Learn how to effectively two-hand your weapon in Elden Ring on the keyboard and unleash devastating attacks on your enemies.Two-handed weapons change the way you play the game, allowing you to deal more damage in exchange for defense. Instead of a shield, players are forced to rely solely on dodging. Two-handed weapons typically deal more damage, allow you to attack faster, and are a great way to subconsciously improve your dodging in the game.
How to Two-Hand in Elden Ring Keyboard.
First of all, how to equip a two-handed weapon in Elden Ring .
- If we play on PlayStation , we will only have to hold down the triangle button to open the inventory menu. Without releasing the triangle, we must press R1 or L1 to change equipment. Broadly speaking, the difference between one button or another is the arm. That is, if we have the weapon equipped on the right arm, we have to press the R1 button. Left side? Well, L1.
- The process on Xbox is exactly the same. Only the buttons change. In this case, we will hold down the Y button to open the inventory. Without releasing it, we will use LB/LT (left arm) or RB/RT (right arm) to equip the aforementioned two-handed weapon. Simple, right?
- On PC, things are a little different. It all depends on your keyboard setup and/or whether you’re using a controller to enjoy the FromSoftware experience. The basic setup says to hold down the E button and right-click or left-click .
What is the purpose of equipping a two-handed weapon in Elden Ring?
Of course, the main purpose of this change is to increase our attack power at the expense of our defense . In reality, there is no exact guide on how we should use a two-handed weapon, the best combos or the combat system. My main advice is that, when you are going to make the change, try how it works.
Going into the world without knowing what the attacks are, how the combat style changes and/or what your new possibilities are is not a good idea . Also, you should keep in mind that the absence of a shield (or any other support item) reduces your defensive options. Dodging is just as important, if not more so, than before.
