In a certain city in a certain internet cafe on a certain terminal in a modern espionage/conspiracy action-RPG thriller you can find that the person logged in before you is auctioning the collectible on ebay. If you can stay in control of the account for 48 hours (this takes much longer than 48 hours in real time) then you get a ticket which can be exchanged in a certain casino in the casino zone for the prize. Every place on earth is accessible and the casino zone is the the entirety of Macau.

10 items, 50 possible spawn locations, items are randomly positioned at the start of each game. Also items must be collected in a specific order, and that order is shuffled each game.
The strategy guide will still list all 50 locations, how to find the order, and be immediately copied onto GameFAQs and lovely YouTube videos

In the loot table of a predeployed static corpse just after a big fight where the corpse is visually identical to the large amount of enemies you just finished killing. Also they clip each other and you have to carefully inch your mouse around trying to get it to register the item corpse and not the enemy corpse that will inevitably be the actual one which is getting registered by the mouse.

inside your starter inventory, but have it labled as junk but seems to sell for a decent price (for the start of the game) then only half way through the game do you let the player know there are collectables.

and you cant rebuy anything back from vendors.

The Duke
-Up on a ledge you can see but can't get to in the first part of the game. As you progress through the game you may or may not get a random trash drop with a generic trash name like "Seed." Hold onto this item, which will auto-sell to vendors if you choose "Sell Junk." In the last quarter of the game you go back in time and come to the area before the ledge holding the item was ever built, but if you remember exactly where it was located and use the "Seed" item you will plant a tree in the past. When you go back to the present and go back to the location there's now a climbable tree that takes you up to the ledge to grab the item. This is the only time in the game when you: Plant something, use an item in your inventory through the menu, or climb a tree, but hopefully you figured it all out.

-On the world map in when taking a vehicle from one world to the next one, find some rocks out on the water and go counter-clockwise around the 4 rocks enough times and a volcano world rises up from the depths. Inside a hidden part of a level in this hidden world is an item you need or you can't get the 101% you need for a complete game.

-When level starts, jump on top of cave you walked out of at the beginning and wait for an enemy to slowly fly from within the level toward you. When it is above the cave jump on the enemy and bounce off screen to hit a barrel you can't see.

-Drop down into a pit that would normally mean death but if you are exactly centered you will hit something that shoots you sideways just under the screen then up above the screen into a secret area.

In the last map placing, and only if you organized the entire map-world in a specific order, and the game gives you absolutely no indication on how to do this right.

You are just expected to know how to place 32 locations on the loving map to unlock these things properly.

I alone can see through the media bias.

I'm also stupid on a scale that can only be measured in Reddits.
I liked how dork souls hid an entire two maps behind a breakable wall that had no indication it could be broken, which was in a secret treasure room behind a breakable wall with no indication it could be broken. Clever.

The last collectable is the player character himself. Once all the other collectables have been found, the hidden case for the final collectible opens. It is the perfect size for you. Enter and seal yourself inside forever.

Make the collectible spawn at the beginning of a level after you jump over a cutscene trigger, but you have to double jump away from the cutscene trigger after you cross the Invisible line otherwise the cutscene will end the level and you can't grab it anymore.

Further proof that Morrowind is the best game. And the reward for finding all the items for that quest?

quote:

Once you turn in all 27 Sanguine items to Eno Hlaalu, you are rewarded with Mephala's Skill, a cheap spell that grants Chameleon 50 pts and Fortify Attack 10 pts for 60 seconds for 30 magicka and never fails. This is the only way of acquiring the Fortify Attack effect for creating custom spells.

tbf it's a really good one. getting a spell like that any other way would be very expensive, and would require you to have a really good illusion skill for it to actually work, while the unique version never fails.

It is a good spell, it makes it so you're guaranteed to hit stuff. They put in a way to fix the terrible combat system, but they hid it behind a quest that almost nobody will ever complete. It's the most assholish thing, I love it

Inside the womb of a pregnant woman destined to give birth to the messiah of your dumb fantasy world. Getting it requires gutting a pregnant lady and ripping her baby apart, preventing you from getting the good, satisfying ending, instead giving you a five minute cinematic of the world being destroyed ala the nuke scene from barefoot gen followed by a standard Game Over screen when you beat the bad guy. This is considered the canon ending in the sequel. This game is of course Japanese.

E; that was gross and stupid I apologize
