"This is a big one for me, no doubt. At the time of upload, this is my new 4th hardest star I've beaten and it's been a year and a half since I beat a new star in my top 5. Sometimes this grind felt really frustrating and beat me down but it in the end, I found it very satisfying. Landing on the metal cap box after the 19th red under so much pressure is brutal and I died there a good many times (not always with that many reds, did it early a few times) but after brute forcing some practice on it, it became consistent towards the end which allowed me to get the star. I also had a 19/20 choke right next to the last red just several attempts before this one but I was able to pull through and not let it get inside my head right away.
The hardest individual parts of this stage probably don't compare to the other stars in my top 5 and despite being my #4 hardest, it's still a good ways off from #3. However, this stage is very consistently punishing, everything is hard and chokable and you need to stay focused for the full length of this very long star. That said, star 4 path (the one that ends with landing on the metal cap box) was probably the hardest part for me and gave me quite a few brutal chokes. I'm proud of pulling through this grind and adding this insane star to my list of accomplishments.
Also, I got this on the 4th anniversary of getting Wall Wall Melancholy reds."Â
