7 Shockingly Difficult Trophies in Easy Games

[@fett01]

For me, it's any game that has a trophy for playing online with friends. I don't have any of those

[@WarriorOfTheHeavens]

Yeah... I'd love to finish up Far Cry 4, but I'm to afraid to join a random to get the 3 multiplayer trophys and my friends don't play Far Cry games... so I've been stuck.

[@themightycongueror8383]

Any time a single player game requires you to play the online version to get platinum, especially if it's artificially hard by requiring you to play like 500 hours to get the trophies is straight up bullshit. I'm not even really a trophy hunter, but I don't think any single player game should have any online trophies. What if the online is dead, or the servers don't exist anymore, well too bad, no trophy for you

[@fett01]

@@WarriorOfTheHeavens the exact same situation for me with Far Cry 5

[@chrismaxwell2274]

​@@WarriorOfTheHeavenswell I have good news for you... they shut down the servers a few months ago so you can't get them anyway.

[@WarriorOfTheHeavens]

@@chrismaxwell2274 Oh you... and know I need a kick up the butt to get them done and out of the way. I do think the PVP trophy on Far Cry 4 might still be bugged so... yeah I don't have much faith to go on anyway. :/

My CTR platinum is one of my hardest earned and one I'm very proud of. My Powerwash Sim platinum was a very fun one...until the challenges -.-

[@umarrazvi]

CTR for me too probably my hardest plat

[@samtaurus007]

Powerwash simulator is anything but relaxing. It's satisfying......in the most frustrating of ways. DO NOT play it before bed as you'll be powerwashing unsuccessfully in your sleep. :)

[@marshall4311]

Fector's Challenge in Stardew Valley must be my hardest trophy in an otherwise very relaxing game. 😢

[@DanFarrell98]

Can’t Cat-ch Me from Stray was crazy hard for a game that mostly about chilling as a cat. That one took a while and I got it just before giving up

[@ShidaPenns]

I'm disabled due to severe mental illness - I don't play multiplayer games because they're very stressful for me and I play games to relax. So my end boss of difficult trophies in otherwise easy games is multiplayer trophies in primarily single player games. 😭 I'm looking at you in particular, GTA V and Red Dead Redemption 2.

[@edwardrhoads7283]

Lords of Waterdeep here. That one that requires you to do something that is very hard to pull off in multiplayer. Gave up on it. Only one that keeps it from being complete (steam game)

[@ShidaPenns]

@@edwardrhoads7283 Yeah it's even more annoying when they make them *difficult* multiplayer trophies. Or ones that require a ton of grinding. Multiplayer trophies should be not needed for platinum (on PS anyway).

[@cupantae1893]

I started playing Stray recently and fell in love so have decided to go for the platinum. Can’t wait to rage at the chase and Speedrun 😅

[@BattlestarDamocles]

Hello, you've caught me scoffing some wheat crunchies and enjoying another of Rob's masterful Friday Features. 👌👍

[@GuyjinOnline]

You should try Dreamies® brands treats. "Dreamies®: They're just what the somnologist ordered!"

[@wooter_l7050]

I remember going to Goat Simulator for an easy platinum and then crashing and burning when I got to the flappy bird mini game. Still not got it years later 😢

[@apeface1990]

The Katamari trophy on getting every item is even more difficult than shown. Yes, you have to get every item, which would normally be sorta easy... Except for the Cowbear. It's a level where if you roll up one cow OR bear item, the level is over. The Cowbear is huge and rolling over a tiny bottle of milk can end your attempt

[@danprice6361]

i remember this on katamari forever. i finally managed to get it and get the platinum after some time

[@TheReptileHand]

Yup!!! I got this one in Katamari forever a few years back when finishing off the plat once and for all. The cowbear is a silent killer in that no one thinks you need it but you do! You have to roll big enough without picking any of those items up, to then KNOCK OVER the cowbear and then rush to collect him without picking anything up AND before he runs away and starts rampaging all over the map 🙃 knocking you around. Took me a few tries at that size and patience to grab him. He usually hangs out by the river and bridge (in forever) so it's a matter of waiting for him to walk by.

[@missenoch7269]

Yes the annoying bear was my last item when I got this - to small and it ping pongs you across the map likely hitting other bears, to big and it runs away and trying to chase it will often also be an accidental pick up of another bear :( nearly gave up several times!

So fun fact for Stanley Parable: You can actually play the game for an X amount of hours every Tuesday until the trophy pops. So you might play 5 hours every Tuesday until the trophy pops. You can also change your Playstation internal date to 10 years to pop the super go outside throphy if you want to

[@eliasnilsson6604]

"Both are very Stanley Parable ways of doing it too." - The narrator, propably

[@Dark_Mishra]

But that’s not a “difficult” trophy, just a time consuming one.

[@Buplo]

I just genuinely did it on a single Tuesday

[@espiritly]

You don't even need to do that. Just change the PlayStation time to a Tuesday and let it run (so pretty much the same strategy as doing the ten years)

[@hannayman4448]

[@steveslenderman]

[@NeoLotex]

For me it's Freeflow Gold and Freeflow 40 in Batman: Arkham Asylum. I've watched so many videos that my brain knows exactly what to do, but I just can't for the live of me get my thumbs to perform the necessary tasks.

[@EmperorSephirothII]

Here's one I doubt many people will know/remember. Burnout Apocalypse from Days Gone. It simply says to use Nitro boost and drift on your bike at the same time for 5 seconds. Except that drifting requires correct timing of analogue stick movement at certain points to control the drift. Now imagine trying to figure that out when the timing windows are sped up because of the nitro boost. It took me about 3 hours to figure it out but I still got the trophy, and the platinum in the end.

[@BoknoyBuhisan]

i just accidentally got it while chased by a horde after recovering my bike haha

[@erodotosmiltiadous]

Fellow Days Gone platinum holder here. Just wanted to shout out how magnificent that game is!

[@alastairmccann8400]

Still haven't got that. Sigh!

[@misslorblack]

I got that one thanks to the internet, plus the other one that said to drift for 2 minutes or so (can't remember). I just went to a parking lot and left it pressed, so I did a doughnut of sorts for 2 minutes. Lifesaver

[@primeape5009]

​@alastairmccann8400 there's a video that shows them doing it in a swimming pool, took 3 attempts for me then.

[@Link-ch1xr]

The hardest trophy I’ve ever gotten from an easy game had to be either shooting all of the planes during the Arkean Armory level or dodging all the lasers during the undead Chaos fight, both of wich are from Skylanders Spyro’s Adventure. I don’t really remember wich one was truly harder, since I’m so many years removed from that experience now, but I do remember having to reset each level way more than any of the others in order to complete their respective challenges.

[@CrazeeAdam]

LOL the old Friday Feature call back is amazing. Love it. Even remember most of the celebrities in that list :p

[@Grzeciec]

I found that Flower trophy where you have to go through that night level without getting shocked once quite stressful. Other than that the game and trophies are so easy and relaxing😌

[@FoxiestOfTheHounds]

Not a super easy game, but String it Together in Sackboy: A Big Adventure is still a huge step up from the rest of the game and trophies.

[@amontem3]

That trophy is no longer allowed to be mentioned on this channel.... Alex has been embarrassed enough 😂

[@sirlagsalot1387]

The Flapmaster trophy in goat simulator is the hardest trophy ive done, and ive platinumed Elden Ring and Sackboy xD. That trophy is so BS!

[@ryans413]

In stray you have to do the zig zag technique with that trophy it took me a while because sometimes the Zerks will jump on you sometimes they won’t it’s a trial and error thing.

[@KostasKaranix]

For me it was Sackboy (String it together trophy) and also Goat Simulator's flappy goat was quite a frustrating one!

I'm still waiting for Rob to include the Final Fantasy 7 remake pull up challenge trophy I hated doing that I got it in the end but Jesus Christ was it difficult and only a bronze is a big slap in the face.

Those advanced IQ cubes used for Dave and Rosie at the end of the video are the bane of my existence at work. Weird to see them in a PlayStation Access video 🤣

[@chrishanner8166]

I remember the lego rock band trophy list. All of the trophies were fairly straightforward and then there was the last trophy which I never got. Hit 100% of all the notes in the guitar solo on Final countdown by Europe. It was ridiculous compared to the rest of the game. What was that trophy doing in there?!?!

[@TheReptileHand]

What a video. I feel so called out because I'm one of those gamers that goes for healthy platinums, and that means doing all the annoying trophies! I recently got the Katamari Forever platinum on PS3 that's been haunting me for 10 years, a few years back during covid. I committed to it and found old forums and spreadsheets like he said, online. Thankfully Re-roll and Reverie are the same games as their originals. Not sure if I have it in me to do it. But who can say they have all available katamari platinums?

[@marklawson2004]

The flappy goat trophy drove me insane!!! Got it in the end! 2 months after I started it! Still got the challenges outstanding on Powerwash Simulator! 😢

[@PerovNigma]

For me, it's Raccoon Them Up in _LEGO The Incredibles._ You need to do nine quicktime events with IMMEDIATE responses, and which buttons you need to press gets randomised, so you can't learn a sequence. Plus, there's about two minutes of loading screens as you return to the hub and then select the relevant level again. It's the only trophy standing between me and the platinum.

[@Truestoryguy]

What about that trophy in Heavy Rain where you have to score a perfect drive? You have to slowly maneuver the control stick, which the game never tells you, in order to not hit incoming traffic.

[@MoviesNGames007uk]

#VodSquad (I *will* resurrect it! And yes, I know this isn't even a stream.) I started watching PlayStation Access when I had an XBox. It was Rob's Friday Features that drew me to the channel. It was the team's overall brilliance, and fun attitude that kept me here. Keep up the fantastic work!

[@assassin_nr_1271]

The hardest trophy I can recall doing, has to be one from two friday featureas ago, that being the Challenge from the Witness. That took a couple tries to say the least.

The annoying trophy on Stray took me far too many attempts on both versions of the game, yet once it's unlocked it feels amazing!

The Stray one was infuriating, even when you've memorised it, sometimes they got stuck so the timing was different. Got it in the end though. Same with Goat Simulator.

[@LarsV62]

One I haven't managed yet (I gave up a few years ago) is the one where you must feed input on advance or complex life forms in the game Flow. Very simple rules: You start as a single cell organism and must feed on other organisms to grow while not being eaten yourself by hostile organisms. Now, try that without accidentally hitting the non hostile simple organisms, which are everywhere on the screen, while also making sure to feed only on more advanced life forms. Each time you feed, you grow in length - keep that in mind as you don't want to accidentally hit simple life forms while you go for the bottom of the ocean...

I honestly think the "Finish in less then 2 hours" trophy in Stray is worse. If you fail the cat run, you just do it again till you do because checkpoints. You fail that, you just wasted two hours of your life or more.

[@thorstenbrandt6256]

I never tried the two hour speedrub cause my controller got wings trying the cat run. So, no chance for me to see this trophy in my list

[@gordonjamescowiest]

And then there's the trophy where you can't use the weapon backpack in the sewers where you get swarmed by enemies and the weapon makes the level a lot easier.

[@WarriorOfTheHeavens]

@@thorstenbrandt6256 I think I finished around 1 hour 40 mins on my playthrough... I followed a speedrun guide on YT. You can pause the game to stop the timer and if you fail anything don't reload the checkpoint... just quit to the main menu and load up from there as to not add any extra time on. It's rather a forgiving time... just do it without focusing on the collectible stuff and you are off! If I did Crash Bandicoot 2 with the worst dift ever... then you should manage this game, lol ; D

[@CiarlaArt]

I think finishing in 2 hours is a lot easier, mainly because I have that trophy but to this day, I still don't have the cat run trophy.

[@TheReptileHand]

I speedran that platinum in the final hours of that game being available for PS+ last year. Both trophies were stressful but I was counting seconds in Stray. I just barely made the 2 hour mark with less than 10 minutes left I think. The other one took time and patience to master with some guides online.

[@cj_skywalker]

There are actually families you can download from the gallery in The Sims 4 that, when you visit their lots, trigger the Alphabet Legacy trophy. So someone probably already did the whole adopt-birthday-kill strategy you talked about. The game will check the family tree and see "This sim has a 26-generation family tree" and pop the trophy. This works to a lesser extent for the regular legacy trophy too.

[@SimplyPumpkins]

🥈Bolt Collector🥈 from Ratchet & Clank was my tough one. Talk about a hard grind, I had to use the infinite bolt glitch in the hoverboard track just to pull it off. I think you have to beat the game like 5 times if you want to do it legit so... yeah no thanks. 😅

I got through about 7 chapters of a Max Hastings audiobook trying that Goat Simulator trophy

[@seishunflower]

Time to mention Pom party in Trails of cold steel IV and trails into reverie, you have to beat every single opponent and the AI gets faster the longer you stay in the game so it becomes almost inhumanly impossible to beat them. Also the later opponents also start off insanely fast so basically have the reflexes of a hummingbird on caffeine if you want a BRONZE TROPHY. Bonus points: if you don’t beat all opponents you’ll be unable to unlock another bronze trophy, which will definitely lock you out of ever getting the platinum 😅
