How to get the Banished Knight’s Halberd +8 in Elden Ring

Getting the Banished Knight’s Halberd +8 grants players a relatively easy and likely significant upgrade to their arsenal in Elden Ring. There are two ways to get the weapon.

First, you can kill Edgar, an NPC at Castle Morne in the southern region of the Weeping Peninsula. On your way to the castle, you’ll meet Irina, who asks you to take a letter to her father, Edgar. He is in the northeastern parapet of the castle. You can either kill him where he sits or show him the Grafted Blade Greatsword received from the Leonine Misbegotten boss at the rear of the castle. That will send him north to Irina, who will, at this point, be dead. Killing him there will also award the Halberd.

If you choose not to kill Edgar at Castle Morne, the Halberd drops when he invades as Edgar the Revenger in the west of the Liurnia of the Lakes region, to the north of the Minor Erdtree there.

Starting from the Crystalline Woods site of grace at the western base of the Raya Lucaria Academy plateau, continue west onto the dry land with the Erdtree to the south. Continue toward it, past the Cuckoo’s Evergoal and into a grouping of large rocks with a small forest at their bottom. Shortly after arriving, Edgar the Revenger will invade.

He’s not the toughest invader, and beating him is a matter of spacing and timing. His health pool is fairly small, making an easier fight even simpler. The Halberd +8 he’s got hits hard, so counter-attack as he winds up his swings.

Edgar drops the Banished Knight’s Halberd +8 when killed, along with a Shabriri Grape, a Furlcalling Finger Remedy, and five Raw Meat Dumplings.

Be aware that adding this item to your inventory will automatically update your maximum weapon level to +8 for matchmaking purposes, meaning players without this high of a weapon level might not be able to cooperate with or invade you, and vice versa.
