10 Secret Video Game Rewards You Had No Idea Existed

Every now and then, you come across a video game mission that doesn't seem to have any good outcomes. The choices the game provides are all unsatisfying, and it feels as though there's a much better solution missing.

Well, in some cases, that solution just needs to be discovered!

Although games normally present you with a set of options, it doesn't mean that these are the only outcomes to a given quest. Sometimes, you can unlock hidden outcomes too that are not only better but also come with a reward!

From smart solutions unlocked with even smarter deduction skills to amazing rewards you can only get if you do the right thing at the right moment, these outcomes are far better than any of the "official" choices on offer. It takes a lot of effort and luck to find them, but the effort is definitely worth it, as they are objectively the best outcome you can get.

If you're looking for hidden ways to get the most out of your quests, or you're just curious to see what choices you might have missed, you should definitely check out the following secrets!

Every veteran player of Super Mario RPG knows that the best item in the game is the Lazy Shell. At the same time, every beginner player doesn't even know it exists because it's tied to an unmarked quest that drags the player all over the world, doing Nintendo knows what.

To acquire the Lazy Shell, the player needs to grow a beanstalk that lets them reach the cloud where it is hidden. As you may expect, growing the beanstalk requires some gardening materials, more specifically seeds and fertilizer.

You'd think that both of these items would be easy to acquire, but the only way to get a bag of fertilizer is to complete an unmarked quest with a thief in Nimbus Town by defeating Valentina and then crossing an invisible bridge to her lair (something most players wouldn't think of).

After both items are acquired, you still have to bring them to a gardener in Rose Town to grow the beanstalk, but once you finish all of the steps, you'll unlock a way to the clouds and get your hands on the Lazy Shell that not only deals huge amounts of damage but also works as one of the strongest armors in the game!
