One of the best things about FromSoftware’s action RPGs – including Elden Ring – is that they always support strong, tight-knit communities full of fans who encourage, entertain and work with one another. Many of these operators have created YouTube channels that they use to post videos. Many have grown significantly over time due to how valuable or fun the videos on them are.
Overall, the YouTubers behind these channels are incredibly talented, and we highly recommend watching them if you’re looking to interact with the Elden Ring community outside of the game itself. Below is a list of some of the best Elden Ring users of YouTube on the platform, as well as an overview of the type of content everyone creates on their channel.
The best knowledge: VaatiVidya
FromSoftware games usually have great lore and are full of rich depth, but compared to most other games, it can be difficult to put the studio’s narratives together. That’s why we recommend watching VaatiVidya, which researches FromSoftware’s gaming lore and then translates them into easy-to-digest, well-made videos. These videos feature clear narration from VaatiVidya himself as well as high-quality cinematic footage – both of which make the process of understanding and communicating knowledge more enjoyable.
VaatiVidya already has a 30-minute video that covers the basics of the Elden Ring lore, with more on the road that will dive deeper into the characters’ stories, bosses’ backgrounds, and more. Make sure to subscribe to his channel and keep an eye on it from now on.
Best evidence: Fixralife
What if you were looking for clues on how to beat a certain boss or build your character in a certain way? We highly recommend Fextralife, run by a team of incredibly passionate RPG fans who have covered all FromSoftware’s games extensively. Here you will find a large number of Elden Ring videos covering how to beat each boss as well as a variety of different character formations.
Notably, Fextralife also hosts the Elden Ring Wiki which contains detailed information on just about everything in the game, including the NPC mission steps, documentation of boss attacks and how to avoid them, and the location of each item. There’s even a full interactive map that shows you exactly where to find each NPC, weapon, spell, armor set, and more.
Best walkthrough: cowboy fight
The guides are valuable because they can help you get through a tricky area or figure out where to go next, and our favorite Elden Ring tour on YouTube was made by FightinCowboy. By watching the huge walkthrough of 82 videos of FightinCowboy, you will be able to follow and explore each area; Find almost every weapon, spell and piece of armor; And defeat every boss. The instructions also cover how to get all the Elden Ring achievements, which will undoubtedly be very useful for achievement hunters.
In addition to the excellent walkthroughs, FightinCowboy has also made several other videos such as character building guides, best gear details, and both PvE and PvP co-op streams.
Best trivia: Zullie the Witch & Limit Breakers
Zullie the Witch and Limit Breakers are great YouTubers to watch if you love learning about random bits of trivia that aren’t generally very useful, but are nonetheless interesting. Both frequently use glitches and data to investigate things like severed bosses or enemy attacks, the way the animations work, or how high or low a character’s stats are.
In general, Zullie the Witch videos are more relaxing to watch, while Limit Breakers take on a more comedic style. I highly recommend watching them both, as both channels are entertaining in their own unique way.
Best Fast Runner: nighty
Fast runners will love LilAggy, the routinely fast runner from software games. Since launching Elden Ring in late February, LilAggy has consistently performed in a variety of different sprints for the game, including Any% Run, No Hit Run, All Remembrances Run, and All Bosses Run. Notably, he was also the first sprinter to beat an Elden Ring in under an hour, despite breaking the sprint world record multiple times since then.
In addition to his sprint races, LilAggy does unique challenging rides. For example, LilAggy beat Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice while blindfolded before, and also completed the game using the dance board as a controller. He streams all of his quick and challenging courses on his Twitch channel, and then uploads them to YouTube, so there are plenty of ways to watch them.
The best challenges: mfh
When it comes to premium challenge rides, there is no one like ymfah. In both FromSoftware’s games and others, ymfah completed silly challenges like hitting toys without walking, without attacking, or just hitting them with consumables like throwable knives. Moreover, the videos uploaded by ymfah are fun thanks to the funny captions and excellent editing skills.
While ymfah did not publish the Elden Ring contest distanceI have no doubts he will do that very soon. His challenging rounds often take over a month to complete and then need to be tweaked into an entertaining video. In the meantime, you should check out the different challenge rounds he made for Dark Souls, Sekiro, Bloodborne, Fallout 4, and Skyrim.
Best player vs player: Chase TheBro
If you enjoy watching PvP gameplay, the best Elden Ring game on YouTube is ChaseTheBro. Every day apart from Friday and Saturday, ChaseTheBro conquers other Elden Ring players while using a variety of different character configurations, weapons, armor, spells, and more. He’s incredibly skilled, and it’s amazing to watch him take on two or three other players and end up in the lead. The YouTube live streams are then uploaded as videos, and sometimes even featured reels of the best PvP clips from their recent streams.
In addition, ChaseTheBro also uploads guides about powerful character formations focused on PvP – complete with details about the gear, spread stats, and strategies he uses while conquering other players. You will not find a better PvP YouTuber on the platform.
Best highlights: dull
Last but not least is SunlightBlade, a YouTuber who uploads FromSoftware’s Top 10 Monthly Games. He’s been spotlighting and narrating clips from Dark Souls, Bloodborne, and Sekiro for several years now, and he recently announced that he’s starting work on his first spotlight video on the first 10 Elden Ring.
In terms of what you can expect from SunlightBlade videos, it features clips from both PvE and PvP gameplay, as well as funny glitches or unique feats. You can expect to see everything from completing boss challenges to impressive PvP clips on the channel, so you should definitely subscribe.
