I beat estrim demone (Place Unmodified)
Warning: lengthy description
A level that I actually made a contribution too! But to beat this, you won't be seeing it.
I "attended" the GDPlace event, where players can place a block every 5 minutes, similar to r/place. I built a structure somewhere, and it can be seen on the main path for a second! However, I didn't take the main path, as in the unmodified version of this level, it's practically impossible to reach there.
Instead, you take an entirely different route, and it involves going paths that are pretty open, so open that you might as well call it a secret way.
To get to the said secret way, which is at 23%, you must do what to me was a huge choke point: the timing at 19%. You have to do a really tight timing (and I'm fully convinced that it's a 60Hz frame perfect) to get between the top of the wave section, which is bugged because of incorrect slope usage, and a hidden saw behind "Flounder" Scarlet. I ended up dying here a large amount of times.
However, there are still a lot of choke points after the wave, and this includes 20%, where you have to release a tap to get through the bloodbath part and the dragon, which is tight on its own, but not frame perfect (apparently there was a much easier way to do this, and it would've made 20% much, much easier), and 23%, which is a section where you have to be in the right section of the portal, which is in the topmost quarter, to fall to a spot, where your next jump will be successful (and that is not hitting the text to the right of the jump).
All was good when I got to the secret way the first time until I decided that jamming was a great idea to do in a free section. Just a reminder: when you get to the aftermath section of the song, do not click to the beat. You will hit the saw at 78% like I did.
At first, I didn't think that the fail was that bad, but progression towards beating the level got even worse. My fails at the 19% click doubled, and I started dying at 20%, which actually wasn't a spot that I died at before. After a couple of hours frustration and exactly:
11 deaths at 19% before the death at 78%,
1 death at 23% before the death at 78%,
A death at 78%,
23 deaths at 19% after the death at 78%,
4 deaths at 20% after the death at 78%, and
1 death at 21% after the death at 78%,
I finally beat the level and learned not to jam to the music this time! And also, according to the in-game leaderboard, I'm the 2nd player to do so! (but don't trust the leaderboard tbh)
Now, all I have to do is beat the actual level without the skips! (which, by the way, is never happening)
I also really hope that the actual level gets rated, not even kidding.
