some excellent trophies on this list that im also working on myself (when i get the motivation back) lol also massive respect for mentioning that you did use the glitch for the HK platinum too dude great vids

[@nick_ar]

Thanks man, and yea I don’t feel the need to pretend like I got that legit lol

[@brxmelliad]

Downwell is mad impressive, good job! I enjoy games of a high difficulty but man that game is real infuriating. Also good job on Hollow Knight! It is by far my favourite game of all time

[@nick_ar]

Thank you! Both great games!

[@generalyousif3640]

I just found your channel and I must say Crash bandicoot 4 was easily my toughest and proudest platinum. It humbled me, even tho I am veteran of this franchise for a decade I also agree about what u said about Hollow knight, that boss rush trophy was the hardest thing I ever had to do and I wasn’t able to do it, I resorted to a glitch I disagree with Cuphead tho, I struggled a bit with it but everything was smooth sailing for me personally, I also just got the 100% on the dlc few days ago

[@nick_ar]

Yea I got the 100% recently too

[@josephford2664]

Well done with all of these. That's a fine collection! You're inspiring me to return to games I have struggled with and give a second chance. Just beaten Horizon Forbidden West so I'm thinking I will retry Crash 1 as that seemed tough enough, lol.

[@nick_ar]

Thank you and good luck with crash man

[@DarkmasK1991]

I consider crash 1 toughest in the trilogy

[@astrths1228]

if you get used to crash you'll get the plat trophies in the trilogy but crash 4 i will not even try doing it

[@N1ZZEG]

Sad to see you glitched the Hollow Knight trophy, when i beat pantheon of hallownest it was the best feeling I have ever felt. The hardest thing ive done in my life.

[@nick_ar]

Super meat boy made up for it for me

[@P1NKPVNK_]

I feel like compared to these extremely painful trophies you've been doing lately, Psychonauts 2 would be practically a breath of fresh air because it isn't as difficult as some of the ones you've been doing recently. It does have some trophies that I think are challenging trophies (especially Figheaded, where you need to collect every figment in the game. This shit low-key had me combing every level with all my abilities for hours) but compared to some platinums it's relatively painless. Also the game is just really damn fun imo Although I don't recommend trying to 100% levels on first visit because you will need to revisit levels with all of your moves due to some areas needing either an upgrade or straight up just a whole ability that you don't have yet (like the mental connection bubbles appearing in Loboto's Labyrinth). You're definitely going to have to try to find what you can the first time before revisiting each level after you've beaten the game and knock out anything you've missed. Plus there was recently a quality of life update that made it easier for completionists

[@nick_ar]

Thank you for the suggestion. I’ve heard of the game before

[@WW30551]

Dude you're 100% going to get popular one day and i wish you the best of luck 😊

[@izakthehumblememeseller9340]

For me, the hardest thing I've EVER done in a video game was beat the Cosmic Ocean in Spelunky 2. Even though there's no achievement for beating it (There is an achievement for getting to Cosmic Ocean for the first time though, but even then that's VERY hard to do), my masochistic self just HAD to try and beat it. This 94 level guantlet, count em, 9.4. LEVELS IN A ROW!!! It took me 270 hours worth of Spelunky 2 experience to finally beat it EVEN AS SOMEONE WHO HAS BEAT THE PANTHEON OF HALLOWNEST AND BEAT ALL THE BOSSES ON RADIANT, THE COSMIC OCEAN WAS THE ONLY THING IN ANY VIDEO GAME THAT MADE ME LOSE SLEEP!!! I won't spoil what's all in the Cosmic Ocean, or how to get to it. But I will tell you that it is easily, the hardest thing to beat in a video game

[@nick_ar]

Sheesh that’s insane

[@lez075]

That's amazing, I have the 3 Crash Bandicoot platinum trophies and 2 of them are very very hard to platinum and sometimes frustrating, Crash 3 is doable though. I can't even begin to imagine how hard Crash 4 has to be, I will play it on a separate account because I don't want to platinum it lol.

[@nick_ar]

Lol give it a shot man, if I can, so can you

[@FuckFascistYouTube]

Yea Crash 3 wasn't bad. Crash 2 was tough and I was shocked I got it. Crash 1 I ended up taking a break on, planning to pick it back up in a week or so... and that was like 3 months ago lol

[@IDrinkGlue-419]

Cuphead was literally hell. I platinumed that game in March. It’s definitely one of my hardest. And modern warfare remastered wasn’t too difficult. Probably a 6/10

[@nick_ar]

Yea it’s certainly tough, congrats on the plat though

[@IDrinkGlue-419]

@@nick_ar appreciate it bro! I subbed btw

[@nick_ar]

Thanks!

[@Renelaga_]

Bro, I feel you for getting lost in Hollow Knight. I had to legit call a friend and for him to watch my screen and he told me where to go. That’s how I beat the game.

[@OmegaRejectz]

For me, the worst part about Modern Warfare: Remastered is that Mile High Club has a bug with using the PS button. Basically, I constantly use the PS button because if you unlocked a trophy it'll show in your quick menu's notification feed wayyyy faster than the standard notification pop-up. However, with MWR if you use the quick menu after you jump out of the plane the game will freeze. Like, every, single, time. So when I was going for the Platinum on my newer account I didn't realize this and within 20 minutes I had completed the mission 4 or 5 times but the game would always crash because of the quick menu issue which I have never seen in any other game.

[@nick_ar]

wow I never heard of that. tragic

[@bulb9970]

I went even further on Cuphead, I S ranked every boss, which is beating them on Expert plus a bunch of extra requirements. There’s no achievement for that though so it’s just bragging rights. And I can still say that the Pantheon of Hallownest was harder than the S rank process. I never beat the Downwell boss on hard though, I just gave up at one point.

[@nick_ar]

If you can do pantheon you can definitely do downwell, it’s significantly easier

[@jeremybottoms7619]

Imo getting A rank on ebery boss was alot harder than beating every boss on expert

[@YusaifZuhair]

I like your videos, and you are great platinum trophy

Mwr is easy as anything, do the missions on recruit, when you hit last checkpoint of said mission, force exit the game, reload, continue mission, choose veteran, BOOM. Spawn at last checkpoint on veteran mode. And it counts

[@nick_ar]

Thanks man

[@megadriveleo]

12 year old me was stupid enough to try something even adults didn't consider. Beating all Cuphead level P rank without taking damage. I was able to do it, but the world 3 levels, oh my god...

[@nick_ar]

Sheesh

[@justafurry9400]

The hollow knight platinum is very hard ngl, i got it after about 100 hours of playing the game, mostly because i was trophy hunting from the beginning, the thing is that i have it on Steam/PC and there's like about 10-20 more achievements, but i feel you on the embrace the void trophy, that thing is hard

[@nick_ar]

I’m gonna get the trophy legit for a new video

[@tyrgannusgaming6657]

Hollow Knight edges Crash 4 in my opinion, but I legitimately think both are difficulty 10 platinums. The last two worlds of Crash 4 are quite challenging just to get the gems in, let alone doing perfect runs. Speedrunning a couple of those levels is pure pain. Surprised you didn't mention Shipping Error in your video, that level gave me problems for the relic

[@nick_ar]

hollow knight definitely tops crash for me

[@DJD02]

Nice list bro I got the cuphead plat too and crash n sane trilogy I’m working on crash 4 now that shit is on a whole other level

[@nick_ar]

Crash 4 is insane but you got this

[@steveo1407]

I have the plat on cuphead and gotta say that it wasn't too hard if you played with a friend so you can revive each other. Now i am going for the plat on rayman legends wich is a real pain in the ass because you have to grind for several months to get 1 specific trophy 🥲 Great vid btw keep doing your thing!

[@nick_ar]

Thanks!

[@Ori_Kohav]

What’s bs on the time trials in Crash 4 is the triple spin mechanic that requires hitting the spin button on a certain rhythm. One of the worst ideas ever.

[@silentmaw8011]

Yeqh bro, hollow knight is tough, 60 HOURS OF MY LIFE FOR THAT PLATINUM Also try shadow of mordor platinum trophy, it's a very good game

[@nick_ar]

I think someone did suggest this to me

[@mralfrdo]

Great vid man!

[@nick_ar]

Thank you!

[@GamerErman2001]

They actually have less trophies in Hollow Knight than the achievements on Steam and XBOX. It's like a difference of 17. There's like one where you have to get 100% without dying (specifically in Steel Soul mode which is unlocked after beating the game), one where you have to beat the game in under 5 hours and one that requires you to get 100% and beat the game in under 20 hours. Along with some easier ones they left out of the Playstation version. I've heard that Sony didn't want a lower priced digital indie game to have too many trophies but I don't know if that is actually true.

[@nick_ar]

Interesting

[@trueskillz1567]

Jeez, the creators of Hollow Knight really wanted people to suffer

[@outstrike30_23]

My first platinum and only right now is Cuphead and it was pretty hard. Mainly because of the 2 achievements "Beat the devil at his own game" and "Pacifist". Even thought its my only one I didnt think it was that hard to platinum. I still havent done the DLC 100% yet but I am really close. (Chef Saltbaker on expert is just so painfully hard)
