10 Deceptive Video Game Achievements That Sound Easy To Get (But Actually Aren't)

"Humpty Dumpty" is one of those achievements from the Witcher 3 that sounds like something you'd complete naturally by just playing the game. It requires you to push 10 people off a cliff using the Aard sign, which, considering how quickly you learn the power and how much an average gamer loves pushing NPCs off heights, feels like a match made in heaven.

And yet, when compared with other Witcher 3 achievements in global rankings, "Humpty Dumpty" is fairly rare because there is one big issue with it.

You see, the achievement asks for human victims specifically, and it just so happens that there are only a few locations where human enemies spawn near cliffs.

Moreover, most of these locations don't have enough men to cover the ten people mark, meaning in order to get the achievement you either have to scour the land and look for more human-populated cliffs or find the one that will spawn them for you endlessly.

Both options are quite time-consuming, so even though dropping bandits off cliffs is fun, don't except to have a lot of it obtaining this reward.
