Requiem (Extreme Demon) by Lithifusion | Geometry Dash

Another memory List Demon down and this time I had a rather lucky experience with it which makes it even better!


I have always been a big fan of Requiem ever since I saw the level getting rated last year however due to my computer being significantly worse than it is right now physically couldn't play the level at all. Now that I could I took it on and I got to say that it was definitely worth it. Requiem is definitely a weird level to grasp at first but against common belief I didn't find it too learny. In fact it didn't take me more than 4 hours to have fully learnt the level. I learnt it as followed:

- Making a layout version and getting as many runs as possible on it. This helps you understand the weirdness of the gameplay and further helps with getting the click patterns and muscle memory down without having to deal with the large amount of visual impairing decoration.

- Slowly learning part by part on the actual level. It is not necessary to do big runs (especially runs to 100%) because all that matters is that you get consistent with the gameplay and get a feel of the chokepoints before the last UFO. Weave in and out of the layout version if you still struggle with some parts of the gameplay

- Once confident enough only return to the layout version if you absolutely don't understand what you are doing wrong. At this point you play from 0 and try to kickstart the completion process.

Requiem is one of the most consistent levels I have played IF the level works. Now it would be too sweet if the level was functional however there are a couple of issues that I need to address. First of all the drop transition is just fundamentally broken so you have to do an input before you even enter the drop which takes quite a while to get used to and even then it isn't very consistent. It isn't that huge of an issue eventually since the predrop is EXTREMELY easy so you get to the drop almost every single attempt anyway. Secondly the transition into the 48% wave spam is something I never really understood. Sometimes it worked, sometimes it didn't work. Lastly, in 72% there is a slope that is supposed to push you into the block gap that sometimes just DOESN'T MOVE and immediately kills you on impact. I died ten times to it which is rather sad. If you get rid of all of these aspects the gameplay is just ridiculously consistent and honestly very enjoyable. Obviously the last UFO is a really really bad chokepoint as it is a million times harder than anything else in the level however I got rather lucky with it (even if I passed it on my second time of reaching it and still not completing the level due to the bad transition out of it).

I can highly recommend this level to anyone with a PC that can run this level. It looks intimidating at first however it is not as learny as it seems and just very enjoyable overall. It can be a bit annoying to die to the bugs however you get a lot of chances at working around them due to the level being so consistent. I would highly recommend playing this on a lower refresh rate too due to the absurdly high object count that the level holds to further improve the playing experience.
