how i beat an extreme demon even though im bad

a bit of a different video i know. any feedback is appreciated.
this was genuinely a lot of fun and i really do enjoy this game. im taking a lil break from it right now but i definitely wanna grind another level like this again sometime in the future. i know this is a different video but im still a small channel and i don't know exactly what i want to post yet. im just gonna experiment a lil bit. i hope it was still somewhat entertaining for anyone who hasn't got a clue what im talking about.

anyone beating their first extreme is exciting. my first extreme was artificial ascent which was top 92 at the time when i beat it. it was a 6 month journey but eventually pulled through. love that level. gets a 10/10 from me. afterwards i went for rust while toe2 was my 5th hardest. eventually i beat that too. then went for oblivion and dropped it after a year cuz of school and not having the time to grind the game like before. burnt myself out so now i just dropped the game entirely pretty much. pretty happy with my 3 year gd progress.

good job! no matter what rating label people decide to categorize acu into, just know you beat a very very hard level and you should be proud of that, no matter what. its a good level too, so its a good gateway into the extreme demons either way. big ggs, hope to see you play more gd!

[@imnotbrodie]

i will be playing more gd it seems. ill defo beat a level that is 100% extreme, no questions asked

gg on acu and your first extreme! when I tried to beat it I died at 97 twice which was kinda funny but I ended up beating it too

[@imnotbrodie]

97 is cursed

[@DeJay7]

What the hell my furthest death was 95 and even that was bad, it was 85-90 that destroyed me way way more.

[@dafurious6457]

I've literally died in the exact spot thats on the thumbnail lmao i got 95%, 97%, and 98%x2 and after about 9 months of having 98% i finally beat it in january of 2023. it took me 22k attempts, and to this day it is the hardest level ive beaten. I jumped to it from The Furious, which is a hard demon but imo is harder than windy landscape so I think it should be an insane. Its really cool to see other people play and beat this level as a new hardest. Congrats on your completion, and I wish you luck with whatever you decide to do afterwards :)

[@videogamermega]

congrats, you're a gd youtuber now! GG on your first extreme. I beat Acu as my first extreme and in less than 2 months my hardest was Prismatic Haze. If you just keep playing, you can improve at a crazy rate! But if you ever get tired of a level, please, take a break. That's some of the most valuable advice there is. GL!

prismatic haze has been on my list for a bit now so I'll defo get round to it at some point

[@smallxplosion9546]

For some reason I can barely do Acropolis, it feels impossible, even though I beat Acu and got 64 on Hypersonic (both extremes)

[@imnotbrodie]

the first 18 percent feels like an extreme and the rest feels like a hard demon so I guess thats what makes it an insane..?

[@spidertato1]

thanks this video really helped me i thought id be the only one doing this spending too much time to beat harder levels and its been demotivating me but after watching this i feel like i can do better awesome video 👍

Im glad im not alone in being bad for a long time. Like hearing it took you like 8 years to beat your first medium makes me feel not so alone. Of course youve beaten an extreme and stuff now. But I've been playing this game for around 8 years and am barely working on my first medium. Been dropping the game pretty frequently. But this gives me some hope and motivation that maybe i could make some more progress if i really put my mind to it!

[@dogjak]

GG. Feels relieving to see longtime players who are just starting to break out like myself. Been playing since 1.4 and took a 5 year break before 2.2 released and I've been grinding ever since. I beat The Behemoth as my first medium demon back in February. After going for more medium and hard demons, and even a few insanes, I'm now going for Sigma Interface, my first extreme.

[@imnotbrodie]

i love how everyone has their own unique path to an extreme in this game, I wish you luck!

[@kartauto]

I started playing acu a year ago i think (wow it has been long) and my hardest is still nine circles, i got 77% in the first 2 months and then i just struggled with motivation, i played it for like 2 days every month because i was just so demotivated and i still havent beaten it, im currently at 17k attempts because of my on and off playing. I even tried bloodbath and i got somewhere around 50% after 6k attempts and now im at around 10k attempts and im still not motivated to beat anything. I just really want to jump to a difficult level for some reason but that has ruined my motivation for the game sadly. thanks for coming to my ted talk or something idk but good job beating acu!

[@imnotbrodie]

maybe play a few insane demons first, or even more hard demons. i know its kinda demotivating to jump around (hence my dropping of the game multiple times) but its all about perseverance. you got it man

[@smallxplosion9546]

50 on Bloodbath in only 6k is insane

[@Wbcoolguy78]

this is surprisingly similar to my path to my first extreme, i played years ago before 2.1, dropped the game and picked it back up again abt a year later, beat some easy and medium demons, beat nc and future funk, beat magma bound and ff ii, then finally went for maybe possibly thing (which btw is 100% should not be at 600 on the all rated demon list) which i eventually did, going for bloodbath rn and i have 33-96 somehow. gl on ur future lvls

[@Wbcoolguy78]

also i 100% recommend maybe possibly thing, its one of the most fun lvls ive played (its a memory lvl just incase u dont wanna play one)

[@baileyyyyyyyyyyyy]

good job!! ive been playing since around id say 2017ish (i did have some experience with the game in 2015) and funnily enough i only beat my first insane demon earlier this year (which was duelo and ive beaten it two different times since) and ive wanted to beat an extreme for quite a while.

[@imnotbrodie]

you gotta just commit to it! i reckon you can do it (just ignore the attempts counter because everytime I checked a part of me died inside)

3:13 Acropolis is like rlly hard imo like Hard insane demon difficulty (way harder than windy, supersonic, etc.) but idk maybe we have different skillsets Also 3:37 damn you and I must have different skillsets to the rest of the community because most ppl find the beginning to be the hardest part but I find it to be one of the easiest and ig you do too? So that's cool Also damn this is a rlly unique video, as opposed to most gd youtubers (ik you're not rlly a gd youtuber but whatever) you have mostly talking after the fact instead of highlights, which is nice to see!

Don’t you just love that feeling when the KZbin algorithm, of its mysterious and convoluted ways, summons from the dark a channel with under a mere thousand subs to its name - a channel with better editing, storytelling and and personality than most Gold Play Button-sub channels? You sometimes wonder what leads one to this point, what force of nature miraculously connects both viewer and channel in an act of what some would describe as fortune, and others as deserved fate. Coincidence? Possibly. Destiny? Maybe. But in truth, the only thing that matters is the fact that it happened, and we should capitalise on such an infrequent and fortunate opportunity. TLDR: Subbed.

[@imnotbrodie]

[@DeJay7]

"Corporate needs you to tell the difference between this picture and this picture" [brodie] [me] Okay, literally everything he said is so REAL and very accurate. Playing when he was a kid, beating his first medium demon after many years of "playing" (classic), starts with Nine Circles levels (that's literally me, my 2nd demon was Nine Circles and then just beat Jawbreaker and Fairydust [and later Poltergeist and Nine CircleX] casually [if you haven't, NEVER PLAY NINE CIRCLEX) so there's little to no improvement, my first insane demon was Supersonic, which was, well, not wave carried, that was my most miserable week of my life almost (please find levels you actually enjoy, I wouldn't recommend Supersonic even to my worst enemy holy was that BAD). Then, well, like brodie and a LOT of other people, I found Acu. "Music is nice, it's visually stunning, I've heard it's very easy for an extreme demon, doesn't LOOK TOO bad", and just a practice run after I couldn't possibly see myself beating that entire level in one run. Yeah, guess what. 13 days later I had beaten the level (with... way too many attempts [24095]). I was still arguably really bad, only really consistently "good" at wave and even then mediocre, the truth is you don't NEED to be really good to play such levels, you just need to FOCUS on ONE level and practice properly. Skill is a whole different thing. And I say that because I am currently trying to beat a top 150 demon (Ourwa). Uhm, my hardest is top 700 and have TRIED Bloodbath and couldn't be bothered beating it because it's "hard", what the fuck am I doing? But, AGAIN, Bloodbath is TRASH, and playing a level you don't enjoy is torture. Whereas Ourwa is way, WAY harder technically, but it's one of the most fun levels to play and really consistent, and I'm hoping to beat it in like 2 weeks (something like 40k attempts by the end? good enough for me). I'm in no way a player who can beat extended list demons, yet here I am am about to beat one. That's for my yap session, hope you found it in any way motivational, and I can guarantee anyone who's "good" at the game (has beaten a few extremes harder than Acu/Cataclysm) would enjoy playing Ourwa and very possibly beating it with enough grind, motivation and determination, because that's all I have, bare minimum skill required. As for brodie, I would highly recommend the level Make It Drop by ryamu (yes, the Acheron guy). It's a very easy extreme demon, in my opinion easier than Acu but it heavily depends on experience. The two ship parts (at 18% and ~90%) are questionable, but everything else is super consistent and very satisfying to pull off, and the level is visually stunning, I WISH I had a better monitor to enjoy it more, but I swear, with a good monitor you'll really like it. Just do NOT go into it thinking you'll have an easy time just because you beat Acu, the first time you learn a level it very often crushes you, just be confident, that's all.

[@imnotbrodie]

thanks for the comment! thats true about the jumping into another extreme thinking im the man lmao. ive gotten over that already though and im back to learning. ill be sure to check it out!

[@Lil_NoobieGMD]

Yo, I’m glad to hear you beat an extreme!! I’m actually jumping from an easy demon to acu, So again congrats and wish me luck on my jump!!! ;D

[@imnotbrodie]

good luck i believe!

[@Lil_NoobieGMD]

@@imnotbrodie Thanks for believing in me!! Today is my 5th day and I have like runs that together make like 40% already!!! ;P

[@imnotbrodie]

almost halfway already! it's practically finished lmao

[@Bloempotteke]

I literally have the same progress ladder as you. I went from nine circles to windy landscape and then to acu. Took me 11415 attempts but still, beating your first extreme is probably the most exiting thing you'll ever achieve in this game. Good shit.

[@imnotbrodie]

such a good feeling man

[@dareal_roizy]

The feeling of a level being easier than what it’s rated is my biggest weakness, my hardest as of now is Anarchy Road, a hard demon, at the time it was an insane demon because people like to vote demons incorrectly very often, and I felt like it was deserving of the rating, but then I watched Viprin’s completion of the level, where he said it was a medium demon, instantly felt awful when I read that, and even worse, the level got rerated to hard, now I’m trying to "jump" to Kitty, a level that people consider a pretty tough hard demon that’s close to being insane, 30% and ~77-100 iirc

[@imnotbrodie]

i think i say these things because i genuinely don't think it's possible that im at that level yet. maybe im way better than what i think but can't convince myself i am

[@TripodV3VO]

gg dude, you should try crowd control, but it’ll be a challenge for sure

[@imnotbrodie]

will have a look see thank you!

[@Qortexgd]

Crowd control is a level that I spent quite a bit of time practicing. It has a very challenging wave early in the level, but everything after that is around Acu difficulty so I would recommend!

[@jaimepacocinha282]

this game brings you some very unique emotions, it feels so strange beating levels you thought were impossible back when you started playing

[@imnotbrodie]

yea i love the feeling when you can tell you've improved, the disbelief is unreal

[@brunomartino4543]

We're pretty much the same. My hardest level was a medium demon for a while. Then i just randomly decided to get good and went nine circles, future funk, leyak, and finally acu within a few weeks. Working on bloodbath right now. I have 71% and a 10% to 90% run. Anyone can get good at this game if you are determined enough lol

[@imnotbrodie]

hell yea, good luck on bloodbath

[@WindyGMD]

I would definitely recommend getting Geode(mod) which gives you access to a ton of mods including one of the best mods click between frames( go watch doggie gds vid on why its so good) and for a next extreme / insane i would recomend : glisten , ILOVECYAN , or lost myself :)

[@neprao]

GG! i dropped acu when i got 98% because of demotivation and now im skipping 500~ levels in the aredl (acu is around 950 in the list), and now im playing hot rod and having some nice progress of 85%, also jumping from an insane

[@imnotbrodie]

good shit man i aspire to be this brave lol

[@MangoBoy72]

Good job, I hope I can beat acu soon too

[@imnotbrodie]

you definitely will and can!

[@JustHaruna22]

as a acu beater seeing u say the beginning its probably the easiest part i wanna cry now (i beta acu in 5k atts)

[@JustHaruna22]

Ty for like

[@Neo-Speedy]

Yoo GGs! Nice work! I'm still going for my first insane (demon), and I have 3 hard demons completed. I haven't really found an insane demon that I like/want to beat, but I will try.

[@imnotbrodie]

i wish you luck

[@Sicira]

Great video! I had a very similar journey to you, found out about windy landscape years ago and wanted to beat it at some point, and jumped from it to Acu (while taking breaks from the game many times). I beat Decay by Kiwipenguin after Acu; I'd highly recommend it. It's a very unique extreme, but incredibly well done and very satisfying to play. I also want to beat Kiwipenguin's other levels at some point, they're all very unique

[@imnotbrodie]

ooh a new one I'll have a look. thank you!

[@cernick2116]

very good video i enjoyed this a lot

[@imnotbrodie]

thank you!

[@GD.WINTER]

Beat Avernus it's one of the easiest Extreme Demons, and the Gameplay is really fun! On a serious note though, Bloodbath could be your next as it has some easy and some hard parts and the music is really good. Will definitely stay around watching your streams and videos!

[@imnotbrodie]

thank you! think ima save bloodbath for later as my skill level is still nowhere near but it'll be a huge day when I do beat it 😎

[@GD.WINTER]

@@imnotbrodie Yeah that's okay, but when you do beat it; Use Vortrox's method!

[@mintu5931]

GG! This was my first extreme demon too, after beating cataclysm I also dont really know if it extreme or insane lol

[@imnotbrodie]

everyday i think "man that felt too easy for an extreme" but i remember the feeling before having the level learned and that reminds me that its defo bottom of the barrel extreme (for now)

[@mintu5931]

@@imnotbrodie I had a similar experience with it. Around 2 years ago I tried the level and spent 5000 attempts, and after that I quit and dropped the game. I didn‘t get far, but after I came back to the level, which is a few months ago, I beat the level in 2 days.

[@MaZe_LaZeRGD]

02:43 i'd say the hardest part of acu is the start, you get consistent "somewhat" but it stilll for me feels harder, very interresting seeing this from a perspective somewhat simular to mine, i started in 2014 and got good in 2021 lol

[@imnotbrodie]

also started in 2014 i think! yea i was pretty solid at the beginning before i even considered beating the level fully so thats probably why for me

[@doodlematt7246]

I am also one of those gd veterans who have been playing for 8 years and dropped the game like 20 times. Spend 5 years on easy demons, a year on medium demons. And holy shit now I have 3 insane demons under my belt.

[@imnotbrodie]

we're gonna take over >:)

[@kimmerrzz]

congratulations on the completion!! 15k attempts as a jump from windy landscape is not bad at all :) i jumped from bloodbath (top 500) to congregation (top 90) so i get the struggle of jumping lol. If you decide to come back to the game it would be super cool to see you beat more levels!! new sub here :3

[@imnotbrodie]

it seems i will be coming back to gd because of the response to this video so be on the lookout >:)

[@tazorface6871]

ACU is my hardest level as well and while it is one of the easier extreme demons it still very well deserves that title. ACU took me about 9,900 attempts and the hardest insane demon I’ve beaten took me roughly 2,600. Congrats on the completion!

[@imnotbrodie]

thanks!

[@sillygoober155]

you inspired to make me get back into playing acu and the day i started playing it again i beat it so uh tysm

[@imnotbrodie]

GG

[@astermaroon9336]

where are your subscribers? you're really underrated, keep going! and geometry dash is awesome, it's all about perseverance

[@imnotbrodie]

my subscribers seem to be appearing suddenly after this video. maybe gd is my calling 😂

[@improbablyfur]

@@imnotbrodie the deep calls..

[@imnotbrodie]

WHAT DOES THIS MEAN

[@spencer3443]

i jumped from hard demon to bloodbath and this feels the exact same. good vid

[@imnotbrodie]

thats a hefty jump wow gg

[@mrsimplerr]

I suggeat using the geode mod if you are not using it already. It is basically an intergrated mod downloader where with a click of a button you just install 1 mod to the game and there are plenty of mods. There's one specific mod called "Click Between Frames" which is pretty self explanetory and it assists the player a lot. It's not fully approved by RobTop, but major members of the commhnity such as the Pointercrate Demon List Team and the All Rated Extreme Demon List (a.k.a. AREDL) team.

[@Credd1]

We are the exact same! I play the game on and off every few years, and had the same progression: nine circles -> windy landscape -> acu. Acu is still my only extreme. I don’t really know what to do on gd so I’ve been playing other games

[@imnotbrodie]

literally me man, i wanna get good though. i might just fully commit to this whole youtube thing

[@cyv1324]

I love gd and I enjoyed this video a lot, nice work! btw your opinions on difficulty are so strange lol, for me acropolis is way harder than windy landscape, acu was my first extreme too btw (well thanatophobia but that got demoted to insane)

[@imnotbrodie]

i had to spark some controversy >:)
