Whether it\u2019s a Katana like Rivers of Blood, and Uchigatana, or a heavy-hitting Axe, two-handing is a great tactic to add to your arsenal. This is everything you need to know about two-handing in Elden Ring, including the benefits and how to pull it off on each platform. Contents How to two-hand weapons in Elden Ring &#8211; What does two-handing a weapon do in Elden Ring? &#8211; When should you two-hand weapons? &#8211; How to Two-Hand Weapons in Elden Ring To two-hand a weapon in Elden Ring simply follow the steps below for your platform of choice: PlayStation: Hold the Triangle button and press either the right or left d-pad button. &#8211; Xbox: Hold the \u2018Y\u2019 button and press either the right or left d-pad button. &#8211; PC: Hold down the \u2018E\u2019 key and click on the right or left mouse button. &#8211; What does two-handing a weapon do? Two-handing a weapon will increase the power of your attacks and give you an altered moveset to experiment with. While your attacks do become more powerful, you\u2019ll sacrifice the ability to use a shield or a secondary weapon when two-handing which means you\u2019ll need to be as precise as possible when you\u2019re dodging and parrying. When should you two-hand weapons? Due to the higher damage per hit that two-handing typically provides, it can be particularly useful when you\u2019re fighting one extremely tough enemy so we\u2019d recommend using it during boss battles. If you\u2019re in a fight where you need to block regularly, or up against multiple foes at once, however, sticking to one-handed combat may be better.
