Trophies you thought you didn't have the skill to do but you managed to do it.

[charxsetsuna]

That's not a catchy title at all.

Anyways, are there any trophies you thought you didnt have the skill for, but you surprised yourself by actually managing to do it?

For me it's the trophy for beating inferno in trials fusion, hence why it's in my cabinet and the plat for ctr because I thought the time trials would be impossible.

I heard that game was impossible, how did you manage it?? must have taken a lot of practice.

Skullgirls 2nd Encore

 

 Two Weeks
Will Squigly decide on her choice and move towards the changing winds?

 

Marie 300% was a pain in the ass to deal with, especially that you only had the option to use Squigly. She is mostly known for her (unfortunately) annoying catchphrase "Know your place", which basically attempted to scrape some of my brain cells off every time she says it. It's a way to rile you up, which made the challenge harder. With practice and luck, she was finally put to its misery. If that wasn't bad enough, she would throw anything at you, plus she was tough as fuck to deal with.

 

Plus: All of Super Meat Boy's no-death runs.

Street Fighter IV and Super Street Fighter IV Trials...

[Evil_Joker88]

Just a few recent examples:

 

Better than the Best: Complete all missions in Sniper Elite 4 on Authentic+ Difficulty

 

Roof Runner: Speedrun mission 2 in Unravel 2

 

LUNATIC: finish Outlast on highest difficulty which includes no death and no save

 

BOWELWHISTLER: Complete Outlast's DLC Whistleblower on highest difficulty which includes no death and no save too

 

 

[ResoluteRock]

A few off the top of my head:

• Uncharted 4’s Crushing Survival trophies

• No Time to Explain’s speedrun/no death run trophies

• Modern Warfare’s Special Operations missions

I was pretty intimidated by the online wins in WWE games... but it turns out I was a lot better at it than expected. I won a majority of my matches (something approaching 75%) and a majority of the people who beat me were, predictably, cheating buntcurgers exploiting anything and everything they could put their hands on... sweaty, cheeto dust-covered hands that deserve a short and sweet date with a broadaxe. And I did most of the matches before I had to really get the micro down for the Allen Jones Styles Tower of Broken Brokenness... thankfully, broken in some good ways, too.

First game I thought about that before starting this new account was to Complete the Game on Extreme Difficulty in Ducktales Remastered (PS3) . 

[Jake-TheGreat97]

The two that instantly come to mind are Becomes the master from Titanfall 2 and Ultimate Weapon from FF7 Remake. There is way more then that but then this post would be too long. Maybe some other time.

[djippps]

@TurtlePM: I played DuckTales a lot on my gameboy when I was a kid (I did the game so many times) but years after the ps3 version seemed much harder for me. Is that your feeling too?

Otherwise, Uncharted 4 DLC would be my answer (done legit, without glitch, and the guide here on psnprofiles is mine, I am so proud of it!)

Sonic Mania - Full Medal Jacket

 

I don’t think it’s considered hard, but when I first saw the bonus stages I thought it would be impossible 

[Copanele]

Street Fighter V - Let's fight someone strong. 

Basically reach gold rank in online ranked. Took me 3-4 months to grasp the concepts of the game and n9t get my ass handed to me but it was well worth it. Still can't believe I pulled it off. 

 

[willmill97]

Injustice Gods Among Us - STARS missions and Battle Mode

Guitar Hero Metallica - 575,000 on Creeping Death Expert Guitar

Max Payne 3 - NYMHC (Whole game in 1 sitting without dying)

Uncharted 3 - Overseer and everything else

Uncharted 4 - Crushing Survival on S O L O 

Call of Duty - Literally every zombie easter egg

[KingGuy420]

Me Perfect on Megaman 10

[nrs1nrs1]

Hardcore Mode on Dead Space 2 might've been the most stressful experience in gaming for me. Just constantly panicked about losing hours of progress.

[Gotakibono]

 

Max Payne 3

 

I honestly thought completing this game in one sitting without dying would be beyond me, not even just from a skill perspective but from a patience and stress perspective. I don't know how I managed it; went into some sort of hyper-focused trance on my third attempt, which I promised would be my final attempt at it. I honestly don't think I'd be able to do it again if you paid me.

I was planning to do this a few years back but unfortunately I gave up. My internet connection is not good enough to train on ranked

Mirror's Edge platinum. Gave up on the speed runs and time trials almost 10 years ago, just recently came back to get them and they weren't as bad as I remembered.

Shovel Knight - Hurry Up!

Beating the game is 1:30 hours. Not overly impressive compared to some of the other ones on here but I generally hate time limits because they really stress me out so I impressed myself by doing it. I just really loved the game I guess. Even then I only beat it within less than 5 minutes to spare and the final boss is always a pain for me so I was literally sweating into the controller.

[acasser]

Chemophobia and Ostiophobia from Rogue Legacy.  Those two re-mix bosses pretty much taught me that I could train myself to do almost anything if I put my mind to it enough.

 

The game itself is halfway in my wheelhouse (RPG-ish) and half way out of it (bullet hell).  Much of the game was rather mild; those two re-mix bosses were anything but.  I've put more time and effort into some other (non-grindy) trophies, particularly some of them in Zen Pinball 2, but these particular achievements take the cake.

oops, cleaning up a typo

[Godo Fwar]

There's a trophy on Gran Turismo 5 for golding every event, including the insanely difficult Red Bull car challenges. I thought I had no chance at first but with a decent steering wheel and a lot of practice, I only just did it.
