Dragon Halberd is a massive weapon in the Elden Ring that belongs to the Halberd category. This is a weapon of choice for Strength and Dexterity builds as it scales amazingly with these stats.
A weapon of choice for the Dragonkin Soldiers, this halberd represents their futile attempt to gain immortality. In this guide, we will help you acquire the Dragon Halberd in Elden Ring, as it can only be obtained by defeating a well-hidden boss in the game.
Dragon Halberd Location
Dragon Halberd can only be obtained as a reward for defeating the Dragonkin Soldier in Siofra River.
From the entrance of the Sifora River, go straight until you come across another elevator hidden inside a room. Use this elevator to reach the Siofra River Bank Site of Grace.
Go northeast from this grace until you come across a broken pillar with an ancestral spirit enemy on it. Beware, as it uses powerful arrows to hurt you from afar.
Use your ride Torrent to climb the broken pillar and find a teleporter behind it. Use this teleporter to reach a small river on the top. There is no other way to access this area safely.
You will notice a Dragonkin Soldier sleeping near the waterfall. As you approach it, the fight will start. The best way to defeat this enemy is by targeting its legs. Make sure to use the Dragonwound Grease and avoid Lightning attacks, as it is immune to them.
Once the Dragonkin Soldier is defeated, it will drop the Dragon Halberd. This is a one-time drop per playthrough, so be careful about losing it.
