>literally
technically no game fits that description since if it has a .00000001% chance you just randomly lucking your way through the game then it isn't literally impossible. a game that i consider figuratively impossible to beat without guides is pic related. at the end of the game you have to backtrack all the way to the beginning and find a small pixel sized rock in a sea of identical rocks then give it to a specific NPC that gives no hint of wanting it. its fucking perplexing how the devs thought it would be possible to figure out, and even more perplexing how someone did figure it out

DK64, not only did you have to get the high score on the machine you had to go back and beat your highscore to continue on, keep in mind nothing in the game even tells you to play the arcade game.

you just have to beat the game twice, no need to beat your high score. I do agree it was strange that nintendo/atari coins were required to beat the game rather than easter egg/secret collectibles, and the nintendo coin was definitely the last thing I got when I played the game as a kid.

It's a logic puzzle game so hard, the dev made the final levels basically expecting/forcing people to "crowdfund solutions".
I refuse to and holy shit I'm never going to beat it. I just can't. Once every couple months I boot it up and just can't make any progress. This game has reduced me to a husk of a caveman.

Not ever since "literally" stopped meaning "literally".

Of course just beating the final boss isn't hard at all, but its not really the entirety of the game.

Brandish for the SNES. There was a pitfall puzzle towards the end of the game where the in game answer key to the puzzle was flat out wrong, and the only way to get past it was to call a 1-900 number to get the real answer to the puzzle.

Name a mask that you don't get through storyline events that isn't described with an exact time window in the bombers notebook.

The only one I can think of that's super missable is the stone mask, the guy has an entry in the bomber's notebook but you won't even find him to add him to it without a guide.

I mean, the use of the word "literally" in the OP means that it is honestly one of the few games that truly applies

>>388401434
I don't think such a thing exists. Every game ever exists to be beaten in some way, that's the point of the game. Even if the dev purposely made it so you randomly die in the middle of a mission, and the credits roll and that's truly the end, you've reached the end of the game so really you've beaten it. Even if a game exists that took 500 years to beat you could just pass it down a line of people. I really don't see a literally impossible to beat game being able to exist.

I'll admit, I had to look up how to progress in that game too. I remember going to a bookstore and finding those cheat guides back in the games section and just looking up the answer without paying for the book. It was that place you had to use the SPELL spell to open the door. As I recall, there were absolutely no hints as to where and when you had to do this. That and finding the hidden village with the hammer by breaking the trees.

>>388402403
One of the very, very few true answers to this question. No, games like La-Mulana where people give up on solving puzzles on their own don't come close to the pure bullshit of this game.

King's Quest 6. You're actually required to use the game's manual, due to a puzzle in the game only having its answer inside that manual, as a form of copy protection when the game came out. If you play the game, you either need the physical manual, or you're going to have to go to the Sierra Help Pages online.

Kamaro's Mask requires stumbling upon it during the first two nights in the overmap on a random mushroom rock and also the Stone Mask as you said.

Don Gero's Mask also is hidden well.
All-Night Mask is really shitty.

And of course the couple mask is a real bitch as well but doable if you are careful with the notebook.

If we add great fairy pieces its even worse with some of the randomly placed fake walls.

Looking at this game, It's not literally impossible to beat. Maybe it would take a very, very, very long time. But someone would eventually beat it, if you kept passing down notes from generations assuming it takes that long.

>>388402804
Actually getting Don Gero's mask is tricky but at least you see the goron wearing it in plain sight, and most of the stuff required to get the meat is stuff you might try anyway (game shows you a torch lighting and I'd try lighting all the torches anyway just to see if anything happens).

All Night Mask is extremely missable but if you meet the bomb lady or figure out how Sakon and the curiosity shop work you can do it, definitely extremely hard to figure out.

Kamaro and Stone would be the two hardest guideless, I think, as long as you know how to actually interpret the bomber's notebook.

>>388402885

>>388402662
Not so if you just do a couple of New Game +

Although I admit a first 100% play-through is close to impossible, even with a guide there were times I was somehow missing .2 percent of some shit.

>>388402716
wild charge mechanic?

>>388402601
Nah designing an impossible to beat game is trivial, you just have to make it more time restrictive than the lifespan of the sun or heat death of universe etc

Like; the game is to replicate each possible board position in the game of Go, but you can only input one board position every year. Definitely beatable, just not in our universe

Although, OP is asking for games literally unbeatable without a guide, but beatable with. Such games I do not think could exist.

Kamaro's not that bad since the music plays while he's there and he's there all night. If you're north of Clock Town for any reason at night you'll hear his song and the mushrooms are hard to miss.

All Night Mask is probably the most bullshit once since you need to miss the Bomb Lady, and Stone Mask unless you're paying attention with the Lens of Truth.

He doesn't escape with the booster, he repairs the teleporter that's located where he ended up. I think you can actually teleport back to the labyrinth if he does.
