Falcon getting progressively more and more frustrated describing the queen of cards quest is hilarious lol
Does anyone knows what happened to the other guy voicing Falcon? I'm pretty sure a while back it wasn't this dude
@@diegoflores1181 pretty sure it was always him. At least in the years since I'm watching
@@diegoflores1181 there’s two different ones one is Falcon another doesn’t introduce him self as falcon so isn’t falcon
Yeahhh
It's absolutely warranted. The only way to complete the Queen of Cards quest is basically through save scumming while using a guide. I've never known of a person pulling this off while going in blind.
"Top 10 Impossible Quests"
"Starting off at number Seven..."
hi
Had to go back and hear if it's true yes it is he says "10 near impossible" but it's actually 7
It's near impossible to count to 10
thats one impossible quest
We really got hoodwinked with this one
Getting invincibility in Goldeneye was one of my proudest gaming achievements.
I actually figured out years later WHY it took me so long- because the N64 analogue stick would wear down pretty easily, so when I was pressing it fully 'up' would only make me go like, 80% speed compared to a completely new controller. (I probably should have noticed this earlier, but I was just a kid.) Many GE speedrunners use different controller configurations to avoid using one to run at all.
I probably attempted this like 100 times before I completed it. It was the last cheat I needed to unlock. Man I was so proud when I got it, only to realize that everyone else just bought a Gameshark and got the cheats that way. Losers!
yup, it does not belong on this list.
I had a gameshark so I didnt have to find the cheats lol
i 100% that game and lent it to my friend at school and he deleted my save so i had to 100% it again. so annoying
Also though, doing the ambulance missions in GTA was really difficult… You basically needed to do it really early in the game because otherwise you had all kinds of rival gangs that would attack you on-sight and destroy the ambulance…
If you did the ambulance mission in the northern area of the first map, it was much easier. But that doesn't mean it was easy. And start out fat, cuz you get hungry and start losing weight, then muscle.
Yeah, and since they're tedious you don't want to do it early.
i always did them early, because they usually gave you an extra 50pts of health or some decent power-up
lost divie,s long time ago
@@royruther4895you didn’t even eat in GTA3. In GTA:SA you started off with that problem.
Top 10 Impossible Quests:
1- Gameranx making a top 10 list and actually starting at number 10.
I had to move back to the start more than once, thought I did misshear he said 10 impossible quests weirdest is he has not even changed like it is not so hard to edit the text XD and change what he said to say seven instead. :O or comment sorry guys got it a little wrong and upload a complement to the videos with 3 more quests XD. pewpew. I Think Falcon is getting too old for this shit.
LOL
"Here's 10 games that ____"
"Starting off at number 7"
Because some of the games had 2 like Mario odyssey or Skyrim
@@Karen-ih2mt I'm not sure they still add up to 10 and don't care enough to check, but fair point anyway.
@Imsure Dont ask me nope. It’s still in the video. Made me laugh 😂
@Imsure Dont ask me lmaoooooo
@Imsure Dont ask me this is quoting what he says. Not what the title is 🤦🏻♂️
I still have PTSD from trying to dodge 250 consecutive lightning strikes on the Thunder Plains in FFX. There's a slight flash to warn you right before a strike, but there are also a lot of false flashes in the background, and you must precisely time the press of the dodge button. Yet it had to be done so my little brother could get Onion Knight for Lulu, who is generally worthless anyway. You can beat almost everything with Rikku alone.
Or winning the chocobo race with a 0 second finish time.
@@nathanielfort7788 Whoever designed the controls for that Chocobo race better have never designed a minigame ever again...who thought giving it tank controls made sense??
The butterfly capturing quest gave me more trouble than it should. The prospect of getting the celestial weapons again is pretty convincing in not trying to 100% a second time. That and the prospect of grinding for 100 hours to max out all of the sphere grids. Once was enough, thanks.
I remember being 14 and literally being so stressed out because I wasnt great at saving my game, but I was stuck in blackreach trying to do the quest for like 3 days trying to find my way out/everytime I found the exit I realized I needed more nirnroot so I hated life. Key is to not be impatient and expect the damn things to not spawn, so when they do its fulfilling lmao
It regrows. Just find 1 near an exit and leave wait a few days and return.
@@adamorick2872 I was 14 like 9 years ago so, that mission is long complete lol
@@adamorick2872 you can get them all in one go you just have to be willing to search. This is the way I’d recommend doing it.
Jumping rope 1000 time with vivi - final fantasy ix
dodging 200 lighting in thunder plains - final fantasy x
Those two side quests still gives me nightmares
Ahh yes thunder plains Square owes me a controller and TV long story short there's a pad sided hole where the picture on screen used to be I need anger management then again mabey a lot would do the same tht chocobo one used to be torture to I got lucky a pro vid helped me out still pretty hard though but at least I get one extra final weapon but damn them sometimes even rubber banding a turbo controller dpsent even help did you do it in the end I heard a rumor a out an extra bonus just a certificate no other use but jump 9001 times im gonna pass I know ied go for 10,000 and then not stop ited land me in hospital probably
Getting 00:00 made me quit my remaster playthrough recently
@@RyanS406 I got it on my second try it was pure luck
@@RyanS406 u know vivi optinal and others who can do it later still no easyer but still I think creators wanna see us suffer or get imposably skilled huh
My personal record that I did legit on PS1 was 282 rope jumps. Then they released the HD remaster on PS4 and cross play on PC made it possible to use scripts and finish the 1000 jumps on PC. Praise the technology.
I did the Queen of Cards quest as a kid. Even with a strategy guide it was a massive pain in the ass and I must have reloaded saves hundreds of times throughout.
Congrats on sticking with it!
Yeah thank god I played the game with s prima guide. It was a better mini game then blitzball in FFX.
ABSOLUTELY EVERYTHING I WAS ABOUT TO SAY!! Even with a damn strategy guide it's outrageous!!
Really? I did it as a kid and it was pretty straight forward, just required a bit of save and reload though to mitigate rules. I was surprised it was even on the list, let alone top of the list. It's tedious, but not difficult.
Ikr. I've actually won the lottery multiple times and am a trillionaire. It's tedious, but not that difficult.
I remember trying to do that Unity mission solo. I had to make a planned route that would be the fastest and easiest to grab every flag. Still took me too many tries to keep track off but I eventually got it
I heard how infamous the quest was and just looked up a guide immediately once I got to it. Beat it second try. Thx youtube. Pause button is broken.
Same, took me literally hours, but i did it
Is unity so over hyped cause they improved free running? Personally black flag is the best original AC game, before health bars lol
Getting all the korok seeds in BOTW really tested my completeness for a game
Getting all the stamps with each character in Super Mario 3D world tasted my patience..
Just dont be a doctor that tasted their patients
"All we had to do, was follow the damn train, CJ!"
Hahaha, yeah, that one and that stupid forklift mission.
Lol but thats a main quest
@@varialles2164 it wasnt that bad sort of tedious but not impossible
Easy if you just drive on top of the train
Oh my fucking lord nightmare fuel
When I got notified of this video I immediately thought of the riddler challenges
I got the arkham trilogy in a sale awhile back and played all 3 games to 100% in around a week. They're not too bad, just really tedious and repetitive.
@@danielflanard8274 how many hours?
@@danielflanard8274 maybe not long if you don’t have a life. people w responsibilities have a hard enough time beating all three, let alone competing then at 100%
@@SocietyKilledTheUnicorn
For whatever reason my Xbox didn't track the time spent on Asylum or City but it says 1d, 16h, 25m for Arkham Knight; I'd say probably around that same amount of time for the other two.
@@NinjerWreck
Yeah I'm a teenager, that's how it goes. People with responsibilities and obligations wouldn't have much trouble beating a game if they really wanted to because they know how to manage their time in the most efficient way. When you want to do something, you know to allocate most of your free time to it. If someone has kids, then yeah it would be difficult but that's not my problem. Gaming most likely isn't and shouldn't be a priority in under those circumstances. Around two days of play time stretched out into small sessions throughout an entire month or so isn't that long of a period of time to beat a game. Collectathons are not hard, just time intensive, stop being a dick.
Final Fantasy IX has 3 candidates for this depending on how you quibble over definition of side quests.
1. Excalibur II - The not hinted at full game absurd time limit quest.
2. Card Game Max Rank
3. Nero Brothers Quest (mostly for how long it was entirely unknown).
Also, cool that you mentioned Braid - but that deserved to be on the list for sure.
Came here to make this comment!
King of Jump Rope is my all time most hated though...
It's amazing to me how many people didn't know about the Nero brothers quest. I knew about its existence not too long after the game was originally released
“You have to read Sindertan’s Journal”
Lol FALCON every time. S i n d e r i o n
Some honorable mentions:
- Breaking Titanfall 2 record in the beginning of the game;
- GTA vice city toy helicopter mission;
- Driver 1 tutorial;
- getting a girlfriend
The Vice City mission is insane with the default controls. But once you change your controls sheme, it becomes relatively manageable. Annoying, yet doable.
I HATED the Vice City toy helicopter mission
@@garrettferrell6821 or the San Andreas Berkley missions... sheeesh what a pain in the @$$.
'getting girlfriend' in which game ??
Where do you get a girlfriend?
That Golden Eye Invincibility trial is what got me into trophy hunting and speed running games.
So once you prove you don't need invincibility you get invincibility?
Same! It was SO freaking difficult, but the rush you got once you finally completed it?! Priceless
I still remember the sensation of accomplishment even after more than two decades! I think it was the only time that I was possessed by the Speedrun Demon.
@@davebathgate you don't do it for the Invincibility cheat. You do it for the personal accomplishment.
It also was not to bad to do. I remember it to have been fun to get it.
5:49 A very good observation. Helped me further relax and enjoy my games, instead of sweating about doing everything perfect and then feeling like I worked for 5 hours. I really am not the hero of the beach.
One of the ones for me was to dodge 200 lightning bolts in a row without leaving the area in ffx to get the Saturn sigle for lulu's ultimate weapon. I did it one time it took forever and I broke a controller while doing so. It was soooo hard. And u can make a better weapon for her at this point. But u won't get break damage limit for ixion.
I thought that was for tidus' sigil...but same, very tedious. Also impossible on an old PS2 controller with bad buttons.
Dear lord I wish I hadn't read this. I've done that at least twice and it traumatized me so I pushed it out of memory. Also the chocobo race in calm lands with the balloons and stupid seagulls. UGH!! Pain long since buried. I remember several of my friends just giving up and bringing their memory cards to my house to do their stupid chocobo races for them. Think it was for Tidus sigil? I don't remember.
Was just playing through FFX and tried to do it a couple weeks ago. I made it all the way to 186 and messed up. Let's just say everyone got their ultimate weapon except Lulu, lmao. Though with the build I was using for her, the ultimate weapon would probably have been worse anyways
I knew The Tournament would be here, but let's be real, there could have been so many other AC-oriented entries on this list.
I did it solo I finished with 13 sec on timer after 50 tries 😂🤣😅 i got proof lol
@@xxedgelord420xx4 finally got the Platinum today 🙌 i am thinking WD2
I completed it solo and had a full 30 sec to mess around and only took me 3 attempts.
Kalydonian Boar. Erymanthian Boar. Purgatory incarnate. You want to experience true limbo? There it is. You will go through albums upon albums of music doing this.
I've finished it solo too. So damn frustrating it was. I almost figured out the fastest route but still kept running out of timer. Finally had to find the exact pathing on RUclips after which I finished the run in a few more tries.
Honorable Mention: Dodging lightning strikes in Final Fantasy X. Think that's when I hated myself the most after failing over and over.
I got so frustrated by it that I actually bought some electronics and built a machine to do it for me with a light sensor, a motor and a solenoid + some technic Lego parts.
@@T4gProd That rules
@@T4gProd u da real MVP
I’ve still never been able to do that all the way to the celestial item....HARD pass lol
I managed the lightning one, but f*** that damn chocobo race. I’ll use Auron and Wakka as my main damage dealers, thx.
Glad you included that assault course from Unity. A lot of the free running sequences in the series can be annoying, but at least there is usually some logic to the route and your destination. That course just seems completely random though with no flow to it what so ever. Never got close to beating the time.
Thank you for the Golden Eye nostalgia. My brother and I spent many sleepless nights trying to get all those unlockables, and FACILITY has a huge place in my heart.
The Queen of Cards needs to play Yu-Gi.
She’s basically cheating and everyone knows what Yu-Gi does with cheaters.
Yes, he cheats
Send them to the fucking shadow realm....
Send them to the shadow realm!!
Great, now we have to go to the shadow realm to do the quest. Thanks Yugi!
Ironically, Yugi also cheats. Though I really don't think he _knows_ he cheats.
One of the abilities of the Millennium Puzzle is Minor Probability Manipulation, meaning he can increase the odds of drawing the card he needs at any given moment. However, he doesn't know about this ability, and simply chalks it up to "The Heart of the Cards"...
Final Fantasy X Dodge ⚡lightning⚡ 200 times in a row.
That one is super easy compared to jump rope x 1000 FFIX.
I think the chocobo race from ff10 for tidus celestial weapon is a pain in the ass
@@Matt-ev7qi Im not even trying that one. 😢
@@malcomhoover6329 yeah, that’s another frustrating one. I’d do lighting dodge everyday for a year than do that again. I’ve done it 3 times. That’s enough.
@@personalspace6270 highest I got was around 500. After that, I said F it.
While easy as can be with a guide, I can't imagine how painful the Frogs of Legend sidequest from Final Fantasy XV must be without one. There are five, normal-sized frogs hidden all over the open-world map. You are told only that they are near bodies of water, of which there are plenty in FFXV. The only clue you get to one being near is a distinct ribbit sound effect. You have to be quite close to hear it.
I did Flying Rat with the help of a guide. Still incredibly tedious.
Getting Lulu's celestial weapon in FFX. You have to dodge 200 random lightning strikes in a row, without leaving the area. Also, the game doesn't tell you how many you've dodged.
right? btw forgot it was for Lulu, but i always end up just crafting her an amazing weapon using orbs lol.
Everyone's mentioning this and tidus' but honestly kimahris is just as bad, catching the stupid butterflies in a time limit. And then there's the hours of blitzball for wakkas overdrives, it wasn't hard, but it sucked
@@shakeysugar4382 yeah no i agree. i think the minigames in FFX were pretty hard overall. like trying to get Jecht Shot for Tidus on the boat always bothered me, especially if you want it the first try for the initial tournament cause it helps you win. i think for me the butterfly was the third hardest, second was the chocobo dash training and first was the lightning
I've seen so many people talk about dodging the 200 lightning bolts in the comments section of just about every video that talks about annoying mini games and/or side quests...but I never see anyone ever talk about jumping rope 1000 times in final fantasy 9. I also rarely see the queen of cards side quest in Final Fantasy 8 get talked about
I would argue that the reward is good. FF9 jump rope challenge however...
The wildlife art exhibition quest from RDR2 should be here, that quest was a pain
What is this quest?
Yeh what quest?

I didn't mind the crimson nirnroot quest in Skyrim. It was the quest that brought me to Blackreach in the first place. My mind was so busy being blown by this giant underground city that had been sleeping beneath the surface unbeknownst to me for my first 40 hours of the game, I didn't mind the fetch quest that compelled me to explore it.
Return to your roots is the worst, because you get a horrible reward
Can we have a “most boring game quests” vid ?
They already made one..
I think...
Drop whole Ac series
Half of gtav’s missions
Yep that is a fact sadly
You just watched it
Any escort quest
I'm surprised ”Supply Lines” in GTA San Andreas with the rc airplanes didn't make the list.
Because if I am not mistaken, pretty much all these in this list were optional side quests and if I am not mistaken, you had to do the Supply Lines mission was one you had to do for get to the end of the story. But then again...I could be wrong.
@@bloodwolfgaming9269 actually Zero's missions were optional. You can finish GTA SA without doing Zero's missions so yeah i'm also surprised "Supply Lines" wasn't even mentioned
I didn't have too much trouble with supply lines. Flight school halted my progress for a couple of days though.
@@_Mojitoo
But most players have played it.
Isn't the one in Vice City obligatory?
@@JonatasAdoM The RC helicopter one yeah but its not the most annoying.
Hearing falcon all frustrated as he describes these missions is hilarious
Finally something I’ve done. Totally got my invincibility cheat. And for my money Caverns was harder. One attempt is 20 min so when you fail it really sucks. 2 min wasted in facility is no big deal.
The tournament is literally the hardest thing I’ve ever done in a video game. I literally raged so hard I ran across the room and dove onto the floor.

@@alexjohnson6498 I can only imagine how much longer it might have taken without a guide. Kudos mate. GG.
Alt title: Falcon being ANGRY for 14 minutes
😆
I actually enjoyed the crimson nirn quest because I love Blackreach so much. It really has a mysterious, gloomy athmosphere with all these luminescent shrooms.
I agree with the Odyseey moons, they sucked and I had to actually cheese my way through the volleyball-challenge using 2player mode
In the game Elite Dangerous, there’s a wide variety of missions to do depending on how you want to play (it’s an MMORPG, after all). You can do dogfights, assassinations, be a pirate, be a miner, traveler, explorer, you can join a faction and do faction missions, you can be a taxi or vacation cruise ship; there’s a lot of options.
For me, I was a trader and explorer. I picked up a mission to deliver some stuff to this one outpost, “no big deal” I thought at first…
But there’s an outpost called Hutton Orbital that’s so far away from the star in its system that you have to travel in its direction at full throttle for an *hour and a half in real time*. I am not kidding. I literally just left the game running and went to do chores when I saw how slowly I was traveling toward the outpost… I came back and I still wasn’t anywhere near close to the outpost.
And no, you can’t jump anywhere else in the system except right next to the star, and there’s also no fast traveling, so you’re forced to fly for an hour and a half just to reach Hutton Orbital.
The neat thing about it is that there’s a very rare souvenir and another item you can only get at that outpost called the Hutton Mug. And once you’re there, you can jump out of the system immediately so you only have to embark on the long haul once. But man… I was not mentally prepared for that. I almost wanted to give up but I had spent so much time flying I didn’t want to lose my progress lol
You forgot the absolute shit mini-game pirate attack. If you are in a fully loaded hauler maneuvering that thing is obnoxious as hell and a good chance of loosing. The main reason I stopped playing that game. Absolutely hated that mechanic.
@@mikebalentine I feel you. There's a lot of defensive options you can invest in, but it also depends on the amount of systems your ship can handle. It's not for everyone though, I've played less over the years
Solo White fatalis be like:"I am not in those list, I'm good right?"
This whole video is a mood. Falcon sounds pissed through out the whole thing. As he should be.
That was a great lineup! I think one of the most frustrating things that I totally just gave up on was final fantasy x lightning strike dodging.
Breath of the Wild - getting all 900 korok seeds. It's incredibly tedious and the reward for doing it is literally a gold-painted turd.
"10 near impossible quests. Starting off at number 7"
Once upon a time, I actually finished Queen of Cards. I must have had a helluva lotta time on my hands.
I was listening this while getting ready to go to the barber shop, and I closed out without looking. And then I come back and it’s at 6:58, and I’m wondering wtf is on my screen
I’m now currently watching "5 Ubisoft mistakes that they want you to forget" and I just got my answer at 4:38 in the video. That’s creepy lmao. Also it’s so cool that you liked my comment gameranx 😄
The delicate flower quest in hollow knight was hard, not to mention the path of pain
Hmm.. I don't remember the jump rope one from Mario Odyssey being that hard. I mean, yeah, I remember having to do it probably 10-15 times before passing it and thinking "Wow, that was a hassle", but certainly nothing that belongs on an impossible video game quest list. I never saw the volleyball one. I either just missed it or quit before that kingdom.
The rest of these tough, I definitely agree with.
I finished the Triple Triad Challenge when I was in High School. That was probably my seventh playthrough. It makes the iteration in FFix so relieving
The best part of golden eye was if you couldn’t do it you most likely had friends around to help out.
I'm honestly surprised that the lightning dodging thing to get Lulu's ultimate weapon from FFX wasen't on there. Still to this day i've never completed that mission
@Brian Welch I could never do it I've never gotten past 10 I just can't react quick enough
@Brian Welch you said chocobo catcher and now i have severe PTSD lmao
Thumbs up if you also unlocked "Invincibility" in Goldeneye. Was so proud of getting that back in the day.
**thumbs up** I had to replay that mission SO MANY TIMES.
the guy working electronics at wal-mart hated my guts for how long i would spend there. lol (i'm not kidding either, i never owned the game, but the n64 display at wal-mart always had full games, not demos, so i got to play all of goldeneye, turok 2, star fox 64, STar Wars episode one racer, donkey kong 64, super mario 64, and banjo kazooie before i ever owned any of them.)
I also think that and the ones in perfect dark, is where my loathing of speed running comes from. lol
Definitely glad to see Darksouls on here. Those quests are convoluted.
Those 2 particular Skyrim quests are EXACTLY what came to mind when I saw this video in my recommended list! The fact that you can't get rid of those stones made it even more irritating!
Finally something I can relate to. The queen of cards got me several times as well.
Not a quest per se, but I immediately thought of the FFX "quest" to get the Venus Sigil, where you have to dodge 200 lightning strikes in a row in the Thunder Plains.

@@yourfriendlyneighbourhoodl6206 the game was pretty shit thats what
That game feels so bad after playing Sekiro.
Yeah I remember GoldenEye finally it did have some of the most challenging challenges like unlocking oo7 mode which is basically god mode and gives you access to all cheats your health the NPC's Health the enemy's accuracy timing that speed everything bullet time everything you could possibly imagine back then and the only way to unlock it what's to beat every level including the two seemingly impossible hard bonus levels on oo agent difficulty and I do believe at the time from what I was told you also had to unlock all of the in-game cheats via beating the challenges on every level to do so I'm pretty sure that added a great deal to my blood pressure and shave off a couple years of my life but I had a blast doing it
Fun fact... you can cheese the Crown of Barenziah quest in Skyrim with relative ease.
1) Get the first gem at usual, get it identified at the thieves' guild, start the quest as normal. Do NOT get more than 1 at this step to maximize your chances of succeeding at this.
2) Get to the next most easily available gem; note that there are some in pretty much all the main cities, making this quest possible to complete right at the beginning of a new game without ever stepping into any of the dangerous locations some of them are hidden in. Keep reading.
3) Stare directly at the gem; I mean, literally put your cursor straight over it so the picking up prompt appears.
4) Save your game.
5) Load your game.
6) Immediately before the game has fully loaded, after the loading screens but before the game fully resumes - *while the screen is black just before the game fully starts* - mash the 'pick stuff up' button like a madman.
Explanation: See, the thing is, when the game is still in the process of loading, it tends to have trouble fully keeping track of everything that's happening, and the multiple inputs of 'pick that damn gem up' it gets confuse it, sometimes to the point of actually adding more than 1 Gem to your inventory. If you fail to get more than 1, reload and retry until you do. NOTE: I have gotten 2, 3, and even rarely, 4 gems of Barenziah out of a single one by doing this, but aim for 2-3. 4 is very rare as far as I can tell.
7) Once you have gained 2+ gems from that one gem, go to the next one.
8) Repeat #3 to 6.
9) Repeat #7, and so on.
10) Eventually, you will have 24 stones of Barenziah despite only actually finding 8-12 of them and never needing to go in one of the dungeons to find them all. Now return to the Thieves' guild, get the last mission of the Quest, go find the Crown - careful about the Falmer and their big bugs, the poison is very annoying at low levels - and assemble it; get the Perk, enjoy.
I have completed all that as early as level 6, before I ever completed any other dungeon in the game other than the Crown of Barenziah one. Needless to say... I was soon enough positively swimming in gemstones.
NOTE: In case you're wondering, no, doing this will not break the quest or cause shenanigans once you find another stone of Barenziah after completing the quest. They will simply be non-quest item gems worth 200 septims, and you can sell them as you find the rest while playing normally with your fancy new perk active and well.
5:32 funny how "bitch" is covered in the main comment and not on the reply 😂
Is it just me or does falcon sound just a bit different
He sounds suspiciously enthusiastic
ive scrolled this far to see i am not crazy. i heard that voice and said, that is not fucking falcon.
@@greglucas7735 Dude, that describes it perfectly
Maybe he is sick? Or he has been replaced with an impostor
Sounds sped up, so I lowered it to 75% and it sounds more like normal. A bit slower than normal but close.
The fact that Final Fantasy 8 is the number 1 spot made me sub.
I remember back in highschool playing it every day after school for 9 months straight. I even had a guide book after failing to finish the game cos I wasn't prepared well enough.
I didn't find the Queen of Cards as difficult as the hidden boss known as Ultima weapon. I managed to succeed with the Queen of Cards quite well but I never was able to defeat Ultima Weapon. No matter how hard I tried.
When you mentioned the Super Mario Jump-Rope Challenge, it just reminded me of the Jump-Rope minigame on Final Fantasy IX ... which is substantially more difficult in my opinion. In fact I completed the queen of cards from FF VIII with far less difficulty :D
There's a Gameshark code where it jumps for you for FF9.
“ All we had to do was follow the damn train CJ”
@@smashbrandiscootch719 hahaha, my bad.
I think of collecting 100 feathers in assassin’s creed 2 that shit was miserable
Not as bad as the flags in the original Assassin’s Creed
Yeah the flags where worse
100 feathers was chump change. Pretty easy. And they at least show up on the map plus you can buy a map to find them all. The damn flags though... king Richards were the worst as there really is no reliable guide to find them all. Plus in total, the first AC had 420 flags across all regions.
First time I did it, following a guide, I wound up with 99, and didn't have a clue which one I'd missed. So I went and visited every location AGAIN just to find the missing one, and I shit you not, the one I missed was literally the LAST ONE possible on my recheck. If Ubisoft devs had gotten what I wished on them at that point, that company would have ceased to exist...
Screw the flags I had maps where the flags were and gave up, because I picked up a flag and didn't scratch it off the map. Easily the worst part of all the AC games/collectathon games I've played.
Fector’s challenge from Stardew Valley is one that is hard as hell. You need to complete the already difficult shooting mini game, without dying
I'm surprised that dodging 200 lightening strikes IN A ROW from Final Fantasy X wasn't on here. You were required to complete the challenge to receive Lulu's ultimate weapon. The lightening strikes would happen a random intervals and you had about half a second to react to it. You can imagine how hair-tearing-out insanely difficult trying to dodge a LITERAL SPLIT SECOND action at random points 200 times in a row can be. To top that off, in order for the lightening strike to proc, you had to be moving, meaning you couldn't just stand still and dodge over and over; you actually had to run around and explore. That doesn't seem like that much of a problem... unless you know anything about Final Fantasy and know that much like Pokémon, they have a random encounter system. Meaning to complete this challenge, you had to have near-instant reflexes to a dodge random attack 200 times in a row while randomly being attacked by enemies, some of which have the ability to one shot you with special attacks.
I do have FF X/X-2 HD on my switch (I’m in the beginning parts of FF X currently), but is this weapon really THAT worth it for lulu? Is it only in X and not X-2? how far into FF X (as in chapter number) do I have to dodge the lightning for lulu’s best weapon or this entirely optional? also, I’m just confused on why the pc version has cheats and the switch version doesn’t, which is also the same with FF XII TZA (I may be wrong on that)
This.
This and just about every ultimate weapon side quest in that game. Who hurt you, director of FF10?
Omg this brings back the awful memories of hunting pigeons in GTA IV, it had left my mind but thanks for bringing the nightmares back gameranx.
Rope jumping in Mario is hard:
FFIX: exists
Glad someone said it.
Yes the FFIX requires a lot more patience because of sheer number. What makes the Mario one particularly hard is that Mario in odyssey does consecutive jumps at varying different speeds, so each button press is actually impossible to get a perfect rhythm in. Both were a nightmare. The only thing that saved the Mario one was that hopping on a scooter made it so every jump at least had precise consistent timing. Then the volleyball one took me longer than Vivi's jumprope ever has. Because he didn't mention... the volleys also speed up to absurd speeds, and you still have to move around the arena in that time rather than standing in one place.
X3: Terran Conflict.
Getting the Xenon-Hub Quest fulfilled by shipping millions of ressources to it manually without scripting or without me knowing how to set automated traders. It took me about a year (or three? dont remember) of on and off playing to finish it, but I wanted to have it done one time.
Not exactly a quest but I half expected to see the game of skate vs Koston and Carroll from Skate 2
In terms of tedious, It’s either dodging lightning strikes for lulu’s celestial weapon, or the vivi jump rope mini game in final fantasy ix.
finally someone said it lol, lightning was easy if you figured out the technique, but the jump rope mini game in IX... sheesh xD
And then there's the jump rope mini game....
Someone knows. That's a trophy I ain't ever getting.
The jump rope one.
Also getting all of the upgraded celestial weapons in FFX, omfg i could only get 2 of them done
Getting the ability to find more gems is the biggest slap in the face for all the hard work.
2:54 the second you turned the screem black and white i thought it was still the game🤣
Hi gameranx, hope you’re all doing well and staying safe
I mean after these quests, I don’t think that’s happening.
@@MSNRT0 fair enough, some of these being bad memories for me lol
I don't think I'll ever forget having to dodge the lightning 200 times in FFX to unlock a good weapon.
for me, dodge the lightning and Chocobo Racing
At least you get good weapons out of it
Super Mario Odyssey: let's see ya jump rope 100 times.
Final Fantasy IX: you're gonna want me to hold your beer...
I've had this channel on in the background for days and I hear "Assassins Creed Unity" in my sleep now. There are millions of video games.
Y’all should look into the “Nothing Man” from Blue Dragon
That game totally changed my perception to the point where I was looking forward to getting "nothing" and if I found an actual item I was disappointed.
Picking that Crimson Nirnroot is probably one of the easiest quests Skyrim
Apparently Falcon has never heard of using a silencer when shooting a gun in public on GTA so to not alert the police.
To make the queen of hearts mission easy, all you have to do is refuse to play her until she doesn't change the rules. I know it's a pain in the ass to wait for an opportunity, and you can always change the rules back in another city.
Final Fantast X Tidus' celestial weapon. Truly rage inducing.
Yes! Was going to say this! Also for me the butterfly catcher is a pain as well
Honestly, for me it's a coin toss for dodging either blitz balls on a chocobo or dodging lightning strikes
I never dodged 100 lightning bolts for Lulu, played the game when it first came out, still play it to this day........smh.....poor Lulu
@@josephedge88 dude I never did that either. I did dodge the balls on the chocobo, but that was after HOURS of sheer determination and will
@@drewbles22 I feel ya, my first playthrough i didn't even know about the celestial weapons, I thought Tidus' weapon was junk lol
I remember trying to get all those pigeons using some dumb guide I printed off some website. Gave up after 60 pigeons, it was too frustrating
The daunting trial of killing Yiazmat in Final Fantasy XII, before the times 2 and 4 speed multiplier existed, and of course making the Tournesol (even with a guide it is utter pain)
I've done both during a childhood summer vacation as well as making the other ultimate weapons. Many nightmares bout that but man did it feel satisfying by the end.
Not to mention for “No stone unturned” you have to find TWENTY FOUR of those very small, easily unnoticeable, and completely obscure gems
There’s an outlast achievement to never reload your camera with a battery.
Hated that achievement because the game is so crazy dark in alot of crazy areas that involve chases you basically have to memorize the game and truly play blind in some of the chase scenes.
Luckily the game was short , unlike Kurayami mode for Kidman dlc in evil within where even sections where there is light the game is filtered to make it pitch black
@@Yokonato I've finished the game and the dlc multiple times by now, but I've never touched both Akumu and Kurayami mode ever again. It's one of these things where you're like "Yeah ok, nice challenge, but I don't need it more than once"
The pull-ups in FFVIIR were pretty infuriating.
oh yeah, i got all of them up to Tifa and for her challenge i gave up, which sucks cause i think there's a trophy attached to them, but it was just so frustrating
That last pull-up challenge is so freakin' hard! You're 100% correct.
@@johncameron1935 yeah i gave up on it, i think there's a trophy for it but i just didn't have it in me lol
The mario jump quest reminded me of Darksiders Genesis leviathan jump challenge which, is not even a quest but or necessary in any way, it would just give you this cool looking electric aura and a good damage buff, but it was by far the hardest and most tedious thing you could do in the game and it was hated by pretty much anyone that attempted it in game.
Not really a quest per se, but the level before the final boss fight in Ecco the Dolphin (the original Sega Genesis version) can make you want to die, like you will so many times while trying to navigate "Welcome to the Machine." If you beat that game (like I did only once,) I salute you.
You missed one of the frustrating ones, Demolition Man from GTA Vice City (RC Heli mission)...x.X
Waa easy af I beat it first try when I was 8
Demolition Man is overblown, incredibly easy once you get the controls down.
Now SUPPLY LINES...even playing perfectly, that level’s a bitch.
@@RagnarokMic Supply lines punishes you if you reload your game. You actually have to lose to beat it if you don't get it the first time
I hear this a lot, but honestly, I never had a problem with it. I played through that game several times and it was actually one of my favorite side quests.
@@RagnarokMic What is, supply lines?
There’s this game called Pokémon and man to “collect them all” you gotta have 2 handhelds, 2-3 copies of the game, and the only way around this is if your friends got the other copy of the game but who wants lead green!?!?
i actually had to leave my copy of the game and my handheld system with a dude at an outdoor swapmeet to get me the secret Pokemon such as Mew and Celebi lol
i almost forgot about these, thanks lmao
Thank you for verbalizing my pain with the skyrim ones. They took so long.
