More optimized, and an optional +9 setup included.

Thanks, now I can finally beat soldier of godrick

Here are a couple tips Ymfah, you can backstep while facing the camera in lava and bloodrot areas (it's much faster than rolling or jumping), in volcano manor where you pick up somber stone 6 - climb up the ladder nearby and make an easy 75° jump to the side balcony for a much better and easier to get bonfire. And after killing Godrick and dying or winning in pvp 3 times, you can get +10 at Moghwyns Palace through Varres quest

[Cotran]

For people who dont know ymfah: This is the guy who beat Skyrim with a bow but no arrows, the thieves guild without stealing, the dark brotherhood (assassines) without killing and the cherry on top, Skyrim without walking. So yes, you should expect him to ALWAYS find a way.

Love that this was added to Jacksepticeye's "scariest videos" playlist. It's truly terrifying what this man can do with this kind of power

[autotactic]

2:34 you can exploit the dragon, it takes too long to die, so if you run really fast to the grace, it revives and still gives you the souls

This video is like a combination of OG ymfah and New ymfah wrapped up into 1 video! Real nice to hear Gravity Rush again!

As a Brazilian I can confirm the Greyoll’s Dragonbarrow was inspired by São Paulo, Brasil.

If you wanna optimize the Deathbird cheese (or generally kill deathbird faster) you should know that they are very allergic to holy damage such as from holy urns.

Fromsoft: We decided that certain weapon sets were overtuned so we’re gonna change up a bunch in the latest balance patch.

YMFAH: You Fool, I have 70 Alternative Builds

[Croooodle]

The most impressive part was how you were able to record, cut, and edit all this so quickly after the patch dropped.

Margit calling the Tarnished “of passing strength” after getting his health deleted in 0.2 seconds for the 789th time.

Something important to note, you can get the somber stones in the volcano manor by having Rya take you there rather than the trap in the academy. Do the first part of her quest and grab the the dectus medallions (you already have to go through fort faroth to get the Soreseal) and go to fort Haight for the other one. Take the lift up and she's right there once you get off the lift. You can still access the somber stones just through a different route.

your videos are a light in a dark decade. the subtitles and editing are a treat, and i always finish your videos with a smorgasbord of song recs :') thank you! I hope you have the best ahead of you!

[King-Bubel]

The portals all over elden ring that let you go to high level areas early and get strong when you choose is honestly such a cool addition that it makes me want to make new characters even though I’m not done with my first!

Patch notes 1.04:
-Nerfed Death's Poker damage

[dylancurtis]

Oh boy ! I sure can't wait to get overpowered early in Elden Ring 1.03 ! Thank you very much ymfah !

[Valenciaga.CrocHeels]

Using this routing (minus an order change between the dragon and Iji) and doing Varre's quest to get to Mohgwyn early I can now get a +10 somber with the farm spot unlocked within an hour to an hour and a half. great guide Ymfah!

[JinFreeks]

As an advanced bonus, now do Varre's questline (meet him in Liurnia (requires Godrick so he moves), do 3 invasions (it doesn't matter if you win, you can straight up kys if you don't want to pvp), go to the 4 Belfries, get the sword next to the grace, activate the portal in the middle, return to the very start and touch the dead maiden, back to Varre to get his invitation to Mohg, run past everything until you reach the grace below Mhog and loot the somber ancient dragon stone next to the congregation of baddies) for a +10 weapon with only a single Demi-god killed.

My theory on Night Knight dying there, when an enemy gets to far from their starting location they get teleported back to their original spawn. Normally if you're not looking at them they unload entirely, but the poison damage keeps him spawned in. So when he gets teleported back the bridge isn't loaded, and he falls to his death.
