The Partizan is a spear in Dark Souls. 

Availability

Found in the Darkroot Garden. Past the fog door close to the hidden bonfire, hug the left wall until reaching a small nook. The Partizan awaits there, guarded by a Tree Lizard. Moving close to the Partizan will cause a Demonic Foliage to ambush the player upon leaving the nook.

Characteristics

Unlike most other spears, Partizan deals Regular Damage on its one and two handed R2 attacks, in addition to its standard thrusts on all other attacks. It is somewhat longer than the Spear, but shorter than the Pike.

Upgrades

Scaling Percentage Values

The following chart lists the scaling percentages when this weapon is fully upgraded. Be advised that:

• Scaling letters are not an accurate indicator of how a weapon scales, players should look at the percentage scaling of a weapon.
• Magic and Enchanted upgrade paths reduce Physical Damage while adding Magic Damage, splitting damage between two types. Strength and Dexterity scaling is drastically reduced while adding Intelligence scaling.
• Divine and Occult upgrade paths reduce Physical Damage while adding Magic Damage, splitting damage between two types. Strength and Dexterity scaling is drastically reduced while adding Faith scaling. Divine adds Divine Auxiliary and Occult adds Occult Auxiliary secondary damage types.
• Fire, Chaos, and Lightning upgrade paths remove all stat scaling and splits damage between two types. Chaos path adds Humanity Scaling.
• Raw upgrade path caps at Weapon Level 10 while drastically reducing physical damage scaling and adding slightly more base damage.
• Crystal upgrade path dramatically increases the base damage of weapons while rendering them unable to be repaired.
• For PvE purposes all weapons will be better on the Standard Upgrade path to +15. This is because the Split Damage of elementally infused weapons is not added together. The values are reduced separately when going through enemy defenses leading to less damage in practice due to the values of each damage type being smaller.
