------------------------------------------------
easily the worst experience anyone has ever had in this game, i dont know why it took me so long given that i was getting to floor 8 almost every attempt for the past month but whatever its done now
------------------------------------------------
I originally started attempting this tower all the way back in July of 2022 while building it with bLocker, about a week or so before I completed ToEV. After it finally got ingame a few months later I started doing real runs on the tower, in which I got to Floor 6 in about a month. Progress was going smoothly until I eventually got extremely bored of the tower and ended up halting all progress for about 6 months. Thanks to the sudden rise of LiteratureDesk and his progress on the tower I decided to attempt the tower once again. Taking a break helped a lot as I managed to improve my personal best from floor 6 all the way to floor 11 in just over a month. From there I was getting to the final 2 floors almost every day I played, and expected a completion within a few days at most. Unfortunately, this wasn't the case and I ended up failing the final 2 floors over 30 times over the next month. Thankfully after 23 fails on floor 11 and 10 fails on 12 I was able to finally finish it off. Sorry for the seemingly out of nowhere and underwhelming completion, I didn't want to finish this tower on stream as I knew my nerves would be too much too handle (i would've 100% failed the final stretch this run if i was streaming). To anyone who wants to verify a tower of this difficulty please make sure to playtest and practice a lot. The amount of times I failed to stuff completely unavoidable is ridiculous, throughout my grind there were likely over 20 spots that were changed/altered in some way due to them being completely luck based (a good example of this is a few days before my completion where I was unfairly ladder dropped twice on one of the easiest jumps of the tower, a few jumps before the final floor. This was later changed so that it couldn't occur). I definitely would have beaten this tower a lot sooner if not for all the luck based fails that I had experienced throughout the grind, which is very annoying.
I know I will get asked this question a lot so I'll say here that this tower is undoubtedly harder than Tower of Blind Fate in my opinion. I know there's a lot of people who believe otherwise (coincidentally people who struggle with gameplay above the difficulty of tier 12) but in my opinion the harder raw gameplay does not make the tower harder, especially considering that it's at least 3x as short as CoIV (this completion you're watching has been edited a lot to be faster and also is just a generally quick run of the tower, a typical run would usually last around 1 hour and 30 minutes) (Also yes this is harder than BTB lol ask the only victor of that obby)
Fun fact: I first tried the Conveyor Hell at the end of 11 (easily the hardest part of the tower, but it's netted) which means that my completion is actually around Mid Unreal if that part were to be unnetted, however I don't personally count it considering nerves weren't taken into account whatsoever.
Full run with no edits: lol
