Old Knight Halberd is a weapon in Dark Souls 2
"An undated halberd.
Wielded by a warrior from a time so ancient that there exists no record of his endeavors. Has extremely low durability. Sometimes, just as a thing falls to pieces, it unleashes its last flash of great power..."
Acquired From
- Treasure pickup on the aqueduct that connects Heide's Tower of Flame to No-Man's Warf. Run until you meet the first Old Knight and, after defeating it, continue straight ahead instead of down the stairs and find the item on a hidden corner.
Hints and Tips:
-This weapon may seem very viable for dex builds, but notice it's incredibly low durability.

Parameter Bonus: Strength, Dexterity,Magic, Fire, Lightning and Dark bonuses - The scaling multiplier applied to the [Attack: stat]. Scaling quality is from highest to lowest as follows: S/A/B/C/D/E.
The higher the player's [Str, Dex, Mag, Fire, Light] stat, the higher the [Attack Bonus: Stat] is (found on the player status screen). The higher the scaling letter, the higher the percent multiplier applied to the [Attack: Stat].
This resulting bonus damage is added to the base physical damage of the weapon and is shown in the equipment screen in blue numbers as a "+ X".
Durability: The weapon's HP, when the durability hits 0, the effectiveness of its attacks become weakened to the point of almost uselessness. When an items durability is low, a message will come up saying "Weapon At Risk!" at this point the weapon does not perform at it's best.
Weight: How much the item weights when equipped.
Stability: How well the player keeps stance after being hit
Attack Type: Defines what kind of swing set the weapon has.

AnonymousThis thing should be an early version of the Black Knight Greataxe with the same moveset, and a strength weapon.

This doesn't look like a Halberd at all, It's more like a big double-blade Poleaxe/Battle axe than a halberd, Halberds have both an axe blade for chopping and a pointed spike for thrust attacks, This thing purely has two big axe blades, Think it's safe to say it's more a double-bladed poleaxe or a big and long battle axe than a halberd

How this giant axe/halberd scale with DEX, and the Old knight Pike scale with STR?

Ds2 Devs:
Lets design massive Old Knight weapons that scale with strength. Lets make the gaint halberd scale with dex, and giant hammer not scale at all.

One of the best weapons for PvP in my opinion, the moveset and speed are great!

Why does attack type in my game (Sotfs) say slash/thrust? Are there any thrust attacks?
