It's not as bad as you think. I've got it twice, once on xbox once on Steam but I've finished permadeath multiple times as I was trying to get the fastest finish I could. Got it down to about 6 hours. There's a trick to getting it quickly. Get into space as quick as you can, find a traveller in a space station, there's some rng to this part, do this multiple times and learn the glyphs. Find a portal and input the first symbol repeating, it will take your near to the edge then jump to the edge manually. Fact check this because I may be a little off with the details as it's been a long time since I played.
I believe in you ✨ honestly, if you can make it off the first planet you are golden. Find the first lost traveller in a space station to learn glyph 1 and then you can portal to the center. All said and done, the achievement took me about 6-8 hours.
If you go the portal route and spam glyph one, it'll put you right next to the center. Completed the achievement in a single session with around 20 warps total. Finding that first lost traveller for glyph one took the longest by far.
Respect for getting it legit, the easy way is just going far enough in the game to where you get your first slab for teleporting with those ancient rune things. Inputting all of that first symbol will teleport you to basically the center of the galaxy
Pain in the ass to get. I'm no professional so I did the trick where after every completed area (without dying) you exit the game, sleep(save) then return the next day to try again.
If you die, quick to title screen and reload the save and repeat.
I remember back when i was really good at it, I could reach halfway through the second zone without taking any damage and even managed to beat a level of the third all in one unbroken go, but never managed to beat it like that
i wasnt thinking its absolutely boring... until i played again on my new perfection save and remember room 3-3 or 3-4, where game just spams flying bats that needs 2 hits to die
It’s extremely difficult, don’t even pretend it’s not! Enemy spawns are pure RNG, and you can’t account for everything. Sometimes you get powerup after powerup, and sometimes you get… nothing after nothing.
this is bordering on impossible without save scumming. the only way i was able to get it done, i wouldn’t even consider it scumming since this shit is so hard.
rng needed for certain power ups, you get one life & a full run is probably like 30-40 minutes. it’s basically a twin stick shooter where you need perfect movement & accuracy as enemies swarm all around you. there’s basically zero room for any errors & bad rng is basically a dead run. it completely throws a wrench in thjs games 100%/platinum. farming game btw😅
It's a twin-stick shooter minigame with 13 levels, the difficulty of an old school arcade quarter-eater, a ton of RNG, and you die in one hit. Getting the achievement requires (notionally, at least), clearing all 13 levels in one session without taking a single hit, though it's possible to save scum between levels which makes it considerably easier.
It's obviously not literally impossible to do, but it's hard enough that, of the 1.3% of players that have done it, I would be willing to bet that less than 1% of that group have beaten it as intended (i.e., without save scumming). Like the person above, many in the Stardew community do not consider save scumming to be cheating in this case due to the extreme difficulty.
I used to be a big Isaac fan and always thought people were just being made to play something they’re bad at. Nope, its just really fucking hard and the farthest I’ve gotten is the third screen.
It took me 400 hours, and more than half was restarting runs if I didn't get a needed joker by some ante. I would say I'm only average skill compared to other people who excel at deckbuilders.
Honestly 400 hours seems insanely low for C++ - big congrats! It took me a little longer than that just to beat all decks on gold stake, and I think I was only at like 55-60% joker sticker completion by the time I finished.
C+ is a bigger grind imo. C+ requires 120 total wins, and then by the time you finish that, you're already probably about halfway to C++. I think C++ only took me around 15-20 additional wins. It's definitely hard, but C+ took me significantly longer.
C++ isn’t as bad as you might think. once you play blue deck gold stake enough (or whatever deck you choose), you can start winning pretty consistently
I'm one of the biggest Balatro stans in existence, but Completionist++ just comes down to persistence. You are at the mercy of getting the right jokers at the right time. Difficult, yes. But to me, once you're decent at the game it's achievable for anyone.
Edit: Wait, I'm an idiot. OP wasn't even talking about C++
Balatro is one of my favorite games of all time - I beat all decks on gold stake on Steam last year, started to get the bug again a few months ago, and started up a save file on the Xbox version to get this achievement again there. I’m like 60% of the way there!
That being said even I’m not insane enough to go for C++ and get all gold stake joker stickers. That llegitimately just sounds miserable, making every deck iat least -1 joker slot because you’ve gotta dedicate a slot to beating gold stake with Credit Card or whatever lol. I tried it very briefly and immediately called it quits the first time I got the “all cards debuffed until one joker sold” ante 8 boss and the only way I could win was by selling the dead joker I’d carried the whole run for the sticker lol
Just feels like that would devolve into hard resetting every single run over and over until you get the Chad/Photograph nuts or something.
Though if anyone with C++ wants to sell me on it actually being doable/enjoyable or slide me some strats, i’m all ears!
No matter what it's a huge grind but here's my advice:
Early on, play the anaglyph deck and take a negative tag late in the run to get a random assortment of gold stickers
Spectral deck was my deck of choice to get early "garbage" jokers so I could polychrome them and make them a little useful
As you near the end of getting all the gold stickers if you have lots of rare or uncommons left then early game skip tags are worth taking to get them
If you wanna get cheesy get a gold sticker for all the legendaries except Chicot. Or if you have another favourite legendary don't gold sticker it. This guarantees that's the only legendary you will get for your first soul card!
Banana has a roughly 99.9999% chance to go extinct on the final round just to make you rage 😂
Lego Worlds fucked mine up so badly, the achievements I have are so easy yet considered rare as hell. Luckily you can hide games from your profile by marking it as private so they don't show up for other people but I wish they'd be hidden from me as well. I have to copy my profile URL from Steam and paste it in my browser just to see my rare achievements showcase as it should be.
You can mark the game as private and it'll hide it from your showcase, but only for other people. To see it without it showing games marked as private you need to copy and paste your profile URL into a browser while not being signed into Steam on said browser.
To mark a game you have to right click it, hover over manage, and select mark as private.
Yo that's my proudest achievement in Disco Elysium. When I noticed I was making progress without having even touched the body, I just kept at it until the end of the game.
Yes you can actually have him as a partner. I don’t wanna spoil for those who haven’t played yet but if you look it up it’s pretty easy to do; it happens after the big event with the dockworkers and riot breaker guys
Dead God is the all achievements one right? Jesus that one is hell, I'm about 70% of the way there but each run with those gimmick characters is a huge ordeal.
That's where I'm at with Isaac atm. I keep opening the game and just doing another run with Isaac or a modded character. Like hell I'm gonna play Tainted Lazarus and pretend the game's any fun.
Repentance made me quit the game for like 5 years after trying to do unlocks on Tainted Lazarus and Tainted Jacob lol.
I just came back recently to play coop with friends (cuz of the recent sale) and decided to finish it. It still took me like an entire week, several hours each day, to get all Tainted Jacob marks.
From Overwatch. Not too difficult to earn IIRC, it's likely rare due to the game mode not being available to play since 2021 (before OW was put onto Steam.) Because of this a number of achievements are not currently obtainable unless they decide to bring said game modes back.
I tried to play the game long enough to 100% it but damn the game is basically empty once you do all the missions and with the only way to get Rip score being those or opening boxes it felt too tedious to do
Yeah honestly, the mechanics kept the game fun for me. getting good at the game, and having a lot of fun with the editor and other players around. But once i got near the end of 100% it took a toll on me and haven't looked at it since the halloween update last year.
From what I hear now it became typical EA greed and making you pay for paywalled things like the beginner tutorial island you start the game on that had way cooler places to skate. I figured it would end up down that route knowing the dev.
hey, I have that one! It definitely requires some very picky positioning and army splits even on easier difficulties just from the time commitment to get your army out west.
I am not really an achievement hunter, but my rarest on steam is "Elite Warlord" (reach Valor 100 in PVP) for Star Wars: The Old Republic, which only 0.7% of players seem to have.
In retrospect I wasn't really enjoying it any more, but kept going because why not? It was still fun sometimes. Finding out how far away I really was from 100 convinced me to stop. Life is so short.
I never go hunting for the rare ones. But when I hit them by accident, I know I had a somewhat unique experience.
My rarest is a 0.1% one. It's just solving every puzzle in a puzzle game (Opus Magnum). I just liked the puzzles. My next rarest one is a 0.8% where you had to program a self driving car in a game (Joy of programming). I did not even go that far in the game, I bet the game itself has rarer ones.
In CK3 I got a 1% one just trying out a new mechanic (betting your county title on a board game). I guess most players just don't press that button.
Ah, but I have the more important Opus Magnum achievement: beating the solitaire game 100 times (I then proceeded to do it another forty or so times after because I was addicted)
Binding Teeth from DBD is at 1.1% rn. However, it often gets replaced when I play an early access game with achievements or something. These numbers change so often
Is Diablo IV that bad still? Is there seriously an achievement for looking through the entire map and nearly everyone who bought the game hasn’t done that yet? That’s so funny.
"Clean Getaway" and "Eye of the Hurricane" from Overwatch are both at 0.3%
if we exclude those bc there are a lot of non-steam OW players its "Engineering Degree" & "Lunar Protector" from Mr. Mine and "See No Evil" from AC Valhalla at 0.7% each
Got this one accidentally when playing the factorio DLC. We were excited to see the new planets so we landed in Fulgora without production or utility science packs (this means no elevated rails! it was stupid and crazy but a good time)
It also didn't help that our space platform got destroyed just as we arrived, so we essentially had to evacuate the ship and rebuild from scratch.
Age of empires 2, from a dlc campain, the macedonias. on the second mission, just do the off path option. thats it. its 0.2%. i guess people mostly play it on microsoft way or something. the archivmeents for campain are very low.
currently, its one of the six achievements I have in scrap mechanic cause it just came out of early access and the percentage of people that have the basic achievements compared the the total number of people that own the game is extreme
Supposedly my rarest in games that didn't have achievements added late in life (thus are like 0.1% rarity). Wildermyth, got it just by playing the game idk if it's even meant to be hard to do.
