[@itsmejellydee]

Oxenfree has an achievement called "Its A Me" for jumping a chasm that's just barely jumpable, but at first glance is easy to assume it's too big.

[@PrototypeSpaceMonkey]

Mirror's Edge also had an achievement called "Hey, It's-a me!" for killing an enemy by dropping down on him from above.

[@maxifire32]

[@chrisjones5949]

Personally I found the achievement "The Strong, Silent Type" interesting from that game. Sure, let's go through a dialogue-heavy game and never speak once, great idea... 😂

[@LordMogatron]

The original Mirror's Edge had one called "It's-a Me" if you land on an enemy's head. We love a good Mario ref.

[@DFloyd84]

Borderlands 1 had one too: "My Brother is an Italian Plumber," for finishing off an enemy by jumping on it.

[@dinoshotgun]

Dying light had one as well, it involved killing a zombie with a pipe wrench with a drop attack after vaulting over said zombie

[@dinoshotgun]

Wait I just realized could OutsideXtra do a video on Mario references in non Nintendo games? The reason I say non Nintendo is that there are a lot of Nintendo references in Nintendo games so it would just feel like cheating to put them on the list. Heck if there is not enough Mario references in non Nintendo games then why not expand it and make the video “7 Nintendo Easter eggs in non Nintendo games”

[@nong333]

There's one in Fallout 4 worth mentioning: In Diamond City, a settlement built out of an old baseball stadium, eagle-eyed players will notice that the bases are actually still on the ground where they would be in real life. If you start at Homeplate and run the bases in order as quickly as you can, you will get the "Homerun!" achievement.

If you do the same thing in The Stanley Parable Ultra Deluxe version while carrying the bucket you'll get an even better ending; possibly my favourite of the ones I've found so far. Well, it's either that one or the bucket + power on mind control machine.

[@grummdoesstuff2983]

In Horizon: Zero Dawn, there's an achievement for knocking down all 23 training dummies scattered throughout the starting area that is controlled by the Nora Tribe. 7 of them are right at the house of Rost, where you start the game, and then each settlement has at least 2 more, all the way out to the last Nora settlement that you run into before moving into Carja territory, meaning its really easy to forget that its a thing, or to miss one or two somewhere, so it really rewards players who explore the area (or who just look it up).

In Prey, there’s an achievement for climbing on top of a helicopter and walking into the blades, one for finding every crew member, and one for scanning your own Phantom Shift duplicate. I’d say those are all things you’d have to be pretty curious to do. There’s also one for recycling yourself with a recycler charge, but that could just as easily be done by accident. Case in point, I got this one when I piled every moveable object in the psychotropics labs in the middle of the floor, threw a recycler charge onto the pile, and it rolled back towards me. On the bright side, doing this also got me the achievement for recycling 20 objects with a single charge.

"I need a bit of a lie dawn. 50G Get a migraine from our game."

[@ACWells13]

Do traditional motion sickness remedies like quinine (tonic water) or seasickness tablets help at all? My friend said the more you play VR the more you acclimatise to it, but if you can't handle more than a few minutes that's probably not going to be a solution for you. I struggle with motion sickness with games myself- had it really badly a few months ago but it turned out to be eye strain so I got some eye training exercises and new glasses and now I'm back to only struggling when motion blur is on :D (and with VR.

In one of the Borderlands 2 DLC, Tiny Tina’s Assault on Dragon’s Keep there is a dark spot that if you fire your gun at you get an achievement/trophy for attacking the darkness, which is most likely a reference to an 8-bit D&D adventure video in which a wizard attacked the darkness with Magic Missile.

There are so many achievements like this in Deep Rock Galactic that I spent the whole video waiting to see it mentioned. Things like kicking every barrel in the space rig into the drop pod, spending an hour dancing to the jukebox, or jumping through the flaming hoop from the barrel game while drunk. Perhaps a bit too risqué for the channel, but Nier having an achievement for trying to look up 2B's skirt too many times also fits the bill for "achievements only curious gamers will get."

Crash 4 has an achievement called "Channel Surfer" where you have to interact with a TV at the beginning of the first level. Everytime you change the channel the title screens from the previous 3 games (as well as 4) show up and the BGM changes to a rendition of the original theme.

[@AgentMonochrome]

There's an achievement in Enter the Gungeon for pushing a table into water or a pit. They knew someone was bound to do it.

[@kirbywithaknifeisawesome6028]

Don’t forget the one where you have to kill 100 enemies while in a minecart

[@GhostKitten69]

Does it REALLY count as "curiosity" when riding Rumbi was featured in the game's trailer? I thought Hat Kid's inclusion in the thumbnail would be about getting the achievement "...why?" on the Owl Express level, and *I* was curious about how you'd dodge the censors to describe how to get that.

[@mubbylmao]

I am so glad a hat in time made it to this list

2:12 i'll have you know that that "horrible spaghetti arm man" is named Roger, and is believed to be trying to protect the children by keeping them away from the adults

[@antonyingram]

Couple of my favourites: In Jalopy, there's the achievement "Hear me roar" for leaning on the horn until it fizzles out and breaks. Then in the Grow Home/Grow Up games, there are several achievements for trying to do daft things with the creatures, like take them flying, or trying to teleport with them.

[@SolaScientia]

In all my hundreds of hours in KoA, I can't remember if I've leapt through that hole in Idylla. I think I tried it once, maybe, or else I rightly assumed I'd probably die if I jumped down, lol. I need to stop being distracted by Spiritfarer and Bloodborne (and DS3) and get back into KoA properly since they released the Fatesworn expansion/DLC.

[@Monkeyzforever]

It Takes Two has a lot of fun trophies mostly revolving around messing with the other player xD Also Concrete Genie has some really adorable trophies for interacting with your genies which are completely optional - they're all amazing but my favourites are probably Besties and My Happy Place

[@zarathos4666]

Thats how I got the "Worm Food" title in SWTOR. I was brand new to the game, stumbled across the Sarlacc Pit and wonder what would happened if you just jumped into it. I laughed so hard when that title popped afterward. Rewarded for pure curiosity right there.

[@blacksarlacc91]

"Child at Heart" in Avorion (PC): Do a barrel roll with your fully functional battleship. I can't stress how hard it is to make a battleship in space do a maneuver like this. But it is a lot of fun. :)

[@AlistairVT]

Genshin Impact has a lot of these....They give achievement when you decide to sit on the hands of Barbatos's Statue in Mondstadt or when you try to play with the Dialogue Volume in the settings.There's also an achievement I believe for when you eat the food you're supposed to deliver for a commission.

[@GODFRAUDBUDDHA]

I accidentally killed Timmie’s duck first try of his side quest. It derailed into something else and my friend won’t let me live it down.

[@Co2Fog]

6:45 *sees #5 is Kingdom of Amalur* oooh i wonder who'll narrate this one 😮

[@lionocyborg6030]

A Hat in Time also has an achievement for typing swears and lewd things in any text input, such as when the crows on the Conductor’s train ask Hat Girl which body part she’s most ashamed of before being found mocking her about it behind her back later. There’s also the steam remake of The Stanley Parable, whose easiest achievement is clicking on a certain door 5 times. I only count this one despite it not being a secret achievement as the narrator calls you out on only doing this for the achievement before sending you off to click on a whole bunch of other things too. Black Mesa also has achievements for getting the player killed/committing suicide in different ways, such as allowing Gordon to be infected by a headcrab, getting killed by your own snarks, overcharging the Tau Cannon, refusing to put the sample in the anti-mass spectrometer until the machine overloads and breaks everything, and drowning in Lambda Core’s coolant pools. A non death related one is a shout out to that horrible gnome achievement in Half Life 2 Episode 2: take a fancy purple top hat all the way to Lambda Core and carry it through the portal to Xen with you. More obvious ones include destroying Magnusson’s casserole and giving the scientist doing a poo in the locker room lavatory a roll of toilet paper. Mirror’s Edge has an achievement for doing a drop attack on an enemy for an instant KO (melee attacks in Mirror’s Edge 1 aren’t lethal) named after Mario’s catchphrase. Another one is if you do a 180 degree turn while jumping and trying to shoot enemies, behind you while unarmed, Faith flips off her pursuers instead. It’s fun to get this achievement at the end of Pirandello Kruger when jumping on the roof of the train, or when doing a leap of faith onto the giant crash mats.

There's an achievement in a game called Contrast where if you press to enter the door labelled "XXX" you get the achievement "Not That Type Of Game!"

[@Sagesae]

Lord of the Rings Online has an achievement for throwing yourself into the well in Moria that Pippen knocked the bucket into. You may end up dead (though it's possible to survive) in the Water Works far below but it's worth the fall. These two areas aren't connected by anything but that well and there is no story-driven reason for you to jump in the well other than to follow the bucket's progress. The achievement, of course, is called "Well Traveled."

[@Jonathon_Hennessey]

The psychotic prankster achievement from Fallout 3 you get this achievement for putting a grenade or mine in a characters inventory while your pickpocketing them. In the HD remaster of Resident Evil 4 there's an achievement called don't shoot the water it's awarded by provoking Del Lago into swallowing Leon whole which is done by shooting into the lake.

[@SevCaswell]

I think it is all Prankster Returns in Fallout 4...

[@tyrannicpuppy]

On FO4, I intentionally left this until my last trophy, stuck a Nuke Mine in Marcy's pocket in the room they're all hiding in in Concord and watched so that would be my platinum trophy image. Payback for all the god damn whining! Sanctuary Hills never sounded so peaceful.

[@1Holbytla]

That Fallout one sounds funny! Like a psycho E Bunny replacing their picked & pocketed goods with an explosive easter egg! The Re4 one I loved. I watched a livestream or vid where either the Eurogamers or the Ox People (🐂👨‍👩‍👧‍👦!) got tricked by some of the chat into triggering Del Lago. Some trust in chat advice was def damaged by that!

Thank you for the video. I'd put forward the achievement at the start of Banjo Kazooie: Nuts and Bolts, where if you turn around at the start of the pointless collectable section, you'll be able to grab more pointless collectables than Grunty, netting you an achievement that isn't possible if you try and run the challenge normally.

[@ClovisRue]

Once I was playing Slime Rancher, and started looking at the achievements. I saw one called "You monster!" and got a little curious. So I picked up a chickadoo (a baby chicken) and threw it into one of the in-game incinerators I had. It was worth it.
