How many of these trophies caused you trouble? Was it Gasmoxian Slug in Crash Team Racing: Nitro Fueled? Can't Cat-ch Me in Stray? Or perhaps it was The Flapmaster in Goat Simulator? Let us know in the comments and please add your own suggestions!
Those sneaky, clever devs just couldn't let us cruise to the platinum, could they? For more tales of our trophy tribulations, catch up on these Friday Features:

For me, it's any game that has a trophy for playing online with friends. I don't have any of those
Yeah... I'd love to finish up Far Cry 4, but I'm to afraid to join a random to get the 3 multiplayer trophys and my friends don't play Far Cry games... so I've been stuck.
Any time a single player game requires you to play the online version to get platinum, especially if it's artificially hard by requiring you to play like 500 hours to get the trophies is straight up bullshit. I'm not even really a trophy hunter, but I don't think any single player game should have any online trophies. What if the online is dead, or the servers don't exist anymore, well too bad, no trophy for you
@@WarriorOfTheHeavens the exact same situation for me with Far Cry 5
@@WarriorOfTheHeavenswell I have good news for you... they shut down the servers a few months ago so you can't get them anyway.
@@chrismaxwell2274 Oh you... and know I need a kick up the butt to get them done and out of the way. I do think the PVP trophy on Far Cry 4 might still be bugged so... yeah I don't have much faith to go on anyway. :/
Still waiting for " Hello, you caught me cleaning out my underpants. Here are 7 jump scares in video games that almost make you soil yourself" Dave Edition.
Please make this list.
Amnesia: The Dark Descent better be on it.
Also, slight correction, but he would say “knickers,” not “underpants.”
That is a great idea for a list name, with or without Dave
"Adopt a child, have a birthday; mourn the deceased!"🤣🤣

Powerwash simulator is anything but relaxing. It's satisfying......in the most frustrating of ways. DO NOT play it before bed as you'll be powerwashing unsuccessfully in your sleep. :)
My CTR platinum is one of my hardest earned and one I'm very proud of. My Powerwash Sim platinum was a very fun one...until the challenges -.-
CTR for me too probably my hardest plat
Fector's Challenge in Stardew Valley must be my hardest trophy in an otherwise very relaxing game. 😢
Hello, you've caught me scoffing some wheat crunchies and enjoying another of Rob's masterful Friday Features. 👌👍
You should try Dreamies® brands treats. "Dreamies®: They're just what the somnologist ordered!"
Can’t Cat-ch Me from Stray was crazy hard for a game that mostly about chilling as a cat. That one took a while and I got it just before giving up
I'm disabled due to severe mental illness - I don't play multiplayer games because they're very stressful for me and I play games to relax. So my end boss of difficult trophies in otherwise easy games is multiplayer trophies in primarily single player games. 😭 I'm looking at you in particular, GTA V and Red Dead Redemption 2.
Lords of Waterdeep here. That one that requires you to do something that is very hard to pull off in multiplayer. Gave up on it. Only one that keeps it from being complete (steam game)
@@edwardrhoads7283 Yeah it's even more annoying when they make them *difficult* multiplayer trophies. Or ones that require a ton of grinding.
Multiplayer trophies should be not needed for platinum (on PS anyway).
I remember going to Goat Simulator for an easy platinum and then crashing and burning when I got to the flappy bird mini game. Still not got it years later 😢
For me it's Freeflow Gold and Freeflow 40 in Batman: Arkham Asylum. I've watched so many videos that my brain knows exactly what to do, but I just can't for the live of me get my thumbs to perform the necessary tasks.
The Katamari trophy on getting every item is even more difficult than shown. Yes, you have to get every item, which would normally be sorta easy... Except for the Cowbear. It's a level where if you roll up one cow OR bear item, the level is over. The Cowbear is huge and rolling over a tiny bottle of milk can end your attempt
i remember this on katamari forever. i finally managed to get it and get the platinum after some time
Yup!!! I got this one in Katamari forever a few years back when finishing off the plat once and for all.
The cowbear is a silent killer in that no one thinks you need it but you do! You have to roll big enough without picking any of those items up, to then KNOCK OVER the cowbear and then rush to collect him without picking anything up AND before he runs away and starts rampaging all over the map 🙃 knocking you around. Took me a few tries at that size and patience to grab him. He usually hangs out by the river and bridge (in forever) so it's a matter of waiting for him to walk by.
Yes the annoying bear was my last item when I got this - to small and it ping pongs you across the map likely hitting other bears, to big and it runs away and trying to chase it will often also be an accidental pick up of another bear :( nearly gave up several times!
So fun fact for Stanley Parable: You can actually play the game for an X amount of hours every Tuesday until the trophy pops. So you might play 5 hours every Tuesday until the trophy pops. You can also change your Playstation internal date to 10 years to pop the super go outside throphy if you want to
"Both are very Stanley Parable ways of doing it too." - The narrator, propably
But that’s not a “difficult” trophy, just a time consuming one.
I just genuinely did it on a single Tuesday
You don't even need to do that. Just change the PlayStation time to a Tuesday and let it run (so pretty much the same strategy as doing the ten years)
Ngl I genuinely started before midnight on a Tuesday and left for the day😂 was my day off gaming wise, detox
I started playing Stray recently and fell in love so have decided to go for the platinum. Can’t wait to rage at the chase and Speedrun 😅
Here's one I doubt many people will know/remember. Burnout Apocalypse from Days Gone. It simply says to use Nitro boost and drift on your bike at the same time for 5 seconds. Except that drifting requires correct timing of analogue stick movement at certain points to control the drift. Now imagine trying to figure that out when the timing windows are sped up because of the nitro boost. It took me about 3 hours to figure it out but I still got the trophy, and the platinum in the end.
i just accidentally got it while chased by a horde after recovering my bike haha
Fellow Days Gone platinum holder here. Just wanted to shout out how magnificent that game is!
Still haven't got that. Sigh!
I got that one thanks to the internet, plus the other one that said to drift for 2 minutes or so (can't remember). I just went to a parking lot and left it pressed, so I did a doughnut of sorts for 2 minutes. Lifesaver
@alastairmccann8400 there's a video that shows them doing it in a swimming pool, took 3 attempts for me then.
The only PlayStation consoles I ever owned were ps2, psp, and vita but for some reason I keep coming back to this channel. Keep on being yourselves guys.
That moment when you learn "Dreamies" are the British version of "Temptations" cat treats.
Can't Catch Me trophy in Stray gave me anxiety
Wow
I am so proud of Dave for his crime trials pun😂. Well done David, well done.
The Flapmaster trophy in goat simulator is the hardest trophy ive done, and ive platinumed Elden Ring and Sackboy xD. That trophy is so BS!
I found that Flower trophy where you have to go through that night level without getting shocked once quite stressful. Other than that the game and trophies are so easy and relaxing😌
The hardest trophy I’ve ever gotten from an easy game had to be either shooting all of the planes during the Arkean Armory level or dodging all the lasers during the undead Chaos fight, both of wich are from Skylanders Spyro’s Adventure. I don’t really remember wich one was truly harder, since I’m so many years removed from that experience now, but I do remember having to reset each level way more than any of the others in order to complete their respective challenges.
That stray trophy came up to my mind right away before watching this
Me too. Also the jump rope trophy from FF9
That trophy in Stray was unironically most of my playtime with how much I had to restart.
Took me hours to get that one
@@rayjohnson2387 I still haven't earned that Stray trophy, now I have to wait until the game is dirt cheap (I got it for free on PS+ at launch)
Some gamers might of unlocked it without trying or even knowing about it. Can be luck based instead of skill
Not a super easy game, but String it Together in Sackboy: A Big Adventure is still a huge step up from the rest of the game and trophies.
That trophy is no longer allowed to be mentioned on this channel.... Alex has been embarrassed enough 😂
I'm still waiting for Rob to include the Final Fantasy 7 remake pull up challenge trophy I hated doing that I got it in the end but Jesus Christ was it difficult and only a bronze is a big slap in the face.
Similar ones in rebirth are even worse but the overall list is more difficult so it doesn't stand out as much
completely forgot about that one😭i'm stuck on the darts trophy in that game rn
I'm glad I'm not the only one who found that "Bow Wow" track in FF7 Rebirth annoying. 😂
What about that trophy in Heavy Rain where you have to score a perfect drive? You have to slowly maneuver the control stick, which the game never tells you, in order to not hit incoming traffic.
Was a nightmare for me to get on the PS3 with the six axis controls
I love Dave-I mean, Rob’s mom’s puns. 😂
LOL the old Friday Feature call back is amazing. Love it. Even remember most of the celebrities in that list :p
I remember the lego rock band trophy list. All of the trophies were fairly straightforward and then there was the last trophy which I never got. Hit 100% of all the notes in the guitar solo on Final countdown by Europe. It was ridiculous compared to the rest of the game. What was that trophy doing in there?!?!
In stray you have to do the zig zag technique with that trophy it took me a while because sometimes the Zerks will jump on you sometimes they won’t it’s a trial and error thing.
For me it was Sackboy (String it together trophy) and also Goat Simulator's flappy goat was quite a frustrating one!
You guys gave me flashbacks when you mentioned the Zurks. But I am relieved to say I managed to get through them eventually and Platinum Stray.
I've also Platinimed both Goat and Powerwash Simulator (twice!)
I love how after years of making these your still very creative with it!
Those advanced IQ cubes used for Dave and Rosie at the end of the video are the bane of my existence at work. Weird to see them in a PlayStation Access video 🤣
That bit with 2014 Rob was such a fun throwback.
The Stray one was infuriating, even when you've memorised it, sometimes they got stuck so the timing was different. Got it in the end though. Same with Goat Simulator.
The flappy goat trophy drove me insane!!! Got it in the end! 2 months after I started it! Still got the challenges outstanding on Powerwash Simulator! 😢
Sackboy a big adventures last trial...it was torture...😂
Pure gold this one! The writing is getting better and better!
What a video. I feel so called out because I'm one of those gamers that goes for healthy platinums, and that means doing all the annoying trophies!
I recently got the Katamari Forever platinum on PS3 that's been haunting me for 10 years, a few years back during covid. I committed to it and found old forums and spreadsheets like he said, online. Thankfully Re-roll and Reverie are the same games as their originals. Not sure if I have it in me to do it. But who can say they have all available katamari platinums?
Gasmoxian Slug on Dragon Mines was the single hardest thing in CTR for me
Not Playstation but the "Zombie Chopper" achievement from Half Life 2 really got to me. Only being able to use the gravity gun while being chased by a swarm of zombies (especially that one part when you're waiting for the elevator while a bunch of sprinters come after you) was tough
For me, it's Raccoon Them Up in _LEGO The Incredibles._
You need to do nine quicktime events with IMMEDIATE responses, and which buttons you need to press gets randomised, so you can't learn a sequence. Plus, there's about two minutes of loading screens as you return to the hub and then select the relevant level again. It's the only trophy standing between me and the platinum.
The annoying trophy on Stray took me far too many attempts on both versions of the game, yet once it's unlocked it feels amazing!
Don't let these trophies distract you from the fact that, we all deserve a new Bloodborne game.
Hey, gotta earn them all, so here's my entry for the silver trophy: Pac-Man World Re-Pac. It's all sunshine and rainbows until you start attempting the Retro Gamer trophy, which requires you to reach level 9 of the classic Pac-Man game. 🤪
I’ve done this one! I looked old Pac-Man maps and strategies to learn the optimal routes, then practiced them a few times a day until I reached level 9. It was actually really fun and satisfying as I felt my skills improve.
The hardest trophy I can recall doing, has to be one from two friday featureas ago, that being the Challenge from the Witness. That took a couple tries to say the least.
7:22 was a surreal jumpscare when I heard this AS I WAS PLAYING Powerwash Simulator.
Took me forever to get that Stray trophy. I was yelling like my football team won a championship when I finally got it.
Sackboy - the knitted knight challenges all at once one after the other 😢
The Bow Wow Wow song got me. 😂
Really?
#VodSquad (I *will* resurrect it! And yes, I know this isn't even a stream.)
I started watching PlayStation Access when I had an XBox.
It was Rob's Friday Features that drew me to the channel. It was the team's overall brilliance, and fun attitude that kept me here.
Keep up the fantastic work!
I loved getting Stray's platinum. That chase was extremely difficult, but never felt unfair.
It's baby mode compared to some trophies. Great game.
Rob's real-life simulation of the Alphabet Legacy trophy hack was fantastic.
I recently went back and got the plat for Sly Cooper: Thieves in Time after a 5 year gap thinking "why'd I never finish this one?" and then I remembered...the arcade games.
As usual a great video. Still have the great memory of meeting rob and the original crew at the very first psx.
That face when Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth "chill out classic" comes on :D
*chef's kiss*
Digging the Sisyphus reference.
Loved all the 2014 references, arguably one of the best years on the internet
That Stray trophy was frustrating....and I did it twice (PS4&5) 😂 .... but omg that Flapmaster trophy was so much worse, really had me raging, it took a while...
oooh another trophy vid! Brilliant. Hello, you've caught me, loving a new friday feature
hello, you've caught me watching another Friday Feature
Hello, you've caught me replying to this comment.
@@fadeinfadeout.Hello, there.
I had most of these and that feels good, and one I eventually might get or give up on. I think the one that drove me the most mad though was the Katamari one. So many items.
Great gag about reading the Katamari list, tickled me
One I haven't managed yet (I gave up a few years ago) is the one where you must feed input on advance or complex life forms in the game Flow.
Very simple rules: You start as a single cell organism and must feed on other organisms to grow while not being eaten yourself by hostile organisms.
Now, try that without accidentally hitting the non hostile simple organisms, which are everywhere on the screen, while also making sure to feed only on more advanced life forms. Each time you feed, you grow in length - keep that in mind as you don't want to accidentally hit simple life forms while you go for the bottom of the ocean...
Rob is a man after my own heart haha! Murdering his Sims haha!
the subtle dodgeball reference was awesome
I honestly think the "Finish in less then 2 hours" trophy in Stray is worse. If you fail the cat run, you just do it again till you do because checkpoints. You fail that, you just wasted two hours of your life or more.
I never tried the two hour speedrub cause my controller got wings trying the cat run.
So, no chance for me to see this trophy in my list
And then there's the trophy where you can't use the weapon backpack in the sewers where you get swarmed by enemies and the weapon makes the level a lot easier.
@@thorstenbrandt6256 I think I finished around 1 hour 40 mins on my playthrough... I followed a speedrun guide on YT. You can pause the game to stop the timer and if you fail anything don't reload the checkpoint... just quit to the main menu and load up from there as to not add any extra time on. It's rather a forgiving time... just do it without focusing on the collectible stuff and you are off! If I did Crash Bandicoot 2 with the worst dift ever... then you should manage this game, lol ; D
I think finishing in 2 hours is a lot easier, mainly because I have that trophy but to this day, I still don't have the cat run trophy.
I speedran that platinum in the final hours of that game being available for PS+ last year. Both trophies were stressful but I was counting seconds in Stray. I just barely made the 2 hour mark with less than 10 minutes left I think. The other one took time and patience to master with some guides online.
Why is Rob's mother more terrifying than Lady Dimitrescu?
5:23 flap master I easy tap the option button 😂😂😂😂😂
Think it took me about 50 goes at that Stray trophy, got painfully frustrating but the game itself is well worth playing. Personally didn’t find Powerwash too bad either
String it Together in Sackboy: A Big Adventure is such a curveball in an otherwise friendly game!
Got the platinum on astros playroom, but those extra 4 find the bots list was hard ! I ended up going on UA-cam for them not going to lie!
String it together - Sackboy… that is all
There are actually families you can download from the gallery in The Sims 4 that, when you visit their lots, trigger the Alphabet Legacy trophy. So someone probably already did the whole adopt-birthday-kill strategy you talked about. The game will check the family tree and see "This sim has a 26-generation family tree" and pop the trophy. This works to a lesser extent for the regular legacy trophy too.
That goat simulator trophy took me so many attempts and was beyond frustrating, but I did finally get it! Not an easy one at all and I felt justified to find it on this list, years after doing it 😅
Hold on..... "Temptations" are called "Dreamies" in the UK?!?!? 🤯🤯🤯
Going for the plat on Powerwash Simulator right now. Just did the Tall Order and thought that would be the hardest challenge I'd have to face. Guess I have more to look forward to.😩
The gauntlet run trophy in Sackboy! I still haven't done it but maybe some day...
Adopt a child.
Have a birthday.
Mourn the deceased.
I didn't know you could summarize 'life' so eloquently and poignantly in three short sentences.
Rise's combat dialogues trophy in Persona 4 Golden
I have 2 of these trophies. Goat Simulator one which was infuriating and took several hours. PowerWash Simulator which wasn’t too bad once you’ve looked at online tutorials
Yay! Gold Trophy for me! 🏆
In PSVR’s Fruit Ninja the trophy “Are you kidding me?” Trophy was a pain in the but. I kept making it harder for myself.
I just had an idea for a list: "7 Easy Platinum Trophies (That still take forever)". I had that happen to me last year with Final Fantasy 16, a platinum trophy that is veryy doable but you still need to play through the game (and basically 100% both runs) to get it.
They've already made "trophies that take super long time to get" (paraphrasing), but it's a long time ago during PS4 era.
1:40 your mother is breath taking. Lololol
I got through about 7 chapters of a Max Hastings audiobook trying that Goat Simulator trophy
The Ripsnorter in Sackboy: A Big Adventure…I will never forget you
The flappygoat trophy was rough. It took me 43 minutes (I timed it). Pretty good for the amount of time it seemed to take other players; (chuffed)
Out of all of these, I am dreading CTR and Stray's the most.
The others are doable, just very time consuming and/or luck based.
I couldn't get the Katamari Darmacy trophy or the Flappy goat trophy. I was able to get the stray trophy and power wash simulator trophy though. I always tell my friend there's always that one trophy that sneaks up on you and makes the platinum more difficult than you thought.
I got the Stray platinum but that damn alley trophy was hard as hell. Took me like 100 tries, almost gave up but powered thru.
🥈Bolt Collector🥈 from Ratchet & Clank was my tough one. Talk about a hard grind, I had to use the infinite bolt glitch in the hoverboard track just to pull it off. I think you have to beat the game like 5 times if you want to do it legit so... yeah no thanks. 😅
The flappy goat trophy in goat simulator was an incredibly annoying. I got the platinum but that part wasn’t fun
Sackboy: A Big Adventure's String it together trophy was quite the challenge in a pretty easy trophy list.
The flappy goat can be made way easier with a couple of modifiers on and in slow motion. Still took me an hour or so 😅
I did the flappy goat one! Made an attempt at the powerwash simulator one but gave up as it wasn't fun at all.
Funny enough, the Can’t Cat-ch Me Trophy wasn’t that hard for me when trying to get it. The “play under 2 hours in Stray” trophy I believe is the more stressful one, I barely made it with a minute to spare 😢
Life can best be described as:
-Adopt a child
-Have a birthday
-Mourn the deceased
It Takes Two - that tower. Made me so mad. Got the plat and love the game, but I will never climb that tower again. Stray on the other hand, I didn't get mad just focused. I was more nervous about doing it in less than 2 hours. Goat simulator 3 has some trophies that appear easy but are not and they have a good number of them. But I liked that plat, it was fun even though I had to look up guides to make sure I was doing it right. Sounds so simple but is not.
I would have TWO Platinums but for the "Ripsnorter", that challenge is ridiculous 😢 My only Play is Astros Playroom, my next will be Astro Bot and I'll be very happy with just those two
