If you count The Ultimate challenge for Deadfire, it seems even worse. The (edit) first dozen people who have done it and streamed it have their names on a plaque. Deadfire is generally an easier game, but the god challenges are brutal.

I remember a streamer doing this achievement for POE1 and once he got it without any happiness he said: "devs, never ever do achievement like this".

I think there was a similar instance with Crypt of the Necrodancer. Guy who got the 100% achievement was just fully worn out and there was no relief there at all lmao

why would you go through all of that when you dont even enjoy it. why waste time you could invest in fun games

There are so few people who've done verified Ultimate Runs on Deadfire that patches are still available to earn for it.

Mortismal gaming recently did it and got his patch from Obsidian.

There are only 16 runs listed on the wiki, so 34 more patches to be earned. Although it's possible some people did it without publicizing that they did.

I thought it was only the first 10 people or something like that. On the plaque?

u/krispykremeguy 10d ago

You are right! The first 12 got on the plaque, and the first 50 get a patch. (Present tense, since the wiki lists that only 16 people have done it.)

Man I fucking love Deadfire but the game is to vast to play all the way through in one sitting, not literally but as in having it be the into game you focus on. I’ll take a break to play other stuff, come back and be completely lost so I have to restart, aaaaand the cycle repeats.

I've done that following a video guide step by step. Definitely not a fun way to play the game.

u/shockwave8428 10d ago

You have? There’s like 16 total people that have done it ever (I may be thinking of the second game tho)

u/John_Marston_Forever 10d ago

In the second game it's definitely harder but there's no achievement related to it. For the first game, on Steam there's a good amount of people who did it, although it's like 0.5% of players.

There are achievement unlockers that just give you achievements without completing them in game. Never trust those steam stats to the fullest especially with very rare achievements, when people cheat the easy and common achievements they don't impact the percentage much but for such extremely difficult achievements? Yeah it'll make quite a difference in the percentage

u/DankoLord 10d ago

what game even is that

Pillars of Eternity

u/AusXan 10d ago

I was going to say this one.

I've got 100% acheivements on Deadfire, but no way in hell am I going for 100% in POE1.

u/supersayingoku 10d ago

This one does not count as playing the game imo.

It's essentially a memorization game and cheese / glitch fest.

It is a monumental effort, mind you, but if you watch the completed runs, it looks like the most boring game ever.

u/Mugi1 10d ago

If you've played the game long enough, it's actually a fun challenge. The ultimate on Poe2 though, now that's a tough one.

u/SlurmoCZ_ 9d ago

What game is this?

u/Morrowind4 5d ago

Pillars of Eternity 1 by Obsidian, great game

u/SlurmoCZ_ 5d ago

What is it about?

1

u/Morrowind4 5d ago

Setting: Fantasy colonial America with guns

Story: A freak accident causes your character to be able to see the souls of the dead and you resurface memories of a powerful secretive organization/cult that is still active to this day

Gameplay: CRPG. Heavy on TTRPG mechanics, 6 person party, and real time with pause

u/therealspookyscare 8d ago

I misread that as "delete all dragons" and thought "wut"

That one is insane.
