sometimes the best challenges are the
ones you give yourself hey come on
welcome to watchmojo.com
it’s they’ll be counting down our picks
for the top 10 video game fan challenges
you can tag along if you want but keep
your head down and try not to do
anything stupid
for this list we’ll be looking at
challenges in benched by fans where the
game is played differently than how it
was originally intended by its
developers we’re ruling out speedruns
because we already have a list dedicated
to the best games for that technique and
rather than ranking challenges by
relative difficulty we’ll be looking at
how innovative and creative they are
number 10 20 20 20 20 mode five nights
at Freddy’s after the completion of the
game as well as the bonus 6th night the
player unlocks the ability for a custom
night allowing you to set the difficulty
for each animatronic enemy ranging from
0 to 20 with anything above 13 being
described as incredibly difficult
winning with all 4 set to 20 dubbed 2020
2020 mode or nightmare mode by fans was
believed by creator Scott Cawthon to be
impossible
he was shocked and congratulatory when a
handful of players proved him wrong
prompting him to add a third star to the
main menu and a new ending for
completing the challenge number nine
law-abiding citizen Grand Theft Auto 3
to 5 one of the things that makes the
Grand Theft Auto franchise so fun is the
absolute mayhem one can unleash in a
demented rampage of crime all right man
you cou that’s why this challenge takes
a ridiculous amount of restraint by
doing everything in one’s power to
complete the game while committing as
little crime as possible but I don’t
want to make a big deal about it berries
from games game but it is often possible
to beat the game committing a minimal
amount of murders and only collecting a
handful of stars what’s the point you
ask hmm then you clearly don’t get it
man
number eight no ring challenge Sonic the
Hedgehog series for a game that requires
speed and throwing caution to the wind
completing this challenge requires a
huge amount of patience and precision as
levels are designed to have players
naturally obtained rings while making
their way forward creative and intricate
alternate routes to reaching the end of
the level are required and often need
the use of enemies as momentum and
perfect timing making the challenge even
more difficult is the fact that the
Rings essentially act as the players
health meaning with no rings a single
hit will kill poor Sonic
number seven dark license to kill
Goldeneye double-oh-seven
and perfect dark rares revolutionary
first-person shooter Goldeneye as well
as it’s critically acclaimed spiritual
successor Perfect Dark have remained
popular for nearly two decades after
their initial release oh my god
after mastering every mission on all
difficulties gamers devised a challenge
that turned every generic soldier
virtually invincible by cranking up the
enemy’s health damage and accuracy to
maximum typically meaning a thousand
percent
challenge is proved to be one of the
most difficult of all time as no one was
able to beat the silo level of Goldeneye
until 2013 when it was conquered by atom
bosun while the level attack ship covert
assault in Perfect Dark remains unbeaten
to this day
number six you only live once fallout 3
and Fallout New Vegas this challenge
first created by youtuber many a true
nerd not only requires the player to
make it through the game without dying
but without healing of any kind while
any ailments inflicted upon the player
are not to be cured radiation crippled
limbs low HP all a hundred percent
permanent with every single hit being
permanent every piece of equipment and
armor that can be obtained is essential
as is selecting the right perks at the
beginning of the game guns is obviously
one that I’ll be going for as well
because I do need to be able to use guns
very very easily the run-through becomes
an almost mathematical equation for
minimizing risk and maximizing any
chance of survival in a utilitarian run
that requires extensive knowledge of the
game’s mechanics I guess I shouldn’t be
surprised we like them to keep paper
work number 5 no bonfire run dark souls
too much like its predecessor dark souls
2 utilizes bonfires which act as
checkpoints as well as a way to heal
level up and fast travel between zones
all of which are practically essential
to completing the game
however an experienced player can forego
healing by not resting at bonfires and
some truly intense players don’t even
like the bonfires meaning no checkpoints
and no death the challenge became so
popular that the developers even
inserted an item for completing it the
illusory ring of the exalted the
powerful item causes any weapon you’re
holding to become invisible which is a
real benefit for PvP play number for
three days The Legend of Zelda Majora’s
Mask there have been plenty of
challenges invented by fans of the Zelda
franchise dating all the way back to the
very first Delta game and there’s even a
challenge that requires you to beat the
game without ever obtaining a sword the
most interesting challenge for a Zelda
game however utilizes the unique three
day system of Majora’s Mask after the
initial three days as Deku scrub it’s
actually possible to get through the
game in one cycle that is with intense
planning and using the inverted song of
time
with many time-sensitive events even one
mistake could spell a premature end to a
player’s run number three always war
civilization series there are a number
of ways to win a game of civilization
and diplomacy allies and building an
empire during peacetime can be crucial
to claiming victory however for anyone
attempting this challenge that’s all
gone out the window
as the name implies the player instantly
declares war on every other civilization
they come across never allowed to make
peace a beefy military is essential as
in many cases the player finds him or
herself in a dozen wars at once and
facing off the endless hordes of enemy
troops take no small amount of planning
and luck
number two beat a non-musical game using
an instrument over the years there have
been a number of gaming peripherals and
gamers have used those to beat a variety
of games that they were never intended
for one of the earliest well-known
examples was a Japanese gamer using a
rod from a fishing game to play through
ultra hard mode of the original
Soulcalibur the popularity of guitar
hero and rock band have led many gamers
to use the guitar drums and DDR dance
pads in all kinds of games they were
definitely never meant for whoo done
these bizarre controllers severely
handicapped gamers requiring precise
skill and timing for even the simplest
of actions get off a little bit before
we unveil our top pick here are a few
honorable mentions
I give up
number one Nuzlocke challenge Pokemon
series for many of the more experienced
Pokemon players having played since
red-and-blue completing a normal pokemon
run through lacks a certain level of
difficulty the challenge originally
taken from the Nuzlocke webcomic found a
simple but creative way to correct this
while variations exist two basic rules
are consistent one may only catch the
first Pokemon encountered in a new area
and when a Pokemon faints it is
considered dead and must be released not
only does this challenge make the game
considerably more difficult it also
forges a stronger bond with the limited
amount of Pokemon the player can catch
by making it imperative to keep those
Pokemon alive do you move their list
