Was this video the origin of the "when's the miracles-only video?" meme?
Introverts be like: "Look what they need to mimic a fraction of our power"
You meant
Introverts be like :
Did someone say mimic?
Lmao
I like how that quote is from one of the most extroverted characters in Invincible.
More like “L-look at w-what they need to mimic... a fract...ion.... sorry I’ll shut up now.”
"i'm shy to talk, that why i killed every NPC i've met."
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

you actually pulled off the gwyn run you madman
yep. just came back for that part of vid lol. he actually skipped big portion of the game in gwyn run. but that run was wild.
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.
You don't beat challenge runs, you show the rest of us we've been playing on easy mode.

Is this video a rinsing machine?
@@davidhensley3079 it’s a filling machine I’m pretty sure
Maybe the real lone noobs were the deaths we made along the way
Your name is DUMMY, and if you knew anything about anything, you'd notice there's an Early Bird Special EVERY... SINGLE... DAY OF THE WEEK!!!
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
"rip gwyn run" proceeds to do it anyway.
A shame that youtube deleted so much music
Pretty sad tbh 😭
From what i remember, the muted song in the beginning 1:31 - was "God's Message" ruclips.net/video/0w3JZ5ppWsA/видео.htmlsi=xhYTFdywaARqTOan
Starting from 0:16 from that song... It was such a neat moment
*Before every video* “No fucking way”
*after every video* “I should never have doubted you”
Never doubt the true lord of challenge runs lest he challenge run your mom- Spiderman I think (never read the comics)
@@Pebbeyt He already challenge ran someone's mom
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.

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.

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.
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
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
My man brought out "my innermost apocalypse", the man got taste
I like how it’s written like instructions like any of us are gonna try this shit
I have rewatched this video multiple times since release, it is a masterpiece
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.

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.

Hey Ymfah, I just wanted to say that I truly enjoy your videos. I appreciate how much time and effort you put into making and completing these challenges. Seeing your videos pop up in my feed always makes my day.
The Evangelion Background, OSTs and sounds are on point
I totally agree, I was actually surprised.
Ymfah: "I needed to turn human again so I used the domestic violence strat"
"Uh excuse me?"
Humans are not innocents.
>beats down a crippled blind old woman who doesn't fight back

I really appreciate how, in the end credits, you can see that you actually made it to the DLC key area with the parry pit bug. And yet, in the video, you decided to show us some other ways of defeating the problem instead. The effort you go to is wonderful, and your musical editing is always on point.
This is legitimately the most beautiful video I've seen on youtube, I keep coming back to it. Excellent work my friend, and don't you dare go hollow.

In order to leave a covenant you need to abandon it via Shalquoir the cat or by joining another covenant (technically it's never referred to as "leaving" in game, it's always "abandoning").
