I'm just starting Elden Ring and I keep doing the same thing! So annoying to start a boss fight and immediately use a flask, waste it, then almost definitely get hit while I'm standing right next to the boss just standing there chugging. I don't know what game I've actually played that even uses that button as attack. I can't even think of one. So it's weird that I keep just doing that for some reason.
@@gognoggler7326I played a lot Batman Arkham games and I struggle with the same as well,thanks to this guide however I can say it feels much better playing the game this way
I wish I had watched this video before, 200h+ into the game, my head hurts just thinking of changing these commands now. Thank you so much for another great video!
I had purchased Elden ring and for two months I refused to play the game because the controls didn’t feel right and buy the grace of god I found this video
I also switched the left & top face buttons to light/heavy attacks since DS1. I personally never understood how the left trigger was weapon skill & left button was block, I switched those immediately. I feel as if my control scheme is intuitive for people willing to have jump as right trigger, as you do. Buttons for Xbox: LT - Block LB - Skill RT - Jump RB - Item A - Dodge (I bound this to my left back-paddle, I have a PowerA enhanced Xbox controller) B - Interact X - Attack Y - Strong For two handing, I simply press B & Y with my thumb.
This setup is somewhat close to an optimal configuration, but I have to disagree with the right triggers since your index and middle finger naturally rest there. Square and Triangle really mess with manual aiming while manipulating the camera, but I really do prefer the L1 as being my roll/dodge. Blocking is typically less useful than dodging, so unless I plan to block/counter/parry through pve/pvp, I definitely swap L1 for my dodge, while L2 remains a weapon art/parry. I have a few other configurations for different circumstances, and my mind seems to handle the changes well, so on pure casting builds, it's a totally separate setup since light/heavy weapon art matters less than right/left casting. Glad someone offered their alternatives for the players starting out. The bear claw is really overrated and is more likely to cause arthritis/carpal tunnel from poor ergonomics.
Happy someone brought this up. The whole claw grip thing has given me issues with my hand, as I’m always running while in combat, and I normally dont lock on. I went ahead and ordered a Dualsense Edge (200 USD…), so what I will do is to use the back buttons for rolling/running. That way I can hold a good grip on the controller and still play the game with the normal button configurations. Cant believe its not being talked about more
I am going to try this out. I did switch one thing that feels better for me. I set jump to L2 and dodge to R2 just feels better in power stance which i mostly am. Thanks for the advice.
Will be hard to switch from the default ones even when i know they are carbage. Default run key at the B which in turn makes you unable to rotate the camera well lol
Awesome! Once you set it up just practice jumping around the world first, THEN practice on your mount, THEN practice jump attacking enemies! :) There are your COACHING drills... get it? lol
Makes sense. Older souls games never had jump before. Now only if theres a way to easily use ashes of war on your left hand weapon without needing to 2 hand it.
Thank you sir for the video. You set me on the path to also, customizing my personal gaming experience of this wonderful game! 😁 Having tried a ‘few’ various approaches to the controls myself. I would like to also, share my ideal setup for everyone as well. (I’m on PS4, so adjust accordingly.) Move: Movement - LS Backstep, Dodge Roll, Dash - Cross Jump - Circle Crouch / Stand Up - R1 Camera Controls: Movement - RS Reset Camera, Lock-On / Remove Target - L3 Switch Armament: Switch Sorcery / Incantation - D Up Switch Item - D Down Switch Right-Hand Armament - D Right Switch Left-Hand Armament - D Left Attack: Attack (RH & 2H Armament) - Square Strong Attack (RH & 2H Armament) - R2 Guard (LH Armament) - L2 Skill - L1 Use Item - R3 Event Action (Examine, Open, Etc.) - Triangle Additional Pouch Setup: Heal - HOLD Triangle and press D Up Focus - HOLD Triangle and press D Down Physik - HOLD Triangle and press D Left Summon - HOLD Triangle and press D Right Notes: The additional pouch setup saves on ‘accidentally’ using potions, since it requires additional inputs to activate. Items that are equipped vary upon the situation and or area, but the Spectral Steed Whistle and Lantern are always in my equipment. So, whenever I press R3, I summon Torrent in the world, and use the Lantern in a cave / dungeon.
I love this setup and took it, however square remained the same, circle is regular attack and triangle is heavy attack. Solves the menu issue too. Got used to it quickly, it plays better for sure!
As a Souls vet this controller layout causes me so much pain. Heck, as just video game vet in general, having any button other than X for jump pains me. Also, sprinting and jumping onto the triggers? That just seems like the most inefficient place to put such vital commands, since it adds an unnecessary delay to those actions. You do you, man, but the only thing I've ever changed from default was to swap square/triangle.
quite late, but at Elden ring there is already the delay saddly, and it does make some sense, as i use L2/LT to dash at Guilty Gear, so some ppl might also use it elsewhere
This was a massive help getting into my first Souls game. The only thing I kept was X for jumping. Feels too intuitive, and has easier flow between commands for me. Stood NO chance at the tutorial boss with default settings, lol.
I used your controls but I swapped left trigger and right trigger because holding left trigger while pushing the left stick up to run with the same hand felt really weird. Overall good video
Thanks a lot I just started the game (my first souls game) and I was so confused when I looked at the controls they were very weird and not normal but after watching this video I feel a lot more comfortable and better
I just switched my LB/L1 and B/O but the L2 would’ve been even smarter. I just never use power stance or shield so I never use that button. Great vid. And super obvious
I left mine default but I have 8bitdo Pro2 controllers with mappable back/bottom buttons so I mapped them to mirror the dodge roll run and block buttons. they duplicate the original buttons so they aren't extra commands, but I find it easier to press those back buttons in the heat of battle. I like my jump on the A key and the attack buttons make sense in default because then you can aim at the same time you're moving your characters view.
lol being used to Dark Souls (I've played a LOT of all three), the default Elden Ring configuration just makes sense to me. The only thing I changed was to make Y jump since it's A by default and I hate that.
Man! the button layout feels so bizarre! Thanks for this updated change, mine was slightly similar but I had “X” to jump… I like the triggers for action buttons. Great simple video. Thanks!
After following your settings i found something even better. Using a xbox controller: -Guard LB -Dodge and Dash LT -Jumping L (or what its called, where crouching was) With this you can dash and jump and still use the camera -Crouch is now on B so when you go out of menu you dont use your flask on accident -Use item RB -Skill RT -X attack -Y heavy attack -A interact
This vid is super interesting, but I’m too set in my ways. I just use two back paddles: Right paddle for run/dodge and Left paddle for target lock on/off. Huuuuge improvement in PvP since using paddles in this way.
I adopted this setup, but used my paddles to make sure my attack buttons were mapped as well, so I can keep camera movement going, roll and jump and attack while my thumbs never leave the analogs and the only time I move my fingers is for item use/incantations etc.
This is the best setting I've seen. Maybe if I had switched from the beginning, I could get used to it, but claw is law ;) I definitely struggled with it, but I can see switching someday.
feels good - but what makes me screaming is that elden ring reacts mostly at 40-50% using the right analog stick. so the resolution from slow walking to running is cut in half 😞
You have a Dualshock 4. The real answer is to get yourself the Back Button Attachment. It'll change how you play forever. But indeed what you're saying makes perfect sense if you don't have back buttons. That's how I used to map my buttons.
Really really good vid, thano you so much. But top for future setting videos, maybe you could show the settings with the explanation. That way its easier to copy the settings. 👍
Bless you for this. I've racked up almost 1000 hours since april playing on mouse and keyboard and decided today I was going to be a grown-up gamer and get a controller and it felt awkward as all get out with the default. Switched to these settings and IMMEDIATELY felt 100% more comfortable. The only thing I still struggle with is summoning Torrent from up in my pouch menu while moving, but with this I think I'll figure that out too.
Get a Xbox Elite Series 2 controller, it has 4 paddles at the back I have the top ones set to jump and sprint/dodge the bottom ones as L1/LB and R1/RB. The bumbers are set up as interact and use item thus I don’t have to remove my hands from the sticks other than for using the d-pad to select item.
I have some similar controls but I kept it a little simple. This is how I like to play. Running/Dodge: R2 Trigger Potions/Items: R1 Bumper Jumping: X Interact: Circle Triangle: Heavy Attack Square: Light Attack Block: L1 Bumper Skill/AoW: L2 Bumper
I just started playing a little bit of Elden Ring Today and my button settings are the exact same. I kept accidently pressing Square when I wanted to attack. The R1 R2 for attack just seemed awkward for me.
never played a souls game before this and i cant stand the fact that running hurts my hand. played the game for 30 hours now but will have to change thank you so much
I play on PC and I use the Steam Deck as a controller. If I didn't have that, I'd use my Steam Controller, but the Steam Deck's big advantage is its four highly customizable grip buttons. Two are jump and dodge/sprint, but I've got the other two as left-pouch and right-pouch (Usually crimson flask & torrent).
Your settings make a whole lot of sense. Dunno how much more efficient they would be for those who have been playing with the original settings for the past decade. They're kind of etched into the brain, merged with the very being so to speak. For those new to the franchise, your settings are probably the way to go through, as they seem pretty intuitive
i have a pc, today i just bought my first controller to play elden ring. it will take some time to get used to. your setting seems efficient I'm gonna try it
I actually set my xBox controller to the same as yours, but keeping the Y (triagle) and X (square) default, B (circle) and A (X) for heavy/light attack just because I can press Y and B for switching between one/two handed, pressing A+X (X + square) still effective though. With this setup, we lost the dash + dual wield attack because you'll have to hold the dash/dodge button for the dash happens, then press the attack (the same for dashing while guarding, but I think most of us are not doing it). Unless, the index finger is covering the two buttons so we can press the LB (L1) while holding LT (L2), or using middle finger for the LT (L2) and index finger for the LB (L1). It's just one of all the moves, and some of us can totally live without that move. The backstep + dual wield attack is still doable. So here, we're just trading off something for others. P/S: The LT, RT (L2, R2) should be placed under the controller, so we can use our middle finger to touch them =))
@@DungeonCoachGaming ahh man no worries. It was easy enough to follow your video and add the changes. Makes things a bit easier. I was getting confused when fighting with my trigger and bumper for attack. Just didn't make sense to me. Appreciate the video!
@Dungeon Coach Gaming are you able to change the control settings on this game in the option menu? I want to get this game but the control settings were not in my best interest. Please let me know. Thanks
Have you thought of a way to switch right(or left) weapons without stopping movement? I saw a suggestion to remap L3 or R3 to do the weapon swap, but it did some wonky stuff to my pouch slots. I haven't figured out a better solution yet.
@@DungeonCoachGaming here the configuration I use . Similar his Square : Weak attack Triangle: Attack Rb: Right armament Lb: Left armament Use Item : L3 Skill: R2 Sprint: L2 Examine: Left D pad Crouch: Right D pad Lock: on R3
Although I am one of the thousands of veterans at souls games out there... And even though I felt a little bit triggered for someone changing the padron... I have to fucking admit. This is great. I literally saw it and changed it immediately. Absolutely loved the idea hahahahhaha
Just start playing Eden Ring in 2024 and I saw your controller tips and tricks. Cheers Ps. I'm using a Xbox controller. What's the button for mount? A + Left stick?
Problem with this for me is not having use of the right stick when fighting multiple enemies. I dont want to be moving my thumb away from the stick during battle unless I'm rolling or jumping. I'm always locked on when I do that so it doesn't matter. The sprinting is annoying though. All they needed to do was bind crouch to some other input so you could sprint with l3 then it would be perfect. Maybe pressing L3+R3 at the same time to crouch since you don't use it that often, only when trying to be stealthy.
Played my first couple of hours today and I immediately felt I need to change the controls. Mostly because the way this game plays is similar enough to Monster Hunter that my brain constantly tries to use the wrong buttons for attacks. Basic controls seem....tedious to say the least.
Spent an hour modifying this dogs breakfast of a default keybind set without quite getting it to feel remotley intuitive or comfortable lol Your l2 and r2 rebindings cracked the code for me! The run/dodge button was foreign and felt janky on anything i had tried and having it on circle was legit the worst feeling bind ever and seeing the claw grip idea was large yikes, fromsoftware actually handing out arthritis to the masses... lol. Not to mention the circle being let go to hit x for jump attacks needs almost korean esports speed to avoid failing xD What sort of animal felt these were the best default bindings haha. Grow strong brother:) Inlakesh
it works but then i started dual weilding and it makes it very awkward swinging with both weapons as the button is right above the roll button. any thoughts on how to improve this?
why not take it a step further and have all movement controlled by the left hand? i.e. LB for jump, LT for roll/run, and assign RB to block or left hand weapon, RT to ash of war? In that case all movement (save for camera) is left hand, all attack is right hand
My biggest issue in this games was my dodge roll not working when I press circle. I just swapped it to L1 and it's no long registering my dodge roll as a run. Dodge roll should be on 1 of the shoulder buttons, no matter the layout you choose.
Dodge roll is kinda odd cause its dodge on release, has to be a quick tap, if there is abit of a delay then it doesnt wok cause it kinda goes into run mode, used to drive me nuts not working till I noticed this
yooo this is genius, im new to elden ring, so i don't have the preset binding memorized. I tried using the standard binds and it just felt so offffff. HOLD B For SPRRINTT HUH??
mine since DS1 (but for elden ring): LB Block LT Skill RT Interact/Run RB Estus A Jump (my favorite games are platformers, I couldn't put this in any other button) B Roll (I used the steam configuration to change these things, so I roll here, but run on RT) X Attack Y Strong Attack in DS1 I put parry and defense on LB (it was two different buttons in that game) but also, I had used the steam configuration to change LT to a aim downsights button, so he would automatically stop aiming when I stopped holding the button, and RT turned into a attack when holding it (but it was technically just a defending button)
Just a sum up for quick reference :)
LT - sprint
RT - jump
RB - skill
A - interact
B - use item
X - light attack
Y - heavy attack
thank you sm
Your amazing
Translate to ps5 pls
What would the buttons be for ps5 controllers?
@@Plxyb01Astr0 L2 sprint, r2 jump, r1 skill, x interact, o use item, square is light attack and triangle heavy attack
I realized that I constantly tried to press square to light attack and used up my potions as a result, so I really appreciated this!!

I have a few other configurations for different circumstances, and my mind seems to handle the changes well, so on pure casting builds, it's a totally separate setup since light/heavy weapon art matters less than right/left casting. Glad someone offered their alternatives for the players starting out. The bear claw is really overrated and is more likely to cause arthritis/carpal tunnel from poor ergonomics.

P/S: The LT, RT (L2, R2) should be placed under the controller, so we can use our middle finger to touch them =))
I almost got the same controls. thank you for the input. wanted to start eldenring with a good control setup
Is there nothing this man won't homebrew? IS NOTHING SACRED? :D
HEY You homebrewed your DESK!!!
Is there anyway you could addyour controller settings layout to steam for people to download?
I dont think that is an option! :(
@@DungeonCoachGaming ahh man no worries. It was easy enough to follow your video and add the changes. Makes things a bit easier. I was getting confused when fighting with my trigger and bumper for attack. Just didn't make sense to me. Appreciate the video!
A was jump on x box on bottom , X was the left attack just like you got,i will try that.
Thank you! I’ve been playing claw and my index finger feels like it’s about to fall off.
You're welcome! I hate having to do a claw set up too! lol
@Dungeon Coach Gaming are you able to change the control settings on this game in the option menu? I want to get this game but the control settings were not in my best interest. Please let me know. Thanks
I just started the game and maybe I'm impatient, but I don't like the control setup. So thanks, I'm going to give this one a whirl.
Have you thought of a way to switch right(or left) weapons without stopping movement? I saw a suggestion to remap L3 or R3 to do the weapon swap, but it did some wonky stuff to my pouch slots. I haven't figured out a better solution yet.
Yea I did think about this, but it was just clinky to be anywhere else :(
@@DungeonCoachGaming here the configuration I use . Similar his
Square : Weak attack
Triangle: Attack
Rb: Right armament
Lb: Left armament
Use Item : L3
Skill: R2
Sprint: L2
Examine: Left D pad
Crouch: Right D pad
Lock: on R3
Although I am one of the thousands of veterans at souls games out there... And even though I felt a little bit triggered for someone changing the padron... I have to fucking admit. This is great. I literally saw it and changed it immediately. Absolutely loved the idea hahahahhaha
Just start playing Eden Ring in 2024 and I saw your controller tips and tricks. Cheers
Ps. I'm using a Xbox controller. What's the button for mount? A + Left stick?
Problem with this for me is not having use of the right stick when fighting multiple enemies. I dont want to be moving my thumb away from the stick during battle unless I'm rolling or jumping. I'm always locked on when I do that so it doesn't matter.
The sprinting is annoying though. All they needed to do was bind crouch to some other input so you could sprint with l3 then it would be perfect. Maybe pressing L3+R3 at the same time to crouch since you don't use it that often, only when trying to be stealthy.
@5:24 “Combat mode - Combat mode”
OMFG - I straight lost it right here… OMG … trouble breathing…. 😂
Played my first couple of hours today and I immediately felt I need to change the controls. Mostly because the way this game plays is similar enough to Monster Hunter that my brain constantly tries to use the wrong buttons for attacks. Basic controls seem....tedious to say the least.
I recommend switching L3 to down to avoid accidental mount off
Spent an hour modifying this dogs breakfast of a default keybind set without quite getting it to feel remotley intuitive or comfortable lol
Your l2 and r2 rebindings cracked the code for me!
The run/dodge button was foreign and felt janky on anything i had tried and having it on circle was legit the worst feeling bind ever and seeing the claw grip idea was large yikes, fromsoftware actually handing out arthritis to the masses... lol.
Not to mention the circle being let go to hit x for jump attacks needs almost korean esports speed to avoid failing xD
What sort of animal felt these were the best default bindings haha.
Grow strong brother:)

How do u switch the weapons
Looks efficient
I'm adopting it. Been playing fighting games on top of it, so the light and heavy attack setup makes sense, thanks!
it works but then i started dual weilding and it makes it very awkward swinging with both weapons as the button is right above the roll button. any thoughts on how to improve this?
the roll button was switched to the consuming item button
Okay but how do u hold ur sword with yo hands ?
why not take it a step further and have all movement controlled by the left hand? i.e. LB for jump, LT for roll/run, and assign RB to block or left hand weapon, RT to ash of war? In that case all movement (save for camera) is left hand, all attack is right hand
becaues it uncomfortable to dash and jump at the same time that way
this would of been great for when i first started lol. i guess im to far gone in claw grip
I only swapped X with triangle, like how it was in DS3
So how do you manage your inventory while sprinting 😂
how do you left and right attack on the horse?
mhhh
My biggest issue in this games was my dodge roll not working when I press circle. I just swapped it to L1 and it's no long registering my dodge roll as a run. Dodge roll should be on 1 of the shoulder buttons, no matter the layout you choose.
Dodge roll is kinda odd cause its dodge on release, has to be a quick tap, if there is abit of a delay then it doesnt wok cause it kinda goes into run mode, used to drive me nuts not working till I noticed this
I was using LS for dash and dodge and RS for lock on 😭
yooo this is genius, im new to elden ring, so i don't have the preset binding memorized. I tried using the standard binds and it just felt so offffff. HOLD B For SPRRINTT HUH??
Great settings! Just bought the game and will be using it from the start! Thanks for the video! 🙂
Ri attack feels so wrong to me 😂
mine since DS1 (but for elden ring):
LB Block
LT Skill
RT Interact/Run
RB Estus
A Jump (my favorite games are platformers, I couldn't put this in any other button)
B Roll (I used the steam configuration to change these things, so I roll here, but run on RT)
X Attack
Y Strong Attack
in DS1 I put parry and defense on LB (it was two different buttons in that game) but also, I had used the steam configuration to change LT to a aim downsights button, so he would automatically stop aiming when I stopped holding the button, and RT turned into a attack when holding it (but it was technically just a defending button)
