Can we just acknowledge that the completion rate for dying 1000 times in Hotline Miami was 25%.

[@andybrown4284]

Stats are skewed by those who barely played a game and not really an accurate yardstick of difficulty

[@bilateralrope8643]

@@andybrown4284 So you're saying that the true percentage is even higher ?

[@Miquemoco]

Now 26% 😁

[@insaincaldo]

@@andybrown4284 This is numb brain racking up numbers achievement, so yeah it has less to do with difficulty, then actually being one of the reasons these statistics fall apart.

[@hippokrampus2838]

@@bilateralrope8643 it's more like the percentage would be higher if they didn't factor in people that played the game, raged after a few levels, then never played it again. But the percentage was never purely meant to show difficulty, it also does a nice job showing how tedious some achievements are.

[@JordinoProbably]

Detroit: Become Human also has an achievement like this. You have to make Connor die 8 times consecutively (which means no skipping chapters) to achieve the “I’LL BE BACK” trophy.

[@MorganMeryl]

I was going to say, Im surprised Detroit isnt on this list.

[@jillie_chan]

Oh and you can’t fail “Last Chance, Connor” timed part as that will perma kill him ending the run

[@seeleyboothfan2]

Was just coming into the comments to type this - forces you to kill Connor off in every way possible which is just rude. I will give the game credit by including all the deaths in canon with him being reuploaded in a new iteration.

[@insaincaldo]

Bonus cruelty for torturing Hank with it every time.

[@JordinoProbably]

"Honking great xenomorph" made me imagine an alien/unnamed goose game crossover. The horror.

[@micahnewby7964]

(Admiral Ackbar voice) IT'S A TRAP!!

[@aydinanuar8807]

I’m now imagining either a Xenomorph as a duck, which kinda sounds cute, or a duck as a Xenomorph, which sounds horrifying.

[@nightmarethrenody8232]

A second, smaller, goose head emerges from the goose’s mouth and hisses at Ripley in her back garden.

[@thundercookie3214]

Yes but what about "Alien vs. Unnamed Goose". Can the alien persevere against nature's greatest troll?

[@insaincaldo]

@@nightmarethrenody8232 Have you seen a gooses open beak? Even the tongue has a freaking saw, of course they are already xenomorph related.

[@c-log4700]

Don’t forget Deathloop’s Spice of Life achievement. It requires you to die in every possible way, some of which are incredibly… specific

[@Stratelier]

There are not many games keeping track of specific _ways_ of dying, but conceptually it's a lot more interesting than just having a raw tally. Basically a collectathon but for deaths!

[@aiodensghost8645]

​@Stratelier a deathothon sounds like fun in some games

[@xtifr]

"More highly strung than a violin about to bungee jump" cracked me up! Kudos to whoever (Ellen?) came up with that one! 😀

[@little-earth-star6]

Not a multi death achievement, but a honorable(?) mention. Dying to a green slime in Crypt of the Necrodancer. You only need to die to it once, but due to the way damage works in the game, it's nearly impossible to pull it off.

[@High-LordHarza]

What's it called?

...how? On one hand, it's easy to become weaponless just by throwing your dagger (spears also work) but even then, _how?_

[@little-earth-star6]

@@Stratelier Because green slimes don't normally move, and most enemies deal damage by moving into your space, you have to combine two status effects in order to make it attack you; Confusion with Dove's flower (makes enemies move in the opposite direction) and Fear with the Fear Scroll (makes enemies run away from you) in that order. I will add that a green slime attack is a one hit kill.

[@MrGUnit27]

Fun fact: Sean Bean had died in movies 20 times at the time of Parallax's release in 2015 (not including Silent Hill Revelation, where he dies in a dream), so that's probably why the achievement is named after him. Either that, or it's just an amazing coincidence

[@tevura3943]

The Purple Heart achievement really wasn't so bad, if you were hunting achievements in CoD World at War, you also had to suffer through Veteran difficulty, to unlock the achievement "Hardened War Hero", during which.. you will absolutely unlock The Purple Heart achievement, as the AI was terribly imbalanced on this difficulty setting.

[@mathieupr6391]

Outer Wilds: Hotshot achievement, which requires to manually land on the Sun Station. If you've played that game, you know that the sun has probably swallowed millions of players trying their hand at it. I know it's technically not required to die to get the achievement, but trust me.... you will

[@cearnicus]

It's not so bad if you understand basic physics ... but from the let's plays I've seen it seems most people don't ::P There's one who tried for an _hour_ before she finally managed. That was some amazing display of dogged determination. OW has about half a dozen achievements that involve dying, but there's only one (from the DLC) that requires dying for repeatedly. I'd say which one but, well, spoilers.

[@kahunab7400]

One honorable mention: Loop Hero. The 'tripped' achievement requires you to die outside of battle, which isn't easy even if you do it on purpose.

[@xenogil180]

Can imagine getting capture for Stray was harrowing for Ellen. No kitty should go like that.

[@stephensimmons7140]

Can you imagine Luke talking her into it. "Guess what Ellen! You get to get capture for your favorite game!" wink*

[@oxfanblink4115]

Can imagine it was worse than having to let the Alien eat her face until she popped it’s achievement since she’s scared of the alien but loves the adorable cat more

[@jaredcrabb]

That was painful to just watch.

[@roguishpaladin]

Earning an achievement named "Sean Bean" for dying a lot of times? Now that's soldiering.

[@danielcook7975]

actually he does not die in everything, he even confirmed this he dies in half the movies he's in and half he actually survives, the one who actually dies more times than any in movies is funny enough Danny Trejo of all people. the only reason we think Sean Bean dies in lot of stuff is cause we see the stuff he dies in and not the ones where he lives lol

[@insaincaldo]

@@danielcook7975 More so that he is famous for exactly what was stated in the video and does that in big roles.

[@typacsk]

"Stop showing off, Sharpe."

[@AB-gh5be]

in fairness, bean's still got a higher percentage of deaths by total role than trejo. the latter might have had more of his characters die than the former, but ol' sean's die more _often_

[@jaxjaxattaxx]

Poor Ellen deserves a raise and a drink every time she is forced to relive her Alien Isolation trauma for our amusement 😂

Do you WANT her to get cirrhosis??

[@oxfanblink4115]

😂 Won’t be surprised if she still preferred to do the alien one for capture over the stray one though since she loves kitties 🐱

[@PLAYER_42069]

On the flip side, she also gets to relive her Stray playthrough that gets her and us all in the feels.

[@BuildinWings]

Well done! Please do "7 most-brutal learning curves." Remember how it felt to play Civ or Dark Souls that first few dozen deaths?

[@Sableagle]

Oh, yes. Civilisation. "Let's see. To learn to make cart bridges I need to study geometry, and for that I need writing, so I need enough food to supply a school and oh, look. The Mesopotamian Empire next door has invented the F/A-18 Hornet and GPS-guided nuclear missiles. How nice."

"Kitty will only jump when it can DEFINITELY reach a landing spot." Well that is not realistic!

or some of us will do anything for an achievment............i'm some of us.

[@andybrown4284]

[@christians_ordinarylife6169]

I know you don't have to repeatedly die to get this achievement, but an honorable mention is in GTA 5, where you have to take a plane, boat, or helicopter and drive past the world border. The vehicle will stop working, and you will get circled by one or two sharks. If you decide to keep swimming, the sharks will get closer until eventually your character ducks below the surface, one shark swims up and grabs them, and then shakes the #### out of them with it's jaws, causing you to sink as you bleed out and drown.

[@Actuallyadogperson]

I quite like “Get Used To It” from Resident Evil. You only need to die once to get it but if (like me) you’re bad at games it does feel like a little slap in the face

[@Amaranthyne]

Some of us are just naturals. These achievements are easy to collect just by playing the game with my “high” level of skill! 😎

[@geraintthomas4343]

I found the purple heart quite easy to get tbh. Pretty certain i got it on the first level at the hardest difficulty...

[@Merkwerkee]

There's an achievement (deed) in Lord of the Rings Online called "blind leaper" that requires you to jump off a cliff seven times at seven specific locations. But of course all those locations are in Moria and are in super annoying spots to get to - not to mention navigating Moria itself is tricky because both the map and minimap are flat and Moria exists in three dimensions so the "road" you're following could be miles above your head.

There is a lot of platforming games that have the "Die X Amount of Times" achievements/trophies. Like Fenix Furia (5000 deaths), 88 Heroes (888 deaths), A Walk in the Dark (1000 deaths), Battleblock Theater (doesn't list actual #, but I think it was over 500), Cloudberry Kingdom (1337 deaths), and N+ (1000 times) are just a few that I remember.

Getting that achievement in Stray was really rough. Mainly because the day before the game came out, my cat (an orange tabby) had to be put to sleep.

[@louiemarks8501]

How about achievements where you're not totally sure what you actually did, and the game doesn't think it's important to tell you? I got one of that in "Stubbs The Zombie", I used my remote ability that lets you control humans to clear out a frankly huge section of a level and I got a trophy called "why don't you just bring a map next time?", and the description says "you know what you did" and NOTHING else. Used a human to go a certain distance? Maybe! Game didn't tell me.

Base building in that game is amazingly fun :D Clearing POIs gets easy when you've memorized where the good loot is. Horde nights get a bit... lol what though. easy mode horde night completion is just to get in a vehicle and run in circles. See, the game has spawn caps, and if the spawn cap is met... nothing new will spawn..... and if everything is in a mob trying to catch your car... they're basically out of combat permanently. Oh also, the dumb--- you can do building underground... ahahahaah....

@@marhawkman303 been a very long time since I played it, and I imagine it’s had quite a few updates since then… but as I recall underground bases were a complete death trap because the zombies could dig and just break into your base from anywhere and everywhere

[@marhawkman303]

@@asherandai2633 Well yes and no. Yes, zombies can dig, but they only do that if they can't walk around the obstacle. You can do stuff like powered draw bridges and crud like that to drop zombies into pits. Sure, they'll try to tunnel out of the pit, but you have time to kill them while they're down there. Also, they take fall damage just like players do, and you can throw grenades into the pit. In fact with a clever enough arrangement of tunnels... you can trick the zombies into jumping down a pit that will severely damage them and leave them easy to kill. The #1 thing is... zombies don't spawn underground. Only above. Just plan for how to coax the mindless undead to go where you want them to go. Then prepare a.. proper welcome. Also.. mazes are a no. the pathfinding AI isn't smart enough for complex or winding tunnels and will get confused and start trying to rip the walls down.

[@marhawkman303]

@@asherandai2633 Oh yeah, I left out the stupid trick version. If you tunnel down to bedrock, and make a horizontal tunnel going a long way away from your base.... the zombies will be attracted to your current location, if you move around in a deep tunnel though it forces them to despawn due to range since they can't dig fast enough to stay in range. This of course needs a stupid amount of prep time... and can be highly destructive. The zombies will rip up whatever is on the surface above you.

[@persephoneunderground845]

Would love a version of this list where it wasn't explicit "die x number of times" achievements, but just achievements that are so tricky to get that you inevitably die tons in the process.

The "Miracle Worker" achievement in "Shelter 69",a lewd knockoff of "Fallout Shelter", requires that you not only allow champions to die 25 times on missions, but that you leave them dead and then revive them in the medbay room. Not only does reviving a character take 30 minutes, all you get for this is a single legendary worker,whom is likely to be worse at any task than the weakest champion. Worse still, there is another achievement for resurrecting 100 Champions called "Godlike Powers" that gives you a measly 50 in-game currency.

[@CowKirbo]

I learned that the earliest point you can die by the alien is early into the game while waiting for a transport train thingy you can hit a wall with your wrench a couple times then it'll spawn. I can't tell you the exact location but it's before you are supposed to get chased for the first time.

[@aimlezzgaming6076]

Was surprised to not see Deathloop's "The Spice of Life" Trophy / Achievement here. It requires you to "Die every which way as Colt" - Including "Getting Fried by a Rocket" which in itself requires you to complete the Game "Condition Detachment" in Updaam - Noon in addition to unlocking advanced Commands for 2-Bit AND then after finally [spoiler] starting the Rocket, sprinting upstairs and make the jump into the rocket's exhaust all without messing up in a very strict time limit because you cannot save.

The Outer Wilds DLC Echoes of the Eye has an achievement that involves dying repeatedly called "Sleep. Wake. Repeat." (Bonus points for other achievements across the base game and DLC that involve dying in different ways, such as really quickly or by being crushed, and others that don't *require* dying but will still lead to a lot of dying anyway in the process of achieving them.)

[@Kraleck]

Angry Video Game Nerd Adventures has two Achievements, "ASS!" and "ASSSS!!" that require 100 and 1000 deaths total. Despite the abundance of insta-kill pits and death blocks, you still have to sit through a randomly rolled AVGN-style insult of the game for several seconds before you can jump back into the action and back into your death. Definitely going to need all that Rolling Rock beer to dull the grind...

[@BeanManolo]

South Park: Stick of Truth had one called "You Bastards" that involve getting Princess Kenny killed 10 times during combat. Also, not exactly the achievement itself, but Gears of War 3 "Seriously 3.0" involves getting all Onyx Medals in the game. And one of them involves getting revenge on your Nemesis 100 times; The thing is: you get a Nemesis by being killed by another player in multiplayer 5 times in a row without killing him. So you'd have to get killed at least 500 times, and at least 5 times by the same player before you could kill him back. And that's only one of the Onyx Medals necessary.

Not exactly an achivement for dying (x) number of times, but in the Henry Stickmin games there's achivements for getting all the fails, of which there are a lot, and most of which consist of dying. There's also some achivements that require you to get a fail more than once, eg in Stealing the Diamond there's an achivement for getting the Jumble Hoppers fail 3 times, and the original versions of Stealkng the Diamond, Infiltrating the Airship and Fleeing the Complex have achivements that require more fails than there are unique fails, so you have to get the same fail multiple times.

I'm still trying to work on getting the Platinum for Friday the 13th, so yeah, getting the You Died A Lot really isn't that bad when you're also trying to go for 1,000 matches as both Jason and the counselors. Shame I don't have many friends to help me with it

[@twerkfromhome]

lol

[@DefenderTerrarian]

I got No More Lives just in the course of beating the game. Stray made me cry at the end, a full grown adult. In my defense, it was about midnight, and I'm a very emotional man, and I love animals, and get attached to characters incredibly easily.

I know it’s escaped the memories of many (rightfully so) but what about “Too Human”. It has an achievement for dying 100 times as well, but what makes it so painful is everything around it. Not only do you take durability loss, but a Valkyrie SLOWLY descends from the sky to pick you up and SLOWLY flies back up only to respawn you a short distance from where you died (I got that achievement on the final boss)

[@Fregler]

Retro shooter "Amid Evil" has an achievment for dying in every way possible, (sliced, burned, melted etc. etc.). Though I will admit, it was amusing finding all of them. One death even can only come from your own carelessness, which is: Using the games BFG 9000 equivalent, the Aternum, power up in soul mode, shoot out a black hole and get sucked into it yourself.

[@covenscribe]

I also cried over sweet kitty ;A; had to hug my orange tabby after my first in game death

In 7 Days to Die--and I learned this the hard way--if you "use" glass, your character, by design, eats it. And if the goal is to die quickly, it does a fantastic job.

[@marhawkman303]

aahahahaah.... I forgot you could do that... :D I probably did it by accident once. Most of the crafting materials in that game I never tried to actually "use". Also broken glass has a surprisingly small number of uses as a crafting material.

[@irrelevant_noob]

@@marhawkman303 well it has exactly ZERO uses for crafting, it can only be melted down in a forge for sand. :-B

[@msthecommentator2863]

Stray devs: "We made a game about controlling a cat because we're cat people who love them." Also Stray devs: **force you to end a feline's nine lives for trophy completion**

[@D.J.Berryman]

I can no longer see Stray mentioned without my mind screaming "WHY'S IT GOT A BAG ON IT'S HEAD!?"

[@Yarharsuperpirate]

Detroit Become Human has one. An achievement for getting one of the characters killed off at every opprotunity in the story (He's an android, so they just upload him into a new body)

[@theodoreshisler9713]

Not exactly an achievement, but in Dark Souls 2, dying 100 times and then talking to Crestfallen Saulden nets you the Ring of Steel Protection. I got it by accident on my first playthrough.

[@TheFiddleFaddle]

The Sean Bean award reminds me of when I installed a Sean Bean skin for The Sims 2, then locked him in a house with no doors, a stove, and lots of newspapers. Ah memories.

[@jardex2275]

On the opposite end of things is the Iron Boy achievement in Super Meat Boy. This requires you to complete 10 levels without dying once. This is a game where you're expected to die a lot. So much that each level ends with a death montage of all your attempts overlapped and played at once to show just how many times you tried and failed (before finally succeeding).

[@kirbyrawstorne]

Luke watching Sharpe in his mind was incredible and made me laugh out loud at an inappropriate moment. Thanks Oxtra :)

[@KaijinD]

I had very similar reaction to Ellen with the animals in Divinity: Original Sin II. If you have the pet pal perk and can talk to them, the dogs are so happy and sad. They don't understand what is happening to them. The mission where you have to find Buddy the dog's lost (and transformed mate) killed me. That's good writing.

[@bread4108]

As someone that genuinely loves 7 days to die as a chill janky game, I don’t think I’ve even gotten the 5 death achievement despite having 50 hours on the game

[@michaeltortorice9876]

Luke is imagining Sharpe because it's one of the few times Sean Bean was the only one who made it to the end alive (well, him and Harper, but you don't kill Harper). So it's like a reverse meme.

[@aislahoughton-foster7547]

'*scoff* Napoleon's not going to like that!' needs to become a tiktok trending sound! 😂😂😂

[@GhostyBob]

No love for Hyper Light Drifter? It's got one called "Don't Give Up" for dying 1000 times. 0.7% of players have it, making it the second rarest in HLD's achievement list, with only the achievement for completing the game without dying below it (having a 0.6% completion rate).

[@Phlegeth]

In Rune Factory: Tides of Destiny, catch a cold 100 times. You have a chance to get a cold every time you wake up after passng out from exhaustion or staying out too late or dying to monsters. But the catch is, every time you get a cold, your resistance goes up. So you have to "die" way more than 100 times.

[@yuvi3000]

In the original Binding of Isaac, you unlock "The Pinking Shears" by dying 100 times. In the remake (The Binding of Isaac: Rebirth), you instead unlock a similar item "The Scissors" for dying 100 times. Both of these items allow you to cut off your head temporarily, allowing you to attack the enemies in the room with a head and with a body, instead of just one source of damage output.
