In-game description

A finely-crafted halberd intricately engraved with an ancient motif.

Given to knights who, whether by misfortune or misdeed, were forced to abandon their homes.

Most of these knights were sent to the fringes, where they were forced to start anew with only despair for company.

Where to find

Map pending
LocationStormveil Castle

Limgrave

Starting Site of Grace: Rampart Tower

Before you go

  • Reach Rampart Tower in Stormveil Castle.
  1. After defeating Margit, activate Stormveil Main Gate and speak to Gostoc in the room to the left. Take his suggested side passage along the cliff.
  2. Follow the ruined wall and rocks to Stormveil Cliffside grace. Climb the stone steps into the storage building above it.
  3. Go up the wooden stairs, watching for enemies throwing fire pots at the explosive barrels. Let a throw clear the barrels from a safe distance before climbing farther.
  4. Continue up the next stairs to the dark room on the right. The door can lock behind you, leaving you with a Banished Knight.
  5. Defeat the Banished Knight and collect the Rusty Key from the corpse. Return to the locked door on the floor below and open it.
  6. Climb the ladder, follow the outside route past the next Banished Knight and go up the tower stairs to Rampart Tower grace.
  7. From Rampart Tower, take the indoor stairs south of the grace down to the lower level. Look for the Banished Knight patrolling at the bottom with a halberd.
  8. Defeat that knight and check the dropped items. The halberd is a random drop, so return to the grace, rest, and repeat if you do not get it.

LocationRevenger's Shack

Liurnia of the Lakes

Starting Site of Grace: Revenger's Shack

Before you go

  • Progress Irina and Edgar's quest through Castle Morne, then return to Irina's body and speak to Edgar there.
  1. Meet Irina just south of Bridge of Sacrifice and agree to deliver her letter. Continue down the peninsula's main road to Castle Morne.
  2. Take the castle entrance lift, pass the courtyard enemies and climb its ladder to the ramparts. Follow the walls toward the northern tower where Edgar sits, and deliver the letter.
  3. Defeat Leonine Misbegotten on the beach behind the castle, then return to Edgar and finish his dialogue. Return north to Irina's body and speak to Edgar there before following the revenge route.
  4. Find Revenger's Shack in western Liurnia, north of the western Minor Erdtree. Approach the shack and its grace after Edgar has left Irina's body.
  5. Edgar the Revenger invades here. Defeat him to receive Banished Knight's Halberd +8. This is a guaranteed reward from the invasion.

Notes

  • Requires 14 Strength and 12 Dexterity, and weighs eight. Standard physical scaling favors Dexterity slightly. Heavy redirects physical scaling toward Strength rather than requiring a permanent mixed build.
  • Its regular thrusting attacks give it a different feel from halberds that open with downward chops. The sweeping heavy attacks cover a wider area; not every move deals the same physical attack type.
  • Charge Forth costs 16 FP and drives the weapon forward through repeated contacts into its finish. Keep the target in front of the halberd rather than expecting it to turn sharply around you.
  • Edgar's version is already +8 and has Spinning Strikes fitted. It is the same upgradable weapon, so its Ash can be changed rather than treating it as a separate unique halberd.
  • Receiving the +8 copy raises the character's recorded highest weapon-upgrade level for multiplayer matching. Putting it away or discarding it afterward does not lower that recorded level.
  • The normal knight drop is random, while Edgar's reward is guaranteed. Killing Edgar at Castle Morne ends his quest; completing the letter and revenge sequence gives the later invasion route instead.
  • Upgrade it with ordinary Smithing Stones to +25. Its critical rating is the normal 100.
  • Can use compatible Ashes of War. Grease or a weapon enchantment can be applied while using an affinity that allows weapon buffs; elemental and status affinities normally prevent those coatings.
