    I love how all the other channels that do stuff like this will be like “so obviously we have to climb ladders to complete the game so that’s allowed” then ymfah is out here finding the perfect bypass to adhere to the challenge 100%. You’ll always be the OG

      I don't blame others for bending the rules given how arbitrary the work around often is. But I also think the fun part of ymfah's videos aren't the challenges but the glitches those challenges lead to. They're like an excuse to show off a bunch of broken shit and frame it in an entertaining way.

      i mean the warp at the end basically requires doing dancer early. you don't kill her early to get +9, you just have to get her out of the way so that the room is clear. otherwise killing aldritch would teleport you to the dancer fight which puts you at a huge risk to lose the teardrop glitch.

    Given that Ymfah tends to show all the strategies he tries, even ones that aren't successful, I can only conclude that he went through this entire run (one where his main problem in combat is that he can't dodge) without it ever occurring to him that using a good shield might be a viable strategy.
    He used Iron Flesh as a defensive tool before considering using a shield. This truly says a lot about Dark Souls 3 shields.

    When you can kill gods with daggers and no walking but you need to break space and time to go over a ladder.

    I always like to imagine all the characters who beat these games talking to each other, because they all exist in different universes and whatnot. They'll ask each other shit like "how did you beat the Lord of Cinder/Elden lord/Whatever" and this character gets to say, "yeah, I broke time and space and destroyed the logic of the world by killing everyone without walking". And it's actually cannon. Love these kinds of souls challenge runs. This is probably one of the most impressive challenge runs of these games i've ever seen.
