Skarrj Posted June 3, 2011 Share Posted June 3, 2011 Not sure if this has been a topic before What achievments were your hardest to obtain? Mine are Headchomper from Alien Hominid and Little Rocketman from Halflife 2. Headchomper took me about 3 hours straight or precision jumping. Carrying that stupid gnome in halflife sounds easier than it really is, little bastard never would stay in the vehicle. I had to launch him accross the map with the gravity gun then hope I could find him on the other side.

+bennybingo Posted June 3, 2011 Share Posted June 3, 2011 I think the most difficult achievement in modern consoles was having to buy a 3rd Xbox 360, after two consecutive RROD's. That was an achievement in stupidity on my part... I'm still glad I went for that achievement, rather than the alternative PS3 option : The "oh my god...hackers cleaned out my bank account" achievement! That one sounds a bit more frustrating...but only a bit!

moycon Posted June 3, 2011 Share Posted June 3, 2011 Most difficult to obtain? That's a tough one, if only because I've been snagging achievements for 5 years now and can't remember them all. Also a lot of achievements are extremely time consuming but I don't know if that is considered hard. For instance. I have the Zombie Genocide achievement (kill 53,000 zombies) in Dead Rising, and it took many hours to get, but wasn't particularly hard. (Except maybe on my ass for sitting so long) Other hard ones I've gotten are achievements in Rumble Roses. That game is a bitch to get achievements on from what I remember. I have like half of them.

+Zeptari Posted June 7, 2011 Share Posted June 7, 2011 My top two i'm post proud of: Burnout Paradise: Criterion Elite achievement 20points Get your Elite License, win every event, find all discoverables and beat every Road Rule! It took me over a year of playing to get this one! Halo:Reach If They Came To Hear Me Beg 25points Performed an Assassination against an Elite to survive a fall that would've been fatal. It took me forever to get this one. I tried every night for 20 minutes before i went in matchmaking games. It's in my file share in reach if anyonewants to see it. I did get 200/200 in pacman champ edition dx.. but that was fun.. and preatty easy... ohh i'm still woring on Reach's:A Monument To All Your Sins achievement. only 3 and a half levels left till i get it.... -rick Quote Link to comment https://forums.atariage.com/topic/182877-your-most-difficult-achievments/#findComment-2296689 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Itchy Koala Posted June 7, 2011 Share Posted June 7, 2011 After around 16,000G I can pick out the ones that took me forever. Leaving out the ones that are just plain tedious: Left 4 Dead Cr0wned - Kill the witch with one single shot. I spent FOREVER trying to get this, she just wouldn't die! Call of Duty 4 Mile High Club Complete the epilogue on veteran difficulty. I think I spent around 3 days on this. I literally got it on what I decided to be my last try. Gears of War Commando Complete all acts on insane difficulty. The fourth chapter is the only reason this wasn't an easy achievement. We must have spent 4-5 days on that chapter alone.

Hyper_Eye Posted June 7, 2011 Share Posted June 7, 2011 Completing CoD2 on veteran was pretty tough. Also, I got through 3 of 4 chapters in Gears on Insane. Then a friend came over to play some coop. Next time I loaded the game up I found that the coop game blew away my progress on insane. I was pretty pissed and decided I wasn't interested in trying again.

Taskmaster99 Posted June 11, 2011 Share Posted June 11, 2011 Left 4 Dead 2 ------------ Gaurdin Gnome (Rescue Gnome Chompski from the Dark Carnival) this one was hard for me. First i had to win him then i had to carry his ass the whole way. Not to mention how many times he had to get chucked so i could fight off the infected. Lost track of him a couple times especially when running the tracks of the Screaming Oak.

I think I got this one, as well as the one in Half Life 2 where you had to launch the gnome at the end of the game, which ment you had to carry him the whole way. Not an easy feat especially since you couldn't actually hold him while driving a vehicle.

Taskmaster99 Posted June 14, 2011 Share Posted June 14, 2011 I gotta tell you(but you probably already know) I have had a hard time with the L4D2 achievements mainly cuz im playing solo and one of the AI teammates always screws it up for me....lol. For example....the one where you have to throw a molotov at a clown leading 10 infected(or is it 15?) I get ready to throw and wouldnt you know.....my AI teammates start shooting from afar before i can even get my throw off. We all gotta get together and knock this out.

Sometimes it's better to just take out your AI members to snag achievements. That's right, kill em all!! I can remember having to do this in particular on the BRIDGE OVER TREBLED SLAUGHTER achievements. Mainly because it's impossible to get otherwise. Poor AI team mates.

More often than not you'll pick up guns with no ammo and get annihilated, but all you need is one successful run.
