How to be OP and SL1 Dark Souls Remastered 

If you are having buffering/audio issues here is a fixed version : ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-SWpyPZVNFWA.html Thanks to everyone who pointed out this issue.

If being OP at soul level 1 means killing the giant blacksmith then I don't want to be OP.

Killing the Giant Blacksmith should be an automatic game over that deletes your save and uninstalls your game.

Imagine a pyromancer ending the age of fire.

Listen, there are some prices worth paying, but killing Solaire and the Giant Blacksmith is not one of them.

Step 1: Do a thing Step 2: Realize you're SL1 Step 3: Do it again

Now I can finally beat Bloodborne. Thanks ymfah

How Mildred did that much dmg for you is beyond me, in my playthrough I just watch her stunlock herself by running into the lava pits lmao

*"Grossly incandescent, but not the brightest."* I'm dead lmao 😂

Yes,with this much power I can finally beat Pinwheel!!!

19:13 I died when dreamscape started playing and the note pad popped up, It should’ve said “today I will show you how get club penguin in dark souls for free”

19:10 Bro this shit took me back to 2009, I feel like crying

"Pretty Princess" ....Lenny.....LENNY IS THAT YOU!?

7:33 - Oh...that's very GNAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH

Beat my first SL1 playthrough using this guide today. It's very in-depth and helpful, 10/10 would recommend.

Oooh that Snake Eater joke at 19:31 and the subsequent payoff at 19:46 is so good.

Fun fact: Actually tried this, mildred dumbass AI died before even getting to half the health of queelag, so i had to fight her with only a reinforced club, probably the most satisfying thing ever in this game

12:18 i'm not crying you're crying

I love how the only "you died" screen in the intro was during the manus boss fight

When you're worried you'll get invaded sl1

Seeing Kaalamet die in one Pyromancy spell made me jizz

I'm a simple man, I see someone kill Giant Blacksmith, I dislike

19:11 really hit my feelies with that old-school RU-vid walk throughs 😂😂

29:52 I used to laugh at the death montage. I used to think: "damn, he died around 50 times against Manus and still persisted until he killed the fucking thing" A few minutes ago I legitimately beat Manus SL1 with the same strategy. For the first time. After probably no less than 40~50 attempts. It was fucked up, Manus on SL1 changes a man. Now I'm not laughing anymore (Still thanks for making this possible)

Saw this when it was released, didnt fully watch it til now, thought it was just gonna be a meme vid but holy fuck its actually an EXTREMELY well edited guide to SL 1 twinks, good job man!

I have never played dark souls but i see this video and understand why people thinks this game is a masterpiece

3:22 That "Reeeeee" was perfect

I just wanted to thank you, ymfah. I followed your guide and finished my first sl1 run. You are a big inspiration to me, I love your videos, they’re not just helpful, but very humoristic as well. Hope you keep making more videos!

For a soul level 1 (or, really, any build with extremely low health) it's beneficial to retain cursed status. Since it halves your max health and, combined with dusk crown ring, your max hp becomes 143. This is beneficial, because it means you can lower the damage taken from power within to 1 damage per second (1% of 143 is one, rounded down). Coupled with sanctus (you don't need the stats for the healing effect) which heals 2 every 2 seconds, the effects cancel out. This means you can maintain a constant level of health, neither losing or gaining any as the effects cancel out, meaning you can proc red tearstone without dying because of power within, while not healing too much that you eventually lose the effect. You could likely do this with the pyromancer setup you opted for, but you'd be limited to one attunement slot for great combustion (with 50% more combustions due to the dusk crown ring). Mostly though, it favours a melee SL1 and your damage becomes ridiculously strong. If you roll with that into NG+ you can get a second power within, which in turns gives you 3 (2, plus dusk ring 1). This also works for any glass cannon build, which is also good.

Pro tip: if Mildred dies early, you can quit out and reappear outside of the fog door.

19:47 that... was beautiful. I legit cri

12:18 explains the dark souls 3 scene in anor lando..

Hell yeah, been looking forward to seeing how the Remastered SL1 changes from the original.

damn man, can't even imagine how much time you spent making these incredible videos. terrific being op is not good enough though. so, when is the video "how to be ymfah in ds"?

this is actually an incredible guide, helped me do my first SL1 run in any souls game. TY ymfah :)

I saw the video title and knew it was just pyromancies. That’s how you did it in the original. 19:10 best shit in the video undoubtedly. Gives me nostalgia and makes me die laughing at the same time. Man, I remember when that was EVERY SINGLE VIDEO ON RU-vid EVER WORTH WATCHING.

If you are currently having problems watching the video in the mobile RU-vid app, try to watch it on RU-vid in a Web browser instead. The video should load properly then.

Just successfully finished my first SL1 DkS1 Remastered All bosses run, completely following your instructions. Thank you - it's perfect in so many ways.

For those of you looking to do this yourself, I recommend the much more consistent, albeit dangerous method of alternating hits on quelaag between you and mildred. You can do this to abuse her aggro AI so she never actually kills mildred and finish the fight much faster, as mildred's AI can be finnicky, however this does run the risk of getting you killed.

Not only are your videos great tutorials and easy to follow along but very entertaining and humorous. I can tell you put in alot if work into edit these videos. You deserve many more subscribers than what you already have.

lost it @ 19:11. This is the quality content im subscribing for.

The editing of your videos is fantastic.

Amazing walk through. I've finally done my first soul level 1 play through thanks to this. 10/10

1:37 yeah the moment everybody wanted

Just wanted to say you deserve a lot more subs than you have. Keep it up. I've been playing Dark Souls 1 (even after it pretty much died) ever since it came out and while I haven't needed to use these kind of tutorials myself, you have some of the most straight forward and easiest to follow tutorials on souls games.

6:23 Didn't expect to see that referenced in a Dark Souls video, good gear

0:27 Me: *BLESSED AND POSSES-* Oh, you cut it off

The feeling when mildred keeps on dying before even getting the boss to half-health

I love these Dunkey voice touches!

Played/beat this game for the first time earlier this week. Trying this run now and so far it has gone great. Already in the Demon ruins. Thanks for the guide!

Such a great mix of WildPie, Dunky, and a ton of others I can't name and/or don't even know about... Not even mad cause I can't get enough of all those classic vids.

I don't add videos to my favorites often, but this deserves it.

I got dsr on switch yesterday, this is the most helpful guide I’ve found! Thx fam for all the help with this game!

Finally finished SL1 today thanks to this guide. It took about 12 hours to complete. I never thought I would be able to do something like this, so thank you so much for making this video. Praise the sun!

There's a lot of references that not anybody knows but I gotta admit. Great Video!

We need a mod that degrades performance in besttown, for the best experience

Finally attempted SL1 after never trying it before and followed this guide to a T. Surprisingly enough, the most troublesome boss was the centipede demon for me. Fantastic guide. Entertaining, educational, and very well thought out. Not only that, was able to complete SL1 run without much hassle thanks to all the easy to follow steps. Thanks a ton; subscribed!

Your editing and sense of humor are right up my ally

Thank you for putting Powerwolf in your videos. It was from this video that I learned about the band, and now I'm going to their concert in April

I fuccing LOVE these kinds of edits - so awesome to watch and it's also useful! To the author of the video @ymfah - bravo! Thank you for entertaining us, great video :)

19:16 Best callback.

ymfah: kills the blacksmith giant satan: i see you here

29:52 this is killing me everytime i watch it

19:12 this is amazing...

>starts video >Instantly hears Powerwolf Knew the video was gonna be good just from that

Just beat an SL1 playthrough a couple days ago! Didn’t follow this guide exactly, mostly figured out my own methods, but this still got me through a couple of really tight spots. Cheers mate! 👍

I just love how at 4:57 the "Nope nope nope" goes with the rythm of the music

4:10 spat out my drink

The song is called Blessed and Possessed in case you were wondering 👌

great tutorial, great style of making the video, some mems but not too many and not too anoying, and very good information also i really like your humor

Your music choice is awesome

I had to pause the video at 10:38 when Megalith-Agnes Dei started playing, and subscribe.

Best 31 secs of my life. I keep coming back to see the intro.

I got inspired by this video to do SL 1 run myself, I just burned Gwyn to a crisp. Thanks for making me love this series even more :3

19:12 will never get old

By Gwyn’s holy sunlight, that snake eater bit with the laughter got me way harder than I expected.

This is what motivated me to push through DS1 for the first time

hearing blessed and possessed at the beginning of a ymfah video is so comforting

Im currently using this guide as this is my first ever soul level 1 playthrough. Got to the artorias part. In the video it says 9/10 he'll do the sword spin. I didnt get that in my first fight. He ended up jumping on me instead. Fun lol. 10/10 guide.

After watching through a bunch of your videos, I can’t help but notice that you are a dunkey fan.

2 seconds in, insta-liked. Love your videos mate.

I would genuinely appreciate a full walkthrough for this 😅

Thank you man, I did it with your help of you and I was very happy

19:46 [Slowclapping]

The time has come. I’m going to try it as an actual guide for my first ever SL1 run. Wish me luck!

Followed this guide to the T and was able to complete my first SL1 run in any game ever !!

The MGS soundtracks make this so much better , and the ladder climb with mgs3 SE being played was so nostalgic , thank you.

The true challenge is mustering the resolve to kill the giant blacksmith. His sacrifice will not be forgotten. Never again.

When you killed Leeroy, the sound effect should have been "at least I still have chicken."

Amigo you got a nice taste in choosing the music

Ymfah... the guy who will volunteer to go around burning guy's groins and not feel a hint of regret or pain from his own groin... you sir are my hero

Thank you for introducing me to Powerwolf, and for making entertaining content my dude.

1:57 "Yew wan sumfin dun write yew gawta dew it awl bye youwself"

already watch this video 15 times, you and the ymfah guy.

the intro gave me blue balls because I was expecting to hear blessed and possessed but I only got Gwyn's theme don't leave me with blue balls man

The bizarroflame reference at 2:53 is incredible

wow i just started a SL1 run like 5 minutes ago *_nice_*

if you anyone gets stuck on quelaag, you can use the light crossbow and shoot heavy bolts from the "safe spot" while maneater mildred attacks from behind. also have the dragon crest shield equipped

I come back just to replay the intro to this video. It's simply Beautiful
