Crescent Axeis a Greataxe and one of the available Weapons in Dark Souls 2. Crescent Axe is a bronze greataxe featuring a distinctive crescent-shaped blade and an extended handle for increased reach. Upgrading with Twinkling Titanite to +5 enhances its potency. Despite its classification as a greataxe, the Crescent Axe exhibits a swift moveset typical of regular axes

A bronze greataxe with a crescent shaped blade.

Its long handle gives the weapon great reach. One senses that this axe was once imbued with a sacred power, but only traces of it remain.

Perhaps those who blessed this axe are no longer with us. 

How to get Crescent Axe in Dark Souls 2

• Treasure from Brightstone Cove Tseldora: Near Weaponsmith Ornifex there is a door guarded by a red lizard. Through this door and behind a bookshelf, there is a room with a spider that also hides the chest, containing the axe and Soul Vortex.
• Drop from the Kobolds at Aldia's Keep entrance.

DS2 Crescent Axe Hints and Tips

• Upgraded with Twinkling Titanite to +5.
• Although classified as a greataxe, the Crescent Axe has the moveset of a regular axe class weapon; this makes its swings very swift for a weapon of its length. In addition, the Crescent Axe's 2H running attack is the halberd's spinning attack, and it's second 2H attack seems to be unique
• The Crescent Axe wis a sweetspot weapon. If an enemy is struck by the handle, they will only receive 50% damage.
