LocationTwin Maiden Husks at Roundtable Hold

Starting Site of Grace: Table of Lost Grace

Before you go

Reach Roundtable Hold through Melina's invitation while resting at a grace. Once you have visited, use its separate icon on the map to travel back; it is not a building reached by riding across Limgrave.
From the central table, take the passage toward the Twin Maiden Husks and find the two seated figures in their small chamber. Use their regular purchase menu, rather than one of the separate bell-bearing shops.
Buy Battle Axe for 800 runes. No bell bearing or boss remembrance is needed for this stock.

With Standard affinity, physical damage leans toward Strength, with a smaller Dexterity contribution. Heavy emphasizes Strength and Keen shifts the emphasis toward Dexterity; neither the name nor the matching starting D letters mean the two attributes contribute equally.
Requires 12 Strength and 8 Dexterity, weighs 4.5 and has a normal critical rating of 100. Two-handing meets its Strength requirement at 8 Strength, so every starting class can use it without spending levels, although some need both hands.
Comes with Wild Strikes. Hold the skill for repeated swings, then use a light or heavy attack for its finisher. Each repeated use costs 2 FP, with 10 FP for the light finisher or 15 for the heavy finisher. Leave stamina to dodge instead of holding the attack until the bar is empty.
Deals Standard physical damage and has no innate bleed. Its ordinary axe heavy attacks can be charged for a stronger hit; Axe Talisman helps those charged attacks, while Shard of Alexander applies to direct Wild Strikes hits.
Can use compatible Ashes of War and upgrades with Smithing Stones to +25. Grease or a weapon enchantment can be applied with Standard, Heavy, Keen or Quality affinity; elemental and status affinities prevent ordinary weapon coatings.
Hero starts with one. The Twin Maiden Husks sell another for 800 runes, so a Hero can obtain a second copy for paired axes in the same journey without relying on a random enemy drop.
