YouTuber ymfah has beaten Dark Souls 2 by only throwing poop at his enemies, and the result is somehow riveting and hilarious in a way that really heightens the otherwise dull and lackluster campaign, the series' ****** sheep.

On top of being hilarious and arguably the most fun I've ever had with Dark Souls 2, ymfah's video doubles as an explainer that bestows upon anyone the knowledge needed to also beat Dark Souls 2 in the OG Primate way.

I know I'm not the only one to find this highly entertaining content, as the comments point out the same unexpected highlights that also caught my attention until the credits rolled.

"rats take 6 poop to kill. we only have 5."

Riveting storytelling.

"I like how half this video is entirely a quest for a 6th poop to kill a rat."

If you're one of the many who consider Dark Souls 2’s narrative severely underwhelming, give this video a chance and prepare to be moved. And no, I'm not saying that only out of jest.

As most know, Dark Souls is less about the story itself and more about the progression, out of which players will make their own assertions on what the actual history of that place could be. Besides a plot way more uninspired than that of the original, Dark Souls 2 greatly suffers from bad level design. Most of its level layouts are severely undercooked, and some of them are even randomly cobbled together in a way that makes the world feel completely impossible. This inevitably makes progression feel wonky, at best, and like a complete fever dream for the most part.

Infamously, Dark Souls 2's final dungeon, Drangleic Castle, requires players to go through a lot of unnecessary trouble to get to, as it's blocked by a knee-high pile of rubble that any adventurer would just casually walk over. It might not seem like much, but this greatly hinders the seriousness of the quest at hand.

But the poop run fixes all that. First, because it's much more fun overall, and also because now there's a truly hard obstacle to overcome—the rat that requires six "dung pies" to die, with players only havong access to five. Now we're talking stakes! I mean, seriously, because most of the run is spent on the quest for that elusive sixth literal piece of sh*t. After that, it's all about breaking the game to farm dung pies and become the poop lord, the Dung Yeeter, if you will, and it's all extremely fun to witness.
