The bane of every achievement hunter.

Getting an achievement for accomplishing something impressive in a game is a genuinely great feeling. However, sometimes the challenge you need to overcome for a sweet dose of dopamine borders on impossible... yet the developers expect you to complete it anyway!

From beating an un-killable boss to becoming the first ever player to reach the game’s level cap, the achievements require you to do something that no ordinary player, regardless of their skill and knowledge of the game, is capable of doing without considerable luck or cheating.

For this reason, most of these achievements will likely haunt your list of accomplishments, forever reminding you that you will never be able to get a 100% completion of your favorite game, no matter how hard you try.

On the other hand, if you somehow manage to get one of them, you can display it on your page like a badge of honor. And some of these achievements actually come with a method for doing the impossible.

If you’re willing to face the greatest challenge or you’re just curious to find out which title might soil your perfect score, you might want to keep the following games in mind.

10. Yes, I am the real garry! - Garry's Mod

If you've ever tried organizing a hangout or social event, you probably know how hard it is to get people to come to one place. Now imagine doing so with a complete stranger, with an endless list of random servers inside a two-decade-old game, and you get Garry's Mod's infamous "Yes, I am the real Garry!" achievement."

"Yes, I am the real Garry!" is an achievement awarded to those lucky players who have managed to play on the same server as the creator of the game, Garry Newman.

Even when the game had just launched, Garry was making frequent appearances, making the achievement of meeting the real Garry a rare accomplishment. Nowadays, when his appearances become more and more sporadic, it pretty much borders on impossible.

He's basically become a mythical unicorn that appears once in a blue moon to bless the lucky few and then disappears for another indeterminate amount of time. And like hunting a unicorn, Big Foot, or any other fantastical creature, the only thing you're likely to find searching after it is a crushing and resounding sense of disappointment.
