ymfah pin your comment ya dummy
Now the only human boss left is truly Alonne
Dark Souls 1 SL1 next?
God dam i think you are the only one who does this kind of format, pretty much like a tuto with chapters , showing advanced tech
ymfah as some help on the Burnt Ivory king you can Insta kill him by trapping him the ice with the gates.
This is 1 hour combining all the Dark Souls video genres into 1. It's a guide, a meme video, a ridiculous challenge and you even memed some lore in there(Prepare to cry: Torch Hollow). This must have taken you a lifetime
And he did it to the tune of big-band, swinging jazz.
Rip Petro the Torch Hollow :'(
Then you realize how many of these he’s made
"Farm the peasant set (extremely important)" "Now you can look like a true pleb"
wait I just realized what he looks like in the beginning he is literally just the hacker invader from happy souls
"cuz it's easy... and it does a lot of damage..." Happy Souls the goat.
I gotta watch happy souls every once in a while to keep my sanity
@@meci6625 whenever it's mentioned more like

Santi Martín what ever is needed to keep yourself from hollowing.
Damn dude. When I clicked on a 55 minute video I thought I was gonna be bored out of my mind by some barely edited mundane guide. Next thing I knew I had accidentally watched the whole video. Not only is this an extremely well edited and compressed tutorial, it also managed to keep me entertained and laughing the entire way through. You did a really good job. I'll definitely be watching more of your stuff, even if the subject doesn't interest me. This was just that great.
nice
Jesus plays dark souls?
@@airitech572 obviously why wouldn't he
He just approves it.
@@ymfah Nice.
I never realized how much this game rewards you for knowing niche little details and strategies, wether intentional or not.
Like ruin sentinel and smelter skip?
@@halvarianknight4477 yee
It's also the only Souls game where bows have a respectable amount of power to their shots, making a lot of scenarios that seem absolutely stupid turn out to be very easy with ranged bow sniping.
@@joshuakim5240 For all the game's issues, the developers really did put a lot of care into the little details. They made sure that almost any building could be viable in some manner, even down to the ladle and broken straight sword.
DustyO'Rusty Or they implemented a poorly thought out system ripped for exploits that made it so that pretty much any build was viable even with weapons that are by design supposed to be jokes.
Bearer See- Seek Lest
That's why he did the sl1 run, so that he could skip that dialogue.
Im just shitposting
hahhahahahahaha
you suck
those are words I strive for every single time I do a run based off his guides
16:10 Who would win, a horde of Alonne Knights, or one climby ladder boi
This made my day
A greatbow
How can alone knights be a hoarde again?
Dex>Sex You never disappoint me

49:02-49:29 I absolutely love these segments in Ymfah's DS videos! The amount of times I have died to those SAME bosses is crazy
but then you can see how he gets the bosses health lower every time
28:19 "Same as normal Dragonrider" so, what, count seven steps and then make him fall off a ledge?
Yep
I used my Stand.
I see ur a man of colture
I know your comment is way old but for anyone reading it don't hit the switches on the way to boss... will fill in the floor so he won't fall... but if that happens just stick to his back SUPER EASY boss....
Holy moly the amount of work/editing that went into this. Amazing, great work.
PowerMind now, imagine doing all of that work and expending all of that effort and saying to yourself “Y’know what would really show how proud I am of this massive investment of time and effort...a stupid, gutter-level rape joke. (Types out Rape-ier) Yeah...fucking perfect.”
@@Gracklef1int shut up cringelord
Gub Gub nah. I stand for something. Do you? Wait...lemme guess...is it rape jokes? You stand up for rape jokes. Right? I’m right aren’t I?
@@Gracklef1int wow dude you must be so fun at parties
yourboychamoy you’re right. One time I was at this party where I totally forgot all of my rape joke punchlines and nobody laughed.
I just noticed the Ivory King's hat gets taller after he buffs.
Replace it with Doug dimmadome's hat
The L O R E
DEEPEST LORE
@@thatoneguy8966 Doug Dimmadome? Owner of the Dimmsdale Dimmadome?
@@justjoking5252 Not right.
These are actually very useful tips even for a non-SL1 run.
You should start the "w/Powerwolf" bait. Success guaranteed. 11/7 would Deus Vult again.
Jeff le Ménestrel I know this comment is a year or so old, but Dues Vult, the time for a crusade never stops
@@frosty3469 a little late but the holy land is still in the hands of the enemy. DEUS VULT BROTHER! THIS CRUSADE WILL NEVER END!
Ryan Baldoza Just because we lost doesn’t mean we cannot claim it back.
Frost y yes DEUS VULT
2 years later, we are still Vulting the Deus
19:38 Yikes. Ymfah predicted the future.
No, he didn't, It's just cuz' when he show a funny image of the rotten he use a Photo of Robbie ROTTEN, is funny cuz'.... Yeah You know
steveminero wooosh
@@nowanalt7804 big whoosh
it wasn't really a hard prediction, he had terminal cancer
@@steveminero5228 i think you missed a joke i don't think it i completly mean because i see you don't know what sarcasm means
Every time i get F on the exam : T A C T I C A L S U I C I D E
43:44 I love this scene. Perfectly edited. Godlike quality. Man, you're the reason why i watch youtube (Saw all the 55 min already 4 times just because it is just so godlike edited) KEEP IT UP, DUDE!
It's impressive how you did a 1 hour long video to be entertaining from start to finish, you are awesome!
Now do a SL 1 no death no bonfire no hit no damage bare fists one hand upside down controller keyboard and mouse run with closed eyes
That would be too easy you casul.
He d rather cut his balls with a spoon while it is being stung by thousands of bullet ants
He could do that in his sleep.
lonesoul taker lmao
*reading* pff, that's easy *reading* Oh..... keyboard and mouse? You mean like, no changing the keys as well? Yeah, I think that's impossible, man. All hail the double left-click parry!
Can't believe you edited 1 fucking hour of video, well done.
When the video is so good you don't even realise you just spent one hour not even realising it's been one hour
The cuts make this seem so easy and simple, but in reality doing SL1 in this game is one of the circles of hell. Especially with the god damn DLCs. Sick job man
While doing sl1 I realised what dlc's probably has too much doors, lol
49:05 I was beginning to wonder if it'll show up
im just tryna imagine your state of mind when you decided to put the "oh yeah mr krabs" with the apply lube.
Are you feeling it now Mr. Crabs????
Powerwolf intro is the best intro! Great video ymfah!
24:40 this looks like a perfectly cut scream meme
Dude, I respect the hell out of you. Putting in the time and effort for this kind of content is super admirable. Props to you, dude.
Thank you so much for this video! Not only was it entertaining as hell but it was a perfect guide for me. I am currently doing a Dark Souls Marathon SL1 and your videos have given me the perfect guide on how to get through it. I dont think I would have survived DS2 if it weren't for this video.
This is one of the best constructed guides I've ever seen. Bravo my man, bravo!
This video is definitely the most fun I've ever had with Dark Souls 2. Awesome editing!
Gotta say I just finished a sl1 run on this game today, it was torture but your amazing guide got me through it thanks so much for these great videos.
Ymfah: Should be easy enough *Ivory King enters the match And I *SAY*
That part where you noticed the boss is left handed is actually pretty important to any form of fighting. Generally it's better to be circling away from your opponents power hand/weapon
This is so awesome! Came to watch this video bc I was having difficult time with some bosses and my SL1. Peasant set!!!!! omg, I completely missed that. Witty, humorous, a ton of references and of editing. Well done ymfah, I really enjoyed it and will use it for the rest of my run. Cheers!!
Blessed and possessed fuck yea bro
Thank you! I was on a SL 1 Run in DS2 and had problems with the DLC Bosses, this video helped me.
Doubt you're still there but you can Freeze the Ivory king inside one of the gates for an instant kill.
@@halvarianknight4477 Sadly, you can't do that anymore. It's patched in SotFS, idk about the vanilla tho
This has to be the greatest thing you've ever done It's just amazing
I watched this entire thing not knowing it was an hour long. This shows how much I fucking love this guys videos.
Normally never see such great editing on a video this long consistently throughout. Really nice job man
Fencer Sharron vs Saitama who wins? Dumb question, of course Sharron wins.
Desphinx A dumber statement obviously shaggy wins
Fucking Sharron killed the kids
She would be the final boss in One Punch Man lol, the S class heroes are nothing but an atom compared to her.
Erdogan wins
Sharron is scary but honestly Armorer Dennis Prager is even scarier with his magic
wow i really saw this 1hour video... You are freaking awesome dude!
Fantastic job with this vid mate. Informative and funny, hits all the right notes. Very impressed!
I think this was the first video of yours that I saw. I thought I was in for a boring guide until I heard that intro! Been a fan ever since. And thank you for reintroducing me to Powerwolf! Because of you, I went out and got their albums for myself!
now that is a lot of work in a video. Nice Job man, you got another subscriber
I like how attacks, rolls and other action fit in perfectly with the music.
I just completed my first ever soul level 1 run on the souls series and the guide was both fun to watch and follow.
Came here to study and understand what i need when i start my run. Thought it would be a serious video and tutorial was very very wrong but loved every second of it and learn so much XD Keep up the amazing work.
"Things you kill: Robbie Rotten" d00d
Finally managed to get all the op weapon and rings thanks to this guide. Now I can finally play the game
This videos just keep getting better and better. You're the best
Been playing over my xmas break and damn it has made this video so entertaining, well edited m8
This guide made my day. Thanks
Wow. Was not expecting the “Our God is an Awesome God” rendition.
Great entertaining vid my dude, can't believe I watched it all, didn't seem like an hour.
the editing is making this 200% even better, good job
16:29 that MC sounds lol
Mano ,tu é foda dms , eu amo seus vídeos ,já vi esse sl1 umas 500 vezes
My God, that was a journey. Congratulations! Awesome run and editing BTW :)
i finshed dark souls 2 with your guide, thank you on this amazing guide.
Commit t a c t i c a l s u i c i d e
Me: Comes to see some Ymfah videos Ymfah video beginning: *Powerwolf noises* Me: Ah, A man of culture I see
Became my favorite band since hearing it in his openings. That's how powerful his vids be.
I just did it, feel proud Thanks for the guide ymfah!
Bravo sir. What an entertaining trip down memory lane. Like most peeps I didn't expect to be fully engrossed for 55 minutes, but here we are.
Thanks for giving me a heart attack at 50:12
As a jazz muso, the music, and in an amazing dark souls video, why this is fantastic, is there more.
I swear I absolutely love these vids I can't tell you how many times I've watched em over and over again XD it's the best ^^
Hey man, you helped me beat ds2. your tips r awesome and helped me a lot.
The best Dark Souls content on KZhead!
Ayy its zero Lenny !
Almost finished my dark souls 3 sl1, but now i know how i will spend second part of my holidays) Thank you, man...
I love how you post long videos and edit them all through keep up the good work man!
Currently midway wish me luck At the sanctum area Made it to drandelic I'll play later It's a fresh day time for more pain and suffering Currently in bullshit central the frozen hell Round 2 of the sanctum time to fist elena That stupid dragon had 1 HEALTH and killed me After much mental damage I've killed sinh The fume knight refuses to die oh well try number like 21 Ok so I just killed aava time for the ivory king I did it I beat the challenge the ivory king can gargle my nuts *WOOOOOOOHOOOO*
Great job man
I applaud your persistence dear sir...
@@rianrichardson4297 thank you :)
“Gargle my Nuts” XD
3 months in the making
Now that is some dank content right there !
That's some quality content. Here, have my upvote !
Man, I’ve been watching you for a few years and I gotta say, you’re a GIANT in your niche! Most entertaining vid so far is the Bloodborne Heisenberg run xd
3:03 I got an ad after the "Nani?"
Now do SL 1 No bonfire no death, *casul* ^_^
he already has accualy on stream if i remember correcty
link pls ^_^
well im no expert on finding links but i believe its saved on his twitch channel so search there i would help you out but im in the middle of leaving so sorry
Where to find his twitch FeelsBadMan
PoFFicK To call him a "casul" don't you have the do what you said for the right to make that statement or is it simply a one way street.
This was really well done, awesome job!
Thanks for this great video, got a bit stuck on Ivory King because I didnt enjoy the gauntlet leading up to him but he was surprisingly easy once I just put in the effort Fun guide!
9:01 rest in peace in peace
After you unlock pharros mask, you can inf brightbug in every location due to its passive *wet* effect.
Cool run and thanks for posting the music track names! I especially like the death-takes, really shows that yeah, you're gonna be dying.
Reaaaally a great quality video ! I first started watching it thinking it was years ago, then saw the "2018-2018" for the mob you killed and realised, people are still doing GREAT things on Dark Souls 2 SotFS, I'm not the only one still playing like the game was just released yesterday ! :P Be sure I'll have a SL1 Character too hahaha Thanks for the videos, and keep your huge and great work up, really enjoyed watching it ;-)
23:50 NICE. FREDDY KRUEGER
The fact that you cut the opening music before the "blessed and possessed" part should be a criminal offense
Man,your vids are so fun to watch,congrats
This was what guided me on my first ever dark souls experience ymfah went pretty rough on me but thx to that and ymfah I’m a god now at ds2
This is extremely impressive especially since DS2 has arguably some of the hardest bosses in the series, great work!
Not really
I would say BB has hardest dlc bosses ever made. Next would be DS1. SL1 in those ones were so hard.
Not really lmao. Just obnoxious hitboxes, large damage and and larger health.
100% not the hardest bosses lmao The only hard ones are in DLC and optional ones which he didn't bother killing
Eh, I’d say Nameless Bullshit from DS3 is harder than Raime or Alonne or even Ivory King. His timings are such straight trash, and the devs thought that just because the stamina cost for rolling is nonexistent now, that he can just constantly attack with no room to breathe and it’ll be fine. The funny part is that nearly every other boss in DS3 (outside of the DLCs which I haven’t played) is a joke.
6:04 that sentence . Make me good
love your videos so much, got me through DS1 SL1 and DS3 SL1. This is my favorite video though because you actually had to beat a bunch of difficult bosses without cheese hahaha.
the first actual dark souls 2 video I ever watched..and 100 percent the best
16:49 is that dunkeys clip saying of course the plunging attack altered
**sigh** Just when I thought I knew all the best ways to beat Dark Souls II..
This video got me into Powerwolf. Thanks YMFAH
Holy hell, that was an epic. Great work.
+rep for the Ace Combat musik
All this, the editing, the actual gameplay, the failures and the sweet reward of victory just for SOMEONE ELSE TO CLAIM THE MONEY. I do not envy you.
Just wanted to say thanks for introducing me to the awesomeness that is POWERWOLF.
fun video, awesome editing, great music! thanks!!
