Citadel of Simple Beginnings

The Citadel of Simple Beginnings (CoSB) is an Easy difficulty citadel found within Ring 1. This is the tutorial citadel and is the easiest in-game citadel. This citadel is important for introducing all the basic mechanics and client objects you will find throughout the game's citadels.

This should be attempted as soon as you start playing the game, and should be your first citadel. It could also introduce some things Juke's Towers of Hell doesn't use or doesn't teach new players.

Introduction
This citadel contains a secret ending, and so far nobody has beaten it, and only a few people know of it's location. It's around Remorseless difficulty, so be warned. The ending consists of 4 different trials, each one is very difficult, and sends you back to the beginning when failed.. However, they are very short. So far, nobody has seen anything past the second trial. If you wish to attempt it, good luck!

Location
To find the secret ending, you'll first need to head up to the floor 3 citadel crossing. Once you're there, you should be able to find a semi-transparent cancollide false wall at the bottom of the mountain in CoFA. Hit the button inside. You'll then want to keep going normally until the very end of floor 5. Once you come out the top of 5B, hit the button at the start of floor 6 and drop back down in front of the truss where the entrance to 5B used to be. Corner-clip the truss to get into 5B, then head over to where the large pushbox is spawned. You should see a hole in the ground with a teleporter at the bottom. Once you hit it, you should be sent back to the lobby. You'll then need to hit 3 buttons to progress."1st button: Right around the back of the spawn building.""2nd button: To the right of the Citadel of Humor portal.""3rd button: Below a tree's leaves behind the intermediate citadels section.""Once you hit the 3 buttons, make your way to the location of Trial of Patience. Enter the portal and continue the citadel normally to the winpad. Climb the final ladder and you should end up in CoSB:SE!"

History

 * When the ending was first added, the way to get in was using a flatwall. Now it's a corner clip on a truss.
 * Also when the ending was first added, there were instakills under each challenge instead of a teleporter, making it Extreme difficulty.

Trivia

 * This is the easiest in-game citadel.
 * There's a lot of history to this citadel, as it started out with less floors than a regular citadel.
 * On floor 10 it switches to a nature-theme for the rest of the citadel.
 * The citadel has been revamped twice. The first time was a major overhaul which completely redid the citadel. The second was to add an extra floor (now floor 3) and teach a couple of left-out mechanics,
 * This citadel was the second to get a citadel crossing, the first being Citadel of Hopes and Dreams. Even though this citadel came before CoHaD, it's citadel crossing came in the revamp.

"The citadel crossing takes place at the end of floor 3, and takes you to floor 2 of Citadel of Flower Ascension. It also teaches you some new mechanics used in CoFA before sending you back to the main citadel."


 * On floor 8, a special morpher mechanic is used that moves and entire wall down.
 * Floor 9 is actually a wedge-shaped floor at the bottom of the dropper, meaning the citadel looks like it only has 12 floors.
 * On the difficulty chart, there is some small text under the acronym that says "The Tutorial Citadel"

Continuing From This Point
Congrats on what was likely your first citadel. It may have been very easy, but it's the tutorial, and you've got to start somewhere. Next, you should beat the Citadel of Downward Success as it's not a big jump in difficulty.
