How to get Gargoyle's Black Halberd in Elden Ring?

Elden Ring has a surprisingly long list of weapons with countless weird and wonderful special effects. 

From the biggest bosses to the weakest minions, players can use the deadliest methods to find fascinating vehicles in the weirdest places.

Gargoyle's Black Halberd is an elegant bronze polearm with a creepy black blade. Players can enjoy increased reach, powerful hits, and fun special abilities after acquiring this unique weapon.

Retrieving Gargoyle's Black Halberd in Elden Ring

Elden Ring features numerous bosses, only a percentage of which must be defeated to complete the game's main story. While they are not very important, every boss carries a few specific details that make them worth confronting.

To earn the Gargoyle's Black Halberd, players must take down the monster wielding it: Black Blade Kindred. The weapon is similar to the one used by the Valiant Gargoyles, but Kindred has given it the special touch that gives it its nickname.

Black Blade Kindred is an optional boss that can be found in Dragonbarrow. He sits in front of the door that is the entrance to the Bestial Sanctum. Defeat him and earn his unique weapon.

The Black Blade Kindred has around 12,500 HP and some attacks with almost comical reach. It's not the deadliest enemy in the game, but it's a significant threat. There are a few inexpensive strategies that players have found to make it easier to defeat him.

Its location is locked to the gate so long-range players can pot shots and run to weaken the enemy. Alternatively, they can attack the Beastial Sanctum and run.

Hide behind Gurranq Beast Clergyman and Kindred will forget the player's existence. While most of his attacks, especially his deadly roar, can break through walls, they won't bother the Beast Priest and can be safely avoided.

Whether in a straight fight or with stealth tactics, players will earn the Gargoyle's Black Halberd after knocking down this Black Bade Kindred. Players will also walk away with 88,000 Runes and Gargoyle's Blackblade for good measure.

Using Gargoyle's Black Halberd in Elden Ring

Players have different opinions about Gargoyle's Black Halberd. Some see it as an unfinished weapon devoid of ingenuity, but there are a few builds that make it a very dangerous tool.

This halberd requires 26 Strength, 10 Skills, and 22 Faith to use it effectively. Deals piercing damage along with Divine damage to create a unique combination.

Halber comes with the Spinning Slash skill that comes with various tools. Although it did a lot of damage and drew a wide arc, players were hoping for more from this weapon.

The best use of this weapon is paired with the Golden Halberd. The double swing requires high stats, but destroys health bars with incredible speed. To get the most out of this weapon, consider picking up and polishing the Golden Halberd.

Elden Ring has loads of great weapons and there's always a build to make something strong. Hunt the Black Blade Kindred to add this Halberd to your arsenal.
