How about reaching rank 11 of awesomeness in Legends?
It's not really difficult, but it does take an extremely long time of grinding, so i guess that's a good point.

That is challenging but also very unfun too imo.

The challenges would be best done in moderation and probably just gold cups.

Same, I rarely get gold Cups though the challenges themselves are quite fun so there's that I guess.

I get gold, but a platinum is almost impossible these days from cheaters. Maybe a gold is harder to get too due to the cheaters.

I'd say gold is slightly harder than it used to be. Or maybe I'm just rusty / less patient. :P

It's been a while and I want to wait until I complete all levels fully before starting them. I want to confirm that I got the points needed from challenges part right on RayWiki. :P

There was a time when all that sort of thing would be neatly tabulated in a game manual. What's the world coming to. :tssk:

Nowadays you get a little leaflet that tells you nothing and you have to just figure it out.

It's harder to evaluate this, since this one depends mostly on your human opponents and not on the game. I understand that's it used to be way easier at first compared to now, when most remaining players in the challenges are seasoned veterans.

If your goal is just to get the happy Murphy stamps, it's not so hard (typically enough just to find all the secret rooms and do the obvious combos / combat fatigue bonuses); if you want to compete for the top 100 scores, then, yeah, it's tough (and a lot of repetitive practice).

I think Rayman Origins is the hardest game I've played, especially when you attempt to reach the Tricky Treasure.

I think for me the hardest part about Rayman Origins would also be the Tricky Treasure levels. Well some of the more harder ones anyway.

That’s true, I still haven’t got much of anything higher than a silver tbh. :oops2:

I’d guess it would make more sense to say it takes a long time to reach rank 11 rather than say it’s difficult bc of all the veterans and cheaters who ultimately do better than me and get better cups. Though truthfully I don’t find the challenges themselves to be that hard.

Really? I didn't remember it being so difficult. Possibly because I was a Rayman 1 (and Rayman Advance) veteran by the time I got to R3 GBA.

The first Rayman gave me a hard time but I was a kid so this can't really be compared with the later games.

The first game is definitely the hardest, the timing can be critical. The UbiArt games have some levels where it might take a few deaths to figure out the pattern, but there's no life limit unlike the first game.

I remember having a cheat book as a kid that had the 99 lives cheat in it.
