Cataclysm is a 1.9/2.0 Extreme Demon, originally created and uploaded with a hacked verification by Ggb0y. The level was later updated and verified legitimately by Riot. Upon its release, it was featured and instantly became one of the hardest levels in Geometry Dash, tied with Ice Carbon Diablo X, but is now deemed one of the easier Extreme Demons in the game. It is the first of a trilogy of similarly-themed Extreme Demons, followed by Bloodbath and Aftermath. It is currently on the Legacy List of the Official Pointercrate Demon List.

History
Cataclysm possesses a very interesting story within the Geometry Dash community.

A popular creator, known as Ggb0y, uploaded a video on December 30, 2014, showing the fourth preview of his upcoming Extreme Demon named Cataclysm, set to be the hardest level in the game up until that point.[1]

Fast forward, and Ggb0y had invested over 80,000 attempts to try and verify the level, but still couldn't beat it, so he hack-verified Cataclysm. Sometime later, players like ZorroZ Zet and Lyra Bandicoot claimed to have beat it legitimately but later confessed to hacking the level, which was clear due to the fact that their waves, trails and jump rings were not pulsing in places they should have been.

After all this, everyone thought it was impossible to complete Cataclysm without the use of hacks. But eventually, an extremely skilled Korean player named Cyclic was thought to have completed it without any hacks on stream, and he was considered to be "the first survivor" of the Cataclysm. This completion blew up Cyclic's channel and his popularity,[2] though he later admitted to hacking the level alongside all of his major achievements.

After Cyclic, a highly skilled player called Giron was the next to legitimately beat it, who called the achievement his "best work".[3] Soon after, a very skilled player called Sandstorm[4] and an extremely skilled player called Riot beat it on the same day, being May 20, 2015. Riot also received a huge popularity boost after his completion. Then Powerbomb became the fourth victor on July 10,[5] and Creepy Dash became the fifth on July 25.[6] Soon, more and more people started to beat Cataclysm, and with the release of Bloodbath, Cataclysm was knocked down in the list and was no longer the legendary hardest demon it was once considered.

A year later, Ggb0y updated Cataclysm by buffing the ship sequences, adding an "extra death", as well as three user coins in the level. Riot verified the newly buffed update of Cataclysm legitimately on stream.[7] This version is now known as "New Cataclysm" and is considerably harder than "Old" Cataclysm.
