I'm actually apart of that 0.2 percent! I haven't finished the video yet but the main thing I remember is collecting the 100,000 rings by replaying the same level for hours on end and just turning my brain off during it

As someone who got every achievement in forces, I can agree I regret it.

I love how everyone is united on what the worst trophy to get is haha - I was unemployed for a month in early 2018 and that was the only motivation I had to crack on with Ring King. I STILL haven’t returned to the game since

The Ring King is the worst one for me as well. I like to grind Imperial Tower because you end up with 999 rings at the end of it if you take the burst path as a wolf, but maybe it's better to play Arsenal Pyramid, like you said, since that stage is a lot easier to do without messing up. Edit: I loved doing the Sonic Generations 100%, so I hope to see that next. Unfortunately, I had an issue with the Time Attacker achivements for almost a whole year, but eventually I got lucky and it worked!

The biggest problem with some of the boss stages is that the clock is STILL ticking between phases. That's what I hate most about the Death Egg Robot boss and was glad I did that first.

Personally, I feel like the best grind spot for Ring King is Prison Hall. Being an earlier stage, it's easier, you can collect 999 rings in about the same amount of time, and you don't have the double boost quick time events. It is awful, though. By the time I cleared the rest of the list minus that one, I was sitting at about 51,000 rings. This means that yes, you have to just play the same stage over and over again at 999 rings until it eventually pops. Congrats on clearing the list.

Getting all the achievements for me wasn’t bad. I did the smart thing of replaying stages with good music and watch Breaking Bad on the side.

Oh my God I laughed so hard during certain parts, especially watching you grind Rings like a mad man 🤣🤣

Great video! Respect the dedication and cant wait to see more of this style from you in the future.

As some French Content creators I know said resumes what this game really is: An Insult! To the Fans, the developers, the consumers, and to SEGA, literally EVERYONE!

Only 2.7k subscribers, more people need to see your videos man love the content

really enjoyed this video, good work man :) (will defenetly be bindging most of your other work :D)

I really don't remember suffering with the Ring King achievement... though I admitedly played more Sonic Forces than probably anyone on the planet, so I believe I just got it naturally

Congratulations DUDEEE!!!!! I looked at the trophy’s on PlayStation I just can’t do it myself but nice platinum!!

Really well played i did this in a single sitting speedrun last year took me 32 hours to do when i went in for a first playthrough and it was something let me tell you i could get that time down a lot if i practiced

I got to be apart of that 0.2% a little over a month ago, along with 100%ing the game itself, one of the WORST experiences of my life, respect the hell out of you, its hard

Forces had so much potential, but due to either poor planning or lack of time or resources, it ended up falling short. At least with Frontiers, things are going in the right direction again for the video games. I never attempted to 100% Forces (mainly due to my lack of interest) so more power to you for doing so. Especially since it looks tedious and painful.

I’m part of the 0.2% did it back in high school about a few months after the game released. I beat the game and decided to go for it since all the hard challenges were all I needed to do. In summary, getting plat in Frontiers was a harder flex than this fucking game.

As someone who got the last collectibles yesterday this vid hits close to home, i only have a few time trails and then the 100k rings left til i get plat

This video made me buy the game on PlayStation just to go platinum, thank you

You are an absolute madman. I couldn’t even do this with all the willpower in the world.

Great Video!!! As someone who is trying to get the platinum trophey for this game I gotta say so far its hasn't been that bad just boring. I kinda had fun getting the red,number and moon rings in the stages . The only think I'm not looking forward is beating the stages in a certain time (especially classic sonic cause his stages are the worst in my opinion). I'm not looking foward for the rings achievement, I haven't even got ring collector yet 😓. But nonetheless great video earn my sub!!

You sir are a trooper, this game upset me so much I same day returned it to gamestop lol

I’ll be so honest I absolutely loved getting this platinum when I did it, my top 5 favourite platinum trophies I’ve achieved

I remember getting this on the Xbox. I feel your pain on that ring collection. Such a massive grind and unnecessary achievements.

I am on my way to getting the platinum trophy, but holy moly it is a pain. I also have been playing the game since 2020, so I understand.

Glad to be a part of the 0.2 percent! The worst moments for me were completing the final boss in 270 seconds and that awful rings/enemies grind. The Platinum playthrough also kinda killed my interst in the game completely, so now I can only stomach playing it for a couple of minutes (even though I got the trophy 5 years ago).

this game is the modern Sonic 06, it's going to get its P-06 eventually and people are going to love it

Just saw this video yesterday, and today I picked up the game to get Platinum in it. Wish me luck

As someone who 100% forces on Xbox. I wonder what they were thinking when making achievements and why they decided it was a good idea to make 3 different collectibles that can only be collected after all of the previous collectibles are already collected.

One of the .2 percent here! I'm absolutely certain that it being so low is not because it's difficult, but because it's _just that bad_ of a game. Probably better than Boom, but nothing else. As for my grind spot, I used the Avatar level you play to free Sonic. I don't remember what it's called, but it's early, and I could easily bank max rings each time. Still a massive pain though.

I literally kept playing the last oc level on hard mode to get 999 rings each attempt until I got Ring King. That achievement took me a long time to complete.

Good music in the background i love prise!

Awesome video man, always love a good trophy hunt. That grind... looks painful, haha. Good on you for making it through, I reckon I'll be doing it myself at some point

I've done this and the defeat badnicks and collect ring achievements were the bain of my existence

3:26 I love that part of your video

This game has been on my list incomplete since April. I really need to get it done. Will be such a relief to finally get it done. I'm glad I finally have confirmation that I just need to play the same level for the ring trophies.

I'm also part of that 0.2% with the Plat trophy and I remember how many days it tooked me to finish that damn ring grind. Among all the Sonic games I had plat'd, Forces was the worst one, by far.

I remember plating the game last year. Decided to just get the other trophies. Spent an hour doing the final boss Speedrun it was hard.

After S raking this game, I still have a lot of achievements to do

The Sonic Forces Platinum trophy was one of the first ones I got on the PS4, honestly I didn't find it that difficult, just time consuming. Sonic Generations gave me a little more work and Sonic Unleashed I couldn't even imagine doing it.

I just platinumed this game 2 days ago, and I honestly kinda enjoyed learning the stages and playing better over time as a result (don't get me wrong, it's still a flawed game). I'm surprised no one considers grinding out Secret 6 for Ring King. With the void wispon and bird species' double jump, you can optimize your run to finish the stage in under 20 seconds with 360 rings

I remember grinding that pyramid level. I almost gave up but remembered I paid money for this game and plowed through. It was bloody painful

I used to play this game but after I got everything done I got bored of it I even got all the missions on s rank which I’m at least proud of.

Cant wait for more content!

Remember deciding to do this for a laugh and to kill time till a new game released. I regret that decision

I'm glad somebody else agrees Forces had good ideas (particularly Infinite) but almost definitely got screwed over by... something behind the scenes. Before Frontiers I was convinced Sonic Team was trying to bring "modern" Sonic back to the 2000s with Forces but just couldn't and that it would hopefully mean the next game would actually be good, and then it was.

Ugh, the ring grind killed me back when I finished this game in 2017. Sadly I know I’m crazy enough to do it again whenever I feel like finishing the Steam version.

I swear it was more than 0.2% (somehow part of)but that ring trophy was different

there's a funny video where someone beats two levels with one hand, mainly by Boosting. oh, and i like the way you made your second Avatar look like Amy!

Thanks to a certain uh... Global Pandemic, I was finally able to get this Platinum on PS4. Glad I wasn't the only one who braved their way through it. Cheers all!

As a person who has had this platinum since 2017, I have to say, I still see rings in my nightmares.

sonic forces was the first sonic game i managed to finish as i never had the patience and skill to finish any of the games and i'm actually almost done with phase 2 and starting to wonder if it was a good idea in the furst place 😂

I haven't played Sonic Forces (nor do I have any plans to), but that 100K ring achievement reminds me of the Pop 100K Puyo in Puyo Puyo Champions. I don't know why Sega wants people to grind their games til they aren't fun anymore.

I really regret doing this twice, once on Xbox and the other on Steam. Around 50 hours of my life I will never get back

For the two bosses that the avatar fights, you should have given him the burst wispon. All you do is hold down the trigger button, and the stream of fire from it never goes away till you let go of it. You can easily shave off half of infnite's and the death egg's helath by doing so making the progress a whole lot faster

Had I just gotten the game and was already struggling with the 5th red rings in the FIRST level 😂 Man I ain’t even focused on the story

Honestly i can sum up this platinum and achievement collection in one word. GRINDING. No joke this game you will be literally GRINDING your life to finish some of these achievements because the game doesn't keep track of the new unholy trinity: Rings. Enemies. And avatar exp

You can beat Infinite in like 30 seconds (not counting transitions from phase 1 to phase 2) as the Avatar by using the Burst wispon, waiting until he lands, the melt him, literally. You can do this for both phases. I did this on Nintendo Switch. I don't know if it's different between consoles, but probably not.

The ones who platnumed team sonic racing are in the history books

Wow, didn’t know I was part of that >1% that have the Platinum lol. I think the Game can be Enjoyable but I wouldn’t call it Good.

The ring trophy reminds me of getting a million lums in Rayman Legends for the last costume

I got every achievement in this game on Steam a few days ago. My friend is mad at me for it.

You should get all the trophy’s for the 2011 release of Sonic CD, I got them all about two months ago and it was really rewarding.

now i feel bad as i beat this game and got the plat in about a month... kinda was enjoying the music and just kept replaying some stages, that and miscounted the timer for the final boss and got that bad boy down to if memory serves like 3 mins... this was one of the more easier plats for the sonic ps4 era of games, even easier then sonic generations imho,

Also part of the 0.2 percent. Getting the platinum was the most fun part of this game for me. I’m a big checklist guy when it comes to games.

14:13 i wonder what the music is supposed to be, it's been in my head for a while

I have the Platinum on Sonic Forces and yes it was a nightmare to get 😫

I'm part of it. Also I have all Sonic's platinum. The most terrible and difficult one is the Sonic and All Star Racing Transformed for psvita and Sonic Unleashed for Ps3. Sonic Forces was actually enjoyable to me.

I wish, i had all achievements in forces, but i must replay the whole game because for the achievement, where you must clear all missions (the xbox hasn't count 1 mission and i don't know which one) and that's why i haven't the last achievement. But yeah, the ring achievement has also taking me many days to get the amount of rings, even with the purple wisp's power.

Got to hold my hands up and say I've got all the entire 1000G on this game and all the others on the Series X. It wasn't too bad, I honestly enjoyed Forces (since it's average) much more than Sonic Superstars (which is beyond bad).

I'm apart of the 0.2 percent and got that in 2021. I'm also a speedrunner, so completing the speedrunning missions were very easy. Ironically, I played this game a lot more than Sonic Mania (I have nothing against Sonic Mania, I just couldn't get myself to play it often). Sonic Forces was ironically a fun game to speedrun but sucks ass playing casually. For completing missions, I opt for drill (with the abilities to stop on a dime and gain a burst of speed after stomping) as it's objectively not only the best wispon but is also stupidly OP in offense (deals a lot of damage to bosses), defense (just holding the charge makes you invincible), and movement (self-explanatory). As for getting ring king, I opt for hover with the magnet ability, and I chose Imperial Tower because its short (duh) and all the rings are in the air, most of them being I believe 10 rings. By the end of the level, you'll always have 999 rings.

This platnium trophy seems easy but my god the grind is insane Having to play all stages AGAIN for 4 times??? And 100K rings took me no joke 2 hours of straight grinding but I eventually got it and it's DLC

Hey quick question. For the rivalry begins trophy. Did you experience any issues with getting it to pop? I have PS+, I restarted my playthrough, chose hard mode, and S ranked 2 stages. I go to check the leaderboards and I can’t hit r1 or l1 and my time isn’t on there. Does it take a while to upload to the server or something?

Me and my brother played this game all in one sitting yesterday, and OH MY GOSH IT WAS SO BRAIN ROTTING! The best way I can explain it, was like we were playing a bad beat 'em up game where all you do is mash the X button for 3.2 hours and then it's over. I was super tired by the end of it, this game is literally just the game of all time.

Congrats 👏

I was thinking about going for it but after replaying the game on ps4 I think I’m fine missing out that one

THE RIVALRY BEGINS IS IMPOSSIBLE

15:29 Someone should of told him about Imperial Tower... Hover Wispon, One and a Half Minutes and a guaranteed 999 rings halfway through the stage. (1500+ rings if there was no damn ring cap...)

I got every trophy within a month of the games release, easiest platinum trophy to get tbh

Took me a month back when I got it Christmas 2017, took me 8 years to get the platinum for unleashed

I commend you brave soldier! Currently on my way to 100%ing every Sonic game on steam right now and recentley started the forces grind. This is definatley a low point especially after slogging through colors ultimate. Loved the video, can't wait to see more

The number and silver moons is what stop me oh and a few timed missions

got every archievement on the steam version, im sorry to inform you theres a level that you can consistently beat with 999 rings in about 50 seconds per try if you do it right (my record is 42 seconds iirc)

How many hours did you spend on the full game including the road to platinum trophy? I want to attempt platinuming the game but i have a feeling it is going to be insanely hard

I appreciate your videos. Don’t take what I’m gonna say wrong but I’m glad I don’t give a fuck about the trophies in a completionist methodology

I remember doing this! If I remember, the hardest part for me was Classic Sonic chemical plant, speed running the final infinite fight and ofcorse any time I played as Classic Sonic in general.

i actually liked sonic forces when i first played it. it was my second 3D boost game, the first being unleashed wii (which is genuinely a much better game), and i was around 13 or 14 so being a kid, i didn’t really know what made a good game just yet lol. it was only after trying to 100% the game that i realized, it’s just like.. not very good, at all.

After 25 hours of playing Sonic Forces I finally got the Platinum trophy!!! Looking back at the time trial it wasn't that bad it was actually fun the only stages that gave me trouble was the final infinite fight and the final boss. Only because of those dang cutscenes that take away some of your time lol

1. pick wolf avatar 2. equip void wispon 3. replay prison hall 4. ??? 5. PROFIT!!! Saying as a guy who got 100% on Steam. Time attacking final boss was annoying but achievable. It's like Kishimoto was testing the waters for Cyberspace in Frontiers. Truly the most filtering Sonic game.

I remember doing that plat for this in 2021. Getting all the rings killed my sanity.

At least 100%ing Majora's Mask isn't as stressful as this though it still be stressful. Sonic Forces is Sonic's version of Majora's Mask.

I got it and It honestly wasn’t as bad as I expected. Tuff and Grindy tho

Cool Video!

I have Sonic Forces on Xbox One, so I have got all achievements. And yes I agree, the ring grind is SO BORING!! I think I was listening to reddit stories when I was doing that.

Playing the same level 10 times a day gets you The Daily missions and Ring King at the same time. That way you're only really playing for 10 minutes a day after you've completed everything

WAIT WHAAAAAAAAAAA WHY ARE YOU SO UNDERARED

I'm also part of that 0.2% and it was an absolutely awful time!!

Funny you mention that they should retcon Infinite, because they definitely did that with Silver and Blaze
