Elden Ring: 17 Tips & Tricks The Game NEVER Told You

6. Hold D-Pad Directions To Reset Item Cycles

A feature introduced in Dark Souls 3 to alleviate having to flick through so many items in that tiny corner D-pad window, holding a given direction will "reset" back to whatever you've put in the first slot of your Inventory's item allocation.

A Flask for healing in your first inventory slot, and a majorly offensive or distancing spell for your first Sorcery or Incantation. Easy.
