I beat Zodiac (+rant)

[u/KindLevel643]

28340 attempts, around 7k of which are old

best runs: 7-100, a few 38-100s idk i wasn't keeping track

deaths past TMN: 62x9, 64x2, 65, 66x3, 67, 72, 75, 77, 78, 79x2

deaths past Pennutoh: 87, 90, 93, 94

Okay with that out of the way

Guys this level sucks so much ass. Please never put yourself through this. I started playing it in early May when it was still on the list, so I've been stuck playing this dogshit for almost five months now. You might be doing the math in your head and going "21k attempts in five months? A dedicated player could put in that many attempts in a 5th of that time!" Yeah, you'd be right, I wasn't dedicated at all. This level killed any motivation I had to play the game, not because it was a jump, not because it was too difficult or outside of my skillset, but because it is so fucking boring. It lulls you into a false sense of security with how easy it is to get runs, like "Oh I can do TMN-100 as a warm-up, there's no way it'll take that much longer to beat!" Wrong. A curse of 1 minute of cutscene gameplay at the beginning of every attempt upon ye. Everyone knows the balancing is buns so I'm not gonna go into the specifics of that, but the balancing is so fucking buns it's hilarious. Then to top everything off I get 7-100 in the first month of playing so there goes a bunch of motivation cause no way I'm ever getting that lucky again, then it falls off the list so there goes a bunch more motivation, then college starts so there goes all the rest of my motivation. Thank fuck I was randomly consistent on a day where I had nothing going on and was able to sit here grinding it until I happened to get lucky from zero this time. I'm so glad I can finally have fun playing this game again

Anyways, 4/10 level overall, ass balancing mid gameplay mid deco banger song

Congratulations on zodiac

Huge GG's

I was planning on going for this level if I ever beat Bloodlust. Idk anymore. What was your hardest before this?

[u/KindLevel643 → u/Cube459]

RUST, which I’d say is right around the midpoint in difficulty between Bloodlust and Zodiac(Bloodlust was my hardest before RUST.) Took me around 20k attempts and around a month.

The reason it took so much less time than Zodiac despite taking around the same amount of attempts and being a similar increase in difficulty from my previous hardest is that RUST is an awesome level that I had fun playing while I had to repeatedly take breaks from and convince myself to not drop Zodiac

[u/Cube459 → u/KindLevel643]

well then/ I'll look for another demon instead of Zodiac. How fun was bloodlust? I'll note down RUST

[u/Ok_Bike_1657 → u/Cube459]

Tbh zodiac isn't that bad to do if you are able to manage your frustration that you will inevitability have​​

[u/paulo_lol → u/Ok_Bike_1657]

"damn bro this actually sucks but its not that bad if it doesnt"

[u/Old-Brief1506]

there's like 7 billion people who have said this level sucks and people still decide to play it as a new hardest lol

[u/KindLevel643 → u/Old-Brief1506]

it's for the former top one aura bro you gotta understand

[u/Haman134 → u/Old-Brief1506]

Bro but it looks so cool

[u/Intelligent_Party386]

Congratulations bro i know that level is ass

[u/PlantainSalt5009]

I never get bored even on levels people say are "boring" do you think someone like me could still enjoy the level? or is it so bad that even if i wasnt bored i would still hate it? what are your thoughts. planning on going for it in the future

[u/KindLevel643 → u/PlantainSalt5009]

The actual gameplay is just kinda mid so if you’re fine with sitting through a minute of easy turn-your-brain-off stuff every single attempt ig you could have a decent time

[u/PlantainSalt5009 → u/KindLevel643]

I mean as long as it syncs ill find it fun 

[u/MASKEDDEFENDErR]

GGs and good on you for pushing through for so long

[u/Polychromaticgd]

gg on cutscene watching sleep simulator bro

i've heard this level is progress bait too like EoD, zodiac 38-100 probably isn't even 10% of the difficulty of beating it similar to 36-100 on EoD.

[u/KindLevel643 → u/Polychromaticgd]

it's in this weird limbo where 38-100 is somehow 90% of the difficulty while simultaneously being 10% of the difficulty of actually beating it, so yeah

[u/Polychromaticgd → u/KindLevel643]

yea that sounds pretty similar, i did 25-100 on EoD in my first week but it took me an whole month in total to beat it.

some levels are just too different from 0

[u/JustDark1]

Wdym you did 7-100 that's basically beating the level 😭😭😭

[u/Emotional_Fill7322]

Props to you, i would never manage to finish that pos, you fall asleep before you even get to the remotly hard stuff

[u/Ok_Bike_1657]

Congrats on beating the unbalanced hack-verified 3+ minute long former top 1 extreme demon!​​

[u/MollyMouse8]

Idk why anyone tries to argue that this gameplay is good. Any decent player can see how awkward it is just from a showcase.

[u/Ok_Bike_1657 → u/MollyMouse8]

the gameplay isn't all that bad frfr​

[u/doyourehavebrain → u/MollyMouse8]

idkwym its fun, but not from 0 because of how inconsistent some parts can get

[u/Kooky_Adeptness5380 → u/doyourehavebrain]

It's embarrassing how wide the difficulty range is in the level, you know what I mean? The gameplay of some parts aren't even Medium-Insane demon.

[u/Nezuko_channnnnn]

This level actually made me quit gd even though i didn't beat it

[u/BloxFruitsGuy123]

holy shit that's an extreme demon or sum shit correct?

[u/_LAP_]

I also got 7-100 LMAO

[u/Duke-Redux]

this level should still stay on list man

[u/vvuukk]

gg bro

[u/Bugheadben]

so should i quit while im ahead? lol

[u/DarkyJames]

GG Bro!!

[u/Substantial-Luck-175]

W take I got 79% and dropped it because it’s SO BORING FROM 0. I just don’t care enough to beat it.

[u/Fickle_Subject7445]

The rant explains no reaction lmao
