**The Faded Original** is the 58th level in Dancing Line. Currently it is removed from the game.

* This was the **hardest** level,beating The Chinese Garden, until The Racing released. (The Legend of Assassin once was temporarily rated the hardest level)
* This level was removed in version 2.3.8, April 18th, 2019 due to CM's rights to the song expiring. Players who have purchased this level before the removal will retain this level.

## Soundtrack

The BPM is 90 for the entire song, with a 4/4 time signature.

## Difficulty

* If you take the path that leads to the first gem, DO NOT TAP, because the jumper will auto-turn for the line.
* The main reason this level is difficult is that of the fog and the camera distance.
* The noir changes to a colourful scheme numerous times and distract you at the 50% sign.
	+ The camera will be far away and the path is narrow.
* The holes containing cubes might distract you. (55% - 66%)
* Near the first crown, the camera moves quickly. Letting the building cover the line could make you lose.
* The colors in 40% to 60% are distracting, making you easy to lose.

## Strategy

* The best strategy for a level like this is to focus on the music and expect quick taps (5 taps in a row). Watching a playthrough while copying the player's taps might help.
* In the The Racing's update, guidelines were added to all levels. Enabling them may make this level much easier.
* 50%: Press four times before noir changes[Tap like this] (XXXX XX (noir changes here) X X X X X X XXXX X X X X X X X X X X X X X X XXXX....)

## Trivia

* On July 24th, 2018, Dancing Line's official YouTube channel uploaded a music teaser for this level.

* + Most percentage markers in this level are placed at the wrong location.
		- The 70% marker is placed at the 82%.
		- The 30% marker is placed at the 17%.
			* The 30% marker disappears when the line reaches that point.
* There are very few decorations.
* The level is mostly coloured grey, but some objects are coloured.
* Like the other Alan Walker levels and The Despacito, the game files for this level likely still remain, being proven why this level is still able to be played after being removed if it was purchased.
* This level uses an NCS release version of Faded.
	+ The music is pretty much Faded, except without vocals.
* This is the second level that doesn't feature a pyramid at the end, unlike most levels.
	+ In this case, the line enters an abandoned house, which breaks down on its own.
	+ The first one is The Football.
	+ The third is The Legend of Assassin.
	+ Technically, The Maze is the first, if you get the secret ending.
* In the trial version, the level will stop you at 52%.
	+ After The Legend of Assassin's update, the level's trial version had been extended.
* This level is based upon Faded's music video.
* The third crown doesn't have a crown marker.
* It was the second level to be removed, after The Beginning. Then, levels such as The Despacito, The Faded - Alan Walker and Faded - Easy Mode were also removed.

## Percentage markers

*This level has all of the percentage markers, but almost all of them are below the ground, so they are invisible. There are only three markers which are always visible, which are for 30%, 50%, and 70%. Which are the only markers that can be seen on mobile. All the other markers are below the ground. So they are invisible.*

* The 10% marker is below the ground. It is invisible, but in some cases it can be seen as "0%", since number 1 is still invisible.
* The 20% marker is below the ground. It is invisible, but in some cases it can be seen.
* The 30% marker is on the roof of one of the buildings to the right of the path. When you reach this marker, it is disappearing.
* The 40% marker is below the ground. It is invisible.
* The 50% marker is on the ground to the left of the path when the climax of the level begin.
* The 60% marker is below the ground. It is invisible, but in some cases it can be seen as “60” since the % is still invisible. It is strange that this marker is before the 50% marker. But you can see the 60 and part of the %. Since the rest of the % of the 60% marker is still invisible
* The 70% marker is placed on the ground to the right of the path, next to the ruined buildings.
* The 80% marker is below the ground. It is invisible.
* The 90% marker is below the ground. It is invisible, but in some cases it can be seen. It is strange that this marker is before the 60% marker, and before the 50% marker respectively.
