The Crescent Axe is a greataxe in Dark Souls II.

In-Game Description

A bronze greataxe with a crescent-shaped blade. Its long handle gives the weapon great reach.

One senses that this axe was once imbued with a sacred power, but only traces of it remain.

Perhaps those who blessed this axe are no longer with us.

Availability

The Crescent Axe can be obtained in Brightstone Cove Tseldora in a chest near Weaponsmith Ornifex. Also, the Crescent Axe can be dropped from Kobolds in Aldia's Keep.

Characteristics

Despite being classified as a Greataxe, the Crescent Axe possesses a very diverse moveset, mostly borrowing from the Axe and Hammer classes, which makes this weapon capable of very fluid combos of varying vertical and horizontal swipes.

Additionally, its running two handed attack is that of a Halberd's moveset. It is the longest reaching axe in the game and upgrades with Twinkling Titanite. However, its damage-to-weight ratio is not as good as other axes, which may be an issue for some players.

When two Crescent Axes are powerstanced, they use the same Power Stance moveset as the Halberds.
