Ridiculous Achievements

What are some of the most ridiculous or dumbest achievements you have come across in a game?

What makes me ask this is that there is an achievement for the point and click adventure game Deponia called "Droggeljug"

How do you get this achievement you may ask? You have to replay the game with a special mode enabled that replaces all text and audio with one word... you guessed it... droggeljug.


The tricky part is that all dialogue options, descriptions etc. are all droggeljug so you have to either remember which option to choose (from playing the first time) or you have to sit with a Droggeljug Walkthrough open and follow it.

As the one Steam guide puts it:
This is one of the most ridiculous acheivements in Deponia.
Needless to say, many people will pull their hair out trying to obtain this acheivement. Since the game's release, it has been the rarest acheivement, being acheived by less than 5% of the Steam Community.

5% is a rare achievement....? it IS ridiculous though :)

I think 90% of Stanley Parable achievements are also quite ridiculous. hehe :)
 
I think Seriously 2.0 from Gears of War 2 was quite mad.

Kill 100 000 enemies. Its essentialy easy but at the same time hard.
 
Just out of interest or maybe we should start an achievement thread but what are the rarest you guys have gotten

Divinity Original sin
2%
Stray Cat Strut
Arhu is a cat forever! If you ever have a problem with mice, you know who to call.

Divinity Original sin
2%
Baaaah.
You have met the legendary weresheep!

Saints Row:the third
2%
Feeding Time
Throw 5 mascots into the water (in a single instance of Apocalypse Genki).

Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine has the "True son of the Emperor" achievement, which requires you to kill 40,000 enemies.

Yes, really.

There is one Stanley one, you have to push a button to save a cut out cardboard of a baby being burned in fire, but you have to do it for a couple of hours, and towards they end, it adds an additional thing to do.

That's the secret ending, thank BALLS they didn't make that an achievement. No, the stanley achievements are like "don't play the game for 5 years" or "play for an entire tuesday"...or click door 430 5 times (my personal favourite).
 
The hardest one I've ever heard of, and can attest to SORT of trying to do personally and realizing that it's never happening, is Super Meat Boy. Now I don't know how many of you have played that game, but it's one of the hardest games ever made (in my opinion). Kind of like Dark Souls but for 2D platformers; the controls are great but SUPER finicky, and you have to know the EXACT way, direction, speed and timing of each of the 100+ levels to finish the game.

So, for those of you who haven't played the game, there is the normal set of Super Meat Boy levels (called the Light World). Then, if you finish a level in a VERY quick time (kind of like getting a Green medal in Trackmania), you unlock the Dark World version of the level, which is the exact same level but with added hazards, less visual cues and stricter time penalties. So, you might think, the hardest achievement is finishing all of these levels in A+ time?

I still haven't gotten to the best part. After you finish the game, there's a "bonus" world called "Cotton Alley" where you play as the heroine trying to save the protagonist. However, the devs decided that they wanted it to basically be a summary of the game, so there are 20 levels that consist of the hardest parts of all of the 100 levels that are in the usual game. The achievement I'm talking about is that you have to finish all 20 Dark World levels of Cotton Alley in a row... WITHOUT DYING.

I don't even know if that's physically possible; as far as most people know, there's only one PS4 streamer that's ever done it.
 
I'm not much of an achievement whore, but I happened upon the list of achievements for Assetto Corsa and they were over 400. Boggles my mind...

The same goes for Ori and the Blind Forest. Finish the game with one life? No chance... I completed the game twice and the Ginso Tree escape sequence alone took me at least 30 tries both times. I died many hundreds of times during each playthrough.

Dark Rider from the first Darksiders game requires you to ride Ruin for 100 miles. While it sounds easy in theory it's ridiculous because most sites say that to get it you should just leave an elastic band on a controller to let Ruin run around in circles for a few hours, yes hours!

Talking about this achievement inspired me to finally put in the effort to get it and needless to say it really does take hours to achieve. I also can't see any sane person doing this without using a controller and an elastic band. I mean I literally watched a full length movie while waiting for it to unlock! :wtf: On the bright side unlocking this achievement got me my first perfect game on Steam. A perfect game being one where you have unlocked every achievement for that game. :)
