The Nightmare
Template:Infobox Level The Nightmare is a 1.2/1.7 Easy Demon level created, verified, and published by Jax. It is the most downloaded and liked Demon level in Geometry Dash, appearing first on the Demon list without filters. As the second level in the Demon Pack 3, it holds historical significance as one of the first Demon-rated levels in the game. Despite its popularity, it has faced criticism for repetitive gameplay and outdated design.

- A second ball segment with gravity portals and a reverse gravity trap occurs from 41% to 60%.
