If you are too lazy to fight the fists (or lack methods of paralyzing/freezing), then just use your trusty wand of telekinesis to push Yog into a nearby corner and Larva wall yourself.

if you do that and then run out of earthroot, you are fucked, right? I always hated the fact that you can plant things below yourself but you can't trigger them unless you move away from that spot... or is there a way?

Earthroot helps (earthroot ALWAYS helps), but there are some keys to making the larva wall strategy work. Things like only using the strategy if you can minimize the number of larvae capable of hitting you at the same time (2 is one of the best cases, 8 is the worst), having highly upgraded armor, properly farming up potions... most of the battle is fought before you enter the boss room.

As for the replanting issue: No, there is no way (at least not that I know of) to set a second earthroot when you are surrounded. I think maybe there might be a zany potion of levitation interaction where you can use an earthroot seed until it ends, levitate, and fall onto another earthroot seed when the potion ends... but I have never tested that. It'd be a cool thing to try though.

You could use a scroll of terror to make space to make the two moves. You run the risk of having either fist get into a position to attack you though. If you do push yog into a good position only 2 larva will be able to hit you so with decent armour you don't even need the earthroot.

Larvas don't hit THAT hard, as long as you have decent armor (+5 scale/plate), and some health potions you'll be ok.

For some reason, I find that amusing.

The final boss is kinda a wimp innit, if you kill off the fists first, Yog himself is easier than even Goo.

It is really amusing. Yog is the only enemy in the game that does not move at all, and you can use one of the weakest wands in the game to push him around. You push the dark god around as though you were some sort of schoolyard bully.

The way I see it is that the fists are his last line of defense. The eye is his weakness, and that's why he does everything he can to stop you from getting to it.
