How to Two-Hand weapons in Elden Ring Nightreign
If you want to two-hand any weapon in Elden Ring Nightreign, you'll likely find that trying to do it is a lot more challenging than you might admit if you don't know the specific button combinations needed to access it. Having a two-handed weapon does come with its added benefits. You deal a lot more damage while two-handing a weapon and deal more Poise Damage if you have a good Poise stat. Poise Break lets you break your enemies more often, for example. You also get a different moveset using two-handed weapons, but your attacks do become slower, opening you up for attacks far more often. So be sure to weigh the positives and negatives of each two-handed weapon type, and don't two-hand something like a shield, for example. But with the explanation out of the way, let's go into how it works. How to two-hand in Elden Ring Nightreign https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MqLM4MV0Fls&ab_channel=BANDAINAMCOEurope To two-hand any weapon in-game, you need to hold the interact button and press either the left or right attack button while the interact button is held down. On a PS5 controller, you need to hold down the Triangle button while pressing R1 for your right weapon and L1 for your left weapon. On Xbox, this would be holding down the Y button while pressing either RB or LB, and lastly, for PC players, this is holding down Alt and clicking the left or right mouse button. You can change which buttons these controls are associated though, in the Key Bindings settings menu, but for the most part, these are the standard controls if you haven't tinkered with anything. As for when is the best time to use two-handed weapons, I find it's always best to use them in a run when you have been very unlucky with finding good weapons or Smithing Stones to upgrade your current kit. If you have a low-strength weapon, using two-handed is a way to deal more than the base damage and give you and your team a fighting chance to survive more days that pass. Equally, some players might prefer the chance to drain more HP with heavy attacks and break opponents more easily, or prefer the style of fighting overall. So hope the explanation helps you!
