So.hypothetically you could have a formation of pike men each with two long spears/pikes/halberds. I could see a gladiator wielding two short spears being entertaining and potentially deadly.this is never going to be a common skill. Potential, yet still impractical use cases: Do I really need to keep going? I could probably think of more reasons.Generally spears are used in formation, having two awkward weapons in formation.Your weapons would be slow, you're moving more mass with a single hand/arm.Spears are long and hard to control with a single hand.
Spears are heavier than your standard one handed weapon (with the exception of the short spear).There aren't a whole lot of merits to using two spears, in fact I can think of exactly two situations where it might be useful. With enough training, you can use anything as a deadly weapon, but if you have better options, you might as well save yourself the time and train with those instead. So these are three different options, all of which are much more well-known and battle-tested than dual spears. With dual spears, you have to constantly worry about parrying, whereas with a shield you can focus more on attacking. They're pretty much the only defense against arrows, and they let you close in on an enemy spearman without worrying so much about getting stabbed. It's also nice to know that if you're in an enclosed space, you have a way to attack someone who comes from behind. This way, you can parry with the knife without worrying about hitting into your spear, and if anyone gets past your spear you can easily stab them. Knives are relatively short, which means they can be moved quickly without knocking into things. In this case, it may help to use a knife. If someone gets past one spear, they've probably gotten past the other spear. If you have two spears, you're essentially doubling down on strengths and weaknesses.
If you are using two one-handed spears, someone with a two-handed spear should be able to out-range you, and swat away your one-handed spears with their added power. With a longer and more agile spear, you can keep people further away from yourself.
With both hands, you can have greater control over a longer spear. You may be able to fight with dual spears, but if you consider what better options there are, then you quickly realize you're only limiting yourself.

And that’s how to dual wield in Dark Souls 3.One of the best things to consider when deciding what weapons to use is if there is any better option. Beware, having multiple weapons equipped adds (a lot of) weight and will slow you down. If you’ve also equipped a shield or spell casting item that you’d like to use, quickly press left on the D-pad to switch between them and your primary weapon.Ĭongratulations, you’re dual wielding. And, use the rightmost button on the D-pad (for controller) or the right arrow key (for keyboard) to switch to your right-hand weapon of choice. Use the leftmost button on the D-pad (for controller) or the left arrow key (for keyboard) to switch to your left-hand weapon of choice. Once you’ve done that, exit the inventory. Equip the weapon/s you want to use in both your right and left hand. You’ll notice that there are two rows for weapons-a top row (weapons for the right hand) and a bottom row (weapons for the left hand). Advertisements How to Dual Wield in Dark Souls 3īegin by opening the equipment tab. Try your own combo and see what works for you. There are some weapons that are worth dual wielding-such as the Ringed Knight Greatswords, Moonlight Greatsword, and Twin Princes’ Greatsword. It only increases strength and poise damage, at the cost of your stamina and movement-but that doesn’t mean you shouldn’t do it. Is Dual Wielding Worth it?ĭual wielding won’t increase your damage or attacks speed. In contrast, Light Armor Sets will make your movement faster, but provides less protection than both Medium and Heavy Armor Sets. Having a Light or Medium Armor Set equipped will help you avoid enemies swings and spells. Holding a weapon with both hands will make your attacks 1.5x stronger than single handed swings-but you can’t parry, so you’ll need to rely on dodges to evade attacks. Having the relevant stats to wield your weapon will come in handy, or your attacks will be about as effective as slapping a giant with a rubber chicken.
