ELDEN RING
Swing a greatsword with your own arm and grab the hilt with the other hand to two-hand it.

Launch Kit
Get ELDEN RING running
Steps are general until you ; then the runtime step matches your headset.
-
Set your VR runtime
Pick your OpenXR runtime: the Meta Horizon Link app for Link or Air Link, Virtual Desktop's VDXR for Virtual Desktop, or SteamVR for Index, Beyond and Pico. The creator supports SteamVR too; if a later step says "start SteamVR or your VR runtime", this runtime is enough and you can skip SteamVR.
General step from us -
Install ELDEN RING (Steam)
Install it and launch it once in flat mode to finish first-time setup, then quit. The creator says it needs Game exe 2.6.2.0 (patch 1.16.2) or 2.7.1.0 (patch 1.17.1).

Stuck?
Offline only: online play with the mod risks a permanent ban, and multiplayer is not supported
Reported on the creator's page or the linked sources. Known issue
Mounted riding (Torrent) camera offset is still a bit buggy
Reported on the creator's page or the linked sources. Known issue
Only verified on two game builds; other builds may leave first person and combat disabled
Reported on the creator's page or the linked sources. Known issue
Developed mainly on Quest 3 with Touch Plus; other controllers rely on community reports
Reported on the creator's page or the linked sources. Known issue
Black screen in the headset
This mod uses OpenXR. Check the active OpenXR runtime matches how you connect (the Set your VR runtime step), then start Link or Virtual Desktop before the game. General tip from us
Controllers don't show up
Start Link, Virtual Desktop or SteamVR before the game, and make sure the controllers are awake before launch. General tip from us
Stutter or low frame rate
Lower the in-game resolution or render scale first, then shadows and volumetrics. Close overlays you don't need. General tip from us
The mod didn't load at all
Recheck the game version against the creator's page; a game update is the most common cause. Then reinstall the mod files. General tip from us
