How to Switch to a Two-Handed Weapon Stance in Elden Ring
Holding down the Y or Triangle button, then pressing either right shoulder or left shoulder buttons will convert a one-handed weapon into a two-handed weapon.
Using the Y (Triangle) button and then pressing RB or RT (R1 or R2) will set the two-handed weapon into a right armament. This means using the right shoulder or right trigger buttons will attack.
If you want to use a left armament, simply press Y (Triangle) and then LB or LT (L1 or L2). This allows you to attack with the left shoulder and trigger buttons.
