Well, that was something. I originally started this as a joke to be like “what if I verified Acheron?“ just for the laughs. Little did I know, I would be put through the biggest challenge in my life, one that nearly broke me several times. After losing out on the verification after 4 months of grinding, I immediately lost my drive to continute playing, especially since I was moving into college at the same time. I lost my sight of finishing this off for several months, until I decided to return to streaming in March after my mental health got rough. That choice may have saved me, Acheron aside. The comeback I made on this was something I don't think I'll ever be capable of repeating. I fought through six Twitch Partner rejections, until I finally got partnered on Twitch in late April. From there on out, I begun to close in on the impossible. I was stuck at 91% for the longest time, until I caught a second wind of momentum within the past two weeks. There, I managed to find my way through the mindblock, and reached 92%, and 97% the next day. Then, on June 28th, I had perhaps the most heartbreaking stream in GD history. I died at 97% THREE times within the span of 40 minutes, hyping up my community and followers, but I couldn't pull it off, and went back to the hard grind, until today, on July 3rd, 2023, 452 days after I finished my first practice run on Acheron, I finally made it, and beat the hardest level in Geometry Dash. Now, the level itself. Despite the level being bone-crushingly difficult (its #1 for a reason), I was able to appreciate the gameplay for what it is. But when the level got verified, it turned into a bigger mental challenge than anything. It became less about being consistent, and more of surviving the infinite wall of chokepoints. The first jump is a 180hz frame perfect. The 6% orb spam never got consistent for me. 28% ended my momentum on countless occasions. 31%, I mean, you already know about that one. The 35 “skip“ may have saved me, I don't know WHERE I would be if Doggie didn't discover that. Thanks bro. The 37 wave never got consistent. The 42 yellow orb is a 3 frame on 360 and was a brutal chokepoint. I used to struggle a lot at 61-62, but I slowly got better at it. I didn't get better at 67 however. That ship killed me WAY too many times. And then you get to 72%, what could be the hardest ship gap in any level, up there with the Silent Clubstep ship. It was impossible at first, but I managed to break through. Then you have the 89% wave click, which was a brutal roadblock. Then you have the last 10%, where every click can be considered a choke point. I died 26 times in total from 89-100. I don't think I could have ever pulled through if I didn't stream this level. I had zero motivation to play this off stream, but the streaming experience was actually very fun, despite the giant of a level that I faced. Level: Acheron by ryamu Difficulty: Extreme Demon Attempts: 420,317 Placement on Demon List: #1 My Placement Opinion: #1 Worst Fails: 97x4, 92x5, 91x4, 90x4, 89x9, 86x3, 85x10, 84x5, 83x8, 82x3, 81x3, 80x3, 79x4, 78x3, 76x7, 75x11, 74x3, 73x22, 72x68, 71x2, 70x2, 69x40, 68x45, 67x81, 66x31 (380 Deaths at 66 ) Enjoyment: 31/100 The closest guess to the attempts was made by @voli18_ who guessed 420,069 attempts. They were off by only 248 attempts. Rather impressive if I do say so myself. Honorable mention to @ShowtimeRL, who guessed 420,769. I'd thank individual people, but I don't want to leave anyone out. So I'll just say, thank you everyone. This would not have been possible without your support. I told myself when I first started playing the game, that it would be a dream to complete the hardest level. Well, after over 8 years, I've done it. I've completed the hardest level in Geometry Dash.
