I Love the Golden Halberd

[Flushing]

Ever since I had the stats to use the Golden Halberd it has been my go to weapon.

However, I am still in the early stages of the game. Three questions:

1. Is it useful through end game?
2. Are there better weapons with the same move set?
3. Is it worth getting the stats to one hand with it (I can only 2H with it for now)?

Thanks

1 - Yes, from start to finish, Golden Halberd is very good.
2 - No.
3 - Yes because you can use a shield or something else.

Thank you so much!

Same three question for the Shamshir

Almost all weapons in Elden Ring can carry you into end game if that's what you want to do.

You should pay attention to the stat scaling. Since the Golden Halberd scales highest with strength it will always benefit you to increase your strength to continue to increase the damage. If you don't use a shield, it will always be better to two hand it. If you are going to invest more in faith, try golden vow as a complementary spell.

I'd like to retract my answer to question #2.

In theory, a weapon you can buff yourself with magic will be better than pre-enchanted weapons, so, my answer is kinda biased since I relied on the GH a lot.

2 good non-enchanted halberds that comes to mind is Nightrider Glaive or Guardian's Swordspear.

Nightrider's has a similar moveset to GH, while Guardian's has a somewhat exotic slashing motion. Both can be buffed.

I'm no expert in the curved sword department, but I heard Scavenger's Curved Sword is pretty good.
