I think it is the Excalibur II in FFIX. You need to finish the game in 12 hours, which is very hard, and then find the correct spot to receive it. I mean, without a walkthrough, who would ever know this?

Not an item, more just a character: In Baroque, (since the levels are all random generated, I can't really say which level) I was in this mechanical-like dungeon this time, and I found this woman at the end of this dead end hallway in a room. If you have that big gun that weird angel gives you, with you, she'll scream "No! Not that gun" and dissapear. And the room is left empty, just by sheer accident, I was walking forward and turning the camera, and went against the wall, but I went through the wall into a new secret room, where that woman was hiding. It didn't mean much, since she ran away again, but I love how this game gives you no clues, and tells you nothing, stuff just happens, or doesn't, and that was one thing that surprised me alot when finding that room by accident.

HAHAHA I remember I got it in a very unusual way. I captured Missingno, took it to the day care, took it out and it was a Mew called 77777777. So awesome, I used it at PKMN Stadium and everything. Got lost after trading it to Yellow sadly.

I believe in Final Fantasy 12, there's an ultimate weapon for one of the characters. It's available in a chest but only if you haven't opened earlier certain kind of chests. Sounds pretty impossible to achieve without a walkthrough? Think it's called Zodiac Spear?

Yup. Then there are other ways to get more Zodiac spears but they aren't worth the trouble.

I always considered the Fountain of Forgetfulness in Morrowind the hardest thing to find. Without the internet, this game is incredibly difficult to finish 100% given the fact there are no map markers, no radar, nothing to help you find your way (just a map and directions), and even then there are a few little quirks and events that have no purpose in the game, one of which is the fountain. The fountain is located in the back of a cavern just outside the Ghostgate guarded by ash vampires, ghouls, and corprus stalkers. If you are low leveld, yoy WILL die. At the back of the cave is a little spout of water coming out of the wall called "The Fountain of Forgetfulness", so caled because it was programmed into the game VERY early on and forgotten about. When the developers finally found the fountain again on accident late in the development, they forgot what it was to be used for, so they just renamed it and left it in the game as a joke for the players to find. There is no mention of it anywhere in the game, so to find it is just pure luck. Even the cave was difficult to get to as you pretty much had to fall off of a mountain to reach it.

Zelda ALTTP has aton of hidden stuff. There was a switch in aroom where you had to hit a statue in the eye with an arrow. Back then there was no web for tips. I sat in that room for 10 hours trying to figure it out. I knew there was a hidden room because it showedon themap. Out offurstation I just started shooting arrows.

Castlevania 2Simons Quest on the NES had some hidden stuff. It took me forever to figure out how the get thetornadoto pick meup.

The first thing that comes to mind is the Scarab gun from Halo 2. It took my brother and I a month to get that damn gun, but it was oh so worth it when we did :)

It took me 4 hours, then I killed myself with it. Worth it just to see the pure death that gun is.

In Earthbound, the Sword of Kings and the Gutsy Bat.

They appear as item drops after fights with regular enemies and they are very rare, I think something like a 1 in 187 chance.

Although not the craziest hidden item in a game, the Crissagraem or however you spell it in Castlevania SOTN is pretty hard to obtain without a walkthrough or internet (didn't have the web back in '97 lol) but when I got it as a rare drop from an enemy by sheer luck( from a Shmoo I believe) it kind of ruined the game since it's so damn powerful lol. Kill everything bosses included in mere seconds.

Probably the secret eggs and keys in Banjo-Kazooie. You needed to enter codes by stomping on letters in the beach level, which unlocked secret areas in various levels, in which you could get the items. Thing is, if I recall correctly, the codes weren't published until several years later. Their function is unknown as well, but one of the characters at the end of the game tells you that the items can only be attained by playing Banjo-Tooie (which obviously still had to be made back then), so they were probably intended for a loyalty reward system or some other intergame connection that ended up being cancelled.

There are a couple different ways to get it, I use the Abra teleport trick for the bridge above Cerulean City.

This video illustrates it pretty well. You CAN catch it, you just gotta BELIEVE!

That's exactly what happened. They were planning on implementing something called "Stop-n-Swop" where you collected the eggs and key in Banjo-Kazooie, and then swapped the cartridge out for the Banjo-Tooie one while the N64 was still on. They cancelled it because the N64 didn't hold memory long enough for it to be feasible. It finally got implemented in the XBLA versions of the games, and they end up unlocking stuff like Dashboard wallpapers and items for BK:Nuts and Bolts.

Try "Raiders of the last ark" on Atari 2600. If you can figure that out without a walkthrough, you are a genius :D It's not just one hidden object: the whole game is amazingly obscure. It's probably easier to find the real ark itself.

Obviously it is the item you need to revive Aerith in FF7 so hidden and obscure it has never been found lol

The Golden Gun (GoldenEye N64) back in the day before the cheat codes were released for this game it was dawn near impossible to beat every level on 00 Agent, which is exactly what need to be done in order to receive this item.

This pretty much sums up the reason I love Morrowind.
