@@Snamwichesthe pantheon was brutal, but in terms of time spent and pressure for any mistakes, achieving 7-99 in Spelunky 2 took me about 10x as long to grind out, and a successful run takes 4 hours or so.

This is literally smart as hell, why? Cause he made a whole video about his own achievements right? But if you’re new to the channel, then you learn a little about each achievement for each game, which in turn, you get a sneak peek at each of Snam’s videos on said topics. He made a self promotion (flex) video…. and I love it. Cause it’s only been a year on the platform but at this point we are here for him, not what he puts out. keep going Snam, you’re doing great. 1 million by halfway through next year, I’m calling it. “oh wait, that’s the wrong game.” -Snam in almost every video. ⚰️🤘🏻🖤

[@jonathanross2221]

@@arthurfleck629 I have spent too many hours of my life thinking about this. Step 1: play through on survivor or zealot to jog your memory of the game! Try out different weapons to see what you like, take note of spots you struggle on to potentially make saves for in HC, and get good at using statsis, and cutting blades off necromorphs to fire back at them. Practice catching puker and spitter spit and throwing it back at them! General combat tip: Stalkers can only come at you one at a time, and the one that’s attacking will howl before running at you, so be alert and you’ll never get hit!! Also, that super hard section where Ellie is trying to unlock the door and you’re fighting off waves of necromorphs? Literally just run around in circles and don’t kill anything. The initial wave is kids, and you can outrun them. If you don’t kill any, more won’t spawn in. (inLove!! Posted a no damage zealot run playthrough I studied for my HC run, and this blew my mind) Hell, I strongly recommend that video, the level of play gives you some good ideas of how to master this game Stick to plasma cutter and one other gun. The Javelin gun is a great pick because it does a ton of damage and it’s alt fire is great crowd control for kids. Stasis is KING and should be upgraded and used liberally. Enemies in this game are designed to be fast and overwhelming, so slow ‘em down a bit😈😈I’ve done HC with just plasma cutter and stasis (well, until the end) At the end of the game, respec your second weapon to buy and upgrade a CONTACT BEAM. The AOE alt fire with stasis trivializes the government sector, and the main fire is insane damage. You can see these weapon choices in the playthrough I mentioned putting in WORK. If you’re playing on any Xbox console, you also get 4* saves. The original 360 version had two discs, and at Chapter 7 the game is programmed with a fixed save for that transition. This works on Series X, S, Xbox One, all of ‘em. My saves were chapter 7*, before drill ride, before eye machine, and the last save station right outside the boss fight My saves are way different than what’s normally recommended but that’s why I say to play it and see what you struggle with the most! I thought Snam’s saves were kooky as hell, as he would think mine, but we both got the job done. And most importantly, HAVE FUN, I am confident in saying this is the best game ever made, it is an absolute treat even on a frustrating challenge run.

I'd like to see a Halo Wars (first one) Legendary run (or LASO if you really want to suffer).

[@rcxdmaster1242]

Its not in the list of games in this video, but the hardest achievement I have gotten was completing the Call of Duty Black Ops 3 campaign on Realistic difficulty. The achievement is called "No one will believe you" and the reason why it was so tough was that if you got hit there was about a 95% chance it would one shot you or leave you at one health. It was a big issue in the more enemy heavy missions and the multiple boss fights but I believe it was made for 4 player coop but I still ran it solo.

[@wjcciv]

Great idea for a tier list! I think the achievement I'm most proud of is Stampers Forever for Rare Replay. While it's not the hardest achievement, it's the one that I spent the most time getting. Having to play the older games from the ZX Spectrum (If the cheats disabled achievements, I'd never have finished the achievement), to finding appreciation for games like Jetforce Gemini or Banjo Kazooie: Nuts & Bolts. Although Perfect Dark Zero was a rough point in Stampers Forever because of how you had to grind out multiplayer bot matches to get the 750g required for all the stamps. Here's to another year, and so glad I discovered your channel.

I enjoy Dead Space 2 so thoroughly, that I replay Hard To The Core every so often. It’s literally just playing the game, and not even on the most difficult settings. Max upgrades on The Pulse Gun and Line Gun, with Contact Gun equipped just to sell its ammo. And choosing your save points is crucial. Don’t save too early. But go ahead and wait for your third save for right before the Eye machine. I feel like if you love that game, it’s the best way to play. You have second highest difficulty enemies, highest difficulty resources, and a less arduous permadeath. Love it.

[@beartackle]

I did the Mile High Club achievement back when COD 4 came out. It was so frustrating, and I just got lucky spamming grenades in different places and creeping forward. I think there was a mission where I had to protect someone, and I remember placing him underneath something and luckily it helped to save him. What sucks is that I didn't know what achievements were, so I got the achievement on my brother's Xbox 360, and when I finally got my own console, I didn't even bother transferring the gamertag to my own Xbox 360, so my achievement is lost forever. I do have the remake of the game on my Series S, so I may try it again. Maybe.

Doing every boss on Radiant in Hollow Knight definitely took some years off my life. Most of them weren’t too bad imo, but Radiant Absolute Radiance and Markoth were insane. The only thing that I’d put above that was doing everything in Doom Eternal on Ultra Nightmare without any super weapons or chaingun shield. All campaigns and all Master Levels. That was a several month long affair.

Oh man, I was so sure Pantheon 5 would be an automatic S-tier, that is a brutal achievement. I think you have a warped view of it due to playing it for so many months getting those zero hit boss runs done :P. Nice list though, I’ve got a few of the higher ones.

[@Snamwiches]

I truly think I’m the only person in the world that thinks of Panth 5 that way. Bosses were soooo easy after beating them on radiant

[@OceansideSpiderHouse]

I’ve done quite a few of these achievements myself, including Left 4 Dead 2 expert realism (with one friend) and all radiance in Hollow Knight, and I just wanted to say that I 1000% agree with your take on all radiance. I’ve been playing hard games for 20 years, and nothing comes close to radiance-difficulty Absolute Radiance. Even after beating all other radiance fights and steel soul 100%, it still took two weeks, three hours a night, to beat AbsRad once. Hearing you express your own struggle with AbsRad made me relive that insane dopamine rush from my own victory against that beast. One thing I’d add to your justification on AbsRad is that the bastard screams at you and flashbangs you with a bright white title card before *every single attempt.* It made the grind so much harder than other fights, like built in sensory depravation before being thrown to a shark. That said, if anybody out there is gearing up for their own steel soul 100% run, I would strongly recommend actually giving radiance or attuned runs in the pantheon a try first. Bosses are the main (and basically the only) choke points in the run, so practicing harder versions of the bosses than what you’ll face will make steel soul pretty doable, easy even. Remember as well that the “fragile charms” are very powerful in steel soul because death is off the table anyway. Best of luck!

We then decided to do Halo 2 on co-op with 8 skulls on, which took another 4 months. I'm not even going to bother describing that. Also about Alien: Isolation, playing on PS4 my main problems were fighting the weird controls and frame drops, not the enemies.

oh don't worry, If I end up making video games i'll put some of the most unfair achievements I can think of into them just for your s tier. And to be honest it's not going to be fun. "This is hell" and "This is hell squared" are two of the hardest achievements i can come up with. "This is hell" is a game mode that makes you die in one hit, makes you restart the game on death, and you have to play on the hardest difficulty (Which will be like expert realism from left 4 dead 2). "This is hell squared" is "This is hell" but you can't upgrade anything and you only have the starting weapon.

Man, the hard part about Wolfenstein II is actually watching the first unskippable cutscene that is 20 minutes long everytime you die...

[@karavandriver7294]

Amazing tier list Snam, thank you for all the fun videos to watch over the last year. Also, how did I miss the all radiance challenge? Gonna watch that now, thanks!

[@Snamwiches]

That was before KZbin unfortunately so the footage doesn’t exist besides a few clips remaining on twitch. Super bummed about it but maybe I’ll do something like it again with Silksong!

[@ApocalypticK9Art]

As an Alien: Isolation player, that acheivement sounds fucking insane. I played on easy on my first playthrough and died a fair amount of times - even though the AI is nothing compared to nightmare mode (which I'm currently tackling) there's still so many moments where it could catch you out! Facehuggers in the nest that you sometimes can't see until its too late, getting pulled into vents, making even the tiniest mistake! So many death traps. I love that game, but, hell, is it hard 🤣

[@MaverickHunterXZA]

I usually find these tierlist videos to be exceptionally boring. Well, you got the achievement for making one that's super entertaining as well! Good luck on future runs! Really looking forward to the DMC5 one.

[@brandonwhite7671]

Give lost planet 1 all medals on extreme a go that was insane

[@gladiatoor1756]

I’m genuinely glad I found your channel, never thought that one day I’ll enjoy watching an achievement hunter, last time i tried watching similar content was many years ago, and I’m really having fun watching you play dude, keep up the good work, can’t wait for Wolfenstein 2 !

[@DaTanMan01]

I’m glad KZbin recommended your videos to me from the start. I look forward to much more suffering, and if you do achievements with viewers, I volunteer as tribute!

[@Emilia2003PL]

Man. I have to agree with placement of Bioshock Infinite. I did this achievement a month ago because I was doing whole series 100% and my God this achievement was a nightmare. I was about to rage quit it out of just pure annoyance but I am glad I push through this horrible achievement. Like 1999 difficulty feels like baby mode compare to this one. I manged to do entire L4D2 100% on Steam. Didn't do solo expert but still that game is hard as hell. Congrats on doing it solo. Other one I did 100% was Portal 2 being my second ever 100% after Portal 1. That one wasn't hard really but again gotta give credit for trying solo. I can't really comment on other games since I haven't done them 100% but all I can say is that the list is impressive. I can't wait for Super Meat Boy Devil May Cry 5 and everything else you do. Keep up the good work!

[@ShoutingzombiePSTrophyHunter]

This is a great idea ranking achievements :D Only done 3 from this list Left 4 Dead (Steam version) Gears Of War 1 (360 version) Resident Evil 2 Remake (PS4 version) Out of those 3 I'd say Gears 1 was hardest judging from all the deaths you would have in seconds, just remembering makes me shiver.

[@deathlyshuriken1540]

As a proud recipient of Embrace the Void from Hollow Knight, I can effectively say that challenge is NO JOKE. While it only took me about 30 hours from start to end to finish the Godhome portion of the game, (About 15 or so for Pantheon V) there are few experiences in gaming quite like it. Still my console wallpaper to this day :)

[@SeniorCharry]

Respect for the achievement hunts. I used to grind games for those achievement points, but now with so many games I just play for fun. I have a job and stuff, but I hate when people act like they are sooooo busy with work and they don't have time to play games. Just be honest and say you would rather binge Netflix 3 hours a night lol, or just say playing games isn't your thing. I work two jobs and overtime and still have time to play games. Went on a tangent for no reason haha.

[@ItzClobert]

Oh man I can't wait for the Mein leben attempts. Please include a death counter.

[@petrzazo9735]

Achievement "Surviving Deep Darkness" in Resident Evil Revelations would end up at C tier. You have to beat story mode on normal or infernal difficulty without a single death. There are some enemies that can insta-kill you (like Scagdead or Wall Blister), but it's really not hard to beat Resident Evil Revelations on Normal difficulty.

[@ChrisPBacon2]

I unlocked the cat ears in RE2, my gaming pride and joy (it's not an achievement/trophy perse, but it was hell)

[@iLL_WiLL_]

2:50 I don't know, having hope for the majority just to have it ripped from you in the final seconds can be pretty brutal.

[@dfx81]

Best thing about L4D2 is you can make it as hard or as easy as you want by using mutations. The only bad thing about it is you can't really 100% the game because of time-limited achievements.

[@Snamwiches]

Yeah, thankfully the time based stuff never came to Xbox so I’m sitting pretty on my completion there haha

[@thelilhedgehog6855]

Surprised Halo Infinite LASO made it on this list, especially in B tier. That achievement was so easy. No iron skull so you didn’t have to worry about restarting. Infinite ammo, grenades and abilities made it super easy. Just grab a rocket launcher and you can kill anything. The upgraded booster lets you go invisible, so if you just use that throughout the levels the enemies can’t shoot at you. Blind didn’t work because the grapple icon still showed up, which worked as a crosshair. Though I think they fixed that. Every other Halo LASO is hard but honestly this was easier than my legendary play through.

[@Snamwiches]

I think my reasoning is that before you get outside with power weapons, fighting that one boss right before was such a pain that I couldn’t put it any lower haha

[@zacharyyoungblood7013]

I'm in year 2 of my Pantheon of Hallownest grind and would like to beg to differ on its placement. The real struggle with it isn't in the bosses, but the fact that everyone run takes an hour and a half, and at the hour mark you need to pray to rng that Markoth plays nice. Radiant bosses were hard and steel soul, well if you played patiently enough it wasn't THAT bad, but PoH continues to elude me

[@stay.night1]

growing up with l4d2 and having 1k+ hours on it, i never would've thought "the real deal" was THAT hard.

[@bengopalmi80]

I think this video is a testament to how “hard” trophies and achievements have their rarities inflated by either a very large player base who doesn’t care about achievements, or are simply either tedious or time consuming. In any case congrats on all the hard stuff you did, insane to do both l4d games solo on the highest difficuties, and hollow knight requires you to literally transcend your human form to even attempt going for 100%

[@lazypaladin]

_All the Blue Ribbons in Bioshock Infinite _*_in Bioshock 2?!_*_ That must've been hella tedious to run, nevermind beat._

[@Joov]

World Champion (Multiplayer) achievement in Ghost Recon: Advanced Warfighter when Snam????

[@Snamwiches]

If you have 8 Xbox 360s lying around somewhere that I can borrow, I’m game!
