To two-hand a weapon in Elden Ring, hold the Triangle button (PlayStation) or Y button (Xbox) and simultaneously press R1/RB for the right hand or L1/LB for the left hand. This increases the weapon's damage and changes its move set, but you'll need to forgo using a shield or a second weapon in the other hand. This technique is especially useful for players focusing on raw damage output. Mastering two-handing can make combat more effective, especially against formidable foes.**
