Gauntlets

Gauntlets, formally titled The Lost Gauntlets, are a feature of Geometry Dash, introduced during Update 2.1 with content being gradually included post-release. They are accessed from the directive menu.

Description

A gauntlet is comprised of a selection of five user levels of similar yet increasing difficulty, which are required to be completed sequentially. There are the standard level rewards, as well as diamonds for making progress on levels. Completing a gauntlet rewards more diamonds, and may further reward mana orbs, shards, icons and other special items. There are a total of ten gauntlets, some of which are initially locked or hidden.

An upcoming update will include five new gauntlets: Time, Spike, Monster, Death, and Magic Gauntlets. The latter will contain levels determined from contests.

Rewards

Trivia

  • The first 6 Gauntlets are based on the Shards of Power, all of which are the Fire, Ice, Poison, Shadow, Lava and the Bonus shards.
    • However, because you can only have up to 100 of each shard at a time (as of 2.1), if you have an amount of shards that will have you reach over 100 when redeeming prizes from these gauntlets, each shard will be replaced with 100 Mana Orbs each.
  • Gauntlets are similar to map packs in being collections of user levels that offer rewards, although number of levels, rewards and order of play differ.
  • Gauntlets share the same five sequential level access that is featured in Geometry Dash World, although gauntlets themselves do not need to be played in order unlike worlds.
  • Gauntlet level orders and the levels themselves have been changed post-release.
    • For the Fire Gauntlet, after one day, Magmatic Sanctuary, which was initially ordered first, was shifted to fifth due to its underestimated difficulty.
    • For the Ice Gauntlet, after one day, Skyward, which was initially ordered fifth, was shifted to second due to its overestimated difficulty.
    • For the Chaos Gauntlet, after a few hours, Blade, which was initially ordered fourth, was removed upon request by its creator. Kappaclysm then advanced to fourth position and Drippy Dub acquired third position.
  • Fire Aura, Kappaclysm and Scarlet Surge are currently the only 1.9 levels to be in the Gauntlets.
    • Kappaclysm is also the only level in the Gauntlets to also be in a Map Pack. Progress is tracked separately for each group.
  • Kappaclysm is an easier version of Cataclysm, an extreme demon.
  • Scarlet Surge is the only officially included user level that has a length of XL.
  • Infernal Arena and Ichor are the only levels in the gauntlets that share a song.
  • If you go into Geometry Dash's files, you can find a sheet of gauntlet icons, the mass majority of them being unreleased.
  • As of November 13, 2017, Mechanical Showdown was the only level that could reward 30 stars, as it was available to play as a standard user level, as a Gauntlet level, and as the Weekly Demon.
