@@Snamwichesthe pantheon was brutal, but in terms of time spent and pressure for any mistakes, achieving 7-99 in Spelunky 2 took me about 10x as long to grind out, and a successful run takes 4 hours or so. The whole time a single mistake can end it in an instant. So much pressure. It was the hardest but most fulfilling thing I’ve ever done in a game.
This is literally smart as hell, why? Cause he made a whole video about his own achievements right? But if you’re new to the channel, then you learn a little about each achievement for each game, which in turn, you get a sneak peek at each of Snam’s videos on said topics. He made a self promotion (flex) video…. and I love it. Cause it’s only been a year on the platform but at this point we are here for him, not what he puts out. keep going Snam, you’re doing great. 1 million by halfway through next year, I’m calling it. “oh wait, that’s the wrong game.” -Snam in almost every video. ⚰️🤘🏻🖤
As one of those responsible for you going for the Alien: Isolation achievement…..I’m sorry lol It’s tough, but I got it on Easy difficulty. I cannot IMAGINE doing this on the hardest mode. I hope you get it soon!
just imagine fighting two Goliaths that learns from mistakes he made but instead fighting with sling, you fight with rubber bands and limited marble balls as projectile.
@Snamwiches I was one of the few who did this on ultra nightmare. I had to watch speed runners because they figured out where and when the AI learns new things what triggers the alien and the most optimal routes and uses of your tools. Other than that it's rng
That's one of the ones I never managed. Still bother me. I was near the end I think and there was a crossroad tunnel you had to push down. Died a hundred times at least.
WaW on veteran was the game that stopped me 100% completing Call of Duty games after I completed it haha. I had completed all of them on veteran since CoD 2 (which was also super difficult) but Heart of the Reich was sooooo frustrating, but I was so glad to finally do it. I'd definitely say that one level is harder than Mile High Club by far.
Snam is easily the best difficult achievement hunter on all of UA-cam. This man makes the impossible look doable, all the while making me lose my mind and laugh at the dumbest stuff. Keep up the amazing content! :)
I absolutely love your content. My favorite is easily beating both evil within games on Akumu, it is an absolute blast and makes the game feel scarier and cheesier. And I just noticed alien isolation at the end, love that one as well, those are my two favorite hardest challenges to complete regularly.
honestly i was so happy to see someone do achievements on l4d 1 and 2 it brought back so many memories i had playing those 2 games thank you, also the vidoes have been really enjoyable and intriguing to watch.
That Callisto Protocol Moment was so funny. I remember that one. I love your videos so much keep them coming. This was a great video idea too, gives you some time to have some insight about the games after some times have passed.
I actually found your channel while looking for videos on WAW veteran after I completed my playthrough. It brought me great joy in knowing I was not the only one to not realize the enemies at the end of Heart of the Reich don't infinitely respawn. Keep up the great vids your content is awesome! P.S. I'd like to see a Halo Wars (first one) Legendary run (or LASO if you really want to suffer). I found that game absurdly difficult when going for even just my Legendary playthrough and LASO felt nearly impossible.
Its not in the list of games in this video, but the hardest achievement I have gotten was completing the Call of Duty Black Ops 3 campaign on Realistic difficulty. The achievement is called "No one will believe you" and the reason why it was so tough was that if you got hit there was about a 95% chance it would one shot you or leave you at one health. It was a big issue in the more enemy heavy missions and the multiple boss fights but I believe it was made for 4 player coop but I still ran it solo.
I can feel you on the Metal Gear Solid. Took me around 300 hours over 5 YEARS of on and off play to get the platinum on the game. A good chunk of that spent on getting all S-tiers and completing all side objectives.
How did it take that long? I did it in 170 hours and i even grinded all of the insane op guns that you can get too, and thats on top of me idling my pc during the game
@@RussianZOmBieATTACK I did a ‘casual playthrough’, finishing the game in around 130ish hours (there was a lot of time spent just sandboxing). It was not until I finished that I tried going for the achievements. So I pretty much had to replay every mission, do the remaining side missions etc… I also tried my hardest not to look at guides for the S ranks and side-ops since I enjoyed the “scheming” aspect of planning out my route etc…
@@danielaguilar9011 If you were not using a guide, then i understand the hours it took. I used a guide, and many mission required do overs even with a guide.
Dead Space 2 on Hardcore was a trip. I used my last save right before the final boss because I was afraid of choking the last QTE with the ship (I did😂)
@@Snamwiches I’ve always wanted to try it, cause y’know, I hate myself, any advice for keeping my sanity in the process if I ever finally try to go for it?
@@arthurfleck629 I have spent too many hours of my life thinking about this. Step 1: play through on survivor or zealot to jog your memory of the game! Try out different weapons to see what you like, take note of spots you struggle on to potentially make saves for in HC, and get good at using statsis, and cutting blades off necromorphs to fire back at them. Practice catching puker and spitter spit and throwing it back at them! General combat tip: Stalkers can only come at you one at a time, and the one that’s attacking will howl before running at you, so be alert and you’ll never get hit!! Also, that super hard section where Ellie is trying to unlock the door and you’re fighting off waves of necromorphs? Literally just run around in circles and don’t kill anything. The initial wave is kids, and you can outrun them. If you don’t kill any, more won’t spawn in. (inLove!! Posted a no damage zealot run playthrough I studied for my HC run, and this blew my mind) Hell, I strongly recommend that video, the level of play gives you some good ideas of how to master this game Stick to plasma cutter and one other gun. The Javelin gun is a great pick because it does a ton of damage and it’s alt fire is great crowd control for kids. Stasis is KING and should be upgraded and used liberally. Enemies in this game are designed to be fast and overwhelming, so slow ‘em down a bit😈😈I’ve done HC with just plasma cutter and stasis (well, until the end) At the end of the game, respec your second weapon to buy and upgrade a CONTACT BEAM. The AOE alt fire with stasis trivializes the government sector, and the main fire is insane damage. You can see these weapon choices in the playthrough I mentioned putting in WORK. If you’re playing on any Xbox console, you also get 4* saves. The original 360 version had two discs, and at Chapter 7 the game is programmed with a fixed save for that transition. This works on Series X, S, Xbox One, all of ‘em. My saves were chapter 7*, before drill ride, before eye machine, and the last save station right outside the boss fight My saves are way different than what’s normally recommended but that’s why I say to play it and see what you struggle with the most! I thought Snam’s saves were kooky as hell, as he would think mine, but we both got the job done. And most importantly, HAVE FUN, I am confident in saying this is the best game ever made, it is an absolute treat even on a frustrating challenge run.
Great idea for a tier list! I think the achievement I'm most proud of is Stampers Forever for Rare Replay. While it's not the hardest achievement, it's the one that I spent the most time getting. Having to play the older games from the ZX Spectrum (If the cheats disabled achievements, I'd never have finished the achievement), to finding appreciation for games like Jetforce Gemini or Banjo Kazooie: Nuts & Bolts. Although Perfect Dark Zero was a rough point in Stampers Forever because of how you had to grind out multiplayer bot matches to get the 750g required for all the stamps. Here's to another year, and so glad I discovered your channel.
So the funny thing about alien isolation without dying is I got it by total accident. I was playing on nightmare and instead of letting the alien kill me when I know I'm dead I would revert to last save, so because I did that every time and never actually died I managed to get it
I don't see many people talking about it here - congrats on radiant godhome man. That thing is brutal. Honestly my most annoying boss to radiant was actually the Obblobbles.
Well I thought the tier list was gonna include how fun they were to attempt, but that wasn't it, which means we need ANOTHER tier list. Love your content ❤️
Man. I have to agree with placement of Bioshock Infinite. I did this achievement a month ago because I was doing whole series 100% and my God this achievement was a nightmare. I was about to rage quit it out of just pure annoyance but I am glad I push through this horrible achievement. Like 1999 difficulty feels like baby mode compare to this one. I manged to do entire L4D2 100% on Steam. Didn't do solo expert but still that game is hard as hell. Congrats on doing it solo. Other one I did 100% was Portal 2 being my second ever 100% after Portal 1. That one wasn't hard really but again gotta give credit for trying solo. I can't really comment on other games since I haven't done them 100% but all I can say is that the list is impressive. I can't wait for Super Meat Boy Devil May Cry 5 and everything else you do. Keep up the good work!
Great video Snam and congrats for one year on UA-cam! I only started watching your content two months ago but let me just say that I love it. Watching all of your suffering and triumphs has managed to inspire me to get back into achievement/trophy hunting after a long break due to college (I’m currently working on Dragon Ball Xenoverse 2 and plan to soon finish all the VR missions in Metal Gear Rising). Also, as someone who loves hack and slashes let me just say that I’m hyped to see you get all S-Ranks in DMC 5. I wish you the best of luck in that endeavor, alongside Wolfenstein 2, and can’t wait to see what achievement you manage to conquer next!
As someone who watches every vid but doesn't have the most amazing memory I really appreciate you editing in clips and references to vods instead of just talking head over the tier list
Hey Snam, the Callisto protocol got some new updates and new achievements along with a harder difficulty and permadeath! Should give the new ones a go :) Love the vids
I did the Mile High Club achievement back when COD 4 came out. It was so frustrating, and I just got lucky spamming grenades in different places and creeping forward. I think there was a mission where I had to protect someone, and I remember placing him underneath something and luckily it helped to save him. What sucks is that I didn't know what achievements were, so I got the achievement on my brother's Xbox 360, and when I finally got my own console, I didn't even bother transferring the gamertag to my own Xbox 360, so my achievement is lost forever. I do have the remake of the game on my Series S, so I may try it again. Maybe.
I just recently got the Dead Rising platinum. One my my favorite childhood games, always wanted to platinum it. I was able to get the 7 Day Survivor trophy on the first try- thankfully
I’ve done quite a few of these achievements myself, including Left 4 Dead 2 expert realism (with one friend) and all radiance in Hollow Knight, and I just wanted to say that I 1000% agree with your take on all radiance. I’ve been playing hard games for 20 years, and nothing comes close to radiance-difficulty Absolute Radiance. Even after beating all other radiance fights and steel soul 100%, it still took two weeks, three hours a night, to beat AbsRad once. Hearing you express your own struggle with AbsRad made me relive that insane dopamine rush from my own victory against that beast. One thing I’d add to your justification on AbsRad is that the bastard screams at you and flashbangs you with a bright white title card before *every single attempt.* It made the grind so much harder than other fights, like built in sensory depravation before being thrown to a shark. That said, if anybody out there is gearing up for their own steel soul 100% run, I would strongly recommend actually giving radiance or attuned runs in the pantheon a try first. Bosses are the main (and basically the only) choke points in the run, so practicing harder versions of the bosses than what you’ll face will make steel soul pretty doable, easy even. Remember as well that the “fragile charms” are very powerful in steel soul because death is off the table anyway. Best of luck!
Honestly, the fact you did Ethan Must Die and Hell of a Sheriff on controller too is a real testament cause i mean im a fairly experienced gamer and i struggled with them on MnK, love the content and am excited for the Re6 vid
I love the pride the rises in snams voice when he explains the challenge he did to beat it takes two. Me and my girlfriend hated the level with the angler fish so I could only imagine doing it by yourself.
I actually quite enjoyed Akumu, had about 3 or 4 playthroughs and decided to go for it and aside from a few breakpoints, the key ones being the start, cabin and the gondola. It was quite simple, I'd probably put it high b or low A personally. My S tier achievement recommendation for you would be LASO Halo MCC, that was a journey of pain for myself.
I don't know why, but I really like your work and style, and you are one of the few You Tubers that I have been following since I found you. I wish you the best
Oh man, I was so sure Pantheon 5 would be an automatic S-tier, that is a brutal achievement. I think you have a warped view of it due to playing it for so many months getting those zero hit boss runs done :P. Nice list though, I’ve got a few of the higher ones.
Doing every boss on Radiant in Hollow Knight definitely took some years off my life. Most of them weren’t too bad imo, but Radiant Absolute Radiance and Markoth were insane. The only thing that I’d put above that was doing everything in Doom Eternal on Ultra Nightmare without any super weapons or chaingun shield. All campaigns and all Master Levels. That was a several month long affair.
Currently throwing myself at the wall that is Radiant Absolute Radiance It’s honestly stupid how hard it is, it makes Radiant Markoth, Radiant GPZ and Radiant Obblobles look easy
My hardest "Trophy" (yes, I'm a PS4 player) is Mein Leben. This is pure hell with unskippable cutscenes but if you know the game, it should be easier, but it's still long and stressful (it took me at least 16th try for a 3 hours game non-stop with no save). But in a certain way, that can be pretty fun. And good luck for this achivement.
As a fellow achievement/trophy hunter, I know first hand for a few just how much of an achievement getting them is. Also plan on going for a few of these, and the way you talk about and describe them makes me excited to go for em myself, great vid man keep em coming.
Hollow Knight being featured 3 times, speaks volumes about the game (2x A and one S). It is meant to be that hard. I have been speedrunning this game for over 2 years now. As a Pantheon Specialist who has done all sorts of no-hit challenges, I can say that It is absolutely brutal and unforgiving, and that's what I love about it. Super Hard but fair. I love showing off my 112% Steelheart save with all people still in Dirtmouth, all Radiant Pantheons, and Hall of God fights. Hat off to you old chap. Snam became a real Knight and a better Gamer through those challenges.
Amazing tier list Snam, thank you for all the fun videos to watch over the last year. Also, how did I miss the all radiance challenge? Gonna watch that now, thanks!
That was before UA-cam unfortunately so the footage doesn’t exist besides a few clips remaining on twitch. Super bummed about it but maybe I’ll do something like it again with Silksong!
I enjoy Dead Space 2 so thoroughly, that I replay Hard To The Core every so often. It’s literally just playing the game, and not even on the most difficult settings. Max upgrades on The Pulse Gun and Line Gun, with Contact Gun equipped just to sell its ammo. And choosing your save points is crucial. Don’t save too early. But go ahead and wait for your third save for right before the Eye machine. I feel like if you love that game, it’s the best way to play. You have second highest difficulty enemies, highest difficulty resources, and a less arduous permadeath. Love it.
I’m genuinely glad I found your channel, never thought that one day I’ll enjoy watching an achievement hunter, last time i tried watching similar content was many years ago, and I’m really having fun watching you play dude, keep up the good work, can’t wait for Wolfenstein 2 !
About your comment on Gears of War being easier with a friend, a few years ago a friend and I decided to play every installment together on Insane. Playing with a friend is useful as long as your friend isn't ass at Gears, which he was, and it took us 6 months to beat all 5 mainline games and Judgement. It was a complete hair pulling nightmare. We then decided to do Halo 2 on co-op with 8 skulls on, which took another 4 months. I'm not even going to bother describing that. Also about Alien: Isolation, playing on PS4 my main problems were fighting the weird controls and frame drops, not the enemies.
I usually find these tierlist videos to be exceptionally boring. Well, you got the achievement for making one that's super entertaining as well! Good luck on future runs! Really looking forward to the DMC5 one.
I've done a few of these myself. I'd probably have to say for me personally, the L4D campaigns were the hardest. My wife and I clapped all them eventually. But I also hear playing co-op is harder since there are a lot of exploits you can't do.
I have been watching you over the last couple of months and watched all of you videos. Well done my friend. I am no achievement hunter but I do complete every game a play and do not have the patience to go back and reply usually. I admire your persistence and efforts! ❤
I know exactly what DMC 5 achievement you will go after. And I wish you good luck. Also, I recommend a tough Achievement. From Darkest Dungeon, "In the old road, we found our redemption", for finishing the game and taking the starting characters the game gives you to the final battle. That, or the one for beating "Stygian mode".
@@bumblorsanchez8982 yeah that was my first thought, i almost shot myself right in-between my eyes playing the game with my sister, can't imagine controlling the both characters alone
I achievement hunt and in all honesty the hardest and longest achievements that I have ever gotten are seriously 3.0 for gears of war 3 and seriously 5.0 chapter 2, I don't recommend doing it unless if you are a huge fan of the series
You should at some point attempt Dead God from the binding of Isaac. Not only is it somewhat tedious but it is a fun and extremely difficult challenge depending on if you’re able to master the mechanics of certain characters
You have to do the achievement in just cause 3, requiring you to get 5 gears in every single challenge. It’s super fun; but there are a couple that are super frustrating but satisfying when you finish them.
Hey btw 18:36 to unlock the achievement you do 1 campaign with realism and expert i think you got confused with something to prove which you had to do all 4 campaigns on expert no realism but if you did it for personal gain that’s cool :)
I’m glad UA-cam recommended your videos to me from the start. I look forward to much more suffering, and if you do achievements with viewers, I volunteer as tribute!
The Hell of a Sheriff one was a funny one for me. I bought a bunch of beer, ordered some wings and was prepared to spend the entire day working on it, only to beat it my first attempt of the day
I relate to the Bots in LFD2 being difficult to work with on a spiritual level. The bots in LFD2 are literally so dumb 99% of the time, and love to purposefully mess you up. Yesterday I did a run of Advanced Parish (not good enough to do Expert yet, but getting there quickly), and the bots basically let themselves die right before the Helicopter, so I just had to leave them behind and run to the Chopper. I remember one time in LFD1 that I got Smoker'd, and the Bots just stared at me until I literally died before doing anything. Bots are an experience lol.
I’m so surprised at how highly he thinks of Steel Heart’s difficulty. I did it first try, and even met the qualifications for Speed Completion as well. It’s especially interesting because you would not believe how hard it was for me just to get to the fifth pantheon. I was stuck on Sage for so long. I’m sure it comes down to a difference in play style, but still interesting nonetheless.
The big difference for me is that I did steel heart like 6 months after not playing whereas I did panth 5 right after beating all the bosses on one hit death mode. I definitely have a unique perspective on it 😅
Play some halo and come back to this. The MCC is a beast of its own so play the individual games themselfs… I 100% reach prior to dlcs releases adding multiplayer achievements, 100% combat evolved remastered, only needed a couple scoring achievements on firefight maps in odst, and I’ve had 2 different accounts get less then 10 achievements left in halo 3(79 achievements to complete)… The real challenge are the 6 vid master achievements between halo3 and odst…which was the only way to get recon armor back then.
This is a great idea ranking achievements :D Only done 3 from this list Left 4 Dead (Steam version) Gears Of War 1 (360 version) Resident Evil 2 Remake (PS4 version) Out of those 3 I'd say Gears 1 was hardest judging from all the deaths you would have in seconds, just remembering makes me shiver.
With l4d2, the bots and director are cringe. But your positioning is the biggest thing. You really want something solid at your back when hordes rush. And special infected are either luck or quick reactions. Also, melee weapons are damn near mandatory for frowd control.
As a proud recipient of Embrace the Void from Hollow Knight, I can effectively say that challenge is NO JOKE. While it only took me about 30 hours from start to end to finish the Godhome portion of the game, (About 15 or so for Pantheon V) there are few experiences in gaming quite like it. Still my console wallpaper to this day :)
Oh man I really wish you had a Celeste video out there for me to watch. Hands down one of my favourite games. If you wanted to torture yourself even more, the Farewell expansion is some of the hardest but most rewarding content in the entire game, and adds a bunch of new gameplay elements and introduces yet another ‘new’ mechanic that’s entirely based off the core move set. There aren’t any trophies for it unfortunately though, only on the PC version I believe! But it’s still 100% worth giving a shot
I think this video is a testament to how “hard” trophies and achievements have their rarities inflated by either a very large player base who doesn’t care about achievements, or are simply either tedious or time consuming. In any case congrats on all the hard stuff you did, insane to do both l4d games solo on the highest difficuties, and hollow knight requires you to literally transcend your human form to even attempt going for 100%

Step 1: play through on survivor or zealot to jog your memory of the game! Try out different weapons to see what you like, take note of spots you struggle on to potentially make saves for in HC, and get good at using statsis, and cutting blades off necromorphs to fire back at them. Practice catching puker and spitter spit and throwing it back at them!

Also, that super hard section where Ellie is trying to unlock the door and you’re fighting off waves of necromorphs? Literally just run around in circles and don’t kill anything. The initial wave is kids, and you can outrun them. If you don’t kill any, more won’t spawn in. (inLove!! Posted a no damage zealot run playthrough I studied for my HC run, and this blew my mind)
Hell, I strongly recommend that video, the level of play gives you some good ideas of how to master this game
Stick to plasma cutter and one other gun. The Javelin gun is a great pick because it does a ton of damage and it’s alt fire is great crowd control for kids. Stasis is KING and should be upgraded and used liberally. Enemies in this game are designed to be fast and overwhelming, so slow ‘em down a bit😈😈I’ve done HC with just plasma cutter and stasis (well, until the end)
At the end of the game, respec your second weapon to buy and upgrade a CONTACT BEAM. The AOE alt fire with stasis trivializes the government sector, and the main fire is insane damage. You can see these weapon choices in the playthrough I mentioned putting in WORK.
If you’re playing on any Xbox console, you also get 4* saves. The original 360 version had two discs, and at Chapter 7 the game is programmed with a fixed save for that transition. This works on Series X, S, Xbox One, all of ‘em. My saves were chapter 7*, before drill ride, before eye machine, and the last save station right outside the boss fight
My saves are way different than what’s normally recommended but that’s why I say to play it and see what you struggle with the most! I thought Snam’s saves were kooky as hell, as he would think mine, but we both got the job done.
And most importantly, HAVE FUN, I am confident in saying this is the best game ever made, it is an absolute treat even on a frustrating challenge run.
DS2 on hardcore was easy af. Not sure how people had trouble on it. Zealot can go to hell tho.
@@CrabbyCakes702I got platinum and beat DS2 hardcore within a week of the game releasing
Great idea for a tier list! I think the achievement I'm most proud of is Stampers Forever for Rare Replay. While it's not the hardest achievement, it's the one that I spent the most time getting. Having to play the older games from the ZX Spectrum (If the cheats disabled achievements, I'd never have finished the achievement), to finding appreciation for games like Jetforce Gemini or Banjo Kazooie: Nuts & Bolts. Although Perfect Dark Zero was a rough point in Stampers Forever because of how you had to grind out multiplayer bot matches to get the 750g required for all the stamps. Here's to another year, and so glad I discovered your channel.
Damn, starting Rare Replay is brave based on what I’ve heard. Congrats on the accomplishment!
Please attempt to go for Battlefield 3’s Bullseye trophy, it would make a really good video honestly
I don’t remember that trophy, what do you need to do to unlock it?
@@arthurfleck629have to rescue all hostages without alerting any enemies in the mission Drop ‘em like liquid
So the funny thing about alien isolation without dying is I got it by total accident. I was playing on nightmare and instead of letting the alien kill me when I know I'm dead I would revert to last save, so because I did that every time and never actually died I managed to get it
Yeah haha, that cheese is how I got the achievement one of the two times I unlocked it. Not gonna say no to doing it the smart way haha
That's so smart lmao 😂 I sometimes subconsciously pause the game out of fear when the Alien is coming at me and do the same thing 🤣
Snam got me into achievement hunting and its been a lot of fun, love the channel snam!
I don't see many people talking about it here - congrats on radiant godhome man. That thing is brutal. Honestly my most annoying boss to radiant was actually the Obblobbles.
YES! After all my hampering on you doing DMC 5 it's finally gonna happen! So glad I found your channel man. Can't wait for the future videos!
Well I thought the tier list was gonna include how fun they were to attempt, but that wasn't it, which means we need ANOTHER tier list. Love your content ❤️
As someone who is currently working on Left 4 Dead 2.
All I can say is.. Yes.
I love this recap of all you've done so far on stream. Good tier list.
Back in the day, I placed 10 or 11 in the world for mile high club on veteran difficulty. Shit took part of my soul to get that
Sheeeeeeesh that’s crazy impressive though
@@Snamwiches not as impressive as your patience with some of your achievements 😂 god like patience you have lmao
Man. I have to agree with placement of Bioshock Infinite.
I did this achievement a month ago because I was doing whole series 100% and my God this achievement was a nightmare. I was about to rage quit it out of just pure annoyance but I am glad I push through this horrible achievement. Like 1999 difficulty feels like baby mode compare to this one.
I manged to do entire L4D2 100% on Steam. Didn't do solo expert but still that game is hard as hell. Congrats on doing it solo.
Other one I did 100% was Portal 2 being my second ever 100% after Portal 1. That one wasn't hard really but again gotta give credit for trying solo.
I can't really comment on other games since I haven't done them 100% but all I can say is that the list is impressive.
I can't wait for Super Meat Boy
Devil May Cry 5 and everything else you do. Keep up the good work!
Great video Snam and congrats for one year on UA-cam! I only started watching your content two months ago but let me just say that I love it. Watching all of your suffering and triumphs has managed to inspire me to get back into achievement/trophy hunting after a long break due to college (I’m currently working on Dragon Ball Xenoverse 2 and plan to soon finish all the VR missions in Metal Gear Rising). Also, as someone who loves hack and slashes let me just say that I’m hyped to see you get all S-Ranks in DMC 5. I wish you the best of luck in that endeavor, alongside Wolfenstein 2, and can’t wait to see what achievement you manage to conquer next!
Sheeesh good luck with MGR, looking forward to doing that myself sometime too!
Snam, you are a true hero of the achievement hunting community
As someone who watches every vid but doesn't have the most amazing memory I really appreciate you editing in clips and references to vods instead of just talking head over the tier list
The L4D2 playthrough is probably my favorite video on this channel.
Halo MC LASO might be an S tier if you get around to it. Absolutely brutal
Hey Snam, the Callisto protocol got some new updates and new achievements along with a harder difficulty and permadeath! Should give the new ones a go :) Love the vids
Probably gonna wait for all the DLC to come out first, but very down to revisit it!
I did the Mile High Club achievement back when COD 4 came out. It was so frustrating, and I just got lucky spamming grenades in different places and creeping forward. I think there was a mission where I had to protect someone, and I remember placing him underneath something and luckily it helped to save him. What sucks is that I didn't know what achievements were, so I got the achievement on my brother's Xbox 360, and when I finally got my own console, I didn't even bother transferring the gamertag to my own Xbox 360, so my achievement is lost forever. I do have the remake of the game on my Series S, so I may try it again. Maybe.
I just recently got the Dead Rising platinum. One my my favorite childhood games, always wanted to platinum it. I was able to get the 7 Day Survivor trophy on the first try- thankfully
Would be great to see a follow up to this video with the new achievements added to the list
Great video but I noticed you didn’t rank the press start achievement from The Simpsons Game??
Some things are too hard even for me 😞
I’ve done quite a few of these achievements myself, including Left 4 Dead 2 expert realism (with one friend) and all radiance in Hollow Knight, and I just wanted to say that I 1000% agree with your take on all radiance. I’ve been playing hard games for 20 years, and nothing comes close to radiance-difficulty Absolute Radiance. Even after beating all other radiance fights and steel soul 100%, it still took two weeks, three hours a night, to beat AbsRad once. Hearing you express your own struggle with AbsRad made me relive that insane dopamine rush from my own victory against that beast.
One thing I’d add to your justification on AbsRad is that the bastard screams at you and flashbangs you with a bright white title card before *every single attempt.* It made the grind so much harder than other fights, like built in sensory depravation before being thrown to a shark.
That said, if anybody out there is gearing up for their own steel soul 100% run, I would strongly recommend actually giving radiance or attuned runs in the pantheon a try first. Bosses are the main (and basically the only) choke points in the run, so practicing harder versions of the bosses than what you’ll face will make steel soul pretty doable, easy even. Remember as well that the “fragile charms” are very powerful in steel soul because death is off the table anyway. Best of luck!
Honestly, the fact you did Ethan Must Die and Hell of a Sheriff on controller too is a real testament cause i mean im a fairly experienced gamer and i struggled with them on MnK, love the content and am excited for the Re6 vid
I love the pride the rises in snams voice when he explains the challenge he did to beat it takes two. Me and my girlfriend hated the level with the angler fish so I could only imagine doing it by yourself.
I actually quite enjoyed Akumu, had about 3 or 4 playthroughs and decided to go for it and aside from a few breakpoints, the key ones being the start, cabin and the gondola. It was quite simple, I'd probably put it high b or low A personally.
My S tier achievement recommendation for you would be LASO Halo MCC, that was a journey of pain for myself.
L4d2 expert on realism is hell, took me 2 days to beat one campaign with 3 friends. Can’t imagine doing it by yourself
I don't know why, but I really like your work and style, and you are one of the few You Tubers that I have been following since I found you. I wish you the best
Oh man, I was so sure Pantheon 5 would be an automatic S-tier, that is a brutal achievement. I think you have a warped view of it due to playing it for so many months getting those zero hit boss runs done :P.
Nice list though, I’ve got a few of the higher ones.
I truly think I’m the only person in the world that thinks of Panth 5 that way. Bosses were soooo easy after beating them on radiant
Doing every boss on Radiant in Hollow Knight definitely took some years off my life. Most of them weren’t too bad imo, but Radiant Absolute Radiance and Markoth were insane.
The only thing that I’d put above that was doing everything in Doom Eternal on Ultra Nightmare without any super weapons or chaingun shield. All campaigns and all Master Levels. That was a several month long affair.
Radiant Radiance took me longer than all the other bosses combined 😭 Also holy shit grats on the crazy Doom challenge too!
Currently throwing myself at the wall that is Radiant Absolute Radiance
It’s honestly stupid how hard it is, it makes Radiant Markoth, Radiant GPZ and Radiant Obblobles look easy
If your reading this on 05/31 recently after publish, Snam is live on Twitch.
My hardest "Trophy" (yes, I'm a PS4 player) is Mein Leben. This is pure hell with unskippable cutscenes but if you know the game, it should be easier, but it's still long and stressful (it took me at least 16th try for a 3 hours game non-stop with no save). But in a certain way, that can be pretty fun.
And good luck for this achivement.
As a fellow achievement/trophy hunter, I know first hand for a few just how much of an achievement getting them is. Also plan on going for a few of these, and the way you talk about and describe them makes me excited to go for em myself, great vid man keep em coming.
Hollow Knight being featured 3 times, speaks volumes about the game (2x A and one S). It is meant to be that hard.
I have been speedrunning this game for over 2 years now. As a Pantheon Specialist who has done all sorts of no-hit challenges, I can say that It is absolutely brutal and unforgiving, and that's what I love about it. Super Hard but fair.
I love showing off my 112% Steelheart save with all people still in Dirtmouth, all Radiant Pantheons, and Hall of God fights. Hat off to you old chap.
Snam became a real Knight and a better Gamer through those challenges.
Amazing tier list Snam, thank you for all the fun videos to watch over the last year.
Also, how did I miss the all radiance challenge? Gonna watch that now, thanks!
That was before UA-cam unfortunately so the footage doesn’t exist besides a few clips remaining on twitch. Super bummed about it but maybe I’ll do something like it again with Silksong!
I enjoy Dead Space 2 so thoroughly, that I replay Hard To The Core every so often. It’s literally just playing the game, and not even on the most difficult settings. Max upgrades on The Pulse Gun and Line Gun, with Contact Gun equipped just to sell its ammo. And choosing your save points is crucial. Don’t save too early. But go ahead and wait for your third save for right before the Eye machine. I feel like if you love that game, it’s the best way to play. You have second highest difficulty enemies, highest difficulty resources, and a less arduous permadeath. Love it.
I’m genuinely glad I found your channel, never thought that one day I’ll enjoy watching an achievement hunter, last time i tried watching similar content was many years ago, and I’m really having fun watching you play dude, keep up the good work, can’t wait for Wolfenstein 2 !
If you ever attempt Halo MCC, you will give it its own tier.
I tried expert realism once I’m never ever going to put myself through that again. I salute the fact that you didn’t give up
About your comment on Gears of War being easier with a friend, a few years ago a friend and I decided to play every installment together on Insane.
Playing with a friend is useful as long as your friend isn't ass at Gears, which he was, and it took us 6 months to beat all 5 mainline games and Judgement. It was a complete hair pulling nightmare.
We then decided to do Halo 2 on co-op with 8 skulls on, which took another 4 months. I'm not even going to bother describing that.
Also about Alien: Isolation, playing on PS4 my main problems were fighting the weird controls and frame drops, not the enemies.
I usually find these tierlist videos to be exceptionally boring.
Well, you got the achievement for making one that's super entertaining as well!
Good luck on future runs! Really looking forward to the DMC5 one.
I've done a few of these myself. I'd probably have to say for me personally, the L4D campaigns were the hardest. My wife and I clapped all them eventually. But I also hear playing co-op is harder since there are a lot of exploits you can't do.
Halo LASO would be S tier. you should try it
I have been watching you over the last couple of months and watched all of you videos. Well done my friend. I am no achievement hunter but I do complete every game a play and do not have the patience to go back and reply usually. I admire your persistence and efforts! ❤
I know exactly what DMC 5 achievement you will go after. And I wish you good luck. Also, I recommend a tough Achievement.
From Darkest Dungeon, "In the old road, we found our redemption", for finishing the game and taking the starting characters the game gives you to the final battle. That, or the one for beating "Stygian mode".
Why on earth would someone play it takes two by themselves?
Why not?
Because...it takes one
You can do that?
6:30 oh I see
@@bumblorsanchez8982 yeah that was my first thought, i almost shot myself right in-between my eyes playing the game with my sister, can't imagine controlling the both characters alone
Congrats on the channel dude. Been here from the start!
Give lost planet 1 all medals on extreme a go that was insane
"I suck at video games."
*beat every Hollow Knight boss on Radiant*
That's no small feat, and means you definitely don't suck at video games. (=
I achievement hunt and in all honesty the hardest and longest achievements that I have ever gotten are seriously 3.0 for gears of war 3 and seriously 5.0 chapter 2, I don't recommend doing it unless if you are a huge fan of the series
Bro please use a dark background that whole white border is a constant flashbang
You should at some point attempt Dead God from the binding of Isaac. Not only is it somewhat tedious but it is a fun and extremely difficult challenge depending on if you’re able to master the mechanics of certain characters
You have to do the achievement in just cause 3, requiring you to get 5 gears in every single challenge. It’s super fun; but there are a couple that are super frustrating but satisfying when you finish them.
Hey btw 18:36 to unlock the achievement you do 1 campaign with realism and expert i think you got confused with something to prove which you had to do all 4 campaigns on expert no realism but if you did it for personal gain that’s cool :)
I’m glad UA-cam recommended your videos to me from the start. I look forward to much more suffering, and if you do achievements with viewers, I volunteer as tribute!
I can't wait to see you play Gears of War 3 and Gears of War Judgement on Insane Difficulty.
I remember beating Dead Space 1 and 2 on Hardcore. It’s a relief when it’s finally over.
Haven't watched it yet and I know you did a good job on this one 👍
Ayy I’ll take it LOL
Snam: S tier is looking a little bare
Me: oh Snam you aren't ready for the dunwall city trial achievements (on xbox)
The Hell of a Sheriff one was a funny one for me. I bought a bunch of beer, ordered some wings and was prepared to spend the entire day working on it, only to beat it my first attempt of the day
highly underated chanel here, love your content so much i have binged all of it now, hope to catch you streaming one day keep it up snam!!
I relate to the Bots in LFD2 being difficult to work with on a spiritual level. The bots in LFD2 are literally so dumb 99% of the time, and love to purposefully mess you up. Yesterday I did a run of Advanced Parish (not good enough to do Expert yet, but getting there quickly), and the bots basically let themselves die right before the Helicopter, so I just had to leave them behind and run to the Chopper. I remember one time in LFD1 that I got Smoker'd, and the Bots just stared at me until I literally died before doing anything. Bots are an experience lol.
I’ve got the devil may cry 5 platinum and honestly it was one of the most fulfilling trophies I have ever got
I’m so surprised at how highly he thinks of Steel Heart’s difficulty. I did it first try, and even met the qualifications for Speed Completion as well. It’s especially interesting because you would not believe how hard it was for me just to get to the fifth pantheon. I was stuck on Sage for so long. I’m sure it comes down to a difference in play style, but still interesting nonetheless.
The big difference for me is that I did steel heart like 6 months after not playing whereas I did panth 5 right after beating all the bosses on one hit death mode. I definitely have a unique perspective on it 😅
@@Snamwiches Good lord yeah no wonder P5 was easier; you had the literal best prep available
Many of those bosses, especially Pure Vessel, I found so fun that I didn't mind burning so much time prepping to tear them down.
Play some halo and come back to this. The MCC is a beast of its own so play the individual games themselfs…
I 100% reach prior to dlcs releases adding multiplayer achievements, 100% combat evolved remastered, only needed a couple scoring achievements on firefight maps in odst, and I’ve had 2 different accounts get less then 10 achievements left in halo 3(79 achievements to complete)…
The real challenge are the 6 vid master achievements between halo3 and odst…which was the only way to get recon armor back then.
This is a great idea ranking achievements :D Only done 3 from this list
Left 4 Dead (Steam version)
Gears Of War 1 (360 version)
Resident Evil 2 Remake (PS4 version)
Out of those 3 I'd say Gears 1 was hardest judging from all the deaths you would have in seconds, just remembering makes me shiver.
Look forward to seeing the next tier list in a year.
Also looking forward to Mein Leben. Feel free to hit me up for tip and tricks if need be.
Aye eye sir 🫡
With l4d2, the bots and director are cringe. But your positioning is the biggest thing. You really want something solid at your back when hordes rush. And special infected are either luck or quick reactions. Also, melee weapons are damn near mandatory for frowd control.
As a proud recipient of Embrace the Void from Hollow Knight, I can effectively say that challenge is NO JOKE. While it only took me about 30 hours from start to end to finish the Godhome portion of the game, (About 15 or so for Pantheon V) there are few experiences in gaming quite like it. Still my console wallpaper to this day :)
Love you Snam!! Here's to more great content:)
Oh man I really wish you had a Celeste video out there for me to watch. Hands down one of my favourite games. If you wanted to torture yourself even more, the Farewell expansion is some of the hardest but most rewarding content in the entire game, and adds a bunch of new gameplay elements and introduces yet another ‘new’ mechanic that’s entirely based off the core move set. There aren’t any trophies for it unfortunately though, only on the PC version I believe! But it’s still 100% worth giving a shot
I like this guy
Does tough challenges
Damn near unbreakable spirit
Looks like that angel from supernatural
This gives me hope for myself to complete several of the games I haven't on this list. Akumu mode and MGSV are the most daunting.
I'm proud to have accomplished the Left for dead 2 achievement. I also completed World at War on veteran difficulty for fun when I was 8.
You're such a dude! Channel is blwoing up and its amazing to see! 😁
Huge respect for completing DS2 hardcore
legit tried to platinum alien isolation and gave up on the zero deaths trophy, you are truly built different Snam
Some of these are absolutely insane and the fact you get them all with a smile on your face is even more impressive xD
I think this video is a testament to how “hard” trophies and achievements have their rarities inflated by either a very large player base who doesn’t care about achievements, or are simply either tedious or time consuming. In any case congrats on all the hard stuff you did, insane to do both l4d games solo on the highest difficuties, and hollow knight requires you to literally transcend your human form to even attempt going for 100%
Wow, it's been this many games already?
Thank you for shaving years off your lifespan for our entertainment good sir!
2:50 I don't know, having hope for the majority just to have it ripped from you in the final seconds can be pretty brutal.
