Sheathing your weapon in Elden Ring not only looks cool, but it also allows for some clever Skill management. Unfortunately, it’s not immediately obvious how to put weapons away and, for the most part, players will probably want to have a weapon ready to combat the next enemy no doubt waiting to ambush them. However, for the times you do need to sheathe a weapon, it’s good to know exactly how. Whether you’re playing on PC, PS5, PS4, Xbox Series X|S, or Xbox One, armed with a sword, shield, staff, or club, read on for how to sheathe weapons in Elden Ring.
How to sheathe your weapon in Elden Ring
To sheathe your weapon in Elden Ring, players must:
- On PS5 or PS4, hold Triangle and press L1 for the left hand or R1 for the right hand.
- On Xbox Series X|S or Xbox One, hold Y and press LB for the left hand or RB for the right hand.
- On PC, hold E and press Left-Click for the left hand or Right-Click for the right hand.
It’s a bit of a tricky combination of buttons to find in the middle of a battle, but once players get used to it, they’ll be quickly switching between right-hand and off-hand weapons like a pro.
How to hold weapons in your off-hand only in Elden Ring
To hold weapons in your off-hand only in Elden Ring, players must:
- Remove all right-hand weapons in the Equipment menu.
- Sheathe a right-handed weapon while having a weapon in your off-hand.
This mechanic is required for the times when players want to use the Weapon Skill of the off-hand weapon. Otherwise, the right-hand weapon overwrites it.
