[@tysonb1460]

My wife has been working on the “No hold, No T spin, no Tetris” in Tetris 99 for months. As soon as she heard you say Tetris 99 she knew exactly which one would be your number 1. Great video!

[@BlaizeTheDragon]

Honestly it would only have been doable when the game first dropped back when there were a load of casual players. The only people that play now (for the most part) are Tetris veterans who are absolutely using T spins and holds putting you at a serious disadvantage right away.

[@GooTheMighty]

I’ll be honest, I don’t know how to do half of those things, I guess because I’ve mostly played old versions of Tetris, so I never learned them. Not that I’m good, just stuck in my ways.

I actually accidentally earned the original "Go Outside" achievement for the Stanley Parable. If I had decided to play it like a week earlier I would have completely ruined my chance to earn it.

[@caspervnm27]

From a musical perspective the name Coda makes a lot of sense. Taking the codas of Chopin's ballades as an example, they are at the end of the pieces, intense, fast, and an absolute nightmare to learn and play.

[@stevenn1940]

I mean, each of the main characters were named after an element of music. First is Cadence, which is relatively simple, two or more chords that end a piece of music (simplified, but, essentially correct). Melody is second (longer, more complicated, more involved, I really don't know music theory but I think I'm right here). Aria is the last, which is "a self-contained piece for one voice, with or without instrumental or orchestral accompaniment, normally part of a larger work." which.... sounds really hard. Makes sense coda is a step further than that.

[@caspervnm27]

[@wrmsnicket]

@@stevenn1940 Aria’s are notorious. The old adage about the fat lady singing is explicitly referencing arias. It’s true that some can be easy. Songs like Part of Your World from The Little Mermaid as an example. But aLOT are these grandstanding moments to showcase the ability of the composer or performer. School directors will often pick shows based on whether or not the current talent pool can service the more difficult parts of a given work, the aria being a big tipping point.

[@xenxander]

been a LONG time since I read sheet music. Is that when you reach the end of sheet music and it tells you to replay a part of it with the double bar end in the middle, as they want you to replay a small portion of the middle as the end notes?

I have the Go Outside achievement for the original Stanley Parable game. Didn't know they doubled it on on the reboot/update... That's insane!

[@coreymyers5321]

The worst part of a BS achievement is when it’s only worth a bronze trophy.

[@LocalTorchwoodIntern]

Honestly Stanley Parable's placement makes sense on this list, as someone whos still doing said achievement in the first/ original TSP (2 more years to go I think?) its a pain in the ass just as much as the Tuesday one. But maybe the Narrator would be proud of me for choosing the best choice to touch grass lol.

You can do it! I got Go Outside legit, even keeping track of my game between different gaming rigs. It felt good, eventually.

Sad part about the Go Outside achievement is that if you change your PC, you have to restard counting again.

[@trident042]

@@TheMetalOverlord No, that's specifically what I'm saying did NOT occur. I had one PC, played on Steam, and when I got a new gaming PC, Steam remembered my last play date and I got the achievement on time.

what I love about the stanley parable's achievements is that the dev must of made them to mess with people, they even made fun of them in their "sequel" 😂

[@TheInfamousCloaker]

They also had an achievement in the original demo version of the game which removed itself if you played through the demo

[@user-fe8gx3ie5v]

must've*

[@ninjabluefyre3815]

In fact, I'm looking at the game's achievements now, and it's hard to believe that one of them actually says "TEST ACHIEVEMENT PLEASE IGNORE"!.

[@sethbrokmeier3744]

"Infallible" from Fall Guys required you to win 5 multiplayer games in a row, which meant winning 5 60-player Battle Royale games, which included team rounds where you could get paired up with random players. Nowadays it's a lot easier with alternate shows like Sweet Thieves, but it used to be virtually impossible.

[@temporalnix2936]

To the ESO one at number 2, here is my advice. First you need a character who has gotetn to level 50 and has gotten to the 720 champion rank. This is like a day or two of grinding to max it out. Now you make a brand new character. Champion Points are cross-character so you can get your new level 1 character to be more powerful. The reason you want this as well, between level 1-49 you get access to the weaker PvP area, the one where beginners will likely hang out. When a new week starts for PvP, immediately ask people if you can join a group, and you stick with them. If enemies come along, try to steal any kills you can. If a point appears that can be taken, stand on the point. If your team is organised (and hopefully the other 2 aren't) you can easily take the 6 keeps within 3-4 hours, and if you've been the MVP then you will hopefully be number 1 and claim the Emperor position. I made it to rank 2 through this without even trying, and it has been a consistent strategy according to those that I am in contact with.

[@ogpandamonium]

I have a video idea! "Top ten games that I will never complete" I'm sure there are loads of games that you like that you can't talk about on the channel because they are so hard to complete (or just cant be completed), it would be cool to see these games get some love!

[@LilyBlue53]

Number 1 reminds me of how Fall Guys has an achievement for winning 5 full games in a row. It's much more doable now, but at launch it was borderline impossible due to team games that were just pure luck whether you won or not. For example, the only way you can contribute in Team Tail Tag is by having one tail. You can keep it the ENTIRE time, but if your team is bad you still lose. Not to mention early on the game was filled to the brim with hackers. Somehow I managed to get this achievement after enough grinding, but it took waaaay too much time AND luck.

[@KevinKolpack]

The only way I managed this achievement was to grind the Sweet Thieves event, since getting lucky in a single team game five times in a row is far more manageable than the regular game. Now if I could just coordinate a play session with some friends and go on to win a full game, then I'd have all the achievements...

[@nignamedmutt7270]

I remember killzone 2 having 3 trophies that were basically(numbers are probably wrong) Bronze: Get top %10 on worldwide leaderboard Silver:Get top %7 on worldwide leaderboards Gold: Get top %1 on worldwide leaderboards Idk how, but I managed to get the 2 easier ones, and it felt so fucking bizarre. All I know is I recall it being shortly after midnight on a weekend(Saturday night-sunday morning) so I always figured maybe I just lucked out and they just "refreshed" leaderboards(if they even work like that). I always wished (in sony's case) they would separate online and single player trophies, because it sucks how many games I can't even bother with trophies because they're a fee years old but have dead player bases

[@Slaking_]

Me and the boys spent like 10 hours trying to grind Infallible, it sucked. Especially when, as PC players, our runs were very prone to getting destroyed by hackers. We should've went back when they had the custom queue that was literally just Jump Showdown, but at that point none of them cared anymore. Sad.

[@chaosknight8428]

That trophy/achievement immediately came to mind when I heard the Tetris one.

[@OtterlyCass]

Can't wait for the Stanly Parable Delux episode in 10 years.

[@FoBro91]

Honestly, I disagree with Super Go Outside being a bad achievement. If a normal game had an achievement that said not to play for 10 years? Yeah, that's ridiculous. But this is The Stanley Parable we're talking about. With how much the game pokes fun at gaming cliches and tropes, while also being a fever dream most of the time, the idea of this achievement isn't the craziest thing in the world. Most of the achievements in the game are just there as a joke, and Super Go Outside is no exception. What makes it even funnier is that people (myself included) will actually wait the full 10 years instead of just changing your PC/Console clock to trick the game into giving it to you. That's the beauty of the achievement, you can either get it the easy way or the absolute giga chad way.

[@HandmadeGoose97]

That and since the first game had this same exact achievement it shouldn't surprise anyone that they raised the steaks lol

[@dalimoclan]

The Super Go Outside achievement for Stanley Parable is fortunately easy on PC by changing your system clock, otherwise I also would have been frustrated by it, I sadly didn't learn about the Tuesday achievement until after I had already 100%'d the rest of the game..

It was a slap to the face for sure in the classic titles. But missing a single crate in any level in Crash 4 was like getting kicked in the nuts. Every level after world 1 had more crates in them than the longest and hardest levels of original trilogy

[@alolannassie]

ok so i have an embarrassingly huge amount of hours in tetris 99, but i've never paid attention to most of the achievement icons. hearing those achievements really had me shocked

[@jardex2275]

I think the achievement for Tetris 99 is a callback to NES Tetris, which didn't have T-Spins or a hold queue. It's still a popular way to play. So much, that they added a whole mode in Tetris Effect that emulates it.

[@ericobryant3139]

As an achievement/trophy hunter, there have been some crazy ones that get thrown in a easy list that drive me nuts. Mein Leiben mode in Wolfenstein New Colossus was brutal

[@deadtbh9868]

As someone who has spent an unhealthy amount of time playing Tetris 99 (over 1000 hours last time I checked, and that's AFTER my play time got reset) I am proud to say that out of the achievements you mentioned I've obtained all but one. I've gotten really close to the last one many times but never managed to secure it.

[@elfsong713]

Crypt of the Necrodancer is hard to begin with! I ... couldn't get past level 2. I accidentally stayed up til 8 am playing and still couldn't beat it. And that's when I put down the game forever and never tried it again. However, I *loved* Cadence of Hyrule!

[@tantheman0921]

I got Necrodancer back in 2021 of September for my birthday. I beat cadence's story a month later and Aria's in November of last year. I forget when I beat Melody's though 🤔

My god those tetris achievements are crazy. And anyone who has ever gotten them must be amazing or very very lucky.

[@bunnylizard2717]

Loved seeing this sequel to one of my favorite Completionist videos ever!! (side note: I also love when Jirard rants about a terrible achievement in the game's specific episode too, makes me feel less like I was the *only* one struggling with it, see: shadow of mordor) As soon as I heard the entry for #8 begin with talking about Final Fantasy, I knew it had to be that damned jump rope achievement. Runner up guess would have been dodging the lightning strikes in FF10. Still haven't gotten that jump rope one myself, can't blame ya for skipping it!!!!

[@jellyenjoyer1690]

I never realized that about coda in crypt of the necrodancer. Never actually unlocked her. I was proud as hell when I beat the game with aria, who, to be clear, has most of the restrictions coda has (one hp, dies if you miss a beat, can only use a dagger). But damn, adding monk (touching gold = death) and double speed..?

[@tantheman0921]

I never unlocked coda because you have to do an all characters run and you CANNOT die no matter what. Heck, I've gotten to Necrodancer as Cadence and died. Also, you have to do zone 5 in order to fight Dead Ringer instead and you start with 3 hearts instead of 5 if you unlocked every upgrade in Necrodancer.

[@Fonzzz002]

Always love these trophies/achievement videos. They can get completely nuts, sometimes.

[@NikoJr.]

"How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Saucer" from FFXIV deserves to be on this list somewhere. It requires getting 7 other achievements, some of which require months-long grinds. You can do them all at once, but that still means months of work, all for just a character title

[@GoGoCherryPie]

There is an even harder and rarer achievement which is entirely rng based and near impossible to get; you have to get a rare thief map from doing map dungeons, unlock a portal in which you pick three doors (normally it's two) and must get to the bottom...20 times. I beeeelieve around 0.1% of players if not less have the title, it's insane!

Or, maybe, some are meant for people who are crazy enough and you are not owed gamer score for buying a a game

[@Etriel321]

Great video man! Few comments on the list: 8: When I saw FF9 I thought this was going to be about the pseudo speedrun of the game you have to do in order to get Steiner's ultimate weapon but I wasn't expecting jump rope. It can be done with macros if you have something Corsair iCue (or equivalent for other PC gaming hardware) but if an achievement pretty much requires a macro it sucks for sure. 5. I don't think I've heard anyone pronounce it L-AY-SO, I've always heard L-AH-SO. Anyway the LASO achievements are such a nightmare. Completing just one is an extreme challenge. Completing four is hell. Completing four and one of them is Halo 2 is eldritch horror. Halo 2 is infamous for how hard legendary is in that game. A few years ago myself and some of my friends decided to do each of the Halo campaigns on legendary co-op. Out of the seven games that were out at the time there were only two that we didn't beat and went back down to Heroic, one was Halo 5 and the other was Halo 2. The only way I beat it solo was using the scarab gun. Hell, even one of the members of Bungie described it as "A whole new sick twist on game difficulty" 1. It was probably unintentional but I was hit with a wave of nostalgia hearing you give a rant about insane things you have to do for completion while Tetris 'A' theme plays in the back. I know those days are long over but hey.

[@beyonrandu311]

I think that a video on the worst platinum would be cool too, one that sticks out to me is Tower Unite, game is online only, has 500+ achievements, some of which are dedicated to placing 1st in minigames no one plays, among other things

I hope we get to see a New Pokemon Snap video sometime! It's probably in my top 3 switch games. Finding EVERY interaction was so much fun

[@WolfieXp]

Regarding that New Pokemon Snap achievement, i was one of maybe 10 people in the world who got that one before they patched it from 1.000.000 to 100.000. It actually only took me a few months, and it could have taken you less than that with the help of a single tweet. Once you get a single picture on the trending page, you can essentially secure that every picture you ever post from there on out also gets on the trendning page, since people will check out your profile and give medals to your other pictures. Post or repost a single picture daily to make sure you always have a picture on the trending page (they got automatically removed after a week) and you essentially have a passive income of around 10k medals every day as long as you take 5 minutes out of your day to get on the game post a new picture. The only issue is breaking through to the trending page for the first time, something that wouldn't be an issue for you. You only needed about 800 medals to break through, something you could get in 30 minutes with a single tweet of your profile name lmao

Cool video guys! Yeah, I've stopped doing those trophies where the devs are just trying to make you do stupid time-wasting things or things so awkward they don't intend you to do in the first place. Also online trophies that require you to play in parties for over 20 hours or need certain number of players, screw that bs.

[@demontamerbf18]

Edit: That was Caddicarus narrating the Stanley Parable entry? WHAT? I didn't even notice.

[@scatterbrain8764]

FYI for any aspiring game devs like me watching this - if you can't complete an achievement in your own game that you made, you should probably either tweak or remove that achievement. Don't just leave it in as-is and hope some player crazy enough would complete it for you - that's a surefire way of causing enough frustration to make it on a list like this.

I fully agree about that 3-wins-in-a-row Tetris 99 achievement. It's the only one I have out of the five you listed, so I must display it proudly!

[@MewtwoStruckBack]

Hey there! I run a Discord dedicated to a single Tetris 99 achievement you listed - winning 10 Team Battles on teams of 10 players or fewer. There’s a lot that we as a community do here - stack one team so the other teams are smaller, then when we see a team of 10 or less, we knock out the competition and then top out ourselves to give the win to the small team so they can have progress. We’ve pushed just about 60 people over the finish line since our community’s inception but are always looking to help more! If you happen to be on a small team and see a big bad player with all the badges KO everyone except you and then just immediately top out…it was probably someone from The Sharpshooter Army trying to make your life just a little bit easier.

[@zerograve9512]

And a great community it is.

[@thefiredrakon2292]

I feel like Splatoon 3 could throw it's hat in the ring for this... You have to do the following for the game to be considered "complete", at least in my eyes: - Complete the story and dlc (when it comes out) - Get all the clothing - Complete all the Wandercrust Journeys (Found on NSO) - Collect all tableturf cards and sleeves - Collect the maximum of all stickers/locker things (10 for each, with a few small exceptions) - And finally, collect all the badges. There are currently 323 and there are only more being added, as we're in season two of at least eight. Some of the badges themselves are hard, there's only a handful of players to my knowledge that have some of the rarest badges, that take a large time dump to even think about getting.

for COTND you're also forgetting about the achievment for All Chars mode, which not only requires you to beat the game with Coda but also EVERY other character in the game, all back-to-back with no deaths. Necrodancer is going to give so many people arthiritis.

In regards to #7: Setting your system clock 10+ years in the future from where the last save was will pop the achievement as soon as you start the game. It's a weird achievement, yes, but the easiest to cheese. Not worth a spot on this list in my opinion.

Everyone of all those achievements Sounds Super fun to complete. Nice video, Jirard

[@kamilslup7743]

honorable mention: Pizza Tower's "TV Purple" outfit. yes, it's not an achievement, but you can collect it. What it requires is getting a P rank on every stage in the game (expect boss stages and the crumbling tower of pizza). You gotta do every thing there is in a stage: get all the secrets, collect the treasure, earn enough points for an S rank, and maintain a combo from start to finish. It can take a lot of time to master all the stages in the game, but atleast the gameplay is extremely satisfying.

[@MicaiahBaron]

[@PeterEmrys]

you can, but that's cheating

Metal gear solid two collecting every dog tag is a nightmare

"This is a PS2 era game with achievements added on to it. That almost never goes well." Why doesn't that go well?

When number 1 was about Tetris 99, i was very confused, especially since I’m just a casual Tetris player. But when hearing them, I just had to process those achievements. Not being able to do T spins is so hard, mainly since it’s instinct, as well as holding

[@deathsnitemaresinfullust2269]

Haa! Wonderful to hear Caddicarus working with Jirard. 😄👍

[@meganpayette5996]

Alright, kudos on entry number 7. That was rather funny!

[@bonanzabrandon6877]

Diablo 2 resurrected had some interesting trophies such as getting a character to level 99 in hardcore mode (where if you die you can't play the character anymore and have to start from scratch). They patched the game eventually to change how experience works, but it used to be that once you were over lvl 95 (I think) you stopped getting xp from every monster in the game except a couple (Baal and nihlathaak). You can imagine how long it would take to get all that xp when you can only kill 2 monsters.

"How am I supposed to beat an entire Mega Man game without getting hit!?" GameChamp: 💀

[@brandondurbin3019]

Jirard, I have the ‘Emperor’ achievement. Thank you for reminding me how stupid it was to achieve. I was proud of my three platinums for Crash N-Sane trilogy, but ‘Emperor’ was a whole different animal.

[@AZ-rl7pg]

Any achievement that requires competing and/or coordinating with others should be a separate category. I hate having so many games short on 100% just because they require me to play with/against someone.

[@7th-derp41]

Yup... [*sheds a tear staring at the SINGLE missing trophy for Genshin*]

[@NecroCritic]

To be fair, "Super Go Outside" is ludicrously easy to cheese. Just toy around with your system clock.

When this kind of topic comes up, 3 specific ones always haunt my dreams. Coda in Necrodancer is the first of them, I am glad to see it have made the list. Reminds me I still have a LOT to go toward the more basic achievements of that game, let alone even think about Coda. Like simply completing the story mode, or finding 3 stupidly rare green bats. I only JUST found my FIRST one about a month ago, since early access... Second, there is (or WAS apparently; I did some research) Sewer Brew for the game Dungeons of Dredmor. It was ultimately a joke from the devs, a statement toward achievements and completion and all that. "Meet somebody from Gaslamp Games and consume alcoholic beverages in their presence." That was my wake-up call that not every dev has good intentions, and for me to just achievement hunt a bit less. Looks like it was removed a few years ago. Game supposedly still has bugged achievements, and Gaslamp is long gone, so still can't ever complete it. Lastly, much like the prior one, the "achievement" is some statement / joke. Don't fill the Gauge! from the game GAUGE. Severe epilepsy warning if you look into the game. The entire game concept is to simply hold a button to fill a bar, but never let it empty or - more importantly - max it out, while it gets tougher with visual noise and nonsense. "This achievement is here to prevent you from filling achievement gauge to 100%... and die. You can't unlock it." It is what it says on the tin. While barely a game in of itself, noticing this achievement hurt more than the eye strain it caused. I know you likely aren't looking for more, I just wanted to share ones that angered me personally. Also, thanks for reminding me how horrible most of the Tetris 99 ones are, ugh~

As much as I love the game, completing Black Mesa was somewhat agonizing, because they went **way** overboard with "Little Rocket Man"-like achievements - achievements that involve carrying an object through large portions of the game. "Rare Specimen" involves taking a purple top hat (hidden in an especially random and innocuous spot) from the 2nd chapter and carrying it all the way to when you enter Xen. The hat disappears once you enter Xen and you get the achievement, but it's not over yet, because you have to play up to the final boss during that playthrough to unlock _another achievement_ ("The Rarest Specimen"). "The Plan" and "Unquestionably Ethical" involve carrying a tank of gas for a full chapter and sending it in a teleporter, which later opens a path that gives you a choice between the two (this choice can thankfully be save-scummed). However, the worst is "Pepperoni Precipitation" - carrying a pizza box from Chapter 11 (Questionable Ethics) all the way to the final boss. This isn't as long as "Rare Specimen", so what makes it worse? *PHYSICS!* Xen has air flue vents that will _always_ make you lose grip of the pizza if you carry it in most orientations; you have to trial-and-error with dropping it on stuff so you can carry it some other way, and then hope and pray it stays with you through the vent (Oh, and you have to look the right way too; that can also affect it). There is no obvious tell for what works, it feels basically random. All of this is on top of playing through Surface Tension and Black Mesa's Xen with the handicap of carrying an object through the whole way, firefights and all. It *is* possible to cheese all of these by turning on cheats, turning them off just before the cutoff, and reloading an autosave to turn achievements back on, but I didn't know this. So I fully completed Black Mesa's achievements without any illegitimate assistance, because I'm a masochist apparently.

[@tinkerer3399]

It is true that the DMC one goes against the spirit of the game but it is precisely up my alley.

[@connorlifetheuniverseandev8243]

The influencer achievement in New pokemon snap reminds me of the many, many "player downloaded your thing x number of times" accolades in Forza Horizon 5. This includes car tunes, vinyls, paint jobs, event blueprints, and what is the worst offender of all: photos. You can't even access player photos within the game. you have to download them on a separate website that you sign into. Those and the ones that require you to win consecutive eliminator (forza's battle royal mode) matches are just rude.

[@LakituAl]

Can confirm, some of them Tetris 99 achievements are ludicrous. Through stubbornness and pride I got the icons for the 99 and 999 tickets ones, and then I uninstalled. I read about the No T Spin one and said I ain't doin that, no siree.

[@SWad250]

The DMC achievement is pretty novel, and it is cool that there was actually that much enemy depth into the first entry into the series. But yeah, I see why it got to the bottom of this list.

[@spud76]

Achievements i really hate is, those i can't avoid, they are just given, ding you're lvl xx or you have completed a mission. I really miss those achievements that have meaning and players have to make an effort to get, their by the name achievement :-D But here comes the funny part, if you play a game without those achievements, it feels wrong some how :-D

[@CatPianoClassics]

How the hell did you know I was gonna yawn after that joke? Seriously. I'm kinda freaked out now!

[@Volvagia1927]

To categorize them? 10-8 and 6-5: Will do all of these eventually, but they'll take a while. 7: If I do an episode on this game, it'll be without this one having popped. 4-1: Disqualifying.

[@Uncreative1]

Hey Jirard and co. just wanted to know your opinion on Doom and Doom 2's nightmare co-op trophies. I've gotten Doom one's trophy twice (for myself and a friend) but the dedication and memorization for Doom 2 is a bit much to say the least (considering you and a partner must master the game to acquire the trophy) .

[@wantstobehitbyatruck7618]

as someone who had eso emperor title multiple times, the hardest part is the broken sets zos releases that break pvp. the cheaters, the bugs and the addons

[@artminusme]

4:22 THANK YOU!!!!! i love Final Fantasy but I also love being a completionist and the FF IX jump rope is far worse than the the FF X Lightning strike imo it absolutely sucks!!

[@zombieguy4444]

So we have: 10. National Geographic 9. Instagram 8. Jump 7. Touch grass 6. Over and over and over and over and over and... 5. Soul melter 4. VG Myths 3. Stress 2. Small world's best 1. Tetris

[@starhew2868]

Playing Vivi's them over different FF cutscenes drastically changes the tone of the cutscene

[@permeus2nd]

15:04 this one was actually passed around by a few guilds and of course you had to pay for it with real money.
