I have done my new knytt stories level called the Ascent to Death
Thanks to Purple pineapple for beta testing and difficulty recommendation.

Story
Juni is taking a vacation in the sinagiya ski resort. At night, when she was taking a walk. She finds a god that needs
juni's help to do a task called the Ascent to death. Juni accepts... Whats going to happen.

Game Info
This level takes you on an another adventure with juni. The game will start easy with basic traps.
As you get further through the game, It will get harder. When you get the powerups, You must

These two places are a secret... Can you find them

Download link
Here is the link to the download at sendspace: http://www.sendspace.com/file/qemse6

NOTE: I have uploaded the good version. I have uploaded an outdated version where there were more glitches. You must download this one so you can progress through the level.

Closing
I hope you enjoy this game, Don't get discouraged, All traps are possible. Good luck
I forgot to mention... Im making a harder and longer sequel to this game... Good luck beating this one.
EDIT: I have decided to scrap the expanded version, I realized this level is very lousy. If you really want me to though, I might make a remake of Ascent to Death with all the same traps except with better tilesets and gradients
Have a nice day.

Oh jeez. This level again. Don't get me wrong: It's a great level. It's just extremely difficult.

Spoiler: A word of warning (click to show/hide)

If you know how to make a direct link at the forum, Tell me. Ill make a direct link for the game.
You can attach bin files to your post. Use the 'additional options' right below where you type. Unfortunately, the moderators have forbidden attaching KS levels to posts. You can upload them, however, to knyttlevels.com (http://knyttlevels.com) and link to them thus:

Ok, I'm trying to get through this level. So far the only lunatic area I've encountered is

Confession time. I used "God" mode to get through that after countless failures. I wanted to continue and not give up because so far I've really enjoyed the level!

Now, I've come to a stumbling block.

Please, a little hint as to where to go next?

*update* Nevermind. Found it!

Just wait. This level has plenty of lunatic challenges. There are perhaps 20 areas exactly like that.

Are you trying spoil the entire level?

x982y1014: is there a way to get back from there at all? I used the cheat to deal with this bug.

I don't know what to do in x1016y1000. The speed I get with umbrella on wind is far from what's needed to get on top of that edge. I have no double jump, of course. Should I use the cheat here too or is there some way?

x982y1014. Climb close to the top of the wall but not too much. just enough height so you have room to jump upwards just until your about to hit the wall. Then go all the way to the right with the umbrella equipped. You
should be able to make it.
Tip: Hold S while gliding with the umbrella, It gives you more glide time.
x1016y1000. You should be able to climb the top part of the ghost wall. Ill check something

By the way... Props for getting this far but there is still much more challenges.

Holy ****, I screwed up...
I uploaded an outdated version, Hold on. I'm uploading the good version up

Post by: GrayFace on November 27, 2010, 14:25:49
Thanks.

Tip: Hold D while gliding with the umbrella, It gives you more glide time.
Do you mean S? Or does D also decrease falling speed?
Title: Re: [Lunatic, Challenge, Large] The Ascent to Death
Post by: PeppyHare4000 on November 27, 2010, 14:56:33
Yeah, its actually S. Thanks for the correction and D will turn off the umbrella midair. It will decrease your falling speed and position. Use this to your advantage.

Download the new version, the second mistake you mentioned was a glitch

Wow. I've finished it. It was huge! I have mixed feelings. For the most part, I enjoyed the level. I liked multiple endings and the huge world. On the other hand, I've never seen so many clones of the same challenge (mentioned above by lamarblake and PP) in my life. What was worse is some other screens, like luck-based ones, or green button with a runner animal and a shooting fish. E.g. the cannon in x1013y936 kills you 75% of the time no matter what you do. It felt like a Very Hard level with a number of broken challenges. Sequence of screens starting at x1002y1022 was a bad joke. God bless Nifflas and LPChip for the cheat :)

First mistake was a glitch too, x985y1014 didn't contain the small platforms it has now.

Keep up the good work and design challenges more carefully and creatively in Descent To Hell!

Get the Best Ending Yet :shifty:

Anyways, Thanks for the constructive criticism and i am glad you liked the level. I will do my best to make individual traps for the level. You do know that it will be a bit hard to accomplish because of the size of the level.

Already got the best ending 8) The normal ending was harder.
