Gargoyle Bident is a weapon in Dark Souls 2.
A two-pronged spear that imitates a weapon mentioned in an ancient text.
Gargoyles are said to guard castles and forts from ill fortune, and they have appeared in many forms in all the great lands throughout history.
Some of them are so meticulously crafted that they look as if they might come to life.
Acquired From
- Trading Belfry Gargoyle Soul + 1500 souls with Straid of Olaphis
Hints and Tips:
- Upgraded using Petrified Dragon Bone to +5
- Shares moveset with Stone Soldier Spear
- Has the best STR scaling of all spears.
- At 40 STR and +5 has AR 368. The highest of all spears as of Regulation 1.08.
- Slightly longer than some spears.
- Deals the most damage near the beginning and midpoint of its stabbing animation
- The other end of the spear bears a striking resemblance to a miniature version of the Gargoyle Tail Axe from Dark Souls 1.

Why the hell does this drop from A to E in scaling when infused with lightning??

Counter damage here is incorrect; this page says 130 but it's actually 140 ingame.

Seems to be a reference to the Lance of Longinus from Evangelion.
Followed by the Saint Bident in DS3.

The end of the bident actually is supposed to be a homage to the DS1 Gargoyle Halberd not the tail axe

your page would be way cooler and more readable if you changed this fkn black bg. cant even see the image of the weapon. i avoid your wiki precisely bc of its unreadablity and just stopped to post this.

This spear seems to work pretty good on the Fume Knight depending on what part of the spear hits him-was constantly chipping away 250-465 DMG at +5, 45 STR, & 40 DEX.

What it doesn't say is the weapon deals damage related to how far away the enemy is, poking it with the tip of the bident deals the most damage, being up against your target, with even maxed str and dex, only deals around 200 damage.

its a boss weapon not a normal weapon you buy or find on a enemy. only normal weapons can go up that high. based on what weapon your using . if your using a weapon that upgrades with twilight tighting knight or petrified dragon bones it can only go up at 5. if you are using a weapon that upgrades with tighting knight shards it well upgrade to 10 please change it to bident +5
