The Level That Changed Geometry Dash Forever...

What is the level that changed Geometry Dash forever? Over the years, many GD levels have come and gone. The current top 1 and all the past hardest demons like Sonic Wave, Bloodlust and Yatagarasu have all had crazy impacts in Geometry Dash, but one stood out from the rest. One takes the crown as the most influential GD level of all time. This is the story of Bloodbath by Riot and more.

Been a while, right? Well I hope this one was worth it! Tried going back to my old docmentary styled videos so I hope you like it. Spent a lot of time on the script as well as the video :D Bloodbath has always been a level I liked and to this day the verification of Bloodbath still amazes me, so I decided to make a video on it :)

[@EREnder]

Bloodbath has been one of my favourite levels of all time and I finally got around to making a video on it, hope you enjoy :) I'd appreciate it if you watched it all the way through to see how much this one level has really achieved and how much it means to everyone!

PS Love it ;)

[@mrsillytacos]

Honestly Bloodbath isn't dead. It's literally the 2nd most played demon in GD lmao

[@ElBassTrombone]

Riot should be happy on the impact he made on the community. Now his other level Acheron is sitting on top 1 hardest level in the game and honestly he should be proud on what he has done. I could never thank riot more for what he has done for this game.

[@EREnder]

Riot definitely is a pioneer for difficulty and its actually kinda crazy he is still impacting top demons even tho it may not be through competing them

[@ethawalli]

Did y'all forget Tartarus as well? He's had top ones for so long!

[@David-cm4yz]

Bro got cata (top 1), icdx (thought to be top 1), bloodbath (verified top 1), sonic wave race (almost verified top 1), helped build tartarus and acheron (both top 1)

[@smogblazer4509]

Acheron is ryamu’s, not riot’s. Riot worked on Acheron, but he left and is no longer involved with it

[@EREnder]

@@smogblazer4509 I mean riot started it tho I think or at least was involved with it tho you are right

[@TrideGD]

I'm definitely not alone in saying that bloodbath has had a huge impact on me playing the game. It's a legendary level for sure, and this video did a really good job of telling it's story. Banger video dude, good job!

[@TheLastGame666]

Riot, the legendary player, one of the best players of all time and the one who aspired thousands of players to continue pushing the skill limit. Bloodbath, the legendary level, will always be my favorite level for how impactful it is and how much it kept me pushing further in this game.

[@EREnder]

its truly a test of skill :)

[@jayzerbeam9733]

Plus the song is an absolute BANGER

[@Tmitric]

Cyclic: I was the most convincing hacker! SpaceUK: Nah, I'd win.

[@acheron720]

actually cyclic wasn't hacking for the most part, he just hacked the sonic waves so ig that's why he was so convincing we can also see how he was in a star-grinding race with SaRy at the very beginning of the game's history and lost BRUTALLY. so a lot of his accomplishments are probably not hacked

[@ickaruus4909]

that editing is amazing, love your music choices!

[@EREnder]

Thx so much!

[@beem4248]

As someone who was active only from 2014-early 2016, this video was very well presented and was incredibly nostalgic and fun to relive the events of my time in the community. The one thing I feel you missed was setting the stage on how Gboy hacked Cataclysm, and how that pushed the whole community to want to figure out who was really number 1. Since we all knew Cyclic was on the leaderboards, but players like Sary, Michigin🙏, and Riot were all possible contenders.

[@EREnder]

I'm super glad you enjoyed it! I get what you mean and I wanted to add more info overall but it was hard to fit it in a concise cohesive timeline tho I def get what you mean

As a player who lived the time when bloodbath was thought impossible, and that is currently fighting against this beast, it has been so nostalgic to see this travel again.

its a really hard level, i really hope you pull through and complete it!

As someone trying to get the run from Etzer to the end I can definitely see myself failing at 95% or 97% percent from 0. Good luck finishing it off.

Damn I didn’t know there was a history behind Bloodbath. I thought it was an insanely hard level but the way you put together the timeline, it was so entertaining yet suspenseful. Good job Ender for putting this video and beating Bloodbath! Mad respect to people who beat any Extreme Demon.

[@EREnder]

Thx so much! There's actually a lot to this level, and frankly to most top 1 levels. Gd has some of the most interesting history of any game imo and I always try to share as most as I can with it

This level means a lot to me because of how much history it has, and how much of an interesting story it went on to create after its verification. Which this video is a fantastic talk of what lead up to it, what happened after and what we moved on to be. As well as that, Bloodbath means a lot to me as a level as beating it back in 2017, when it was 10th on the list, made me feel accomplished, even if it wasn't #1 I still felt impressed with myself.

[@EREnder]

Glad you think so :) and wow thats impressive, ggs :)

Holy crap this editing and stuff is amazing. I remember i was like 7 or 8 when riot beat BloodBath, and i would keep watching the verification video on his channel, absolutely stunned that someone could do anything like that, while i couldn't even beat dry out XD This video was genuinely amazing. Loved every single second of it

[@EREnder]

Bloodbaths verification video is to this day one of the few that still gives me some chills from me remembering how hard I thought it was when it first came out. Glad you enjoyed the video :)

[@chaoticidiot1813]

I like how riot ended up making tartarus as the "ultimate challenge" that was "near humanly impossible" And it was, for a while, until the players became more impossible themselves. But in all honesty, it just shows how this part of the community is. A hell of a lot of determination, and constant innovation to push the boundaries. Mad respect

[@EREnder]

For sure, it's constantly about pushing the limits to the next level
