Sprinting will be perfect for going down the Rold Route if you're not interested in fighting your way through.
On PlayStation controllers, hold down the Circle button to sprint or the B key for Xbox users. The standard input for the sprint on PC is Space Bar.
Tapping the sprint button for each platform will let players backstep or roll dodge depending on their character's directional movement. Whichever way you use it, be mindful of the stamina bar so that you don't find yourself in a sticky situation without a way to avoid damage.
Elden Ring is available on PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X/S, and PC.
