How to Level 1 Demon's Souls 

Just in time for the remake. This video is a "glitchless" version of my previous SL1 run. Hopefully, it'll help for the next remake. [EDIT] Works in the remake. Since YTs comment system sucks if y'all have any questions there's a thread on /r/ymfah : www.reddit.com/r/ymfah/comments/in5maf/thread_how_to_level_1_demons_souls/?

The banned list intended to prevent you from using overpowered equipment and strategies... instead it just saves ymfah time finding the overpowered shit himself.

"Soul Leve Drained" Congrats on the SL0 run of Demon Souls.

For the crate breaking stutter, here is a fix if you use RPCS3: Set preferred spu threads to auto, disable thread scheduler, disable spu loop detection

"You're not hunting beasts, it's you, you're the beast" Meanwhile: ymfah fortnite dancing in the background

Using a list of banned strats as a guide is a vibe

Community: *Bans items* Ymfah: There are no rules, only victory.

He's preparing himself. Sharping his skills and determination, for the remake to launch and beat it in every possible way he already did with other games in Souls franchise.

*Banned Equipment* All the good bling *ymfah* "I don't remember asking you a goddamn thing!"

The subnautica music at 11:00 is amazing. One of the many things I love about these videos is the music in them

Hey ymfah, I think it would be pretty cool if you did “how to pacifist the civil war” in Skyrim. Just a suggestion, love your content man

I want to hear what you really think. You want more than just little jank. You want to be drenched in it, mired by its impossible exploits. Am I right? Am I? Oh, just say that I'm right! Heh heh heh...

"Heroes of Magic... and sometimes Might... if you're extremely unlucky."

Can we appreciate that ymfah translated all the in game items for the Souls fans? I'd've had no idea what a stone of the archmage or whatever was, but since you said homeward bone, I knew exactly what you meant. Thanks for that. Made it much more enjoyable to watch considering I've never seen any DeS content.

Sl1 banned items : exist Ymfah : *this won't stop me because I can't read*

Imagine being the dude who made the criteria on how you have to play demon souls on SL1 lmao

Rules for SL1 DeS: No overpowered stuff. ymfah: "I'ma gonna pretend I didn't see that."

"His breath has a hitbox" Girls keep saying this about me, what does it mean? :(

Consumable only Demon's Souls and Consumable only Bloodborne when? I'm sorry for the pain at late game/DLC BB

8:04 I loved this man in Sekiro, and now he’s back for more. Let’s petition to get this sound into more FromSoft games.

This was so satisfying, I love your videos so much dude and as soon as Demon Souls arrives you can be damn sure I'mma try that and perish a thousand times. Your videos are just pure happiness to me not even kidding. Love you man.

"Banned equipment and tactics" ymfah: *laughs in sith lord*

Ymfah: “He sells good Weed, so don’t kill him.” Me, who already killed him 5 hours ago: *”Oh, I don’t think so.”*

Hollow Knight themed title card? PvZ music? You're spoiling me Ymfah.

The "Screw your rules I'm abusing everything" energy is strong with this video.

Step One: create your caracter Step two: get fire storm

20:00 Geneva Suggestion. that got me good.

Damn, Demon Souls character models were T H I C C

Jonathan’s theme in 6:02 when you used the light weapon buff was amazing, nice reference bro

I love how there's rules to a SL1 run, despite the run literally being "Use all the cheese you can lmao"

gahd, I swear your mixes are perfect for watching your runs... it's the perfect combination of relaxing and rofling

4:15 - need more lore on that

5:53 that music though. Jonathan theme underrated Also I would love to see more Oblivion videos

This is raw, unadulterated pain and I love every second of it

Second Chance More like Demon Souls: Slayers die Twice.

What I love about Demon's Souls is that your first playthrough will teach you the true meaning of pain, and after that you instill fear into the game itself. It makes you actually feel like you've gotten GOOD at the game; it's the exact same feeling you get when you perfectly execute a boss in Sekiro.

When I did an SL1 run of Demon's Souls I used this as a guide. Which really shows how well they double up as entertaining videos and actual guides.

i love how ymfah makes these videos as a how to tutorial even tho none of us are as deranged to do all of this

Just realized I wasn't subbed after 2 months of Discovering your content and im a little upset that i didnt know sooner, love your videos man. Keep it up!

2:30 I’m surprised even big souls tubers don’t realize they can utilize demons souls ledge hopping mechanic for that and don’t have to roll off the stairs. If u don’t know demons souls is the only souls game to have a mechanic where is you walk up to certain ledges you could just climb. It was unique but it was hard to find places that were meant to be clambered. like in this situation where only the ledge right here is climbable and most other ledges that look the same in this level aren’t.

The editing makes this so pleasing to watch! I dont really care about the game but the editing really makes this gold! :)

6:04 that moment when Jonathan channel his hamon through a sword

i love this video, hard to make a guide without voice commentary entertaining but the fast-paced editing keeps it fun to watch while being informative.

i like how he spit in the face of the arbitrary rules there lol

Been binging your videos ymfah and having a great time, you put so much effort into them entertaining.

Demon’s Souls with K.K. Bubblegum in background is basically 2020 in a nutshell

Only real ymfah fans remember Powerwolf intros rip

My favorite thing about your videos is that you include a playlist of all the music used in the description. Really makes my job easier

FINALLY, I beated Demon's Souls yesterday, now i can enjoy this Masterpiece

Wasn't expecting Kirby's music so early in the video. Still awesome.

I love your videos. It helped me to do my level 1 runs. I did the DS1 level 1 run and Elden Ring level 1 run (Doing it again now). Im doing the DS3 level 1 too, i just reached the Pontiff. And im already planning my Demons level 1 run in my old ps3. Your videos helps a lot, shows how do it a lot of complex bosses and helped me to think about a lot of strategies. Great content and thanks for the videos.

Bruh, you cannot imagine how happy it made me to hear the DuckTales Moon Theme at a final boss again. Brings the whole experience together.

I’m disappointed you don’t have over 1M after all this time of being the most surprising and interesting content creator (IMO). You have such a way of attuning your content where it seems like you’re guiding the viewers through each intricacy you face to always keep us on our toes as opposed to just making it a boring play through

10:53 flashback from my cyclops getting Destroyed by leviathans

I dislike how underrated your channel is. These are some top quality videos with so much effort put into them.

Hell yeah man, I am so glad you're still making this stuff. love the mixture of meme's, and the text and such. Always great vids, never a let down. Keep the awesome work up!

I love how ymfah mixes up the music from now and then. He used Jonathan’s theme from JoJo season one and the Hokuto no Ken main theme, as well as a few songs I recognize from the Fallout radios.

"Here's a list of items you should not use for your sl1 ru- ymfah! Stop taking notes!"

The Music is so good this video works as a music playlist

Patches: He may backstab and betray you now and then but DAMN does he sell good weed

Ymfah has the most entertaining tutorial videos I have ever seen

Gotta admit, having come back to rewatch this after seeing your luck-based break video, I have to admit Bluepoint made the remake look absolutely stunning. The difference is super striking. I just hope the talks of the remake eventually coming to PC weren't just smoke in the wind, cus I don't have the disposable income to drop on a console for just this.

I've unironically discovered so much great music through ympah videos.

I love how you treated the ban list. Personally I feel if it's in the game it's free game. For instance people always tell new people in ds1 to not get the Drake sword but that thing falls off pretty fast and ain't worth leveling so they will naturally gravitate to something else. Personally I'm always happy when I see someone swap to the claymore due to it being in the same area (also the roll attack is godly). Never got to play demon souls due to not having a PS3 but the game is so broken from everything I've seen. Hackers getting their armor broke by the scraping spear, backstab chaining, mass item duping, the list goes on. Arguably ds1 has the same backstab chaining and item duping though, it's rare that I do a run anymore without duping a boss soul to save time.

That music loop as you made your decent had me in stitches because I was waiting for the tune to move on.

SL1 banned strats list: *exists* yfmah: Sweet, a list of all the things I need.

Always love dunkey voice clips, and the Subnautica credits music is radical!

2:39 God bless the PC master race

Gotta be honest, I shed more than one tear at the valley of defilement part. Excellent video 😂

Hey this looks like that other game! Not many people heard of it but it's called "Dark Souls" I think?

I appreciate your video editing so much. This is a lovely watch

Daggers in ds3 SL1: top 10 shonen anime fights Daggers in demons souls:

The way you absolutely styled on the Maneaters made me want to sub to your channel again. Hats off to you. Holy shit.

"Parkour to Otz" Hold on, thats a reference

finally a new video i can watch over and over and over and over....again

whoever wrote that guide must be a huge nerd or making fun of those kind of rules

Dude, your editing is top tier man. It's always great watching these.

Playing Jonathan's theme while discussing backstabs, for shame good sir.

You make me look up so many videos with these damned sound bites you got goin on

YEAAAAAAAAAH DEMONS REMAKE LOOKS AMAZING ITS BEST DAY OF MY LIFE

A new ymfah video and it's my birthday

SL1 regulations? More like a list on how to beat the game with toothpicks

The strat for the king toward the end was so elegant, its simplicity is its greatest strength

My favorite part is how he uses the banned stuff as a guide lol

Your music and sf selection is always fantastic

Wait, there's like a whole list of "acceptable criteria" for an SL1 run? Like, you're doing SL1; I think cheesing/abusing game mechanics is the best way to help mitigate suffering lol

You're the only reason I have notifications on for youtube

Aye wassup, first time I’ve been this early.

Never played the game, but the music is a bop and the editing is great, so I gotta watch it.

A Demon’s Souls meme video that isn’t “LOL OMG FIRESTORM OP BEST SPELL”? I love you YMFHA! ❤️

Just amazing man I really enjoy it, hope to see you running lv1 in the demons souls remake

10:15 WEY HEY HEY just an ordinary day

ymfah, your vids are always a treat to watch, thank you.

10:54 - start playing Subnautica players with ptsd: *Oh no*

Ooh that subnautica credits music hits good

*ymfah:* Completes a really difficult game without leveling up his character *Me for the entire duration of the run:* Man that character has a nice butt!

The editing is incredible as always! Love your videos!

"Balanced, as all things should" - not Demon souls

I’m ashamed that I thought this was the remake in the beginning and for a third of the video before I realized and payed attention to what I was watching but good shit ymfah honestly I only played through (partially) dark souls and games like it cause of your vids
