I've been working on this one fairly intensively for well over a month now, glad to finally have it finished. It's a major improvement over my old list, in more ways than one. I hope you'll enjoy!

as funny as it is to see you place your own level at #4, you’re also completely right so i can’t complain
Hey it’s the tax evasion song guy
Sunset Sandstorm being #1 is the best thing I've heard ever thank you so much
Nhelv
lodin da fish washer
Skyzl W
I can't believe you ranked Killbot as #1, truly shows to how your tatse has developed over the years.
Personally, I think triple six is one of the best extremes in the game. It's a hell level, but in an incredibly unique way that no other level has done, and while I haven't beaten it yet, I've heard that the gameplay is incredibly fun and consistent.
As a triple six victor, it’s incredibly fun and I loved everything about it. I think the reason Wherwin didn’t place triple six and nhelv is because he isn’t a fan of memory but personally I think they’re both amazing.
I have triple six as a hardest right now, and I honestly straight recommend anyone to try it. I enjoyed every bit of it, everything in the second half makes you feel so awesome and its stupid satisfying. Quite the level.
As a man who has spoken to zylenox I can confirm that I think triple six is a good level
I think he probably forgot about it, triple six really should be here
nice pfp
i must say this video is miles better than the previous top 50 video. in the previous one, it felt like you were miserable and constantly negative because you were reviewing content that you didn’t feel all that passionate about. however, in this one, the whole mood feels a lot more laid back and it’s nice to see you talk about levels you genuinely enjoy over levels that you dislike such as the majority of the levels in the top 50 back then. fun video, you’ve grown a ton as a content creator :)
thanks for placing ;3 at #37
this is an amazing list, Black Blizzard and Sunset Sandstorm are two of my favorite extremes
not only that, most of the extremes I'd place high up were mentioned here too
although I'm kinda sad that Super Probably Level didn't get in, it's a really good level too
as much as i liked seeing u dunk on garbage a few years ago i think your analysis of the positive qualities of most of these levels is intruiging
I really appreciate how you've improved as a critic over time. Good video
Shocking this comment didn't consist of "Where is my level"
as a memory enjoyer the lack of nhelv and marathon upsets me a lot :(
Otherwise, the only placements I really disagree with are cybernetic crescent and apollo 11, this list is really nice and I'd never seen Decay before, it looks so cool
the rest I would switch around a lot but everything is mostly in the right place
Well, look at whose video you’re commenting on and you’ll see why there’s almost no memory levels on here
@@masterdoge987 meanwhile The Moon Below and Home makes it onto the two lists that Onvil made, despite both having memory aspects
Nhelv wasn't in the list????? Tf? (Never played it)
i'm really glad to see you like the moon below so much, feel proud of verifying such a meaningful level =)
YO! It's very nice to see back such a big influence to the community back then, and in what a way...
Also, I know you're from another generation of players of the game, but nowadays memory levels, and specifically stuff like Requiem, Killbot, Nightshade or well, Limbo, are considered some of the most fun if not the most fun extreme demons in the game since their gameplay often comes as extremely consistent and well balanced. I know it's a subjective list, but eh, I'd like you to know it considering you come from a time in the community when memory levels were seen badly.
The fact that I didn’t crack the top 50 is kinda an L
literally could not agree more with The Moon Below being #3. Absolutely phenomenal level, with one of (if not) the best atmospheres in the game.
It is by far my favourite extreme demon
Wouldve liked to see BoJ on this list, or at least another techy level like that. Obviously great top 10
Finally somebody understands that Annihilation Nation is a capitalism allegory, I've been trying to convince people for so long
damn I've been watching a lot of your videos recently and I kinda got jumpscared by decay being here. I'm super glad that you liked it enough to place it at 15th, thank you so much! :D
My favorite extreme is N0, which I’ve beaten. I love its sync and how it stands out with how it uses design style. I also think Speedrun could have a place on this list, with its crazy colors and high speeds, it really feels like a speedrun to me.
Also fuck Misty Mountains
Personally, I'd put Retention pretty high up there because it's one of the only extreme demons that's unabashedly fun and joyous, and watching or playing it fills me with a strange optimism and happiness. It's also dated in a very charming way, and the gameplay is very fun.
Good video! I remember watching your original ranking video a few months after it released, and this is a big improvement. Making a purely subjective list is 100% the right way to go, and I think more people need to wake up to the fact that their own rankings of media are not objective in any way lol.
Love this video and your commentary! I'm curious on your favorite insane demons in GD, and I'm hoping one day you'd make a video on your favorite ones too. (If the far sky isnt #1 I will riot)
You left a few of my favorites off so I'm gonna mald in the comments (explain why I like them)
Trueffet: I love the vibe this level gives off. The color scheme is really nice and the designs are all very clean while being very optimized. The gameplay is also ridiculously fun and I think fits with the song perfectly.
Nhelv: It's memory so I can understand why you wouldn't like this one but I love the creative gameplay in it. The effects and song also slap.
Sigma Interface: I think this one is my favorite of the Interface levels even though it was unfinished. The color scheme of purple and yellow you don't see nailed very often which makes it stand out. I am also a huge fan of techy deco styles. It also gives a nice chill vibe making it fun to watch. The level is also fairly easy making it pretty accessible.
Fairly good list over all. Glad to see I'm not the only one that loves Misty Mountains!
I’m so glad that you came back to make this, I remember watching the old one YEARRSSS ago this brought back so many memories, so thank you for that
im so glad that you actually put removed submission in the video
it truly is one of the greates extremes out there
im a sucker for newgrounds and seeing a level with that theme was just crazy to me
not only that but with a song that is not edm and its just hilarious, i absolutely love that level gameplay and deco wise
In case you didn’t know, the thing about Lodin da fish washer is that it tries it’s best to make you think that it has a story while in reality it's the exact opposite. In fact, at the end one of the texts is telling a story and the other one is saying that it's all fake.
awesome video! i love when people make videos about levels theyre actually passionate about, and your (at least from my view) focus on originality led to some really interesting level choices. i do wish that you had been a bit less quick to dismiss painful-looking memory gameplay as bad, especially in the case of nightshade, as most of the victors have said its a blast to play
P.S. because sunset sandstorm is your favorite extreme (based pick i must say), i was wondering what you thought of glide and crohn's new level that he has previewed, called "moving forward". its def one of the projects im most hyped for right now, and really resonated with me emotionally when i saw the preview
MY FAVORITE EXTREME IS #2, I’LL TAKE IT
But in all seriousness, I think this video is a lot better than your older “Top 50 Worst To Best” video. While you did talk about levels you kind of liked at the end, I appreciate a video where you only talk about levels you like. It personally makes for much more pleasurable viewing for me. Granted, the quality of decoration has gone up supremely since the last video (which unfortunately resulted in the quality of the gameplay going down by the same amount), but still. (And the fact that there’s like 4 KrmaL extremes here warms my dark little heart.) Also Removed Submission being #4 is so funny because you’re honestly right. Welcome back to the community, I hope you enjoy the game more than you did a couple years ago :)
Thank you for wild rose 26 😊
I dont even know your thoughts on it tho cuz u barely talked about it or reviewed it LOLL
God damn.
Never thought I’d see you return. I used to binge your older videos back in the day on my DS.
Love the ranking transitions which are the exact same as the previous video .P
This appeared on my recommendation page and I checked out and yeah pretty cool list, you really makes your point on the picks for the best levels even in the cases were I don't agree with a lot, overall this was a good watch and makes me curious about what kind of theming+ gameplay combination you would like to see
Great video. Sad to see the lack of berserk, triple 6, acu and nhelv but you still gave some really good analysis.
The best thing about this is that even if I don’t agree with all the takes in it, the way they’re explained really makes me look at levels in a way I never knew how to. Also, if I had to add a level it’d have to be SPL. The best way to show why I love it is comparing it to its unofficial sequel, MPT. While MPT is a good level in its own right, I think it completely fails as an SPL sequel because it’s trying way too hard to be goofy, and it really just does not work for me. SPL on the other hand strikes that perfect balance between playing it straight and being funny imo.
I genuinely think the bias against memory and the bias for "accessibility" in some parts take a lot away from this list being a good recap of extremes. Honestly memory stops being a big issue with extremes because the learning process is long enough already it's not like it's creating significantly more trouble for you, and levels like killbot or nhelv or nightshade are just objectively good and fun to play. Also I think accessibility is a really unimportant metric when you are making a list about the hardest tier of levels in the game - they are hard. That's the point. Part of the joy of extremes is the level of difficulty you overcome during your time beating the level, for example with Dark Travel it should not be ranked any lower just for being extreme (also each section of this level individually is maybe medium or hard demon so you can just play it in practice). Also I think viewing some levels from a perspective of "this is artistically cool" but then detracting others for gameplay, "this has too much memory," is unfair to the methodology. If you really cared about the gameplay of levels, then you should review them from the perspective of gameplay more often than just to detract points for the mere existence of memory, plus I believe it is downright misleading to actually consider gameplay of levels without at least doing a practice run of them - how are you going to form an opinion on the gameplay elements being enjoyable or not if you haven't touched them yourself?
IMO if you just wanted to look at cool levels then there is no reason for you personally to limit it to extremes.
Ikr like if you’re gonna rate extremes at least be good enough to like practice them
“objectively good” EXTREMELY LOUD INCORRECT BUZZER SOUND
I'm very happy to watch one of these where the person just openly admits to being biased, it's like some people want to project their opinions upon others as if they hold to a specific standard that makes them the correct one, or more objective, and this and that. I'm just glad to hear someone's opinions, it's genuinely very refreshing
I understand you don't like memory, but I think Marathon's theming is really cool to me personally and I really appreciate it for what it is, but I understand it's not for everyone either
I was surprised to not see Daydream here, being my favorite extreme I’ve beaten. But it makes sense compared to all the other levels on this list. There is just a lot of really good extremes in the game.
Great video! Even though I don't agree with some takes (how is congregation that high lol), you still explain your points with actual argumentative information that makes me think twice about my thoughts on each ranking, which I truly appreciate.
Also, as I was watching this, I kept wondering what this list would look like under an extreme demon grinder's perspective, as I noticed that you discounted gameplay in the majority of your explanations. Just some food for thought!
how have i never seen decay that level is cool as shit
I don't know
I know you don't like memory but not putting Triple Six on the list at all is a war crime. Apart from that the list is based, thank you for not putting Nhelv there, I'm tired of everyone who praise this level
i refuse to believe there’s a single human being that thinks nhelv isn’t at least in the top 10 best levels of all time, the music is god tier, gameplay is god tier and literally one of a kind (i’ve beaten it so i can say that), and the decoration is god tier. it is the perfect level, it deserves to be praised
@@Jarran2R 🤓
@@Jarran2R jokes aside, I don't think nhelv is a bad level, it's just overrated. Of course it's better than levels like Aerial Gleam but it has the same problem that Whervin mentioned with storming summit - it is a representation of a musical clip, so nhelv is kinda souless for me. This is why I don't like storming summit neither and this extreme with some kind of castlevania theme, I don't even remember the name, sorry
Ur reference to “Everything at the End of Time” really stuck out to me :)
it feels so weird to be watching a wherwin GD video in 2022 but I'm absolutely loving it
Awesome video also Removed Submission seems fairly placed it's actually really cool and your reasons for your placements are very interesting.
Never agreed more with a list, every pick was perfect and you put my favorite level at #1 :DD
Amazing video!
dang the xo joke caught me so off guard XD. Great video btw, interesting to hear your thoughts on these levels. Keep it up
I mean my personal favourite extreme demon is black flag, mainly due to how it integrates the gameplay and song into the theme as well as the decoration (also since it’s my hardest demon so sentimental value and such). I was also surprised to not see frozen cave on here but overall a pretty damn good list.
I really love this list, each and every one of these extremes slaps in my opinion as well. Be it for the legacy, the gameplay, the atmosphere (my personal favorite aspect of a level), or all around uniqueness and well-roundedness, I love these 50.
Shardscapes is my personal favorite ✌extreme based list man ❤
This list is pretty good, it’s interesting to see your takes, I will say There are levels I would have put aswell like frozen cave, verdant landscape, boj, and limbo, but I can see why they aren’t on here, I also personally wouldn’t have put cybernetic or congregation nearly as high but that’s more of a personal thing, great video, also your criticism was done well
Favorite extreme personally is either Glitched Memories or Freedom08. Great video.
glad you liked the art of the blade, i still cant believe the entire project was done start to finish within a little over a week (INCLUDING verification). it drained a lot of us but putting it out for everyone to see has been worth it
regarding the TERRIBLE memory, we were in a competition where we had to make an extreme in a week that no one else could beat. needless to say we were victorious
i get that but it’s still a valid criticism drive the original context of it is gone
Would you guys be able to update the level so that the memory parts are better?
flattering 😅
I do plan to do a top 10 favorite levels video myself sometime soon and this has certainly given me some motivation
id love to see it!
crohn
Having been a fun of your channel for a long ass time, I really appreciate you making a sort of sequel to arguably your best video ever. Hopefully you continue to making gd content for a while and thanks again for blessing us with this.
time to watch this long awaited video, ive been waiting for that type of content since you quit
i hope you are here to stay! :D
Imo the best verified level in the whole game is Arrow by jacobsucks. Yes, the bad xo sequel. It's not rated and it's not extreme difficulty, but it is BY FAR the most fun I've ever had beating a level and the decoration is an absolute joy to look at. The song is incredible, the gameplay is just out of this world, the structuring is amazing, it's just orgasmic in every way
The best unverified level is Edge of Destiny btw. What is there to say, it has the best decoration ever created and it's not even remotely close.
arrow introduced me to halfalive, such a banger level
the song is the best song ever too
This is so awesome to see you making geometry dash content again!
Sunset Sandstorm is the perfect No.1, there's literally no other valid choice. It's everything that Black Blizzard did right, but done better. I love Sunset Sandstorm it's one of the best levels this game has ever seen and ever will see.
i haven't even started the video and I love it.
So, i have a lot of things to say about this list. I appreciate a lot of the placements but i was genuinely surprised at some of the extremes you didnt put on this list, despite your preference for well executed theming or just general atmospheric visuals. I dont have TOO much to say but i want to know your thoughts on frozen cave? it feels oddly like a hybrid between misty mountains and sunset sandstorm and it just seems like something right up your alley, unique gameplay and well executed theming above all
ayy i appreciate you putting "i never dream" on 21st place :)
loved this video!!!!!!!! i just wanted to ask, what made you want to dismiss the lack of understanding of the symbolism in ouroboros? since i thought that was pretty weird to turn back on from what you said in your video about ouro and i kinda wanna know what you thought about that
its as i said, i think the creators should be free to have their own interpretation, even if a little unimaginative
46 minutes lol
One of my favorite extremes is Halberd, which is incredibly memory heavy and filled with insanely awkward gameplay. However, memory is my favorite thing in this game, and alongside being a huge Kirby fan, learning and executing runs on that level has been some of the most fun I've ever had in this game. It executes its theme amazingly (albeit a little rough here and there when inspected closer), with only one part I'm not a huge fan of, which I can only say for a couple of other levels I've done. Some of my other favorites you didn't mention are troll level (my only extreme so far, loved it), Triple Six, GewErbiX, Marathon, moment, Berserk, of Ambrosia, and The Hell Factory, oddly enough.
Personally EX by ilrell and more is my favourite extreme and level in the game.
The idea of a magical mushroom forest is really cool to me and EX pulls it off perfectly.
Artificial Ascent
Digital Descent
Cybernetic Cresent
All 3 levels' names are 2 words that start with the same letter. Furthermore, the first word in the names of each of the levels can be connected to technology.
Probably a really hot take but Karma is my favorite extreme in the game. The gameplay and the song are absolutely incredible and despite being a layout level, the decoration of the layout is done quite well that you don't even feel like you're playing a layout as you are playing it.
I remember watching you ranking the top 50 back in 2018 this is crazy
i cannot describe my reaction when #1 was ss, still great video, this created a great comparison with the old one to show how much your content has improved, this was entertaining the whole way through
Though I completely understand why you wouldn't like it, Idols would definitely be in my top 50. To me, it's a rare instance where the chaotic megacollab "no clear theme" style fits with the nature of the song, even if that might not have been intentional. also great video!
your so wrong imo
Nice video!
Woah the commentary makes it sound like you're actually having fun
banger video and very glad that you're back to making GD content
Would have loved to see Glide by crohn44. The way the levels feels to play is so satisfying and on top of that the themeing is really nice. It really nails the feeling of flying
very well done video. i think some of the takes here are rather weird (abp)
my favourite (VISUALLY) extremes have to be black flag and nhelv
i've never heard a more perfect link between two completely unrelated things like sunset sandstorm and cactus juice
It’s a war crime That Requiem by Zylenox isn’t on this list
I think Acu should be on here because of the gameplay, sync and the way the effects and color changes are executed
Also SuSan at 1# is so based
nah. acu is cool, but the levels on here do it better.
The sync in acu is absolutely brilliant
And the gameplay is just fun
ok but did you just put ultrasans above dark odyssey
"the best nine circles level is nine circles" never heard a more true statement in my life
thanks for putting shardscapes at #17 :)
Verdant Landscape is my favorite level in the game, followed by Limbo and Ocular Miracle, which I am fully aware the OC is unrated and I choose to not care.
made me sad to not see my beloved cellar path :( or black flag .. but the levels that were ranked i cant disagree with the order they were placed in
Nice list. But look at the cellar path by Jamattack. Its for me personally such a great level but it sadly doesn't have much attention
Really great video !
I wish Artifice was at least in the decent tier just because how the gameplay really matches greatly with the song.(but that's just my opinion). The deco isn't the best thing ever of course but I really love the atmosphere of it, that's combined with the song which is the best factor, the gameplay and the deco.
What’s the name of the levels in the intermission?
what do you think about cellar path
i love that wherwin is a lot less cynical then he was like 4 or so years ago (not to say he wasnt fun to watch back then ive always enjoyed your videos) but i love that he still kept some of those cynical elements in his videos. just less saturated
I'm glad you admitted that your list was completely subjective and obviously bias.. People trying to find an "objective" ranking of the levels is just completely stupid and uninteresting and it's genuinely just much more enjoyable to watch someone's personal favorite levels instead since everyone is different and it's fun to see what every individual person has to say about what they like about levels rather than arguing with people about what levels they think are the best or whatever.
This video was really cool and fun to watch and I can't wait for future uploads:)
where would you put edge of destiny if that comes out?
34:25 this is what i would imagine if Juniper took me to visit Wulzy
My favourite extreme would probably be glide, it looks phenomenal and uses less objects than xo. The only gripe I have with the level is the spider part, although that's because of the gameplay rather than the design.
I also think niflheim is up there, it has aged super well and there's only 1 part I think is out of place decoration wise, being the grey part from 40% to about 52%. Gameplay wise I think it's also really fun apart from a bug here and there and some questionable gameplay.
For extremes that are out of my skill range, some extremes i am a fan of (that you havent mentioned) are hatred, oblivion, nhelv, and not necessarily because of the decoration, I just think those levels are really cool
I have a terrible taste in levels what can I say :P
It’s always a good day whenever WHErwin uploads
good job shitting on nightshade with literally 0 basis besides "i don't like memory therefore this level is IMPOSSIBLE to enjoy"
I’m just gonna run through the extremes that I have personally beaten or have progress on because why not (also that’s like barely any still).
Niflheim: Pretty much everything said about A Bizarre Phantasm could also be said for Niflheim. I see a couple possible shortcomings to Niflheim but A Bizarre Phantasm has some of those too. Also the last cube of Niflheim has such an atmosphere when playing it I’m in love with it. But overall I personally prefer Niflheim to ABP in that role
Artificial Dream: This is probably one of the most painfully early 2.1 extreme demon there is, though it works fine. You can tell the most important part of this level is the gameplay though.
Precipitance: Probably one of the most meh extremes out there all things considered. It’s not offensive (unless you count offensively basic), but it doesn’t do much either.
Brimtanic Paradise: This level is so freaking carried by song in terms of the non gameplay experience. The visuals are ok, nothing exceptional but the song really helps the suspense, especially towards the end, and it works with the visuals to create mostly interesting parts.
Anahita: Atmospheric and with great decoration. This level is really good visually, though it is beginning to show a bit of age, particularly due to the rather static structures in some parts and a couple parts that are a little out of place, but otherwise very good. Though I would say that the existence of Black Flag which does a similar style but with better movements probably banished this level into the shadow realm of not exceptional enough
Whoa Zone (also known as the Space Graveyard)
Sad to see Nhelv didn't make the list, I think it has amazing atmosphere and is just one of a kind with its innovative deco and gameplay, but at least sunset sandstorm was high up.
Is nice how the two well-known extremes that use Outlaw use it very well
YOOOO WHERWIN GEOMETRY DASH IS BACK!!!
Bro put MISTY MOUNTAINS over Broken Signal…
I still think verdant should have been on the list but I not gonna throw a fit over it. Overall good list even if abp was way too high.
shivering from excitement
cold in this room
i see you
I think Zettabyte should be on this list, because in my opinion it masters the technological vibe, the music is great, and it is pretty fun, thats why it is one of my favorite extremes, however I completely agree with the entire WoahZone
the goat is back bro
I am a little disappointed that “super probably level” didnt make it but seeing how you were saying memory levels aren’t your cup of tea it’s understandable. Pretty good list otherwise :)
Decay at 15 is giga based holy
