10 Hardest Unlockable Characters You Didn't Know Existed

[@HighHeelKnight]

When I think of "Junk Yard Dog" the professional wrestler always comes to my mind. Get Down! 🎶🐕‍🦺🕺⛓️

[@renslo689]

same here

[@UKProgRock]

Same here. I wonder how many under 35 would do the same?

[@joels5150]

Same

[@mrbulldobbs1553]

He would've been a much better companion

[@Jackfantastic]

​@@mrbulldobbs1553 Need a mod to make this happen like the Randy Savage Deathclaws asap

[@Adnyeus]

Selecting cyrax while holding down gave you access to Mokap, but selecting Raiden and while holding down gave you access to blaze

[@UKProgRock]

Thinking Junkyard Dog was going to be a wrestler clearly shows my age...

[@JMA_21]

Imagine you had the wrestler as a companion in fall out 4 would’ve been a crazy twist

[@craigfury6110]

Amen

"Most people didn't know you could get Wolverine" Like the majority of us didn't just use the cheat to unlock all characters 😂

[@patrickhein6986]

I had unlocked Wolverine and Mokap. And yes, I was that crazy back then. Would I do that again today? Ah hell nah!!!

[@leebratina1089]

Skelly is so worth it. I don’t remember him being hard to get though. Just normal adventuring will get all the parts and you just have to remember who his grandma is (you meet her at the start of the game).

[@renamoda5450]

Planet Scape Torment???

[@Luuute]

Noticed that too. Reminds me of people back in the day who would called RuneScape Run Escape

[@pjoconnell8268]

I’m going to assume that not only is he reading from a script but that’s he’s never played it

[@Breakbeat.]

I mean, I'm older and still realize that I've been saying things in games wrong since childhood. Game Paladin's Quest. I called him Chenzi for my whole life. Just last year I finally realized the name is Chezni. That's just a funny example and I'm not even dyslexic. There have been quite a few others, like in MTG calling Ravnica "Ravincia" XD

[@malkilroy]

To unlock Quan Chi in Mortal Kombat (2011), players had to complete Story Mode, which included a brutal final battle against an overpowered and highly armored Shao Kahn. If players wanted to unlock the Flesh Pits Mileena skin (who is barely dressed with bandages), players had to complete all 300 Challenge Tower missions, with the last one being an endurance match (with one lifebar) against Goro, Kintaro, Mileena, and Shao Kahn.

[@nerdyneo21]

I unlocked Wolverine in THPS 3 on Gamecube back in the day without even knowing he was in the game.

[@coreycharles9793]

Steve, dark cloud PS2. Technically a weapon, but I'd say companion as it's a TALKING SLINGSHOT. Totally rng based and my wife managed it on two different play throughs. Yet to acquire myself, and I've owned the game since launch.

[@malkilroy]

To unlock Minion in Twisted Metal: Black, you had to beat the game with all characters, including the four characters you had to find and unlock in certain battleground locations. While the other characters had texts in English during the load screens prior to the next levels, players had to decipher Minion's text, which was with numbers that corresponded to letters of the alphabet (1=A, 2=B, etc.). In short, unlocking Minion and knowing his story required plenty of gameplay and decoding.

[@civilwildman]

I had no issue unlocking Nordom. Granted, I also recently beat Mega Man 7, so I wonder if that speaks volumes right there.

[@dthomas4566]

I didn't know that junkyard dog, was rare, I have come across him about 5-6 times and got junkyard to guard Greytop Nursery 😅

[@austindrake4697]

yeah in a new game I often focus on finding him and often get pretty quick.. helps being aware of junkyard dog thou.

[@StoneAgeWarfare]

Yeah. In most of my playthroughs I've always found Gene wandering the roads Southeast of West Roxbury station.

[@TySama0]

I mean, once you find something once, it isn't hard to remember where that thing is again.

[@Ginkgo_leaf_3000]

I bought two dogs from the guy but they never arrived at the settlements I sent them to.

[@jaeusa160]

I don't think Gene is that rare, but is definitely pretty easy to overlook compared to most randomly generated encounters that try to kill you.

[@buckn5]

In chrono cross Janice is harder to get than Skelly to me.

[@JT44-87]

I never realized Skelly was hard to unlock. I always used the guide and it pretty much just told you where to go and what to do. Yes it may have been cheating, but KZbin wasn’t around back then.

[@residentgrey]

Other sites did then though. GameFAQs is still one of the best to date.

[@SofaK1ingN1c3]

Mokap was easy to unlock, its just completing a combo tutorial with every fighter. They only challenging part is the absurd amount of onyx coins (rarest in game) required to buy Cyrax's chest

[@thebilldozer7970]

I was lived the barracks when I got it, we all just played and people would want to learn combos... We just unlocked him on accident in a week.

[@ryanrowe1975]

Plane scape

[@joeygorman5307]

Forgotten isnt even close to the hardest unlock in the game. Like... literally not even in the top ten. All the tainted.characters? Including HIS tainted version? The Lost?

[@danielnorton1453]

Getting the forgotten is nowhere near the hardest thing to do in Issac. You can’t even unlock one of the characters until after you do unlock him so you definitely haven’t done everything

[@maciejmadej3410]

man Ghost Master NEEDS a sequel! such a cool concept, i loved it

[@chrisjones5949]

Wow. A mention of freaking Ghost Master. I loved that game back in the day, but I figured it was largely forgotten.

[@HelpTheWretched]

I heard recently there are some even more hidden characters in THPS3. They're only in the Japanese version of one specific console port and I think you need a special save on your memory card or something like that.

[@someOldBaldguy]

Mortal Kombat challenges are always fucking ridiculous.

[@residentgrey]

Umaro, Byblos, Shadow, Cloud, I need to work to remember ones outside of Final Fantasy. The best I have is unlocking Bastion Misawa in YGO Duel Links.

[@machoshowman1621]

During my last playthrough fallout 4, The seller of junkyard dog literally came through sanctuary as soon as I got Garvy and the gang there

[@SilverSpectre266]

Some of these entries I actually didnt know about. Now this was a deep cut bay-beeee

[@tones9_6]

In regards to gene from fallout 4 I actually used to get him so often i never knew he was rare i think it really depends on how happy your settlements are because my luck stat is almost 0

[@Mikecars2319]

I love the binding of issac, only game I've gotten over 2 consoles and logged hundreds of hours on

[@lizafrench8455]

Tecmos Deception had some difficult monsters to acquire

[@KimboKG14]

MGS5 Raiden? the optional mission goals were so bugged out. after trailing a translator and listen to 3 interrogations you have to wait for half an hour while the npcs search and escort an escaped prisoner. 99% of the times that prisoner breaks down as soon as he arrives at the interrogation location, but just out of reach of the trigger, that triggers the interrogation. so you have to knock out 3 guards, put the prisoner in place and wait for them to search around untill they continue the interrogation. oh and this is just the one at the tip of my mind, there's been many more optional goals that broke easily.

[@TrimutiusToo]

I knew Deva existed... but yeah I found about it from wiki... And even then it took me like half an hour to even understand what Wiki article meant when it described the location of the scroll so I can actually have it for myself...

[@GooO_0prints]

It’s the fact I had the junkyard dog my first run but i didn’t even know he was that rare

[@OwGash]

Ngl, i played a LOT of tphs and didnt know that lol. Tbf, 3 was my least played, but still I swear though ghostmaster is the definition of an early 2k/late 90's game^"

[@Evenality]

Street Fightet Alpha 3's secret characters should be on this list.

[@thomasmartin5503]

Elwen from radiata stories deserved a mention here.

[@jaredrobinson7071]

I wouldn't call Mokap a joke to his face. Just saying.

[@josechacon9939]

I played with mokap a lot as a kid. I didn’t even know he was that secret because my brother unlocked him 😅

[@KylarRaynor]

Plainscape 😊 Torment, credit at least for the mention Jules..

[@Irburnt]

Idk if this counts, more of a pet. The hound dog in old school runescape. It's like 1/3k only from a master clue reward.

[@devenrobinson6861]

I came across Gene as I made it to Lexington he was already getting messed up by every single ghoul and raider there. Never saw a dog with him so it probably died before I ever walked into town and had no clue i could even get another dog...

[@motbus3]

Always good to hear Jules! Thanks Jules!

[@VERDICTInsanity]

The Forgotten takes about 800 hours to do

[@ceejuschrist]

Honorable mention: Corey from Corey in the House in Jump Force

[@phreshdeath5188]

I’m sorry what?

[@skullkidsteve721]

That can't be real

[@BewareTheLilyOfTheValley]

My god, I've not seen a "Cory in the House is the best anime" joke in like, five years 😂

[@DaRedeyeJedi808]

I think of the Wrestler when I hear Junkyard Dog

[@forgottenalex]

There are far harder characters to unlock in the Tony hawk's pro skater games. Hell underground one has a large group of hidden characters that are only unlockable once you get every single gap in the game. And then you have American wasteland that has the Butterfinger winners as playable characters

[@mew888]

Unlocking Joker in Fighters Destiny on the N64. Im getting PTSD just thinking about it.

[@smogr_mania]

No Dr Bosconovitch from Tekken 3?!?

[@mstrmiller6242]

in NDS solatorobo red the hunter, there is one last airplane racer with the best vehicle and the fastest . the only way to unlock is beat him . i had 50 attempts to defeat him. worth

[@Kermit1970]

PLANE scape

[@Ivotas]

Wait, was Mokap really that hard to unlock? I had Deadly Alliance on the PS2 back in the day and I know that I unlocked the character. But that was long before I looked stuff up on the internet so I really doubt I went through all that, especially the part how you actually select him.

[@seanscully1126]

Oh, did we all not use the cheat code for Wolverine?

[@cwatt05]

1:07 or use the all characters cheat code

[@ElJorge]

HatchJack in Budokai Tenkaichi 3 DBZ it's an example.

[@Rebel4k69]

Who

[@empoweredshemphoward]

Pojo and grendel from mace the dark age. If you know, you know.

[@DMBLaan]

Am I the only one who feels like Mokap isn't that "secret" at this point? And will it takes time, it's not particularly hard to get him.

[@DarkSVKnight]

Wait wait! A MALE Deva?! Holy... I remember a female Deva in Neverwinter Nights: Hordes of the Underdark expansion pack. I'm beginning to wonder if the Baldur's Gate games are set before the Neverwinter Nights or vice versa: it would be totally awesome in either game meet via something fan made. 🎉 😊

[@CalvoV8]

Planet Scape? Take it back. Apologize

[@sephiroth7655]

Very inaccurate section on isaac. Hes relatively easy to unlock, there are harder characters and theres lots to do after hes unlocked.

[@majincaveman2709]

Still praying for thps 3+4

[@forcedfeedbackclassicgamer5499]

No RE2 Tofu?

[@shaneblessley1141]

Planet scape?

[@ShockerTopper]

Seriously? You think Skelly is the “hardest” character to get in Chrono Cross? Have you played that game man? Out of the 100 characters (exaggeration) he is far from the hardest to unlock.

[@alberach]

Planetscape?

[@bobjacob4237]

I got junkyard dog but yes pure luck

[@Canrugger]

Or cared that they existed

[@DarthPhillius]

No FFVI Yeti? 🤔😂

[@theREALfearsKLOWNs]

Momo is WAY harder.

[@jaeusa160]

@@theREALfearsKLOWNs Do you mean Gogo?

[@theREALfearsKLOWNs]

@@jaeusa160 I did; phone's auto correct. Either way, that World Eater can be a toughie.

[@codytatro5721]

Jules is back!

[@Rebel4k69]

U should of added mew two from smash bros its either him or sonic who unlock after playing 200 or 250 matches

[@V_themerc]

Hurts being this early

[@Davidsladky135]

The first time i ran into him, he wouldn't sell to me and never saw him again. The second time, I jacked up my charisma and got the dog. But he made me feel so bad about it 😢

[@joesjoeys]

How TF am I supposed to take this clown as a "gamer" when he calls "Planescape Torment" "PLANETscape"????

[@doodoomode7370]

Dude its planescape not planet scape wow good voice over 😂
