One of the easiest ways to ensure your melee weapon does more damage in Elden Ring<\/em> is to two hand it. <\/p>
While some melee weapons aren’t capable of being held with two hands, most of them are, which gives you an immediate damage boost at the cost of being able to use an item in your other hand. There are certainly pros and cons to two-handing a weapon in Elden Ring<\/a><\/em>, but whether you should or shouldn’t mostly comes down to how you’ve constructed your build. If you’re going for a pure Strength build<\/a> with a weapon like a greatsword or a scythe, then two handing the weapon might be the ideal route. But other builds that rely on certain weapon skills won’t benefit much from that style of combat. <\/p>
