- Here we go, you all. My final video of the year and easily my biggest and probably best one too. Through years of endless research and two failed attempts of telling this story, here I am finally doing it properly. Massive thanks to LastPrismAlex who edited pretty much the whole video using my voice-lines and script material, he deserves a ton of love for his amazing work in the GD community.
/ @lastprismalex
I know I've said countless times that I wouldn't redo this story for a video again but upon having researched even the fundamental basics of the story, there are so many things we missed our first time around. Now, we have actually found out what the full story of this level entailed. It is one hell of a long journey as you can see and I have added sections to the story about mine and others' work in trying to find the level which has always been a common question to arise in conversations about the level. Enjoy the longest documentary I've ever released on this channel.

i like to think that darkx actually knows about your attempts to restore his level and is having a laugh about it
that's very in character and i love imagining that
yeah lol
I have a conspiracy theory that he has the copy of the full level and is just watching, waiting until someone beats the restoration and when they do, he will release the full level to the public
@@qazzy2538 yeah i hope but he probably forgot about the game and has no idea about this lol
@@qazzy2538 conspiracy?
DarkX knowledge of the game's mechanics always gonna be something so fascinating to me, the dude created 2 lvls and that was enough for him to know how to create weird and mega difficult timings(some of them were kinda ground-breaking tbh), and strange design choices. The guy was truly an anomaly.
Korean creators are just built different
i think his way of thinking coming from the mario roms helped with discovering most of these gimicks
most of the events and players from 2.0 and earlier are anomalies, like have you seen what Mefewe was capable of doing back in early 2016?
@@sasdrob we know, but there is something about darkx that is unique, i mean according to this and past videos about 111 rg this was his second level, he had a very precise knowledge of gimmicks
I'm sure it has to do with a lot of experimentation, just goofing around in the editor and forgoing the need to be playable
This video is so incredibly well put together. Element 111 Rg is a level that normally wouldn't even be close to interesting but just the mysterious nature of this lost level is so fascinating. Incredible work on the research you've done over the years, and thank you for this amazing video summarizing it perfectly
hello tride
i wish it was still around to play accessibly however the mysterious nature of the level does make it quite unique looking at little details such as when the level could have been deleted
hi tride
Yep, the level just gives me those Erie vibes.
"wouldn't even be close to interesting"
I guess everything before 1.9 was literal dirt
It's been a pleasure to work on this for almost 3 years now. Despite getting frustrating at times, the search has still been fun and I hope it will be, as I don't plan to stop. Thanks for connecting me with so many people

hi
Wait how is this 19 hours ago
Fun fact: Roentgenium or Rg, is a radioactive metal isotope that has a very unstable and short half life. Much like the level itself, it can be said that the radioactive impact of its existence once thought to be an incredible feat* now has exploded into nothing a lot of people can't remember.

Ayo stormfly liked thsi
ironic
then Element 118 Og (if it existed) would be gone immediately
Wow how ironic lol
It’s insane how much history a single GD level can really have, props to you for putting this all together for the second time.

i can't explain how much this story fascinates me, ever since i knew about this level back in may 2020, everything about its story, to its creator, to its restoration completely hooked me
i'm 100% sure no other story in the game will ever be as interesting and mysterious as this one, and i can't even begin to imagine how much research and time went into trying to find tiny pieces of the puzzle everywhere online
i could go on for ages on how this is my absolute favorite lost media story in general, but i will just thank you inmensely for letting me help you out editing this video, the fact that of all videos i could've worked on, you decided to trust me with this one of a kind story is crazy to me, i put my heart and soul into this video, just as you all did with the research and restoration, it means the world to me, i hope you all enjoy ❤
Hi
yes
Yoooooooo, lastprismalex, eres sin duda el creador de contenido más infravalorado en esta comunidad, pero aún así eres el mejor y te sigues esforzando todos los días para streamear y editar, una leyenda… (espero ganes los awards xd)
Español
YYYYYYYYYYYYYYY
Thanks for making this video a lot and want to say sorry for spending so much time for investigating our -ugly- past (we were too young for documenting the whole process and records briefly). I fortunately found my saved backups in my old phone but it's sad that it wasn't that effective for restoration. Hope y'all have a great end of the year! -PMCreatorArco
thanks for hosting such a wonderful series! i still love playing the old maps and it's such a treat to be able to experience what's left of it
The End of the Series :c
lol
Thanks for releasing such an amazing series man 👍
Come back Arco! We miss you!
The fact that this level could literally just be sitting somewhere in the sea of the internet waiting to be found is insane.
36:26 that's what accidentally happened to ICDX back in the day. I remember when SCP Lanst "beat it" the most common thing to see was "I don't care if it's hacked or not, I'm just happy to be able to see the entire level." Truly a great time in the game that won't happen anymore.
man what happened to that guy?
When was this?
@@cyanified he stopped playing gd years back, now works on game development
@@SeptaGon7 wow im glad to hear that, right in was my favorite level back then
he got blown up by the chess community rip
Masterful storytelling and research. We need such great documentarians like you to preserve the legacy of the GD community.
I agree
You still exist? Wow
its been a while, old friend
Absolutely loved your skits

this comment is amazing
this is the worst and best joke ever

It actually hurts so much on how damn close we were to actually finding the level. This level is so mysterious and I both love and hate it. Maybe by some miracle someone has this level backed up with that backup app but I’m definitely not holding my breath on that, absolutely amazing video.
Really solid video, had me very invested to the point where even I'm infuriated that there were moments that were so close to finding the original thing. Hopefully someday DarkX himself just comes out of the woods and helps us restore the level if he doesn't still have it.
hi sd
At that point that would be more insulting than never helping in the first place. Imagine if he knew about all of the restoration struggles and just decided to have a laugh about it lol.
@@RGC_animation i mean if bro doesnt have the level anymore and acknowledges he was just being an immature kid, i feel like helping to restore it is the best he can do
@@RGC_animation He might not even be aware that all this is going on now, but he _may_ learn it later...
This reminds me of the time where CGP Grey spent half of a year trying to find the oldest Tiffany.
wait what
"TIFFANY" - Tiffany from Adventure Time
And when he found out that the only person who might've been interested died years ago.
what
Absolutely. It's like archeology but online.
Goodness I thought I would click off this video within 20 minutes, boy was I wrong. I thought watching an hour long documentary of how a old level was rebuild would be boring, especially since I suck at staying to the end of a video, but this was so interesting. The way DarkX hid the level from everyone in such a strange manner and how the restoration of the level was clinging on to every last bit of information you could get, even if it was from an 8 year old memory from a random commenters brain, is fascinating. There are so many moments where you are so close to getting your hands on this beast but then being shot down by by the littlest of things. I love they way this video was put together and I'm super glad I stayed to the end! Keep up the good work for 2023 Storm!
If this wasn't posted a day before the GD 2022 award results, I would of voted for this to be the best GD video of 2022! :D
GOD. Between your video and Samifying's video, I have been in shock by just how impressive some of the GD community's talents are. These videos are literally more entertaining than a full on movie. Amazing job Stormfly.
I always love Stormfly’s explanations. They are extremely detailed and on point. He’s basically in line Colon.
both have their drawbacks
I was waiting for this video, i'm so excited for it!
Element 111 Rg is definiteley the most mysterious level on the entire game, all the history of this level is so weird and complex, making this video insaneley important
the spike is black
@@seano.4009it’s red tho…
This has been such an amazing project. I am so thankful to have been part of the search and since it seems like it’s never over, I hope one day our work will lead us to the level itself. Awesome job and thanks to everyone involved
what was the deletion date?
How'd you guys confirm it?
@@lldsll7395 there was one post by dssdsds on April 19th that I did bring up a few times but unfortunately never made it into this video. said post details his progress of several different demons including one which states something along the lines of “Element 111 Rg 7% (it’s in saved, version 2)” and after asking a korean to double check the translation we came to the conclusion that it was likely that dssdsds meant that he was only able to see his progress data on the level because it was in his saved folder. what this means is the level was deleted by robtop himself
@@geo1496 damn does that mean robtop is responsible for all the agony described in this video lol
@@geo1496 Cool. I'm Korean too, I went to GDW to check it out, and I can second that. For those who are wondering, the comment he's mentioning here exactly translates to: Element 111 Rg 7% (it was in saved.. ㄷㄷ version 2). ㄷㄷis Korean internet slang that means you're surprised
Incredible.
It’s fascinating how a level so infamous can fade into obscurity and be lost.
I feel as though a full copy of Element 111 Rg being found is a matter of when and not if, even if it’s the nerfed version.
Here’s to 2023!
It's frustrating how perfectly hidden the level was, both by accident and on purpose. It's like the universe itself doesn't want us to find the whole level. Congrats DarkX, you won, no one will ever completely find Element 111 Rg.
Hey stormfly, I know this is like 6 months late but if you have the ability to transfer the save file mentioned to have element 111 rg in the saved level list. You can still get copy of the level if you use mod menu on a mobile device with said save file.
Im sure megahack V7 also has the ability to do this, but if not. Mod menu can (I tested it with older levels and I can still create copies of them even if the feature didn't exist when the level was uploaded)
But were they deleted?
@@Nevertrollingagain I tested that too and yes that also still works
Tf we need stormy to see this bruh
@@isaiahmartushev9371 all he needs to manage is to update the game that he obtained element 111 rg in to 2.1 then he can copy it
@@jonoplayz commenting so stormfly notices this this is insane if true
Honestly the fact that we know not everything is exact but we still have some parts we know are pretty much the same just makes the level more interesting, This was certainly a very interesting video, good work.
This video *amazes me*
Context: I was addicted to youtube for a long time and.... i've seen some pretty good creators in my 9000+ hours time of watching youtube, and one thing is for certain, you are one of the few youtubers that i really follow closely, ever since the "all top demons" video, the one that you narrated, damn, u are so good, keep up the good work man, you are an inspiration for me :D.
pd: Keep an eye on me, I'll be beating Extreme Demon Acu one time every day of 2023, maybe i'll be on your radar or on reddit.
Good luck. Don't give up with that, it might get daunting, it might seem impractical, but practically doesn't matter when you set yourself a personal goal.
are you the one who beat acu like 400 times?
@@krlllx No, i'm not, but recently i've managed to beat it (off camera) 3 times in a day, and 8 times in total :D, even with the input lag that V-sync has (165Hz monitor), so i think i have the skill to do it. I have no idea how to install Mega Hack v5 in linux so... i'll be Dual Booting Windows + Linux for this challenge i suppose, i need mega hack v5 ;p
Thanks for the luck wished ma dude :D
Bruh I literally have 98% on acu and I can’t beat it. Good luck with that though.
I am not the biggest geometry dash fan,but this? This is monumental. Congratulations to everyone who worked on this,and their incredible work.
idea: pull out some CIA FBI Secret Service shit and try to track down DarkX, hold him at gunpoint to remake the whole level + whats confirmed to exist, and have that "updated" version be the official Element 111 Rg. W idea imo
😋🙏
Imagine DarkX saw this since stormfly's first video about this level, and on the 10th anniversary of this levels release, he suddenly releases the full level, and his final message saying how it was fun to hide this level, but it's time to uncover the mystery people have waited to see, that would be epic, but highly unlikely

Wow. This was fucking awesome! I don't think I've ever been this invested in a geometry dash documentary or any documentary ever. Thank you so much Storm and Alex for putting together this masterpiece!
This was incredible to watch, one of the best GD documentaries out there. Your dedication, attention to detail, and care of preservation of this is something that should not be overlooked.
Amazing job with this, such an enjoyable piece to watch.
This was such an interesting video, ive been keeping up with this level for a while and to see the story of this level was incredible, the hurdles you and everyone else went through to find this id imagine would’ve been very heartbreaking at times, though im glad yall were able to get as much info out of it as possible, i can say that i think your efforts were worth it, it made for a very interesting and mysterious story that resulted in a decent chunk of a level lost to time being restored, hearing the process of what all went into restoring the level specifically was really neat too, finding all the images and hearing about all the people that you contacted and seeing what they said they remembered, also as far as this video goes, it was made wonderfully, the editing and the way you told the story progression was amazingly, i hope this vid can gain some traction and hopefully if even possible, results in some more of the level being found, so yeah thanks for all the effort you put into this project and the vid, and i hope you had a good Christmas stormy, cant wait to see what next year has to offer!
The lore around this freaking level goes so deep. This video is like the embodiement of the "but wait there is more" moment. I like it how you talked about all the layers, after layers, after LAYERS there was to this story and all the struggles you went through during the research. It's like it made me sympathize with your frustration everytime you were met with a dead end. 10/10 VIDEO.
Just watched the entire video in one go. Thank you Stormfly for making my favourite Geometry Dash content and for putting in so much effort to make sure the content is great. Wish you the best going into 2023
I rarely comment on GD videos, but this one has to be one of my favorite ever. I already really liked the first video you made 2 years ago about this level, but this is another level. Everything is so well explained and organized.
I really hope that one day all of these efforts you put into this level will conclude to a 100% accurate version of the level, even though following what you said, the chances are unfortunately pretty low.
I rarely thank people for making videos, but thank you for taking the time to make videos and tell the knowledge you have on this level. Have a happy new year, and I’m definitely looking forward to your other videos.
The amount of effort gone into this looks immense and I admire you Storm for the amount of patients and curiosity to find this level. I love your channel and will continue to watch what you post. I hope one day that there is a miracle and more lost media or even hints of lost parts will be revealed. Also, that one ship part with those breaking block looks so god awful to play because of how straight you would have to fly. I hope you have a great New Year and look forward to your videos next year.
This vid was honestly incredible. I knew about the recreation of the level for a while now, but I've never known where you got all of the gameplay from. The amount if techniques you used in this search is INSANE. The fact that all of this came from just a random ass level from a not very known series from 2014 is wild. This is probably the best, most well put together video about this game I've seen in my 7 years of playing it
That is more suprising if someone verify that or that Real one
Hope the suffering ends at some point, amazing video probably the best video you have made on your channel, and great job to Alex for most of the editing as well
I can sympathize with you looking everywhere to try to find something that people are intentionally are trying to keep secret, realizing that your search is futile and any source of the thing you are looking for was at best, deleted multiple years ago. I have poured way too much time trying to find an alternate TH-cam channel of a youtuber I used to watch that essentially went into hiding and told everyone in their community, the person reuploading their old videos, to keep it secret, and it is so frustrating just looking through the comments and replies and realizing that it is useless, just to get back to the grind a week later, racking your brain for any sort of source of new information. I hate it.
So you’re saying there were TH-cam videos with element 111 rg featured in it and those people who created the videos deleted them after hearing about stormflys attempt to try and recover the level? Is that correct
@@jaxson3690 no, it's about someone completely separate to gd
@@tkienjoyer ohhhh ok then. Do you think something similar happened to element 111 rg?
@@jaxson3690 probably not intentionally, there might have been some everyplay footage as he said but I don't think anyone intentionally deleted footage of element 111 rg
I'm always intrigued by your videos Stormy, all of your videos are always interesting, and you put so much work into them. I love watching your videos during my free time, and learning the old history of GD. I wish you an awesome year, you need to be more recognized for your work in the community.
People like you and Norkbork carrying on the legacy of Sea1997 are legendary
I was so excited for this and it was 100% worth the wait. imo one of the most underrated gd content creators
I’ve been waiting for another video on this topic. Good job man you really killed it with this one!
The story of element 111 rg is amazing. I can’t believe we’ve gone 3 years with this series. Thank you stormfly for making these videos!
holy shit this brings me up with so much nostalgia
amazing video, it never got me bored for the entire hour
Hi Orca, you're a legend
Oh hi
ORCA!!!!!!
Beautiful. You are by far the best GD youtuber currently. Props to you and the people who took part in this.
I am gonna watch this later but ever since you released that video on May 2020 and I watched it, I've gotten really hooked up over old levels. It's very fascinating that a level can have such a story.
Absolutely incredible work Stormfly. As someone who knows about this level since like early 2020 when you made the first video of it, i've always been fascinated about it, so I knew right away that when you uploaded this that I would love it. Can't wait to see what videos you will upload in 2023!
I'm honestly speechless after watching this video. The editing, storytelling, music choice, and just overall presentation was top notch. This video is a masterpiece and there isn't a better way you could've ended the year off.
Even though I am a relatively new player (joined in late 2020) I love to learn about little points in the game's history like this and I'm really happy that they're people like you who take the time and effort to make this type of content.
I have been watching your channel for months (without an account) and i want to say this is one of the best geometry dash documentary’s good job :)
i finally got to watch this in it's entirety and... wow! this is mindblowing! the amount of work you and everyone involved put into this is crazy! glad it paid off. i personally knew the level but i had no idea about the story surrounding it. thanks for this video!!!
this is honestly amazing. all the work put into finding this level, just wow.
Element 111 rg is like that one game you try to find when you played when you were in kindergarten or 1st grade.
"It's MY sleepover, I get to choose the movie"
Exactly
oh wow, your content is good. I didnt even notice that this video started playing after your other video until i checked! Super smooth
one of my favorite videos on the entire platform. I've rewatched it for the third time now. VERY VERY WELL MADE! ✌
I didn’t know this came out. I am so intrigued by the history of this ridiculous level. Amazing video.
I can't believe that one of the oldest, weirdest, most hated and worst looking levels has spawned such deep and interesting lore. I always enjoy your Rg videos, they are very intriguing and I always look forward to more. Hopefully we'll find more about it as we go, I'd love for it to not end here.
I was looking for this video on your channel for a long time, but I couldn't find it and until now you uploaded it, lets goooo
this is porobably the best gd video i've ever seen, it sure is interesting and i cant wait to actually see element 111 rg fully restored, i know it will take a lot of time and effort but the effort is worth it, because this is the most interesting level i've ever and probably i'll ever see. it looks like you've put a lot of effort into this video and i appreciate that, i dont think anyone would've ever put that much effort into finding this level
Lovely video, lovely history, not so lovely level
That’s a good way of describing it lol
Incredible, been here for about 2 years and you finally completed the project, to the best of luck.
I love your use of the Path of Pain music, how it gets more and more intense as you get more and more exasperated trying to find any evidence.
bro this video makes me want to make terrible 1.6 impossible levels. Also probably the longest video anyones managed to keep me hooked for, close second being sami's new video. But yeah, amazing job, keep it up
You did an incredible job stormfly. I wonder what darkx would think if he saw this. A level he himself was visibly very proud of and which got backlashed by the community being recreated and restored to the glory that it deserves.
I have an extremely vague memory of playing a level with jumps like the ones near the start. I don't exactly remember it I just remembered portal spam and I quit. Who knows, could've been this, or just some random level. Just thought I'd share this interesting memory. Note: That was around the time when I had 2 concussions so this could be completely made up.
Banger as always, so interesting how unique darkx was even though it wasn't the best in terms of quality I can appreciate the originality in some of the gimmicks.
this is probably one of the best gd documentaries i’ve ever seen. i really didnt know the full details of this level and how it was, well almost completely restored. I really only knew about the level’s rate, unrate, and restoration. And now KNOWING what happened and how this mysterious level was ever rated in the first place blew my mind. I love every single second of this video, its incredibly well done. Great job to everyone that participated in this enormous project
I was just looking for a showcase of this obscure level and ended up learning about the entire history and recreation of it. This is very impressive, even if it’s not 100% accurate, the depth that you and the team have gone to just to try and find any trace of this level is insane. I wonder if darkx still has rg saved on his computer. If he hasn’t swapped his hard drive it’s very likely he still has rg there, as gd game data is stored in the appdata folder and doesn’t get wiped if gd is uninstalled. Element 111 rg will remain to be one of the biggest mysteries ever in geometry dash, but a lot of it has been discovered thanks to you and the team.
Wow i knew you were trying to restore the level but i had no idea how deep this went. Congrats to you and everyone else for their intense research and digging to try and get as much of the level put back together. The video is very entertaining to watch as well.
I wasn’t expecting to watch a documentary about a game I haven’t played in 5 years, but you did a fantastic job so I stayed for the whole damn thing.
The game hasn't been updated since you left so you really didn't miss much tbh
That Pamka has good memory right there, but this is still not complete reconstruction. 37-39 percent is just 2 seconds of nothing, which is IMPOSSIBLE in this kind of level. While I did not play RG back then (i was 4 years old), by all explaining you provided, there is still room for work, and those arrows must be showing a way to avoid probably smth invisible, its just that you have little time to react. This is probably not the final version and I believe its still possible to reach out to darkx via those SuperMario Korean game in Naver, just under nickname "Mtrules" again. If not, there is probably still a way because it is IMPOSSIBLE to just vanish from the internet. This might be an inspiration, might not, but these are my thoughts. Awesome video and unbeliveable patience and organisation. I think Korea has everything on internet stored somewhere, so there MIGHT be a way to fully recover RG with 100% accuracy. Maybe Korean servers have a database or smth, but I am 99.999999% sure that they have smth, because its Korea. Its still possible, I guarrantee that. Just a way hasnt been found.
Ok I just noticed that 37-39 is actually saw blades in the black bg.
ive honestly been so interested in this level for years now and just remembered it existed the real level would be so cool to see honestly even though it probably wont ever happen
The dedication and quality of this videos is beyond what I can appreciate. excellent work and I can say that I was entertaining the entire hour and 17 minutes.
This is literally the best GD documentary video I've watched so far. Stormfly, tysm for over an hour of great fun! ;)
This video is an absolute banger, criminally underrated.
its been 1 day not really underrated but ok
@@alicezventures lets hope the algorithm does its work
Garbage levels are always so interesting compared to the new projects the generic mc hosts are making these days. This was a really good video Storm, I hope some day a random person will show up with the level, who knows if a random 5 years old played the game back in the days and played the thing, it might still be there somewhere, the internet never forgets anything
This is one of the biggest mysteries this game has to offer and although it might be impossible to get the filler parts right, the restored level looks good enough. And the way you've presented this story is another thing of beauty. I have nothing else to say other than that everyone who helped restore this level did an amzing job and I'm happy to be a part of this community where things like this keeps happening lol
the amount of research in this video is insane, and the editing is very solid, awesome job.
I have to say it was actually crushing to see that someone had the level saved but it was just sadly not saved locally due to optimization.
still, it's impressive how far you guys have gotten.
To people who don't want to watch an hour of ranting about the worst but most unique top 1 ever, here's a shorter version of the video (how i would document it)
A geometry dash creator named Arco on the Korean website Naver (who was in a community called Geometry Dash World) posted about hosting a level series with each level being a different element, for example the first level would be named Element 1 H. These levels were divided into 12 series of levels, with each one gradually getting harder, and the 12th set being near impossible.
DarkX decided to join and had to make levels 111-118 on the project, but only ended up making one that got deleted for unknown reasons. Some of the other levels that were in the project were deleted for unknown reasons too, but only 27 LEVELS OUT OF THE 118 WERE FINISHED ANYWAY!!
Element 111 Rg (roentgenium), a level by DarkX (foldering on Naver), was uploaded somewhere around April 7th to 10th of 2014. RobTop rated the level most likely due to using a lot of the new features in the beginning part, despite how incredibly difficult the rest of it was. RobTop doesn't really play the whole levels though. On April 11th, 2014, a secret way in the level was found at 3% by jumping onto the platform and jumping onto a corner of a block with spikes and holding until there's no more pillars. DarkX posted some mysterious message on Geometry Dash World before leaving the community (again, for unknown reasons). The level was deleted after, somewhere between May 21st to August 15th, with almost no trace that the level even existed.
Later, around 2019 (or so i think), Stormfly and a few other people tried the best they could to try and get parts of the level (or maybe the actual level) and restore it.
First thing they tried, GD copyables, nope, NONE EXISTED. Next thing was TH-cam videos, NONE EXISTED OH WHAT A RELIEF THATS HELPFUL. Then they realized they could use Everyplay because it was basically a repl- ARE YOU KIDDING ME EVERYPLAY WAS SHUT DOWN A YEAR AGO. there's only one thing left. Look for information on Naver. They found images of the level, and that's about it, so now NAVER IS FUCKING USELESS OH MY GOD- oh wait we forgot about that kid that makes autos (also known as Honor on geometry dash world) TURNS OUT THE DUDE DIDN'T EVER FINISH IT AND WHEN WE DID GET A SNEAK PEEK OF IT IT WAS BROKEN!!!! yes Naver is not a choice anymore. In october of 2022, Stormfly and "the few other people" found out about something called Titanium Backup that could've been used to- FUCK YOU EVERY SINGLE BACKUP IS TOO LATE OR PEOPLE DON'T HAVE THEIR OLD PHONES!! So there's only ONE THING TO DO EVEN THOUGH I HAVE SAID THAT TWO TIMES. Ask people what they remember. Ok first we got uhhhhhhhhhhhhh- Oh wow we figured out why everyone kept dying at 41% maybe its because of that impossible brick barrier timing which was basically impossible straight fly. That's helpful. Well actually, Naver isn't useless. we found more info- Ok cool we found 6% of the level in the pain path woo. Ok enough talking JUST START BUILDING THE FUCKING LEVEL ALRE- And here's the playthrough. I cannot believe how this took us THREE FUCKING YEARS TO DO.
(This took me like 20 minutes to type what the actual fuck)
I finished the video and can confirm that information is correct
This video was so interesting to watch! Keep up the great content, StormFly!
What an amazing and interesting video! Greatly enjoyed the whole video. Keep up the great work🔥
Stormfly’s voice is amazing for these stories/documentaries. Ever since i first heard that this level was a mystery, i wanted to know everything about it. Its crazy how a simple level in a $4 cube game can have such a huge backstory and mystery around it. Really hope that some day, maybe in the far future, this whole mystery will be solved, and we will have the full, complete version of Element 111 Rg…
idk if its just me but his voice is kinda unnerving sometimes
Can't wait to watch this video all the way through twice.
the aura and vibe this level and its history gives off is enough to make this most interesting,amazing and deepest story ive seen in my 7 years of knowing and playing the game,at least in my opinion.
this video is a masterpiece,huge respects to you for carrying on with this restoration project for so long.
So much effort, my god, hats off to you! Great job, we need more people like you!
Wow, what a crazy story. While I do wish for an ideal future where the level is somehow fully 100% properly restored with complete proof of absolutely everything, or straight up a legit copy of the original level, this current restoration is already amazing enough, and with much more research put into it than any other level I have ever learned about. If this is the end of this level's story, it's more than just "good enough", it's phenomenal. What an achievement!
I'm pretty sure there is actually a feature for looking back in old youtube videos.
Type in "before:(year) (search term)" without the quotation marks or the brackets, and you'll narrow it down some.
Idk how much that'll help, but it does exist as a tool to search for older youtube videos.
Yep, you could do something like searching: "before:2014-4-15 after:2014-4-7 geometry dash"
But it probably wont show anything interesting.
@@ninjarc.2715it didn't
One of the best videos I've ever seen. This level is so interesting to me and I'd only now just heard about it.
The work put into this is nothing short of insane. Thank you
brother, this was one of the most brutal levels ive seen, its crazy how the difficulty level its mostly like to be something from TODAY
I haven't thought that this level has a very deep story behind it, genuinely mind blowing
I didn't knew that much about the level. But this is just the perfect video that I could've watched that explains all of the methods finding that could lead to a full restoration of the level. Maybe a day, someone in the community that cares enough about Element 111 RG will find a new method that could hopefully restore the full level once and for all...
But sometimes, it's great to keep a mystery unsolved.
another amazing video from you, keep up the good work!
Awesome video, and amazing people trying to restore a... well... maybe not so amazing level... XD Great job Stormfly and Restoration Union co! Was just wondering, this is me just throwing an idea out there, but I have noticed that Pauze has been updating older levels with bugs and fixing them on other people's accounts. He has done it on both yellow and green accounts, so I was just thinking, wouldn't he be able to access BeKiD's account and save data and maybe even find the level? Or even access DarkX's account and find the level on there (since there's a possibility RobTop deleted the level and so it may still be on DarkX's save data)? Just some food for thought. :D Also, how can I get in contact with Arco? I'm thinking about restarting the series, with all old levels still in it, but maybe have some modern creators add some new ones and finally finish the series! Thanks for the video again and sorry this comment is so long, lol!
The level was confirmed to be deleted by RobTop himself so it might be on DarkX's account. Good idea!
DarkX doesn't have an account
first, the updates are not done through accounts, just robtop updating the levels from his end. darkx’s green account doesn’t even still exist, meaning he likely deleted the game or something. bekid doesn’t have the auto or pictures anymore, either.
lastly, while he recognizes that people have been able to make good levels similar to the element series, arco has stated that only levels by the original team are the official levels, meaning no more levels will be added
@@geo1496 would an unfinished old level by an official creator that got finished by someone else be counted as an official level? Also, would a restored level that had gotten redecorated and/or buffed, made more fun to play and synced count as well?
The more I learn about this level, the more it looks like it was made to be forgotten and later put back together like some sort of puzzle
I think this video is the best one that this community has ever made, across all these 10 years. So much so, that I keep coming back to it every once in a while, just to rewatch it.
Loved the ambience music haha. Great video
Judging by the screenshot, Rg was BARELY out of the 20 most recent. That's unbelievably tragic.
