A standard spear.

Spears allow one to attack a foe from a distance, and while holding up a shield.

Thrusting attacks are effective even against opponents with strong defense, but they have a narrow point of contact and won't effectively break through a shielded defense. 

Acquired From

  • Purchased from Blacksmith Lenigrast in Majula for 1400 souls.
  • Dropped by Barefist Goblins
  • Makes use of sweeping R2 attacks (similar to the Partizan) which deal strike damage.  Can be a useful early game tool against groups of enemies of armored enemies (eg. Old Knights of Heide)

 

Hints and Tips:

  • Upraged with regular Titanite to +10.

      Extremely underrated weapon. R2 R2 is excellent. Might be a true combo. If not it’s damn close. Don’t understand why every spear doesn’t have the horizontal sweep R2. Lances should have the charged thrust poke R2. All Spears should have this one.

        A surprisingly good weapon, especially early. Great for crowd control, and as we all know, you really need stuff to help you in gank fights in this game. Can't recommend it enough.

          Strong attack does strike damage, which is good vs armored enemies. This advantage is considerable, try it

            Very underrated weapon. Has the same moveset as the Partizan unlike the partizan the spear can be bought very early on in the game. The solid moveset, light weight and decent damage makes this weapon very helpful for any player going for a dex or quality build

              After all the countless hours spent playing this game, I only just now discovered a secret about Dark Souls 2's Spear that wasn't present in the first game. The R2 attack for both one and two-handed stances is not just another trust attack. It's a horizontal sweep, a trait that I originally thought was exclusive to the Partizan. This increases the versatility of the basic Spear's moveset tenfold, and since this weapon is available at the start of the game, has very low requirements and excellent reach, the R2 sweep attacks makes taking on those waves of Hollow soldiers in the Forest of Fallen Giants much easier.
