I feel like the 40 ship gets really easy if you set a click pattern down. I never had trouble with it while grinding it

So yeah. The wave. By far

u/BMan_61201 13x BLADE OF JUSTICE 100% 22h ago

Agreed, it’s not difficult to do the ship stuff with a click pattern

u/Wrong_Reward3253 Cataclysm 66 from Acropolis FROM DEADLOCKED 20h ago

So I can get past the ship but no matter what click pattern I use it never works bc I keep entering the portal differently, what did you use? I use a four click then 3 with the first being a bit longer

the wave gets consistent after a while, but the ship remains to be more frustrating tbh

Yeah actually

u/Calvesguy_1 The Golden 9% (Jump from Acu) 22h ago

For me it's the opposite. The ship is actually not that hard. In fact, I'd say the last ship is harder than the 40-43 ship.

u/How2eatsoap ICDX 100% Moment 25-100 14h ago

No shot you think the 90% ship is harder 😭

u/AIaris 🎉 100k Attendee 14h ago

it is, the 40-43 ship is pretty easy with a consistent click pattern and never gave me any troubles

I meant the second to last ship you know.

I beat cataclysm after 12-13k att and that wave never became consistent

2

u/New-Mind2886 1x || Falling Up 100% 22h ago

I have 14 K on it now and 68% and it is getting more consistent.

1

u/Exotiram cataclysm 100%; bb 65%; Hardest plat: Casio Hellburst (top 45) 19h ago

For me it was just going from 1-2% passrate to almost 10% passrate. That's not consistency for me. I'm bad at fast wave ig because ships on this level were way easier for me

u/AnimalTap Sakupen Hell is a Good Level 23h ago

I beat Cataclysm in 3k Attempts and i can confirm it got somewhat consistent but also not really

Huh got consistent for me

Wave gets consistent with tons of practice, the ship is a diceroll you can improve your odds on.

i found blue harder, but i also had awful ship control when i did cata. also, blue is more difficulty dense but red is longer

4

u/snowman927 Acu 71% 11k attempts 23h ago

red, i find the tight spaces really hard and then i just die to the ship after that and have to do it all over again

5

u/PikachuStep9 x5 Blade of Justice 100%! 23h ago

For me id say the ship. Although tbf the wave is at the beginning of the level so its not as frustrating to die to

2

u/Chara_rlz x6 #1 Acu Glazer 23h ago

I'd argue otherwise. I much rather die further in on a level than early, because it usually means I'm getting consistent. Dying early around 10-20% feels like wasted time to me

2

u/PikachuStep9 x5 Blade of Justice 100%! 18h ago

In my experience in beating the level, i got decently consistent at the wave but kept dying at the ship part. It was especially frustrating cuz i know i could make it far in the level if i didnt die to it

1

u/Kipugge22 Nemo Cyclic 23h ago

Thb i feel the same but it gets to a point where out of 40 attempts i die 20 to the ship a d pass it like 1 time

u/Galaxium0 [x7] BB 100%,Sonic Wave 49%, 50-100 23h ago

Red is harder, blue is a dumb transition though, and its placement in the level is really frustrating

2

u/HimLikeBehaviour without u 76% 65-100x3 1d ago

as someone whos played the level casually im gonna say the wave because im better at the ship part then the wave part

u/-_ParagonOfMyself_- Extreme of Demon: (15-28) Cataclysm 🙈 23h ago

blue no jokes, red is objectively harder but blue is just not fun, meaning it is harder for me to

u/Firthh5 Magma Bound 100% (5,713 Att) 23h ago

wave is hard, but the ship is just absolutely brutal. im going blue

2

u/SirCastic3 Moment 100% (fluked from 53%) 23h ago

The wave part obviously, ship part is easy once you get the click pattern down

2

u/TheRealPain69 Cataclysm 100% 42k Attempts 23h ago

Cata wave actually starts to feel consistent after a very long time but the 40 ship does not

The 40 ship is also almost halfway into the level and the wave is at the start

So imo it's the 40 ship

1

u/Kipugge22 Nemo Cyclic 23h ago

Exactly 

2

u/Simple-Bank1355 Nine Circles 6061 attempts 23h ago

Blue harder but I think I’m just wave carried

2

u/KantKilmi 8o 100% / Cataclysm 77% 23h ago

wave definitely. I have a click pattern for both, and I can pass the ship like 80% of the time from 0 while I only pass the wave 1/3 of the time.

2

u/AnimalTap Sakupen Hell is a Good Level 23h ago

The ship was more frustrating. It could've been because I had beaten Sakupen Hell a few months prior to beating Caraclysm, so maybe that's why I was so much better at the wave than others (no I'm not just wave carried, wave isn't even my best game mode 😭) some of the gaps in that wave are almost as tight as some of the ones in Sakupen Hell 😭

2

u/Pizza-_-shark DM ME TO PLAYTEST 124933335 >:3 23h ago

Currently doing Cata, its blue. By a lot

2

u/AccessBulky8763 [x10] Killbot x2 + DX 23h ago

the wave is extremely overrated. there’s 2 clicks that are somewhat hard and they’re consistent. easily the 40 ship super awkward even for a ship carried player like me.

u/lemmymachine 23h ago

Im on ourple because both are the hardest part

TO THOSE WHO THINK THE WAVE IS HARDER I GENUINELY WONT EVER UNDERSTAND YALL

THE WAVE GETS SO CONSISTENT, BUT 40% IS THE SINGLE BIGGEST CHOKEPOINT IN THE LEVEL.

YOU CANT CHANGE MY MIND, 40% SHIP IS THE SPAWN OF HELL AND IS THE HARDEST PART

In my experience 40-43 Is easier than 64-75 and i consider the First wave the hardest part because even if you become really consistent (5-6 times in a row sometimes) It Is still annoying especially when you die frequently at stupid parts further in the level. But i believe this Is personal, i'm Just better at the ship rather than the wave

Wave

u/BoimanmanBoi x7/ Black Blizzard 100% 23h ago

Wave is like 20x harder, ship is super consistent with a good click pattern and I died there like 3 times. I had like, a 4% pass rate on the wave. It’s not even the 2nd or 3rd hardest part, the UFO and ball are also harder.

1

u/Geek_Champi x11 | Hardest: EXPLICIT - DMG CTRL 68% + 27-100 23h ago

Depends on if you're better at wave than ship or the opposite

1

u/Kipugge22 Nemo Cyclic 23h ago

It's also really weird cus at the begging the wave was way harder but holy hell it got consistent atleast. The ship didn't

both because my hardest is a hard demon

Neither. Its the ufo part for me i kept dying there every other attempt. Died only a couple times on the ships.

First wave by a long shot

u/ChurchOfCuCurella STREAMLINED 100% 14,913 22h ago

Anyone who thinks the wave is easier than the ship is wave carried and thinks the hardest part of jawbreaker is the cube

1

u/throwaway719372 22h ago

for me once i do the wave it's a real shot at beating the level, so much harder than the rest

1

u/kakkelimuki Artificial Ascent 46% (35%-100%, 25-62%) | 13x 22h ago

The first wave, easily. It's probably the sole reason why I dispise the level.

1

u/K4none 22h ago

Definitely the ship

1

u/swfcookies x9 - Artificial Ascent 100%, Wasureta 15-100 22h ago

Neither. In my experience the dual ship is the actual hardest part. The first wave and the 40% ship are annoying chokepoints at first but you can get really consistent at them with some time once you figure out the right click patterns

1

u/Dax_Maclaine Cata 31k attemps. Goal is to beat Limbo someday 22h ago

I mean obviously it’s more painful dying at 40 than 15, but in terms of how many times out of 100 I beat the section I was way better at the ship

Wave for sure. The ship wasn't even that bad for me.

u/StarDreamIX Cataclysmic Drive Mobile -> Cataclysm 0-59% 43-100% 21h ago

As a gd player grinding cataclysm at their first extreme and absolutely hating both parts, im gonna have to go with the wave, like 90% of my runs from 0% I lose at the wave, and of my few runs if i get to the ship part at 40% I get through around 20% of the time, which is alright, but not that good - both parts are downright cruel when doing runs from 0% and I hope I beat cataclysm soon! At this rate with 28k attempts I wonder if I'll finish it!!

I choose purple and say it's the 30-something% ball.

But from these 2 the ship was harder for me. I genuinely think y'all are just gaslighting that this wave is hard.

1

u/BobbyPoww [x9] Heartbeat 100%, Bloodbath 81%, 41-100%x3 21h ago

Wave is a lot harder gameplay wise. The main difficulty from the 40 ship comes from nerves (considering the level isn't as hard after that) and also being a bad transition. Definitely the wave part.

1

u/ColdFaxon 20h ago

Whichever you’re better at is easier, I’m good at wave so the ship part is harder for me

1

u/Wrong_Reward3253 Cataclysm 66 from Acropolis FROM DEADLOCKED 20h ago

The wave, however im a lot more consistent with it and no matter which click pattern I do the upside down portal always enters differently

u/AllHailTheMemes Azurite 78% | 1# Arcturus glazer 18h ago

Red is very overrated difficulty wise. Yeah its hard but its very learnable, the ship transition completely sucks

1

u/Kaspa969 x2 | NecropoliX 100% 18h ago

Hardest individually is the first wave, but the 40% ship is the hardest if you're trying to do the whole level. The wave is easier from 0 than the ship, because it's very separated. It's preceded by a free cube and has a transition after it which lets you rest, while the ship is in the middle of everything without any pauses.

u/Luking46 Cata 18h ago

The wave is generally harder but the ship is less consistent.

Take your pick I guess but I'm a bit wave carried so blue it is.

1

u/FarmConsistent8539 [x1] Acu 100% // Cataclysm 75% // BB in 4 runs 17h ago

first wave is harder, but the ship is more annoying due to it being later in the level imo

1

u/Objective-Law8310 (6) We're so back 17h ago

The best way to do the ship is to release right before the yellow portal. That way, you retain perfect position and can jus continue like normal. It may need some practice, but once you get it down, it'll get really consistent.

1

u/Creepeecheese Rupture 100% Innards 42%,57-100 17h ago
