I immediately thought of the Genji armor pieces in Final Fantasy V. You needed either a thief or someone with the Steal command in the encounters with Gilgamesh, and you had to steal them before the battle ended.
Oh god yes. And only the gloves are obtained in a mandatory boss battle, on Xezat's Fleet, while the other encounters are all optional! And in the last one Gilgamesh is even on your side and you have to steal the armor from him before he goes kamikaze against Necrophobe
The Genji Gear in V, the Zodiac Spear in XII, the Pink Tail in IV, even the Water Rondo (a spell rather than an item) in VI. Final Fantasy loves this particular bit.
@@PKFlashOmegawell not a spell, but a dance for mog. Either way if you don’t go back and do a water level with him in the party before going to world of ruin there is no way to obtain it then.
Every time a list like this comes up, the first Surprise Box in Mario RPG should always be mentioned. You get one shot to make a jump to grab a hidden chest that you didn’t know was a thing at the beginning of the game, and missing it means you can never find every Surprise Box and complete that (otherwise meaningless) side mission.
I was just thinking about that item too! Good thing the HD remake fixed that aspect of the original game so if you miss the surprise box the first time, you can go back later and get it.
Those were mostly in place to increase replay value on otherwise short and linear games, so playing again to find that secret you forgot was a thing. In RPGs 30~100 hours long, missing a content because you missed that hidden stone isn't so great anymore.
@@masteroak9724 I don't know where you've been but back in the day 30 hours on an rpg was considered short. I remember when Grandia 2 came out, both me and my partner were really disappointed it was incredibly short compared to 1.
@Ms666slayer in the 80s, yeah alot of it was hardware limitations. The 90s had plenty of rpgs boasting 40+ hours of main storyline alone. Infact the game he names was 42 hours for the story the sequal was early 2000s and 40ish total iirc.
I'm going through Dragon's Dogma and how easy it is to mess up the quest to get the Golden Idol which unlocks some weapons on 1 of 2 shops that carries on to NG+ is crazy
Neverwinter Nights 2 was not 'D&D inspired', it *was* D&D. Neverwinter is a location in the Forgotten Realms setting, and it uses a simplified version of D&D3.5 rules.
@@AspieMemoires Nah, we have MUCH older ones. I still have the CD with Dark Sun: Shattered Lands flying around, that one was based on second edition rules :D Such a weird game. I think we have a bunch of older ones too but I don't know how accurate the ruleset in those games was but they did use the setting.
If I remember correctly Akalabeth was loosely based on DnD, "took inspiration from" would be a more accurate description as it used a much simpler stat system, but that game came out in 1979, which I think is about as far back as video game RPG history goes.
You missed Nakrin's staff which is unique and challenging to get as it activates the escape portal so the only way to get it is to grab it as you fall into the exit portal.
Something I felt that should be added, in Fallout 3 when you witness your Dad succumb to the radiation inside Project Purity, you can manipulate the camera to loot him and Autumn for their unique weapons and armor. Doing this actually allows Autumn (who I’ll never understand how he survived that) to carry a second unique weapon during the last mission of the main game, which is semi pointless since the game ends right after that. (not counting the Broken Steel DLC that was added later that lets you keep going post game)
Yeah that confused me too, so I looked it up. Apparently Autumn survived by injecting himself with some kind of serum or anti-radiation medicine before passing out, possibly a more advanced or powerful form of Rad-X or RadAway developed by the Enclave. Its easy to miss since most people are more focused on their character's dad than Autumn, and nobody in the story mentions or calls attention to it either.
The Shield Weaver armor from Horizon Zero Dawn. One of the power cells you need to unlock it is inside All Mother Mountain and you only get in there twice during the game but only once after you know to look for the cells.
Eh once it opens it stays open tho the second time so i dont really think thats right Although glitching through was always an option according to memory
The Uzi's in the original Tomb Raider game. They could only be found in one specific level. And you had to make a series of jumps on invisible ledges in mid air to get to the point where you finally could grab the weapons.
Thanks for reminding me of that and the tomb raider hotline you could call to get hints and tips to beat the level. I got in so much trouble when the phone bill came in the next month.
Zodiac Spear in FF12 (original version) was theee most obscure weapon I’ve ever seen, almost impossible to get without a guide too! This has obviously changed in the newer version of the game
The Skyrim mask one isn't really easy to miss. You literally HAVE to kill the dragon Priest to get his staff to open the portal, and by then its pretty clear those masks are collectible items.
@@meinebosma you’re right about that my mistake it’s Nahkriin, but in my defense they literally do all have the same models lmao method remains the same
I immediately thought of Fallout New Vegas and the cram opener on the character Little Buster. After all the fiend leaders are defeated, Little Buster will leave. 2 days later, his corpse will be by the train tracks. If the player did not pickpocket or find his body, it will eventually despawn...
5:30 As an Arcane Warrior, there is actually a hidden secret doorway you can interact with in one of the Ancient Elven Tombs that leads to unique fade statues with a greater bonus to the ones found earlier- Yet I've never once found a video on them
Barret's Ultimate Weapon in original FF7 was my first time experience this kind of situation I had to bail on saving and replay a late section again because if Barret isnt with you then the item box doesnt appear and you never get to return to the area, this also forces you to use Barret for a certain few bosses as a fight is right after his weapon box appearance
There is a save point right before the hojo fight so you can literally just swap him right before that fight then go back down the stairs and get Barrets weapon
@@jasoncruz3910 I think behind Marsil's point is that FF7 is a game from pre-guides online for everything days. Unless you know that you need to have Barret in your party, the section in question is one that you will blitz through relatively quickly (and most likely save very soon after), unintentionally locking yourself out of the weapon. Yes, all well and good if you've saved such that you can reload an earlier one but it's incredibly easy to miss because as was pointed out, the chest isn't there unless you've got him. It's not like a locked door where its obvious something is there.
JakeTheDude863 Exactly. You could make the same argument for most of these tbh. Nothing is technically "missable" if you can just reload a save from an earlier point. If we're going FF7, while not technically and item, Pandoras box is a once per playthrough spell. If you die to it, it won't be cast a game on the playthrough even from a prior save and if the dragon zombie runs out of mp trying to cast it, it will never do it again
@@WhatTheFirstAidSpray I was the type to try and buy the strategy back when they were plenty popular and most games had a Day 1 guide but I get his point
I can think of a item that should be on this list, the snakish sword from phantom brave. The best way to get it is to obtain a certain character in the beginning with high speed to get the sword in the weapon tutorial mission
The hidden chest in super Mario rpg. Only time you can get is in the beginning of the game BEFORE you ever know it’s there. Even when you know where it is, it takes a lot of tries to get the timing right for it.
It gets crazier with Incitatus in Crusdaer Kings II. You can marry off Incitatus, and produce heirs. Horse-heirs. Yes, you can replace your entire faction with horses, and the Devs did plan for this.
Hell. You could say this for Legendary Pokemon in itself. I remember the very 1st official pokemon game I got as a kid. I had no idea what I was in for because up until that point in my mind pokemon respawned. I accidently ended up KO'ing my legendary, but didnt think much of it because I was so used to pokemon respawning after some time. Nope. I lost my legendary forever because I was unwilling to restart my game and lose literally everything else I had worked up to that point.
My first thought was the Bolt of Gransax in Elden Ring. You gotta seek it out before making it much further in the game or it becomes buried under a mountain of ash. It carried me through the second half of the game, definitely worth finding
Cyberpunk 2077: If you wanted to do a Katana-build you'd better make sure you double check everything in the intro-mission where you infiltrate the Arasaka company. When you get to the top floor where you need to be you get to explore a big room, but you can't go outside on the balcony because the glass doors are shut. After you get what you need and watching a pretty long event the alarm goes off and you have to get out of there quickly while the game points you to the escape route and gives you the illusion that enemies are coming to you. What it doesn't tell you is that those glass doors to the balcony on the other side of the room are now suddenly unlocked and you can open them. If you go through them and up some stairs outside you get on top of the roof where an helicopter is with a katana inside. This katana is one of the strongest, if not THE strongest katana you can get in the game and if you miss it in this moment you'll won't be able to get it again unless doing a New Game. For the next 20-30 hours you won't get a katana even nearly as strong and people probably googled where to find a better katana after about 10 hours only to find out they missed it and have to play all over again if the want it.
I played a game as a kid called aero elite combat academy on the PS2. There was a feature where, randomly throughout your game, you would get a scramble alert. You had to quickly kit out an aircraft you'd unlocked, take off, chase down a target, shoot it down, and land again. If you crashed or died, you lost that plane permanently. I vividly remember getting scrambled, grabbing my f15, and going to take off when I got buzzed by a UFO!! I had to fly as fast as I could to catch up with it, accidentally dropped my external fuel pods, and ran out of fuel before I could catch up. To this day, I can't find any video on it and nobody believes me. So immersive
Missing out on the weaker Lynel weapons really isn't something to be too troubled over, since you can have pictures of them recorded onto the Hyrule Compendium by heading to the Hateno Ancient Tech Lab.
And not being able to take the photos myself using the kickass weapon stands in my own home? No way in hell. That just feels dirty. I actually feel stronger about that than liberally using duplication glitches in TOTK.
And the pictures of the bosses that you can only fight once in BotW 🙃That really bugged me. I get it, they let you still complete the quest, but doing it all solo just feels more right. Once I realized I missed the lynel picture and would have to buy it, I gave up on the compendium completely. Just felt like a waste of time knowing I could just sell everything at the end and buy all the pictures. TotK is nice, as far as I know, there's nothing "missable" for the compendium, there are areas where weaker monsters are guaranteed to appear even at endgame to get the pictures and the bosses are repeatable if you know where to look
@@triffinne The one thing that can be aggravating with Tears of the Kingdom, however, is trying to find all of the pristine weapons. And the only way to do that is to break their decayed variants, but that's only half the battle; where the pristine weapons can spawn is all location dependent.
@@triffinne Yeah, if one wants to have a pristine Royal Guard's Claymore, you have to first break the decayed variant that's found in Hyrule Castle's Sanctum. And even after you do that, the pristine weapon won't spawn just anywhere in the Depths; it apparently only has a chance of spawning at the Gerudo Canyon Mine, or by the Shadow Soldier who's the closest to the Ni-iraram Lightroot (which is located below Eventide Island).
Earthbound - sword of kings, and in FFT had a few...the most annoying to get was the genji stuff from Elmdore...had to steal it from him, but he can turn you into a vampire
@@civilwildman but regardless of vampire status, the steal success rate is low, and if you aren't leveled up or over leveled, the battle would be long and tedious.
@@civilwildman those items didn't exist other than Ribbon and a certain purse, both of which items were female-exclusive and fairly impractical. so, in order to get them from him, you have to enter the fight with sub-optimal builds while approximately half of your team or at minimum 1 member are turned into a permanent ally for elmdore.
while not important items, but important for lore, in the Trails/Kiseki series, you can find these books throughout the game but they're at very specific times and if you miss the very very small window to obtain them, they're gone forever (though you can still trigger them in the pawn shops later down the line, but that's based on RNG)
I feel like Nahkriin is kind of a poor inclusion on this list when you consider the fact that killing Nahkriin is a soft requirement of entering Sovngarde and continuing the quest, as most players likely aren't going to rush up and stop Nahkriin from disabling the portal, which then requires you to kill and loot Nahkriin to re-open it. So while it's rare in the fact you only get one chance at it, basically everyone will be able to easily acquire it unless they either rush past Nahkriin to jump into the portal before they close it, don't do the main questline, or deliberately choose not to loot the mask when looting the staff. A better example would be the unique Dragon Priest Staff that Nahkriin uses and that serves as the key to Sovngarde's portal, as the only way to get and keep it is taking extra steps to kill Nakhriin right as he takes the staff so you can loot his corpse and jump into the portal before it fully closes (as the portal remains active for a couple seconds after the staff is removed).
Cyberpunk 2077 the katana Satori and Johnny's full outfit. The katana with the right skills and upgrades will one hit most enemies as long as you aim for their heads.
The last visit to Shinra HQ in Final Fantasy 7 always screwed me over because there's two or three ultimate weapons for characters that you can't get unless you bring those exact characters on the mission. Ugh!
@@LLUstgBtl272 it doesn't really have anything to do with luck, it's just very difficult. You have to let Nahkriin take the staff from the pedestal and then kill him, loot his body and jump into the portal before it closes, which it does pretty much immediately after he takes the staff
You only have one chance to get th3 towel armor in Witcher 3: Wild Hunt. You can only get it by dropping it from your inventory during your firsr visit to the Nilfgard Palace and before you leave. Otherwise you missed it. Its not good but its unique and funny and alot of people use it for no armor hard mode runs.
My first thought was the stinkpot from borderlands 2 captain scarlet DLC, you can only get it from no-beard in the beginning of the dlc and it only a small chance for it to drop
Final Fantasy Tactics Advance, there are MANY items only available if you steal from enemies that only appear once. I managed in one playthrough to get everything, but that was a chore, using all characters with Steal and surrounding enemies to insure i got everything.
Bro, in skyrim there are a lot of more rare items than a mask that all players taken for do THE MAIN QUEST (that is the common quest). If you want an example: the jarrin root given to you from astrid; is not difficult for players (expecially for new players) to use it in the mission, so a certain part of players don't know for example they can have it and collect this unique item (unique, if u dont use glitches, bugs mods...)
There is a staff in Skyrim that you only get 1 chance to get. Can't remember the name, but I do think you have to fight a Dragon Preist to get it (don't remember though). Thing is, said boss goes through a portal where the staff is. If you go past the staff & don't select it you will miss your chance to get it. Once you see the option to pick it up, do it.
Fun fact it is nakriin his staff is far harder ro get than the mask don’t know exactly how you get it I fid a few times there’s a description how online
To correct this, the staff is Nahkriin's staff and the only way to get it is by reaching Nahkriin before he takes the staff, killing him right as he picks it up, then quickly looting his corpse and jumping into the portal in that couple second window before the portal closes.
You have like two seconds to pick the staff up after the portal opens, then you cant interact with it (I think its also correct that the dragon priest needs to die first, there was something...(maybe the portal opens when you kill the dragon priest or the staff automatically goes to the portal and opens it if you kill the priest before he opens it and thats the only way to have the 2 second timespan to pick the staff up... its been years since i did this))
I remember this staff. I got the mask and staff since I didn't want spoilers, I thought there was a full armor so I stayed in that level for far longer than needed
Atma Weapon FFIII/VI in cave after Espers are released. Technically you can steal one from a mini boss right before the final boss but you can't go back to the world map at that point.
The only catch is that some of the weaker Lynels will change into Silver Lynels, depending on your game progress. However, I have yet to see a single spear-wielding Silver Lynel in Tears of the Kingdom.
Yoinking the blood sword from Gafgarian was always pretty beneficial. Same with trying to steal all the genji armor off of Elmdor. The second one of these things being much harder.
The Blood sword isn’t one of a kind, though. You can get them via poaching or in the Deep Dungeon. Maybe not the most useful at that time, but they can be obtained in other ways.
There’s also a few one chance items in Cyberpunk 2077, I know of for sure a set of clothes, a sword, and a pistol that all have to be looted before the end of the Heist that sets up the entire game
Slayer Robe in Xenogears. Good luck beating Alpha Weltall in a fight that you're supposed to lose, but if you manage to win the hardest fight in the game, you get the Slayer Robe as a prize.
Interesting, I see no one mention EarthBound's Sword of Kings. The only weapon that will increase (instead of decrease) Prince Poo's Attack. You have a 1/128 chance to find one after each Starman Super you defeat, but they only appear in one place in the game, and they vanish once you've cleared it. Technically, the American manual tells you about it, but as much as people ignore manuals (like RUclipsrs embarrassingly calling Duck Hunt's controllable ducks a "secret"), you know *MANY* ppl never even know he can do better than just bare hands.
Since I plan on giving Dragon Age Origins another shot, I am going to save this video in case I make it far enough to use the information in it. Good looking out. 👌🏾
Star Ocean 2 The Second Story is a great classic title that belongs on this list. The entire game is designed around how specific choices you make that are as minor as speaking to a specific villager or party member at a specific time, can alter who joins your party, and what sort of items you can get. Much like how pokemon have various natures, your character can actually start with background skills that effect what combat skills or even support skills you can easily learn. My favorite one, and I may have some details wrong after all these years, is the ability to pickpocket. 95% of the time you will only get trash and basic items, maybe a few coins, but there is some of the most powerful armor in the game you can get only if you pickpocket people in once in a game timeline chance as well as all sorts of random unique items, some of which are pretty awesome. It involves starting off with the skill dexterity. if you dont have it, restart the game till you do. Then farming lots of cash so you can afford a super expensive item thats actually skipping ahead of progression to visit the town its in because if you follow the story till you get sent there, you miss your chance. Thats how nuts it gets. And your pickpocket chance can FAIL too, so you have to grind it up to max level so it doesnt before you go for the items. It takes a lot of time and effort to do but the payoff is pretty nuts because as i said, while most of the loot is trash, some of it is unique and very powerful. There are entire guides out there spelling out how to do it all. And thats just one of the many, MANY secrets and hidden things you can do or unlock in that game.
There are several from Morrowind, Oblivion, and Skyrim now that I think of it. When you teleport to Mournhold there is a quest that takes you to some huge abandoned Dwemer ruin and there was something there you can find... but once that mission ends you can't go back to get the good stuff (been so long now I cant remember what it was). Skyrim also has a mission where you infiltrate and become a spy... it is a once only mission with no return as well. Skyrim also has that mission where you are pulled way into the sky and given something by one of the gods.... Several like that... Oblivion has a vampire quest that pays out a good reward... depending on a choice you make
Honestly, after awhile of playing pokemon, a masterball is useless. There are so many hard to get pokemon that adding one more or taking 1 away with the master ball is just a drop in the bucket.
Actually incorrect about the master ball in emerald: The base closes up after beating the admins in ruby/sapphire but they amended it in emerald so you wouldn’t miss your chance to get the ball. I liked using the hideout as my personal office in that game once aqua cleared out :’)
I thought of the Black Qiraji mount from Classic World of Warcraft. This riding mount was only available for a super short period of time after completing a server wide quest.
In CP2077 unless you use a game glitch you can not get the Satori Katana, Yorinobu's Outfit Pieces, Iguana Egg, Saburo's Diary, Dog Tags & the Iconic Kongou Pistol. This location is locked off after you finish the Heist and is only accessible if you glitch into the hotel later in the game.
Xenogears comes to mind. (Spoilers for Xenogears, fyi) In Disc 2, you fight Hammer, who has been fused to his Gear, and will be self-destructing after a few rounds of fighting him. The game wants you to run away, but if you stay and manage to defeat him (if he blows up and you are still in the fight, I believe you die), he will give the Trader Card, which essentially forces rare drops from enemies when equipped. Highly, highly useful.
@@Cameleonbates I’ve never seen another game item that does what this one does, and frankly, while xenogears is an absolute masterpiece of a game anyways, this item it what makes it truly stand out from the crowd. It seems such an obvious idea, but no other game I know of has something like it, and that makes it innovative. I’ve always said if I ever had a hand in making a video game, I would have an item like this in it.
Oversized writsband from Infinite Undiscovery. The battle in Sapran, has 3 Hill Gigas that have like a 5% drop rate of dropping the Oversized wristband, and you can only obtain it here. Attempting to get both the situation bonus for the Trophy, as well as the wristband, is a right nightmare.
I remember killing nahkin, It was so difficult because I am a summoner so eventually I found a way involving releasing a saved game 50+ time with perfectly placed spells and conjuration with a shout and catching the gate before closing all at the same time lol
I.ore from Breath of the Wild. This item is needed to complete the game. You need the I.ore to get the axe, and the axe is required to enter an area, yet the I.ore is located in a chest in a dungeon. If you leave the dungeon without picking it up, you cannot return for it.
I completed Witcher 3 not too long ago and, while I wasn't able to get a full set of Toussaint armor (I didn't go the fairytale route) I did find pieces and I could buy or craft the rest.
For new Skyrim players: The best weapons & enchantments you can have are always the ones you can make. Keywords: -Smithing -Alchemy -Enchanting -Restoration Go figure Have fun!
Obscure old school game. The Grandstream saga There is a sword that can only be gotten once in the game, when the main character goes under the church near the start of the game there is a sword hidden in the wall of the staircase (the stone wall) you have to use the panther eye jewel that has been in your inventory the entire time, that is the only time you can get it as once you leave you cannot ever enter that room again.
Baldur's Gate 1 gives you one shot at meeting Drizzt*. If you attack and kill him (he is much higher level) you get his special named swords. In BG2 when you meet him he has a dialogue option where you can say "didn't I already kill you last game?" Or something like that. It was pretty funny
What about White Vs Black? If I remember right on the second stage, one one day only at midnight you can summon undead Spartans from a crypt that are OP in that stage.
Also in the Witcher III: The Succubus Decoction. Okay, you have TWO shots at obtaining it, but if you spare both Succubi in the game, you're missing out on the most powerful decoction a melee-specialized witcher can brew.
Soon as I saw this video. The Master Ball from Pokémon was one of the first things I thought of. I missed it the first time because I was getting beat too much. When I went back to the game when I was a few years older. I beat anyone I could fight in the area and searched everything eventually finding that Master Ball.
Zodiac spear in original ff12 was crazy difficult you could make it despawn if you open one of like 8 specific cheats throughout the world with no warning that it is gone, and if you open the chest containing it and you have an accessory that raises chest item rarity it won't spawn, and the only other way to get it is by farming either a boss or a specific hard enemy I believe can't remember either or, and it had like a 4 percent chance of dropping. Had to restart my whole game when I found out was so many hours in
Bleak Faith has a special boss that drops a unique. You get one chance and it's quite tricky because you're timed to reach the destination and it's tight timing. If you make it you get to fight this guy and obtain his loot. I forgot what he drops but it was pretty scary lol
You can also win more Master Balls in the Pokemon lotto in Emerald as well as most if not all other games. So still hard to get, but you have more than one chance.
I do have to comment, most Pokemon games have a way to get multiple Master Balls, although it is very rare and unlikely. Most games with the Loto ID system give Master Ball as the top prize from a perfect ID match.
Neverwinter Nights 2...I didn't realize it's actually possible to completely FAIL the tutorial. The magic & roguery challenges are impossible to fail, and the archery challenge...even with 1 DEX I didn't think you could do worse than 8/10 shots which still wins. The duel, you can also re-challenge as many times as you need to win. You can miss the bonus cloak though if you don't re-challenge the duel if you lose, or if you win the duel and do 2 of the 3 other challenges and then talk to the village head to claim your win. But you can also always import your character back into a new start to get as many cups, cloaks, and +10 HP shards as you want.
How about certain items in final fantasy tactics advance? There are TONS of items you can only get by arranging the map in certain ways, something the game gives you ZERO indication of, until you come across something by accidentally putting two places hear eachother.
The one I remember most is from Mario rpg lazy shell armor and weapon. In order to get it you have to have a seed and the fertilizer. Thinking neither of them are important once you get either you're thought is to sell them. But in doing so you just sold the way to get the best weapon for mario and the best armor for anyone as you need those items for the gardener in rose Town and you can't get another
The Master Ball bit is false as you can get more Master Balls in Emerald. It’s a whole lot harder but in the first floor of the mall near the Aqua hideout, If you have a Pokémon with the same trainer ID that they have pulled out, you will win a Master Ball. Other Pokémon games follow along this like Sword and Shield
"Dark Messiah of Might and Magic" is a linar game so you pick the "Sword of the Dragonclaw" while you are in the area or its gone and its the best weapon in the game...
Lol you can definitely have more than one masterball in emerald, it's just painful cause it's literally the super mall lottery but you can get technically an infinite amount
I immediately thought of the Genji armor pieces in Final Fantasy V. You needed either a thief or someone with the Steal command in the encounters with Gilgamesh, and you had to steal them before the battle ended.
Oh god yes. And only the gloves are obtained in a mandatory boss battle, on Xezat's Fleet, while the other encounters are all optional!
And in the last one Gilgamesh is even on your side and you have to steal the armor from him before he goes kamikaze against Necrophobe
Me, I was thinking all the Genji gear from FFXII instead.
Or the Genji Armor in FFTactics
The Genji Gear in V, the Zodiac Spear in XII, the Pink Tail in IV, even the Water Rondo (a spell rather than an item) in VI. Final Fantasy loves this particular bit.
@@PKFlashOmegawell not a spell, but a dance for mog. Either way if you don’t go back and do a water level with him in the party before going to world of ruin there is no way to obtain it then.
Every time a list like this comes up, the first Surprise Box in Mario RPG should always be mentioned. You get one shot to make a jump to grab a hidden chest that you didn’t know was a thing at the beginning of the game, and missing it means you can never find every Surprise Box and complete that (otherwise meaningless) side mission.
That's the one I was going to say. Jumping off the Toad's head before he runs through the castle door.
Yeah, you either have to already personally know about that Surprise Chest yourself, or through a friend, or a Guide.
I was just thinking about that item too! Good thing the HD remake fixed that aspect of the original game so if you miss the surprise box the first time, you can go back later and get it.
It's easy to forget that being able to only go to areas in RPGs once used to be standard design.
Thank god it’s not anymore
Those were mostly in place to increase replay value on otherwise short and linear games, so playing again to find that secret you forgot was a thing. In RPGs 30~100 hours long, missing a content because you missed that hidden stone isn't so great anymore.
@@masteroak9724 I don't know where you've been but back in the day 30 hours on an rpg was considered short. I remember when Grandia 2 came out, both me and my partner were really disappointed it was incredibly short compared to 1.

Neverwinter Nights 2 was not 'D&D inspired', it *was* D&D. Neverwinter is a location in the Forgotten Realms setting, and it uses a simplified version of D&D3.5 rules.

I think we have a bunch of older ones too but I don't know how accurate the ruleset in those games was but they did use the setting.
@@Shear666 Let me reiterate: One of the first to get some initial popularity and exposure to folk whom hadn’t experienced DnD before.
If I remember correctly Akalabeth was loosely based on DnD, "took inspiration from" would be a more accurate description as it used a much simpler stat system, but that game came out in 1979, which I think is about as far back as video game RPG history goes.
You missed Nakrin's staff which is unique and challenging to get as it activates the escape portal so the only way to get it is to grab it as you fall into the exit portal.
Something I felt that should be added, in Fallout 3 when you witness your Dad succumb to the radiation inside Project Purity, you can manipulate the camera to loot him and Autumn for their unique weapons and armor. Doing this actually allows Autumn (who I’ll never understand how he survived that) to carry a second unique weapon during the last mission of the main game, which is semi pointless since the game ends right after that. (not counting the Broken Steel DLC that was added later that lets you keep going post game)
Yeah that confused me too, so I looked it up. Apparently Autumn survived by injecting himself with some kind of serum or anti-radiation medicine before passing out, possibly a more advanced or powerful form of Rad-X or RadAway developed by the Enclave. Its easy to miss since most people are more focused on their character's dad than Autumn, and nobody in the story mentions or calls attention to it either.
The Shield Weaver armor from Horizon Zero Dawn. One of the power cells you need to unlock it is inside All Mother Mountain and you only get in there twice during the game but only once after you know to look for the cells.
in my opinion is the shield weaver armour one crucial part to play the game on harder difficulties
Eh once it opens it stays open tho the second time so i dont really think thats right
Although glitching through was always an option according to memory
The Uzi's in the original Tomb Raider game. They could only be found in one specific level. And you had to make a series of jumps on invisible ledges in mid air to get to the point where you finally could grab the weapons.
Thanks for reminding me of that and the tomb raider hotline you could call to get hints and tips to beat the level. I got in so much trouble when the phone bill came in the next month.
Sounds fair 😂
Zodiac Spear in FF12 (original version) was theee most obscure weapon I’ve ever seen, almost impossible to get without a guide too! This has obviously changed in the newer version of the game
4 chests you couldnt open until late game, if i never bought the guidebook too id have never known. getting in the remake is easy peasy now.
@@aarondubois6162 super easy in the new version but they added two hard ones again, which have obscure rules to get 😂
for sure, even the alternate method had like a .1 percent chance to drop with diamond armlets, and thats after being in almost end game lol
The Skyrim mask one isn't really easy to miss. You literally HAVE to kill the dragon Priest to get his staff to open the portal, and by then its pretty clear those masks are collectible items.
true unless you are fast enough then you can go in before he takes his staff which makes it impossible
It is really that staff that is difficult to get.
@@meinebosmanah just use whirlwind sprint as soon as you’re up the staircase and then hack into Hevnoraak with everything ya got
@@kalamitylife7791 you're not even attacking the right Dragon Priest, so clearly it is difficult.
@@meinebosma you’re right about that my mistake it’s Nahkriin, but in my defense they literally do all have the same models lmao method remains the same
I immediately thought of Fallout New Vegas and the cram opener on the character Little Buster. After all the fiend leaders are defeated, Little Buster will leave. 2 days later, his corpse will be by the train tracks. If the player did not pickpocket or find his body, it will eventually despawn...
I would be interested in seeing more Rare items in other video games, perhaps even the more obscure ones...
5:30 As an Arcane Warrior, there is actually a hidden secret doorway you can interact with in one of the Ancient Elven Tombs that leads to unique fade statues with a greater bonus to the ones found earlier- Yet I've never once found a video on them
Barret's Ultimate Weapon in original FF7 was my first time experience this kind of situation I had to bail on saving and replay a late section again because if Barret isnt with you then the item box doesnt appear and you never get to return to the area, this also forces you to use Barret for a certain few bosses as a fight is right after his weapon box appearance
There is a save point right before the hojo fight so you can literally just swap him right before that fight then go back down the stairs and get Barrets weapon
@@jasoncruz3910 I think behind Marsil's point is that FF7 is a game from pre-guides online for everything days. Unless you know that you need to have Barret in your party, the section in question is one that you will blitz through relatively quickly (and most likely save very soon after), unintentionally locking yourself out of the weapon. Yes, all well and good if you've saved such that you can reload an earlier one but it's incredibly easy to miss because as was pointed out, the chest isn't there unless you've got him. It's not like a locked door where its obvious something is there.
JakeTheDude863 Exactly. You could make the same argument for most of these tbh. Nothing is technically "missable" if you can just reload a save from an earlier point. If we're going FF7, while not technically and item, Pandoras box is a once per playthrough spell. If you die to it, it won't be cast a game on the playthrough even from a prior save and if the dragon zombie runs out of mp trying to cast it, it will never do it again
@@WhatTheFirstAidSpray I was the type to try and buy the strategy back when they were plenty popular and most games had a Day 1 guide but I get his point
I can think of a item that should be on this list, the snakish sword from phantom brave. The best way to get it is to obtain a certain character in the beginning with high speed to get the sword in the weapon tutorial mission
The hidden chest in super Mario rpg. Only time you can get is in the beginning of the game BEFORE you ever know it’s there.
Even when you know where it is, it takes a lot of tries to get the timing right for it.
It gets crazier with Incitatus in Crusdaer Kings II. You can marry off Incitatus, and produce heirs. Horse-heirs. Yes, you can replace your entire faction with horses, and the Devs did plan for this.
Hell. You could say this for Legendary Pokemon in itself.
I remember the very 1st official pokemon game I got as a kid. I had no idea what I was in for because up until that point in my mind pokemon respawned. I accidently ended up KO'ing my legendary, but didnt think much of it because I was so used to pokemon respawning after some time. Nope. I lost my legendary forever because I was unwilling to restart my game and lose literally everything else I had worked up to that point.
Big oof
My first thought was the Bolt of Gransax in Elden Ring. You gotta seek it out before making it much further in the game or it becomes buried under a mountain of ash. It carried me through the second half of the game, definitely worth finding
carried is a bit much, even for the L2 stick
@@chivescat1231 don't try to tell me what my experience was, Bolt of Gransax was amazing for me, sorry you weren't using it effectively
The fade doesn't just drain your character of their life but also the players will to live
Cyberpunk 2077: If you wanted to do a Katana-build you'd better make sure you double check everything in the intro-mission where you infiltrate the Arasaka company. When you get to the top floor where you need to be you get to explore a big room, but you can't go outside on the balcony because the glass doors are shut. After you get what you need and watching a pretty long event the alarm goes off and you have to get out of there quickly while the game points you to the escape route and gives you the illusion that enemies are coming to you. What it doesn't tell you is that those glass doors to the balcony on the other side of the room are now suddenly unlocked and you can open them. If you go through them and up some stairs outside you get on top of the roof where an helicopter is with a katana inside. This katana is one of the strongest, if not THE strongest katana you can get in the game and if you miss it in this moment you'll won't be able to get it again unless doing a New Game. For the next 20-30 hours you won't get a katana even nearly as strong and people probably googled where to find a better katana after about 10 hours only to find out they missed it and have to play all over again if the want it.
Dragon age origins: no other part of the game gave you bonuses like this: so the bonuses books doesn't count?
I played a game as a kid called aero elite combat academy on the PS2. There was a feature where, randomly throughout your game, you would get a scramble alert. You had to quickly kit out an aircraft you'd unlocked, take off, chase down a target, shoot it down, and land again. If you crashed or died, you lost that plane permanently.
I vividly remember getting scrambled, grabbing my f15, and going to take off when I got buzzed by a UFO!! I had to fly as fast as I could to catch up with it, accidentally dropped my external fuel pods, and ran out of fuel before I could catch up. To this day, I can't find any video on it and nobody believes me.
So immersive
Missing out on the weaker Lynel weapons really isn't something to be too troubled over, since you can have pictures of them recorded onto the Hyrule Compendium by heading to the Hateno Ancient Tech Lab.
And not being able to take the photos myself using the kickass weapon stands in my own home?
No way in hell. That just feels dirty. I actually feel stronger about that than liberally using duplication glitches in TOTK.
And the pictures of the bosses that you can only fight once in BotW 🙃That really bugged me. I get it, they let you still complete the quest, but doing it all solo just feels more right. Once I realized I missed the lynel picture and would have to buy it, I gave up on the compendium completely. Just felt like a waste of time knowing I could just sell everything at the end and buy all the pictures.
TotK is nice, as far as I know, there's nothing "missable" for the compendium, there are areas where weaker monsters are guaranteed to appear even at endgame to get the pictures and the bosses are repeatable if you know where to look
@@triffinne The one thing that can be aggravating with Tears of the Kingdom, however, is trying to find all of the pristine weapons. And the only way to do that is to break their decayed variants, but that's only half the battle; where the pristine weapons can spawn is all location dependent.
wut. I hadn't realized that, I thought those were all random... now I have to make sure I break weapons all the time just in case
@@triffinne Yeah, if one wants to have a pristine Royal Guard's Claymore, you have to first break the decayed variant that's found in Hyrule Castle's Sanctum. And even after you do that, the pristine weapon won't spawn just anywhere in the Depths; it apparently only has a chance of spawning at the Gerudo Canyon Mine, or by the Shadow Soldier who's the closest to the Ni-iraram Lightroot (which is located below Eventide Island).
Ooh Neverwinter Nights 2. What a hidden gem of a game.
Earthbound - sword of kings, and in FFT had a few...the most annoying to get was the genji stuff from Elmdore...had to steal it from him, but he can turn you into a vampire
Just equip your team with items that prevent them becoming such. Problem solved.
@@civilwildman but regardless of vampire status, the steal success rate is low, and if you aren't leveled up or over leveled, the battle would be long and tedious.
@@civilwildman those items didn't exist other than Ribbon and a certain purse, both of which items were female-exclusive and fairly impractical. so, in order to get them from him, you have to enter the fight with sub-optimal builds while approximately half of your team or at minimum 1 member are turned into a permanent ally for elmdore.
while not important items, but important for lore, in the Trails/Kiseki series, you can find these books throughout the game but they're at very specific times and if you miss the very very small window to obtain them, they're gone forever (though you can still trigger them in the pawn shops later down the line, but that's based on RNG)
I feel like Nahkriin is kind of a poor inclusion on this list when you consider the fact that killing Nahkriin is a soft requirement of entering Sovngarde and continuing the quest, as most players likely aren't going to rush up and stop Nahkriin from disabling the portal, which then requires you to kill and loot Nahkriin to re-open it. So while it's rare in the fact you only get one chance at it, basically everyone will be able to easily acquire it unless they either rush past Nahkriin to jump into the portal before they close it, don't do the main questline, or deliberately choose not to loot the mask when looting the staff. A better example would be the unique Dragon Priest Staff that Nahkriin uses and that serves as the key to Sovngarde's portal, as the only way to get and keep it is taking extra steps to kill Nakhriin right as he takes the staff so you can loot his corpse and jump into the portal before it fully closes (as the portal remains active for a couple seconds after the staff is removed).
Cyberpunk 2077 the katana Satori and Johnny's full outfit. The katana with the right skills and upgrades will one hit most enemies as long as you aim for their heads.
The last visit to Shinra HQ in Final Fantasy 7 always screwed me over because there's two or three ultimate weapons for characters that you can't get unless you bring those exact characters on the mission. Ugh!
Lets not forget the Mysterious Magnum - Fallout New Vegas. An amazing revolver with draw/holster sound effects, but with only 1 chance to aquire it.
you can also grab Nahkriin's staff, but it has a much narrower window than the mask
I was looking for this comment. It's actually kinda ridiculous how tight the window is, it's like what? 2 seconds? Even less?
@@naiiin6949 I guess I used all my luck when i happen to catch it in my first run. Wasn´t able to get it in any other.
@@LLUstgBtl272 it doesn't really have anything to do with luck, it's just very difficult. You have to let Nahkriin take the staff from the pedestal and then kill him, loot his body and jump into the portal before it closes, which it does pretty much immediately after he takes the staff
You only have one chance to get th3 towel armor in Witcher 3: Wild Hunt. You can only get it by dropping it from your inventory during your firsr visit to the Nilfgard Palace and before you leave. Otherwise you missed it. Its not good but its unique and funny and alot of people use it for no armor hard mode runs.
My first thought was the stinkpot from borderlands 2 captain scarlet DLC, you can only get it from no-beard in the beginning of the dlc and it only a small chance for it to drop
Final Fantasy Tactics Advance, there are MANY items only available if you steal from enemies that only appear once.
I managed in one playthrough to get everything, but that was a chore, using all characters with Steal and surrounding enemies to insure i got everything.
Just use any skill that casts stop and your steal chance is 100%.
Bro, in skyrim there are a lot of more rare items than a mask that all players taken for do THE MAIN QUEST (that is the common quest). If you want an example: the jarrin root given to you from astrid; is not difficult for players (expecially for new players) to use it in the mission, so a certain part of players don't know for example they can have it and collect this unique item (unique, if u dont use glitches, bugs mods...)
There is a staff in Skyrim that you only get 1 chance to get. Can't remember the name, but I do think you have to fight a Dragon Preist to get it (don't remember though). Thing is, said boss goes through a portal where the staff is. If you go past the staff & don't select it you will miss your chance to get it. Once you see the option to pick it up, do it.
Fun fact it is nakriin his staff is far harder ro get than the mask don’t know exactly how you get it I fid a few times there’s a description how online
To correct this, the staff is Nahkriin's staff and the only way to get it is by reaching Nahkriin before he takes the staff, killing him right as he picks it up, then quickly looting his corpse and jumping into the portal in that couple second window before the portal closes.
You have like two seconds to pick the staff up after the portal opens, then you cant interact with it (I think its also correct that the dragon priest needs to die first, there was something...(maybe the portal opens when you kill the dragon priest or the staff automatically goes to the portal and opens it if you kill the priest before he opens it and thats the only way to have the 2 second timespan to pick the staff up... its been years since i did this))
I remember this staff. I got the mask and staff since I didn't want spoilers, I thought there was a full armor so I stayed in that level for far longer than needed
Atma Weapon FFIII/VI in cave after Espers are released.
Technically you can steal one from a mini boss right before the final boss but you can't go back to the world map at that point.
Thats why I'm glad you just get all the different types of Lynel respawning at set points in Tears of the Kingdom
Spotting a silver lynel and then a blue one a bit later was the biggest relief I've felt in the game so far.
The only catch is that some of the weaker Lynels will change into Silver Lynels, depending on your game progress. However, I have yet to see a single spear-wielding Silver Lynel in Tears of the Kingdom.
Yoinking the blood sword from Gafgarian was always pretty beneficial. Same with trying to steal all the genji armor off of Elmdor. The second one of these things being much harder.
The Blood sword isn’t one of a kind, though. You can get them via poaching or in the Deep Dungeon. Maybe not the most useful at that time, but they can be obtained in other ways.
There’s also a few one chance items in Cyberpunk 2077, I know of for sure a set of clothes, a sword, and a pistol that all have to be looted before the end of the Heist that sets up the entire game
Slayer Robe in Xenogears. Good luck beating Alpha Weltall in a fight that you're supposed to lose, but if you manage to win the hardest fight in the game, you get the Slayer Robe as a prize.
Interesting, I see no one mention EarthBound's Sword of Kings. The only weapon that will increase (instead of decrease) Prince Poo's Attack. You have a 1/128 chance to find one after each Starman Super you defeat, but they only appear in one place in the game, and they vanish once you've cleared it. Technically, the American manual tells you about it, but as much as people ignore manuals (like RUclipsrs embarrassingly calling Duck Hunt's controllable ducks a "secret"), you know *MANY* ppl never even know he can do better than just bare hands.
anyone remember that one frog coin in Mario RPG that you could only get by jumping off the toads head while it was running?
Since I plan on giving Dragon Age Origins another shot, I am going to save this video in case I make it far enough to use the information in it.
Good looking out. 👌🏾
I played CKII so much and I never knew about that horse!
I think it was added much later in DLC.
Star Ocean 2 The Second Story is a great classic title that belongs on this list. The entire game is designed around how specific choices you make that are as minor as speaking to a specific villager or party member at a specific time, can alter who joins your party, and what sort of items you can get. Much like how pokemon have various natures, your character can actually start with background skills that effect what combat skills or even support skills you can easily learn. My favorite one, and I may have some details wrong after all these years, is the ability to pickpocket. 95% of the time you will only get trash and basic items, maybe a few coins, but there is some of the most powerful armor in the game you can get only if you pickpocket people in once in a game timeline chance as well as all sorts of random unique items, some of which are pretty awesome.
It involves starting off with the skill dexterity. if you dont have it, restart the game till you do. Then farming lots of cash so you can afford a super expensive item thats actually skipping ahead of progression to visit the town its in because if you follow the story till you get sent there, you miss your chance. Thats how nuts it gets. And your pickpocket chance can FAIL too, so you have to grind it up to max level so it doesnt before you go for the items. It takes a lot of time and effort to do but the payoff is pretty nuts because as i said, while most of the loot is trash, some of it is unique and very powerful. There are entire guides out there spelling out how to do it all. And thats just one of the many, MANY secrets and hidden things you can do or unlock in that game.
A lot of cyberpunk stuff. Placides cleaver comes to mind
I remember missing a unique weapon on the helipad where Yorinobu lands (hotel iirc)
@@danieladams5132 you can still get back there but it’s a pain
There are Lynels that dont scale. Its only a couple for each but you can get the base lynel weapons.
There are several from Morrowind, Oblivion, and Skyrim now that I think of it.
When you teleport to Mournhold there is a quest that takes you to some huge abandoned Dwemer ruin and there was something there you can find... but once that mission ends you can't go back to get the good stuff (been so long now I cant remember what it was).
Skyrim also has a mission where you infiltrate and become a spy... it is a once only mission with no return as well.
Skyrim also has that mission where you are pulled way into the sky and given something by one of the gods....
Several like that...
Oblivion has a vampire quest that pays out a good reward... depending on a choice you make
Honestly, after awhile of playing pokemon, a masterball is useless. There are so many hard to get pokemon that adding one more or taking 1 away with the master ball is just a drop in the bucket.
Actually incorrect about the master ball in emerald: The base closes up after beating the admins in ruby/sapphire but they amended it in emerald so you wouldn’t miss your chance to get the ball. I liked using the hideout as my personal office in that game once aqua cleared out :’)
I thought of the Black Qiraji mount from Classic World of Warcraft. This riding mount was only available for a super short period of time after completing a server wide quest.
In CP2077 unless you use a game glitch you can not get the Satori Katana, Yorinobu's Outfit Pieces, Iguana Egg, Saburo's Diary, Dog Tags & the Iconic Kongou Pistol. This location is locked off after you finish the Heist and is only accessible if you glitch into the hotel later in the game.
Xenogears comes to mind. (Spoilers for Xenogears, fyi) In Disc 2, you fight Hammer, who has been fused to his Gear, and will be self-destructing after a few rounds of fighting him. The game wants you to run away, but if you stay and manage to defeat him (if he blows up and you are still in the fight, I believe you die), he will give the Trader Card, which essentially forces rare drops from enemies when equipped. Highly, highly useful.
This is what came to mind for me too. Bonus, it is the single most useful item I’ve ever seen in any game.
@@justinphillips2757 right?! About the only way to reliably get speed shoes!
@@Cameleonbates I’ve never seen another game item that does what this one does, and frankly, while xenogears is an absolute masterpiece of a game anyways, this item it what makes it truly stand out from the crowd. It seems such an obvious idea, but no other game I know of has something like it, and that makes it innovative.
I’ve always said if I ever had a hand in making a video game, I would have an item like this in it.
Oversized writsband from Infinite Undiscovery.
The battle in Sapran, has 3 Hill Gigas that have like a 5% drop rate of dropping the Oversized wristband, and you can only obtain it here.

Gran Turismo 1 had a special base model Supra RZ, it had less weight and you could get it only by racing not buying

I.ore from Breath of the Wild. This item is needed to complete the game. You need the I.ore to get the axe, and the axe is required to enter an area, yet the I.ore is located in a chest in a dungeon. If you leave the dungeon without picking it up, you cannot return for it.
I completed Witcher 3 not too long ago and, while I wasn't able to get a full set of Toussaint armor (I didn't go the fairytale route) I did find pieces and I could buy or craft the rest.

Zodiac spear in original ff12 was crazy difficult you could make it despawn if you open one of like 8 specific cheats throughout the world with no warning that it is gone, and if you open the chest containing it and you have an accessory that raises chest item rarity it won't spawn, and the only other way to get it is by farming either a boss or a specific hard enemy I believe can't remember either or, and it had like a 4 percent chance of dropping. Had to restart my whole game when I found out was so many hours in
Thumbnail gave me flashbacks to wearing 15 entire sets of armor at once and all dragon priest masks at once. Good times, but not for stealth.
Bleak Faith has a special boss that drops a unique. You get one chance and it's quite tricky because you're timed to reach the destination and it's tight timing. If you make it you get to fight this guy and obtain his loot. I forgot what he drops but it was pretty scary lol
You can also win more Master Balls in the Pokemon lotto in Emerald as well as most if not all other games. So still hard to get, but you have more than one chance.
I do have to comment, most Pokemon games have a way to get multiple Master Balls, although it is very rare and unlikely. Most games with the Loto ID system give Master Ball as the top prize from a perfect ID match.
There's another rare item in RDR2 - The rare shotgun. You only get one chance to kill the dude at his homestead.

The magic & roguery challenges are impossible to fail, and the archery challenge...even with 1 DEX I didn't think you could do worse than 8/10 shots which still wins. The duel, you can also re-challenge as many times as you need to win. You can miss the bonus cloak though if you don't re-challenge the duel if you lose, or if you win the duel and do 2 of the 3 other challenges and then talk to the village head to claim your win.

How about certain items in final fantasy tactics advance? There are TONS of items you can only get by arranging the map in certain ways, something the game gives you ZERO indication of, until you come across something by accidentally putting two places hear eachother.
you can get all lynel weapons after the next variant starts spawning as their are lynels guaranteed to be a lower version
The one I remember most is from Mario rpg lazy shell armor and weapon. In order to get it you have to have a seed and the fertilizer. Thinking neither of them are important once you get either you're thought is to sell them. But in doing so you just sold the way to get the best weapon for mario and the best armor for anyone as you need those items for the gardener in rose Town and you can't get another

The Master Ball bit is false as you can get more Master Balls in Emerald. It’s a whole lot harder but in the first floor of the mall near the Aqua hideout, If you have a Pokémon with the same trainer ID that they have pulled out, you will win a Master Ball.
