The 10 Hardest Xbox Achievements

7 Day Survivor – Dead Rising

Every Dead Rising player hates this title. To get this award, you have to stay alive for 7 in-game days, which is 14 hours of continuous gameplay in the mode that should not be called “Infinity Mode.”

You can’t take your eyes off the ball for a second because your health is always going down and you can only get so much food. To get more food, you have to find and kill people who have gone bad, then hide until the next group comes. It’s a nightmare-like endurance test, and for some players, that was enough to keep them from getting this title.

LASO Master – Halo: The Master Chief Collection

LASO Master is more like a masochistic gauntlet than a task to reach a goal. It teaches you how to handle pain. The LASO playlist puts your Halo campaign on the hardest setting and turns on every skull. Skulls are modifiers that are meant to make it very hard for you to stay alive. You also have to beat not just one Halo game, but four of them.

That includes the Halo 2 mission, which is known for being hard. Don’t worry about beating the boss; you’ll lose your patience long before you get this title. It’s insanely hard, and only a small part of the Halo group is good at it.

Mein leben – Wolfenstein 2: The New Colossus

Deathless achievements belong in the grave, which is the one place they’ll never get to, so it shouldn’t be a surprise that they’re some of the hardest to pop. Wolfenstein 2: The New Colossus has an achievement called “Mein Leben” that requires you to beat the game on the hardest level with only one life.

In some parts of Wolfenstein, things can get really bad. Bullets will kill you in an instant, and if you die, you have to start over. You have to know everything about the campaign inside and out. Those who are brave enough to try can take comfort in the fact that the story can be won in just over four hours. But let’s face it, the other 100 hours were wasted on dead runs.

Emperor! – The Elder Scrolls Online

Bad things should not be done online. They’re basically time bombs that could go off at any time, making them impossible to get. When a server dies, an award dies with it, and that graveyard is full. To keep this from happening, an online game needs to stay popular. Elder Scrolls Online is still going, which is good news. Unluckily, it has a ridiculously hard thing to do.

You almost have to drop everything and give this your full attention for a while. You have to be the best player around, which is getting harder and harder to do now that ESO has been around for a while. When a goal goes from being a big task to a full-on way of life change, you know it won’t be easy to reach.

Battle Master – Resident Evil Code: Veronica X

Resident Evil is a series that is used to giving hard but fair tasks. Most of the games in the series require you to beat them quickly. Code: Veronica X might be one of the most difficult RE games to finish.

Battle Game is its own mode, and you can choose from five characters to clear B.O.W.s from a number of rooms. It is also the mode where this very hard award can be found.

To get A marks, you have to speedrun this mode with every character. Each character comes with a different set of weapons. For example, Wesker only has a knife, which you must use to kill everything. If you’re lucky and quick, you might find a magnum, which is pretty important for the boss fight.

Stampers Forever – Rare Replay

Rare Replay has to get the award for collecting the most difficult item. Most collecting achievements are fun and easy, but Stampers Forever puts your collecti-thon skills to the test by asking you to get all 330 stamps in all 30 of its games.

From the Rare collection, you can’t pick and choose what you like best. Prepare to know everything there is to know about how Rare games are made by the end of this award. The collection has a lot of different games, and some of them are notoriously hard, like Battletoads, which will be hard to get past. Few people have this one, so if you’re a real stamper, you’re pretty much a Rare developer now.

MR.PERFECT – Mega Man 10

The incredibly hard No Damage achievement is the cousin of the deathless achievement that is impossible to stand. Accomplishments that can only be done if you play like a god of gods, and any damage to your body will cause you to fail. In Mega Man 10, you have to get the blue bomber, also known as Proton Man, from the beginning to the end without ever getting hit.

Mega Man 10 is hard enough to finish on its own, so asking for such accuracy is going to pull a few hairs. You won’t be able to do this unless you’re okay with 8-bit violence, which is why so few people have ever heard the popping sound that comes with this award.

What A Journey It Was… – Hi-Fi Rush

In order to get this title in Hi-Fi Rush, you have to make sure you don’t miss anything. But you have to go through a lot of trouble to do everything the game has to offer.

For a hard medal, you have to finish every difficulty level, every task, and get every collectible. You also have to S rank every stage without getting hit by a boss. Oh, and Wordle Unlimited is a rhythmic hack-and-slash, so if you don’t have a good sense of music, this hard award will be very hard for you to get.

Embrace the Void – Hollow Knight: Voidheart Edition

The Metroidvania game Hollow Knight is well-known. In particular, the boss fights stand out because they are some of the hardest parts of the game. If you find the Godhome, you can take part in the pantheons, which are boss rush gauntlets that will test your fighting skills to the max. The goal in question requires a boss marathon against 42 bosses in a row, which is hard on the fingers.

All that stands between you and a possible win is not being able to continue, bosses being set to their hardest level, bosses taking on new forms, and some fights taking place in harshly changed arenas. Even though the first four pantheons are already very hard, this one is going to take hours and hours of study to beat.

It can take up to an hour to even catch a look of the final boss, so each run will eat up your time.

Impossible, Right? – Crypt Of The NecroDancer

This achievement’s description should say something like, “Win the game without making a single mistake,” because that’s exactly what you have to do. What could go wrong?

You have to beat All Zones Mode as Coda, who has almost no health, uses a weak knife. And dies as soon as you miss a double-speed beat. Oh, and coins kill them right away, and since every enemy you kill drops coins. You’re always one move away from death. If you’ve done this, you can brag as loudly as you want.
