Mega Man 10 Achievements Ask The Impossible

by Tim Turi on Jan 22, 2010 at 11:45 AM



Mention that you’ve completed Mega Man 9 to any gamer worth their salt and you’re likely to receive a solid nod of approval. Tell them you beat the game in under an hour and they’re likely to shake your hand. Share with them you beat the whole game without taking one hit, and they will no doubt be groveling at your feet. Mega Man 10’s recently uncovered Achievements list tasks the truly hardcore with these very harrowing tasks.

Brace yourself, here’s the entire list from Xbox360Achievements:

Whomp Wily – Clear the game once. [5]
Blue Bomber – Clear the game in under an hour. [10]
Superhero – Clear the game on hard. [10]
Hard Rock – Make it to a boss room without getting damaged. [20]
Headbanging – Defeat the 8 bosses without your helmet on. [20]
Destroyer – Defeat 1000 enemies. [20]
World Warrior – Defeat one of every type of enemy. [5]
Trusty Sidearm – Defeat the 8 bosses with just your default weapon. [20]
No Coffee Break – Clear the game without using any energy, mystery, or weapon tanks. [10]
Tenacious – Clear the game without continuing. [20]
Invincible – Clear the game without dying. [30]
Mr. Perfect – Clear the game without getting damaged. [30]

Woah, sorry I didn’t post a spoiler alert about Wily being the last boss. That was totally out of left field. I thought we’d be seeing the return of Dr. Cossack or Mr. X for sure.

I remember being overwhelmed by the requests that Mega Man 9 made for gathering achievements. Mega Man 10’s challenging tasks has elicited an interesting mix of emotions from me: fear followed by hardened resolve.

Anybody crazy enough to go for them all? How many times a week do you think you’d need to practice based on what we’ve seen of the levels and bosses so far?
