Ymfah overcame the challenge of not using ladders in his Dark Souls 2 no-walking run by planning new routes, strategically using abilities and items, and occasionally relying on save file shenanigans24. This involved using a combination of locking onto enemies, utilizing the Bandit class's bow for turning, and even summoning real players to help navigate through certain areas.
Ymfah faced several major hurdles during the Dark Souls 2 challenge, such as the inability to walk, turn around freely, and use ladders. This required finding alternative ways to move, turning using a bow or binoculars, and planning new routes to overcome obstacles. Additionally, some boss battles demanded well-thought-out strategies due to the character's limited mobility.
Ymfah used two main methods to turn around in Dark Souls 2 without walking: locking on to an enemy to turn towards them, and using a bow or binoculars to spin around when not locked on. These techniques allowed for navigation without relying on the left control stick for movement.
