Syan's Halberd is a weapon in Dark Souls 2

"Replica of the halberd of the loyal knight Syan.
A meticulously-crafted, distinguished weapon.
Sir Syan was widely known as the kingdom's
most loyal knight, and when the Giants invaded,
he volunteered to lead the advance party,
but was slaughtered most dishonorably
The King commissioned replicas of Syan's
accoutrements and bestowed them to
promising knights, but not long after they
donned the armor did they thoroughly go mad. "

Acquired From:

• Dropped by the Syan Soldier wielding halberds in Drangleic Castle and Undead Crypt. Also drops from the Syan Soldier in the path from Heide's Tower of Flame to No Man's Wharf, but be advised that this enemy does NOT respawn

Hints and Tips:

• Has a unique set of attacks compared to other halberds, incorporating several moves from the spear attack set:
  • First 1H R1 attack is a spear thrust and the second hit follows the regular halberd pattern (which is also a thrusting attack)
  • First 2H R1 attack is a 2H spear R1 attack followed by the first halberd 2H R1 attack (an overhead slash)
  • 1H R2 is the standard Halberd attack pattern
  • 2H R2 is most akin to the alternate spear attack pattern (e.g. Partizan), first attack is a wide sweep, and the 2nd attack is a relatively fast follow up thrust.  Despite the weapon description. the first attack in the 2H R2 Combo is strike damage (similar to the spear attack) and is very useful against enemies vulnerable to that damage type (e.g. Ironclad)
  • Running attacks, rolling attacks and quickstep attacks maintain the standard Halberd attack pattern.  In particular, the two handed running/quickstep attack is a powerful spinning attack
• The halberd attacks are affected by the "sweet spot" mechanic, where damage is reduced if the handle of the weapon connects with the enemy.  However, due to the hybrid move set of this weapon, many of the R1 attacks are NOT affected by this mechanic, making it a more versatile weapon for players who don't want to carry a backup weapon
• Can attack with your shield raised.
• Upgraded with regular titanite.
