Line 129:
* ''[[Dragon Quest IV]]'' requires the player to collect 6 Broad Swords and 6 suits of Half Plate Armor in the third chapter. At least the random drop rate is a bit higher than usual. It's actually possible to buy the items in stores (from a different town) instead, but this takes at least as long.
* ''[[Dragon Quest IX]]'' uses this trope for most quests. You either (a) have to find an item held as a random drop by a specific kind of monster, (b) explicitly have to kill X of a certain monster, or (c) have to use a specific skill (often in [[Self-Imposed Challenge|an arbitrarily hard way]]) X times against a certain kind of monster.
* In Interplay's ''[[The Lord of the Rings]]'', you have to collect nine cloaks from the Ringwraiths who were washed away in the deluge. This involves a loooooooooong trek up and down the river, and pushing the button everywhere until you can find them all. Finding a couple of them involves fights with Wargs. What's worse, if you go to Rivendell with fewer than the total amount, after Gandalf throws the cloaks into the fire (why the hell did I have to collect them if you're just going to burn them?), the plot will no longer progress and the characters will just sit there forever.
* One of the sidequests in ''[[Sonic Chronicles]]'' is to obtain multiple samples of Nocturnus technology from enemies and give them to Rouge to deliver to her superiors. After receiving about four or five, she grows bored of it and agrees to give Sonic the reward if he promises to stop giving them to her.
** Most of Team Chaotix's missions in ''[[Sonic Heroes]]'' are this. Hundreds of rings? Chao? Hermit crabs??
