(First Mobile Victor) Ethereal Artifice by Zeroya and more (Extreme demon)

Note: I have no clue what was going on with the audio sorry lmao This was one hell of a level to finally complete. Almost a year ago, i was looking for a level to do as a new hardest. My eyes fell upon this, it stuck out so much because it looked so fun and so good. I tried it, and decided when the time was right i would go for it. Over the summer, I attempted to beat it. I got 55 and 27-100, but there was a big problem. Helpegasus had a bugged d block at 41, and it was such a wall from 0. It got to the point where i was getting to it every 5 attempts and dying there. I decided to drop it and wait for it to get fixed. Fast forward to 2.2, and the level got fixed. I beat an and knew this was finally next on the chopping block. I got it in 2 runs on my first day back, and after a few days i got 75. I wasn’t really able to play it too often since i had a lot of irl shit, so it was hard to get progress. I only really had time the past few days to really grind it out. Anyway, 2 days after 75 i got 77, and a lot more green part deaths. My consistency was so on and off, and so much random shit was preventing me from progressing further. I wouldn’t get to helpeg that often, i would constantly have bad delay, or id just get to the green part and do something stupid. 4 days ago, i got 89, which was kinda expected but still sucked. I was really stressing to beat it now, and i grinded the hardest ive ever done the past few days. I really haven’t done that in awhile, and it wasn’t fun. Today, I actually had good delay for once, and i beat it right before i had to go somewhere. Im genuinely so happy to have this done, this experience wasn’t the greatest. This is my new favorite level though, its so fucking good, ill talk about that later though. Experience wise, unfortunately it was not too good. It wasn’t fun just barely getting somewhere or throwing in the 2nd half, even though i find it harder. Im just glad all this work finally paid off, and i can safely have this under my belt. This is so awesome to have completed, and now that its over, i can say that im happy this experience went the way it did. The level itself, its so good. The gameplay is so fun and satisfying, no part is bad. The decoration is amazing, and the song compliments this level so well. I have to say, even though i found it harder, i like the green part more than the red part. It was definitely more fun to play and had less annoying shit in it. Anyways, starting from the beginning. The first ship is rough af, its either you’ll pass it every attempt or be stuck for awhile. The 10 ship is difficult sometimes, but gets consistent. The 15 wave clicks are also pretty annoying sometimes. The dual wave is also a choke point, but got very consistent after awhile. The swing copter and ship after are very hard, but also got consistent. The 27 part is so fun, except the ship in it. It’s such a satisfying part to do, and is fairly consistent. Helpegasus is one of the hardest parts, and was super on and off. The waves are very difficult and are huge choke points. The ship is also kind of hard, but i passed it a lot. The 45-55 section is nothing too special, it’s really fun gameplay and probably the best part in the level, but not that many hard things in it. The 47 ufo is chokey though. The 57 mini wave is a big choke point, and killed me a lot. The ufo and 60 spam afterwards was also one of the hardest parts for me. The ufo wasn’t too bad but the timings are sometimes hard, but the spam felt completely luck based. No strat whatsoever, id just get there and pray. The dash orb sync with the music is absolutely flawless though. The 66 blue orbs kinda suck and dont work sometimes, but that’s it. Platnuu is the hardest part imo, so many hard things in here. 70 ship is super chokeable, especially 71. The 74 straight fly is hard, and the 75 is genuinely so difficult to get good at. I was never that good at it, but i passed it a decent amount in runs. The 85 wave spam is also super hard, but thank god i didnt die there from 0. 89 is also a chokey timing, i almost died here again. Otherwise, the ending is pretty easy. Overall, its a really good level, and it gets very consistent. The thing that makes it hard is when the choke points just start killing you and becoming hard. It messes up consistency and makes it hard to get anywhere. I took about a week and a half on this, but so many of those days i didnt play or barely played. It was mainly these last 4 days i grinded this. I would recommend this, its such a fun and goated level. As i said, new favorite level for sure. Difficulty wise, i found it harder than aa for sure. I struggled a lot more on this than aa, but that can also be dependent on the person. There is a 0% chance though this is easier than bloodbath though.
