Conqueror's Peak

Past the peak of Celeste Mountain remains the memories and world of another individual--a self proclaimed "Conqueror". Journey with Madeline through his world and experience an entire new side of Celeste Mountain...where the shadows seemingly converge.

Hey, this map was created by me! This will be my first publicly released map and it's quite the monster, made over the course of almost an entire year on and off. Needless to say, I'm pretty stoked it's finally done. To get to the big selling point: Yes, this map has a completely new, designed from the ground up custom boss fight at the end (and maybe even a little more, if you know where to look). Without spoiling much--it's a 1v1 fight, no gimmicks, just Madeline and her dash, an added "HP bar" for some leniency, no items, Fox only, Final Destination sort of thing. It's pretty heavily inspired by Hollow Knight bosses, so if you see some similarities in gameplay, it probably was intentional.

So if that sounds interesting to you, give it a try! It'd mean a lot to me :)

Alright, I've wasted enough of your time. Here's some general map info.

General Info:

• 100+ rooms of gameplay
• 30+ berries
• Custom OST, SFX, Entities (2000+ lines of code probably, I didn't count lol)
• A Crystal Heart hidden behind a couple of secrets
• Some edgy, cryptic lore pieces--quite melodramatic, if you're into that type of thing.
• A custom boss fight(?s?)

Difficulty/Tech required: This map is aimed towards players who've completed Farewell and the C-Sides, so the difficulty is around there, if not slightly harder. If you've beaten the levels in vanilla Celeste, you can probably beat this map.

Movement tech required includes wavedashing, wallbounces, and hyperdashing. All techs required for a full clear are taught to you in vanilla Celeste.

Misc Disclaimers:

• Debug mode (especially teleporting to rooms) could potentially cause crashes/weird bugs--use at your own discretion.
• I recommend playing with Photosensitive Mode OFF for the first time if possible--the map doesn't contain anything super annoying or flashy (I think, at least), just minor effects that pop up occasionally which adds something to the visual experience. Obviously if you're prone to epilepsy or seizures, then keep the mode on.
• The boss is inspired heavily by Hollow Knight bosses. Certain elements of the map is also inspired by different Celeste custom maps, perhaps most obviously being Glyph in couple aspects. Go play that if you haven't already btw, it's still one of the best Celeste mods out there!
• Music, code, art, etc. was pretty much all done by me. It was quite the endeavor but I'm super glad I saw everything through to the end and finished.
• Been asked this a few times so I'm adding it in: yes the boss fight is RNG. I'm sorry in advance to the speedrunners

Soundcloud playlist If you'd like to use the music, please contact me first! I'll more than likely agree.

Contact: Feel free to contact me if you have any feedback/bug reports! I spent a ton of time playtesting and getting others to playtest, but that doesn't mean the map is bug free, especially with the sheer amount of custom code written. Twitter Discord - ricky06#9297 Email - ricky.rt.06@gmail.com I'll probably be most likely to respond if you DM me on Discord. I'm also in the Celestecord so feel free to ping me there!

Hope you guys enjoy!
