    Just for comparison, these are how many players got platinum on some of the hardest roguelikes, according to PSNProfiles:
    - Crypt of the Necrodancer (0.08%)
    - Downwell (2.25%)
    - Darkest Dungeon (2.49%)
    - Binding of Isaac (2.93%)
    - Slay the Spire (3.57%)
    - Enter the Dungeon (3.71%)
    - Spelunky 2 (3.82%)
    - Dead Cells (4.41%)
    I looked at several other hard games platinum rate, Super Meat Boy (0.39%) and Tetris Effect (0.54%) were the lowest ones I've found. So Crypt of the Necrodancer difficulty is truly insane.

      Honestly platinum percentage really doesn't represent a game's difficulty that well, there's a roguelite game called descenders that sits at 1.20% platinum earn rate while still being easier than any of the games you have listed, anyway CoTND is definetly the hardest platinum obtainable in PSN

However, I eventually realized that I was down to the last free summer of my life because I was going off to college and had a future summer internship. I had to quit because I realized that Crypt of the Necrodancer was my only hobby, and it was consuming all of my free time.

Too much time and effort was needed when I just didn’t have the time. I got 48% of the trophies so I’m happy with it and really enjoyed the game

  • @artstsym
    @artstsym Месяц назад +33

    Some additional Aria context:
    Beating the game on an all zones run is honestly easier than a single zone at a time once you know what you’re doing, because the later zones have very difficult patterns to track and trying to take them on without the reach or damage bonus you get from stocking up on items in the early areas is brutal.
    Aria starts in the last zone and works her way up.
    Not only that, but because she, Melody, and Cadence are the primary story characters, they each have their own unique final boss, and Aria’s is a disjointed hitbox mess (an intentional mess, but still).

    Necrodancer used to be a favorite game of mine, it's incredibly creative, the story is engaging to hell and back, and you can just get so much fun out of it, but the achievements always stuck out to me as something that dragged the game down, so many of them feel so incredibly painful instead of fun, so when I reached my limit to what I felt I was able to do, it didn't feel so much as I'd done a lot with the game, it just felt like I was being cut short because the devs pursued absurd difficulty over interesting fun, Aria was my breaking point, I killed the Lute and I'm probably never touching the game again, bad achievement design aside, I don't regret playing this game, it was fun, I still listen to the incredible music time to time, and Melody will always be a favorite character of mine

      @BigPapaSam96 Just watch alot of videos and read guides since there are some good ones out there. I feel like figuring out some of the boss quick kills and some boss strats in this game by yourself is almost impossible.
      This next one might not be great for a new starter, but don't always think you have to jump to the beat, you can stand still and let enemies come to you. You will lose your multiplier though, which I don't recommend when you first start playing unless you get geared up quickly and can afford to lose it. When you get to dorian, I recommend just doing this strat though, since jumping to the beat and fighting off enemies would be tough to control since he jumps 2 tiles at once.
      And obviously, just be willing to put the time in to get better, you gotta learn lots of different enemies and know how they move and attack, it really does come with time. But eventually you'll just get comfortable with it and will just panic less. Just start with bard and it might help give you time to learn since you have no beat to jump to.

    I got into speedrunning and racing this game with the amplified DLC on PC. I was one of the top runners of the game. I also dabbled with highscore runs briefly (although I say briefly, bard and consequently all character score runs are quite insane, and i spent a few hundred hours learning the intricacies there). I quite liked all character speedruns as it most rewarded consistently being fast, with the goal being to get under an hour for the 9 characters. I even dabbled in coda and got a clear there. I got over 3000 hours in the game before I got sick of it and quit (mostly down to the RNG in getting a "good" run when a good run gets below 7 or even 6 minutes).
    I never achieved lowest of the low. Doing a monk low% run, an aria low% run and a bolt low% back to back was too hard and draining, let alone the other six characters after that.
    Also fun fact - Coda got added to the game because the developer wanted an impossible character and aria wasn't hard enough. Turns out Coda isn't impossible either.

    the thing that makes this game so hard is that it's a traditional classic roguelike, enemies move when you do, randomized maps and items, etc but with the twist that you don't have infinite time to plan your moves. You're locked into the beat of the music. So now you're juggling the traditional things you would normally have to juggle when playing a roguelike all while maintaining the perfect rhythm required of you by this particular game. To top this all off, it's super easy to get yourself into a position where no matter where you try to move or what you do, you're going to take a hit. This is easier to avoid when you have all the time in the world to plan your steps, but juggling that memory challenge of attack patterns with staying on beat... yeah, not many will succeed at this challenge... heck, I haven't even won a run myself... but it's still fun to try :)

    Hey, amazing video! :D I really enjoyed how you summarized every little bit that makes Crypt's platinum so unsufferable! From my own experience (584 hours), the plat certainly is doable if you spend A LOT of your game time on it. It's such a huge commitment, while going for Coda I couldn't even think of other games for like 6 months straight, until the stars aligned for that one run (fun times, i still remember the day I popped off and it's been 2 years...) and not long after beating Coda my d-pad actually broke so technically this game cost me a controller 💀)
    But as Slim and Wizolo stated, Crypt remains a fun experience overall, there's a lot of depth to the learning curve and thx to each character's mechanics, the game doesn't feel stale even if the base formula can prove to be quite repetitive at times (*cough* low% *cough*). I get why the struggle of going for the plat might not be worth it in the end... XD
    This video gave me back the energy to grind Lowest 😂 however I still wonder how the Synchrony DLC may affect the trophies with the ability to savescum (though I'm not sure if this is actually true...)

Anyone who did this is a legend and has the patience of a literal saint. This game is incredible from all aspects and the plat is absolute insanity... Coda is bad enough but lowest of the low is just a joke lol. Still one of the hardest plats if not THE hardest plat to date. The ps trophy stats are so high as there are a ton of hackers ( what you saw about them was very much sadly true ), on PSNP you can see them pop up a lot but they get removed in a day or so. Also great vid man, very well put together.

    nice video good stuff bringing people that are insane in the game to talk little bit about it, im going for this platinum, but kinda bored of doing all low %, i think im about a 1/3 of learning coda most of the time losing for hesitation.
    small question, for this platinum you dont need dlc?

    • @RichFakh
      @RichFakh  5 месяцев назад

      Hey, thanks so much for the lovely comment =)
      From what I understand, you can totally do the platinum without the DLC, but the DLC comes with items that make it much easier to beat the coda run. There's a ring that lets you phase through walls which makes everything A LOT simpler.
      Hope that helps and good luck on your hunt for the platinum trophy!

    I played the Steam version. I wanted to get all achievements but i didn't expected it will be that hard. The most i did is completing all zones with Aria without picking up items (low%) and even this one thing took me a few dozens of hours. When i started playing as bolt, my motivations went down (I really didn't liked this character) and i knew that there's a secret character that's like Bilt, Aria and Monk. I completed the all zones run with bolt too but didn't managed to get all chars run. So yeah, even for a completionist that can play this game for a lot time, it's a nightmare

    It's very weird to focus on PS trophies alone, most of the community plays on steam and stuff. Also some things you said are a bit weird, like Allchars (commonly known as 9char) taking 4 or more hours, a normal, non-speedrun time for each character is about just below 20 minutes, and because there are 4 fast characters in 9char (Bolt, Dorian, Melody and Bard) generally first clear is about 2.5 hours.

    • @mehdotmeh

      I disagree, I have always seen achievements as an official recognizing of those crazy optional challenges some of us liked to do, like minimalist runs such as mega man with no upgrades and zelda with 3 hearts, but since achievement hunting became a thing a lot of the games started using them as just a progress completion chart, a lot of games having mostly automatic achievements for just beating the game normally, so I really like when a game actually uses them to track proper challenges, and the fact that it's a roguelike doing it just makes sense
