After many requests, suggestions, and comments in regards to obtaining a Black Knight Halberd, I decided to do just that. Not only do I obtain a Black Knight Halberd and meet the minimum level requirements in ten minutes, I take it two steps further by meeting the level requirements to one-hand this weapon, and upgrade it to +5 in close to twenty five minutes. See below for a timeline of my progress.
00:01 - Character creation.
00:15 - Undead Asylum.
02:50 - Firelink Shrine.
03:25 - Passing through New Londo Ruins.

04:25 - Dodging Drake.
05:07 - Lighting a Bonfire.
05:20 - Black Knight encounter.
06:42 - Black Knight backstabbed off the cliff.
06:50 - Obtained Black Knight Halberd, and Grass Crest Shield.
07:26 - Back through the Valley of Drakes.
07:37 - Dodging Drake #2.
08:30 - Heading into Blighttown.
09:46 - Obtaining some soul shards.
10:38 - Consuming soul shards and levelling up.
10:58 - Minimum level requirements met for the Black Knight Halberd.
11:02 - Reversed hollowing.
11:45 - Skirmish with Mildred.
13:09 - Summoning Mildred for the Quelaag boss fight.
13:54 - Playing "follow the leader".
15:05 - Dealing the final blow to Quelaag.
15:25 - Ringing the second (first) bell.
15:56 - Through the Demon Ruins.
17:07 - Obtaining the Gold-Hemmed armour set.
18:01 - Ceaseless Discharge gets punched to death.
18:34 - Level requirements to one-hand the Black Knight Halberd met.
18:41 - Heading for the Great Hollow.
19:18 - Entering the Great Hollow.
19:39 - Locating five Crystal Lizards.
20:27 - Titanite Slab drop from a Crystal Lizard.
21:09 - Ten Twinkling Titanite.
21:14 - Returning to Blighttown.
21:25 - The journey back to Darkroot.
23:20 - Passing through the Valley of Drakes. Again.
24:05 - Drake Dodging #3.
24:46 - Talking about death triggers for Anastacia, and passing the Darkroot Basin bonfire.
26:25 - Reinforcing the Black Knight Halberd to +5.
26:43 - Attack Rating of 478.
27:05 - Damage test for the Black Knight Halberd +5.

Hey, just a little tip; if you summon a phantom but then immediately go through the boss fog, you can avoid the health boost to the boss. So you can have Mildred with you and still have the boss at the normal health amount.

@Ayriak 11 лет назад

A Great Scythe +15 can overtake a Black Knight Halberd +5 quite easily, and it doesn't take much longer to do. 14 Strength, and 40 Dexterity (minumum of SL32 for any starting class) will put the Great Scythe on an attack rating of 474, adding Charcoal Pine Resin will bring the attack rating up to 554, and Gold Pine Resin will bring the attack rating to 624, add the bleed damage to that, and you have a halberd type weapon that outclasses a Black Knight Halberd +5.

The fastest way to get to him is out the door where Havel is located. Just wait until Havel comes up the stairs close to you then jump and roll and make for the door. Havel WILL follow you outside but will turn around as soon as he reaches whatever the range limit they have for him. Just don't stand near the door. if you keep to the left you will quickly get to the place with the Black Knight. The weapon is just crazy against anything classified as a demon.

@Ayriak 11 лет назад

At a rough estimate, it takes me about 45 minutes to upgrade a Great Scythe to +15 from starting a new game, and twenty minutes extra isn't a great deal when you've got a very useful weapon like that for PvE, and PvP. It takes a little longer than getting the Gravelord Sword, or a Black Knight weapon sure enough, but that's fine with me. Can't say I agree on a Black Knight Halberd being easier to use than a Great Scythe, the others, maybe. It comes down to experience with each weapon I suppose.

@InEpicinium 11 лет назад

I am in complete awe right now, i feel like a total noob watching this guy do the early "Suicidal Runs."

@MightyThews 9 лет назад

Its more of a Guandao than a Halberd. Mistranslated or intentional for Western audiences? A Guandao is the weapon used by the legendary Warrior, and Chinese deity, Guan Yu! Huge reason I prayed it would drop when fighting these buggers!

@dan240393 9 лет назад

Diamond Dog The correct "English" word for it would be "glaive". I'm guessing its an error caused by the fact that all bladed pole weapons (that aren't spears) are just "naginata" in Japanese so translating correctly into the myriad of different European names would require a fairly decent knowledge of medieval weaponry that the average translator probably doesn't have.

Black Knight Greatsword doesn't do as much as the Halberd and is slower, plus it requires higher stats I believe, and it has better scaling.

Gravelord Sword, Elite Knight Armor and Crest Shield, from there onward it's a cake party!

@le_le99 7 лет назад

You are awesome...i m really impressed

@Atiklyar 9 лет назад

As a speedrunner, I see so many little time saves that could make this a LOT faster. Quelaag is way faster without Mildred, as the BKH can stunlock her with its downward attack. It MIGHT be faster to kill Ceaseless normally, but I would have to test that, as you're doing a lot more damage in the actual BKH route than you would be here. And, as you mentioned, the Blightdown drop would shave at least a minute off. Still a pretty fast way to become game-breaking.

I'll test that out later. Thanks.

@TheKeeperoftheCreed 4 года назад

@Raptor747 11 лет назад

Elemental weapons split their damage into two categories, which means that each of those attack ratings has to go through each of the enemy's respective defenses. Thus, less damage dealt overall than an equivalent, normally upgraded weapon. Plus normal weapons can be enchanted/buffed, which makes a big difference. The tradeoff is that elemental weapons can be easily upgraded and have no stat requirements beyond base for maximum effectiveness.

Hey man. Thanks for the awesome tip. Just something that I noticed. I killed the black Knight 15 times in a row with the first hit (he fell off) and I didn't get the halberd. The next time I killed him just stabbing in the back and I did get the halberd. Maybe you get more chance to get the item if you take an amount of life from him before making him fall from the edge. Or killing him without making him fall. This game's awesome!!!

@bzonek 9 лет назад

Nope, there is 10 of them. And their spawn location is random, The place he showed and others as well. If you quit and reload they spawn again if they disapperad, but they won't respawn if you killed them already. Also in great hollow their spawn location is random (by random I mean random, but one of their spawn spot). So you can just stay on one of their spawn spot and quit/reload until you kill all 10 of them.
