Excruciating and entertaining Dark Souls challenge runs [1]

['Grant St. Clair']

Date: 2022-12-25

Any gamer you cared to ask would admit that when it comes to tough games, From Software's seminal Dark Souls series (and all of their games that follow a similar formula, like Demon's Souls, Sekiro or Bloodborne) are already pretty tough. There exists, however, a very special kind of person that looks at the brutal, unforgiving challenge these games offer and says to themselves 'how can I make this worse'? YouTuber ymfah is chief among them- their accomplishments include beating Dark Souls 3 without ever using movement controls, Dark Souls without ever killing anything, and Dark Souls 2 exclusively by blowing themselves up.

Apt music choices and slick presentation make ymfah's odysseys all the more entertaining to watch- even if most of said entertainment is derived through laughing at their abject misery. But isn't that what Dark Souls is all about?
