The End Of An Era | Congregation by Presta

I still don't feel prepared to write this, but here goes nothing.
This is the longest history I have had with a Geometry Dash level, I started this in December of 2021, aiming for this to be my 11th extreme and hardest as a jump from Black Blizzard, which at the time was my hardest level. At first, things went well, but then reality set in. After fluking to 31%, progress became gradual, and VERY slow, I was only playing once every week and it was eating at me, and worse yet, some sessions wouldn't even get to the 30% range despite giving it my all. It was a horrible idea to jump to this, so I gave it a rest.
It was always on the back of my mind, I didn't know when I'd be ready, and no urge to play it came up, this however, changed when a friend of mine brought up that 2.2 had made the level easier according to some players, which peaked my curiosity. So for the first time in 2 years, I played the level with serious intent, and lo and behold, I get my 3rd ever 42% - 100% run only an hour and a half after returning. At this point I had beaten 30 more extremes, 2 being new hardests since I last played, I was a lot more skilled. A week after this first session back, I returned on stream to get my first ever drop attempt which was pretty surreal, the net stream I somehow passed 50% which... In honesty scared me a little, I passed the hardest drop chokepoint first try, considering getting drop attempts was a new thing to me and my nerve control was absolutely horrible with it at that point, when would I get another run that passes that point? I failed to mention this in the vid, but I put it on hold again after Feb 13th. With my first university semester starting, I didn't want to put too much on my plate, so I instead opted to play Eon as it was slower paced, but I then built up a backlogue of levels I've been holding off on finishing that would lead up to Congregation as my 45th extreme, those being Ddiamond, Dump, and Belloq. As promised, I returned to this level shortly after Belloq, and in just 10 days of starting the level back up, I managed to beat it.
Now that you know the basic story of my time with it, let me cover my experience. I built up this level in my head significantly, much like when I first did Cataclysm, I remembered how it was an old impossible level and that was how I viewed it. Congregation wasn't much different. I remembered it being a cold, unforgiving wall that would need complete perfection to pass. For context, before picking it back up, I had 50,986 attempts and not one drop attempt, so I set my expectations low for my progress upon returning to it. On the day before the completion, I got an astounding 12 drop attempts which furthered my mental significantly, I went from having a heartrate of 145 at the drop to around 120-130 range, as well as being able to focus much better, especially when passing 48%. As stated in the video, on the day that I beat it, I was still holding the mentality that this AT MINIMUM would take another month with how nervous the ending would make me, but alas, I fluked it, and strangely enough, my dad accidentally assisted me. The best explanation I have for the ending is that him entering the room forced me to divert attention to him to tell him to not enter for the moment, which somehow gave room for me to really focus in on the ending, and at that point I realised that it was unlikely I was going to die with how focused I was, I felt like I was in a small run, but knew I was from 0%. Overall this not only has the most strung out story with a level, but my strangest extreme completion that I have done. I'm so happy to have this off my shoulders after almost a 3 year journey, I never thought I would complete this honestly, but god am I proud that I have finally done it.
Finally, would I recommend this? Yes, but do be aware that the predop will hold you hostage for as long as it pleases and you cannot force it not to, you must grow with it. And make sure to be ready for how nervous this level will make you feel, getting to the drop for the first time felt like I was holding the weight of the world on my shoulders and I had to hold it steadily. It does get easier with time, but you need to be aware that it will take awhile.
I can't believe it's over. Thank you all for believing in me. ❤️

I am happy that I was there to see your completion live on stream. Its pretty cool that I followed you on the completion attempt :) It was really insane that you fluked a top 100 demon from 65, It really came out of nowhere lol, GGs!

[@FloofiWan]

LOL that was so surreal, I said "I'll catch up after this attempt" SO INNOCENTLY, NOT KNOWING WHAT LAY AHEAD LMAO, thanks for being there dude :)

[@ShootXGD]

[@Freddy3here]

Wow. I have no words to describe this. You definitely explained everything about this perfectly. Ending a 2+ year journey with the amount of skill you've gained over the years. I'm so glad that it's finally over and you can move on to other projects. GG on Congregation!

[@FloofiWan]

Thank you so much ♥

[@pandox.]

The fact we both picked the level up late 2021 for the first time, dropped it, picked it up years later, had black blizzard as the previous hardest when going for it, both have between 62,600 and 62,700 attempts in total and really enjoyed the level is actually wild. I can totally relate with everything in your description and I'm so glad, you finished that beast off. Huge congratz!!! Btw, did the level feel for you like for others (myself included) also much easier in 2.2 or do you think it just got easier because you had more experience with other extremes before picking it back up? GG again!

[@FloofiWan]

Oh 100% it felt easier, that's dope to see someone had a similar experience (somehow), gg to you as well!!!

[@H4O4Ti]

nearly 3 years in the making. GG

[@MysticalStar09]

You can tell how time has passed by looking at the change of hair

GG MAN!!! Congrats on beating congregation, insane level. Massive journey, that's crazy! You deserved this.

[@FloofiWan]

Ty so much aaaaaaaa

[@Officialahmadandomarshahzad]

GG! You have alot of persistence when you lose and you never mostly seemed to not be happy when you get a new best even if the new best is only by 1%. Well done!

[@FloofiWan]

Very much appreciated, any progress is progress imo, it def gets to me sometimes but I tend to be happy when I can push through, even by singular percentages!!

[@Officialahmadandomarshahzad]

@FloofiWan well u have the right motivation in mind when it comes to playing gd, you will progress further in difficulty and skill when you beat new hardests, and to that I say never give up.

[@Blanca-xo8jt]

this mig be the greatest gd player out there how sane he is

[@FloofiWan]

LOL I doubt, but thank you!

[@Seeathecat]

I still cant believe you beat it so quickly after you returned, GGS!!!!

[@FloofiWan]

Ty!!!

[@Femboy_Alien]

YOU ARE A FKING LEGEND GG

[@racc_racc_]

I was so shocked to see this in my feed, I cannot believe this has been completed after years of dedication. I purely came here to congratulate you immensely Floofi. This has seriously made me smile and I could barely breathe watching this since I have never felt so nervous for someone completing a level. It's insane how fast time goes and I would have never expected this completion to come out since I wasn't up-to-date as of recent and would've assumed you did it in the past. You truly deserve this. BIG GFG !

[@zSpacetundra]

Woah never watched your progress before or anything like that, but this is such a cool achievement (to flex about 😈) also W dad for actually understanding lol
