Setting up a comment as a QnA Q: Are these levels beaten legitimately? A: The levels I beat legitimately are the following: Demon Park, To The Grave, Extreme Park, Demon World, BP Night, The Hell Zone, The Hell World, The Hell Origin, ICE Carbon Diablo X, Cataclysm, Future Demoness, Fexty, Bloodbath, Theory of Darkness, Phobos, Sakupen Hell, Athanatos, Artificial Ascent, Yatagarasu, Erebus, Stalemate Redux and Digital Descent. Everything else was beaten using a TAS. Q: Will you make subtitles? A: Eventually yes, it will also serve as a helper for dates mentioned in the video since I didn't really help viewers remember what I'm describing. Q: Why are the songs for Future Demoness and Element 111 Rg different? A: In Future Demoness's case, that is the original song for the unnerfed version. The song is called The Quick and The Dead made by Rudebrat and it was uploaded by someone else on NG before being taken down. The song was then changed to Supernova by Xtrullor to make up for the loss of the original song. In Element 111 Rg's case, while the two videos I made on the levels say that the song was either xStep or Electroman Adventures, we were painfully wrong. We have 100% confirmed that the original song is now Time Machine, it can't be anything else. The context of how we figured this out is a bit too long to discuss here but rest assured, both the songs are correct. Q: Shouldn't Trueffet be considered an EX top demon? A: No. As the very first rule says, the list is based off beliefs at the time, not what we believe to be correct today. If I did base off beliefs at the time, say goodbye to ICE Carbon Diablo X, Heaven and Hell, Element 111 Rg, Future Demoness, Artificial Ascent, Yatagarasu, Erebus, Stalemate Redux and Digital Descent as top 1's. Plus, Trueffet according to The Demon List is not harder than Tartarus apparently, which goes to show even further why I will not base off beliefs that show up later.
Hi stormfly i have an unrelated question: do you know what is the oldest level to be verified with hacks or a secret bug/glitch? If so could you provide the ID?
@Stormy question how did you make your texture pack ? i kinda like it and i would like to create one for my icon set as well and btw i am really excited for this amazing video!
Stormy: EX demons are demons who would have been top 1 if not special situation Me:T-R-U-E-F-F-E-T I think this is the best geometry dash video concerning top 1s, great job as always!
Trueffet is not harder than Tartarus just people though it was harder than Tartarus in late 2021 and early 2022 which now we know that it's easier than Tartarus (and now arcturus is also above Trueffet)
I love how much of a troll you were with firework lmao Awesome video dude, really interesting to hear about stuff like the transition of the community being more aware and careful of hackers
15:44 “A good demon map in my opinion uses fakes, misdirection, and some timing to create the difficulty, not extremely tight timing” is so interesting to think about compared to how modern demons are built.
Its actually very good advice. LIMBO is definitely the best upcoming top 1 demon, and it uses memory and "some timing" to make the level difficult. Levels like Slaughterhouse and Abyss of Darkness are definitely looked down upon as actual good levels, just because the difficulty is concentrated, the predrops are boring, and the levels are way too hard.
@@zmansadventures it is disputed whether or not it will be top 1 since its difficulty is uniquely made, but for being at least a top 5 it is a really good level.
should have talked about when the early hardest demons were legitimately beaten. I feel that would have added more context to the difficulty of these levels in relation to eachother. Also could have flexed your hell series completions
ive actually saved that for my upcoming video, which will be easier to remember since it is a much shorter video than the History of Hacking and Every Hardest Demon videos and trust me, it is way more appropriate flexing for that video :p
something about the gd community that i find really funny is how people slam verifiers of hard levels for not doing it fast enough (most notably bloodlust, kenos), while half of them have the nightmare as their hardest demon.
Yes, Firework was a top 1, and even though Space hackverified it, Slaughterhouse was still believed to be harder. Top 1s in Stormflys criteria are by the communitys beliefs. Slaughterhouse was the hardest demon at that time. It is a shame though how Trick and the team behind Firework got absolutely ROBBED.
Honestly, top 1 level is always special. It's the level the most new and returning players (or even outsiders) would look at. It symbolizes the peak of the game's development and skill progress of its players through all those years. In my opinion, top 1 must be not only the most difficult, but also visually stunning. Not asking for Serponge/FunnyGame/Spu7Nix level of deco, but still... With that being said, I believe that The Golden was the best top 1 of all time. It may be my own preference, but honestly, those generic red&black hell-themed levels are so bland, unoriginal and boring. Aren't you annoyed when another "xXCarbon Diablo Cataclysmic bloodbathXx theory of hell xtreme back on track" by DemonDesigner666 gets verified and becomes a new hardest? I'm quite an unskilled (more of an antiskilled) player myself, but the gameplay looks bearable, I guess. I know that absurd 500+ hz timings are crucial for the difficulty of the level, but kanker gameplay simply destroys the last bits of fun the level can give you (if beating extreme demons wasn't unfun already). That's just my honest and subjective opinion. Feel free to disagree.

Acheron NOTE: All the levels before 2015 are organised by date of posting, not of rating, due to lack of accurate information. Also, there's 2 demons that supposedly were placed in top 1 for very short periods of time (less than a day) most likely by mistake by Pointercrate, Devil vortex (30/03/2019) and Arctic lights (27/05/2022) Note 2: The actual date when ICDX became Top 1 (if we don't count silent club) is when stereo demoness was nerfed, but I do not know the date of that nerfdate
here's 3 fixes: fix 1: firework was 18 seconds because arcturus is easier than firework fix 2: abyss of darkness is 1.5 months after the verification of silent clubstep (this is incorrect, ignore this) fix 3. while typing this i remembered the list update (silent clubstep isn't placed yet. when it gets placed, this fix will be incorrect edit: silent clubstep is top 5 as the time I am typing this but overall it was never placed at top 1) slaughterhouse is the new top 1 because it was deemed harder than AoD after spaceuk beat AoD
great work, really nice seeing an up to date and accurate version of this! also glad my (albeit pretty small) contributions to 111 rg helped shape the restoration into the mess it is today
Its so funny that back in the day Robtop would refer to Darnoc as one who made fun levels, when he made some of the most braindamaging gameplay of all time (especially in map packs)
For people unaware, this video didn't used to include silent Clubstep or abyss of Darkness. They were in the original file, but were intentionally edited out of the video due to them not being verified yet. They were added in after the verification. Tl;dr, Stormfly is a fucking genius
I know that i've already said this in your stream and i'm running the risk of being annoying to you, but in lieu that this could motivate you, even by a bit and considering that i can’t give you anything monetarily, even though i really want to, i think this is the least i can do. Honestly, at the start of this video, i was feeling really crappy. Some things had happened between me and my s/o and even tho the situation was already over with, i still felt rather guilty for what happened, even with them assuring me that it wasn’t my fault. Whether or not you video made me feel better, by making it easier for me to think about things while watching it or by distracting me from the problem itself, what is safe to say is that i feel a whole lot better after finishing watching the video. And while i still don’t feel so good due to my gender dysphoria, at least i don’t feel sad anymore. It should also be noted that isn’t the first time, though this is definitely the most extreme example of watching your content making me feel better. While this might be cliche..y? to say, i honestly can’t thank you enough for that
amazing video, as always! one thing i love about GD is how every single level has its own little story to tell, and putting all those little stories together tells the story of the game itself!
Fun fact: Erebus was originally made for Sea1997's creator contest, where the creators had to make an extreme demon. However it was disqualified for not having a swing copter
I thought zodiac was removed from the top spot because it was shortly updated to a joke level for like a day (i think it was satcherz bop), but then it was put back as soon as the update was reverted. Could be wrong but I remember this happening.
I think ppl just make that technicality that firework was top 1 for 12 seconds cuz ppl like firework (including me) especially when compared to other top 1s
the demonlist update said something like "Slaughterhouse has been placed.... subsequently, Firework has been placed at #2" So I'd say either it was just a mistake that Firework got on the pointercrate site itself first, or the person that put them on the list just wanted to see Firework at #1 Either way the idea was that Slaughterhouse was always the harder demon
Korean guy not giving a damn about the quality of his level because he was never going to beat it legitimately. Story of about half of all pre-1.9 extreme demons.
@@itsorenji Thanks. Ik you’re joking. But what I meant was how did it turn from the not so chaotic looking version to THIS version. Can’t wait for the new version.
@@GronkleGD Because the restoration team found that the song is Time Machine, the original level was very badly synced, so they’re going to have to redo the level. That is why it’s so chaotic
You are by far the best and most dedicated GD content creator we have, always making sure to do your research to the best of your abilities, I can really appreciate that. I consider you as the modern day Sea1997, except looking back, maybe his videos weren't nearly as informed as yours. Anyhow, thank you, and keep up the great work!!
@@NikodAnimations Yes, but you can only remove/add stuff that was already in the video to begin with. When the video was first uploaded, Stormfly removed the AoD and SC parts first before making it public.
If one player started playing the impossible game (Original GD) since it's release and became so good at the cube that right from the release of GD he was already good at it NOTE: The following reactions is what it would be like when they finally complete it on 60hz cuz he's stuck on 60hz monitor forever. Demon Park 3:58 - nice i beat it. Attempts they took: 22 To the grave 5:37 - gg, it's just slightly harder than demon park imo Attempts they took: 29 Extreme Park 7:12 - Holy shit i beat it. It's so hard because of how much you have to memorize but GG! Attempts they took: 41 Demon World 8:53 - oh my god finally i beat it. I died twice at that straight fly and once at that 7% timing but nice Attempts they took: 38 BP Night 10:23 - nice i beat it, it's easier than demon world so i beat it in way less attempts Attempts they took: 19 The Hell Zone 12:07 - OH MY GOD IT'S FINALLY OVER! Attempts they took: 1,285 The Hell World 13:37 - I BEAT IT! YEEESS!!! *heavy breathing* Attemtps they took: 956 Heaven and Hell 15:05 - OH MY FUCKING GOD!!! I BEAT IT x6... FUCKING BLUE ORB SPAM I DON'T WANNA DEAL WITH THAT SHIT ANYMORE! Attempts they took: 3,548 The Hell Origin 16:33 - YES I FINALLY GOT PAST THE LAST BALL AND BEAT IT! IT'S FINALLY OVER! *screaming intensifies* Attempts they took: 2,613 Stereo Demoness (Unnerfed) 18:05 - YES I DID IT GG! Attempts they took: 828 Silent Club 19:35 - (same exact reaction as BGram verifying LIMBO) Attempts they took: 2,596 Element 111 RG 21:17 - YES YES I FINALLY BEAT THIS SHIT. OH MY FUCKING GOD. Attempts they took: 10,427 Ice Carbon Diablo X 22:50 - omg i did it. It's way easier than the previous ones my god. Attempts they took: 178 Then he gets a massive skill boost for the next ones. And it's expodential when harder extremes come Cataclysm 24:15 - gg Attempts they took: 18 Future Demoness 26:10 - nice it's just slightly easier than cataclysm imo Attempts they took: 13 Sonic Wave 28:19 - oh my god i did it. Felt like forever Attempts they took: 45 Fexty 29:24 - yoo i did it! GG! Attempts they took: 32 Bloodbath 31:24 - wow i beat it so quickly. Attempts they took: 8 *Rest coming soon!*
Since this video. There has only been one top 1 demon since then which was verified by Zoink 4 months after this video came out… Acheron! It’s still the hardest demon in the game after more than 12 months Edit: There’s also Avernus now
Firework was technically top 1 on the demonslist as well, because slaughterhouse caused the list to crash and so firework was top 1 on the list for like a minute
So, if I have this right, every hardest demon between Demon World and Bloodbath was not uploaded legitimately. Meaning there were almost 2 years without a legitimately verified hardest demon.
I know nobody will read this, but I don't care. Firework should be an EX top 1 because, well, it wasn't top one for a day. IT WAS FOR 18 SECONDS. And in my opinion it has to be top one for at least a day to be considered a top one or former top one.
Despite coming off to many as a very simple game, there's so much history and so many impressive accomplishments that nobody would've guessed could happen a few years ago, and it's very interesting to me. Great video as always :)
I love these types of videos :) I've been working on "History of the Demonlist" for a month or two now and this will really help for before-pointercrate rankings, amazing video
Technically it was actually one. When you run a task, you usually have to open the level, and then play the TAS, which counts as two attempts. So it’s technically one attempt
I loved the original video, and when I saw this on my recommended, I was extremely hyped, and of course it did not disappoint. However, I was very surprised to see that Hard Machine didn’t make the list as an EX top 1. Unless I am mistaken, I do not believe that it broke any of the rules, and it was considered much harder than ICDX, the top demon at the time of its creation. I understand why it wasn’t considered a top 1 officially, since it wasn’t rated until recently, when Slaughterhouse was number one, but I believe that it should have deserved at least a mention of some sort.
TL;DR for this comment I haven't listened to a single song outside of GD! Creo is the god! listen to a song that isn't in gd. creo - sphere is good but FAR from the best Unless you're being sarcastic.
@@jolahmapping bro that comment was 2 years ago. Also it was hyperbole, sphere is still probably my fav song I've heard in GD but I wasn't literally saying it the best song of all time.
personally, i thought firework was cool way ahead of its time. i beat a noclip layout with 68% accuracy bc my pc and my phone :( but i only liked because the first nightkilla song in the history of geometry dash wasnt a nc level.
I play since May 2014, I remember when demons were disliked, in fact these levels was annoying. Hard and fun levels started in 1.8, older demons are mostly a pain
Would be really cool to see the name of the lvl either the whole time somewhere on the screen or as a "chapter" in the timeline of the video. This would give more attention to the actual lvls' names
I think Firework never was the hardest demon in gd, even tho I think it would have been awesome. It just was the hardest placed on the demonlist for a couple of seconds.
Setting up a comment as a QnA
Q: Are these levels beaten legitimately?
A: The levels I beat legitimately are the following: Demon Park, To The Grave, Extreme Park, Demon World, BP Night, The Hell Zone, The Hell World, The Hell Origin, ICE Carbon Diablo X, Cataclysm, Future Demoness, Fexty, Bloodbath, Theory of Darkness, Phobos, Sakupen Hell, Athanatos, Artificial Ascent, Yatagarasu, Erebus, Stalemate Redux and Digital Descent. Everything else was beaten using a TAS.

You're being generous assuming that any of them can beat a demon
watch them shut up by saying "progress check" lmao
One thing that for sure hasn't changed since 2014 is that most of the hardest levels are still hell themed
yeah it's a little rare to get a differently themed top 5 but more common now
They are called demons to be fair
hola sirdi
i like how every creator in 2013 used Time Machine as a song for their impossible crap lol
well now we can say firework WAS actually a top 1. 2 months to be exact.
Yes, Firework was a top 1, and even though Space hackverified it, Slaughterhouse was still believed to be harder. Top 1s in Stormflys criteria are by the communitys beliefs. Slaughterhouse was the hardest demon at that time. It is a shame though how Trick and the team behind Firework got absolutely ROBBED.

Doggie technically verified it.

Honestly, top 1 level is always special. It's the level the most new and returning players (or even outsiders) would look at. It symbolizes the peak of the game's development and skill progress of its players through all those years. In my opinion, top 1 must be not only the most difficult, but also visually stunning.

personally i think zodiac is better
My favorite top 1 is Artificial Ascent, but I do agree that The Golden is underrated. I’m also in love with its song.
the golden is quite generic too, idk, i think, if limbo gets to be top 1, it'll be the best by far lol
@@johon127 Totally agree

NOTE: All the levels before 2015 are organised by date of posting, not of rating, due to lack of accurate information. Also, there's 2 demons that supposedly were placed in top 1 for very short periods of time (less than a day) most likely by mistake by Pointercrate, Devil vortex (30/03/2019) and Arctic lights (27/05/2022)
Note 2: The actual date when ICDX became Top 1 (if we don't count silent club) is when stereo demoness was nerfed, but I do not know the date of that nerfdate
here's 3 fixes:
fix 1: firework was 18 seconds because arcturus is easier than firework
fix 2: abyss of darkness is 1.5 months after the verification of silent clubstep (this is incorrect, ignore this)
fix 3. while typing this i remembered the list update
(silent clubstep isn't placed yet. when it gets placed, this fix will be incorrect edit: silent clubstep is top 5 as the time I am typing this but overall it was never placed at top 1)
slaughterhouse is the new top 1 because it was deemed harder than AoD after spaceuk beat AoD
probably include "(07/10/2022) Acheron"
Stereo Demoness was nerfed on oct 11
@@nathan2310 Sure? I watched a stormfly video that said it was september
Looks like slaughterhouse is missing a key detail now...
1:03:49 “Let me know your opinion in the comments and I won’t read them!”
damn
great work, really nice seeing an up to date and accurate version of this! also glad my (albeit pretty small) contributions to 111 rg helped shape the restoration into the mess it is today
Its so funny that back in the day Robtop would refer to Darnoc as one who made fun levels, when he made some of the most braindamaging gameplay of all time (especially in map packs)
For people unaware, this video didn't used to include silent Clubstep or abyss of Darkness. They were in the original file, but were intentionally edited out of the video due to them not being verified yet. They were added in after the verification.
Tl;dr, Stormfly is a fucking genius
Through the RUclips trimming feature I believe.
And slaughterhouse Top 1 again fck bro
Technically, Firework WAS a top 1 demon, bcus Space cheated :>
I know that i've already said this in your stream and i'm running the risk of being annoying to you, but in lieu that this could motivate you, even by a bit and considering that i can’t give you anything monetarily, even though i really want to, i think this is the least i can do. Honestly, at the start of this video, i was feeling really crappy. Some things had happened between me and my s/o and even tho the situation was already over with, i still felt rather guilty for what happened, even with them assuring me that it wasn’t my fault. Whether or not you video made me feel better, by making it easier for me to think about things while watching it or by distracting me from the problem itself, what is safe to say is that i feel a whole lot better after finishing watching the video. And while i still don’t feel so good due to my gender dysphoria, at least i don’t feel sad anymore. It should also be noted that isn’t the first time, though this is definitely the most extreme example of watching your content making me feel better. While this might be cliche..y? to say, i honestly can’t thank you enough for that
I hope you'll feel better, soon!
amazing video, as always!
one thing i love about GD is how every single level has its own little story to tell, and putting all those little stories together tells the story of the game itself!
Yeah
Missed opportunity of God Eater honorable mention, but overall great video
1:03:53 the pain of hearing that name
Fun fact: Erebus was originally made for Sea1997's creator contest, where the creators had to make an extreme demon. However it was disqualified for not having a swing copter
lol
11:06 that fact made me laugh so hard
I thought zodiac was removed from the top spot because it was shortly updated to a joke level for like a day (i think it was satcherz bop), but then it was put back as soon as the update was reverted. Could be wrong but I remember this happening.
I think ppl just make that technicality that firework was top 1 for 12 seconds cuz ppl like firework (including me) especially when compared to other top 1s
Its 17 seconds
As one of those people that make that technicality, I can confirm
the demonlist update said something like "Slaughterhouse has been placed.... subsequently, Firework has been placed at #2"
So I'd say either it was just a mistake that Firework got on the pointercrate site itself first, or the person that put them on the list just wanted to see Firework at #1
Either way the idea was that Slaughterhouse was always the harder demon
Slaughterhouse was verified first, so i never counted FW as a top 1
Other youtubers: *Pitch a copyrighted song so it dosent get them in trouble*
Stormy: *Aggressive wind noises*
RUclips got smarter, even pitching it doesn't work anymore
How tf did 111 RG turn into that?
Korean guy not giving a damn about the quality of his level because he was never going to beat it legitimately. Story of about half of all pre-1.9 extreme demons.
@@itsorenji Thanks. Ik you’re joking. But what I meant was how did it turn from the not so chaotic looking version to THIS version. Can’t wait for the new version.
@@GronkleGD Because the restoration team found that the song is Time Machine, the original level was very badly synced, so they’re going to have to redo the level. That is why it’s so chaotic
Robber has beaten Slaughterhouse, Firework, and SWI. I agree with this video
ok
have you beaten back on track though
@@darthmauve TRUEEEEE
I love the explanations of each level, it gives them these incredibly interesting backstories.
1:07:13 JOSH DELUXE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Whats Stormys Texture Pack? Because On 2015 Had Texture packs
You should have mentioned how plasma pulse finale was the first top 1 demon to be truly harder than sonic wave
You are by far the best and most dedicated GD content creator we have, always making sure to do your research to the best of your abilities, I can really appreciate that. I consider you as the modern day Sea1997, except looking back, maybe his videos weren't nearly as informed as yours. Anyhow, thank you, and keep up the great work!!
You predicted Silent Clubstep TOO???!?!
the video was edited
@@NikodAnimations Yes, but you can only remove/add stuff that was already in the video to begin with. When the video was first uploaded, Stormfly removed the AoD and SC parts first before making it public.
For 37:30 he didnt have verification video, he made noclip run claiming he beat it of recording
If one player started playing the impossible game (Original GD) since it's release and became so good at the cube that right from the release of GD he was already good at it
NOTE: The following reactions is what it would be like when they finally complete it on 60hz cuz he's stuck on 60hz monitor forever.
Demon Park 3:58 - nice i beat it.
Attempts they took: 22
To the grave 5:37 - gg, it's just slightly harder than demon park imo
Attempts they took: 29
Extreme Park 7:12 - Holy shit i beat it. It's so hard because of how much you have to memorize but GG!
Attempts they took: 41
Demon World 8:53 - oh my god finally i beat it. I died twice at that straight fly and once at that 7% timing but nice
Attempts they took: 38
BP Night 10:23 - nice i beat it, it's easier than demon world so i beat it in way less attempts
Attempts they took: 19
The Hell Zone 12:07 - OH MY GOD IT'S FINALLY OVER!
Attempts they took: 1,285
The Hell World 13:37 - I BEAT IT! YEEESS!!! *heavy breathing*
Attemtps they took: 956
Heaven and Hell 15:05 - OH MY FUCKING GOD!!! I BEAT IT x6... FUCKING BLUE ORB SPAM I DON'T WANNA DEAL WITH THAT SHIT ANYMORE!
Attempts they took: 3,548
The Hell Origin 16:33 - YES I FINALLY GOT PAST THE LAST BALL AND BEAT IT! IT'S FINALLY OVER! *screaming intensifies*
Attempts they took: 2,613
Stereo Demoness (Unnerfed) 18:05 - YES I DID IT GG!
Attempts they took: 828
Silent Club 19:35 - (same exact reaction as BGram verifying LIMBO)
Attempts they took: 2,596
Element 111 RG 21:17 - YES YES I FINALLY BEAT THIS SHIT. OH MY FUCKING GOD.
Attempts they took: 10,427
Ice Carbon Diablo X 22:50 - omg i did it. It's way easier than the previous ones my god.
Attempts they took: 178
Then he gets a massive skill boost for the next ones. And it's expodential when harder extremes come
Cataclysm 24:15 - gg
Attempts they took: 18
Future Demoness 26:10 - nice it's just slightly easier than cataclysm imo
Attempts they took: 13
Sonic Wave 28:19 - oh my god i did it. Felt like forever
Attempts they took: 45
Fexty 29:24 - yoo i did it! GG!
Attempts they took: 32
Bloodbath 31:24 - wow i beat it so quickly.
Attempts they took: 8
*Rest coming soon!*
41:56 that sentence synced better than the level
Since this video. There has only been one top 1 demon since then which was verified by Zoink 4 months after this video came out… Acheron! It’s still the hardest demon in the game after more than 12 months
Edit: There’s also Avernus now
Avernus......
@@St4rBoy_ I know. I forgot about this comment :v
Now there's tidal wave!
Firework was technically top 1 on the demonslist as well, because slaughterhouse caused the list to crash and so firework was top 1 on the list for like a minute
“If you’re confused about this decision tell me your opinion in the comments and I won’t read them” Lmao (this happens around 1:03:45)
So, if I have this right, every hardest demon between Demon World and Bloodbath was not uploaded legitimately. Meaning there were almost 2 years without a legitimately verified hardest demon.
I know nobody will read this, but I don't care. Firework should be an EX top 1 because, well, it wasn't top one for a day. IT WAS FOR 18 SECONDS. And in my opinion it has to be top one for at least a day to be considered a top one or former top one.
28:06 hey, someone uses the masterpiece that is the HJFod sonic blaster remix rather than some shitty mashup
Despite coming off to many as a very simple game, there's so much history and so many impressive accomplishments that nobody would've guessed could happen a few years ago, and it's very interesting to me. Great video as always :)
5:39 - The timing of the song ending is perfect on to the grave
"If anyone is confused, put your opinions in the commentd and I won't read them!"
I love these types of videos :) I've been working on "History of the Demonlist" for a month or two now and this will really help for before-pointercrate rankings, amazing video
after this video's upload, we have a new reason for why firework was a top 1, slaughterhouse was hacked by space uk, now the most imfamous hacker.
Imagine a world were Zobros beat Silent Club 6 years ago and regained the top 1 spot
45:28 according to the chapters, this is Stanley redux.
Louis Sachar moment
I think he should've put Trueffet as an EX because it was supposed to dethrone Tartarus and I think he should remove Firework as an EX.
makes no sense at all...
1:04:50 Oopsies!!
I find it funny how some of the earliest top 1s were harder than the ones today
1:10:41 that one didn't age quite so well...
To be fair SCS would've probably place #1 were it not for SpaceUK
@@theoncomingstorm7903cursed and zoink ruined the placement of it also: alright bro we're gonna leave here so you guys blame space hahaha lol
🤓🤓🤓
@@Triplespamlegendsucks Yeah I misremembered, Cursed had "beaten" it at the time he ranked it low IIRC
Watch aod get rated and given #1 now, making this outdated already 😂
Its not rated though
you know a level's hard when a tas needed 2 attempts to beat it
Technically it was actually one. When you run a task, you usually have to open the level, and then play the TAS, which counts as two attempts. So it’s technically one attempt
The fact you predicted sc and edited the video is really cool
I loved the original video, and when I saw this on my recommended, I was extremely hyped, and of course it did not disappoint. However, I was very surprised to see that Hard Machine didn’t make the list as an EX top 1. Unless I am mistaken, I do not believe that it broke any of the rules, and it was considered much harder than ICDX, the top demon at the time of its creation. I understand why it wasn’t considered a top 1 officially, since it wasn’t rated until recently, when Slaughterhouse was number one, but I believe that it should have deserved at least a mention of some sort.
Hard Machine was placed when Tartarus was top 1.
1:03:46 this shit had me dying
wow. I actually can’t believe you left out aod and then edited it back in lmao
i knew something felt off when abyss of darkness was suddenly in the video 😭💀
He predicted another level too 🤫
My opinion firework is a top demon because it was on the number one position for 12 seconds so it counts. Also it is a really cool level
Can we all agree zodiac has the best song ever. It’s soooo good
yeees i love creo sphere
@@judahsheldon3908 yeah I haven’t heard a creo song I don’t like
TL;DR for this comment
I haven't listened to a single song outside of GD! Creo is the god!
listen to a song that isn't in gd. creo - sphere is good but FAR from the best
Unless you're being sarcastic.
@@jolahmapping bro that comment was 2 years ago. Also it was hyperbole, sphere is still probably my fav song I've heard in GD but I wasn't literally saying it the best song of all time.
Stormfly never dissapoints with his uploads
When he's not hatefull to pretty much the whole community, he drops bangers like these. Thanks you, Stormfly.
i beat 111 rg in practice on 1.6 gdps and i love how fucking garbage this looks in 1x speed without me dying on every single percent 10 times
I remembered playing that shout with my brother he had 5234 attempts in Ora at 34 percent
Diabolic ClubStep should've been included it's harder than Tartarus and came out before Slaughterhouse
Shoutout to Stormfly for beating all of these levels just to show their gameplay
44:17 I could swear Erebus was placed #3 on release and was later moved up to #1
you would be correct, thats a mistake of mine
@@Stormfly No worries, you can fix it in the next version of this after the 30 or so 'upcoming Top 1s' have been verified, that is if they get rated.
Also Sonic Wave had been swapped with Yata at the time, which means Erebus took the #1 spot from SW.
I noticed Element 111 RG looks a lot different than before. Potentially new video coming out???
can we give a moment of silence for digital dicent?
good job
"Let me know your opinion in the comments and I won't read them." LMAO
Let's go another Stormfly banger :D
Yes I have been waiting for an updated version from blue but ypu will do
its amazing to watch these videos about old gd history, especially old top demons
1:03:50 someone has probably already said this but Firework was placed at #1 on the demonlist ~20 seconds before Slaughterhouse as well
I just now realized your pfp is a dragon from how to train your dragon
Am I the only one questioning where Unnerfed Paracosm Circles is?
It was definetly considered top 1 at the time

The firework situation reminds me of that "I aint gay, but $20 is $20" meme. It wasn't top one long, but 18 seconds is 18 seconds.
Wait I though you released the original 6 months ago
Life is pain
How has the criteria for deciding what is the hardest demon in the game changed over time?
-"This was the hardest demon ever made"
*-Proceeds to verify the level while talking, 1 attempt*
the video was made with editing
I’m sure a lot of people, myself included, would have loved to see the original version of AA. Shame Anubis’s progress got lost
personally, i thought firework was cool way ahead of its time. i beat a noclip layout with 68% accuracy bc my pc and my phone :( but i only liked because the first nightkilla song in the history of geometry dash wasnt a nc level.
demonicat???
@@valeriewithsalt firework
this is my opinion on firework
hope you don’t read it
I play since May 2014, I remember when demons were disliked, in fact these levels was annoying. Hard and fun levels started in 1.8, older demons are mostly a pain
Would be really cool to see the name of the lvl either the whole time somewhere on the screen or as a "chapter" in the timeline of the video. This would give more attention to the actual lvls' names
Slaughter house > Sakupen circles
I think Firework never was the hardest demon in gd, even tho I think it would have been awesome. It just was the hardest placed on the demonlist for a couple of seconds.
waiting for somebody to make an unfunny back on track joke
And then Slaughterhouse swapped with Sakupen Circles, making Slaughterhouse the current top 1
