Fear Gynt (Artox)
This gyntening, Omnipresence is here! Fight through multiple fears to beat him and last the night! (And no, this is not part of my story Blinding Abyss).
Fear Gynt is a level created by Artox for the Gyntening. It features Omnipresence as a boss, marking his debut. The level is themed around different fears, with Omnipresence attacking the player using a variety of phobias.
Layout
Opening
- Omnipresence, Fear Gynt
After a message to indicate the level (like other Gyntening levels) is not a part of Black Heart, Omnipresence appears as a Giant eye in the center of the screen to represent Opthalmophobia (fear of being stared at). Looking around at the player, he introduces himself and warns the player for being out late at night before leaving to start the fear attacks.
Checkpoint 1
The first attacks begin, with arachnophobia (fear of spiders) appearing first. A giant spider drops down in the center of the screen and hangs there before descending. Phonophobia (fear of sound) is used in the next part of the checkpoint, with sound waves dashing across the screen. Omnipresence then reappears briefly, transitioning the level into astrapophobia (fear of thunder/lightning). This section features a giant thundercloud on the top of the screen, which shoots out massive bolts of lightning downwards. In the final flash of light, the fear switches to thassalophobia (fear of deep water). Giant dark orbs fly up into a large mass at the top of the screen while the camera scrolls down.
Checkpoint 2
Perry shows up and moves to the center of the screen, questioning why the player is out at night. After learning of it being the Gyntening night, Perry suggests an escape but is quickly interrupted by Omnipresence's return, with him now appearing as a giant mask. Remarking that Perry escaped from him last time, Omnipresence leaves and Perry is promptly crushed by a pair of metal jaws before he can figure out what to do next.
Checkpoint 3
As Perry’s dead body falls, the section for cleithrophobia (fear of small, enclosed places) begins. The metal jaws that killed Perry are used as attacks that function similarly to Myst’s biting attack in ol666’s Peer Gynt level. A cage will also swing across the screen occasionally, which can be dashed through to avoid damage. Once the cage swings by for the second time, the nyctophobia (fear of darkness) section starts immediately. which is represented with black bullets and an eye floating up from the bottom of the screen across a dark background.
Checkpoint 4
- Omnipresence, Fear Gynt
Omnipresence reappears at the top of the screen as the final fear panophobia (fear of everything) begins. Large circle bullets rise from the bottom as ghosts fly out from Omnipresence's body. A trap attacks at the bottom of the screen and Omnipresence releases a few shockwaves.
After the attacks end, Omnipresence reappears in his eye form, admits defeat, and leaves. The special thanks for the level then shows as it ends.

Trivia
- Oneriophobia (fear of dreams/nightmares) is faintly visible during the second buildup, right before Omnipresence shows his full body for the first time.
- Although being Omnipresence's debut, the level is not canon to Blinding Abyss, the storyline that Omnipresence is in.
