      i mean the warp at the end basically requires doing dancer early. you don't kill her early to get +9, you just have to get her out of the way so that the room is clear. otherwise killing aldritch would teleport you to the dancer fight which puts you at a huge risk to lose the teardrop glitch.

I would guess his backed up save was from before he killed dancer.

    Given that Ymfah tends to show all the strategies he tries, even ones that aren't successful, I can only conclude that he went through this entire run (one where his main problem in combat is that he can't dodge) without it ever occurring to him that using a good shield might be a viable strategy.
    He used Iron Flesh as a defensive tool before considering using a shield. This truly says a lot about Dark Souls 3 shields.

    I just love the effort. The amount of preparation and backtracking necessary to create viable builds to solve problems that should have never existed in the first place.
