Tim Schafer played Brütal Legend for six hours straight to help players unlock this rare achievement
It's been 15 years since Tim Schafer rocked us out with Brütal Legend, and to celebrate, Schafer dedicated his Sunday afternoon to helping fans unlock the elusive Six Degrees of Schafer achievement.
The Six Degrees of Schafer achievement only unlocks for people who have played directly with Schafer himself or - and here's where the six degrees thing kicks in - someone else who has played with him.
But of over 14,000 tracked players listed on True Achievements, less than 10 percent of Brütal Legend players have it unlocked.

Brütal Legend launched on PS3, Xbox 360, and PC in 2009. It was pitched as an open-world action-adventure, and told the tale of Eddie Riggs (played by Jack Black), a roadie transported to a strange fantasy land where heavy metal reigned supreme. It's playable on Xbox consoles via backwards compatibility.
