So you are basically shy at talking to npc but not scared to fight them
since you told me that does that mean i am gonna die now?
That didn't stick in court

The music.
The humor.
The godlike editing.
And most importantly, showing every obstacle and all the complex thought process that went into beating it.
Your channel is a real goldmine, and this particular video is probably one of the best I've ever seen on UA-cam. This is my third time watching it.
Congratulations.

Was it a live stream? I can’t find it
@@SirGuidemere91it's the immolation only run
Honestly I love the consistent use of Ghibli movie tracks in this video, Drangleic, gives me a darker version of the vibes that ghibli does in a lot of their soft post-apocalyptic settings. Obviously there aren't any ravenous undead or anything *usually* so blatantly violent or dangerous, but a lot of the locations in DS2 have a sense of stillness to them that the other games kinda lack in my mind. People living out their existence despite the curse slowly and inevitably making them eventually go hollow. It's a very somber idea compared to the rest of the series and I really like that you kinda highlighted that, intentionally or not.
@@8Kazuja8 You're completely spot on
Those Ghibli tracks contrasted with the much more apocalyptic feeling Evangelion tracks really help set the perfect tone in the video.
*Before every video* “No fucking way”

7 years of DS2 and I had no idea Repair Tree was even a thing, wtf.
I did. But I never knew that the work hook gives you 5 dex. That is actually so fking cool, it's like the devs thought of everything to just barerly make challenge runs bearable.
Truly the mysteries of Drangleic are infinite.
Same, buy its 3 years
Never knew the tree or the weird pit with the covinous demon in it.... I want to know how to get there now
@@keytohearts1194 what weird pit? I

Now some parts of it are silent though :(

@@flamingrubys11 I never may have thought of that, I 100% agree, except I’d just get really, really upset about it. Still gonna get it because it’s a fromsoftware game, and those are pretty dang good, as we know. :)

The fact that the "no talk" run is evangelion themed is pure gold
Can you explain? Never seen evangelion
@@Deppie_____ the main character of Evangelion is extremely depressed and afraid of any confrontation with other people. It's a great show, I really recommend it
@@Deppie_____ to kind of add to what was already said- it's amazing but you have to go into it knowing it's not a typical shounen "can do attitude and power of friendship!!!1!!" show. It's a more realistic look at what being the only hope of humanity in a violent war with horrific monsters would ACTUALLY do to a kids psyche lol
@@Deppie_____ yep, the main character shinji it's really fearful of people knowing the way he feels (and interpersonal relationships in general) so throught the show he very rarely share it
@@Lord_necromancerI'd add a disclaimer.
Your appreciation of Evangelion is inversely proportional to your happiness and satisfaction with life.
Dark Souls 2: This game is about you, the character. It's about your story, not...why aren't you saying anything? Wait, what are you doing? Stop that, you're not supposed to-wait, please stop doing this, we want to build your character's story.
Ymfah: *cicada chirping*
I like the implication that the closest thing that Ymfah can do to replying is chirp as a cicada!
Man, I'm so in love with this style of 'how to'. Love those small cinematic moments that just take in the environment of the area you're about to go through, and the music combined with it is so awesome! honestly watched this video 10+ times just for the masterful video editing
The funniest part is how he writes instructions like anyone else would ever want to do this lol.
I would
The weirdest part is, I've seen the most actual serious "thanks for the guide! really helped!" comments on his NO DEATH/NO BONFIRE AT THE SAME TIME video. Arguably the hardest thing he's done lol.
Gotta learn that cat ring skip for a low soul memory agape ring sun bros build. I want to bring Sacred Oath back to sentinels, 500 souls for a ladder bumps my build into the next SM tier
i followed his 50 int ds2 video and i gotta say im glad he does it that way.
just goes to show that anyone can do it if they wanted to
Ngl, sometimes I start a new game and really don't want to mash through dialogue with the firekeepers or the emerald herald, so the temptation is fairly high after watching this.

28:43 "DS3 Miracles only"
Old Man: Oh I don't think so...
the only reason its not doable is that you dont get a single offensive miracle for vordt or gundyr
although, you can still pacifist them
Ds2/3 poison only would be fun too!
MGSV Pacifist is too doable. Even mandatory Armor Skull fights have been done pacifist.
im just hyped for the teasing of mgsV vids to be honest.
I tried a Miracle build pretty good damage and looks badass but he will suffer at the start and I want to see it

and will it be before or "after immulation only?"

How is that a challenge? Point down already one shots everything.

This is easily one of my favorite videos on this website. Editing is top notch, the whole Eva theme is godlike & its such a dope twist on a level 1 run.
I have rewatched this video multiple times since release, it is a masterpiece
Gotta love how Ymfah puts "beat Dark Souls 2" in the title but then he kills Nashandra and the video keeps going
Well there is a boss after Nashandra, and plus I think he meant kill complete every dlc too
@@alfalldoot6715 with p2d and Sotfs and dark souls 3 being out for the longest time now the DLC are really just apart of the main game
You’ve outdone yourself with this one. I love a good Evangelion shitpost, but I’m really impressed with the editing as a whole. Some of those sequences are genuinely beautiful.
It was an absolutely masterful shitpost.
Evangelion and Ghibli music features are making my nostalgia do back flips
To be fair he has changed his editing style in this video a bit from the usual. Alot more calm/sceneic moments between the meme montages.

@@ApXucBuH yes, by plateau peak. And blizzargioga is working on a WoWC only run.
Nah DS2 miracles are way more viable than DS3 miracles, borderline normal difficulty
Beat the game with out talking? That shouldn’t be too- oh...
Yeah i know right
Yeah i thought that first too
Its like Hollow Knight without the Focus/heal ability:
At first I was like: Sure, not that special! Pleanty of speedrunners do no heal runs no big de- Wait a minute!!
No Focus = No dreamers = No HK fight = No base game ending
Only possible ending is God Home ending = Boss rush with 40 bosses = Defeat all 40 bosses (including optional ones) in the game first!!
Funny how a simple rule change can make such a difference in a game's run.
Honnestly I love the EVA posting. All music and the references are so subtle. Love it all. Good job man.

God, the entire sequence with The Ecstasy of Gold from 24:13 to 27:27 may be one of my favourite pieces of audio-visual media I've ever experienced.
Thankyou! I was looking for the name of the music.
This is my favourite of your Dark Souls 2 videos. Keep up the incredible game breaking work!
Everybody out here talking about how he's crazy creative and good at the games but my god can we talk about this man's choice of music for a second?! Every. Single. Video. has an absolutely flawless list of tracks. It's at the point where I'm not even sure how he's able to pick his music so well, seeing as some of the tracks he uses have like less than 10k clicks.
Is there any easy way to figure out the tracklist? Does Shazam work for video game music? lol
@@umino7 a playlist of tracks used can be found in the description
There are two theories on how Ymfah finds such well fitting and amazing songs for his videos.
Number 1: Ymfah sold his soul to a daedric being known only as, "Joe" and has gained omniscience of every song ever and picks which songs are the best for his videos.
Number 2: Ymfah is just a very good and hard working youtuber. (most probable)
@@umino7 Most of the music are from the anime Neon Genesis Evangelion Soundtrack
