* When [=McJones=] is lagging out in the Nether, with only three hearts left, Dean comes to his rescue.

** PBG and gym battles seem to produce this trope. [[spoiler: Despite losing Shedinja, whom he had planned to cheese Winona's notoriously difficult Altaria with (Shedinja is immune to anything her Altaria can do), PBG goes in hard. It's also a cross-LP moment of awesome, as Maginator takes out the beastly Altaria in one hit, avenging PBG's bud [=ProJared=] who had his entire team swept by it.]]

--->'''[=TheHockeyGamer=]''': How I imagine [[spoiler:Dean died]]:\\

* ''Minecraft Hardcore #1'':
** The team manage to gather the Blaze Rods they need from the Nether, and, despite having to walk across a narrow bridge suspended over lava and [[spoiler:PBG accidentally angering a group of Zombie Pigmen]], they all make it back alive.
** The finale, where [[spoiler:Jon and Barry defeat the Ender Dragon in spectacular fashion.]]
*** With Monster Hunter Tri's Quest Complete music playing in the background.
* ''[=MineZ=] Hardcore'':
** On a meta-level, the season as a whole is one for the team. The series is much darker and more dramatic than the last few seasons. CerebusSyndrome is in full effect here, with one of the most [[spoiler:climactic FinalBoss fights the series has ever seen.]]
** The fact that [[spoiler:the group managed to avoid death entirely until Episode 11, a first for Hardcore.]]
** In Episode 13, [[spoiler:Dean is anticlimactically revealed to have died on the pirate ship]]. A fan in the comments had this to say:

** What about how [[spoiler:PBG and Mcjones managed to escape the cave despite both being at half a heart of health, and traveled to another town while being infected? Even though Mcjones and PBG later died, the fact that they got as far as they could with minimum health was incredible.]]
** [[spoiler:The FinalBattle against the Giant in Episode 16. Jeff dies, but it doesn't deter Ian and Barry. After a short break and a "[[Literature/TheBible Last]] [[TitleDrop Supper]]", the two dive into battle, and [[PunctuatedForEmphasis it. Is. Awesome.]] Even if it does end in failure.]]
* ''Terraria Hardcore #2'':
** [[spoiler:The group tearing through the Eye of Cthulhu with no casualties at all]] in Episode 8.
** [[spoiler:Jeff, [=McJones=] and Jon doing the same to the Eater of Worlds]] in Episode 15, and then [[spoiler:doing it again in the same video! Specifically, Jeff absolutely destroying it with the chainsaw.]]

** [[spoiler: [=McJones=] ''almost'' defeating the Wall of Flesh ''by himself'' in the finale. With less than 400 maximum health to boot. Even though he didn't make it, it was a valiant effort.]]
* ''Super Mario 64: Chaos Edition/Hacked''
** After 9 parts of agonizing struggle against the glitchy nature of the game, PBG finally beat Bowser. He felt so excited and pumped up about it that he decided to continue past that and try his luck with Lethal Lava Land in the castle basement.
** After struggling with Big Boo's Haunt for several episodes (often resulting in going somewhere else instead), he finally got two in a row when a glitch gave him well over 100 coins at once.
* ''Pokemon [=AlphaSapphire=] Hardcore Nuzlocke''
** The fact that, despite a very rusty knowledge of Pokemon and a number of slip-ups, he managed to make it to [[spoiler: the third gym]] without a single loss.
** A couple of his Pokemon have earned spots on this list for serving above and beyond the call of duty here as well. There's [=ZigZam=] the Linoone, who went from being considered worthless to PBG's star battler, and "the New Hope" Gyarados, Maginator. Maginator hasn't been around as long as [=ZigZam=] but has proven his worth by [[spoiler: hanging on at minimal health ''twice'', both instances just so happening to be the Archie and Flannery battles listed below.]]
** Any time PBG snatches a victory out of the jaws of what seems like certain defeat. Such as...
*** Battling Wattson. [[spoiler: PBG just suffered his first loss in the gym, and during the battle loses Tarty, his starter. Thanks to careful planning and a bit of luck, he manages to win without any more deaths.]]
*** His battle against [[spoiler: Archie, where by the time the Team Aqua leader sends out his final Pokemon he's worn down and positive that ''someone'' is going to die. Maginator saves the day by taking a Wing Attack from Golbat and surviving with two HP, then striking first on the next turn with a decisive Dragon Rage.]]
*** The gym battle against Flannery. [[spoiler: PBG just lost Camel the Numel, the key to his battle plan. He's already despairing and predicts the run will end there, but finds the resolve to battle. Maginator nearly goes down, surviving with two HP ''again'' (and a burn) but takes out two of Flannery's roster singlehandedly. [=ZigZam=] finishes the last Pokemon with ease, concluding the fight without a single loss on PBG's side.]]
*** Norman's considered notoriously difficult, and for good reason. Despite this, PBG goes into the gym with just four Pokemon on him. [[spoiler: He beats Norman (although losing his Machoke in the process), with both [=ZigZam=] ''and'' Maginator holding on at low health. Maginator even fights through a dangerous Swagger-induced confusion to deliver the final blow.]]

* In Terraria Hardcore 2, the team successfully kills a boss in part 8 without anyone dying [[spoiler:until later]].
** This is followed by the team handily defeating the second boss in part 15 with no casualties... [[spoiler: and then doing it again in the same video!]]
