How to Break Elden Ring at Level 1 

This guy really made the build, beat the game, got nerfed, then pulled out the more overpowered backup and called it a day. Impressive as always

Ah yes, the RL 1 run guide disguised as a One-shot run guide disguised as a Break Elden Ring run guide.

"Goal: start at RL1, end at RL1" *proceeds to treat anything that isn't a oneshot as a failure*

man, i love how every boos when they die are like "NOOOOO, A TARNISHED CANNOT KILL ME, I AM A GOD", while Godfrey is just "damn bro, gg"

i like how after he makes such a meticulous build just for it to be patched, HE THEN MAKES AN EVEN BETTER BUILD ON THE NEW PATCH, truly a ymfah moment

i like how if ymfah cant kill a boss, he travels to the ends of the earth to get a talisman that increases damage by 2% and then kills the boss in a single hit

"Start at level 1, finish at level 1" That one gave me shivers. This means anything goes. _Anything._ Oh, man.

I was so confused when he didn’t kill the dragon. Then I asked myself “What was he gonna do with the runes?”

Full buff routine before Godrick takes 40 seconds. I'm actually surprised that no buffs expire while you applying the rest.

I love how this video isn't just about beating the game at RL1; it's about obliterating it

Arguably one of the coolest things about Elden Ring is that there's so much potential for various OP builds if you're willing to do a lot of running around. Love the format of these videos and that you include the failed attempts and progress before the payoff. Good stuff!

I love that the ridiculous series of buffs takes longer than the actual boss fights. Congrats on 1 mil!

“Put these foolish ambitions to rest.” Ymfah: “…and I took that personally.”

Thank you for the amazing content these past years!

One of the things I love most about Ymfah vids is that he doesn’t usually try the same thing twice. If there’s a way to further break the game he will do it.

I love how, even when you were doing a ton of damage to Margit, you still decided "not good enough. I have to one shot him or it's not good enough!" It's very considerate of you to never leave it at "now just get better at the fight." no. you go out there and find a way that even the freshest player can follow your steps and never have to memorize a single move from a boss.

The craziest part isn't the damage, or the gear, or the glitches... It's the fact that Ymfah is insane enough to use *crafting* Truly, the greatest Souls legend.

For me, you are the only channel in entire RU-vid that when you post a new video, makes my eyes shine and sparks joy instantly. Absolute love your content!

Thank you for the 1M. Couldn't have done it without you. Have a lot more ideas on the list so gonna be a busy year. Discussion thread : www.reddit.com/r/ymfah/comments/w3lmqu

37:00 That crit was so powerful that the bottom of the screen glitched

I hope you have as much fun making these as I do watching them. You are something else.

Thank you for this masterpiece, one of my favorite videos ever

This is the best 1M sub video anyone could ask for, simply because it's another insanely good quality video from Ymfah. Congrats on 1 Million!

When Rennala's second phase begins, you can just sprint straight to her. Her comet attack will completely miss over your head, even if you're standing. That can save you some time to get in some cheeky hits.

The amount of joy that the Top Gear and The Grand Tour “theme tunes” gave was unparalleled

Dude I've been following you since DS1 stuff and I genuinely love these videos. They have little quirks in them that crack me up. Love your sense of humor. Keep it up man.

I was wondering where ymfah was, and then he drops a 42-minute, high quality video like this. Truly one of the best souls youtubers

If you ever feel useless, just remember that Melina offered to level up this dude.

Hey yo, ymfah, Been watching your shit since 2017. Loved how you started out as a parody of the "Dumbshit's guide to dark souls" with the way you format but I've always loved everything you done to set yourself apart, with the intro, the music, the inside jokes, and just how clearly and concisely you make these 20-40 minute videos showcasing that anyone can do these runs. Much love from a fan, Congratulations on 1 million subscribers!!

Ymfah, I'm genuinely thankful for your content! You helped me enjoy Elden Ring and not give up at first. I was overwhelmed, E.R being my first souls game, not knowing what to do or how to get powerful. Then you made that BEAUTIFUL Sword of Night and Flame video and how to upgrade it to +9 at lvl 1... My god, I finished the game using it alone, and it was a JOY and I wrecked every boss ever including Malenia!! So thank you, your content is so good and well made! Keep at it

Amazing music choice for the intro. This is definitely one the videos of all time.

Of all the jokes Ymfah has, I think the "this bit is easy" being completely cut short by them dying four seconds afterwards is probably my favorite

You're a mad lad yemfah. An absolute mad lad. Love you're guides. Probably the most entertaining guides out there. Keep it up. And take a break every once in a while.

I love how he structures the video subtitles as instructions, "grab the so and so", "go to wherever"... Like anyone else would be insane enough to attempt a run like this kkkkkkkk absolute madman

this truly went from a level 1 run to a 1-shot run.

Fromsoft: Ah yes, with this new patch we can finally stop people from speed running to that somber stone Ymfah: *Jumps slightly to the right*

Just did this challenge on my own and specifically avoided this video until after 😭. I knew you would come up with some insane stuff

Every time I watch one of your videos, I'm always surprised by how the general quality keeps improving. This was a fire video. Probably the best you've made other than sky no walk

Margit: You have bested me. Finish me now tarnished! Ymfah: Damn, not a oneshot. I'LL BE BACK LATER TO FINISH THE JOB OLD MAN! Margit: whut?

For those who don’t want to do the manor skip: Godskin Noble can be cheesed pretty easily with sleep pots, poison mist, and rotbreath, using either the dragon communion or two finger seal. The faith requirement for Rotbreath can be met via the two finger heirloom (found in liurnia) and the silver tear/albinauric mask. This also lets you get poison mist, which won’t wake him up. Just start the battle by casting rotbreath, putting the noble to sleep, then using poison mist. If you didn’t apply rot with the first cast, just use it again and throw another pot. Repeat and you can get the +7 via a stonesword key door further in the manor.

Thanks for including the music lists of your videos, there's usually some great tracks to find there. Great video as well.

Impeccable presentation, as always, Ymfah. We missed ya.

“Fairly easy boss” *gets bodied in under 5 seconds* Sanguine noble: Fairly easy player.

I feel like the music choices deserve some praise. Always impressed by everything you put out!

6:50 Расцеветали яблоки и груши, Поплыли туманы над рекой, Выходила на берег Катюша, На высокий берег, на крутой

You, sir, are a monster. What a glorious run, thank you very much.

Elden ring has so many different weapons and buffs, I'm excited to see what you come up with.

Those are always such a treat to watch. The emotional roller coaster of hitting a wall and then breaking through it with sheer gumption and jank is honestly awe-inspiring.

Absolutley stunning as always! 10/10! however i do miss the powerwolf elements of your videos 😁 Keep it up and grats on 1M!

Great video as always. So well produced. Cheers 🎶✌

I actually attempted to do a lvl 1 run without accepting help, no horse. Then I realized I can't even start the fire without her help smh.

I was like "he's definitely gonna do sth to deal as much dmg to the bosses in 1 hit as possible, but lvl 1 is a lvl 1", and then the guy starts one shotting 80% of the bosses, trully a god gamer, you are a legend my friend! To this day I'm trully impressed with BL4 Orphan of Kos and have to rewatch the vid once a year. Waiting for the next video!

That was brilliant, looking forward to more.

Amazing run! Enjoyed this video so much

9:21 Everyone: "Im sure you can kill him if you just dodge correctly..." Ymfah: *S I L E N C E*

The fact that he avoids breaking that illusionary wall every time he apporaches near Iji is infuriating me so much

Subbed purely for the captions. Had me creasing. Great stuff!

I like the transition from showcasing the weapon into hitting the bosses at the begining that was some nice editing

As always Ymfah has a godly music selection. The Ni No Kuni and Dragon Quest parts give so much nostalgia and such a sense of adventure looking for just a little more damage.

I started watching this not looking at the run time of this video... I now have to say I am truly impressed that you were able to keep up such a highly edited, content-dense and just really fun style all the way through

Congrats on the 1 mil and great vid!!!

ymfah, the only person with the absolute patience to break the game like its the Elden Ring shattering here on youtube, and then make a guide about it and hiding it within another guide about being Rune Level 1

the Hades "there's no escape" sound at 4:01 CRACKED me in half, holy shit that was so unexpected and beautiful

Ah, sweet. Another man-made monstrosity. I get a mixture of happiness and despair whenever I see Ymfah break once more my favourite series of games

Starting the vid with some Dokkan Battle OST was unexpected, but every time the music makes me like the vid, hat's off as always to the legend ! 👏🏻

if any one is having a tough time doing the jumping glitch at the volcano manor, you can also get a +10 weapon by doing a wrong warp to Farum Azula and completing Vaare's quest

Before anyone asks why he did this, he did it for the family.

I love your content so much legit your a amazing youtuber keep up the great work

another brilliant video thank you for making these :D

Congrats on the 1 Million! You deserve it for always making the best videos!

there it is! finally a normal guide for elden ring!

Love you Ymfah thanks for all the good work you do 🤘🤘😎

love the editing style!

God please make videos forever, the editing and the time put in really shows. The fact that you went through the pain of making this, got shafted by an update, and came back with an even more busted build is just crazy to me. Thanks for all the vids over the years, I think I've seen them all 2-3+ times each at this point XD

No way, I'm not tripping right?

You always know where to put top gear and grand tour music. As always great vid!

First vid of yours I've seen. Definitely subbed, that was hilarious

This might be my favorite video of yours yet! I’m always impressed by your editing, it’s always so awesome!

Your videos are always a treat to watch. Congratz on the 1 mil!

Your magnificent music choice is what brings me to watch all of your videos everytime

The amount of work and the quality of the content worth every praise. Keep up the good work!

Yoo congrats on the 1mil!! This guy is an absolute madman and the amount he endures to put out such quality videos always amazes me. Keep up the amazing work man and we'll continue appreciating every single second!

As always, tells a story and is edited awesomely with kick ass sound. Love your work and look forward to your next run, whatever the game! 👍

just realized that you uploaded this on my birthday, thanks for the bday present man!

We are truly blessed with another glorious Ymfah video masterpiece.

Congrats for 1 mil ymfah you've earned it!

"Vin Gasoline" hahaha, nice 👌🏻 Congrats on the well earned 1 million subs! I can't ever get enough of these brilliant and dedicated challenge runs when you release them.

HIS HELPED ME SO MUCH! THANK YOU!

Watched it all the way through. Nice content

Thanks for always making such good content

Perfect timing! I was trying a rl1 run myself and getting stuck on Malekith and Rykard. Thanks for the fun strategies!

You are a legend ymfah

damn Jirens back story is crazy

Congrats on the 1 mil Ymfah. You 100% deserved it. All your vids are one masterpiece after another.

"Take the plunge" "You will die" God, I miss Dark Souls III.

As soon as i started playing this game, i started wondering if you could beat while remaining maidenless and immediately thought of this channel. One of the best, no doubt

Damnnnnn this is exactly what im waiting for You're my hero man

Everytime Ymfah releases a video, I can hear the gods sing. Lol. Excellent editing and keep making epic content!
