Tarnished, ready to unleash the full potential of your weapon? Two-handing is a crucial skill in Elden Ring, offering significant advantages. But how do you actually do it? It's simple!
For PlayStation, hold Triangle and press either R1 (Right Bumper) to two-hand your right-hand weapon or L1 (Left Bumper) to two-hand your left-hand weapon. On Xbox, hold Y and press RB or LB respectively.
Why two-hand? Primarily, it dramatically increases your Strength stat, allowing you to wield weapons you might otherwise be unable to. This opens up a whole new world of powerful armaments! Additionally, two-handing typically increases your damage output and alters your moveset, often resulting in more powerful attacks and stance breaking potential.
Experiment with different weapons and stances. Two-handing a colossal sword is a vastly different experience from two-handing a smaller weapon, each offering unique tactical advantages. So, go forth, Tarnished, and embrace the power of two hands!
