#PureLuckGaming: Have You Ever Beaten a Game by Pure Luck?
Have you ever played a video game and somehow managed to complete it by pure luck? 🎮 It’s a rare and exhilarating experience when it happens. Many gamers have stories of finishing a game without much skill or strategy, but just by sheer fortune. Whether it’s stumbling upon a rare item, defeating a difficult boss with a fluke, or accidentally discovering a game-breaking glitch, there’s something special about those unexpected gaming victories.
In this article, we’ll explore some of the most memorable stories of beating a game by pure luck. We’ll also discuss the factors that contribute to these fortunate outcomes and whether they can be replicated. So, what game have you finished by pure luck and can never do it again? Let’s dive in and unravel some fascinating tales!
##The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild – A Stroke of Luck
One of the most common games mentioned when it comes to finishing by pure luck is The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild. The open-world nature of the game allows for unexpected encounters and unconventional paths to victory. Here’s an example of a lucky break from a fellow gamer:
###Accidental Triumph: Facing Ganon
“I accidentally beat Legend of Zelda, BOTW, by just walking in on Ganon and Dark Beast Ganon, and I somehow beat them on the first try. I couldn’t believe my luck! It was as if the game itself had conspired to make me succeed.”
The fascinating thing about games like The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild is that they provide opportunities for players to stumble upon unlikely victories. Whether it’s accessing a secret area, utilizing a little-known game mechanic, or simply having the right equipment at the right time, luck can often play a significant role in overcoming challenges.
##Puzzle Games: An Unexpected Solution
Puzzle games are another genre where luck can come into play. While they often require careful planning, quick thinking, and problem-solving skills, there are occasions where a fortunate turn of events can lead to victory. Here’s an example of a serendipitous win in a puzzle game:
###Unintentional Victory: Finding the Solution
“I was stuck on a particularly difficult level in a puzzle game for days. Frustrated, I resorted to randomly pressing buttons in a fit of desperation. To my surprise, my haphazard actions somehow triggered the correct sequence, and I completed the level without any deliberate strategy. It was a pure stroke of luck!”
##RNG-Based Games: Riding the Wave of Fortune
Games that heavily rely on random number generation (RNG) can often give rise to moments of incredible luck. Whether it’s landing a critical hit at the right time, drawing the perfect card from a deck, or obtaining a rare drop from an enemy, unexpected windfalls can occur. Here’s an example of a fortuitous occurrence in an RNG-based game:
###Fortunate Turn of Events: A Rare Drop
“In a game with a notoriously low drop rate for a coveted item, I was astonished to receive it on my first attempt. I had resigned myself to countless hours of grinding, but luck was on my side that day. It felt like winning the jackpot!”
##The Role of Skill and Strategy
While luck undoubtedly plays a part in these instances of accidental victory, it’s essential to recognize the role of skill and strategy in gaming. Luck may open the door to opportunities, but it’s ultimately up to the player to seize them. By honing our gaming abilities, we can increase the likelihood of favorable outcomes and turn chance into deliberate success.
###Strategies for Harnessing Luck:
– Stay open-minded and adaptable to unexpected game developments.
– Experiment with different approaches and techniques to uncover hidden advantages.
– Pay attention to subtle cues and hints within the game environment.
– Learn from past experiences of lucky breaks and apply them to future challenges.
##Can Luck Be Replicated?
It’s natural to wonder whether a stroke of luck can be replicated in gaming. While it may be impossible to force luck, there are ways to create favorable conditions and increase the chances of fortunate outcomes. By understanding the mechanics of a game, recognizing patterns, and staying attentive to potential opportunities, players can position themselves to capitalize on lucky breaks.
###Maximizing the Odds:
– Thoroughly explore game environments for hidden secrets and advantages.
– Keep an open mind and be willing to deviate from traditional strategies.
– Embrace the unexpected and be proactive in responding to unforeseen events.
– Continuously adapt and refine gameplay tactics based on newfound insights.
##Final Thoughts
In the world of gaming, luck can often be the catalyst for unforgettable moments of triumph. Whether it’s accidental victories, unexpected solutions, or fortuitous outcomes, these instances remind us of the unpredictable nature of gaming and the excitement it brings. While luck may not always be on our side, the spirit of adventure and the thrill of uncertainty are what make gaming experiences truly unique and memorable.

Cuphead, the floor boss glitched.
Armored core 6.
Wouldn’t say luck but sekiro shadows die twice haven’t played in so long I won’t find my rhythm again
I want to hear someone say that they stumbled on to the ending of Myst without playing the whole game or looking it up online.
For anyone who doesn’t know, you can beat Myst legitimately in less than a minute if you know what to do.
Bloodborne.
I absolutely adore that game and when it came through I played it so much. I am absolutely awful at souls games and usually can’t stand the difficulty but I powered through and got to the final boss but I could t break that wall. Came back to it about a year later just randomly and did it first time. No idea how I pulled that off but man, what a game!
Castlevania Lord Of Shadow 1, Dlc chapter 13 boss on paladin difficulty, The heavy rng over throwing that stupid pillar 3 times.
Some month ago I finished A Link to the Past and I defeated Ganon with only an hearth
first playthrough of Far Cry 4….. I did actually wait for “him” to return …. fastes game finish ever
Zelda Totk
Divinity: Original Sin 2, anyone who ever played this game knows how hard the final battle is, after so many tries, by pure luck with only 1 character alive, cornered, and almost used up all of my Action Points, I managed to charm the only enemy character >!Braccus Rex!< that needed to be killed in order to win and turn all the enemies against him, then I go invisible with my last Action Points and watch him getting ganked by everyone else. I couldn’t believe what I just done at that moment, it was like I beat the game just by being lucky.
FF7 Remake, Aerith’s limit break happened to pop at the right time.
I have over 1,000 deaths in Noita and one win, and that was an extremely lucky win.
I beat Sifu under the age of 25 for an achievement and I’m not sure I could do it again
The witness can be completed right at the start, it’s possible someone stumbled on that without knowing about it.
Final Fantasy IX- final boss, 3 of my 4 party members are KO’d and Zidane gets afflicted with berserk (attack power increased, but you automatically use just your basic attack on a random enemy every turn). No way to heal or anything, so I just watch as his health gets lower and lower… only for him to finish the boss *single handedly* around 2 turns before he would’ve died himself, and I’d have had to start over again.
Don’t know if this counts but an indie called Vision Soft Reset. Final boss froze, I think, and I murdered him for it.
Cuphead. Never again.
Super Metroid. lol
Terminator 2 on the gameboy.
All of them, frankly
ninja gaiden: master collection on master ninja difficulty
Super Ghouls n Ghosts. I was pretty good, but the last boss was just pure luck after like 100 attempts. Never touched that game again.
There was a starcraft 2 match in multiplayer that was Zerg v Zerg where I was out teched and out numbered but was able to be annoying with my tier 1 units causing my opponent to stop the base trade race, come back, and quit half way.
His army ended just outside of vision of my last building when he quit. (Win condition for starcraft is surrender or killing all of your opponents buildings)
Ninja Gaiden 2, the amount of tiers on the last boss was to much to ever do again
Oh dude….. PS3 Turok.
That final T-Rex boss was wild at the time and after about 30 attempts I ended up getting the final kill shot with my knife. Incredible.
If there was any moment in my years of gameplay on PS3 I wish I could have recorded, it was *that* moment….. and I’m never doing it again.
Not quite finishing itself, but I got the good ending in Chrono Cross though I didn’t know what I was doing, I just got fed up of hitting the final boss, thought it was unkillable, >!and figured out what the orbs were trying to indicate at least. But I didn’t know the orbs needed to be in a certain order, but got it first try.!<
I forgot the name of the game, like roots or something. A jrpg style game and I completely neglected one character because he wasn’t interesting. Come end of game and I am forced to play with him in the party against a tough boss. This guy is severely under leveled. Low hp and mana and its impossible to win, my earliest save where I could use him was 12h of progress behind. Because its jrpg I just played it over and over until the rng gods gave some slack and in was able to avoid 70% of his attack by sheer luck and did enough critical to finally finish the boss.
Ys 1
Not exactly a game but that mini game “Tight rope tension” on Wii Fit. It’s impossible to do that again on super advanced
Far Cry 6, when I got the rebels I got back on the boat and just drove around. Suddenly I see a cutscene with the protagonist in Miami
My brother and I managed to figure out the final level password for Aladin SNES and beat the game in one day.
Elden beast for me. Always needed to spawn help
Only once after 50 tries did I escape the ginseng tree in Ori and the Blind Forest.
The rest of the game is quite easy but that one escape sequence caused me to quit the game for a few months.
Elden Ring. I had no idea what I was doing the entire time. Somehow beat it tho.
There was a PS2 Castlevania game where at some point you had a pet that was a purple golem, that’s all I remember. I finished that game without knowing any English and not understanding what was going on, just full on hunga bunga
Fallout 3 but not exactly the end. I was only level 5 when I accidently found my dad. (A *major* part of the storyline for those who don’t know.) Instead of going to the first town out of the vault I wanted to explore. So I took a left and started walking.
Eventually I stumbled across an old abandoned garage. Would have kept going but there was a radroach stuck in the doors of a floor opening. I could VATS on it and quickly realized it was a secret stairway.
After searching I finally found the secret entrance button (which I wouldn’t have looked for without the roach) and it lead right to my dad. My buddy who almost had the game finished was watching me stunned. When I opened the floor doors he let out a laughing “what the fuck dude!?”
I mean it wasn’t the end of the game, but it still took unbelievable luck to make it happen.
