The Story of GD's Most Mysterious Level

i like to think that darkx actually knows about your attempts to restore his level and is having a laugh about it

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.

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 <3 Big thanks to everyone in Restoration Union, Arco, Auber and everyone else who helped with this over the years!

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

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.

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 ❤

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.

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.

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

Masterful storytelling and research. We need such great documentarians like you to preserve the legacy of the GD community.

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.

I am so proud of myself to be a loyal Stormfly fan

I always love Stormfly’s explanations. They are extremely detailed and on point. He’s basically in line Colon.

The fact that this level could literally just be sitting somewhere in the sea of the internet waiting to be found is insane.

Twitter has turned into the new dark X

This reminds me of the time where CGP Grey spent half of a year trying to find the oldest Tiffany.

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!

I am not the biggest geometry dash fan,but this? This is monumental. Congratulations to everyone who worked on this,and their incredible work.

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.
