confronting the great ones is a hopeless fight (or should be, according to Lovecraft) so I think it's a "poor man's success" in either Arkham Horror or Call of Cthulhu. Something which can be won only thanks to the game designer's mercy

NB in the original AH you could only win by closing all the gates....

yesterday we purchased "curse of dark pharaoh" expansion set for AH boardgame and I must say that these cards can increase dificulty a lot therefore bring even more fun with confronting ancient ones
because of this we (and probably rest of the arkham ^^) were annihilated by awaking azathoth (yesterday) and yog sothoth - today;
all in all - I can honestly recommend this expansion set
