How to Wield Weapons in Two Hands
By Brendan Graeber, Hannah Hoolihan, Brian Barnett, +28 more
In Elden Ring, you can equip two different armaments to your main (right) hand and off (left) hand, allowing you to strike with weapons, cast spells, fire bows, and block with shields. However, it's possible to two-hand a weapon in Elden Ring to increase your power, activate different weapon skills, and handle items like bows.
By pressing left or right on the D-Pad, you can cycle between equipped main-hand and off-hand weapons, but to wield a weapon in both hands requires a bit more work.
To 2-Hand a weapon or other armament, hold the Y button on Xbox, Triangle on PlayStation, or E on PC, and then press the attack button for the armament you wish to use in two hands (RB/R1 or right click for main-hand weapons, LB/L1 or left click for offhand weapons). When done correctly, this will shift your chosen weapons into both hands, putting the other on your back until you use the same method to switch back to using two different armaments.
When wielding a weapon in two hands, it will deal more damage and have its requirements slightly reduced, allowing you to make better use of a weapon you normally couldn't use effectively in one hand. This will also ensure the weapon skill you use will be from the chosen weapon you are 2-handing, rather than parrying or casting spells with your off-hand.
Note that when riding on Torrent, you will automatically wield your right-hand armament in both hands, allowing you to strike on either side of your mount depending on if you press the left or right bumper/trigger.

Feb 25, 2022 · Most characters begin the game wielding a weapon in one hand and a shield in the other. The main exception is the Warrior, who does own a shield but begins with a Scimitar equipped to each hand. You can switch out your character's equipped items in the Equipment menu. Two handing your weapon is not the same as dual wielding.
