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.

I like how considering the lore of DS2, there is canonically a legendary undead who had social anxiety so severe, that instead of coming out of his shell and trying to talk to people for the good of humanity, he just killed or completely ignored them out of sheer terror at the thought of conversation.

@@LegosR4Adlts I think the implication for Horace is indeed that his tongue was removed. "That's why he's Hushed, not Silent." - Miyazaki probably

For all of DaS2s many issues, its capacity for challenge run strats is unmatched. It just has so many weird quirks and items with unique properties you can come up with so many solutions to unusual scenarios. Great video as always.

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.

Dear Ymfah. This has been the first video I watched from you. Having seen your videos get recommended time after time, and watching parts of your Items Only challenge, I was prepared for something ingenious and exciting. But I wasn't prepared for this level of quality. I was blown away by your editing skills, the choice of music. I love the moments where you show places and npcs from unique angles we never see otherwise. Thank you for this experience, already saved the sound playlist, already discovered several that I fell in love with. Subscribed, and can't wait to see more from you!

Super interesting way to play the game, also learned some tricks from this. Just one nitpick, cant you get Giant seeds after killing Last Giant? Just use that, jump to the tower before Smelter that has no other way to enter than jumping. Use the seed, let the Alonne knights kill Dennis. Worked every time on SL1.
