This can be blamed on a translation error - the original Japanese version had a gender-neutral name for the item instead, although who knows why they didn't simply translate it as "Mermaid Meat".

"Mandrake Is The Best Medicine" wherein you have to get Mandrake Root.As one final kick in the rump, by the time you're even able to attempt this sidequest, let alone strong and skilled enough to beat it, there is absolutely nothing left to do in the game. Then you must face and defeat the Silvery White Knight, a savagely difficult Bonus Boss, to finally earn the battery. Once you have all six of these emblems you earn the Luna Emblem and can finally take on the Azure Sky Tower, which you must complete over and over and over again, each time adding a few extra floors to the tower (At first it's only 12 floors), until you've built it up to 99 floors (This will take hours upon hours). Then they must enter the Azure Sky Tower to earn an elemental emblem (you get one of four at random), then earn the other three through "Emblem Resonance", a process which involves other players and a link cable who are also taking on this sidequest. To get it you must first beat the game and earn the Dark Emblem, then fully restore the Solar Tree to earn the Sol Emblem. The Infinite Battery quest in Boktai is so prohibitively difficult that odds are not a single gamer has ever earned it via legitimate means.

If steering into a bomb-lined wall twenty times doesn't drive you to madness, hearing your sidekick shout the same things over and over again will. They require you to maneuver the not-very-manueverable hovercraft through a maze of twisty passages lined with mines, lasers, and obstacles, all the while "racing" against the doors, which close on a timer - and some of which are almost impossible to get through in time without using speed boosts.
#POKER QUEST HACKED TV#
The Looter's Caverns in Beyond Good & Evil have caused more than one player to attack their TV screens in a fit of rage.One of them even has a time limit before it self-destructs - if you don't beat all the enemies quickly, you'll be tossed from the dungeon before you can pick it up (FYI, it's the wounded miner dream). You have to find all 50 of them throughout the game, and most of them are permanently missable if you're not careful, especially since there's one in each dungeon and most dungeons are one time visits. In Alundra, there's the Gilded Falcons quest.
