- 88 Physical
- 52 Magic
- 52 Fire
- 52 Light
- 52 Holy
- 58 Crit Boost
- C Strength
- 23.5 Weight
2) Golem’s Halberd

This greataxe can be collected either from the Duelist enemies near the Colosseum in Leyndell (close to the West Capital Rampart Site of Grace) or by defeating the Duelist in the Sainted Hero’s Grave. It should be noted that this weapon must be obtained before defeating Maliketh, the Black Blade as the Duelists will disappear if he's defeated.
This weapon is extremely versatile and can be infused with both Ashes of War and Magic, augmenting its stats significantly. It also possesses the weapon skill of Endure.
