Like if you don't mind Trico stopping you from getting a platinum because at least you get to pet his big ol' noggin.

I, in fact, have every Platinum in every Uncharted game, including the Vita one. I cannot even begin to convey just how much I regret my life choices.

Whenever A Game's Trophies Is Tied To Multiplayer, You Can Kiss That Platinum Trophy GOODBYE!!!

Here's an idea for a sequel to this list, "7 really easy trophies hardly anyone unlocked". Here's a freebie, in Mirror's Edge Catalyst there's the trophy "Law Abiding Citizen" with a really low unlock rate. To unlock it... Simply walk through the hallway at the start of the game until you meet Icarus. No running, no jumping, no crouching, no punching... Just walk.

Hi, as someone who has the Shadow of the Colossus platinum here, I can safely say the hard time attacks are one of the most painful things I've EVER done in a game.

Multiplayer achievements are a scourge. What’s weird is that FromSoft games are relatively easy to Platinum… kinda. They don’t have any achievements for beating the game without dying, or beating it while controlling it with your mind.

When a game like The Last of Us has multiplayer trophies, I just limit myself to the single player ones and imagine I got a platinum trophy for those. So yeah, I got a platinum on The Last of Us. And no one can convince me otherwise.

The trophy with the lowest completion rate that I have is the "Child of the Forest" trophy from Metro Exodus, which requires you to complete the forest level without being detected or attacking anyone. The most tense trophy hunting experience I've ever had.

I'm most proud of my Red Dead Redemption 2 platinum, to be honest. The Uncharted 4 one was also brutal but very fun! Trophies are a blessing and a curse. I like the added challenge and they can lead you to secrets you otherwise might not look for but man, are they time consumers..

This makes me want a video where y'all talk about the achievements/trophies you're most proud of, in the style of your favorite music in games videos. Two of mine are Cleanest Hands in Dishonored and Only A True Master in MKX.

Trico's AI is mindblowing for me. A lot of people complain that he doesn't do what he's supposed to, for me he acts like a real animal, a cat more sepecifically. You ask him to do something and he will just stare at you and then when you give up he'll just do it. I loved my time with that game, never an animal felt so real in a game and we're talking about some giant Gryphon-puppy here, so that's saying a lot.

Oh hey I actually have the Shadow of the Colossus platinum. Several months in lockdown was an absolute godsend for my trophy hunting.

For the Uncharted 4 multiplayer trophies, all of them can be done via the tutorials against the cpu. The only time you have to play against other players is when you have to play 3 online matches, but you don't have to win anything. You can just stand in one place and wait for the match to be over.

No mention of Metal Gear Solid 4? One of the trophies requires you to beat the entire game on the hardest difficulty, without triggering any alerts, dying a single time, killing a single enemy, and all within a 5 hour time limit. It's literally a pacifist, no deaths, 100% stealth, speedrun all on the hardest difficulty mode.

Has someone who only has 3 plat I am happy to see one of them on here. I did manage to get TLOU plat but my god the multiplayer trophies are an absolute grind. Grounded + wasn't too bad and pretty fun, there was a couple parts (cough Ellie and David fending off the horde) that took a couple tries.

Proud to say I’ve done the equivalent of platinum on Beat Saber on the oculus. My tricks: getting really in to long term exercise, liking music games, and needing an alternate work out. Also buy and enjoy the artist song packs. Not only are they some of the most fun to play but the newer the pack the better and more fun (and occasionally easier) the note charts are. The official OST vol 1 through 3 can both be super unforgiving but super unforgiving in an un-fun way do to the dev team still learning their own system, the charts just aren’t as good.

There was actually a bug in Uncharted 4, where after you beat the game and unlocked Level Select, you can use it to skip to the end chapter in the difficulty of your choice, and the game considers it a full playthrough. That's how I cheesed into getting the trophy for Crushing mode AND Speedrun. What was really hard was the trophy "Run the Table"; where you had to kill enemies with a stealth attack, melee, headshot and explosives, in that order within 15 sec.

Hmm... Makes me think. What about a video with "Platinum trophies that make us do painful stuff so no thank you"?

I remember getting the Uncharted 4 platinum. Step 1. Complete game 2. Crushing difficulty + collectible clean up 3. 5 hour speedrun with lock on aim enabled. As platinums go it actually wasn't that bad, surprised it's so rare.

Oh, I didn't realise that the Uncharted 4 platinum was that rare! I enjoyed the game that much that I just got all the trophies without thinking too much about it, which is my go to plan to get any platinum really; there's no point in getting any in the games you feel you have to slog through!

Me a serious trophy hunter: “Oh! Haha! Well well well! I bet I’ll have at least one of THESE! Ha! Bunch of casuals!!” Me after checking the video: “Welp…. Wellity wellity well. Nope.”

TLoU Plat is my most heartbreaking one i never acquired, i got every trophy except for the Hunter/Firefly trophies, while the MP was enjoyable i wasnt about to spend months playing it just for a couple of trophies. I do wish dev's would stop putting MP trophy requirements in games that are mostly a SP experience.

Another game that I feel like is impossible is stardew Valley where one of the trophies wants you to beat the entire arcade game without dieing once

I did not expect to see Shadow of the Colossus on this list. I think it’s the one game I have the platinum trophy on. It’s such a minimalistic and well documented game that it’s really not as much of a difficult time sync as you think. Hard mode isn’t that much more difficult than standard. Time attack is annoying but do able and also a brilliant addition to a minimalistic game. Beating the time attack attack modes also gives you items that make the lizards and fruits easier to collect. The other trophies are for killing creatures or to encourage exploration.

i really appreciate the last of us part 2 trophy list because with all the accessibility options they clearly wanted to make it fun for anyone who wanted to play so anyone with enough dedication can also get the platinum

One of my earliest and most proud Platinums is from Alien: Isolation. This included a trophy for completing the entire game without dying once...

Uncharted 4 was my first try at a platinum. I decided to do the treasures last,and when i got to do it, THE TROPHY DIDN'T POP UP, and yes i had every treasure,i even counted the 109 treasures countless times from the menu to see if i missed something. I did some research and i wasn't the only one with this problem. I still have nightmares from this.

I'm looking forward to going for my UC4 platinum. The Uncharted games are my favorite series in the world (and favorite games second only to RDR2) so going for the trophies gives me a reason to play them over and over and over. I blame really good storytelling and acting!

It's nearly always the multiplayer for me. I finished Survivor plus in the Last Of Us. But I couldn't handle playing over 100 multiplayer games when I really, really didn't like the multiplayer. Also achievements that rely completely on luck

Speaking of things like Uncharted 4's multiplayer: What about 7 times you were cheated out of 100% completion? Whether it's a multiplayer only set of trophies preventing a platinum, a particularly infamous bug, or something like random elements needing an online connection to a dead server, there's been times where i've gone all in on 100%ing a game, trophies or no, only to realize after so much meticulous completion that the game was rigged from the start. My "favorite" is when games like Bulletstorm or Tomb Raider get a remaster, but unlike every meaningful ps3 era remaster I can think of, DONT get rid of the tacked on multiplayer and its associated trophies.

I imagine Ellen playing The last of us "Oh, this game is great,10/10" Ellie begins to read her terrible jokes, "Nevermind, 11/10" Also, I hear you Luke. We may be misunderstood, but I know what you're talking about and I agree, farming the slime scholars in the lecture building is very chill.

As a trophy hunter myself, i must say i'd rather go for the platinum of half of this list instead of finishing The Last Guardian again, damn what a terrible experience

I'm amazed by how fast Luke managed to complete the marathon and come back for the end of the video. Or maybe they recorded the video with few months in between takes.

I watched Super GT get his platinum in Gran Turismo Sport. The combination of effort and skill that takes is just unreal.

Maybe I just got lucky with Trico. What I always do is point in the direction where I want him to go, issue commands twice, then point again.

One game that I found relatively hard to platinum was Hitman 3, mainly due to the fact that each map has a hidden trophy that requires you to complete specific challenges (most of which are redacted), or to do specific action in the mission. On top of that there are hidden trophies that require you to kill each target in a specific way (though that’s relaxed on Berlin) and there’s a trophy that requires you to top the leaderboard on a custom contract, which is near impossible when some people are able to use speedrun tactics to complete contracts in as quickly as 7 seconds!

Proud to say I have two of the Platinum Trophies. Shadow of the Colossus was definitely tricky, but honestly Beat Saber is my proudest platinum I’ve got. Literally spend 6 months trying to get that Flawless trophy and when I finally did and the Plat popped, I legitimately celebrated with a glass of champagne 😂😂

Getting the platinum is almost impossible in Mad Max since the Up To The Task challenge requires getting scrap from the online service, which no longer exists.

Hahaha I'm so glad you brought up Last Guardian, I love Trico but seriously one of the most frustrating mechanics is him just not listening to. If you try to platinum that game you are NUTS

I have only ever reached a platinum trophy for Trails of Cold Steel 1, which I consider fair going since it's a 50+ hour JRPG with trophies for stuff like opening every chest in the game, playing the game in nightmare mode, killing 8 enemies in one hit, and seeing a special event with every party member, which involves playing the game through at least twice, most likely three times, and lots of saving and reloading.

I would like to hear what Andy's first reaction after knowing about the bow and arrow incident

It’s not a massive game but for a long time, Toy Soldiers War Chest had a 0.0% achievement rating for the platinum trophy with not a single person earning it. Sometime in the last couple years, it’s moved up to 0.1%. I like to imagine there is literally only one person to ever achieve the platinum trophy for that game Edit: Apparently a trophy was glitched and made it impossible to platinum and/or someone cheated to get it. Don’t care, didn’t ask

"Four Score and Seven Reps ago our Forefathers brought forth THE PAIN" killed me. Like Actually belly laughing out loud. I am not ok

I have platinumed the entire kingdom hearts series, thats probably the one I'm most proud of. Mostly from stuff like mysterious figure with terra from bbs. Last I checked that one was still sitting at 0.4%.

As someone who loves to get platinums (particularly rare ones) you have just added 7 more items to the list of reasons that I hate myself. Thank you.

Ellen’s puns are the best, especially her “lukewarm” pun.

For the speedrun trophy on uncharted I sorta glitched it (probably patched already) I don’t remember how I did it but it involved going through your save files skipping the whole game. I got my platinum that way.

My trophies are usually simple games that you just need to complete like jazzpunk and Telltales TWD (and amoung the sleep that doesn’t give you one which is a whole other can of worms for me). But the first one I actually worked at was Days Gone. Is it an extremely difficult game? No not necessarily, but it’s the first one I actually put real effort into with the goal of completing it so holds a special place in my heart :)

Being a huge fan of Fumito Ueda’s games, I do have the platinums for Shadow of the Colossus and the Last Guardian. The former being the most difficult due to those hard time attacks, but I persisted mainly because I wanted to unlock all of the special items that you receive as rewards for beating them. The hard time attacks on the PS4 version were significantly easier due to Wander not freaking out quite as much with every slight movement of the Colossi. Last Guardian had it’s tricky parts, but for me the worst thing was getting every hint to trigger. Sometimes waiting a long time wasn’t enough, as some of the hints require very specific circumstances to get them to play. It didn’t help that there was no way of tracking which ones you still had left to unlock.

Luke gets applauded today. "Four score and seven reps ago, our fathers brought forth the PAIN!!!" 😂😂😂

i am actually trying to get platinum on beat saber and to be honest the hardest part about doing a expert+ ss without missing a single note nor any modifiers is neither getting ss nor not missing a single note, it is finding a song upon which you can do both at the same time

Im surprised the Tony Hawk Pro Skater 1+2 remake wasnt on here. 0.1% of people have the platinum achievement. This is due to the time needed to reach level 100, skill needed to complete some of the ingame challenges, and patience needed for the multiplayer achievements

Luke going full swandive into Bloodborne stratemagising is a whole ass mood lol

Tetris effect has been my on and off challenge in-between big releases since it came out, I'm getting so close to the seriously? seriously trophy now. I used to think I was good at Tetris, and judging by being able to wipe the floor with everyone I knew I thought I was, but that was barely B rank when it came to playing this. I only need 2 more now, SS on sprint mode and SS on ultra mode.

i didn’t know the sharpshooter achievement was hard i got it on my first play through😭

That last quip was hilarious!

I didn’t even go after the platinum for The Last Guardian. I didn’t want to turn it into a game game after it made me so tremendously emotional. I’ll cry today if I hear the credits music.

11:40 I am currently watching this in London Ontario, weird to hear the shoutout. Layover from Heathrow is a nightmare, too. Still a short drive to Vienna, Hamburg, and Paris, though. We also have a a Thames River as well.

Uncharted 4 is one of the few platinums I do have. Though... full disclosure, I got it like second week of release, when it was not only considerably easier with you know.. not needing all those grindy multiplayer trophies that I mostly don't have despite playing both modes of multiplayer it has a fair bit, but also if you had a physical disc version (which I did) and made sure not to update it by disconnecting yourself from the internet and only THEN popping the disc into your ps4.. you could just skip the entire game and play only intro and epilogue and get your crushing AND speed run trophy in like maybe 10 minutes of gameplay. yes. I cheated. nope, not even a little bit ashamed :P also.... at least back when I was doing it, you could play the game on very VERY slowed down mode WITH autoaim and it still counted towards the trophy, so the only accurate shots you had to get with above skip were few guys in the intro.

I feel honored that I have the Bloodborne platinum. Those chalice dungeons were a nightmare.

Luke really needs to pay more attention, otherwise he's never going to get that trophy for enduring all of Ellen's puns.

Luke: "you're forced to play the game multiple times!! 😩" Speedrunners: "oh you sweet summer child"

I feel as thought Final Fantasy XIV: A Realm Reborn should be on here. It is an utterly massive game currently, and it takes ages to earn, granted with a success rate of 1.5%~

I got in Platinum in Uncharted 4 and don't remember it being that hard, honestly what was hard and I still haven't gotten are the Survival DLC trophies. I jus could never get past Stage 4, let alone beat any of the stages on Crushing difficulty

I got Beat Saber on Quest, which also has achievement stuff, and I was similarly confused on how a game like Beat Saber could have such a low campaign finish rate, but assumed that it was just because of the "party game" status... except some of the levels in the campaign are harder than standard expert levels because of unique modifiers (such as limiting your arm movement or you fail for moving too much) or additional difficulty like "Expert mode, but you have to get really high rank while also getting bad hits on notes to succeed". The final level of the campaign requires you to make 'at least' 20 'bad' slashes, which don't count as missing the note you need to slash and get a poor score, which seems kinda backwards for something trying to make you a better player.

I'd say getting platinum on some of the Yakuza games is difficult. And getting platinum for ALL of them is a pain. That means playing every single one twice, doing the completion lists, some of which is luck based, going to caberets to talk up several different women (as if your own social life doesn'tsuffer enough from doing all this), defeating Amon on several occasions, and running around the map looking for keys. And if you REALLY want to go balls to the wall, you can also play the spin offs, which would also include those only released in Japan, on Playstation 3. I think That, and Crash Bandicoot...

I have TLoU 1&2 and UC4 platinums, but those are not even my hardest or most time comsuming ones. Platinums im most proud of are Black Ops 3, Rdr 2 and Gta V.

Luke: are you saying im not cool Me: remembers the photos of luke playing pokemon smile

That Lukewarm pun was a thing of beauty :D A Platinum I'm never gonna get (only 0.1% have) but would love is the one for Dreams - it's really difficult because you have to sink a bunch of hours into every aspect of creation in order to get the rank 3 trophies

Happy to say that I'm part of that 6.5% that has finished Bloodborne! It was my first platinum and boy did it take forever! The chalice dungeons were almost the end of me...

I can imagine that both Mortal Kombat X and Mortal Kombat 11 must have insanely low platinum rates because soooo many of the trophies are rooted in the online modes and it's not like the performance of your opponents and/or teammates is something you have any control over

1:08 including me!! The hardest part was actually the online luckily I wasn't too bad at it so I had fun getting the 2 online trophies

This episode got me thinking, how about a list of achievements/trophies you physically cannot get anymore. Brutal Legend comes to mind. I started playing it later than most and there was no way I was getting the STI inspired achievement where you must "play with or against someone who has this achievement". Impossible a few years after the game was released, there is no way you are finding it now.

I have Commitment in The Stanley Parable, which requires you to play the game for an entire Tuesday (which I got legitimately, dunno about the other 2.2%) I think the rarest achievement I worked for would be the one for getting all S Ranks in Thumper. 1.1% of all players on Steam have that. I do have some that only 0.1% of all players have, but those are from a game with virtually no player base, which is honestly a shame.

I have to ask: Does opening the giant door, you need to collect a bunch of hidden items in the game, count for the platinum? 'Cause that thing took (if i remember right) a couple of decades to even find

The problem with the PS3 version of Shadow of the Colossus was some sort of physics problem where Wander would lose his grip and make Time Attacks extra difficult, especially Colossus 3.

Weirdly, all of the talk of games with near impossible platinums is reminding me on how Undertale handled its trophy system when it was ported into consoles that required achievements.

I've managed to platinum The Last Guardian and Uncharted 4 (and Shadow of the Colossus, but only the PS4 version). I tried The Last of Us, but gave up due to the multi-player trophies being extremely awful. You have to play 80 games (though you can quit out early on most of them, so the real amount is around 14) TWICE and that community is one of the most toxic out there. Plus if you fail to achieve the objectives in one of the games you have to play to completion,you have start over again. Those trophies, far more than Survivor, are the biggest reason more people of platinuming the sequel than the original. For Uncharted 4, the speedrun trophy, which I only beat with 5 minutes to spare, and crushing difficulty are probably the hardest. The 70% accuracy is easier when you realize in your second run you can enable auto aim to get it. The Last Guardian's All Talked Out trophy is one of the worst in history. You literally have to play the game like an idiot (two hints require you to stare at a pot for six minutes straight) and there is a lot of conflicting information on how to get those hints on the internet. I used the guidebook and even that wasn't written in the best way. The Lightning Emissary trophy (beating the game in five hours) is tricky as well, though you can quit out anf reset at a checkpoint if you are taking too long. The trophy for pulling all the spears out of Trico in a timely fashion wasn't easy either. And don't get me started on the one where you had to ride one of the Yoroi for 30 seconds. (Sidenote on Last Guardian: Collar only requires 13 holes. Contrary to popular belief, the two "holes" in the mines don't apply to it.)

the funny thing is I got spiderman platinum by accident, I got the game back a year later and saw I only need 3 trophies

Tetris Effect probably also has trophies tied to multiplayer, and I know it has mode based trophies. Mystery Mode is a freaking trip.

I remember my brother getting frustrated with “The Last of us” because of the Co-Op trophies that required EVERY player to play and win in a team for consecutive wins. If someone lost internet connection…wet socks for everyone. My brother gave up after trying for a couple weeks.

Also the "+70% accuracy" challenge is really more time consuming than it is difficult, because if you dedicate a play through to it, it's an absolute cakewalk, as you can just set the game to easy, turn on the aim assist and super slow-motion cheats whenever you enter combat, and then for added safety just melee your way through most encounters only using your gun when strictly necessary or when enemies have basically no cover. It's trivial in difficulty, it just requires you to dedicate about 7.5 hours of your life that you'll never get back to the most boring Uncharted experience you'll ever have.

I wanted to platinum uncharted 4 and I even got the speedrun and crushing difficulty trophies but I dont think I'll get the one for 70 percent accuracy

I hope Luke wears matching pink flamingo sweatbands for his head and wrists when running marathons.

Even worse about Shadow of the Colossus -- eating those fruits in the garden undoes the benefits gained from the lizards. Yay.

I’m happy to say I’m part of that .4% for TLOU. I played through that story 40+ times just for the fun of it before I even decided to do collectibles. And the multiplayer is actually a pretty fun time once you figure it out (and it’s even better when you get the trophies and aren’t forced to worry about the actual factions bit and instead get to do it at your leisure). I’ve sunk hundreds of hours in to this game and love just about every aspect of the story and the gameplay (the opening acts rely a little too much on forced combat, which really plays against the games strengths of intense stealth and exploration in and out of combat). All of this to say that TLOU2 is still a better game and Bring Us Factions 2

I think I actually got the Spin Master achievement on the Xbox version of Tetris Effect. It’s not really that hard to get if you run through Journey Mode multiple times

Iridium Seal from Stardew Valley doing basically everything + Selling your soul to JoJas Bizarre Company + Beating Journey of the Prairie King (without dying)

I'm proud to say I have TLoU 1&2 Platinums and although I agree at first I thought the multiplayer was a crummy unnecessary add on but after I grinded out the trophies it ended up being one of my favourite multiplayer games. So much so that I'm still sat here waiting for my TLoU 2 Multiplayer, Neil.

I remember playing Last Guardian while ill, which put me in absolutely the worst frame of mind for Trico to refuse to stand up in the right spot for a solid twenty minutes...

Got the platinum on both TLOF, it was really tough but fun. The game gains much more tension, it truly becomes a survival game

11:36 As somebody who lives in London, Ontario, I was not expecting this.

The Last of Us is such a masterpiece in storytelling. Those pun book segments are just so good, perfectly written, paced and voice acted, Just chef's kiss. When's Ellen going to release her pun book?🤔😉 Seriously I'd love a 7 best puns in gaming list.

Wow, I really thought this would be a good idea for a list and I am happy to see you guys do it. I am always astonished by the percentages related to plats. One of my favorites is that more people have the platinum for Nioh 2 than for the Final Fantasy 7 remake, even though Nioh 2 is considered "hard".

I just Platinumed Sifu, and I am really proud of that!

Me : trying to get platinum in tlou Video : Now for number one we have tlou

As someone with 301 Platinum trophies, including hellish ones like Fall Guys and Destruction All Stars. I would like everyone to know that no, it doesn't give you enough pride to counteract the flunking of school and Uni that this achievement causes.

I have the Beat Saber plat! I used thus game as exercise for months and then noticed I was only missing three or four trophies so I got them. It was definitely the most fun I had getting a platinum! And I TOTALLY looked cool while doing it. Trust me.

I have the platinum for Call of Duty Black Ops 3 which only 0.1% of players have because u have to get every accolade in the campaign. Which includes getting all camos for all guns which is about 500 kills per weapon. Also you have to beat the campaign on realistic which mean one shot your dead. Luckily for both of those parts BO3 was one of the only campaigns that allows co-op so that made it easier. But the absolute hardest accolade was beating the training simulator on realistic... that was a nightmare. But it was very satisfying to have that trophy pop.

I only have one of these platinums, Shadow of the Colossus (the ps4 remake). It was totally worth the effort! If there are multiplayer trophies or trophies tied to insane difficulty I cannot be bothered 😅
