The Gargoyle's Halberd is a halberd in Dark Souls.

In-Game Description

Halberd of the gargoyle guarding the Bell of Awakening in the Undead Church.
Perfectly standard bronze halberd without any special power.

Availability

This is a common drop by the Bell Gargoyles found as bosses in the Undead Parish and as non-respawning enemies in Anor Londo. However, the second gargoyle in Anor Londo always drops it since none of the gargoyles respawn. It is possible to farm this weapon by killing one of the guardian Gargoyle bosses at the Undead Parish; if it doesn't drop it, quit and reload to reset the boss fight. Repeat until you have obtained the number of halberds desired.

Characteristics

Statistically, the Gargoyle's Halberd has slightly higher base damage than a regular Halberd, but also slightly lower scaling, making both weapons roughly equivalent in terms of damage. This high base damage and low scaling makes it ideal for elemental upgrade paths, even more so than the other halberd-type weapons.

The Gargoyle's Halberd features a different moveset than the regular Halberd. The weak attack is a vertical chop followed by a swing. This can be beneficial in some situations, making certain foes easier to hit, but can be harder to use in confined spaces.

Despite its claim to be perfectly standard and offering no special power, it increases resistance to Poison, Toxic and Bleed.

As with other Gargoyle weapons or [Curse/Poison] bite rings, when equipped, it looks like it creates a small build-up of Poison, Toxic and/or Bleed, but this is not the case. See Buildup for an explanation of this effect.
