Golden Halberd is one of the strongest weapons in Elden Ring that can spell trouble for your enemies with the right build. What makes this weapon fearsome is its holy damage. As most enemies and bosses don’t carry around holy resistance, this makes it easier for it to penetrate their defenses. But this weapon is not easy to wield. You can get it quite early by beating the Tree Sentinel. It required you to have the following stats Strength 30, Dexterity 14, and Faith 12. Once you manage to level up your strength the reward will be worth it. So in this guide let us take a look at the best build to go with the Golden Halberd in Elden Ring.
