To dual wield any weapon in Elden Ring Nightreign, you first need to find another weapon of the same type. For instance, if you’re using a Greatsword, you will need to find another Greatsword. You could use two different weapons, but it will result in regular attacks instead of unique combos. Therefore, to properly dual-wield, you need weapons of the same type. Once you have your two weapons of the same type in your inventory, follow the steps given below:

Press the pause button and head over to the Equipment tab. This is the second tab from the left.
Under the Equipment tab, you will see four different rows. Each of these rows corresponds to a different slot. The first two rows here correspond to the left and right hands, respectively. Place the first weapon in the first slot of the first row. Next, place the second weapon in the first slot of the second row. This will place the weapon in your left and right hands, allowing you to dual-wield.
