I Beat The #1 Demon AND The #1 Challenge

Extreme demons take no skill

Okay okay, I promise that first line is a joke lmao I said I'd put that at the top of my description. But seriously, who saw this coming? Cause I sure fucking didn't! I first played Tartarus on the day it was released more than 3 years ago. Just like many others, I had a burning desire to be the legendary player who beat it first. Of course, none of us were good enough at the time, but that never stopped me from dreaming about it. Fast forward 2 years and there are actual contenders to be the first victor. And there I was, still playing the level. Nowhere near beating it, but still dreaming. It was only after it was verified that I tried to take initiative. I got 43% and was super proud of it. It's still the only progress video I have up on my channel lol. As the months passed I crept my way into the 50% range, at which point I threw in the towel. Even after being on and off for so long I just couldn't bring myself to keep playing it. It was still WAY too hard for me. Now it's 2021 and just before the new year I had gotten a 63% record on the level. I hadn't even practiced it that much, it just kind of happened. Then came February. I had beaten Delusion which was the hardest level on the challenge list, and I thought I had the momentum to go back to Tartarus and finally finish it. I surprised myself by getting 84% on my first attempt to the 2nd drop. That death pretty much set my future in stone because I knew I couldn't leave it at that. Incredibly, it only took a couple of weeks for me to finish it off. But let me tell you, those two weeks were traumatizing for me. I went through so much mental torture in such a short amount of time, I still don't fully understand why it got to me so much. I lost a lot of sleep thinking about it, almost had a mental breakdown after dying at 92%. I genuinely believed that I'd never do it, and that I'd be stuck playing it for the rest of my life. But was it worth the pain? Absolutely. I've learned so much about myself through playing this level and I would 100% do it all over again if I could. I went from being the noob who didn't understand how a human could do something so impossible, to being one of only 10 people on the planet to actually beat it. This is one of the most amazing and fulfilling moments of my life so far, and I'm grateful beyond words for everyone that I've met in the 7 years that I've been playing this game. You're all so fucking amazing.

TL;DR: Played Tartarus on and off for 3 years. Can't believe I've actually come this far.

Anyways, monologue over.

Tartarus and Delusion are very far from each other in difficulty. There's almost no comparison between them, Tartarus is just so much harder in so many ways. Even so, I'm very proud to have beaten both of them! This makes me the first person to have beaten the top 1 on both lists at the same time, which I'm ecstatic about!!!

I'd highly recommend Tartarus to any top player who wants to test themselves. It might look scary, but I feel like there are a lot of people out there who could beat it if they really tried.

Unfortunately I don't feel the same way about Delusion. D was my favorite challenge ever, so I thought I'd love Delusion even more. THIS WAS NOT THE CASE. Delusion is super inconsistent and very easy to mind-block. Only go for it if you're willing to spend a lot more time than you expected. It's so much harder than the current number 2, Toxic Blades.

Very special thank you to Mullsy for being an awesome role model and my initial motivation. And also to Ryujin and Gandhi for constantly calling with me and motivating me when I felt like shit. Huge thanks to the COCY and Spruce servers for also being amazing and keeping me sane 🤍
