First time I play MK Shaolin Monks it's going fine, until I died when face Goro and then I come to Nether Realm to face Scorpion, I have no information and spoiler about scorpion.

At first I face him it's not really hard but he always block my special movement until finally I had to face him on lava ground, and it took a lot of time to avoid the fire that appeared from the bellow and pull his hook even then with a hort time and bar limit that was almost full and had to fight him 2 times from regular ninja mode to inferno scorpion, I died several times and I tried again until I won, I didn't realize that time had passed very long.

The estimated time for the first time I fighting him was 1 hour 30 minutes quite a long time, isn't it ?

In Snow Runner I switched from the Michigan map to Alaska and I think I was meant to just look but I accepted a mission to rescue the same truck you see here and it did not go well. I am so stubborn I found and dragged that other truck all the way where it needed to be and it took 3 or 4 HOURS. So dumb but something I will never forget lol

So I was super young, about 14 when I got my N46 collectors edition and this level, the Dam, confused the hell out of me, it took me over an hour to work out that I didn't have to keep going down into the Dam to finish the level, frustrating is a polite way of putting it.

The place where I got stuck for a long time is the void vessel in The First of Descendant.

Let's start from the assumption that this vessel had to be done many times because every time you got to the end you could participate in a sort of extraction to take pieces to compose to get either the character or the dog. So if you wanted to have both, you had to do this vessel hundreds of times. So the first few times it was tragic because I always lost my way. And then the map could change in three variants, so reaching the destination took me a while each time.

But not only that, ok it takes time... but the players in your team don't progress towards completion if they're not all there, so losing myself every time made me feel sorry for them (I was ashamed hahaha) but it made me go crazy. And not only that... during the map that changed and was complicated to remember, there were also parts of the path where I would regularly fall down and have to start again.

Now I'm going fast and I'll arrive before everyone else :D

Secret of Mana (SNES)

We're pretty sure you already know what you're submitting to this reward simply from reading the title, right? Getting stuck in somewhere in a video game means you spend hours in one place, meaning it burns an image into your memory (and possibly your TV). For me, it's the Deling City sewers in Final Fantasy VIII. Or the D-District Prison. Or Galbadia Garden. I guess FF8 had a few sticky patches... Anyway, for this reward, tell us about an area of any video game where you got stuck for a looong time - perhaps you got lost, got stuck on a puzzle, or were underleveled and couldn't fight your way out - and show us, too, by adding screenshots, videos, or video links in a social media post on any platform. Your illustrations don't have to be original for this one, it's fine to reshare existing media, but give credit to other creators if you do so....

So you head over to the "highlands" to kill a Twister Chicken or “Tornadokücken.
And now you should find the hidden Mushroom village…
To find it you need to smash some boulders in a small passage guarded by an owl.
I found the owl, but didn´t understand what to do there.
So I keep searching for other places… which will never lead me further.
I was 10 or so and got frustrated.. since the guide book told the same.
Find a secret passage bla bla bla…
Min. a year later I plugged the game back in and gave it another try just to stumble over the passage and smashing the rocks by accident.

From there… I was so over-leveled by not finding the way in the past.
Jeah i asked my Dad, but he couldn´t remember either.

The German adaptation of Secret of Mana actually has a “lindenstraßen” joke inside.

The level ‘Snow Go’ from Crash Bandicoot Cortex Strikes Back had me stuck for SO long! I kept losing lives at the simplist things but the ice just made everything harder and I slipped on every obstacle. So so frustrating, but I did get there eventually after at least one or two evenings repeatedly playing it!!

GoJapan 2/27/2025, 4:37:52 AM

The first game that comes to mind is Shadows of the Colossus. Some giants were difficult to find, it was more the time spent riding indefinitely than to defeat them. I remember that there was a particular giant that was underground type or in a temple, but I could not find it, a nightmare!

Hahaha I immediately remembered when I was too lustful and excited to be in the lush caves. Already full equipment directly mining after inventory full it's time to go home that's where karma comes. Hahaha I forgot the way home with the state of equipment to mine already low and stuck when I saw the clock it turned out that I had been 3 hours wandering around without direction hahaha

Thanks :)

It is indeed! The D-District Prison. I don't think I actually got stuck there, but it's burned into my memory as if I did...

When I was playing freshly wiped rust servers, I have so many times got stucked on the spawn! Here you have how starter area looks from one of the servers.

https://twitter.com/ErsecondPL/status/1895030559493001638

Why is that? Spawn area isn't that huge, most of the time it is like 1/6, 1/5 of whole beach. And think about this like that: On the wipe on the most servers (everybody knows when the wipe is so they're waiting to server restart and join just from the start, at the same moment!) there's like from 300 people to 600 people, and those people are trying to leave the spawn! It's a slaughter!, everybody is smashing each other with their stones, shooting with bows etc... Sometimes it even takes more than 2 hours to leave, but even if you leave and you forgot to put slepping bag (which is your spawn) you go back to the starter beach!

Spawn in Rust is an entire coast. Depending on the map size, the spawns can populated in a short distance or a very long distance. I've only really played 6k maps, but I've made about 20 maps, and thats the way the system proc-gens spawns.
You make a good point though, unexperienced players can have a really hard time getting a start in any server that had seen a significant population since wipe.

I always thought that there's designed area for that mostly in green area ( I sucided hundrends of times to get better spawn), I've never experienced spawning in winter or desert sooo, I don't think it is true that entire coast is spawn. I mean, I only have 1.4kh. Maybe the thing is that I always played on bigger servers with bigger maps, I don't know.

ENDERS 2/28/2025, 8:14:31 AM

Usually from one lighthouse to the other defines the spawn coast, however spawns can generate along the same coast as the lighthouses, a bit further than them.
It is always one side of the island though, be it the north, south, east or west coast.

TheHermit 2/27/2025, 11:52:36 PM

FF7 - Demon's Gate. There is a save point going into the fight. If you don't know what you're walking into, you save without a thought, because why would it be a problem? I'll tell you why. This boss fight is very, very hard (impossible?) if you're under-leveled at this part of the game. So what's the issue with the save point? Well, if you're not a high enough level, and you die, you go back to that save point going into the fight...to fight the same boss that you can't beat. There is no, "Oh, I guess I should go grind and level up, or get better equipment." No, you're stuck there. I fought SO many times before finally admitting to myself that I was going to have to start my entire game over. You'd better believe I was ready for the fight the second time around, and still saved on a different slot just in case.

Celestia in Zelda Twilight Princess

https://twitter.com/AngelGrana88570/status/1895265562542120960

It's a Wii game that came out in 2006 that I played as a child when it was released and I can say that it has many puzzle areas but Celestia is the worst in my memories.

I remember this area as one of the most complicated in terms of puzzles and things you have to do to get around obstacles, kill enemies and reach the boss of the area, Although this game has many puzzle areas, I remember that I spent more time in this one than in the rest when I was a child years ago and I still remember it with the same feeling of frustration to get out of there

I spent a long time there because at that time I didn't know about internet guides if there were any and also the map being cut and with different levels makes it an endless labyrinth if you don't know where to go

SIFU has been out for a while but it's still the hardest game in my recent memory. It's stylish as hell, especially if you love kung-fu movies, but you can't really button-mash your way through this game.

Well, you can, until you get to Sean. He's the second boss in the game and unless you know how to dodge, you'll have a hard time getting past him. It took me several sessions across several days to beat him - and I still felt like I got lucky.

And it's not like exploring will provide you with any advantages over Sean and you cannot power level to become stronger either. Not the first time anyway IIRC.

I'm not a person to throw a controller at the wall, but I got close to it with this game. 🥲

I was 10 at the time, playing the game for the first time on my PS2. The game has always been extremely challenging, but it's normal that after a few tries you'll get the hang of it.

Now when the difficulty is FINDING THE ENEMY, it gets harder hahaha. There was no video on YouTube to find out where it was, we had to really look for it and my friend... It was a struggle to find the 8th colossus of this magnificent game.

Today I laugh at the story, but at the time I wanted to break the video game!

This is where i stuck in The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask.

in the Ancient Castle of Ikana.

It was hard, especially when i need to use the ocarina. i have short term memory. so this is confusing for me.

Q:"Which of the dungeon you hate most?"
A:"Everything"

They nailed it as the last dungeon needed to finish the game, it was fun lost in here.
I hope i can back and enjoy games like this...
