❱❱ Description: So this level is basically way harder than everything in this server~ I will go in depth for each of the checkpoints.
In order of difficulty, the easiest BY FAR is pbc7, then pbc5 and pbc1, then pbc4, pbc6, pbc3, and the hardest (at least for me because I got mindblocked asf) is pbc2.
❱❱ pbc1 - Darkness Trial
❱❱ Attempts: ~250
❱❱ Enjoyment: 3/10
❱❱ Difficulty relative to other levels: 8★
❱❱ Description: So the difficulty of this checkpoint does NOT come from the bar jumps it mostly comes from the darkness constantly triggering every few cycles and screwing you over in the neo part. This checkpoint I thought was the easiest but after getting farther into the level, it's close to it but not quite. This isn't that bad as long as you're proficient at stalling without being able to see the block.
❱❱ pbc2 - Frost Spirit Trial
❱❱ Attempts: ~2.8k
❱❱ Enjoyment: 0/10
❱❱ Difficulty relative to other levels: 11★
❱❱ Description: This checkpoint is just a bunch of aids like it feels easy and should be easy but for whatever reason it is NOT consistent at all and I ended up nerfing this checkpoint a few times so it may or not actually be the hardest one anymore but because of my initial mindblock it definitely was. The difficulty comes from
❱❱ pbc3 - Sand Trial
❱❱ Attempts: ~2.2k
❱❱ Enjoyment: 9/10
❱❱ Difficulty relative to other levels: 11★
❱❱ Description: This checkpoint was also nerfed HEAVILY (there used to be no glowstone so the darkness used to trigger in the first half and the last jump), but ultimately I found this far more enjoyable and a bit easier than pbc2. The difficulty here comes from the second half in my opinion. While it is very easy, stalling is actually decently hard with the darkness and it is also somewhat difficult to maneuver into the little gaps while being restricted to constantly jumping and no shift. Also, going up messes with the rhythm. This checkpoint is much harder than it looks and is probably harder than the entirety of zaphkiel
❱❱ pbc4 - Blindness Trial
❱❱ Attempts: ~1.25k
❱❱ Enjoyment: 1/10
❱❱ Difficulty relative to other levels: 8★
❱❱ Description: This checkpoint is also something that is far harder than it looks. The reason being, you are given blindness in the beginning so you are unable to stop sprinting. If you do stop sprinting, you will not be able to sprint again so it is basically instant death. It's simply a speedrun. However, the difficulty comes from the neos since even the slightest touch to the wall stops your sprint so it's a bit harder than a normal neo on top of the fact that you have no time to setup. Also, the last double extension is difficult because it is slightly too close to the sand so you have to face very low down AND you can't see the block to place on until the very last moment. I originally expected this to be easiest checkpoint but this was far harder than the first checkpoint (and the last one)
❱❱ pbc5 - 45 Trial
❱❱ Attempts: ~150
❱❱ Enjoyment: 10/10
❱❱ Difficulty relative to other levels: 7-8★
❱❱ Description: I expected this checkpoint to be very hard but honestly I found this to be super easy and took me only a few minutes. The main difficulty in my opinion comes from the bar jumps and even that isn't really that hard. Honestly a very accessible checkpoint as long as you know how to do a basic 45 strafe.
❱❱ pbc6 - Hachi Trial
❱❱ Attempts: ~1.5k
❱❱ Enjoyment: 0/10
❱❱ Difficulty relative to other levels: 10★
❱❱ Description: This checkpoint is SO bad even though it's literally just 3 jumps. It's literally only the last jump from Hachi Gauntlet three times in a row but it felt so rng because I couldn't figure out a consistent way to do it (until like 10 attempts before the completion). Idk how consistent the way I did it just now was but it did feel very consistent in the end so it might not be as hard as I think it is.
❱❱ pbc7 - Finale
❱❱ Attempts: ~20
❱❱ Enjoyment: 3/10
❱❱ Difficulty relative to other levels: 5-6★ idfk
❱❱ Description: So yes I do have a lot of attempts on this as you can see, about 1.8k for unnerfed, but I changed the jump to a triple neo chain and took like 20 LOL (it was a butterfly neo but I realized it wasn't possible on 1.21) I probably should've made this last part a lot harder but I couldn't be bothered after all of the other checkpoints. So yeah, free ending I'm pretty sure anyone with parkour experience can do this jump
