New HARDEST Celeste Map!! | The Solar Purgatory

READ ME
DO NOT WATCH IT IF YOU DON'T WANT MAJOR SPOILS
The Solar Purgatory, by ZKB (me) : gamebanana.com/mods/496206
This video isn't a clear video. This is a solve video to show the routes. That's why the two last rooms are segmented
This map mixes two emblematic Grandmaster maps from the Strawberry Jam Collab (The Solar Express, by Soloiini | Pinball Purgatory, by Maya)
It's definitely on the top 5 hardest maps and is seriously debated to be the new hardest one. A perfect mastering of the Theo Crystal is required to progress throughout the rooms. A few more techs are taught there.
Participant of the project:
Freeka, as musicien. The Full OST is available here : • The Solar Purgatory OS...
Esteb74, Chirazen, Kirbo74 and Meikaina Kibô, as Playtesters.
Roi Lapin, as trailer maker.
Shoutouts to Chirazen, Viridity and Mei, that made some clips for the video. I lagged to much to rec get the end of the 5th room, and beating the berry and the last room would take too long despite I had to release a video earlier as possible.

babe wake up new subpixel dependent tech just dropped

Hell gym but it's not the gym anymore

Hell lobby

[@Geitungur]

I want this to be the hardest solely because screw "hahaha 500 setupless theodrops in a row" is funnier than "hahaha 500 setupless spikejumps in a row"

[@ericeric368]

what do you mean by setupless theodrops?

[@Geitungur]

​@@ericeric368I can't actually understand any of the tech in this map so I just said something that _sounded_ like it could be theo tech

this is so fucking peak absolutely incredible man

[@ThreeletterIGN]

I’ve beaten a 1 star hardlist map and a tier 7 golden and I still have no clue what’s happening most of the time

[@moldypieceofbread2434]

theo gameplay!!

[@meta04]

2 star (GMHS) and tier 4 (Nelumbo) and uhh I can kind of understand what's actually going on here but also lolnope on actually playing it just yet

[@Nip403]

Wow the end regrabs are just evil lmao final room should be a criminal offence

[@globglogabgalabyeast6611]

I love that this actually uses dream jump dream hypers! I figured them out myself and then later realized that TASers actually use them frequently for optimizing dream hypers. Nice to see an RTA use (even if it's in the arguably hardest map)

[@woxens-0]

I want this to be the hardest map simply because it would mean ZKB made both maps on the top and bottom of hist, not counting dmr

[@ZKBceleste]

hist is sandwiched :)

[@tbf79alexis]

Enfin une vraie map pour débutant qu’on peut jouer après 7A sans gym d’abord!

[@Mitsera]

this is so fucking cool hello????? really well done on this map ZKB you cooked hard with this!

[@icevirtue]

This literally looks like the bloodbath of celeste. Except it's probably 10x harder than bloodbath.

[@sfericzox2932]

@ero1984that would be D1D7 (its bad and unbalanced)

[@sugardude]

10x is a HUGE understatement

[@alephzero1984]

Avernus of celeste maybe

[@leopoldsega1302]

Cet homme a pété un câble, t'es MONSTRUEUX ! La map est vraiment incroyable et la dernière partie du niveau est complètement folle ! Un grand bravo

[@Knetterkoekje]

How many people would be able to complete this XD? This looks near impossible to complete, absolute madness :o

[@ZKBceleste]

actual hardest have 18 clears. It's too many for a top 1. Things have to change

[@gdmathguy]

​​@@ZKBcelesteok then this will get 17 clears.

Incredible level, y'all did an amazing job

[@ghowost_toast_js]

I absolutely adore the asthetic of this map

[@BulleTRiP]

Incroyable. La mise en scène, la musique, la déco, le gameplay... Tu continues de repousser les limites de ce qui est possible, c'est aberrant, un peu effrayant, mais qu'est-ce que c'est beau... Je ne toucherai probablement jamais à cette map mais je suis subjugué par le travail accompli. Bravo et merci ❤️

[@ZKBceleste]

merci de tout coeur !

[@smaster9758]

This is nuts bro. Can’t wait for someone to clear it

[@Dertubiz_]

Nice ! GL pour le clear !

[@worldoftoys3642]

Finally, a video which doesn't say the hardest celeste map is Dashless+!

[@ZKBceleste]

yesss

[@jessbian3385]

This is awesome, but so scary I fear for the moment you stand at the Pearly Gates. Can someone who makes such a monstrosity be welcomed into the holy kingdom?

[@sugardude]

I feel like this is the ultimate theo madness. I hope I could appreciate the intricacies of everything - gameplay, routing, tech combinations, inputs - but not capable to do so at this moment. I haven't played Celeste for a long time, but might try your WH hopefully to be educated enough to assess this insanity 😁

[@ZKBceleste]

Have a good time on White Hole :hugeline:

le dieu du gameplay theo, gg

[@Its_MarsBars]

Okay maybe I’m not at the skill level to understand this but like I just started my first red gm and I’m pretty sure this is impossible

[@ZKBceleste]

Rule 1 of Celeste: Never underestimate the community 🤓

[@Its_MarsBars]

@@ZKBceleste I have been made VERY aware of that, but… god DAMN this is beyond me. That’s some absolutely stellar work on this mod.

[@sugardude]

as a fellow red gm player, it's crazy to think about just how far we still are from these extreme maps. say this is red gm+2, then we're about two difficulty category apart. we're like advanced player watching gm maps 💀

[@dimaginarylaw]

I don't know if it's intended but the ending narration was kinda funny to me because of the puns

[@Cera_01]

The level is amazing. It does give 2017 GD vibes and I'm not sure how to think of that though.

[@sans_exfiance]

cool. when is the heartside room dropping

[@SuspiciousTemmie]

I don't know enough about Theo gameplay to understand what's going on, but looking at the inputs makes me scared

[@BGDMusic]

i'm mixed on this map because of what went into it but i think it worked out and we ended up with something super silly which ultimately that's all i ask

[@yuvalgonen9261]

4:16 red light isn't aligned with the light bulb, also, Sumber!
