10 Infuriating Video Game Puzzles Fans Hated
3. Vagrant Story - Snowfly Forest
You know what's more annoying than accidentally walking into tar? Walking through to the next room/area of a game and finding yourself back at the start of that section.
That's what Vagrant Story does, and Vagrant Story does not care if it annoys you.
Much like the Lost Woods in Ocarina of Time, the Snowfly Forest does that bastard annoying thing of popping you back to start if you happen to walk through the wrong exit. However, at least the Lost Woods didn't plonk a surprise boss fight in the first few exits.
Imagine it: you've successfully navigated a stable, tentative passage quite early on and then bam, there's a dragon to fight. But don't get complacent, there's a deadly duo to fight at the end of this area too. Yay...
To its credit, the Snowfly Forest is both beautiful to explore and does yield some nifty upgrade parts, as well as enemies to practice on. On the whole, though, it's a testament to patience, perseverance and dogged determination to get through it with your sanity intact.
