Just yesterday, I looked up a guide to get to the DLC for Dark Souls Remastered. I'm always amazed by how the guide writers actually found all this stuff because even if I did do it on my own it would've been completely by accident and I would have no idea how to explain it to another person.
Not levels but some secrets and bosses (esp. those you wouldn't know if not for trophies): 1. Batman Arkham Series: Asylum and City, both had some secret areas that revealed the sequel's area or antagonist. You can find a hidden room in Warden's office in Asylum by sticking 3 explosive gels on a certain wall. The hidden room contains plans and info about City. And in City, you can find a boat that you unlock using the keyword 'City of Terror' that reveals the main antagonist of Knight. Iirc, the Asylum secret was so well hidden that no one found it and the devs themselves had to reveal it when City was released. 2. The Dahaka from Prince of Persia Warrior Within: I had played this game multiple times and always thought Kaileena was the final boss. It was only when I played this on PS3 and found out there was a trophy that I realized you could fight the Dahaka to get the true ending. Took me some time to gather the courage to face him though. 3. Lavenza and/or the Twins from Persona 5 Royal: The OG P5 had a trophy for defeating the twins but for those who played P5R, you could easily finish and plat the game without even knowing that you can fight them. You can only fight them in NG+, and while the twins' battle happens pretty early on in the game, for Lavenza you need to reach the final act of the game. 4. The Muses keys and room in God of War 1: There's a room in Pandora's temple that gives you permanent health and magic boost and lots and lots of red orbs (XP). To unlock it you need to find two muse keys and they are very well hidden, and then to find the room you need to keep rotating the temple, skipping the door to the next main area, until finally a secret passage is revealed with the muse door at the end.
Secret levels like secret bosses are a real challenge to find and sometimes even more challenging to complete. I tend to get fulfilment of finding these secrets but then get a bit of rage if I have trouble completing them at the same time.
I never knew the Insomniac Museum existed until i stumbled upon one by complete accident in A Crack in Time. but having to go to a specific place at a specific time is something no one would really find out manually
I must have unlocked the high school level without realizing it as I used Xiaoyu all the time in Tekken 3. I remember I got good with her by practicing against a max difficulty Heihachi until I could reliably deal decent damage back to him. Everything else was a piece of cake after that. And I remember being genuinely surprised when the carriage showed up to take me to Cainhurst Castle in Bloodbourne.
I'm replaying The Quarry for the second time and I checked a guide for a third time only to find out that you can't get all collectables and tarot cards in the same play! With the Hive I ended up stumbling on it after playing for ages and then I still got stuck on the boss rush part of the game.
I accidentally discovered the Bloodborne one on my own. I had gotten the letter just by running all over those woods because after the boss I didn't want to go back there. Once I had it though I had no idea where to go until I went back to the witches area for an item in the cell which I used a guide to find. Decided to see if there were any other goodies I had left & boom off to my favorite area of the game. So thanks my exploration nature
The final persona & the twin wardens secret boss battle in Persona 5. How the hell are you supposed to know that these are exclusively in New Game + without a guide's aid?!
Ardent Blossom in Dragon Age Inquisition. Enough said. The steps to find that helmet are so ridiculous it makes me wonder how the first person even found it.
Had to Google it because I think I only ever did it once to see what it gives me... Not worth it in my opinion. However, I love the idea of jumping on someone's house just for a flower helmet!
@@Biowoman. I get you. I'm like that as well, but the quest only pops up if you know about it, right? Haven't done it in ages. So if it doesn't appear in my journal, and I don't do research to see if I completed all quests before the endgame, then I can ignore it😉😏.
The Forgotten One in Castlevania Lament of Innocence on PS2. I knew it existed because they showed it in the commercial for the game and it looked insane. After I beat the game I realized I never fought the giant red demon they advertised. So went to gamefaq to look up how to find the level.
Ugh Hollow Knight i had practically finished the game before I found out about the Hive I only learned of it due to hunting the final grub I also didnt know about the white palace a level I have no intention of ever playing.
Usually miss the obvious 😂, then stumbel (or painfully fall!) in a hole by accident and find the secret 😓. Still i enjoy exploring even if i miss the best... so if possible no guides for me (and still we all use it sooner or later 🤫)
Sekiro - Fountainhead Palace surely the most beautiful secret level. Arcade Paradise- games within a game - if you get far enough in knuckle and knees there is an arcade with 4 tiny arcade machines with 4 tiny games all playable with hi scores.
The very first game I had.. Alex Kidd in Miracle World..Sega Master System. First or second underwater part. There's a particular octopus you need to defeat. Use the invincibility item and punch the base of its tentacle until it poofs in defeat, then enter the pot it sits in. Leads to a secret maze.
Wow, I somehow unlocked the high school arena in Tekken 3 all on my own. I remember playing Tekken 3 like crazy back in the day. Beat the game with every character multiple times, and at some point during all that gaming, I must have unlocked the high school arena without realizing how. One time where I definitely needed a guide was when I got all the life upgrades in Prince of Persia: Warrior Within so I could get the Water Sword and fight the Dahaka at the end, which allowed you to see the true ending for the game. Finding one of the later life upgrades without a guide is freakin' impossible given all the backtracking you have to do through older sections of the game while also going through multiple time portals to jump between the past and the present.
For Castle Cainhurst, I didn't have a guide in the sense that's discussed here, but I did have a guide in the form of players who were already in the know guiding me to the secret areas necessary to obtain the Cainhurst summons. Without those helpful messenger messages, I'd have overlooked the path in the Forbidden Wooda entirely.
I'm gonna add a bonus to my last and say the 70's level from Skullmonkeys. Its pretty obvious, just get all the 1970's icons spread through the prior levels, but come on those things are crazy hidden. Also the first secret one.
I’m confident that people play Dark Souls with a guide. The trophy for beating Priscilla is actually quite common, and there is ABSOLUTELY no way, you can reach the Painted World wuthout a guide.
I accidentally found bloodbornes and dark soul's entry without a guide. I spent a really, really long time searching undead berg and beyond before anor londo and stumbled across it
The crash 3 part is like real life, Your to good, you miss the game for what it is Your to bad, you get nowhere Only the rarest of people can be in the middle
I managed the Tekken 3 and Bloodborne ones without help or hints. My older brother mained Both those characters in Tekken and we’d play over 100 matches on some evenings. I miss unlocking things just by playing them.
The Crash secret is just bad design. Why would you ever get grabbed by an enemy on purpose when in every other instance that would kill you.? That's just punishing.
I found the beehive without a guide. Granted, it was long after I beat the (true) final boss, and it was practically the very last zone I found, but I did find it, like everything else in Hollow Knight, without a guide.
Imo Arch Dragon Peak is the hardest FromSoft area to get to if you don't have a guide. Maybe just me though. There are clues but they are pretty subtle.
No mention of the Village of the Albinaurics from Elden Ring? This creepy place requires the players to take a detour to the south-western shores of Liurnia of the Lakes & find a slope in a very dark area of the game. Safe to say I didn't find this one without help from a guide especially given how dark it was & how I didn't know it was in the area until the game told me I was
I did the painted world in Dark Souls accidently. I saw the platform while going up the elevator and tried 4 or 5 times to jump to the building. To be fair, there were are bunch of messages on the ground telling me to jump and I could see a few higher up, so I knew I could climb up there
Finding Cainhurst, the best level in Bloodborne, without a guide? Not too much of a problem. Finding how to access the Bloodborne dlc on the other hand? Thank all that's holy for guides!
The streets of rage 4 secret boss fights I literally figured it out completely by accident just exploring everything in levels just sort of back into it 😂😂
The secret area I discovered without a guide that surprised me the most had to be while playing God of War(2018) on a thursday with the hardest difficulty, pressing L1, R1, R2, L1, Select, then Start and running in circles at the beginning of the game until Kratos falls over, passes out, and wakes up in the original God of War(2002), which was surprising only because I'm making this up and a throw back level, it doesn't exist in the game, please don't go looking for it.
I played bloodborne with out a guide found cairnhurst on my own. The one that annoyed me was the 3 endings. I had the umbilical cord but didnt eat them before the last boss fight revealing the moon presence secret boss. I beat gerhman on my first go that was my ending. I later watched a RUclips video of a guy saving the game on ex drive then getting the 2 endings for the platinum. They're the 2 trophies I need to play and just haven't gone back for it.
Which devilishly well-hidden secret levels did you uncover with the help of a guide? Let us know!
The second hirata estate memory in sekiro, how anyone found out about that without knowing beforehand fully astounds me
Almost the entirety of Tales of Vesperia sidequests
I found the retro levels in SOR4 sans guide. 🤘
Rosie's Crash section was great! Is that a little foreshadowing of Winner Plays On??

Not seen a 7 in awhile. So glad they’re still alive.
Can’t tell if this is sarcastic
@@bobidybilly not at all. I’ve been watching the channel for actual years. Genuinely my favourite show to watch is the 7. Used to wait for it 😁
Same. Channel has changed a lot. I miss the solo Rob Friday Feature. So. Very. Much.
@@davidcea8686 I litterly just came back to the channel after not watching forever looking for the same thing. Very sad day

Can't think of a better way to spend my birthday than with the Access crew :)
Happy birthday, James! Hope you're having a great day :)

Happy birthday James 🎂 🥳 🎉

With the Hive I ended up stumbling on it after playing for ages and then I still got stuck on the boss rush part of the game.
I tend to use a guide due to the fact that my brain wants to make sure I didn't miss anything, and it yells at me if it thinks I missed something.
Starting to think the British hold the monopoly on gaming lists lol
The mohgwyn palace and the haligtree from Elden Ring
Tate Toys “R” Us in the US went bankrupt and doesn’t exist anymore so this might actually be easier to get the doll then finding a Toys “R” Us at all

I love Cainhurst and still today one of my proudest gaming accomplishments was beating Martyr Logarius on my first attempt
Rosie sounds like an Apprentice Robert S Pearson
Man I miss playing tekken 3. It was so much fun.
I’d love to see you guys mention syphon filter or even tenchu in a video which I’m sure you have
Shufflying deserved a small applause
Or a celebratory flutter of wings
Yes, Streets of Rage 4! What I wouldn't give to see a co-op Rob and Dave playthrough of that.
Cainhurst is the best area in the whole game
That Crash Bandicoot crown doesn’t actually belong to anyone in this video. Rosie borrowed it from her brother.
Thus why guide makers are awesome! Thank you, hard working people! ❤️
The final persona & the twin wardens secret boss battle in Persona 5.
