[2.1] ACHERON (LEGENDARY DEMON) 100% by Riot & more | Geometry Dash

Jump from Tartarus...


So here we are eh? I don't think hstorm from 28 months ago would've ever seen this day haha. For those of you who don't know, I never intended this to be as big of a jump as it is. That's because I started playing this only a month after I had beaten Tartarus, so in my mind, I envisioned a jump from a Top 4 at the time to a new Top 1, so it couldn't be too bad right? LOL, yeah I realized that mistake pretty quickly, but I wanted my top 1 so bad, so I kept at it. Btw I don't have that goal of completing a top 1 anymore because the list is constantly changing as it is so it's just not viable for me anymore, but hey I was able to get 75% on this while it was top 1 so not bad right?

To say this wasn't the biggest mental struggle I've ever faced would be a lie no doubt because that's just how Acheron goes. Most people can make progress on this level at a decent rate, but the endgame of Acheron will just try and tear you down no matter what. I'll always be proud of myself for sticking with it though despite the fails and anguish this caused me because the victory is always worth it. This is no doubt the hardest thing I've ever done in ANY video game and I'm not sure anything will top that.

About the level, I've always found it fun and satisfying with the exception of the couple CRAZY chokepoints, such as 31, 42, and 72. Even the hardest part in my opinion, the 40 ship, was also my favorite part of the level because of how satisfying it was to pull off. I also believe most of Zoink's buffs to the first half were honestly a good call because of the ENDING. Yeah, that ending was never changed by Zoink; it was always that hard from the Wolvez version, so I think the buffs at least made this overall first half heavy which I like in a level.

I want to thank a few people individually:

Zeus: Been here since day 1 right? Funny I started this level on your BIRTHDAY of all things haha, but thank you for always believing in me and my crazy jumps.

TRSouless: Aka Nolan my goat. You've helped me so much throughout the years with how to have a good mindset towards the game and that helped so much for Acheron so thank you.

OneAlphaHelix: My fellow Tartarus to Acheron jumper you inspired me so much to keep playing this level despite the toughest moments. The TwitchCon prophecy is finally fulfilled!!!

Wolvez: First of all, SO HAPPY you got to see me do this live; you've always motivated me even back when I was doing like Auditory Breaker man and look where we are damn... but thank you for inspiring me to get better all those years ago up until now.

And finally, thank you to EVERYONE who watched my streams and progress videos and followed my entire journey. Your motivating messages sent every day and every stream are what pushed me to keep playing each day, and I'm so happy I was able to stream this completion :)
