PSA: As of the 1.03 patch, the Sword of Night and Flame has been nerfed. It is still good damage and still perfectly viable, but it won’t be as powerful as the video shows.
dude tbh with you, there are so many OP weapon in this game, i've tried it, it's absolutely cracked, and i don't really know because this is an open world game, am i just already overleved or the weapon is just so op
I'll never get over the fact that not even five minutes from character creation you can go to The Brazil Chest and just go to a super late game area for free. It's so stupid, but I love it.
When killing the dragon another option is to get the Gold-Pickled Fowl Foot ( one can be found early on south of The First Step grace ) for a 30% boost to the initial 50,000 Runes you get from killing the dragon. It only last 3 minutes so you shouldn't use it till your about to start the final bleeding proc.
But I wouldn´t kill him since he gives you a quest later on. The best way to farm that runes is to get 40k free from the black horse rider (doesn´t know his name). You just need to run up a cliff with poison traps and he dies from allone. The rest you can get from farming a ball falling down a cliff. Each time grants you 2k ish. They are both in the same area as the Dragon is.
@@TrippedOvr no quest. His HP is tied to the other dragons. You are supposed to kill those then kill the big one woth 1hp. Wiki etc dont list quests - he will attack you at some point though In fact - killing it gives more spells of the dragonclan to unlock.
Man can't wait for more of your elden ring contents, your creativity with games is just so entertaining to watch, I believe your Elden ring content going to be legendary.
Not just elden ring, bro. This man creates top quality content. That kind of content that does not need a voiceover since the music, camera angles, camera transtitions, music and music transitions, memes and gameplay make up for it and is even better this way.
What’s amazing about this game is that they expected players to do this, and so they just straight up let you go wherever you want “if you don’t die a million times and rage quit you can have whatever you want from this area.” Is probably what micheal zaki said during development
I'd argue in this case, it's literally somewhat intentional. You don't even have to leave limgrave to get overpowered. Just the bloody slash weapon art and a +2 lordsworn's straight sword got me all the way through Liurnia
I would add to put on a gold-pickled fowl foot item before you kill the dragon for 30% extra runes. There's one to be picked up at the end of the beach right next to the beginning of the game.
@@dawsonwheeler1849 I think I figured it out, the dragons that it enrages are tied to it, and I'm assuming the amount you get is hers and the ones closest to you, I gained 80k one time and less another like 60k,
If you use a golden pickled fowl foot just after the the dragons health reaches 0 you get 97k runes. You can find one on the coast near the Stranded graveyard location near a waterfall.
another small tip, there's a golden chicken leg on the beach straight left to the beginning of the game, that can up the souls you get from the dragon to ~97k
Yea when I saw this, I knew of that location and went there! Hit that leg up and just had so much runes to do more after and now I am literally having a 'blast' in this game now! Barely took me like an hour to get it and start dominating! Thanks @ymfah !!!
Just adding something: you can use that item that increases runes gains for a limited amount of time right before you kill the sleeping dragon with bleeding and be even more OP.
You know one of the things I said to myself when I started playing was : " Damn cant wait for all the Ymfah content that will be brought to us by this game"
@@jnoinm Randomly, you’ll see golden leaves falling from the sky. That’s the Erdtree leaves event which increases the amount of runes you get from defeating enemies
There are also ashes that have combos. For example if you R2 after L2 with Flaming Strike you will perform an additional flaming attack that also buffs the weapon with fire. And there are others that need you to hold the L2 to do continuous hits (eg Wild Arms) or to press it continuously for rapid fire (eg Storm Blade).
Bruh at 2:40 he mixes the Flintstones theme in the style of Donkey Kong, right into the Amogus jingle in a Hades soundfont. These edits are too powerful.
Fun fact: you can technically reach one of the final areas of the game before beating a single boss, just by vibing your way through everything. Can recommend for the fun of getting oneshotted by a literal crab.
I did it on my first playthrough. it's honestly kind of a trip. level 1 wretched and I opened all the map in the game. (Obviously not the underground) but the moment you do that you get ridiculously OP too. since I got a lot of Godly weapons in the end game area lol. like the Cipher hahaha most importantly there are mobs in the end game that aren't doing anything and just literally standing there and drops a lot of runes too. and sometimes some random mobs having a fight and just passing by them gives you runes. I started to go back to stormhill after I'm level 55 with + 16 weapon lol
Oh I did that accidentally. I opened a chest and it sent me to some bridge with one of the big lava men but there was no way I could find to go anywhere so I left
@@Pundae I still much prefer area scaling to level scaling for enemy difficulty, personally; it always takes me out of it when I go back to the starting area in an open-world game and somehow the tutorial enemies are still able to deal massive damage to my Lv. 100 character in god-tier armor, lol
@@UgyBoogie But you can supply yourself with a huge amount and wide variety, some that scale pretty darn well with stats to do the same damage as a swing from a dagger/shortsword. So long as you play rock, paper, scissors against enemy weaknesses, use buffing items for yourself, and invest you stats into making your items hit harder, then it should actually be pretty easy. Even without counting arrows as "crafted items", since you would technically be using the un-crafted bow to shoot them.
@@UgyBoogie I think you can wait, because while I'm smart enough to realize that it can be done after watching people do easy consumable only runs in DS3 where you can't even craft more in-between fights, I'm too lazy to put in dozens of hours of work on proving you wrong.
About the part where you kill that big-ass dragon, you can have even more souls by using a gold-pickeled fowl foot, and you can find one in the first area of the game, on the beach near the waterfall
As of 23:13 of March 13, this still works. I was getting discouraged by people saying this was not working, but I hammered away, I finally dual gripped the weapon, you have to do that (triangle + L1/R1) to hold it in a 2H stance, after about 25 hits your bleed will kick in. Make sure it's held in a 2H fashion for this to work.
@@sidekickht weapon is not most effective at your lower strength, so you have to dual grip it, which is required anyways to activate it's special skills.
Anyone else remember the gold trimmed robes early in DS1? They had absurdly high defense for it's weight before it got nerfed. This sword will probably be nerfed into the ground in the same way.
Or probably it won't be accessible so early. Maybe they'll put a fight against something really strong that you can't skip. But I think they had this in mind they opened almost the entire map the moment you set foot in Limgrave. You just have to be good at avoiding doing stuff while going forward.
Honestly, they should do that. Not make it unusable of course, but the damage this thing can dish out right now is absolutely insane. To the point where I don't want to use it because it trivializes the entire game. Which is a shame because both of its skills are just so much fun :(
3:40 Before the dragon, head to the shoreline left at the start past Kale to the other merchant and go down to the beach. Keep following the wall until you reach a merchant, and then keep going some more and you'll get a pickled foot drop for more souls gained from the dragon. Should be about 96k instead of 70k. *Alternatively*, Patches sells them too
My mans did it again, this was insanely helpful, I love how you’re able to show so many things people easily miss while not only being wildly entertaining. Top tier content
For the record, anyone can follow this guide very easily, especially since in this guide you don't have to defeat any bosses. That sword is awesome as much as it's overpowered
Fun fact about killing Greyoll for the massive number of runes, you can use torrent to run back to the site of grace near her tail, and if you do it fast enough, her death animation doesn’t finish. The result of this is that you get all the runes from killing her but she’s still alive. And you can repeat this indefinitely.
bro I literally followed the build for my first run and it's been super fun. The sword basically almost into late game absolutely carries with the WA's but it's balanced as you'll have very short windows to actually do them against better bosses. Can't wait for the next vid
Always wanted to follow one of your crazy guides, and finally did it (Cause this one was recent, relevant easy). Thanks for the great guide, this build is stupidly fun xD
I didn’t get the sword till after 1.3 patch was out. Watching how much damage it did to the tree sentinel makes me wish I could go back in time. Thanks for the videos mate
First boss skip that doesn’t involve bending the laws of in-game space, time, and physics that I’ve seen in one of your videos! Love this game’s versatility.
Hell, I discovered that one myself beforehand just by poking around. For once, these videos reflected things I already knew about. The only thing I missed was the sword, and now I know how to get it. >:)
For even more levels at the beginning that's also in dragonbarrow there is a small bridge that spawns a boss at night. Lure it up the hill with the poisonous plants and eventually it will teleport back to its spawn which will also kill it instantly. Getting you an extra 42k souls that's even faster then slowly killing the great dragon.
Wow i really underestimated this weapon. Saw it on the wiki but couldn't be bothered to get it because of the 3 way split damage and I've larnt my lesson from the dancers twin blades. Will have to go give this weapon a shot with a dual faith/int build and see how it plays out. Will be fun to have such a mix of spells to use.
Yeah I got it early as possible didn't even do the castle. 😂 I'm destroying stuff RN lol the beam is broken and the flame one shots a lot of moms (mobs) and groups
Hey guys, you can farm the smithing stones in the manor from the hand mobs. They are weak to fire, the R2 or RT you get from the item can 1-2 shot them
Got this sword early, and omg such amazing weapon, I've was suffering for not have a faith weapon early on , and when I got this I was " finally a good sword " now I have moonlight and this and omg this sword is much better than moonlight Also Overdrive
Another way to Greyoll's Dragonbarrow is the warp gate by Marika's Third Church to the Bestial Sanctum. You can get the Flask of Wonderous Physick while you're there. You'll have to make a detour to the Swamp of Aeonia to grab the +5 shard, but it means you don't have to suffer through escaping Sellia Crystal Tunnel.
@@ymfah Haven't you already done some lore stuff in the "beginners guide to dark souls" video? The "Iron Tarkus actually got thrown over the wall by the Iron Golem" reveal was pretty insane
I found that weapon and saw 3 way split damage and thought “it won’t be worth it” so i’ve never used it. Then i found out it’s busted. Of course i started with a strength faith build only to find out dex magic is the way to go….
STR/Faith is strong af what are you on about. Beast Incantations, STR Ashes, staggering, hyper armor, insta-stance breaking shield counters. If you haven't seen the Dragon Communion stuff you're in for a treat.
@@KnightAarant i have a lot of the good stuff, but here’s the thing. I kinda forgot to level my HP. My Vigor is at 20. Then i have 2 items on me that increase the amount of damage i take. The fact i still managed to pull of 2 3 man gank spanks in PvP when i’m one shot by most things is amazing to me XD
the amount of time it took me to figure out how to use both of the special skills on PC... I figured it out eventually :D great guide btw... I always watch these videos but I never tried any of the builds. glad to see that it works :D
There's a Gold Pickle right behind the first shrine in Limgrave, if you jump onto the spiritspring with Torrent down onto the beach. This can bump the runes from the dragon kill to just shy of 100k. There's also a Gold Rune[12] in Fort Faroth you can run past bats to get that will push you over that amount
I’m a happy customer knowing that Ymfah can break yet another fabulous game for us viewers! And as usual, #IntroGang, your intros always hype me up! Keep up the great work!
If you want to add so extra range into being extra OP go and grab the meteorite staff with rock sling in the ruins west of Caelid. Beat the game already with rock sling lol it’s op
That's great, I'm running the same build. By the way, if you've already finished the game, could you tell me how far I am to the game if I am at the mountaintop of giants? I've just begun the area but have beaten 4 demi gods (Godrick, Rennala, Radahn and Morgott). I would love to know.
The game in General is HORRIBLY balanced, especially full bleed builds Melt anything that can bleed. And PvP is Just oneshot faster than they do and you're fine
@@dddddxddxxx1138 Double uchigatana With seppuku Ashe of war, absolutely busted against almost anything (bloody Slash works too but doesnt let you increase your blood buildup) With Dragoncrest greatshield Talisman, Bull-goat's Talisman, old Lords Talisman and Lord of bloods exultation Talisman (increases your strength If a blood Loss Happens nearby) you Dont need to do Double seppuku (left weapon First, then right Hand weapon) for smaller enemies but is recommendable against any bigger enemy. Works great in Multiplayer too since its max health % damage damage
In order to use skill 2 on the keyboard, you need to set the key in the settings to the action of a normal strike, and press it instead of an enhanced attack
@@papasuharik220 я убрала сильную атаку с шифт клика на контр клик и у меня все заработало. В общем как это работает. Чтобы войти в навык нужно прожать шифт клик, и когда мы кликаем и активируем его, то у нас идет огненная волная потому что это стронг атака навыка, а нам нужна нормал атака, которая не юзается из за шифта просто перебинди сильную атаку
@@temporaldeicide9558 Put an additional button on a normal strike, and during the casting of a skill, instead of an enhanced attack, press the button that you set
To break the game even further, you can upgrade it to +9 by farming somber stones 6 & 7 at Volcano Manor via deathtrap at Raya Academy, and 8 & 9 at Caelid! 😁
Lmao I love how “godrick skip” is presented as some kind of secret technique when it’s just the way I and everyone I know naturally ended up going while exploring the map
a tip for people when they have the spectral steed ring you should assign it to the pouch along with ashes you will thank me later also in the first hero grave you can get a catalist that boosts dragon incantations its extremely good with greyoll's roar and ekzyke's decay fundamentalist incantations are also a good synergy for the sword of night and flame since it has both intelligence and faith requirements
As someone who's close to nearly beating the entire game with this and a Magic Lordsworn Straight Sword, I have to say that this weapon was a hilarious gamble for me. I saw a video on how to get it out of curiosity, and since my build at the time sucked, I decided to respec early and try this out to see if it was any fun. Turns out, it was 100% worth it.
With those stat requirements I knew this sword had to be pretty strong so I started leveling faith and int. However I could've never guessed these levels of destructive power... damn. I can't wait to see all the stuff you can come up with in this game man
It actually isn't that strong and it barely scales off it. The Icerind Hatchet is better, because Hoarfrost Stomp is nearly identical in size, but takes less FP, faster cast animation, has high poise break twice per cast and only requires 11 dex and 16 str and deals the same damage. It also scales off the enemy due to the frostbite proc, meaning every second cast you're doing %hp damage. I was hitting the dragon with the highest HP in the game for 13k damage on each proc. You can also get it a lot earlier and faster in the game for speedruns. On top of it, for 48 points you can just go for a sorcery build and use comet to oneshot nearly everything anyway.
*R.I.P.* *Sword of Nerf and Flame* February 25th 2022 - March 17th 2022 _Death by 1.03 patch._ Yes, this is a joke, the sword is still useful and the nerf was to be expected.
You don’t need to go all the way down to weeping peninsula to get the morning star for the dragon, there’s a flail right next to the front gate grace inside the cart chest that does bleed damage
Flail takes 18 dex which astrologer doesn't have. To be fair though there's a lot of problems with this run guide, directly behind the dragon in the fort is a rune (12) that could easily get you the 6 levels for using the flail. Also night and flame stance is far inferior to Hoarfrost Stomp which you can get on an axe that is much closer to get to than the sword of night and flame.
You're not missing much by not watching this one. It is a short and very procedure-focused guide on how to skip to a late-game OP weapon. Only a few jokes here and there. To someone who's never seen Elden Ring, the things spoiled were a brief npc cutscene, the visuals of the starting areas, the visuals of the late-game area, the way to use the weapon, some enemies and bosses, and the names and locations of places and loot encountered along the way. Skip to 5:40 for just the weapon showcase vs some normal and boss enemies.
Wondering what the fewest number of “story” bosses are required to get a +10/+25 weapon. Will be interesting to find out once we have documented where every item, cave, and teleport is and where they go. If there ever is a speedrun of the game I wouldn’t be surprised if that sets the route for a while.
You can actually get to the Roundtable before Margit (by resting at a Grace point after being teleported to Caelid through the transporter trap). So, logically speaking, given that you know where to find the required Smithing Stones, you can get your weapon to +10/+25 before *ANY* main story bosses... PS: Oh, I forgot to mention that the Grace Point must be outside of the Selia Crystal Tunnel. There's an easy one right if you turn left after exiting the Selia Crystal Tunnel.
For sure you need to kill godfey, the last king and the commander boss. Use the secret medallion at lift to get the ancient upgrade items. Unless you tele to the lord of blood area for a somber dragon stone.
As someone who's enjoying the challenge for a newbie souls player but kind of just wants to win and deal with getting gud later since I got a backlog, this is incredible. Had to start over a few times because I'd get stuck in a cave miles away without even having gotten Torrent, lol.
The other way to break this game early is to get a deathroot, speak to D and go to dragonbarrow. There's relatively easy enemies there with 1k rune drops early enough that that'd almost be a level each, and if you explore a bit in Dragonbarrow you can find Greyoll, who'll drop 80k runes and 5 dragon hearts without putting up any fight at all. Once that go to caelid and find the dragon communion cathedral to find rot breath, which is broken in most boss fights. You can then fight Greyll in Dragonbarrow (proc scarlet rot 2 times and run around till he dies) for another 80k runes. There you go, 20-30 levels for little effort, and the best dragon spell in the game bar maybe some late game ones (I've just unlocked the snow area, if people who've played know what I mean) but i have over 80 hours in the game and that's what I've seen being insane. Sword of Night and Flame is going to get patched anyways so diversify your portfolio lads
Does using Dragon Communion have any consequences that we know of for our character? The guy you can talk speaks of it like it would give us some all-consuming hunger for power or something, so I'm not sure whether to use my dragon hearts or not.
don't even need to go to D or get the deathroot if you don't want to, the waygate is just north of third church of marika, head there for the flask first anyway and off you go

I started to go back to stormhill after I'm level 55 with + 16 weapon lol
Oh I did that accidentally. I opened a chest and it sent me to some bridge with one of the big lava men but there was no way I could find to go anywhere so I left
That's what's busted about progression in an open world game that scales by area and not level
@@Pundae I still much prefer area scaling to level scaling for enemy difficulty, personally; it always takes me out of it when I go back to the starting area in an open-world game and somehow the tutorial enemies are still able to deal massive damage to my Lv. 100 character in god-tier armor, lol
I actually managed to do this it just took me 3 hours but overall it was worth it
Correction: You have the L2+Rs backwards. R1 does night and R2 does flame
I really want to see a consumables only run in this game using the crafting and cracked pot items. I think that could be cool.
I bet there will come a run with no heal items at all
Will be hard since you can't craft more in combat
@@UgyBoogie But you can supply yourself with a huge amount and wide variety, some that scale pretty darn well with stats to do the same damage as a swing from a dagger/shortsword. So long as you play rock, paper, scissors against enemy weaknesses, use buffing items for yourself, and invest you stats into making your items hit harder, then it should actually be pretty easy.
Even without counting arrows as "crafted items", since you would technically be using the un-crafted bow to shoot them.
@@edisontrent618 Welp, can't wait for your "very easy" consumables-only videos of the whole game!
@@UgyBoogie I think you can wait, because while I'm smart enough to realize that it can be done after watching people do easy consumable only runs in DS3 where you can't even craft more in-between fights, I'm too lazy to put in dozens of hours of work on proving you wrong.
About the part where you kill that big-ass dragon, you can have even more souls by using a gold-pickeled fowl foot, and you can find one in the first area of the game, on the beach near the waterfall
You don’t get the quest if you cheese the dragon tho
@@juicydoubles1144 What is the quest?
@@juicydoubles1144 is it important?

As of 23:13 of March 13, this still works.
I was getting discouraged by people saying this was not working, but I hammered away, I finally dual gripped the weapon, you have to do that (triangle + L1/R1) to hold it in a 2H stance, after about 25 hits your bleed will kick in. Make sure it's held in a 2H fashion for this to work.
That did it for me! Thnx
How are u even able to equip it with 8 strength?
Same just did it 3/15
@@sidekickht weapon is not most effective at your lower strength, so you have to dual grip it, which is required anyways to activate it's special skills.
I did it single handed but it took longer to get the bleed damage
Anyone else remember the gold trimmed robes early in DS1? They had absurdly high defense for it's weight before it got nerfed. This sword will probably be nerfed into the ground in the same way.
Or probably it won't be accessible so early. Maybe they'll put a fight against something really strong that you can't skip.
But I think they had this in mind they opened almost the entire map the moment you set foot in Limgrave. You just have to be good at avoiding doing stuff while going forward.
What baffles me most is that a legendary weapon like this is just chilling in a chest inside an unguarded room
@@Axemania21 inside of spooky cursed ruins that the average person fears entering, but yeah
@@Axemania21 They really should swap the sword and Loretta's Greatbow's positions, I think.
Honestly, they should do that. Not make it unusable of course, but the damage this thing can dish out right now is absolutely insane. To the point where I don't want to use it because it trivializes the entire game. Which is a shame because both of its skills are just so much fun :(
Its always a good day when ymfah drops a new video
Nice video, I had actually been planning out this exact route after finding the sword in caria manor. Nice to know it's totally worth it.
3:40 Before the dragon, head to the shoreline left at the start past Kale to the other merchant and go down to the beach. Keep following the wall until you reach a merchant, and then keep going some more and you'll get a pickled foot drop for more souls gained from the dragon. Should be about 96k instead of 70k.
*Alternatively*, Patches sells them too
@Thales Assis Any source of bleed will work, if you wanted to could get the bloody slash ash of war and it'll work on most weapons.
Pro Tip There is a wind thingie behind the first step grace and you can jump off with torrent for faster access to the fowl foot

My mans did it again, this was insanely helpful, I love how you’re able to show so many things people easily miss while not only being wildly entertaining. Top tier content
Rip night and flame stance
You were too beautiful for this world
I was just thinking “ymfah hasn’t posted in awhile, he’s probably getting ready for Elden Ring.” Sure enough you drop one, great run as always
For the record, anyone can follow this guide very easily, especially since in this guide you don't have to defeat any bosses. That sword is awesome as much as it's overpowered
Yeah this and the sss+9 guide location vids help, really make it shine even more. Now can start the actual game lmfao 🤣
Yeah, but you're also getting rid of all the fun. It's better to do it on second playthrough
Do you have to be astrologer?
I can't bc idk where to go once I reach the lake, I don't have the map unlocked so idk
Is the moonveil weapon better? I haven’t played the game yet but I keep seeing that name pop up
Fun fact about killing Greyoll for the massive number of runes, you can use torrent to run back to the site of grace near her tail, and if you do it fast enough, her death animation doesn’t finish. The result of this is that you get all the runes from killing her but she’s still alive.
And you can repeat this indefinitely.
When the world needed him most… he actually showed up holy shit this is gonna save my life
Get used to this and late bosses are going to bring pain.
Margit: "thou art of passing skill, tarnished."
ymfah: [sips cerulean flask] "uh huh, skill."
bro I literally followed the build for my first run and it's been super fun. The sword basically almost into late game absolutely carries with the WA's but it's balanced as you'll have very short windows to actually do them against better bosses. Can't wait for the next vid
The consumables only, bow only runs will be much more fun in EldenRing
“It’s called gate front because it’s in front of a gate”

lol
I didn’t get the sword till after 1.3 patch was out. Watching how much damage it did to the tree sentinel makes me wish I could go back in time. Thanks for the videos mate
First boss skip that doesn’t involve bending the laws of in-game space, time, and physics that I’ve seen in one of your videos! Love this game’s versatility.
I think we will see a "+25 weapon 0 bosses killed" very easily at this rate
Hell, I discovered that one myself beforehand just by poking around. For once, these videos reflected things I already knew about. The only thing I missed was the sword, and now I know how to get it. >:)
For even more levels at the beginning that's also in dragonbarrow there is a small bridge that spawns a boss at night. Lure it up the hill with the poisonous plants and eventually it will teleport back to its spawn which will also kill it instantly. Getting you an extra 42k souls that's even faster then slowly killing the great dragon.
i believe thats been patched

Wow i really underestimated this weapon. Saw it on the wiki but couldn't be bothered to get it because of the 3 way split damage and I've larnt my lesson from the dancers twin blades. Will have to go give this weapon a shot with a dual faith/int build and see how it plays out. Will be fun to have such a mix of spells to use.

Hey guys, you can farm the smithing stones in the manor from the hand mobs. They are weak to fire, the R2 or RT you get from the item can 1-2 shot them

@@lazystudentprojects They only seem to drop tier 2 stones from my own experience. Lots of them though, I had over 70 when I quit.

Man I cannot wait for all the content to come! Keep it up man!
1:07 I’m so happy other people think of that. I legitimately kept seeing “touch grass” instead of touch grace for like the first 10 hours of the game.
0:37 nice Evangelion title reference.
Got this sword early, and omg such amazing weapon, I've was suffering for not have a faith weapon early on , and when I got this I was " finally a good sword " now I have moonlight and this and omg this sword is much better than moonlight
Also Overdrive
Another faith weapon you can get early is by killing the invader npc at the round table.
It's pretty easy with the uchigatana and unsheath skill
The winged scythe is also pretty good
There are early game faith scaling ashes of war, you can make any early weapon a faith weapon that way.
@@Shirotsune-Tomuro For the Curious its a fist type weapon with a 30 fth requirement, that goes through shields.
@@Shirotsune-Tomuro you don't have to kill the npc, just go down where you get invaded and go through the doorway.
Wooooooooo was waiting for this :D no one goes as hard as ymfah
I'm super excited to see all the ymfah content in the future
Another way to Greyoll's Dragonbarrow is the warp gate by Marika's Third Church to the Bestial Sanctum. You can get the Flask of Wonderous Physick while you're there. You'll have to make a detour to the Swamp of Aeonia to grab the +5 shard, but it means you don't have to suffer through escaping Sellia Crystal Tunnel.
Man I'm literally uploading like exactly the same video right now cmon
I guess you were overpowered...earlier..
you have enough fame already, leave some content for the community ;)
Poor Vaati! I guess ymfah will remain the OP build guy, you'll be the loremaster :D
Sniped lmao
Thats it I'm doing lore videos
@@ymfah Haven't you already done some lore stuff in the "beginners guide to dark souls" video? The "Iron Tarkus actually got thrown over the wall by the Iron Golem" reveal was pretty insane
I found that weapon and saw 3 way split damage and thought “it won’t be worth it” so i’ve never used it.
Then i found out it’s busted. Of course i started with a strength faith build only to find out dex magic is the way to go….
I also did the same thought, but after seeing the video I immediately boosted it to the speed of light! LoL.
Trust when I say strength faith/ dex faith is even better when you enter the late game
STR/Faith is strong af what are you on about. Beast Incantations, STR Ashes, staggering, hyper armor, insta-stance breaking shield counters. If you haven't seen the Dragon Communion stuff you're in for a treat.
@@KnightAarant i have a lot of the good stuff, but here’s the thing. I kinda forgot to level my HP. My Vigor is at 20. Then i have 2 items on me that increase the amount of damage i take.

@@losersbecomewinners2043 heck of a back door brag you tried to sneak in there
While I might not go for the immediate broken way, you showed how cool the sword is!
When you're going to the manor, you should take the portal half way, it takes you in front of the ruins
the amount of time it took me to figure out how to use both of the special skills on PC...
I figured it out eventually :D
great guide btw... I always watch these videos but I never tried any of the builds. glad to see that it works :D
How do you use the night form
It always amazes me how you find this stuff out so quickly. Hats off to you Sir, you are the true Elden Lord 💪😎
I'm not watching the video cuz I plan on playing the game eventually but you are so coated for all your hard work, man.
There's a Gold Pickle right behind the first shrine in Limgrave, if you jump onto the spiritspring with Torrent down onto the beach. This can bump the runes from the dragon kill to just shy of 100k. There's also a Gold Rune[12] in Fort Faroth you can run past bats to get that will push you over that amount
I’m a happy customer knowing that Ymfah can break yet another fabulous game for us viewers!
And as usual, #IntroGang, your intros always hype me up! Keep up the great work!
If you want to add so extra range into being extra OP go and grab the meteorite staff with rock sling in the ruins west of Caelid. Beat the game already with rock sling lol it’s op
That's great, I'm running the same build. By the way, if you've already finished the game, could you tell me how far I am to the game if I am at the mountaintop of giants? I've just begun the area but have beaten 4 demi gods (Godrick, Rennala, Radahn and Morgott). I would love to know.

To break the game even further, you can upgrade it to +9 by farming somber stones 6 & 7 at Volcano Manor via deathtrap at Raya Academy, and 8 & 9 at Caelid! 😁
Lmao I love how “godrick skip” is presented as some kind of secret technique when it’s just the way I and everyone I know naturally ended up going while exploring the map
Its Not even hidden
a tip for people when they have the spectral steed ring you should assign it to the pouch along with ashes you will thank me later
also in the first hero grave you can get a catalist that boosts dragon incantations its extremely good with greyoll's roar and ekzyke's decay
fundamentalist incantations are also a good synergy for the sword of night and flame since it has both intelligence and faith requirements
bold to assume ppl will thank you for having common sense

This is the one ymfah guide video i actually managed to follow and do in my own game
I have finally beat elden ring, and now I can watch these without worrying about spoilers
Same!
As someone who's close to nearly beating the entire game with this and a Magic Lordsworn Straight Sword, I have to say that this weapon was a hilarious gamble for me. I saw a video on how to get it out of curiosity, and since my build at the time sucked, I decided to respec early and try this out to see if it was any fun. Turns out, it was 100% worth it.
2:56 hahahah the fucking Hades death theme with fucking amogos. Gold
Great video m'man
Still found the dragon breath to be pretty OP, a bit slow but has long range, lots of damage, and different types of damage including rot.
i tried this build out and it is legit insane. slaying bosses left and right in 1-2 shots
my boy ymfah always coming in clutch !!! love ya!!!
With those stat requirements I knew this sword had to be pretty strong so I started leveling faith and int. However I could've never guessed these levels of destructive power... damn.
I can't wait to see all the stuff you can come up with in this game man
It actually isn't that strong and it barely scales off it. The Icerind Hatchet is better, because Hoarfrost Stomp is nearly identical in size, but takes less FP, faster cast animation, has high poise break twice per cast and only requires 11 dex and 16 str and deals the same damage. It also scales off the enemy due to the frostbite proc, meaning every second cast you're doing %hp damage. I was hitting the dragon with the highest HP in the game for 13k damage on each proc. You can also get it a lot earlier and faster in the game for speedruns.
On top of it, for 48 points you can just go for a sorcery build and use comet to oneshot nearly everything anyway.
*R.I.P.* *Sword of Nerf and Flame*
February 25th 2022 - March 17th 2022
_Death by 1.03 patch._
Yes, this is a joke, the sword is still useful and the nerf was to be expected.
You don’t need to go all the way down to weeping peninsula to get the morning star for the dragon, there’s a flail right next to the front gate grace inside the cart chest that does bleed damage
Flail takes 18 dex which astrologer doesn't have. To be fair though there's a lot of problems with this run guide, directly behind the dragon in the fort is a rune (12) that could easily get you the 6 levels for using the flail. Also night and flame stance is far inferior to Hoarfrost Stomp which you can get on an axe that is much closer to get to than the sword of night and flame.
Ahh
I wish I could watch but I don't wanna spoil myself so I watch it in a few years when I finally finished the game
You're not missing much by not watching this one. It is a short and very procedure-focused guide on how to skip to a late-game OP weapon. Only a few jokes here and there. To someone who's never seen Elden Ring, the things spoiled were a brief npc cutscene, the visuals of the starting areas, the visuals of the late-game area, the way to use the weapon, some enemies and bosses, and the names and locations of places and loot encountered along the way. Skip to 5:40 for just the weapon showcase vs some normal and boss enemies.
Waiting patiently for a no upgrade Ed guide 😌
I love the fact you said twinkling titanite. That made my day.
the dragon can be farmed infinitely if you make it to the grace on torrent and rest in time, never been patched and is decent even mid game for runes
How?
I just hit 80 hours and I’m still watching this love the content Ymfah can’t wait to see more elden ring
I like the soundtracks you are adding in your videos.Sometimes it sounds even more authentic than the music in real game .
Wondering what the fewest number of “story” bosses are required to get a +10/+25 weapon. Will be interesting to find out once we have documented where every item, cave, and teleport is and where they go. If there ever is a speedrun of the game I wouldn’t be surprised if that sets the route for a while.
You can get to +4+6 before All Hands, +14 before Moon Mom, +18 before Radar and maxed out before Retard, I think.
You can actually get to the Roundtable before Margit (by resting at a Grace point after being teleported to Caelid through the transporter trap). So, logically speaking, given that you know where to find the required Smithing Stones, you can get your weapon to +10/+25 before *ANY* main story bosses...
PS: Oh, I forgot to mention that the Grace Point must be outside of the Selia Crystal Tunnel. There's an easy one right if you turn left after exiting the Selia Crystal Tunnel.
@@cosmic2750 Exactly being able to go to Caelid is actually an instant way to reach + 25 fairly quick.
For sure you need to kill godfey, the last king and the commander boss. Use the secret medallion at lift to get the ancient upgrade items. Unless you tele to the lord of blood area for a somber dragon stone.
@@cosmic2750 It's real easy to get there before Margit. Just die to him, then rest at the grace in the tunnel. Gives you the invitation.
RIP Sword of Night and Flame 😢
As someone who's enjoying the challenge for a newbie souls player but kind of just wants to win and deal with getting gud later since I got a backlog, this is incredible. Had to start over a few times because I'd get stuck in a cave miles away without even having gotten Torrent, lol.
The other way to break this game early is to get a deathroot, speak to D and go to dragonbarrow. There's relatively easy enemies there with 1k rune drops early enough that that'd almost be a level each, and if you explore a bit in Dragonbarrow you can find Greyoll, who'll drop 80k runes and 5 dragon hearts without putting up any fight at all. Once that go to caelid and find the dragon communion cathedral to find rot breath, which is broken in most boss fights. You can then fight Greyll in Dragonbarrow (proc scarlet rot 2 times and run around till he dies) for another 80k runes.
There you go, 20-30 levels for little effort, and the best dragon spell in the game bar maybe some late game ones (I've just unlocked the snow area, if people who've played know what I mean) but i have over 80 hours in the game and that's what I've seen being insane. Sword of Night and Flame is going to get patched anyways so diversify your portfolio lads
Does using Dragon Communion have any consequences that we know of for our character? The guy you can talk speaks of it like it would give us some all-consuming hunger for power or something, so I'm not sure whether to use my dragon hearts or not.
don't even need to go to D or get the deathroot if you don't want to, the waygate is just north of third church of marika, head there for the flask first anyway and off you go
