00:06welcome to mojo plays and today we're looking at the hardest of the heart for our non-playstation
00:11fans a platinum trophy is the highest tier achievement you can get it acts as a badge of
00:16honor signifying 100 completion of a game and unlocking all other trophies depending on the
00:21game trophies can range from that was easy to maybe jail will be nice these are the 10 hardest
00:27games of the decade to platinum oh and because 2026 isn't over yet i'm gonna count 2015 just cause
00:33before we continue we publish content all week long so be sure to subscribe and ring the bell to
00:39get notified of our latest videos final fantasy 7 rebirth the powers that be like what we have to
00:45offer gave us permission to race in the gold cup so i went and signed you up as soon as
00:50i could the
00:51open zone design of final fantasy 7 rebirth split the room pretty quickly some players appreciated
00:56the freedom the optional hunts and the side activities while others felt the sandbox structure
01:00just padded the experience stretching playtime without the need for it to be stretched whether
01:05you loved or rolled your eyes at the open world detours there's one thing most fans agree on the
01:09platinum trophy is brutal earning it means diving into punishing combat simulations clearing demanding
01:15battle trials tracking down obscure collectibles and tackling secret bosses that do not mess around
01:20it's not just about finishing the story it's about mastering every system the game throws at you
01:25oh and mastering your nerves for completionists determined to stamp their authority on final
01:30fantasy 7 rebirth platinum becomes a full-time commitment with purpose oh yet a stripling
01:38one whose metal must be tested
01:43monster hunter world
01:50grandpa father i wish you were here to see this there's this idea floating around that if a platinum
01:56trophy just takes a long time it isn't really difficult trophy hunters will tell you that's
02:01nonsense over here in a mojo video by yours truly time investment absolutely counts as difficulty i've
02:07got to pay bills i can't spend a thousand hours in a game casually first you're grinding your way to
02:12hunter rank 100 which alone can take well over 100 hours depending on how efficient you are
02:16then comes the real test of patience earning both gold and miniature crowns for every large monster in
02:21the game these crowns are tied to size variations that rely heavily on rng meaning you can't hunt the
02:28same creature dozens of times without the right spawn it's not mechanically impossible but it demands
02:33endurance assistance and a tolerance for repetition clocking in at an estimated 300 plus hours this
02:39platinum isn't going to happen naturally
02:48red dead redemption 2
02:57when people talk about punishing rockstar completions grand theft auto 4 usually gets mentioned first
03:03mostly because of its brutal multiplayer requirements but red dead redemption 2 might actually be the
03:08tougher mountain to climb especially on the single player side hitting a hundred percent in this
03:13world isn't just a matter of finishing the story and taking off a few simple collectibles the game is
03:17packed with sprawling side activities lengthy challenges and layered progression systems that demand
03:23serious time investment even hunting incredibly specific and rare creatures has become stories of
03:28hilarity some players spending days looking for particular animals then there's the gold medal requirement
03:34you need 70 gold rated story missions and unlike older rockstar titles you have to complete all objectives
03:39in a single run of each mission no mixing and matching best attempts with only 104 story missions total
03:45you don't have much wiggle room
03:56cup head has a reputation and it's earned every bit of it it's one of those indie games people recommend
04:07with a grin knowing full well what they're signing up for unlike our last three entries the platinum trophy
04:12isn't some 100 hour marathon in theory you could snag it in under 20 hours in reality i lied you
04:19won't
04:19the game is brutally skill focused built around tight reaction windows pattern memorization and boss fights
04:25that demand near perfect execution you're going to replay levels a lot the pacifist trophy alone is
04:31a headache asking you to clear every run and gun stage without defeating a single enemy which sounds
04:36simple until you're dodging chaos with zero margin for error then there's beat the devil at his own game
04:40which requires finishing the entire game on expert most can't bloody do it on easy
04:54tetris effect
05:00nearly four decades later tetris is still the ultimate split personality game play casually and it's calming
05:07almost meditative try to master it and suddenly it's a world championship and a sport you learn
05:12that arvo the game itself is beautiful hypnotic even but one trophy in particular turns it into a gauntlet
05:18seriously seriously is infamous among playstation completionists because it demands an ss rank
05:24in every mode where it's possible that's not just one lucky run that's consistent near flawless
05:31performance across a range of rule sets and challenges you need precision stacking perfect timing and
05:36understanding of scoring mechanics that goes far beyond casual play for players who are already
05:42playing at an elite level it's a brutal challenge and that's from the big dogs themselves
05:56devil may cry 5
06:05devil may cry 5 is probably the hardest hack and slash game of the 2010s at the very top of
06:09its
06:09difficulty curve is heaven or hell mode in which enemies behave as if they're on the previous highest
06:14difficulty but they die in a single hit oh and also you die in a single hit on top of
06:19this handicap
06:20there's also no checkpoints throughout levels forcing you to restart an entire chapter if you lose all
06:25three of your lives the platinum trophy is guarded by one particular trophy that not only requires you
06:30to beat this mode but gain s ranks on each and every chapter that means there'll be no safe cheesy
06:35strats to help you get through the fights you'll have to actually play you've got to come to the table
06:40with skill not tricks
06:47outlast 2
06:59outlast 2 is already nerve-wracking on a normal playthrough and getting platinum isn't just one brutal requirement
07:04in that world it's a stack of them first up is the saint trophy which means clearing the entire game
07:09on insane difficulty in that setting death sends you all the way back to the beginning so one mistake
07:14can wipe hours of progress while you're there you may as well aim for the messiah trophy as well which
07:18demands finishing insane without reloading your camera batteries this means you're going to have
07:23to memorize areas because you'll need to stumble through the dark and make sure you've got batteries
07:27for those couple of moments then comes profit forcing you to complete the game without hiding in
07:32barrels or closets removing one of your main survival tools oh and there's a trophy for beating the game
07:37in under four hours either way you're going to get to play a lot of outlast 2.
07:49wolfenstein 2 the new colossus
08:04on the surface wolfenstein 2 the new colossus has a pretty typical trophy list collectibles upgrades
08:10boss fights nothing out of the ordinary for a single player shooter what's this mine lieben what the hell
08:16is that trophy finish the entire campaign in one sitting on the hardest difficulty without dying a
08:21single time no checkpoints no retries i'm gonna stop this bit one death and your save file is wiped
08:27meaning you start the six hour campaign from scratch including every unskippable cutscene nah i'm good
08:33it's not just a test of combat skills it's a test of endurance and focus you need to memorize enemy
08:39placements master encounters and stay locked in for hours one lapse in concentration and it's over
08:45for many players mine lieben isn't just difficult it's a war story
08:55street fighter 5. for those who i wish to protect i will fight you
09:06fighting games have always been about mastery there's a reason top players train like it's a sport
09:11it's kind of no jokes like a sports game street fighter 5 leans fully into that competitive
09:17mindset with one particular intimidating trophy let's fight someone strong on paper it just asks
09:23you to reach the gold league in online ranked play in practice that means climbing through a gauntlet
09:28of increasingly skilled opponents who understand matchups punishers and combos far better than the
09:33average player you're not grinding ai you're battling real competitors who are just as determined
09:38to rank up every loss costs points every win inches you forward to break into gold you can't just be
09:45a
09:45casual player you have to be competitively trained for an equivalent example our first entry on monster
09:51hunter world was play 30 minutes of soccer alone in your backyard every single day for a year our street
09:56fighter 5 entry has become good enough to compete in the fifa world cup
10:07crypt of the necro dancer
10:15crypt of the necro dancer has a reputation that borders on myth among trophy hunters the game itself is
10:21already punishing similar to cuphead and that's kind of the charm but the trophy that cements its
10:26legend is lowest of the low to earn it you must complete an all characters run meaning nine full
10:32clears in a row one with each character without dying and that's not the worst part you have to do
10:37it without picking up a single item no better weapons no damage boosts no healing nothing you're stuck
10:44with base stats the entire time one missed time step one miss sized beat and the run is over hours
10:51of
10:51progress gone instantly it's brutally technical mentally exhausting and wildly unforgiving there's
10:58a reason the completion rate is less than 0.01 percent
11:01that's a reason why i think i think i think i think i think i think i think i think
11:10i think i think
