Elden Ring: The Art of Dual-Handed Weaponry

 Jul 24, 2024

Certain weapons may be used by Elden Ring with two hands, which will boost the weapon's damage output. We'll cover all you need to know about utilizing a simple button press to wield two-handed weapons in Elden Ring in this brief tutorial.

How to Use Elden Ring's Two-Hand Weapons

In order to use two hands with weapons in Elden Ring, you must first remove your off-hand item. To do this, push the left D-pad, which should store any equipped shields or off-hand items. To two-hand a weapon, all you have to do is press and hold the Y/Triangle Button while pressing the Left and Right Bumpers once you've hidden that item in your inventory.

  • Press and hold Triangle/Y and press the Right and Left Bumper buttons

When you use a weapon two-handed, you may do more damage with it but lose the ability to deflect incoming strikes. If damage output is your main priority, employing the two-handed version of it might be worthwhile since it will provide you a 50% increase while wielding weapons.

That is all there is to know about Elden Ring's two-handed weaponry. Utilize it as you see fit, but if the battle demands that you block some damage, it would be wiser to try leveling up the weapon rather than attempting the two-handed, dodge method.

Elden Ring is now playable on PC, Xbox, and PlayStation.
