Games

It's not so rare now; but on the second day Silksong was out, I got the achievement for defeating Phantom when it was still 0.1%

GTFO 0.2%

After that I’ve just got a bunch of ones from Risk of Rain 2 from just unlocking everything. Pretty time consuming, but very much a brain off game.

I only have 20 Civ 6 Achievements, and one this one is also my rarest steam achievement somehow. Pretty sure it's just a thing people don't try, rather than being hard.

My two rarest aren't that rare. I'm not an achievement hunter.

Divinity: Original Sin 2 A friend and I managed to finish the honour run in less then 10 tries. It was awesome at the end. I played as Sebille and he as the red prince.

this is a free game, but I don't think there are a lot of people who have played it (delivery & beyond).

otherwise it'd be these for tabletop simulator

I lost the screenshot, but i was the first one who beat crab champions on prismatic difficulty. My friend beat it a week later and was the second one. I never cared for achievements at all in video games, but seeing the 0.0% turning into 0.1% was bretty neat. It's a niche game, but i assume, just like me someone kept looking at that achievement, hoping it wouldn't flip over before they beat it.

My rarest achievement is for getting 32 silenced revolver kills in Red Orchestra 2 (0.3% of players). Technically its not too difficult, but since its a shooter with a fairly low TTK, you don't normally use the sidearm much. Further the silenced revolver is a pristige varient that has to be ground out using the original revolver, and performs worse than the unsilenced, so there is no reason to get the achievement except for completionism sake.

The achievement I'm much more proud of is Crypt of the Necromancer's Vow Down, for completing a full roguelike run with Monk. The gimmick with Monk is that the game is its normal roguelike-on-a-beat, but if you touch any gold, be it an enemy's drops or dungeon loot, you die instantly 100 to 0. This means that as well as the normal difficulty of the game, you have to plan around where you kill enemies to ensure that you always leave a safe path. I'm pretty confident that this is the most difficult thing I've ever done in a game. Technically 0.7% of player have the achievement, but given that 0.3% also have the achievement for completing the impossible New Game++++++++ character, we can effectively call it as 0.4% of players.

I am kinda saddened that it's such a mundane achievement but I'm also baffled because I didn't even go out of my way to get this one I just played normally

Is there an easy way to find out without using third party websites?

I got this through sheer indecisiveness on my first playthrough.

From Wolcen: Lords of Mayhem

apparently this, which is weird as it just requires you to get 500 kills with the Winchester Super X3

How do you check again how many copies a game sold?

Because I have some 1% achievements in games that sold millions, but I'd argue my "20% of players" achievement in a 200 reviews game is rarer.

This, from Tabletop Simulator.

All my latest most rare achievements are all from Megabonk, which IMO don't really count. They are easy to get if you just play long enough.

My rarest for a very long time was this one with something like 0.3%, but it has apparently since gone way up. It used to have one of those gold borders around it indicating it was very rare. I got this on my second round that I played and then quit pretty much right after that. Not a very good game, unfortunately.

The one I am most proud of is this one:

I got bored after I took over Britannia as the Britons and had no more enemies who could realistically challenge me, so I sailed directly down to Rome with my army of slingers and tribesmen and sacked Rome for something like 100k denarii.

EDIT: Well, nevermind, this is my newest rare achievement (for now)

From American Truck Sim

Cornfusion Drive to the center of the Evergreen cornfield maze (requires Illinois DLC)

It says .1% of players

"Derpin' With Turpin" in Tactical Intervention.

IIRC you get this under the craziest of conditions:

• You need to snipe 2 players with 1 shot who are in a car moving at max speed while you are also in a car moving at max speed, while fully zoomed in on a sniper rifle

• One of the two developers (Turpin) has to be on the server with you

Last I checked, it had an earn rate of like 0.03%. The condition of playing with one of the actual developers of the game is what makes it super hard; not really the sniping (tho that is also super difficult). It's probably not even earnable now; I got it back when the game was still being beta tested.

Edit: Got curious and went to find the actual stats for the two rarest achievements I have according to the "rarest achievements" block on my Steam profile (cuz there is 1 even rarer than the one I mentioned above), but the data isn't accessible. The rarest one I can actually see global stats for is 2nd Dan Blackbelt for Toribash (0.8%).

That one is from Witch It!, but it's bullshit, most of their achivements have those kind of extra conditions that make them hard to get (but also to prevent just cheesing them playing on an empty server so I guess that's fair)

Finished Hollow Knight 100% in Steel Soul. I don't typically chase achievements. I knew finishing Steel Soul was one, but didn't know if 100% would be another.

Apparently, completely finishing any Lego game (I have, at this point, completed 6 of them).

I have the "Edward Kelly" achievement in Kingdom Come Deliverance due to brewing 15 types of potions. Only 3.3% of players have it, which is pretty high compared to most of the ones posted here, but it's still a little interesting. Brewing potions in the game is a bit boring, and you can easily buy all the ones you need, so it's understandable why few people would get it. I just kinda decided one day I wanted to get to auto-brew level of skill and that meant lots of potion. Might as well make as many different kinds as I can, and auto-brew requires you've done it once already anyway.

My top 6 rarest are 0.4% - 0.6%, all in Eternal Card Game, just because they were still adding achievements after 90% of the player base had already left.

Even silksong came out I got the achievement for fourth chorus when it had a 1% completion rate

probably this badge

as for strictly achievements, looks like it's from human fall flat. that game just spams you with achievements though.

This one I think =w=. I don't particularly care about achievements or getting rare ones, so I don't have any super extremely rare ones

I've got quite a few <0.1% from Lost Ark, but it doesn't feel like they count since it's a free to play MMO, so the account numbers are bloated.

After that I have a 1.8% from Forza Horizon 4 (30 stars on Skill Streak) and Frostpunk (Build the generator in the DLC mission).

My top 20 rarest achievements according to steamvault were all dirt rally ones about beating easy stage times...

Not many people played dirt too seriously it seems 😄
