Pest's Glaive is a Halberd in Elden Ring. It is a mid-game find.

The Pest's Glaive is made from a hard, sharpened shell and wielded by the pests who emerged from the Swamp of Aeonia, an uncanny design that men may recognize as a sign of the pests' keen intellect but never understand. Kindred of Rot drop it at a low rate, with two easily farmed in front of the Church of the Plague in Caelid and more inside the Grand Cloister. While held in an active hand it slightly raises non-physical damage negation. It is light at 7 weight, scales evenly with Strength and Dexterity, uses the slam-based variant of the halberd moveset, and accepts Ashes of War. It suits a quality character who wants a light halberd.

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 light quality halberd that sweeps with Spinning Slash and wide strikes while giving a small boost to elemental defense.

Stats	Strength about 55 and Dexterity about 45, Vigor 50, Mind about 30, Endurance about 25
Affinity	Quality for an even Strength and Dexterity spread, or Keen for a Dexterity build.
Ash of War	Spinning Slash, its default, for groups; a status skill such as Chilling Mist adds buildup.
Talismans	Shard of Alexander, Rotten Winged Sword Insignia, Millicent's Prosthesis

Notes

"Glaive made from a hard, sharpened shell. Wielded by the pests who emerged from the Swamp of Aeonia. Slightly increases non-physical damage negation. Though men might recognize the keen intellect of the pests evidenced by this spear's uncanny design, it will never be understood by them."
