What difficult games/game challenges did you give up on? (beehaw.org)

Be it a game that's difficult in its entirety, or a particular challenge in a game that you just couldn't complete.

For me, there are three that come to mind:

  • Super Hostile: Waking Up (Minecraft Custom Map, Hard difficulty). That damn water section...
  • Terraria Zenith Mode. Coming from someone to whom Master Mode is fairly easy, this was rough.
  • Calamity Death Mode (Terraria). I beat DoG (this was back when a headshot was an automatic death), but I just could not click with the Yharim fight. I also think burnout was at play here because that was a LONG playthrough.

I haven't found a noble, king, or count 20 hours in yet, but there was a quest that said I had to go fight Lord Raedric, and then I'm warned by both an NPC and a quest description that this is something I should do later because it's going to be very difficult. Is it possible that you missed the warning and went to do something late game earlier than you should have?

It's a long game, I think I just overestimated how far in you'd be at 20 hours. Since I really jammed with the game (and it was before I had 3 kids ๐Ÿ˜‚) I had done all the side quests I had found but I hadn't explored further away than the zones the side quests took you to. I will say though that plot wise it would make absolutely no sense to save it to the "late game" if that's even possible. But that is the fight I was talking about, 100%.
