Luck Missions

The bane of many gamers, "luck missions" are sections of a game where victory or defeat depends on luck. In the worst cases, skill is completely removed as a factor. At best, they're frustrating, and often treated as an infuriating stumbling block, but games that actually require this are thankfully few and far between. Save-scumming is a requirement.

The most hated of luck missions are those where the game mocks you for failing, as if it's your fault the RNG god is in a bad mood. Others resort to inciting atomic F-bombs to vent their frustration on something other than a relentless computer (or threatening you in a junkyard).

This type is especially annoying for speedrunners. Gamers can practice as much as they want to perfect the skill-based parts of a game, but that doesn't stop a speedrun from being ruined by a bit of bad luck. The same goes for score attackers, where a significant portion of their score is determined by luck.

A variant of difficulty faking. A sister type of Timed Mission and Escort Mission. A cousin type of Trial-and-Error Gameplay. It could very well be that one side quest, and that one achievement could be rewarded.

Because games can have an element of luck without making players feel unfair. Some games are intentional about randomizing gameplay, so you can adapt to that, and some games are just about luck that determines what happens next, and you can have an element of gambling in your video games. In some multiplayer games, especially party games, it can be very beneficial for the game to be somewhat dependent on luck. Not only does it give less experienced players (in party games, players playing the game for the first time) a fighting chance, but it also protects the ego of players by allowing them to blame their losses on the random number gods rather than lack of skill. This is why these elements are still so prevalent. They may not be truly fair, but they can still make the game more fun.

    • Treasure chest game. Go through the five rooms and there are two treasure chests in each room. One treasure chest has the key to the next room, and the other treasure chest contains rupee (the value of rupees depends on how it progresses), and the game ends when you find it. If you can find the key in a row in a row, you can reach the last sixth room with a heart piece. Fortunately, if you get the "true lens", you can return, and if you use it, you can see inside without opening the box.
    • There are min i-games that go through the maze generated randomly within a certain period of time. The maze walls come up after approaching the wall, so if you don't care, you may be a little confused. It is noteworthy that starting the game with a goron mask is to get a heart fragment. Fortunately, the maze itself is not so large, so most players tend to succeed in the first few times. However, there is no reliable way to break through the maze, so it is technically dependent on luck.
    Of the 14 dogs, there are min i-games that predict which dog will win the race and bet rupee. Choosing a first dog will tripled the bet, and twice will double. If you enter the fifth place from the third, the bet will return, but below will lose. If you get a total of 150 rupees in one race or a streak, you will get a heart piece as a bonus. Listening to the dog's ideas using the "true mask" can be known about the dog's performance, but no matter how enthusiastic dogs are, there is a possibility that the third and fifth will be available. Good luck to those who do not know how to use this min i-game.
    • In particular, there are two troublesome "fragments of heart". One is randomly dropped when encountered a witch maple, and the other falls from the Gasha tree. There are rings that can be worn to increase the probability of these random drops, but they are still rare. Collect all 64 rings in these games and keep them sane. Some min i-game prizes are available. Some of these two games have a higher probability of winning a lottery than a specific ring. < SPAN> treasure chest game.

      • To get the boss key in the mermaid cave, you have to pull the correct lever in a room. If you pull the wrong lever, a large amount of snake falls from the ceiling. If you pull the wrong lever, a large amount of snakes fall from the ceiling. Every time you pull the lever, you will be reset as to which lever is "correct", so you must theoretically challenge the lever pull.
      • At Oracle of Seasons, the same puzzles as the oracle of Aijizzes mentioned above to go to the 4th floor of Ancient Loin.
      • Immediately after that, Man Handra appears. Man Handra's body moves in a random direction, and the only weakness is to open the mouth randomly and shoot, which is weak only to boomerang. This is the slowest weapon in this game.

It's easy at first, but you have to defeat it within 40 seconds in a mission (this is a pretty tough limit), and in another mission you have to defeat one shot! Also, in the last mission with the acma, by defeating the Akuma match for 10 consecutive games, each time you win, your physical strength will be charged little by little.
      Broforce has a special game mechanism that challenges missions with a combination of random characters.

Snake, on the other hand, moves at the same speed as the normal armd blow, but has a hang glider, and plays a role like a supermario world cloak if used well.

        • The cave story has a hell bonu s-level aisle, where various large and small blocks come down, giving 10 damage completely randomly. It would be safer to cross the area using a booster 2. 0 while taking 5 damage from the angel and still Mercy. People who play in Hard in the Nicalis transplant version (or those who are playing in 3 life in the original version) are particularly painful. While the entire bonus level of hell is Hard from the Hard, the property of the aforementioned corridor is fully opened. The protagonist is killed with a bad combination of blocks that the player could not predict.
        • In Devil May Cry 4 Secret Mission 4, 99 red orbs must be found within time. Orbs are recovered as bundles and cache, but their positions and amounts are random each time they try this secret mission. Depending on the luck, finding two large red orbs near the starting point can easily clear this mission, or may be forced to find three hidden places.
        • The to p-down shutter stage of the Gun Star Heroes version of the Game Boy Advanced version is also in this category. Even if the damage is high, even if the last section of the stage is in time for the attack helicopter, everything is determined by whether the missile, laser, and submarine are hit or not. Therefore, as a strategy for this boss, we have to pray with spray while praying that the last section has some physical strength. < SPAN> Cave Story has a hell bonus level aisle, where various blocks come down, giving 10 damage each randomly.

            • The Russian indie game Hammerfight has the unfortunate addition of the "siege bomb." This bomb will instantly kill any character (including you) on contact, and even if it misses, it has an insanely large explosion radius that can easily take half of the player's health from half a screen away. Its power is commensurate with its high price (Too Awesome to Use). But NPCs will throw it at you like crazy, especially when it's an inch away from your face and you can't dodge it in time. It's especially infuriating in the arena, where at higher levels you have to fight a constant stream of enemies.
              • Pandemic 2 is mostly a mission of chance. You can play it more or less perfectly, but your win depends on sealing off one or two isolated regions before they get infected. It usually does, and there's nothing you can do about it except try again (and hope you start from one of these regions). Madagascar, being the most isolated region, has achieved Memetic Mutation status; the Kongregate-hosted version of the game acknowledges that fact with a Madagascar Presidential Badge.
              • In Plague Inc., even if a dog sneezes, Madagascar closes everything off, but you still have the option to enter the country. One such way is the Parasite. One of the evolutionary traits turned you into a Puppeteer Parasite that can slam infected planes into Madagascar regardless of borders. Even if your disease lacks the ability to enter the country, you could still get lucky and get a popup saying "Disease somehow infected [country]!"

Jump to the stepping stone to go to the other side of the hole, or to go back to the poison gas room, which has just escaped, and to die. However, even if you choose a jumping, it is very likely that you will die as a "splash & burn". The stepping stone moves very fast (resembles the blinking speed), so the timing does not match. And it became clear that it was the only way.

A ferocious Wague may be captured by Wood Elf long before arriving in the wood elf dungeon. And if the wolf kills the only person who can open the jail of the jail and stands on the other side of the door, the game will not win.

This is because the wizard may cast "Fall" (drop) or "Float" (floating) while riding a hot air balloon.

Do this by operating a belt conveyor and other mechanisms. The 99th final level of the game is the Kill Screen by the developer, and this type is performed as it is. There are six shots of the same type, and when you put a suitcase in the shot, you will come out of one of the other five shots in four directions. There are also some belt conveyors to put a suitcase in a bottle. If you have a wrong color, you have to start over. The problem is that it cannot control where it goes, and that all the odds are being disadvantaged in all possible ways. Didn't you think it would be worse anymore? You have to be lucky four times. Even worse, even if you managed to get over it, there is no new excitement that celebrates the victory and all the defeats. Instead, it will be returned to level 1, and you will be able to play your favorite level after defeating the final level.
                      • In the early Carmen San Diego games, in rare cases, despite your best efforts, there is not enough evidence to narrow down the Peten teacher you are chasing. The best thing you can do at this point is to claim a warrant to one of the suspects, and pray that you are correctly inferring them when you arrest them. If not hit, return to the start. Thankfully, this problem has been revised in the later series.
                      • In that regard, if you haven't solved the case much yet and one of the suspect's candidate happens to be Carmen himself, you may not be able to exclude it from the list. However, before excluding Carmen, it is important to know exactly when Carmen may appear.

                      • It's frustrating, but this is very much a truth in video games. In Iraq and Afghanistan, soldiers were drowned when their Humvees fell into shallow water.

                      • Dissidia Final Fantasy has a lot to do with the Battle Generation system.
                      • What is Battle Gen? Battle Gen generates unique items to synthesize weapons, armor, and accessories depending on the actions the player takes during the battle. The "standard" Battle Gen is five items that are generated in four ways: by inflicting a Brave Break, hitting an HP attack, using an Ex Burst, and damaging the stage/slamming the opponent into a wall, ground, or ceiling. However, Battle Generation is never guaranteed. Up to this point, it's all down to luck, and now it's time for the mission: In the campaign mode, there are enemies that require you to generate Battle Gen within 10 seconds of the start of the match if you want to get the highest score. Without even factoring in the spiteful AI, which seems to know the player's motivations and gives you a chance by running away instead of fighting, you're just out of luck doing all the "right" things. If you're aiming for 100% completion, it's time to restart that board!
                        • Achieved by battle-gening five items in one match. Thanks to the Stiltzkin opponent and his insanely long list of battle-gen items, this achievement went from "near impossible" to "extremely infuriating". Battle-gen is much less frustrating in the sequel. It's much easier to get common opponent-based items, and there are only three per character. You don't need to battle-gen the more common items first to get the rare items.

There's no way to know unless you fully commit to fighting them. Start by praying.

                          • Mortal Kombat II: Luck isn't strictly necessary to win fights against Shao Kahn and Kintaro, but it certainly helps. Both have incredibly powerful and versatile movesets that can deal massive damage from all over the arena. They also have a tendency to stand still and mope around during fights. If you're lucky, they'll hang around like idiots the whole fight and slowly whittle away at your opponent's health bar with their area attacks. If you're unlucky, they'll charge right in and unleash their most powerful moves at the speed of light until you die.
                          • Mortal Kombat 9: There's a mode called "Test Your Luck" where a slot machine determines what rules are added to the match. These extra rules range from trivial (rainbow blood, zombie combat) to game-changing (no arms, poisoned health, disabled supermeter). These missions appear periodically in the Challenge Tower, where the opponents are also determined.
                          Generally, items make some tasks like this happen. If a bomb goes off before your attack, it can take minutes to fight a 100-man battle. For this reason, competitive players and tournaments often don't use items.

                            • There is a minor one that makes one side quest easier. The adventure mode has one level of Zelda's legend, and you need to find a triforce to clear it. There are five places where Triforce is likely to spawn, and four places that did not spawn have a fight against Dark Link. Two of them are in a place where players can be confirmed without triggering the possibility of battle (the triforce is not floating on it, the master sword on the pedestal shows it), and the remaining 3 The part is located at one of the first two (so if the triforce is one of them, you must pass at least one dark link to go there). The battle is not always difficult, but the triforce is one of the first two, and if the player avoids a very slow fish in the area, you can get a Swiss bonus, which is the most difficult other than that. Known as one of the stage clear bonuses (you have to get all of them to get a 100 % complete trophy). Some players resume adventure mode many times for this bonus.~To get all trophies, you need to use a trophy stand for all kinds of enemies in adventure mode, including bosses. Of course, this stand is rare, and it will not always work because it will not be caught unless you weaken the enemy (like Pokemon). If you increase the difficulty level or use a specific sticker, the probability of getting a stand will increase, but you will still boss and defeat it, and you have to start over again to get the next chance. It is irritating to be irritating, and the stupid bastard will hit your own attack on the convenient crackers and blast boxes, and as a result, you may die without doing anything. Playing with friends is very useful. One person keeps the trophy table and does not distract, and the other cuts the boss's physical strength.
                            • In Brawl, the trophy lottery found in "Melee" has been abolished, and a good poisoning shooting game is used to get trophy and stickers. However, it is random whether a new trophy will come out. Miu Trophy is a particularly terrible case. You have to fight multiple characters at once, and the combination is random, from simple to fatal.
                            • And then there are the stickers. At least with trophies, you can aim for a specific trophy when using a stand or in shooting mode, but with stickers, there is no way of knowing which sticker you will get each time you get them, except for a few you get for completing challenges. So the only way to get all the stickers is to do a ton of sticker scraping, and towards the end, no new ones come out no matter how many hours you play.

One cottage abducts McCoy and ends the segment without any further resistance. One cottage has a few enemies to shoot and a hostage that you should not shoot. Which cottage McCoy is in is randomized each time you play, and the only hint is that McCoy is in the cottage with white smoke coming out of it.

It plays just like a slot machine, and the only way to add a minifigure to your collection is to hope you win somehow. If you don't, you have to keep spinning.
                              • StreetPass A minigame where you search for Miis in the Mii Plaza. Miis you find or hire with Play Coins have different spells depending on the color of the shirt they're wearing. The 12th room of the tower is pitch black, and the only way to proceed is for a hero wearing a white shirt to use a spell to light up the room. That means you have to wait until you meet someone with a white Mii or until they give you one when you hire them. Any other heroes in front of a white Mii will disappear. Thankfully, you only have to light up the room once.
                              • This is somewhat averted in Find Mii II, as you can now rehire people you've tagged in Street Pass. You still need to have a Mii of the required color to rehire them, but once you have at least one it's pretty easy (especially in the new obstacle rooms, where you sometimes need two Miis instead of one).
                              • There are also Lugia's egg vouchers and lake trio vouchers. It is difficult to get Lugia's egg voucher if you get a voucher if you get four Pokemon and match the result (if you are all 5 if you are all 5) Tickets are difficult anyway. You need to waste 100 gold game chips in legend mode, hope that three will come out, or return to a dialogue with Pokemon and Pokemon eggs.
                              • In particular, micromoves sometimes overflow with enemies, and slow down and death are inevitable. Also, a small round bulle t-like enemy spawns randomly on the screen randomly, sometimes appears behind him, and hits inevitably. Considering the conflict judgment of action 52, it is even worse. The probability of clearing the first level is about 1/50, and the rest depends on your arms.

When someone lands on this space, the eponymous Game Guy (a timid guy with a gold mask) appears and forces the player to bet all of their coins to play one of the special minigames, which are entirely down to chance. If the game is won, the player receives double the coins spent (or more, depending on the multiplier). Players with hundreds of coins can be on top or on the bottom when they land on this space.
                                  • The mini-game Merry-Go Chomp works in a similar way to gambling roulette. Four players are in a circus and approach a rotating circular platform divided into five colored segments, meaning four areas are filled and the fifth is empty. The platform starts to spin, and when it stops, a Chain Chomp grabs the player standing in front of it and disqualifies them from the mini-game. Note: If the segment in front of the Chomp is empty, the platform spins again and they try again. The remaining players line up again and choose the next location on the platform (this time divided into one less area than before), and when they get to their position, the platform spins again, and the cycle continues until only one player is left. There is no way to predict the moment the circle stops spinning, so luck is the only determining factor.

Each player chooses one card, and the number shown on it determines how many points their character will get. Since there is no way to know the value of the card, any card chosen will be a blind. In the end, each player gets up to three cards, one is not chosen, and the person with the highest total score wins. The element of luck in this mini-game is very concerning because, since this is a battle mini-game, if you are too unlucky, you may choose the card with the lowest value, which will put you at the bottom and ultimately lose all the money you bet.
                                          • The Bowser mini-game "Slot-O-Whirl!" is played by a solo player on a giant 3-slot machine that displays three colors of Bowser's face (red, green, and blue) and gold keys as items. The player must line up three keys to acquire the object and finally open the exit door, but this is easier said than done: each time the player successfully slots a number on a key, the next key spins faster, so it's less a matter of good reflexes and more of a lucky pinpoint to stop the slot at the exact moment. The time limit is 30 seconds, further complicating matters.
                                          • At the end of the story mode, you'll be faced with a game where you have an AI partner who hates you, and two AIs who are smarter than your partners. The boss minigame (the one with the highest value of mini stars) is a dice-rolling game. Shy Guy and Magicopa get incredibly lucky and win both of these games, while your "partner" puts you in fourth place and ruins your chances of winning by putting himself in third place.
                                          • In Pinball Fall, the player chooses between five different balls at the top of a large hill, then all the balls roll down the hill, and the first one to reach the bottom is the winner. Along the way, there are various obstacles that slow the ball down, such as bumpers, holes, and other racers. The player can view the course before the game starts and can predict which ball will slide down the fastest, but has no control over the ball on its way down, apart from the ability to release it by shaking the Wii Remote when it gets stuck in a hole.

The first player to reach 10 points is the winner, but the player does not know what they are choosing until they perform it.

                                          • In Manor of Escape, players must find the correct door to reach the bottom of the mansion and escape. Players can see which door their rivals have chosen and complete the elimination process more easily, but they have no way of knowing which door leads to where until someone tries to go through it.
                                          • In Pier Pressure, players choose from a series of fishing rods placed on the pier. The goal is to choose a rod that will catch a Cheep-Cheep, but if they choose a rod that will catch a Sea Urchin, they will lose.
                                          • In Whomp Stomp, players are placed on a rotating platform, with one player positioned directly in front of the Whomp. Each round, players add either one or zero to the counter in the center, and rotate one by one until the counter reaches zero. Any player who is unlucky enough to land in front of the Thwomp when the counter reaches zero is crushed and loses one point, but other players are free to attack the Thwomp with a ground pound to earn points. Whether a player will increase their counter is not revealed until all players have made their choice, so which player should increase it is pure gambling.
                                          • Bomb Bomb King is a game in which players choose one of four bomb bombs and throw it at the Bomb Bomb King to earn points. There are three sizes of Bob-ombs, with the larger ones earning three points and the smaller ones earning only one point. However, if multiple players choose the same Bob-omb, the characters will collide with each other and no one will be able to throw it. There is no way to know which Bob-omb the other players have chosen, so all you can do is hope for the best.
                                          • Koppa Jr.'s breakdown is a lucky boss battle. Shake the dice block to light the dot on the gauge at the top of the screen, and if you have 3 eyes, you can attack Bowser Jr. to earn points. Unlike WHOMP and King Bob-OMB mini-games, players cannot affect the results at all.
                                          • In Bowser's block battle, the player's score is determined by which characters landed on the eyes of the dice thrown by Bowser. However, players can manipulate the results. Because it is given for 10 seconds, you can pick up your favorite dice block and throw it on another side.
                                          • In this min i-game, in this min i-game, the player will choose a shiagai with an apple dish, so he will choose from five different houses. At the best, you can get a shiagai with five apples. In the worst case, you may get a chain chomp that you can't get. I don't know where the best shigai is until I find it.
                                          • The "Card Trick of Camech" is "Tod Scramble" mode, and when players participate with allies, this can be like this. Cards with the upper and lower arrows are displayed one after another, this is a memory game in which a card with a lower arrow is selected, pulling back a pachinko ball, firing a ball towards the camec, gaining a score. However, human players cannot control which cards they operate by the computer, so choose a card with an arrow to damage the player, or, in the worst case, select a camec card to attack the player. You may be scored.

                                          • There are mini events that cannot be won unless a specific character. Of particular interest is the mini event where Eggman plays a song that sleeps the character on the next turn. Since only the E-102 gamma is a robot, it does not receive this effect, locks on an egg man, fires, and even rises.

                                          • Impossible Mission 2 had an infamous ending scene: in the last room of the game, there are three identical computers. Using one of them you can win the game. The other two immediately end the whole game, regardless of the remaining time or lives. Which computer is the correct one is randomized for each game, and there is no hint in the game or in the manual to tell you which one is the correct one. You can't restore it, so you have to start over. This was probably done to hide the fact that the endings are terrible, as are many of the Commodore 64 games.
                                          • Zombie Tsunami has this mechanic, but thankfully, because a good chunk of the missions are at least partially down to luck (collecting 30 zombies, depending on the placement of hazards and power-ups, or making a certain background appear, which are completely random).
                                          The freeware game Dungeon (download link) for Nintendo hardware already takes this to its logical extreme. Depending on your computer's name, username, RAM, hard drive (and maybe even your operating system), the game chooses which bugs to give you. These can range from simply changing the level name to making it completely unwinnable with faster enemies and spikes that are just one pixel taller. Here's the "no bug" version.

                                          • Salad Kingdom's Princess Tomato also has boss fights played out as rock-paper-scissors, but it takes it a step further. When you win a round, your opponent's head starts to rotate, and to count that round, you have to guess which way they're facing when you press the D-pad. You have to do the same thing if you win a round, but it's still the same.
                                            • A character tells you that another character in the game "hates scissors," meaning that in the first part he always chooses paper. However, you still have to guess which way he'll look in the second part, which is still random.

But the only way is to hide in a lake west of the base, wait for Freedom Guard to leave the base and leave, and return to the wreckage. However, when the Freedom Guard forces glimpse the transport aircraft and other units to the lake, the army does not leave the area. Considering that McGafin is dull and is armored by Tinhoil, it is almost impossible to pass through. And it's hard to encounter a spider bike that attacks.

If you attack the Freedom Guard too much, you will punch and destroy the only orbital defense matrix, which is the only thing that prevents the impellium kirthat (no n-standard game over).

For example, the Dwarven Elder will ask you to kill a random creature that is either annoyingly rare or too powerful to handle until very late in the game. The Ultra Ending and Red Rooster's Trident path are particularly infuriating: Gaab'Baay wants a boar skull, which requires a rare wilderness encounter and then a random corpse drop. To save Kerabuster you need a Lifesaving Amulet, which is very rare and better obtained with a wish, and wishes are so rare that there may be no realistic way to get one by this early in the game, especially if you get unlucky with the Darkforge pool. This last one can make you practically invincible, but in principle it never is, as you can always get an extremely rare drop. There are quests and objectives that you can't complete if you're unlucky, especially in the beginning. There are fail conditions, or if you're unlucky in a certain way, you're almost guaranteed to die. (There's no save-scumming in the game's original mode: Find a goblin camp in a random wilderness encounter before you reach level 3. (By the way, moving around the wilderness eats up game time very quickly, which affects the last item on this list.) Go to a cave and find a staircase leading down and a waterproof blanket before you get too high a level or die. Kill the raider lord Cranach in a random wilderness encounter before you reach level 6. Rescue a cute dog in Puppy Cave before 4 days are up.
                                                              • You can't complete the raider quest if you don't encounter them before you reach level 6. You may starve or unwillingly level up in other encounters before that happens. Also, when you do encounter the raiders, you may be too weak to survive regardless of your tactics.
                                                              • Exaggerated expression: Puppy quests themselves are a series of challenges that depend on luck. Most characters will not be able to clear the puppy's corpse except to collect the corpse. At the second level, you have to overcome the giant ants. You may be able to walk to the next level without hitting an ant nest (or without finding a huge rock that blocks the nest), or an ant nest may be between you and your destination. A lo w-level character may not be able to kill a giant ants at all, or you may have to spend a long time enough to die. In the past, there was an underground river in the cave, and it was really lucky to pass by without drowning or rusting items, but thankfully it was removed. And at the cave level near the bottom layer, monsters are constantly attacking and it's quite tough. Orgamage at this point will kill most player characters, at least rarely. (In other words, an auger is unusual, and it is not killed.) Again, you may be able to get off the next cave and get down right, and before finding the stairs to the other edge. You may search for the whole. If you go to the next level before the four days of the day, the puppy will be generated alive. At this level, even if the river is not generated randomly, there seems to be at least 50%of the probability of being killed before finding. (It seems that it is possible to enter this level.

You have to find a sector-specific event, then find a sector-specific event, then find a sector, then jump to a hidden sector to unlock the ship, because this unlock is considered a huge game breaker.

His AI randomly uses abilities - spawning Crypts that spawn 1HP zombies constantly, summoning Zerg Rush, the elite minion of the game with at least 3 giant minions, healing all the minions on the screen, or taking a step forward (if you get too close by 4-5 steps, he will insta-kill you with a huge punch). If he takes a few steps forward in a row or spawns two waves in a row with 5+ giant minions, it will be nearly impossible to win. If you're lucky, he will waste a turn doing a healing move when there aren't many minions around.

                                                              • Heavy Weapons have multiple "waves" per level. Each wave features a set of enemies and lasts about half the time. Each "wave" is chosen randomly, so if you're unlucky you'll be fighting tough enemies over and over again.

The problem is that there are some large ships that are difficult, sometimes impossible, to navigate between enemy fire and natural terrain. There are also some battles in the game that take place entirely inside very narrow corridors, roughly half the height of the large ships.
