Fortunately, you’re wrong) For example, I have just started SL1 DS1 and I have been doing great! After that I’m planning either to complete Bow Only Run or SL1 DS2. Maybe even pacifist one if I buy myself DS3)
Not as bad as fextralife. Have you seen his Midir guide, it's the most cringe I've seen from a guide video ever. And DON'T EVEN get me started on eextralife and bextralife, they're just fucking weird.
It's why some people still respec to faith cause they think Lightning is the thing to use against Midir. Physical is way more effective against Midir, Lightning is only the best out of the elementals (so use a physical build, but buff with gold pine).
Yeah, this even more than hiring/magicking/tricking allies into killing things for you is pretty non-pacifist. The fact it did no damage doesn't change it being a violent attack. Might as well have kicked him in. xD Still a fun run though. Edit: ...and then there's Aldrich. Welp.

Just like with the Fallout 4 No Equip Load, this was truly an emotional Odyssey from begining to end. Only you could get away with a frantic dab emote and still make the video an epic in the most traditional sense.
That's how I beat my wife and get away without legal repercussions. She's pregnant as well, so I'm gonna see if it works on newborns also. Wish me luck! :D
"As a pacifist, I'd never hit you with a weapon. This stick with sharp objects protruding is a weapon, so I can't use it." *repeatedly uses body covered in sharp objects to hit target* "Yes, I am a pacifist."
Hey, he was just dodging attacks. Spikes are just a fashion statement. His enemies _just so happened_ to be in the wrong place and time when he rolled by.
In this video, I have always loved the Sirris grandad fight with the dab emote at the end. It's supposed to be a heartfelt moment for her and the jackass she chose to help her lay him to rest only healed her and provided distractions then when the deed has been done she has one last heartfelt moment with her grandad as he passes then the jackass who did nothing the whole time starts dabbing on his grave IDK that mental image just makes me chuckle.
I'm amazed at the dedication this man puts into these tutorials. Yeesh, pretty curious about how many hours, days, weeks, and months went into this single video. Well, there went over one hour. One hour well spent. Have a good day/night, person reading this.
He said 120 hours to make the video. We can easily add on another 24-72 hours for the actual run.so prolly around a week total. Max is probably about a month
I love it when you leave in the strats that failed, it really gives us a sense of the work and trial and error going on! Amazing routing and editing as always, you're awesome
*"You have been accused of murder, how do you plead?"* "I did no such thing your honour, I merely body-checked him a few times covered in spiked plates after which he died of completely natural blood loss." *"....."* "........sooo" *"Free to go."*
he didn't damage anyone! it's not his fault aldritch was standing in the path of his rolls! you can't outlaw a man's fashion just because it has spikes on it, that would put all the punks out of business.
Friendly tip for Aldrich second phase arrow barrage: As soon as he starts casting it stick to the walls and keep rolling the perimeter, the arrows will follow you up to the wall and then they will lose the tracking, practically nullifying the whole effect. Tested multiple times in low SL runs and it works like a charm!
As far as I know he could also just cast vow of silence. Aldrich shouldn't be able to do any ranged attack anymore. Though you must've talked to yuria and have a talisman and enough faith
@@nathanjora7627 I just did a pure miracle run (I started it as I got a lighting spear) early game like wolnir and crystal boss guy were the worst but at the end I was dealing something around 1200 dmg having 30 vigor and quite a lot of stamina. It took me almost 8 hours I highly recomend doing only miracles run
@@zamany7596 Well... I honestly don't want to :/ Miracles are the most fun to play with in DS3 to me, thanks to ashen estuses, the return of mana, bonus damage for lightning at close range and of course poise casting, but there are too many too frustrating things for me to consider it worthy compared to a pure sorcery or pure pyromancy playthrough, and frankly it's ridiculous that the issues that have plagued miracle builds sinve DS1 haven't been resolved in DS3, with only a couple having been resolved in DS2.
True lol. I love the idea behind faith builds in dark souls 1and 2 but i got late to the party and everything is nerf as fuck and dude I don't even do pvp because im too bad. I just want to throw some lighting shits to the bosses but I do (after testing a lot of shits) at best 400 damage KEKW and with any int build up yo 1500 damage. Lime ftw from why so fucking nerfed. Like can't u learn hot to balance instead of just killing an archetype U CREATED IN THE FIRST PLACE??????
@@Kazuhiro-i If you're doing PvE miracles, I tend to find that they take a while to pick up steam, mid to later game. Its unfortunate, but you could do what I do and do a separate build till you are that far in the game, and then respec into a faith build. The ones I tend to have the most fun with are paladins using most types of miracles but most upgraded miracles are useful in some way.
@@grubby9486 In my experience Faith Builds work best when u start out as a Tank pilling up VIgor and Vitality with Good Armor and later skill more Faith and Attunment. As a tank u benefit more from the healing miracles and u get faith when u get reall damaging miracles. Worked for me in every Dark Souls game so far. I once did a run in DS3 where i traded Solaires armor as early as possible and than played Buff-Souls with Deep Protection until i got the good stuff. Works well
Judge: "you are accused of killing lord wolnir." Ymfah: "I only aggressively rolled at him. Its not my fault that the just happen to be spikes on my armor."
"First of all, I only broke his gaudy bracelets. Those things were a crime against fashion of their own. Second, that guy was a skeleton. You wouldn't trust a skeleton. Would you, Your Honour?"
He has two "death" animations. One if you kill him and he dies. This is the canonically moral and good thing to do, but much harder. Then there's the second one, where you destroy his bracelets. His protective bracelets. That prevent him from being swallowed by the Abyss, where his soul would be condemned to incomprehensible suffering beyond the end of time. You actually watch him in that death animation getting pulled backwards into the darkness as he reaches out, desperate for anything or anyone that can save him, fearful beyond death in a way only a tortured and ageless soul ever could be. Only a monster would destroy his bracelets. So anyhow that's what he did here. No killing! He's guaranteed to live forever and ever and ever now, down in the deepest center of the Abyss! Yay! Pacifism!
Pffff Haha :P and yet people accuse him of "falling from standard" and "not sticking to the title" in his Bloodborne Pacifist run cuz he poison rolled everyone, these are supposed to be challenge runs - people can't just enjoy something can they now.
“I’ve seen your kind, time and time again. Every speedrun must be done . Every new challenge must be unearthed. Such is the bravery of self-proclaimed Ymfah . But in the end, you lack all the failure. For the glory you’ll bring upon yourself...”
I want you to know that you are the only youtuber where I cannot be doing anything else while I'm watching. It's more than that you're videos are text-based with subtitles. The absolute lunacy of these runs is something I cannot look away from. It's utterly enrapturing and I love it.
Can we just take a moment to appreciate how every obstacle in the run is tackled in unique and creative ways? Some of the setups you showed are some 900 IQ shit lol.
Me: "Well I took the day off today... Now how the hell am I going to spend it?" *sees brand-new hour-long Ymfah video in my feed* Me: "This... This is going to be a good day."
@@crimsonace185 if rolling is the only 'legit' way for that run, I can't fathom just how long it would take Actually, if midir's defense is high enough, would thorns even do damage?
Forget pacifist, this makes you a sadomasochist at leaat, cannot fathom the pain of rolling unto a boss 354 times... and then he heals if he touches you with 1 attack and adds another 70? Ish rolls... no thanks. And I can't imagine the pain of losing to someone who literally stabbed me with thorns over 400 times... in a row... slowly scraping my skin off till I died.
I just want to say that this video is immaculate. Every music choice and edit is so good, and the ridiculous lengths to finish the challenge are as well. It's a piece of art, and I've watched it probably 4 or 5 times more. Thank you ymfah.
well, it's official; dark souls 3 is the skyrim of dark souls there was clearly so much effort put into this and i enjoyed every minute of it. amazing work dude, i gotta give huge props. can't imagine how long it took to edit this, let alone do it!
Ymfah, i just want to say thank you. You might think that this video isn't much, but you have saved me from going insane many times before. Your great mood, optimism, humor and awesome taste in music makes this one of my favorite channels and has made me smile on the hardest days of my life. Thank you for everything, friend.
I seriously respect the fact that you went back and killed the bosses you skipped instead of just leaving it at them being skipped. Really shows that you cared about covering a facets of this challenge!

@@IronTarkus876 A meme can be the truth. Just think about the Epstein didn't kill himself meme. It's both a meme and the truth, at the same time. Widely known as Schroedingers Meme.
Something interesting to note about ymfah's observations during the yhorm fight: One of the popular DS3 mods introduced elemental rolling damage. Basically it's Kirk's armor but with elemental damage. Sounds neat, right? Well, I've seen at least a few soulstubers play it and at least half of them got parried by an invader NPC. The invader parried... a dodge roll. Which is interesting because ymfah's tests show that the kirk roll either has a weapon class associated with it or a stat scale of some sort. He bounces off Yhorm either because he doesn't have the stats to not get deflected or because it's classified as a lighter weapon striking a larger shield (straight swords bounce off greatshields even with the stats). just some useless data i suppose
2 years late but IIRC Kirk's armor uses the same stat requirements as whatever you're holding. Since he doesn't meet the strength requirement for the shield of want, his armor's "attack" bounces off and does no damage, as if he had swung with a weapon he didn't have the stats for. I don't know if ymfah knew that, but since he didn't explain it in the video I'm assuming he found it by accident. Keep in mind I'm not 100% certain that it causes this in DS3, but I do know it worked like that in DS1 from watching lobosjr do a "use what you see" randomizer run. I wouldn't be surprised if fromsoft inadvertently ported the bug over to DS3, since it's such an obscure thing and very easy to miss.
Fun fact to make Aldrich easier (on any run, not just pacifist): if he does phase 2 arrows, run to directly under the gwyn statue at the back of the room. The arrows can’t hit you at all.
The princes fight was something else, holy cow. The music (which was also the intro music from an hour prior), the massive, painful buildup, the thing right before it being a massive physical and emotional pain, and the fight itself. Chef's kiss, it's perfect. Now if only the music link would work on my phone.

In this video, I have always loved the Sirris grandad fight with the dab emote at the end. It's supposed to be a heartfelt moment for her and the jackass she chose to help her lay him to rest only healed her and provided distractions then when the deed has been done she has one last heartfelt moment with her grandad as he passes then the jackass who did nothing the whole time starts dabbing on his grave IDK that mental image just makes me chuckle.

he didn't damage anyone! it's not his fault aldritch was standing in the path of his rolls! you can't outlaw a man's fashion just because it has spikes on it, that would put all the punks out of business.

Me : Oh boy, time for some insane glitch
Friendly tip for Aldrich second phase arrow barrage: As soon as he starts casting it stick to the walls and keep rolling the perimeter, the arrows will follow you up to the wall and then they will lose the tracking, practically nullifying the whole effect. Tested multiple times in low SL runs and it works like a charm!
As far as I know he could also just cast vow of silence.
Aldrich shouldn't be able to do any ranged attack anymore.
Though you must've talked to yuria and have a talisman and enough faith
@@nathanjora7627 I just did a pure miracle run (I started it as I got a lighting spear) early game like wolnir and crystal boss guy were the worst but at the end I was dealing something around 1200 dmg having 30 vigor and quite a lot of stamina.
It took me almost 8 hours I highly recomend doing only miracles run
@@zamany7596 Well... I honestly don't want to :/
Miracles are the most fun to play with in DS3 to me, thanks to ashen estuses, the return of mana, bonus damage for lightning at close range and of course poise casting, but there are too many too frustrating things for me to consider it worthy compared to a pure sorcery or pure pyromancy playthrough, and frankly it's ridiculous that the issues that have plagued miracle builds sinve DS1 haven't been resolved in DS3, with only a couple having been resolved in DS2.
Roll in a triangle (medium equipment load).
You can just go to the alcove at the end of the boss room and the ceiling stops the arrows
"So how to make a viable miracle build ?"
Ymfah : use other people as weapons
True lol. I love the idea behind faith builds in dark souls 1and 2 but i got late to the party and everything is nerf as fuck and dude I don't even do pvp because im too bad. I just want to throw some lighting shits to the bosses but I do (after testing a lot of shits) at best 400 damage KEKW and with any int build up yo 1500 damage. Lime ftw from why so fucking nerfed. Like can't u learn hot to balance instead of just killing an archetype U CREATED IN THE FIRST PLACE??????
@@Kazuhiro-i If you're doing PvE miracles, I tend to find that they take a while to pick up steam, mid to later game. Its unfortunate, but you could do what I do and do a separate build till you are that far in the game, and then respec into a faith build. The ones I tend to have the most fun with are paladins using most types of miracles but most upgraded miracles are useful in some way.
Worked for the Church IRL
@@grubby9486 In my experience Faith Builds work best when u start out as a Tank pilling up VIgor and Vitality with Good Armor and later skill more Faith and Attunment. As a tank u benefit more from the healing miracles and u get faith when u get reall damaging miracles. Worked for me in every Dark Souls game so far. I once did a run in DS3 where i traded Solaires armor as early as possible and than played Buff-Souls with Deep Protection until i got the good stuff. Works well
Works for real churches!

Judge: "you are accused of killing lord wolnir."
Ymfah: "I only aggressively rolled at him. Its not my fault that the just happen to be spikes on my armor."
tbf he doesn't really DIE he just gets trapped in the abyss and you cant kill whats already dead... right?
"First of all, I only broke his gaudy bracelets. Those things were a crime against fashion of their own. Second, that guy was a skeleton. You wouldn't trust a skeleton. Would you, Your Honour?"
He has two "death" animations. One if you kill him and he dies. This is the canonically moral and good thing to do, but much harder.
Then there's the second one, where you destroy his bracelets. His protective bracelets. That prevent him from being swallowed by the Abyss, where his soul would be condemned to incomprehensible suffering beyond the end of time. You actually watch him in that death animation getting pulled backwards into the darkness as he reaches out, desperate for anything or anyone that can save him, fearful beyond death in a way only a tortured and ageless soul ever could be. Only a monster would destroy his bracelets.
So anyhow that's what he did here. No killing! He's guaranteed to live forever and ever and ever now, down in the deepest center of the Abyss! Yay! Pacifism!
@@chrismanuel9768 Wolnir was a tyrant and tried to colonize the abyss. He deserves to be devoured by it, the overambitious bastard.
Pffff Haha :P and yet people accuse him of "falling from standard" and "not sticking to the title" in his Bloodborne Pacifist run cuz he poison rolled everyone, these are supposed to be challenge runs - people can't just enjoy something can they now.

The "Just get some friends if it's too hard, idiot" run.
Something interesting to note about ymfah's observations during the yhorm fight:
One of the popular DS3 mods introduced elemental rolling damage. Basically it's Kirk's armor but with elemental damage. Sounds neat, right? Well, I've seen at least a few soulstubers play it and at least half of them got parried by an invader NPC. The invader parried... a dodge roll.
Which is interesting because ymfah's tests show that the kirk roll either has a weapon class associated with it or a stat scale of some sort. He bounces off Yhorm either because he doesn't have the stats to not get deflected or because it's classified as a lighter weapon striking a larger shield (straight swords bounce off greatshields even with the stats).
just some useless data i suppose
2 years late but IIRC Kirk's armor uses the same stat requirements as whatever you're holding. Since he doesn't meet the strength requirement for the shield of want, his armor's "attack" bounces off and does no damage, as if he had swung with a weapon he didn't have the stats for. I don't know if ymfah knew that, but since he didn't explain it in the video I'm assuming he found it by accident.
Keep in mind I'm not 100% certain that it causes this in DS3, but I do know it worked like that in DS1 from watching lobosjr do a "use what you see" randomizer run. I wouldn't be surprised if fromsoft inadvertently ported the bug over to DS3, since it's such an obscure thing and very easy to miss.
