Whether you've completed the challenge or not, please share.

Here's my top 6 Hardest game challenges:

6. Final Fantasy XII: Defeat Yiazmat, the boss with 50,000,000 + HP! (COMPLETED!!)

Considering I did it in one sitting (without leaving the battle field) I'd consider this the longest boss fight I've ever been up against. Took a good 2 hours and 45 minutes. Good riddance, Square Enix!

5. Mega Man Powered Up: Complete all 100 Challenges. (COMPLETED!!)

Many were tough, others were easy. What can I say? Looking back on it now, it wasn't sooo bad...at least I can say that now.

4. Mega Man Legends 2: 100 Questions in a row! (COMPLETED!!)

Okay, not really hard, just tedious. If you get one wrong, just ONE wrong, you start ALL OVER AGAIN! I have 2 double sided sheets of paper with various answers on it! You know when you're getting better at it when you can get the answers correct without even looking at the questions. Well, that's that.

3. Final Fantasy VII: Defeat Ruby Weapon and Emerald Weapon. (COMPLETED!!)

Some consider these two to be the hardest bosses in RPG history. I thought so too, but maybe it was because I wasn't nearly as good as I am now at gaming. Still, good times. Frankly, I'd like to give another crack at them with this strategy.

2. Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars: 100 Super Jumps. (COMPLETED!!)

Ugh......just ugh...I still can't believe I did it three times, in three separate files let alone once in one file. My friend ejected the game while I was playing it as a joke and ended up erasing all of my files after I had completed this task earlier. You can tell from this statement, I was pissed. Aside from controlling my heart rate, maintaining steady breathing, and not blinking for an entire 1-2 minutes, this is still one of the hardest challenges ever, in my opinion because you can never really expect to do it. Just enjoy this great game, and have fun!

1. Mega Man Powered Up : Get 100.0% in New Style!(COMPLETED!!)

466 Stages down, 2 to go. I'll bet you can guess which ones they are. That's right. Fireman's Stage on Hard with Oilman and Copy Robot's Stage on Hard as Oilman. Oilman is a god-awful disgrace. He's an abomination to that game, and an insult to Mega Man. I'm sure I'll take care of this little nuisance sooner or later. I'll let you know if it unlocks anything, doubtful but, we can always hope. I don't think anybody has gotten 100% yet, so we'll just have to wait and see.

___EDIT___

Who am I kidding? Getting 100% in MMPU New Style is much harder than doing 100 Super Jumps. Well...maybe just a little...

Also, come to think of it, Yiazmat was relatively easy in my opinion, considering I killed him on my first try. He can go down one on my list.

___EDIT___

Finally beat Fireman on Hard Mode as Oilman. My hands are still shaking...

Just need to beat the Copy Robot Level, then I'll have 100.0% on New Style! Doubt it unlocks anything, but still...we'll see.

___EDIT___

I did it. 100.0% in New Style Mode. Take that, Capcom!

Just as I thought, no unlockable in doing so.

Super Monkey Ball Banana Blitz: Clear all stages without continues to unlock bonus worlds!! (ALMOST COMPLETED!!)
There's always that one trick turn, bad ledge, Wiimote screw-up, or something completely unheard of to knock out all of your lives before you can finish the job.

MegaMan Battle Chip Challenge: Have your batteries live through Hackersnet!
This, if not the hardest, is the one that ticked me off the most. I was on a long road trip using the good ol' original GBA and I think Energizers. My folder was good, I could kill off any element with Bass, yada yada... at battle seventy-something my batteries died. I didn't say a word for the rest of the drive, just gave my GBA mean looks.

MegaMan: Powered UP: Get all the Construction Packs!! (Almost done!!)
WHERE ARE YOU, LAST FINE PACK? WHERE DO YOU LURK IN ALL OF THE GAME'S STAGES? I WILL FIND YOU!



This one ain't hard at all, but it's fun!
MegaMan Battle Network 6: Beat Gregar with only the MegaBuster (non-charged)!!(COMPLETED!!!!!)
Please don't tell me this took you over ten tries, please don't.

Five star all songs in game on expert mode (Guitar hero 2): (Not even close to fully beaten, I've gotten the first section but no more...)

And for that last one Highmax, I've done that twice... >_>

Final Fantasy X
Dodge those lightning bolts. I didn't even bother, and skipped it. roofle.

haha. Arkane, hardcore gamer. I didn't kill Emerald or Ruby, or do the 100 questions from hell.

I remember the lightning bolt dodging! Yes, that too was a big pain. I can proudly say, I pulled that off. I got everyone's Ultimate Weapon in FFX, unsealed.

Another annoying challenge in that game was the Chocobo riding in the Calm Lands. When I finally did do it, it was a perfect run. It had to be. Didn't get hit by any balls and got around 15 ballons. I thought my game messed up, because the guy wasn't giving me the Sun Sigil. It wasn't until later I found out you have to quit from this mini-game altogether before he hands it over. So, guess what? Before I knew that, I reset the game and did it again.

God of War-Walk the balance beams of death in Hades.

Utter, utter hell. I hated this segment with a passion.

If you're gonna talk about perfection in video games...
Get an 'S' on every song in a Elite Beat Agents.(100% complete)
It's not that hard in retropsect, now that I can pick up the game and clear everything with an 'S' on Hard Rock now. When you're leading up to it, it gets very frustrating.

Get an 'XS' on every operation [hard and extreme] in Trauma Center (18% complete)
I really do not know how I'm supposed to get an A, let alone an XS, on episode 6-4 where
Hell, I can barely pass that mission.

Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars: 100 Super Jumps. (Yeah, no way. 70% completed)
70 was an accomlishment. 100 would be a miracle.

Which Pack Number are you referring to exactly? I could lend a hint.

You just reminded me...

6. Mega Man Powered Up : Get 100% in New Style!(99.5% COMPLETE!)

466 Stages down, 2 to go. I'll bet you can guess which ones they are. That's right. Fireman's Stage on Hard with Oilman and Copy Robot's Stage on Hard as Oilman. Oilman is a god-awful disgrace. He's an abomination to that game, and an insult to Mega Man. I'm sure I'll take care of this little nuisance sooner or later. I'll let you know if it unlocks anything, doubtful but, we can always hope. I don't think anybody has gotten 100% yet, so we'll just have to wait and see.

Try playing Halo on Legendary using only the Magnum, or Plasma pistol... >_<

Topics actually can't be merged anymore; this hasn't been possible since the change to IOBoard. In the future please just bump up the old topic instead of starting a new one if possible.

I could lock this topic and force you guys to continue discussion in the old topic if I wished, but I'm going to leave this open. People have already started discussing and by locking this one I kinda close the door on you to continue what you already got going here since I can't merge them together. If that feature is ever added again the two topics will likely be merged.



I started fighting the Hell Wyrm but got bored because of it's high HP. I wouldn't even want to imagine Yiazmat.

I thought it was bad to bump old topics. But, since the merge function is no longer in play, I guess I made a bad move.

Oh well. This one's better anyways.

Also, yes, it was pretty boring. It got to the point that if you set up your Gambits just right, you could leave the room, come back some time later, and everyone would still be alive and Yiazmat with less HP. Of course, his strategy changes at certain intervals during the fight based on his remaining HP. All in all, Yiazmat will keep you company for the next couple of hours.

Or, I think you can leave anytime, just leave the room before he uses Renew on himself! If you leave before he can do this, his remaining HP should still be the same from when you last fought him. Leave, Save and return until you think your tolerance for boredom kicks in, then repeat.

Kingdom Hearts- Synthesize All Items! (Complete!)

WAY too time consuming. DAMN THOSE MYSTERY GOOS!

Just like Town Portal in Diablo.

Ultimate Spider-man:Johnny Storms Races(Trying to complete)
Hell,I completed just two races but hell i screw up at the 2nd race(the 1st orb that is)

Ultimate Spider-man:Chase Electro(Complete)
I hate this freaking chases,it took me 8-7 tries to catch Electro!(By using Venom)

Resident Evil 4 Only standard pistol and knife on Professional COMPLETE Many have done it on standard, but on Pro?! It was hard, simply put. Some enemies you need to develop a stategy, while others is simply, run, shoot, run, shoot and so on. It was a tough task...but...I did it.

Bumping older topics is perfectly acceptable if you're adding something on topic. I can understand why one might think counter to this because this board has had a nasty infestation of backseat moderators in the past who jumped at members for bumping topics but I haven't seen that sort of behaviour around much lately.

-------
I'd like to go after Yiazmat sometime but I'm not sure I'm up to a battle that takes hours and hours. I still have to get Zodiark and Ultima as well. Zodiark. Fucking Zodiark.

Let's see.

1:Beating the first stage of Tyrant in RE1 with just a knife
Let's just say that a lot of cussing was done. Yeah. At least the second part was easy. Roffle.

2:Beating Resident Evil 4 in just under 3 hours, without the Broken Butterfly or special launcher
No cheat weapons either. Fresh from the start. I need to get out more often.

3:Killing Ultimate Weapon in FF7 ten levels before I was supposed to try and face him
Honestly this wasn't that hard. I just like to rub it in FF7 fans' faces.

4:Collecting all the items in Castlevania: Portrait of Ruin
Hard. HARD. Time consuming.

5:Beating House of the Dead 2 on two credits
If any of you scoff at me and say it's not hard, then you can take a flying you-know-what at the moon.

6:Managing to beat Halo's last stage on the hardest difficulty
Not so much the enemies as the time limit. Screw up slightly, even once, and you die. Horrifically.

7:Beating Dark Faltz in Phantasy Star with a low-level FONeweral
OH MY GOD THE BURNING. It was so very, very hard. But I lived to see another PSO.

8:Playing Quest64 and beating it, without cursing
If anyone's played Quest64, you know what an amazing miracle this is.

9:Playing ET The Extraterrestrial on the Atari and managing to get him out of a hole
*loud, angry screaming*

10:Making the high score in SCII at my arcade insanely impossible to beat
If you're wondering, I use Talim.

And that's some of my list. A lot of those I would love to try again. And others I wish the most horrible of fates.

Here are others:

Unlock Ultraman Anphans by playing Survival mode with 10 characters
Do they want me to die or something??

I was the top score for like a few hours, I used Ivy for no real reason. Then this kid came along and stomped me by a good amount...He was maybe 9 or 10...

I HATE THAT BOSS. I don't remember what ol X plays as (some magic user) but he and I went up against Falz in Very Hard, I was level 49 or 50..he's only around 35, and he's the healer so..yeah..have to keep him alive. So Faltz did his usual crap of trapping us inside of his first form (because he's an ass) but we killed him anyway, then we got his second form because I am a totally bitchin' HUcast with machineguns.

..then his third form showed up.

X: "I didn't know he had a third form in Very Hard?!"
Me: "AHHHHHHHHH" *running around in circles* "HOW DO I HIT HIM, DAMN"
X: *dies*
Me: "CRAP" *revives*
X: *dies*
Me: "CRAP" *revives*
X: "I can't withstand that attack obviously"
Me: "WOW RLY?" *running around in circles, eventually running out of Moon Atomizers and dying myself*
Me: "....god I dunno who I hate more, him or De La Rocha." (Yeah that's my nickname for De Rol Le or whatever his name is)

Regardless...X needs to level his character before we try THAT again. Ugh. I dunno what the minimum is for Ultimate but I'll definitely be there before him. Haha.

My difficult tasks have been in the Breath of Fire games. Killing a Berserkr, and an ArchMage in BoF 3. ArchMage of course being easier. Was grand when I finally did defeat a Berserkr at level 45 or so. I still haven't been able to get a Goo King Sword though....damned Goo Kings...

But I haven't been able to defeat Riders, or the Trean and Trunked groups in BoF 4... They drive me mad yeah, and I don't want to get through the game until I beat them..haha.

BoF 2 had the K. Sludges, which become easy of course as you level...and the N. Riders, which are easier than the K. Sludges.

I haven't even BOTHERED to attempt BoF 5's Kokon Horay...since I couldn't get through the game itself and had to do that restart crap, but I enjoy it.

Also, another challenge that I quite enjoyed (maybe because I'm a sadomasochist) was the Ancient Cave in Lufia II. 98 floors of pain.

Edited by HollowTorment on May 27, 2007 at 3:16:58.

Guh. I remember those guys. I never beat ArchMage, but that Mind Sword...damn did I ever want to learn it. Berserker was a long battle...first time I'd ever chance Weretiger. Too bad I can't give this game another whirl, the disc got randomly cracked in the center while it was in the system or something. Weird.

BoF4, I beat the Rider(s), I found him easy. I remember the Trunk groups. I'm sure I had War Shout, Focus, Triple Strike, Mad Combo (the one where you input the commands as they appear) and ShadowWalk (the one that lets you hit critical every time). Those guys took me a couple of tries myself. Maybe I'll whip this one out again for good time's sake.


Never heard of this Goo King Sword. Is it any goood? (intentional ooos)


I remember having the Royal Sword with Ryu. Ah...good old fishing. God, I miss that game.

Edited by Arkane on May 26, 2007 at 16:59:19.

God of war 2:Save the pegasus(Trying to complete)
Grrrr....

I thought Mind Sword was learned from a Master or such? I knew i had it before I got to ArchMage's...at least I think I did.



Yes, I used Weretiger and my favorite seemingly-useless move, Influence.



PSX's are all haunted and like randomly breaking things.



Maybe I was too low level or not using the right people in the front, but note I also want to steal the armor off him..



Best sword in the game, it's just a bitch to get. Have to steal a Green Apple off a King Goo, which enrages him to use VERY powerful attacks like Sirocco, then you have to kill him and hope he drops the sword. It's a pain.



To be honest...I mainly liked fishing in BoF 4 and..while the game was awesome..the fishing was most entertaining!

EMPEROR FTW? Seriously tho. That's quite a feat.
rofl. The only House of the Dead i could beat on two credits was 4, but that's because life ups were like all over.
The Star should have been the last boss instead of The World
lmao, Arkane. I spent like a whole morning trying to get the Caldablahblah. I was always cutting it so close, and was like %$*@!
Sheeze. Can't find much things for console game challenges, i'm more of an arcade person...haha...

It's not hard... what level are you "supposed" to face him at? [/quote]

I scoff at you for being so cheap that you get good enough to beat it on 2 credits.

I refuse to belive that. No one, not even the pope, beats that game without cursing. No one. Although I doubt the pope would play Quest64 for more than 5 minutes.

It's funny, because the whole game revolves around falling in holes and looking around in them. You'd think you could kinda peek into the hole beforehand, but no.

Not hard. Or, at least, shouldn't be the 10th hardest thing you've accomplished.

1. Gee-tar Hero 2- Complete all Hard mode songs with Five stars. [Still attempting]

Okay, so I'm not so great at this game...but hey, I'm getting there. The eyeball guitar will be mine!

2. Dead Rising- Survive for 7 straight days in Infinity Mode [ohnoes]

This is -damn- hard. My best is currently 16 hours, and I'm not going at it again until I get the Real Mega Buster (my Megaman outfit is incomplete without it ;))

3. City of Villains- Get the Demolitionist/Master at Arms badges.[not goodly :(]

this is tough. I have to kill an Uber-Boss ten times, and set up 25 bombs in an alien-filled mothership raid.

4. BioShock- Successfully pre-order game. [completed!]

yay!

Edited by Evitron on August 6, 2007 at 0:21:49.

Ah... let's see...

Sonic Adventure DX - Getting 130 Emblems (INCOMPLETE):
Eh... I've got all of the emblems except for the Chao races and several of Sonic's A ranks.

Mischief Makers (N64) - Getting all Gold Gems (COMPLETE):
Took forever, because the last one requires an average of an A rank, and some of those levels were rather nasty...

Super Mario 64 - 120 Stars (COMPLETE): I dunno, I suppose it wasn't the worst thing in the world, but it did take me several years... (stupid stupid 100 coin stars...)

Mega Man Battle Network 6 - Finding that last stupid chip I needed (COMPLETE): Wasn't hard or anything, but as I had given the chip to a chip trader, I almost had a heart attack before I found another one.

Mole Mania - Getting perfects on every stage so that you can go to (and beat) the final world. (COMPLETE)

Eh... I don't really think those are the hardest things I've ever done, (except for Sonic, as I haven't done it yet), but these were just what came to mind.

Ninja Gaiden 3.

The One Sin Returns in .Hack G.U. 2 (COMPLETE)
It returns as a level 100 with 8k hp. It's a good 45 minute fight. But nothing like Yiazmat!

1.Megaman Star force: Defeat andromeda using the folder you star out with in the game. (Trying, probably hopelessly)... This is a hell of a lot of loud and angry screaming.

2.Major league Baseball 2K7: THrow a no-hitter on all-star difficulty (Completed) this required Roy Halladay and lots of energy drinks...

3.Star wars Knights of the old republic: Defeat Calo Nord in the cantina instead of later in the game. (Failed continually)...T_T
