I don't blame others for bending the rules given how arbitrary the work around often is. But I also think the fun part of ymfah's videos aren't the challenges but the glitches those challenges lead to. They're like an excuse to show off a bunch of broken shit and frame it in an entertaining way.

[@chastermief839]

i mean the warp at the end basically requires doing dancer early. you don't kill her early to get +9, you just have to get her out of the way so that the room is clear. otherwise killing aldritch would teleport you to the dancer fight which puts you at a huge risk to lose the teardrop glitch.

[@SleepyOcto]

@@chastermief839 he doesn't kill dancer during the ladder skip, but he does kill the old woman so that the fight is already active and it places you outside her arena. you can see dancer alive and below him as he quicksteps across to the balcony. 35:15 you can see the dancer there.

For the 7 years I have been a part of this community, I have never witnessed insanity on such a scale. I have never seen a more bonkers, and yet extremely ballsy attempt at doing something like this. Truly ymfah, you are a Dark Souls PvE God. And like every Elder God, you are unfathomably insane.

How can someone hack you into new game+? Can u explain that to me? Please :)

[@stickinittotheman1]

@@9024tobi I'm not sure if you missed it, but the "new game plus" hack was actually one of the less awful things people can do. Basically, there's a hole in the dark souls servers that allows hackers near direct access to your computer. If they invade etc, they can easily exploit this hole to do anything they like. It's very scary, but luckily it is being fixed at least.
