Bloodbath

Template:Infobox Level Bloodbath is a very hard and very long demon created byRiot and others. It is supposedly a continuation of Cataclysm.

Bloodbath is the hardest non-impossible demon ever created. Riot Verified this level in his Stream.

Description

This level is mostly inspired fromCataclysm, incorporating red color schemes (though it changes to grey at Evasium's part). The music starts at approximately the point where Gboy ended Cataclysm. It also incorporates many hard parts like flying in between close spike passages, much like the level it was based on.

Gameplay

The level starts with the ship gameplay at the time where Gboy ended cataclysm. The level fades to a brighetr color scheme of black and red, and quickly progresses to a double speed cube, then a triple speed ship.

The triple speed ship has flashing colors, and a straight 1.5 block space to fly through, gravity portals switching the gravity of the ship periodically to the beat. The space is made up of spikes held by chains.

The transition to the triple speed mini ball was a half speed fly up for a split second.

The next sequence is a triple speed mini ball with the same color scheme, and the objects flashing to the beat. At the end of the sequence, the ball goes on a yellow pad and a half-speed portal to transition to the next ship segment.

The next triple speed ship segment is not straight flying, but up and down. The gravity changes rapidly, with a ramp at the end, with a open space holding Vermillion's signature. Thorns and gears are used for this part, and so is the before 2.0 brick blocks and plain black ramps.

The half-speed ball after the ship requires precise timing; each tap is a note of the song. each platform that the ball lands on is held up by chains, and is made of red bricks at the corners and black blocks with two lines in the middle. Extra spikes make the level harder, and hexagons decorate the platforms. A time machine portal flips the screen while the player is still playing, with no break to get used to the backwards orientation. After the backwards segment, styled the same way as the forwards segment, the ball is pushed into a line of portals as the music crescendos and notes go higher.

The music stops it's hectic, fast pace and starts a more peaceful section in a flat key. The level reflects that, and the speed turns to 1x speed. The hectic flashing stops, and a original cube sequence involving a triple spike, then a gravity change, occur. Torches are used in the background and they flicker. Thorns are seen on the ground again, and chains hold up the platforms. This segment is like a narrow hallway.

A 1.5 block "narrow hallway" ship sequence starts right after the last triple spike. Spikes make up the ground and the top.

There is a ball sequence after the ship, making the ball flip through a one-block space made of two spikes to reach the platform on the top.

A UFO sequence is next, and the trick is to tap when a player is about to hit a spike. This gameplay makes this part harder than the rest.

Another cube sequence follows, with more triple spikes, styled the exact same way. The music is still playing it's peaceful, flat-key melody.

A one-space wave follows, and one can see the flashing red MICHIGUN in the right corner. This is the end of the "hallway".

A dual part, only lasting for a few seconds, turns the color scheme gray for the first and only time.

The gray color scheme continues as the music plays it's peaceful melody. A half-speed flying section consisting of spikes and gears make the player go slightly up and down in a wave-like one space fly. The background of the section flashes, revealing extra designs and thorns. The ship turns into a mini and continues the same flying style and color scheme. A small "evasium" can be seen, telling the player this is evasium's part.

A mini wave comes after the ship, and spikes serve as obstacles only at the top and bottom. The correct path taken is shown when the background flashes. the only red things in sight are the gears near the ground. A regular wave follows, and the gameplay is much like michigun's wave part.

A regular 1x speed UFO follows, with rapid gravity change and purple orbs. The gray color scheme continues.

The UFO turns mini, and as the music accelerates and the drumbeat comes in, there is thorns and a line of purple orbs. A spamming up section is implemented as the song changes key and the level turns back to triple speed red and black.

The song changes key, a full step up, but playing the melody before, only faster and more urgent. The background changes to a bloodred. The gamemode turns into a triple speed mini ship, and the gameplay is chaotic flying. Gears and ToE ring decor are found. After a brief 1x speed section, triple speed resumes and straight flying starts, making the player go through a clubstep-like "monster" with a half-space fly.

There is then a section where a yellow jump orb and increasing speeds are used, inside a 1-block tunnel.

There is then a section much like clubstep, with "monsters" at varying heights.

The next non-mini cube sequence starts at half-speed, but increases speed while giving the player a break; there is no need to tap. The color scheme and music is still the same. A "CRACK" is seen.

A triple speed mini UFO is next. The background turns a bit lighter and flashes to the beat. Gravity changes rapidly, and gears leave a one-space gap to manuever the UFO to the notes of the song. Clouds are scattered throughout the level, and pulsing circles can be found. The size changes midway, leaving a split second of double speed before returning to triple speed. After a few seconds, another moment of half-speed occurs before going back to triple speed.

Next up is a mini ball sequence at triple speed. The same style as before: thorns, clouds, and pulsing circles. More blocks than gears can be found, because this sequence is a ball. The platforms use gray and red, with black glow blocks. The platforms dim and glow brighter to the beat of the song. One part consists of nine blue orbs in a two-block space, requiring more spammng of the mouse or keyboard. After the spam, an "ASONICMEN" can be seen.

After the ball part, the music undergoes a large change in mood and style. The key goes flat again. An auto part happens, with the objects' borders flashing chaotically and the background, too. This indicates that the song, and the mood of the level will be hectic and fast again. The end of the auto gives the player a split-second of half-speed before returning to triple speed.

A triple speed not-mini UFO with a different style than the rest follows the auto. The music turns back into the music from cataclysm n the first ship segment. It is slightly more artistic; more decorations and glow are used. Soon after, a "ETZER" is seen. The player must land on the etzer and tap a pink orb. After that, the player must undergo many gravity portal jump orbs; jumping while changing gravity.

Next is a 1x non-mini ship part. This part is slightly easier; there is actually 2 blocks to fly through. Players must fly under the gravity portal; it is a trick. The ship mode turns into triple speed for a second.

The next segment is a triple speed UFO. Two jump orbs are tapped before tapping a third one right inside a ship portal.

The next ship is a straight fly near the bottom, the place all black except for the tunnel the player's ship is in.

A 1x speed original ball follows with the same style and blocks as vermillion's ball part, with jump orbs though. A mini portal and a half speed arrow make the gameplay harder after one second of full-size. The gameplay turns triple speed after a second, and 4 jump orbs must be tapped, and the signature "HAVOK" can be seen.

Another UFO segment follows, changing speed and gravity. Saws instead of gears are found, held onto the blocks being obstacles for the UFO. Arrows are found guiding the player onto the right path, and teh background pulses to the music.

Next is a half-speed regular wave. Here the player must manuever through a one-block straight wave, changing heights and gears here and there, similar to acropolis's final wave. The background pulses a brighter red to the beat of the music. A "G" can be seen just in front of the ship portal when the background flashes.

Next is a triple speed upside down ship. Jump orbs have to be tapped, and the fly is chaotic with only 1.5 blocks of space. At the final notes of the segment, a 1.5 block straight fly with a regular size ship ends the segment.

The next segment is a half speed dual. One cube is large, and one is mini. Consecutive jump orbs are tapped, and the word "GIRON" can be seen brighter than all the other blocks, with chains connecting it to the blocks and floor. A small non-dual auto, around .4 seconds, ends the section.

A half-speed ball is next, similar to the one in catacysm. red blocks with chains in them are seen, and the words "sour blood" can be seen.

A one-second UFO is next, leading to the final ship, ball and cube.

The final ship part is the same style as the ball, and there is a upside-down one block straight fly.

The final ball uses tricks and tiny spikes with a full-size half speed ball. the words "GBOY" is seen.

The final notes holds a one-speed cube auto, with "GG" on the top of the cube and "riot" on the bottom. The level is complete.

Trivia

• This level took Riot over 30,000 attempts to verify. Even Robtop himself had to encourage Riot to keep on trying.
• There's an error in the level. It's at Etzer's flying section, where you can see an unfilled portion.
• It is said this level is hardest possible level on this game, which stopped argument about ICDX or Cataclysm is hardest.
• To date, no one has completed the level legitimately, with the exception of Riot himself.
• There is an easter egg at the very end of Bloodbath, at Gboys part, you can position yourself to land on top of the "GG". If you manage to do this, the word "Michigun" will appear.
• Riot says swag/quack in the beginning of evasium's section on the youtube video.
