassing [[KOCMOC]]; Anathema has since surpassed Spectre, which in turn has been passed by [[Flamewall]].
*Spectre was at one point designated as an official sequel to Zodiac by Bianox, but it was later retracted.
*Vernam used to have a part in the level, but he was kicked due to the Kurumi situation.
**ItsHybrid also had a part, which was later replaced.
*YakobNugget and OSIRIS, members of the Zodiac team, have participated in the level.
*Spectre's development started in late Update 2.1, but it was only finished after the release of Update 2.2.
*Despite it being a rather unpopular level for completing on the Demonlist, most of Spectre's victors awarded it with a high enjoyment rating.
*The placement of [[The Bloop]] on 23 July 2026 pushed Spectre out of the Top 20 of the Demonlist.
