Gargoyle's Halberd is a Halberd in Elden Ring. It is found in Leyndell, Royal Capital, near the end of a run.

Gargoyle's Halberd is a bronze halberd wielded by Valiant Gargoyles, its missing parts mended with corpse wax into a patchwork of champions. It is dropped by the Valiant Gargoyle near the West Capital Rampart Site of Grace in Leyndell, Royal Capital, and cannot be obtained after the Erdtree is burned. It scales mainly with Strength, needs 26 Strength and weighs 12, which makes it one of the heavier halberds. It comes with Spinning Slash and accepts other Ashes of War and affinities. It suits a Strength character who wants halberd reach.

Skill

Spinning Slash costs 6 FP. The wielder spins the whole body to slash foes in a wide circle, and an additional input adds two more spins. Small weapons spin quickly, while greatswords, spears, halberds and other large weapons use a slower, sweeping version. The skill cannot be parried. It is the weapon's default Ash of War, so another can take its place.

"Skill favored by dexterous warriors. Slash foes as your body spins. Additional input allows for a follow-up attack."

Suggested Build

A Strength halberd that keeps enemies at the end of its reach, sweeping crowds with Spinning Slash and wide heavy attacks.

Stats	Strength to 60, then 80, Vigor 50 to 60, Endurance about 30 to 40, Mind about 10 to 25, Dexterity 10 at its requirement
Affinity	Heavy, which pushes its main Strength scaling.
Ash of War	Spinning Slash, its default, for crowds; Charge Forth for a thrusting charge.
Talismans	Starscourge Heirloom, Shard of Alexander, Rotten Winged Sword Insignia

Notes

"Bronze halberd wielded by Valiant Gargoyles. Just like the wielder, the missing parts have been mended with corpse wax, a patchwork of champions."
