Everhood has a corridor that takes 3 or 4 hours to reach its end. It's totally optional (thank god) but yeah, I would call it a ''Ladder moment''

Great list!

Final Fantasy XII has a boss that takes hours to kill. The mitigating factor is that you can leave and return at any time and it doesn't regenerate its health, so that might disqualify it from the list.

The Library from Halo CE also comes to mind.
