Related to LastLousyPoint, this is that one achievement ([[{{Playstation3}} or trophy]]) that keeps you from true [[CosmeticAward HundredPercentCompletion]]. It's guaranteed to cause [[ClusterFBomb Cluster F Bomb]]s. It can easily involve TheComputerIsACheatingBastard or FakeDifficulty, though in many cases, the difficulty is indeed legit. It often needs to be unlocked in ThatOneLevel, during ThatOneSidequest (of which it is a SubTrope), or while fighting ThatOneBoss. Often it's something absolutely no one would think to do. And for gamers afflicted with OCD, it's their worst nightmare.

** Then there are the Vidmaster Challenges which rewarded the much desired Recon armour to anyone able to beat them all. Some were easy, like finding skulls on DLC maps, getting 50exp in a playlist, getting 7 exp on the 7th of the month. Then you had one for doing a level on legendary without firing a shot or throwing a grenade. two of the harder ones were clearing the last levels on Hal3 and ODST on legendary, with Iron on and in Ghosts or Mongooses although with good players this can be done in 30 minutes. The absolute bane of anyone getting to Recon was the "Endure" Vidmaster, which required you to survive 4 waves of enemies in ODST Firefight on Heroic in 4 player co-op. You were under threat fron the enemies, the ever increasing difficulty, incompetant players or someone lagging out and ending the game. It takes two hours to do as well, so make sure nothing interupts you.[[/folder]]

** HaloReach had "If They Came To Hear Me Beg", which had you trying to survive a fatal drop by assassinating an Elite, which came down to finding an Elite by a high enough cliff, getting lucky to fall duirectly behind him and then pressing the buttons at just the right time to trigger the assassination.

** Halo 3 had ones such as "Overkill", which required you to kill 4 players within 4 seconds of each other on a ranked free-for-all game, which only had 6 players in each match. You either got really lucky or depending on the game mode, you would have to camp somewhere and hope 4 people would appear at once that you could kill before they killed each other

* Although later achievements have become considerably easier to obtain, the first achievement packs in ''TeamFortress2'' were pretty hard to obtain, particularly the Medic's, which included a lot of fighting for a class whose main purpose is healing. "Placebo Effect", "You'll Feel a Little Prick", "Does It Hurt When I Do This?", and "First Do No Harm" are among the ones that make players cringe the most. "Placebo Effect" requires the player to kill 2 enemies with a full but undeployed Ubercharge (it used to be ''5'' kills), but is nearly impossible to stage, let alone obtain in battle. "You'll Feel a Little Prick" requires the completely counter-intuitive strategy of obtaining 3 kills with an Ubercharged Scout (which is one of the least desirable and usable targets). "Does it Hurt When I Do This?" requires that 50 Scouts be killed with the syringe guns- which translates to "kill an almost impossible-to-hit enemy with an weak weapon with slow projectiles". Finally, "First Do No Harm" requires to winning a round with the highest score, but without a single enemy kill, which could very well mean sabotaging your best players in order to get it, making it nearly impossible outside of staging or Arena mode.

A lot of people still cringe when they think of Placebo Effect and You'll Feel a Little Prick.

* ''RockBand'' gets points in this trope for [[CrackIsCheaper requiring proprietary instrument controllers]] for a good deal of their achievements, especially in the third game with its specifically customized guitar and keyboard, but it started as far back as requiring the use of solo buttons in the earlier renditions.
