The Spear is a spear in Dark Souls. 

In-Game Description

Standard spear used commonly by soldiers. Long reach, and can be used with shield up. Effective against hard exteriors, and can hit for high damage at the right moment of an enemy's swing. But the hit radius is small, and it is easily blocked by shields.

Availability

• 2% drop from Undead Soldiers (Spear) in the Undead Burg and the Undead Parish.
• A Lightning Spear is found off a Mimic in Sen's Fortress.
• The Undead Male Merchant sells spears for 600 souls.
• 1% drop from Phalanx located in the Painted World of Ariamis.

Characteristics

The Spear is the most basic spear-type weapon. A good starting weapon for new players as it allows attacking while still keeping a shield up. However, its short range means it is easily outclassed by other spear-type weapons. It is also prone to consuming stamina quickly early game if you use it too aggressively, so it's better used as a strategic poke and defend weapon.

Notes

• The Lightning Spear found in Sen's Fortress can be downgraded to Spear +10, allowing the player to easily craft the Dragonslayer Spear or Moonlight Butterfly Horn.
• It is also viable to use for Knight's Honor to reach maximum Lightning path upgrade.

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.
