Crash Bandicoot - N. Sane Trilogy - Unused DLC Level: Stormy Ascent (Gem)

Here it is, this unused level finally available to the public. What can I say about it? It's merciless. Easily the hardest level to get through without dying. This time we get some brand new content as well in form of a new Nitrus Brio bonus stage. This one was fun to figure out, and it's not hard when you know what to do.

This run wasn't perfect. I took damage on that thing at 2:35 and I generally found it hard to avoid. The worst part is 4:27, another place where I took damage a lot. I have no trouble admitting I needed many attempt to get through this. The gem from this level brings my percentage to 102, so does that mean I will get even more with the relics? We'll see what happens.

This level wasn’t so bad. It only took me 137 lives and my sanity.

Good Luck! (You're Gonna Need It.) That hint killed me

Stormy Ascent is when Slippery Climb and Sunset Vista have a baby, and that baby grew up to be freaking ripped.

[PrismaticAngel]

This level is basically Slippery Climb with the length of Sunset Vista. Oh, and those stupid rotating platforms.

"Good luck! (you're gonna need it)" LMAO

I wonder what Naughty Dog thinks of this level finally seeing the light of day

[DylanStar]

7 Years Later and you uploaded the re-mastered version of this stage.

[DouglasQuaid]

pffft this was so easy, it only took me....






several hours and 60 lives lost

[LilacDownDeep]

That is SUCH a delightfully clever Brio stage!

LET THE STORMY ASCENT PLATINUM RELIC RACE BEGIN!

When I talk about this, people ask, "Is this the hardest level?" Hmm, let's see, we have incredibly fast platforms with some complex moving patterns, stupidly hard jumps and bouncing off of vultures, hard-to-dodge enemies and obstacles, and not to mention getting all of the crates. I started this level with 90 lives, and when I beat it, I had only 15 lives left. YEAH, THIS IS THE HARDEST

[declinerrexlete]

Imagine at the end you have no lives and you accidentally fall before the portal

[BigKlingy]

Wow, that new Bonus looks evil. Shows hope that VV can make new content in the spirit of the originals, but man it's crazy.

[LittleBigPlanetian]

Good Luck! (You're Gonna Need it)

[Megumi_Bandicoot]

Am I the only one who thinks those vultures look freaking badass.

[jakabrobert]

Funnily enough, the spike at 2:35 is really easy to avoid if you just stay on the stairs when it retracts and slide down without moving.

[jezmitsingh]

After more than 20 years, we finally get to a legit Stormy Ascent! Man that actually feels really good 😂👍🏼 goodjob VV.

[Smartacus]

I started this level with 58 lives and finished it with 4. I was so close to game over that I almost cried when I finished it and got the gem.

The sound effects of the character's shoes landing on surface is satisfying to hear in the Nsane Trilogy, small details awesome results

[jmdefault]

This level is pure undestilled evil and the addition of the new Brio stage makes it even more so
