Since people asked, here are the levels I beat: brpm8zgkrj - robochief in my mind - rawin ace y tune - mineber flurry - amightyduck hell yeah - dashiell effectual prism - met30 violets - el4n hutaolloween - sparksomega pareidolia - distortt

The best way to improve is to enjoy it, and I think you went over so clearly how to enjoy the game long term. Really good points dude!

A bit late to the party, but congrats on 100k, you deserve it. Also, the 12 demons of Christmas is coming out really well, I've been really enjoying it. Keep it up man, awesome content!

Honestly this is some really solid general advice that applies to a lot of things!

"We've spending most of life living in Npesta's paradise"

4:00 this is absolutely true. I'm having this problem right now, but on the mobile list, my hardest Is artifice which is 48, but I can barely get 50 on sigma interface, which is 61 because it's so slow and timing based in comparison, while I'm used to playing fast levels. This has shown me that I need to play slower and more timing based levels, so thanks aeon :)

Back then, a year ago, I beat 19 demons in 8 days just because of this guide, and yesterday I beat my first top 50, Cold Sweat. Thank you Aeon.

Hi Aeon, a few months back I suggested the idea of a reverse roulette, where instead of doing it normally you do 99-100 on the first level, then 98-100, and so on. It seemed like you liked the idea but couldn't find time to try it out. Well now, unless you have videos lined up, I think this December is the perfect time to finally give it a go. If you agree, I guess I'll see a video on it, if not, that's totally fine. Bye, I'm Tau, and this was a comment.

I was trying to jump to the hardest levels in the game, then I watched these type of videos, including your other one, and I thought, I should probably show down. Because of this, I was able to beat Leyak, Acu, and I’m getting good at dolos! Thank you for making these videos Aeon!

As someone who likes to stick to levels and do big jumps(jumped from acu to SW,currently have 48-98 on BL),I wanna give a different perspective. At 9:31 and throughout the video,u talk about how you like to beat many different types of levels. When you put it that way,it definitely seems obvious that it would be fun,but I don’t think it’s as appealing to other people as you may think. I personally find it much more enjoyable to beat really difficult levels and try to get runs on levels that are way out of my skill range (like Tartarus) rather than beating multiple insane demons because it just doesn’t really interests me and it can kinda feel pointless (in terms of improving my skill). Obviously not everyone operates the same way that I do,and I certainly wouldn’t recommend it as doing big jumps require a lot of patience and a special desire to push yourself to the limit,so yeah I don’t really know how many other people think the same way that I do. Either way,your videos are always a good watch and this one was no exception. :)

8:11 made kind of made me realise I am doing levels too hard for me. I'm trying to beat Duelo Maestro as my second insane demon (Supersonic being my first) and as a brand new hardest. I started it in mid september and at first, everything was going fine, like I got 27% in 3 days which was a huge achievement for me, considering the fact that I always taught this level was almost impossible and that I was not even able to get past 30% in practise mode... So yeah everything was going great and I started to get really great progress around 50% and I was really happy and motivated and I was thinking about beating it within two months (also, I got 53% around early October). But then something happend, I got a 26% fluke from 53% straight to 79% on October 19 (I have a video on my channel for those curious) and yeah I was thinking that I was totally gonna beat it soon, like in a week or so, but then, time went on and on, deaths past 70% accumulated especially at 73%. At this point, already around one month and a half had pass, I think so, but considering that it took me two months to beat Supersonic I was still motivated but a bit less than before. At one point, I was getting to 70%+ about once or twice a day, which is very far for me, but none of these attemps were the lucky one. And as of right now (December 9), I have approximately 40 000 attemps (practise mode included) and still no new progress after more than a month. I thought I would have been done with it around October or ealry November, but here we are, in December without any form of 'real' progress. I'm playing this level around one and a half hour a day maybe more maybe less, I got 40% to 100% around 4 times. Also Duelo Maestro is not only a level I really like but it is soooooo long, it is by FAR the longest level I attempted beating (and hopefully, one day, beat!). All of this to say that I don't know what to do, i'm probably gonna take a break during Christmas and see how it goes later. If anyone has some recommendations, like should I drop it? and really don't want to because I know I can be it but..., this is the first time something like this happens to me and, like I said, I don't really know what to do about it. That is it, I wish you have a nice day ! :)

1:30 very true! What helped me improve a lot was building layouts. Creating gameplay is a much more immersive way to get to know the mechanics of the game better.

Thanks for the tips :) Ive really been strugling with nine circles because I took a pretty big skill jump from deadlocked, my first demon to nine circles, which I have 87% on. My motivation is really lacking but now I know that I have to beat easier stuff to fully finish it off.

really good tips, ive noticed a lot of people sticking to one gamemode, sinking in too much time into a big jump to get better, or just straight up not enjoying the game and ultimately not really advance as players personally i just play for fun rather than to improve and as a result have realized that completions are way different from just runs, being more stressful and less fun but more notable and rewarding so i’d figure the optimal playstyle would be to beat levels you can deal with relatively quickly but feel free to do random runs on hard but fun stuff

Omg the skill things are the best advice ive heard, cuz i have been stuck on just fast synced gp which is how i could beat acu but not like cata, thanks aeon you are the best

I needed this,cuz right now im trying to jump from jawbreaker to poltergeist and i have no clue what to do.

I would say this would be a very good video for anyone that is new to the game or for the ppl that are currently making their halfway progress with the game (grinding demons and such). Ofc every game just requires practice, and as they say, "the practice is the key"

Dude you are litteraly here at the right time for me, basically i wanted to start a new gd account again because my old one was litteraly fucked and had all bad levels, and noclipped demons from 3 years ago, and i wanna make a real clean one, and improve at the game. SO i watched npesta's guide and i'm doing it rn, and then i search for video for improving and i see that you just uploaded this one. THANKS that's gonna help a lot, btw the hoodie is fire

Good advice! I'm trying to force myself into beating a hard demon, but I keep getting stuck at early parts of the level. I'm just going to enjoy the game for a while, maybe doing some more medium demons before I commit to something above my skill set.

Finally the video I need, thank you aeon!!

Every once in a while I return to this video, it motivates me to progress and continue to grind more. I like how aeon understands what exactly things are there that stops a player from being good and he addresses it and tells the solution in the best way possible thanks aeon

Thanks man! I was honestly in a really bad state for the last 2 weeks and this video really helped me pay attention to the things that actually matter. Hoepfully I will become better soon.

These are some really solid tips, and I agree with pretty much everything you said in the video. This will help a lot of people!

This helped a bunch. Took a break after getting nowhere in Future Funk and beat Toxic Sewers (my new hardest) and Dark Hell. Thanks for this 🙏

I needed this, thank you

I play GD to have fun and I shit you not but Theory of Everything 2 took me a total of 30k+ attempts and I don't CARE what ANYONE says, does'nt matter if they flex like "lol I beat that in 26 att" or those cringe kids that just laugh at me for being bad. Great vid man keep up and you'll gain even more subs cuz you deserve more! Greetings from Sweden 🇸🇪

I beat my first insane demon just coming back to the game. I hope to use this to improve my skill. Thanks!

"Not everyone can be a spaceuk" turns out even spaceuk cant be a spaceuk

this teaches us a lot about everything, very good video aeon tysm!!

Tbh I've been trying to beat Dark Odyssey for my 200th demon (currently having 199 demons) and for my 2nd extreme for the past few weeks, I chose that level because I want to get better at nerve control/long levels and I also thought that it's fun I'm more than 3k attempts in since it's genuinely a struggle for me to even get to 35, and it's even more of a struggle to get past the first dual Around 3 weeks ago, for a week I actually spent 3 hours every day just to grind DO, I did get to 78 (the 2nd dual), but after that, it's been nothing but deaths at 15-30% 35-45% and 52-67%. Now I'm taking a break from the game currently since I have a lot of other things to do plus the fact that I'm just feeling demotivated at the game Overgrinding CAN lead you to think that the level you're trying to beat is legit wasting your time so I feel like it's best to take a break from time to time, since in my opinion your muscle memory holds up really well and when you come back to the level and trying to beat it, maybe you'd get lucky with it the next time you come back to the level you're trying to complete

Amazing video Aeon! Thank you do much.

i love ur content aeon!

this was awesome. My hardest is thanatophobia. Working towards harder stuff

Thank you for your tips, Aeon

the diversify thing is something that I've been building and still doing it since late 2019 because ik I'm not that good at some game mode and it's finally paid off. as for the patience, I'm quite inconsistent with my own patience. because sometimes I rely on other's progress on a level and got burned out if I can't keep up with it, and that lead to unmotivated phase. anyway great video

woah super early here for an aeon video. that's a first. thanks for the tips homie

Thanks for this. This helped me so much and now I have bet 4 demon levels, thanks.

Really good advices :)

Thanks for this video!

This is really inspiring to me, after watching this I realized that my top 5 is all based on things I’m good at, except epsilon ig. But i realize I really need to improve my ship and endurance mainly since those are my big weaknesses I would say. I’m good enough at wave to not just go for wave levels, even though I definitely could. So since I want to make this change, I wanted you ask aeon, or anyone for that matter, if there are any ship-based levels I could do. My skillset is around high legacy-low extended list :)

Most people clicked on this video to learn how to beat your first extreme.

Aeon…. txs a lot dude… I think that the only thing im not used to do is practice the mechanics even though I know some of them and be patience with myself not with the level…. because when I see that I spent much more attempts that I would like to spent…. I give up…. for example that happened on my two firsts extreme demons (glide 40% something in 3000 att and reverence 50% something in 5000 att) and now im trying to beat Thanataphobia wich i’ve got 20% in 2000 (most of the att r from practice) so yea…. but thanks for the help man, i’ll practice my mechanics and timings i think it will be important because thanataphobia has some pretty ruff timings and i think this might help… and again aeon…. txs and congrats on the 100k subs

The editor tip is actually a good concept i should have done this in the beginning and I might have gotten good quicker

This video motivated me to beat Crimson Clutter as my hardest before crimson clutter I was so bad at wave this video really helped me improve thanks :)

Thanks for playing my level aeon :)

Watching this is making me realize why I had such a bad experience beating cataclysm. I was so stubborn on beating cata for my 100th demon and first extreme that even after not making progress I still stuck with it for like months and didn’t play any other levels. My skill set is fast paced gameplay so I really struggled with the first wave and the ship part at 63. I even stopped playing gd for a couple months cause I got tired of grinding the same level over and over again.

0:04 Everyone should follow the instruction in the top right ngl

good advice :) i'm going for windy landscape as my new hardest as a jump from magma bound because ship is basically my worst gamemode (especially mini) so it is objectively harder than mb for me. then I wanna do the apocalyptic trilogy, leyak, acu and then go for sakupen hell to improve my wave skill (wave is also one of my worst gamemodes)

Very good tutorial. I have a question about the (in your case) 50% in a week thing. Does it apply to runs from 0 or also to runs with start pos? (I have 32-82 on Forbidden Isle but only 20% from 0 because I haven't played much from 0)

I love how the level in the background syncs with the background music 1:46

Very good advice ❤️

i needed this video, im struggling a lot to beat sharp minor, because i suck at wave

It's a good thing to understand that: it's a game, if your not having fun it doesn't make sense to play

and this is why i subscribed to you 👍

I was stuck in a trap of not doing hard demon or above difficulty until I decided to do windy landscape and that has motivated me to always try harder levels.

I beat my hardest yesterday which was Futuristic Road, I brute forced it for 2 days and beat it in about 2.4k attempts, I don't know if this means I was ready to beat something harder and I'm not pushing myself enough or I just tried really hard, I consider this level to be different from my skillset, which is old levels (1.3-1.6) with memory so IDK, congrats on 100k btw

I beat Deadlocked before clutterfunk and As my third demon (after the nightmare und lightning road) when i played 6 month in 11 thousands attemps and 2 month but i habe a lot of fun with it and i think it is worth to pump thousands of attemps in a level that you really love

Love your sweater

10:50 not every one can be a spaceuk 💀

Exactly what I needed.

10:41 now those who compared themselves to space REALLY screwed themselves over.

For wave, I would also recommend getting the rhythm of 1 slope, at all speeds. Most levels that use wave also use full slopes for the gameplay

With aeon talking about how sticking to one skillset isnt that good, but should still be a great achievement, there is also the fact that you might thingk you can do other hard demons (i.e if you beat nine circles then try to do future funk, then you wont be able to beat it)

"If I compares myself to other people, like space" oohhhhh... uhm, about that...

That song again. i love how you use this song in all of your videos

hey Aeon, so... basically, I am on 60hz mobile so I'm really struggling with easy levels because I don't have enough time to react and the way I do it is basically, just beating (on safe mode) on like 0.2x speed and then slightly increasing until you reach 1.0x and turn the safe mode off. While it can be nerves-wracking, I am using this strategy to go for harder levels like Death Corridor Old or Devil Vortex (also I use layout mode on Devil Vortex because its making a lot of lag and while its easier to see, the gameplay isn't changed and if I get really close to 1.0x)

One of the best Aeon videos

The diversity tip is something I have really struggled with, I always knew I was best at timings, good at ship, and bad at wave, but when I practiced translucent I realized how much my skill was based around consistency and not raw skill. The reason for this is I would always play longer levels that were timing and ship based. What I’m doing to try to fix this is some short levels. I don’t what to do for wave since I hate nine circles levels not because they are too hard because the gamplay sucks

All I got from this is balance your skill set and if you cant get 20% in a level within a week of playing, you should prob drop it Aeon advice🙂

The funny thing is, I find that I like Nine Circles levels, and also a lot of levels I like such as Deadlocked are centered around wave, which happens to be one of my worst gamemodes. (I think I'm more of a cube and also slow timing person.) I also have this tendency to enjoy playing levels that are way out of my skill range more than levels I know I can beat.

Thanks for the shoutout :)

great video thanks

Cool advice although when it comes to jumps, I’m more of the opinion that if you like a level enough and you know you can beat it within reason, then it shouldn’t matter how long it takes.

Video idia :) 😁 Try beat a hard demon in 1 attempt. What i mean by that iiis keep oon playing it in practice, beat iit in practice until you feel comfortable and confident you can do it in normal mode you can practice /copy the level as much as you want but you can only have 1 normal mode attempt 😁i thought it sounded fun and yyou would be able to do it :))))

1. It's a bonus if you're a creator, as it allows you to also experiment a lot more with the game mechanics. (it's one reason why I've gotten a bit better with with SOME gamemodes) 2. I don't like Nine Circles levels, not satisfying to beat them. 3. I've been patient with most things, even when I've jumped difficulties from time to time. (I have yet to beat Deception Dive, despite having 80%) 4. I fully agree there at 10:35, it's why I say I suck at the game, even if others say I don't. As a player myself, I am capable of beating harder levels like Deception Dive and Bloodbath, but I often can't be bothered (I usually grind Bloodbath if I get bored of other things in the game. lol)

anyone can now be spaceuk

"not everyone can be a spaceuk" that aged very well

Upon further inspection, I think if you compared yourself to spaceuk again, you'd feel just fine.

8:11 i felt like this made since because i was doing plasma pulse by Giron as my first insane demon not knowing at the moment my hardest is nine circles by Zobros and the level kept getting me super frustrated so im gonna take that advice and do something not too hard and work my way to Plasma pulse Thx for the advice Aeon >3

I remember when pareidolia was the weekly demon and I HATED it. mainly it was the first ship but, kinda going along with what you said, I got better at ship and now I have no problem, also I got 35% on thanatophobia in like 2 days

Aeon my hardest is future funk. I’m also trying to beat the mappacks but i got to a point where im struggling. I got to “Time Is Eco” and I’m finding it hard to get past it because its a timing based level that realistically should be rated insane. But that’s not the point right now, i would like to ask what easy demon difficulty levels should i try to get better at timings so my skill in the cube game mode is better.

Can you make a video about things to do when your bored

Hey aeon im starting to get to a point in the game where i feel like im getting decently good. My hardest is future funk, but i got 55% and 26%-100% on acu, but the predrop is ass and i cant get past it often. Should i go for it? Do you think i should go for it?

Now I know why I'm struggling with Forest Temple even though I've beaten Nine Circles, I've been playing too much wave and I'm bad at other game modes.

something i'm doing is going for a new hardest that mostly consists of something that i struggle with. since i need practice with long levels for a verification that i'm working on, i'm going for hypnotic travel as my new hardest. my best run is 66-100%. i also struggle with fast gameplay, so i'm practicing hi for my first insane demon. i currently have 42%.

"not everyone can be a spaceuk" they can if they have megahack

I beat my first insane demon that I spent multiple months on. I didn’t play any other levels and I only beat it just so o could beat it. It wasn’t any fun at all. Now that I beat it I feel satisfied but I started playing Acropolis and I’m having the most fun ever with gd. Problem is I don’t have time at all to play gd

Trying to beat penombre for my first extreme and I got 61% so far hope to beat it soon!

I really need this thanks AeonAir I wanna beat my first demon

AeonAir I recently Leaped from "Nine Circles" to "Leyal" Top 40 Insane? Would you sait its worth it? Id say it help me get better at Duels ship timing and symc id say it was a decent leap.

Play the game and see all the mechanics firsthand and how they are commonly used ❌ Slowly and meticulously find every single intricacy and memorize them in a process that takes hours ✅

the way i got better was to jump from deadlocked to artificial ascent lol. it took 6 months and 86k attempts but now i'm so much better at the game. i'm doing catalyze as a new hardest and plan on jumping to spectrum cyclone soon

Ah yes I have beat the nightmare, TIME FOR BLOODLUST -thumbnail

What are good insane or maybe even easy extremes after supersonic? (Which I am doing right now)

I'm probably going to follow these tips because ship is absolutely destroying my life and I can't do ship stuff for the life of me even tho I can beat list demons. Maybe I should just take my time and beat a lot of ship levels after i beat subsonic

I fluked acu (my first extreme) from 52 and I knew that wouldn’t happen again when playing cataclysm as my 2nd extreme. So I mentally prepared myself for the next 13,000 attempts it took me to beat it. Now I’m trying to beat TUP (have 46% but zobros’s part and 75-100 are rly hard) but also going through the easy GDDP levels so I don’t get bored. Ironically enough, I skipped an entire tier on the GDDP without even realizing it. Apparently Acu is a LOT harder than 8o lmao

love the video, but can u please tell us the name of the levels you beat in the background 😅

Tysm

I definitely fell victim to the wave one-trick at one point. I was doing a lot of NC levels and was great at the wave, but I was mediocre at everything else Now I'm good at everything but ship, and even then it's mostly due to the fact that I'm a 60 hz player

I myself need some help. Every time I’ve tried a hardest since beating B (2nd medium demon after deadlocked) I have found myself picking levels I really enjoy and also help round my skillset, but by the time I’m able to beat them, i’m basically already done with the level. (ex, I still have 85% on magma bound and I started it ages ago) Any tips?
