HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 25 июл 2024
- These video game levels bring immense frustration more than any others. For this list, we’ll be looking at stages from games that bring an unfair level of difficulty or tedium. We won’t be including levels from bad games, since the whole experience is frustrating, or levels that only consist of a boss fight. Our countdown of the most frustrating video game levels includes Blighttown from “Dark Souls” (2011), The Great Bay Temple from “The Legend of Zelda: Majora’s Mask” (2000), Farewell from “Celeste” (2018), The Library from “Halo: Combat Evolved” (2001), and more! Which of these levels made you want to scream in anger? Share your thoughts in the comments.

The hidden levels from Tropical Freeze (2014)
The maze fortress and the flying tanks (you need a P-wing) world 8 in Super Mario Bros 3 and Tubular and Lake Soda in Super Mario World 😮
I hate both Great bay and the water temple.
The bots come back after I report them. WHY CAN'T I REPORT THEM JUST FOR BEING A BOT?!
I report u 🍌
The "help desk" is also a bot, you're reporting the problem to its source.

Cuz u dumb
The Crash Bandicoot bridge stages not making it is criminal
Same
I was expecting It tò be Number 1
Fun fact: Through the Fire and Flames cheats. At least some of the riffs you play are actually keyboard parts. Even without them, though, Herman Li is a shredding machine only Asia can produce.
Watchmojo: top 20 frustrating video game levels.
Me: and yet Rusty Bucket Bay from Banjo and Kazooi is not on this list.
The water is polluted so you’ll drown even if Banjo’s head is above water, there are hidden rooms on the ship that blend well with the rest of the ship so you’ll end up attacking every window or wall, and the dreaded Engine Room.
Kid Chameleon's "The Final Marathon" is one of the most frustrating levels in video game history in one of the hardest games in video game history.
i love the ashley section in RE4. It's only a few minutes long if you know what you're doing. Dodging the armour qte's isnt great but the slide puzzle might be my favourite in the game. Solving it the first time and having the armour chase you was terrifying.
19. I personally have a bigger bone to pick with The Gutter from Dark Souls 2. This is what happens when you combine the maze-like structure of Upper Blighttown with the pitch-black darkness of the Tomb of the Giants. It's way too easy to get lost without lighting all the torches or without a guide.
14. I only know of slaloms via Nintendogs.
3. AKA THAT DAMN LEVEL!
1. It gets worse, in level 11, The Clinger Winger, there's a glitch where player 2 can't move at all. Meaning you have to get a game over and let player 1 continue, ALONE. Thankfully this was fixed in Rare Replay.
The "I just can't wait to be king" level in "The Lion King" was hard for me, too, when I was little.
Be prepared was even more difficult. There were so many ways to die in 1 hit and you only had so many chances before you had to start from the beginning.
To be honest here I recently played resident evil 4 for the first time and doing ashelys level wasn't that bad for me I just kept dodging them until they were far away to do those cranks and I didn't even know u could even use things to harm them that would have been helpful to know instead of running around like an idiot
3:28 this stage had a lot of sibling fights and broke tons of friendships.
The Driver tutorial comes up a lot. I had trouble with it too as a kid, but every mission has a dev replay you can watch. This shows you the best way to check off all the tasks. It was pretty easy after that.
Call of duty 4 modern warfare had 3 levels which made me rip my balls out while playing on veteran. One is the level where the jets bombard and u have to extract out of the farmhouse in 2 mins 30 seconds flat, the 2nd one is the follow up mission to all ghillied up where u literally take on a million enemies with a country full supply of grenades to survive 8 whole minutes and finally the epilogue plane mission. God damn did I hated the epilogue mission. It's impossible unless u input precisely down to the millisecond.
Many of the dungeons in Phantasy Star II are nightmares to navigate, especially on account of their labyrinthine design and the game's high random encounter rate. The most infamous example is probably Ikuto, which has a series of pits you need to drop through on each floor, and you'll only discover the correct pits to take through a ton of trial and error.
Clinger winger is ALOT harder than turbo tunnel in Battletoads. Don't worry about crashing, it's the fact that you have to memorize an entire level with no checkpoints, and push the right directional button at the right time to ride away from a glowing circle (whatever the hell that's called) or else it will catch and kill you!
Dishonorable Mentions:
*Eggmanland - Sonic Unleashed
-This is not only the longest level in the series, it's also among the hardest.
*Temple of the Ocean King - The Legend Of Zelda: Phantom Hourglass
-Even the worst dungeons in Zelda have one mitigating factor: You only have to do them once (twice at most). The Temple of the Ocean King from Phantom Hourglass meanwhile requires you to clear it 5-6 TIMES EVERY PLAYTHROUGH! Talk about a way to overstay your welcome.
But that's just the tip of the iceberg. The place is designed to suck the life out of you, meaning you're on a time limit (which is upgradeable via the Phantom Hourglass), the puzzles reset every time you leave, there are arbitrary stealth segments with insta-kill enemies, the dungeon fuses a bunch of smaller problems into a chimera of tedium and frustration.
*The Gutter - Dark Souls 2
-While The Frigid Outskirts in the Ivory King DLC deserves a mention, I have a bigger bone to pick with The Gutter. This is what happens when you combine the maze-like structure of Upper Blighttown with the pitch-black darkness of the Tomb of the Giants. It's way too easy to get lost without lighting all the torches or without a guide.
*Cortex Castle - Crash Bandicoot 4: It's About Time
-While ALL the levels in the final world are hard, getting the flashback tape in this level is going to give you an aneurysm.
the Temple is probably why I never finished it and possibly how you have to use the touch screen to move (like I get they wanted to have that gimmick but some do prefer using the classic button controls)
I love the Great Bay Temple. I found the Snowhead temple far more frustrating in Majora's Mask.
That ninja turtles level was so difficult when I was 2 years old. It still haunts me today 😂
Wouldnt all video games be difficult when you were 2 years old? Also how do you remember when you were 2?
I beat Resident Evil 4 way back, so I got through the Ashely sections. So ditto for Majora's Mask and, by extension, the Great Bay Temple. If the Game Gear version of Ecco the Dolphin counts, then I've also beaten Welcome to the Machine at least twice.
Rwice you mean twice
@@zoltankarman7123 Fixed, and thanks for pointing that out.
@@Falchion1984 You're very welcome
@@zoltankarman7123 That "Your" should be "You're". There, favor returned. You beaten any of these levels, by the way?
@@Falchion1984as if I could because my mental retardion these type of game just gonna make really angry and frustrated so am not good these type of game am just playing jrgp game made by nihom falcom called the legend of heroes trails of series
awesome job about The Most FRAUSTRATING Video Game Levels from Top 20
There is only one way to describe “That Damn Level!” “DAMN!!!!!!!!!!!!”
Aztec is so goddamn difficult.
I've been trying for years to beat it on 00 Agent difficulty! The lasers are OP once you kill Jaws, and those guards keep coming!
In my personal opinion, I think the Control mission on 00 Agent difficulty is more grueling. The obvious reason is when you have to protect Natalya, when she tries to disable the Goldeneye Satellite. It took me many years, and countless times to the point where I wanted to tear my hair out. It felt so satisfying to finally succeed. I felt much better doing it again on the Switch.
you forgot the Impossible Lair, along with Fluff Puff Peaks Special from Super Mario Bros. Wonder
That mission was easy in Vice City... still have that game to this day. Just fly into them with the blades to weed out the ones that are causing the most trouble, done. Cake.
I'm not good at GTA at all and I managed to beat that mission on the first try somehow...if any GTA mission belongs here it's that infamous train mission from San Andreas
That first Driver level had me pulling my hair out by the roots, because of that stupid "Slalom" move, which I never learned to do!!!
You forgot to mention that the framerate is horrible in blighttown in the original release
Glad to see Great Bay Temple get some well deserved hate. I dont dislike it but holy shit it is my least favorite. Not just the temple, but everyrhing leading up to it to become available is just a drag.
It took me so many tries to finally beat the tutorial of Driver. I remember being so happy when I finally got it. The rest of the game was really fun, so it was well worth the effort.
I'd also like to throw in three Super Monkey Ball series levels: Master 3 and 9 (Stamina Master and Bridge Master in DX) from SMB1, and Helix from SMB2. These levels are literal hell, especially for anyone who's still embracing the game
I will happily navigate Blighttown then to EVER step foot inside The Tomb of the Giants again!! Bligjttown may be bigger but you can’t see NOTHING in TOT Giants. Stupid lamp to help or joining a covenant… the ones who played know exactly what I mean 😤 #Triggered
I stopped playing Dark Souls Remastered once I got to Tomb of the Giants AND The Archives 😂
@@yoshigba2749 The Archives... ugh... MAN what a great game to love/hate 😂
Of the levels that I played, the Dam from TMNT was the only one I couldn't legitimately beat.
Very happy when I beat Aztec on 00 Agent.
Oh I remember the great maze portion of the subspace emissary. It took forever.
one of the developers of the original Halo is on record saying that the Library level was way too long, it should have been just one floor.
(1/4 as long)
The PTSD I have from these levels....😳🤣
I feel like I'm the only person that likes SSBB's Great Maze, lol. Most of the other Subspace Emissary levels feel too short, but I love getting 'lost' in the maze for a nice long time fighting off all the enemies.
I’m glad the remake of resident evil 4 made Ashley’s section better by giving her a lantern to defend herself and the puzzles easier to solve
No path of pain?
i don't know how but chemical plant zone for me is just so infuriating. i just can't get past the flooding part with the moving bricks
I was thinking Goldeneye, but the Jungle level where you have to protect Natalya. Another one is Timesplitters 2 the level Neotokyo.
One of the most frustrating levels I ever played was at the end of Mario Galaxy. I think you were running around on top of a giant flat Luigi and trying to get coins. It was a nightmare.
Driver tutorial level never got passed it. Supply lines was always borderline impossible.
Blighttown was hard the first time I played Dark Souls because I went into Blighttown through the Depths. If you use the Master Key to go into Blighttown through the Valley of the Drakes, Blighttown is really short and easy.
Through The Fire And Flames only took me a single try to complete on the Xbox version, and only a handful to 5-star! The fight against Inner Agent 3 in Splatoon 2's Octo Expansion, however, took me an hour and a half across 3 separate sittings.
That level in Lion King was and probably still is my favorite level in any game. Even as a kind I never struggled with it so I don’t think it’s appropriate for this list.
I came here expecting Turbo Tunnel to make the list. I was not disappointed.
You forgot to mention blighttowns hardest enemy from back in the 360 and ps3 days. The 10fps when you were in combat in the swamps…
Through Fire and Flames shouldn't be on here, simply because you can significantly lower the difficulty of the song, differentiating it from the other games on this list. On easy and medium only the song's length is an issue.
You just know the turbo tunnel was gonna be number 1!
All of Tomb Raider 3 lol. I love that game but oh boy it almost had ten year old me break my ps1 controller.
That stupid vice city mission made me quit the game for good
You do know that you can take out all of the guys before you pick up the first bomb right
You could fit half of the levels in Contra 4 in this list.
Even as a kid, I never had issues with the Dam and can't wait to be king. The "puzzle" is fairly obvious
No Palace of the Dead from Tactics Ogre? 100 floors of undead enemies, poisoned floors, narrow walkways your characters can fall off of... I'd argue it earns a place on another Frustrating Levels list.
Meh reborn just spam lobber bombs to dummy charging AI and I’m thankful for rewind turns though CODA forces several battles for decisions like saving Kachua
I'm kinda shocked The Crystal Tower from Final Fantasy III isn't part of this. Even the DS version is a pain in the ass.
I got past that about a week ago though was doing the pixel remaster and did grind up quite a bit
Hey, what about Mummy Me Maze Forever from Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker? This insane level is 1000 times harder than the Perfect Run from SMG 2. It has 50 floor with random position.
Top 20 video game weapons
hot take: the final boss fight with Lou is way more frustrating than TTF&F. also, that train mission from San Andreas should be here instead of Demolition Man IMO
also:
Temple of the Ocean King ( Phantom Hourglass )
the Miles & MJ stealth missions ( Marvel's Spider-Man and Marvel's Spider-Man 2 )
Screwball missions ( Marvel's Spider-Man )
the last few levels ( De Blob 2 )
Shangri-La ( Far Cry 4 )
that damn pachinko machine ( Super Mario Sunshine )
This list has been done to death all over YT
Meat circus it wasn’t that bad but milkman conspiracy level can burn in hell of how annoying that level was is big wild goose chase
I can forgive Rayman's first music level not being on the list. I get it. No one wants to remember that. I slapped the tv so hard it left a print on the screen. One of those 90 tvs, cubic ones with the solid thick glass. Didnt even feel the pain for how pissed I was.
I hope a Tropical Freeze level appears, those were hard ones or better yet another Donkey Kong game as well
Rocket Rails in Tropical Freeze was completely insane, and Crazy Clouds wasn't far behind
@@michaelcamp4990 the secret levels you get for finding the KONG letters are a pain in the ass
@@Dupontman627 yeah I know, beating all of the KONG levels unlocks the secret world, which is even more difficult. Crazy Clouds is the last level in the game and it's a complete nightmare
Demolition man isn't difficult. You need patience.
Yeah people always list it but I’ve legit never had much struggle with it.
Super Mario Galaxy 1 and 2 are the greatest games ever in history in my opinion and my favourite Nintendo games of all time from my childhood. The Perfect Run in Super mario Galaxy 2 is really hard Galaxy/Course, I can so agree it. Super Mario Galaxy is in Super Mario 3D All Stars so I really hope to see Super Mario Galaxy 2 Nintendo Switch port/remake plz Nintendo hear my wishes. SUPER MARIO GALAXY WAHOO! 🌌
for the benefit of anyone unfamiliar with Malenia from Elden Ring:
she has several absurdly nasty attacks, and the worst is the "waterfowl dance", where she floats up into the air for a second or to, then zooms toward you and repeatedly slashes super-fast...and repeats this three times!
the only way to avoid dying is to run like heck as soon as she starts floating, and even that is not very reliable.
AND, much MUCH worse is the way she RECOVERS HEALTH EVERY TIME SHE HITS YOU WITH *ANY* OF HER ATTACKS!
with most bosses, summoning a helpful character is a good idea, but not with HER, because he can recover health by attacking your helper!
i refuse to replay darks souls 1-3 because of blightown and especially the gutter from ds2 oh my gosh these were nightmares for my life
The Labyrinth Zone from Sonic makes me rage quit all the time.
Dark Souls 2's shrine of amana was sooo much worse than Blighttown for me haha
That was the sole area in the series where I had to resort to archery to succeed. I'd just take down enemies from a distance, so I wouldn't have to deal with the mages head-on. It reduced the frustration but was tedious to say the least.
Why wasn't King Fortress 2 stage from Mega Man and Bass not on the list?
5:19 I’m surprised that the “water room” or whatever it’s called, isn’t in this place. People who know, KNOW what I’m talking about
The impossible pack in New Super Mario Bros 2. Never managed to beat any of the levels.
While frustrating the library is still one of my ce levels in halo
Phazon Mines from Metroid Prime should be on here
I also disagree with Great Bay Temple as a choice. The Zora swimming to me is a joy and one of the best implementations of swimming in a video game; the inertia and sense of kinesis are fantastic. The level makes sense very quickly once you understand the color coded pipes.
Imo the 3DS remake is really frustrating with the terrible changes to the controls and boss fight.
People are always complaining about the Parking Garage Tutorial in Driver despite the fact that it isn't as nearly as hard as they want others to think it is. It's really easy if you it's not your first video game.
I’m surprised that the “water room” or whatever it’s called, isn’t in this place. People who know, KNOW what I’m talking about
There’s a level in super Mario sunshine where you’re completely dependent on the throwing pianta ppl - so cursed never beat it and deserves an honorable mention 😅
The funny thing is the turbo tunnel isn't the hardest level in Battletoads. It's just the one most of us only ever seen
I never found that one hard also theres a warp in it too lol i always died a couple levels further lol
@@jarredkrum9894 yea there are way tougher levels than that one
Battletoads is the evilest game ever made. Dude, like every stage feels unforgiving ffs lol
21 every level Ashley talks in resident evil should be on this list lol
Demolition man? I’ve played that 3 times and never failed y’all must be on something lol
The freaking black gulch from ds2
8:59 Well ofc the great maze is gonna be hard.
You chose Ganondorf
Some of these games are the reason i suffer with mental health, traumatized me for life!😢😅
I did the demolition man mission in Vice City a couple of weeks ago. Did it on my first try. Wasn't frustrating at all. It was the Definitive Edition though so maybe something is different in that version? Idk.
at 1st yes it was though heard it's a lot better now
I actually thought Demolition Man in Vice City was easy. I'm not sure why people struggled so much on that section.
The final mission for the nightclub was way worse! I can't tell you how many times I failed that race before I finally beat it.
Demolition Man can actually be hard
I must be the only person who has never had any issues with the demolition man Misson
Cortana would've been a better entry for the Halo series. Good god that was frustrating...
Demolition Man in VC made me quit playing the remakes. I beat it as a kid but I got so pissed as ah adult that I gave up on the game. 😂😂
I'd trade Blight Town for 4-2 using your Zelda argument about one getting too much hate while the other not enough. Seriously. That level is so frustrating and unlike Blight Town you either do it or fail. Even the shortcut is a nightmare to get to whereas the master key item can just skip most of Blight Town.
Ashley? Really? Hardly frustrating. If anything, I found it a bit tense, at least the first part. You get so used to being able to shoot enemies and shake them off if you get grabbed. Now you don't have that and you only have so many lanterns, and if you're not strategic, you'll miss.
I just recently beat the Great Bay temple and come on , it's not that bad, it's shorter and much better than OOT's water temple
OOT is probably why people don't like it
I would’ve placed the Great Palace from Zelda 2 on here
I never found Demolition Man hard. Supply Lines however.
Donkey Kong Country 2 - Animal Antics
Through the fire and flames is a legit bitch to complete successfully. I struggle on easy mode so I don't even attempt any higher modes.
I remember doing it on easy like once and then never played it again
Cj, all you had to do was fallow the damn train💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀
The funniest part of Ashley in the original RE4 is that she becomes immortal if she’s wearing the suit of armor xD
I Say, Ocarina of time , horse race to win Epona pet. It' s savage. I managed to beat It a few times only.
One more entry guiding Luigi in Dark Moon edges is tremendously frustrating not worthwhile the efforts spent.
Ingo definitely cheats in the second race by abusing his horse with constant dashing. I’ve found I can pretty reliably win by starting off with several dashes for an early lead, then occasional dashes while hugging the fence so he can’t pass.
REALLY Contra and TMNT The Dam??? The Library in Halo cake. Just go slow and only less The Flood only spawn in the front. Some of the others yes, but this could have been every Shinobi game, almost any Mega Man game, all 3 OG Ninja Gaiden games, LoZ Ocarina Of Time: Master Quest, Super C, and almost any bullet hell game of the 90's and early 2000's
Frustrating and challenging are not the same thing. GIT GUD
