Dragonslayer Spear is a weapon in Dark Souls 2.
A ranseur forged from the soul of the Old Dragonslayer.
The spear of the knight known as the Dragonslayer was imbued with the power of lightning, and shattered the stone scales of dragons.
Strong attack unleashes its latent power.
Effect: lightning, special attack (strong attack)
Acquired From
- Acquired from trading 1500 souls and Old Dragonslayer Soul to Weaponsmith Ornifex.
Hints and Tips:
- Upgraded with Petrified Dragon Bone to +5.
- Strong attack shoots a orange colored lightning spear at the cost of 10 durability. (5 with Bracing Knuckle Ring +2)
- Unlike the counterpart from Dark Souls, two handed strong attack also shoots lightning, and it shoots twice as fast.
- In order to leave the highest damage output, land the two handed strong attack by having the spear tip and projectile hitting the target simultaneously.
- Can't be infused.
- Power stance strong attack does NOT shoot two projectiles in the same manner as Spitfire Spear.

AnonymousWhat's the point of the hint and tips giving the attack rating of the weapon with 40 Str/40 Dex/16 Faith?
This weapon obviously isn't a quality one, and it has overall high AR with Dex and Faith investments over strength.
At 40 Dex and 40-50 Faith you see at least 30 more AR overall.

Sadly the weapon that should be a great faith weapon is just complete garbage.
Is not that good, don't have good damage and the special attack sucks, it destroys the weapon too easy. Heide spear is better than this
Lightning Grand Lance is better imo
Infused with lightning the Grand Lance just seems to have better scaling and you can get it pretty early

good weapon, kinda sucks that you cant get it earlier on in the game

Without being able to wear the Old Dragonslayer (Ornstein)'s armor the spear doesn't give as much joy.

Would have appreciated it if the Old Dragonslayer Soul gave you that badass looking armor set as well.
