7 Weirdly Rare Items You Worked Surprisingly Hard For

video games like to make you jump through more hoops than a dachshund or a dog show in order to get your grubby mitts on some ridiculously cool and unique items sometimes however we jump through loads of hoops to get something mundane which you ought to be able to find lying around everywhere like an empty bottle my recycling bin is full of these here then are the weirdly rare items we work surprisingly hard for we're spoilers for the following [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music] the economics of Hyrule are a real puzzle like how is a castle of this size maintained with the taxes of only about seven local businesses and one of those is the happy mask shop and seriously who is shopping in here one thing we know for sure though is that a major part of Harold's business ecosystem is milk produced in volumes large enough to sustain entire ranches like this one in ocarina of time which makes it all the more bizarre that one of the hardest items to obtain in any Zelda game including this one is an empty bottle with Lon Lon ranch shipping out enough crates of milk every day to keep an entire kingdom hydrated and strong of bone you'd think empty bottles would be littering the streets yet incredibly there are only four of these glass receptacles to be found in the entire world and none of these bottles are easily obtained either with most serving as rewards in huge air quotes for punishing side quests like searching an entire village for cuckoos and bringing them back to their owner who can't do it herself because she has allergies oh thanks I guess and not to tell you how to live your life madam but if you're allergic can I suggest getting out of the cuckoo business I'd suggest getting into the bottle trade I think you'd make a killing but it's most ridiculous the quest for empty bottles cease link trawling the vastness of Hyrule Field looking for ten deadly ghosts to fight why because red Hyrule of its murder ghost problem and your reward for performing this invaluable and terrifying service is you guessed it [Music] trouble is empty bottles are extremely desirable and indeed necessary to complete the game thanks to their ability to store life preserving fairies health items bugs fish and all sorts so you'll go to any lengths necessary to get one all the while wondering why one of the rarest items in this magical Fantasyland is an object so commonplace in real life I can get you one right now by just emptying this tequila bottle okay fine I'll finish the video first but then it's party time and besides link you're literally saving the world can't you just get Princess Zelda to give you some spare bottles and while she's at it get her to shut down the happy mask shop I'm convinced this place is a pyramid scheme come in welcome to Gore heart the last settlement before the Fae lands how can I fill your pack today when you're heading out on an adventure you want to be able to carry as much as possible like oh say 500 potions you don't know I won't need them in highly underrated action RPG Kingdoms of Amalur reckoning they helpfully let you upgrade your carry capacity with backpacks something that in real life you've got at least twelve off in the back of a cupboard somewhere but unlike New York City which is apparently filled with Peter Parker's infinite supply of backpacks the falen seem to be extremely short on them in fact there are only six backpacks in the entire realm meaning that there are fewer of these than wonders of the ancient world in order to get your hands on a backpack that will add a mere ten slots to your inventory you must find one of the very few merchants that sell them and each of these merchants will only sell you one backpack because apparently these things are rarer than a stake that's never seen a frying pan I'm pleased to be of service come on dude you're wearing one as if tracking down these scarce satchels wasn't painful enough they're also some of the priciest things in the game the first one you find in Gore hot village after literally stumbling out of a pile of corpses in nothing but rags costs over 7,000 gold sorry mate I'm a little short goodbye and so begins your epic adventure to eventually afford something that schoolchildren carry their books in everyday and this one doesn't even have Dora the Explorer on it [Music] I've never had to acquire rope but I assume not everyone who has acquired rope had to get it the way it's obtained in Leisure Suit Larry or at least I really hope not [Music] [Applause] because the steps involved to get this most mundane of objects are ludicrous in the extreme but without rope you've got no chance of completing this skeety 1987 text adventure which begins with Larry chasing a blow-up sex doll across the screen and hey that more or less sets the tone Larry needs a bottle of pills resting on a windowsill but to get them by law of text adventure logic he needs to dangle from a fire escape using rope unfortunately in leisure suit larry rope is so rare and precious we presume it's made of hits lane like the Rope gifted Samwise by collateral the lady of light in the Fellowship of the Ring I emailed the developers for confirmation and they're silent speaks volumes rope is acquired from fawn a woman you meet in a casino but you can't just ask for nicely instead you must shower her with a series of gifts collected from other locations these gifts are candy a rose and a diamond ring which doesn't make fun give you any rope but does make her open to the idea of dancing with you [Music] Larry I dare say if you can throw a person that higher you've probably got the upper arm strength to reach that windowsill I'm just saying at this point you get the rope just kidding at this point you get married [Music] Larry what the hell man all you need is rope did you seriously misunderstand the phrase tie the knot now lawfully wedded to four and you're invited by your new wife up to her hotel suite too shall we say celebrate your new love but not until you turn on the radio to set the mood and take a cab across town to the liquor store because for needs wine maybe now would be an opportunity to drive to a hardware store Larry they sell rope I'm pretty sure no instead it's a cab back across town to the suite where your wife fawn is ready to take your relationship to the next level or so it seems until she well ties you to the bed [Music] your marriage may be over but at least you got the rope once you cut yourself free using a pocketknife I forget why we needed it in the first place now something to do with Galadriel [Music] you wouldn't think you'd need lockpicks in resident evil games on account of how every locked door you encounter is held shut by some kind of elaborate chess puzzle or ornate crest nonsense [Music] but resident evil does still include enough lock-picking for Jill to have earned this nickname here is a lockpick it might be handy if you the master of unlocking take it with you where is Jill is just handed a lockpick in the first Resident Evil game she has a harder time getting her hands on one in Resident Evil 3 where she needs it to open simple locks ie ones that don't require a key or putting rare jewels into things oh and if the words simple lock gave you the impression that this process was going to be easy well if I got some disappointing news for you instead of finding this tool just lying around Jill Valentine has to get herself into the stars office of the Raccoon City Police Department in order to retrieve her trusty lockpick from her desk this requires fighting her way through zombie infested corridors praying the whole time that the biome you nemesis doesn't show up and have her guts for garters not only that but she needs the special emblem key to get into the stars office which is in storage behind a number code secured locker because apparently a bunch of zombies trying to kill you isn't enough of a hassle but still I'm sure this lockpick is worth the hassle given the calibre of gear that members of stars are usually issued and oh it's just a safety pin and a bit of wire sure where else could she find such specialized equipment yes jill has to slock her way back to her desk to fetch two bits of metal that if you looked hard enough you probably find you have five of in your pocket right now seriously jill is the master of unlocking if she's that good couldn't she just make another lockpick we hear hair pins are pretty good fortunately for Jill the Resident Evil three remake gives her lock-picker much deserved upgrade by well making it in actual set of professional lock-picking tools with a torsion wrench and everything not that it's gonna help us much with this guy who also received an upgrade or two thanks game [Music] pokemon trainers are no strangers to the concept of rarity just ask all the little pups in Pokemon go who got mulched into candy for having the temerity to be neither air nor interesting but in the world of Pokemon gold and silver for the Game Boy Color it's not just Pokemon that are rare in fact there's one item that's seemingly rarer than a shiny mu with a seasonal hat that item is one you need to get past a weird tree that is stopping you from traveling along Route 37 and thereby standing between you and your Pokemon destiny by this point in the game players will already be accustomed to using the exciting move cut to side through trees blocking their path but Cutts doesn't cut it here you're given a cryptic hint by a nearby NPC about sprinkling water so perhaps the surf move help me out here game turns out what you need is a super special item and spoiler alert the item you need is a water bottle by which we mean a bottle that squirts water of which there is seemingly only one to be found in the entire Johto region and you can't acquire it without first going through a whole series of Pokemon battles culminating in a fight with Gym Leader Whitney it's a tough battle but not as tough as Whitney crying when you win come on Whitney what's this really about is it about you being an expert in normal type Pokemon the lamest flavor of Pokemon regardless defeat Whitney and the local florist is impressed enough to deem you capable of wielding a water bottle which is damning with faint praise if ever we heard it which means now you can squirt the tree which surprised turns out to be the pokemon sudowoodo in disguise and it's pet peeve is moisture I guess [Music] even weirder is that all the mythical squirt bottle does in the end is spray water on the sudowoodo which you'd think could be accomplished any number of easier ways spitting on it waiting for it to rain bringing a well hydrated arcanine on a long walk and letting nature take its course regardless by the time you're through it's hard not to feel that this was a lot of effort for an item you probably never needed in the first place knows however this criticism does not apply to later versions of the game and the anime where the squirt bottle is shaped like a little squirtle and we absolutely do need that and would do anything to acquire it up to an including murder minecraft is a game that lets you make anything your mind can dream up as long as it's made out of blocks one cool thing you can craft in Minecraft is cake and obviously we want cake because cake is great Minecrafts version of our favorite tea time treat is a good food source in the game giving you multiple portions to chomp through Plus making it Awards you with a nifty achievement called the lie now we see what you did there minecraft portal portal reference in the real world getting hold of a piece of cake is well a piece of cake as you can easily buy it or rustle one up in your kitchen however there are so many steps of the Minecraft counterpart it would make a pedometer blush see to make anything in Minecraft you need to make all the tools and components for it but none of them takes the biscuit quite like making a cake fun fact biscuits are different to cake because when biscuits go stale they go soft and when cake go stale it goes hard okay okay I'll get on with it right first off you need wheat which you get by punching grass to get seeds punching some trees to get wood making a crafting table so you can craft a wooden hoe using that hoe to tell soil next to some water planting the seeds and then letting them grow for a few in-game days until you can harvest them then there's sugar which involves you hunting around the world for sugarcane which involves fewer steps than wheat but may involve a hike across half the map depending on where you spawned you also need an egg which means you need a chicken if you're lucky you might find a chicken that is laid an egg right next to them in the wild if you're not lucky however you need to punch more grass to get more seeds no the first you can you find back to a pen and wait patiently for them to lay some more eggs and finally there's the milk which is the real kicker first off you have to find one or more cows and ideally trap them we mean bring them back to your lovely farm but this is the easy part see the recipe calls for three buckets of milk and to get those you first have to punch a tree to get wood make a wooden pickaxe on your crafting table mind some stone with that wooden pickaxe make a stone pickaxe hunt down and mine coal and nine blocks of iron ore with that stone pickaxe mined some more stone make a furnace with that stone smelt your iron ore with the coal then use the iron ingots to make three buckets then and only then you can go milk your cow put it all together and finally you have your delicious cake Wow that was definitely worth all the effort - red velvet there's no funfetti animal crossing New Horizons is a game about moving to an island and imprisoning all the local wildlife in a museum run by an owl honestly game narratives are getting so predictable these days seriously though it's a genuine delight to gather new specimens for the island museum and see this sprawling building gradually fill up with creatures so much so you'll barely have time to think about whether this vicious tank is big enough probably not but I guess we'll never know for sure after all it's not one of the species of animal in the game that's evolved to talk just as well it'd probably kill my town rating by complaining there are enough flowers or something now for the most part New Horizons has a good grasp of which creatures are more exciting and therefore hard to catch than others it's a big deal for instance when you reel in this monster yes and not a big deal when you catch your millionth sea bass and you've seen the comedy flavor texts so often it becomes a cruel joke classic how do they keep the material so fresh but there is one creature in the game that's much rarer than you'd expect bearing in mind how alarmingly common it is in real life and that's a fly it's reckoned that for every human on the planet there are 17 million flies a statistic that rings true for anyone who's ever spent time on earth and will agree that there are absolutely bloody loads of flies on it and yet this most horribly ordinary of bugs is weirdly hard to bag in New Horizons to get a fly in your museum you'll first need to go fishing why because when you fish there is a small chance that you'll accidentally fish up some trash like an old can boot or tyre odds are that if this has happened to you you'll have sold that garbage or used it as a crafting material to make something nice but your wish you didn't as leaving trash lying around outside is the best way to attract flies you can also wait a whole I or l week for a turnip to go rotten if you're in no rush though expects every other Island resident to silently judge you as a terrible investor in the in-game turnip stock exchange with all these steps followed a fly may spawn but there are still no guarantees and you might have to wait many days before you see one and dare we say that lurking anxiously around a pile of garbage clutching a net was not what you expected from life on a tropical island the fly's relative scarcity is made all the weirder by how frequently you'll see much more exotic creatures flitting around like it's nothing honestly in real life I've never seen or heard of a Roger Brooks bird wing but three flies have bothered me just in the time it took to say this right all right I'll do my laundry geez flies so judgmental tell me how to live still when you do eventually nab your fly to be donated you can take pride in paying a visit to see it on show gather round Islanders and witness the majesty of nature in all its fury okay there's an actual t-rex skeleton in the next room why am i staring at flies again so there are some of the weirdly rare items you work surprisingly hard for considering that in real life and in many other games are actually quite easy scaled why do we have to go through all that what can you think of any other examples let us know in the comments below if you enjoyed this video maybe check out some of our other
