Lava Tower

Main article: Lava Tower.

Lava Tower is a short but challenging map that takes place inside a room with a tower. You are supposed to go up the tower as the lava rises from below, which kills anyone who falls or is too slow. Not many people survive this map as it is known for being cramped and having very sharp camera turning while playing. However, there are shortcuts that can help making button pressing easier.

Crystal Caverns

Main article: Crystal Caverns.

Crystal Caverns is a water-based map inside a cavern of crystal formations. You'll have to get an air tank and swim a lot to the end zone without drowning. On top of that, you must dodge the numerous crystals hanging from the cave to press the buttons. This map might be tricky for players especially when doing solo because the buttons are spread out and the underwater section is long enough for slow players to drown. This map is the only map with no acid or lava and believe it or not, the map used to be an Easy map before being added to the game.

Snowy Peaks

Main article: Snowy Peaks.

Snowy Peaks is located in snow-covered peaks. There are snow-capped rocks and trees and some wood-plank jumps. There are a variety of jumps, including skinny planks, small rock formations, boxes, and more. Players can die on this map if they are too lazy/slow. Despite being a Hard map, this map used to be a Normal map before being added.

Dark Sci-Forest

Main article: Dark Sci-Forest.

Dark Sci-Forest is a forest filled with poisonous liquid, lava, futuristic equipment, and of course, obstacles to the end. It has many trees, boxes with antennae, and wooden poles. The parkour varies from swimming in a purple acid to jumping on platforms suspended way high up above ground. Not only they have a similar theme, Dark Sci-Facility and this map is connected because according to Crazyblox, once the players reach the end of the map, the floor will come crashing down to Dark Sci-Facility. The acid can drown players very quickly, so they may have to wait for 1-2 seconds which can be a problem because using up too much time will end up in you drowning as the acid will soon rise and turn to lava.

Graveyard Cliffside

Main article: Graveyard Cliffside.

Graveyard Cliffside is a map themed after ghosts and Halloween, with a ghost wall behind you that kills players instantly. There is also lava, which is known to not rise. There are many graves, complete with gravestones and some ghosts. This map was remade for the 2018 Halloween season and was speculated to be removed. However, due to the lack of existing Hard maps at that time, it remained as an official map.

Wild Savannah

Main article: Wild Savannah.

Wild Savannah is located in an spacious savannah with boxes, brown grasses, and rock. It's known to be very hard with some difficult jumps, wall jumps, and wedge jumps, which were both introduced in this map. Acid and lava rises fairly fast, killing many players quickly. It is thought to be one of the hardest hard maps, being harder than some Insane Maps. Players can die on the final button due to a far jump from one of the planks to a small plank.

Sedimentary Temple

Main article: Sedimentary Temple.

Sedimentary Temple is a desert-themed map that takes place in a temple filled with hot sand, replacing the lava. The map may be tricky for most players as there is many thin jumps and one wrong move can send falling to the hot sand. At one point in the map, players will reach the outside area which will soon be followed a large room with lava on the floor. Players must be fast as the lava and hot sand rises fast and some of the doors will close once the hot sand/lava is high enough.

Sunken Citadel

Main article: Sunken Citadel.

Sunken Citadel is an underwater themed map that takes place in a ruined citadel that has sunken underwater. The map has turquoise lava, corals, a lot of ruined structures, seagrass, and other decorative stuff. It contains wall jumps, many unique platforming like jellyfish and more. Players cannot waste time as the parkour is said to be harder than most Hard Maps and the lava is known to rise fast. Because of that, many players say that this is the hardest Hard map.

Relic Valley

Main article: Relic Valley.

Relic Valley takes place in a vast, mysterious valley at nighttime with a purple ambience. You can see glowing crystals across the map, this may be the reason behind the map's name. You can see large purple trees, boxes, and wooden scaffolding scattered across the map. There is also what a mineshaft in the middle part of the map, which looks like to be collecting the glowing crystals.

Poisonous Forest

Main article: Poisonous Forest.

Poisonous Forest takes place in a forest flooded with purple poison. The forest is filled with wooden structures, pine trees, purple lanterns, and a lot of crates. Players must jump across wooden beams and scaffolding as falling to the poison below will cause immediate death. After pressing the 6th button, a large door will open, revealing giant tunnel. To get across, player must ride a zipline. After that, players will be greeted with an enormous cave with many stalactites and stalagmites and more wooden platforms. There is also a poison waterfall. To escape, players must jump down a crack on the floor, and will end up at the beginning of Poisonous Chasm.

Fallen (Classic)

Main article: Fallen (Classic).

Fallen (Classic) takes place in a monochromatic realm or dimension, surrounded by what looks to be gigantic crystals and crumbling platforms. This map maintains its theme by using ColorCorrection, which gives the map its black, white, and grey hue. If you are too slow, the platforms will slowly fade until they disappear and you can fall into the abyss below. The fog below the platforms has lava in it and you will die instantly if you fall.

Autumn Hideaway

Main Article: Autumn Hideaway.

Autumn Hideaway was once located in a small glade with a waterfall taking place in autumn. Since the map takes place in autumn, the trees' leaves and grass are colored orange and brown. There was also an under water button behind the waterfall, a bridge that will break up, and an invisible arrow. Before its removal, it was commonly called the easiest Hard map before Crystal Caverns or Snowy Peaks because usually, most players will survive, leading the server to Insane. This map was removed in early January 2019 and was in FE2 Community Maps Legacy for a short period.
