Cleanrot Spear | Elden Ring Wiki

Just got it on MY SECOND TRY at Prayer Room, good luck to everyone else, I’m out, have fun with your conniptions

Submit

About 134 kills, or 1.6M runes, at the Prayer Room grace to get this. 197 discovery.

Submit

Everyone talking about the lack of powerstance. I'm wondering why the AoW doesn't work the same way the Death Poker's AoW does, one input for long ranged line, another for short range AoE. Feels like FS really dropped the ball on some of these weapons.

Submit

radahns arrows look nothing like this what

Submit

Mediocre scaling, mediocre damage. Aow is horizontally, scales off faith, apparently. Doesnt powerstance with cleanrot Sword, same goes for the scythe.

Submit

Some please trade me this ill give you 2 halo scythes and full cleanrot set

Submit

Does Powerstancing these give +100 Immunity or only +50?

Submit

I can confirm that the fella outside the prayer room does drop the Cleanrot Spear, but the chance appears to be much lower than for the other drops. I pillaged literally three full armor sets and five swords before I got the spear.

Submit

193 discovery, got the clearot spear on my first try in Prayer Room... it felt like I won the lottery O_O
(Before that, I was farming the Celebran's Rib Rake in Windmill Village for about 2 hours before it dropped...)

Submit

I sound like a bad person but I've had amazing drop rates with Cleanrot Knights in the past. I've used their armor for 3 different playthroughs and weapons for 2 different playthroughs, and to get the full Cleanrot Knight build, it took me less than 20 minutes each time. Swamp of Aeonia has a ton of these buggers, and once you learn the maximal efficiency path to kill as many in as little time as possible, it's amazing.

Submit

Been looking for this for a lighting build I have in mind using all the different lighting spells. Just need this and the black lighting spells and I got it done

Submit

I just grinded by the swamp for a hour nd got everything wasn’t to bad got the sycthe in my left hand and the spear in my right looks cool as heck I’m the amor setbto

Submit

when grinding this at prayer room be careful that the golden stab doesn't yeet you off the bridge

Submit

I have a discovery of 320, It took me 1 hour of solid grinding to get this. Once.

Submit

Why is Trina' s Lily a purple drop??

Submit

I have 10 swords, 2 scythes, 10 helmets, 7 chestpieces, 6 gauntlets, 12 greaves and 0 ****ing spears

Submit

Yeah sure the last 3 times I farmed for the spear it took at least 1 hour for one to drop, now I farm for the rapier and the spear drops on my second try. I'm still using it though because it's ****ing gorgeous.

Submit

aow shouldve been the forward attack that the knights do rather than the defensive side to side wave, along with d faith scaling and no special interactions with the cleanrot sword, this weapon is really sadly disappointing

Submit

if this spear could have a power stance with the cleanrot sword and/or have a special block counter/parry like the knights have i would love it to death seeing as i love spears and thrusting weapons but overall it’s not that good of a weapon and there are better spears if you’re looking for one

Submit

Just got one from the knight outside the prayer room grace. The drop rate definitely feels bugged, I got 2 swords and 4 armor sets from the knight before a spear dropped. I did some farming for it in caelid a few days ago too but I don’t remember how many armor sets/swords I got before I gave up.

Submit

So:
-No powerstance with Cleanrot Sword
-No special block with the buckler
-Phalanx should’ve shot forward, as right now the range is abysmal
-Scaling could’ve been way better

Submit

Got one with 185 discovery on 3rd try with blasphemous blade

Submit

south of the heart of aeonia grace you can find 3 clean rot knight scattered around this is probably the best method got one under 20 mins with this

Submit

For farming the Prayer Room knight on a low level char, Giant Hunt guarantee stun locks them.

Submit

The only place worth farming for the cleanrot weapons I've seen is in the shaded castle heading up to the boss room theres 2 cleanrot knights wielding the scythe and spear with the spear wielding one being right below the elevator leading to the boss room i got multiple spears with little effort and the scythe only took 3 tries to get

Submit

130 knights outside of the prayer room at 324 item discovery and still no spear

Submit

After 2,6 million runes, multiple armor sets and swords I'm convinced that this weapon is a troll and doesn’t even exist.

Submit

Got one on 7th kill in Aeonia along with almost full set and scythe/2 swords. 184 disc. + silver foot. I also read another comment saying they used a spear and got one quicker... It also worked for me. Read a few more saying something similar.

Submit

Stupid thought but here it is.
It would have been cool if at the end of Patches' questline, he sold you a rotten version of the Cleanrot spear that applied rot buildup, dealt magic damage, and had a gravitational knockup effect added to Sacred Phalanx. At the same time, I feel like this would be just too good. Likely scaling off four stats (Strength, Dex, Faith, and Intelligence), dealing three different types of damage (Physical, magic, and holy), rot buildup, and a posture breaker (Knockup skill) all in a 5.5 weight spear is insanely broken on paper.
It's a bummer that we don't have any weapons obtained from the beaches of Caelid that were influenced by Radahn's long-term persistent use of gravity magic, other than the Cleanrot spears you can buy from Enia and use as arrows.

Submit

Just a little thing but I wish it had better blocking stats seeing that it has a small buckler on it. It just seems to be about as good as other spears for blocking.

Submit

4-5 kills outside Prayer Room with 112 discovery. Gotta be the luckiest mofo out there

Submit

Pssst, don't tell anyone but the weapon art true combos into wrath of gold

Submit

If you haven't defeated Niall yet, you can run SE from Inner Aeonia site of grace through his arena and over the roots in the back. It seems like the knights that normally wake up back there stay down if you're in the Niall fight. This made it a lot easier on my level 20 character, got it after about an hour of killing the five sleeping knights there.

Submit

They did this weapon skill really dirty; it doesn't really feel utilized very well from the player compared to the Cleanrot Knights, they're able to launch a straight path of that skill but we only get to do it horizontally? The starting animation feels very slow and it leaves you wide open for attacks, they need to buff this skill

Submit

I find it disappointing that you can't powerstance the cleanrot spear/halo scythe and the cleanrot sword; and I find this weapon's AoW really weird since it's such an awkward mix of both the cleanrot knights' long and short range phalanx attacks. plsman I just want the long range phalanx :(

Submit

I'm so lucky xD I got it from the first cleanrot I killed in Castle in Shaded Castle where you get the Valkyrie prostesis on my new Dex Faith character, damn that weapon is perfectly suited for me

Submit

There are 11 cleanrot knights easily found near heart of aeonia grace. Drag great sword until you hear contact, let go and watch them die. Great mid level xp too. You’re welcome.

Submit

Farming weapons is human torture in this game this and grave scythe are the worst farms I’ve had.

Submit

I know you guys are farming hard for this because I keep getting message approvals for “knight ahead” on all their secret spawn locations in Aeonia. There’s two sleeping next to the one who seems alone but they don’t ever come out unless you hit them. There’s two in two different tiny puddles right next to another one who seems alone and they don’t come out unless you walk right on them literally. There’s like 7 or 8 spear knights there, maybe even more.

Submit

Got this spear outside prayer room grace. 45 Arc, Silver Scarab, 220 Disc. 15 kills

Submit

It's literally a defensive spear with a buckler but it has some of the worst damage reduction in the game. That's strangely disappointing.

Submit

I have four of these things. Four. What do I do with four of them? Make a collection???

Submit

TLDR: It's a nice weapon, but not worth grinding for unless you really want the skill.

The skill looks dope and the 2-hit charge attack is fun. It shares the short spear moveset, so try that out instead if you like the moveset, but don't care for the skill.

Scaling is a bit weird. The weapon itself benefits more from a quality build than faith. The skill hits twice with the 1st part scaling off your ar, and the 2nd part only using faith. I'm running it on my clawmark caster (45 str/22 dex/ 45 faith) with decent results.

Alexander shard and some holy damage make the skill pretty good in pve, though a bit slow. It probably won't land in pvp unless you catch people off guard. The bright side is that this is a fairly uncommon weapon due to its mediocrity and difficulty to farm so that can happen more often than you think.

If you're looking at just damage, it's outclassed by a sacred naginata, but that thing beats every spear on every build, so no surprises there.

Submit

2 and a half hours. I can build an entire army of Cleanrot knights, have 'em each wield Cleanrot swords like Killer B and not a single mudafuggin' spear.

Submit

This is so rare I wasn't aware it actually existed, i'm on my 9th playthrough if i counted correctly.

Submit

Cleanrot Knight's Sword, anyone? How about a dozen sets of Cleanrot Knight armor? BTW there are 9 CKs wielding spears in Aonia Swamp as far as I can tell. I didn't count the ones with scythes, there may be 3 or 4

Submit

I literally got 2 and the cleanrot knight set under 20 minutes. Farmed the one near prayer room. Used starcaller cry with +10 starscourge greatsword, silver scarab talisman and the silver tear mask. I was probably just lucky though.

Submit

From my own farming, im pretty sure there are 5 spear wielding knights in the heart of the swamp. 2 are lying down by the root where Millicent invades (in the open between two roots, the other behind the large root that the patrolling knight moves along), 1 in the u shaped rot obstacle (another patrolling knight circles it), and 2 more amongst the 5 knights lying down nearest to the rings of light ash of war (the spearmen are the first two that stand up when you approach).

Submit

There are only TWO Cleanrot Knights in Aeonia swamp. They are located close to the Heart of Aeonia site of grace and both are in the rot fluid, so you have to trigger them. The first one is located Southeast of the SoG a little off the shore dead center between the trees. The second one is Southwest of the first knight, by a fallen branch/tree. I was grinding for about an hour clearing all of them until I noticed it was only those two with the spear at 200 discovery, but it took maybe 5-15 minutes once I started only killing those two and reset.

Submit

Someone mentioned killing cleanrot knight(spear knight) with a spear to get it, I decided to try it out with Silurias Tree Spear +9 I got it. It was at the Prayer Room bonfire in Haligtree. I'm sure I killed him around 9 times or so, coincidence maybe but I swear it took less than 13 kills. Mind you I killed him like 50+ times yesterday in the same spot and got everything but the spear. I got a screenshot and everything, give it a try!

Submit

Godslayer Greatsword is great for farming cleanrot knights for this, it staggers the one at Prayer room and the combo kills the knight at 50 faith, 45 Dex, and 35 strength, the spear itself is really good and the R2 can rollcatch people in PVP

Submit

If you kill O’Neil there are 5-7 knights around his area you can clear out pretty easily(The Aeonia Swamp area). In under an hour I got their sword, almost 2 full sets, 2 spears and one scythe from farming them. Not to mention they’re a pretty alright soul farm if you have the gold beetle talisman.

Submit

10 of the knights spawn around the Heart of Aeonia grace and make for a pretty quick farming location, I finally got one after getting 4 scythes and 10 swords (203 discovery)

Submit

At the Prayer Site grace you can just use rivers of blood skill through the wall. Easiest farming ever. Sadly enough, the drops are still horrible, as I spend hours to get the halo scythe, ending up with several full armor sets and 20+ swords, haven't seen a spear yet. Don't give up, skeleton!

Got 3 halo scythes now trying to get this arghhhh

Submit

I'm seeing mostly farming comments about this, no actual info about the weapon. Tried it out using a quality faith build. Weapon damage is mediocre, weapon art is flashy with mediocre damage with some AOE. But slow to cast and easily interrupted. The best thing about this weapon is the immunity boost. Far better choices when it comes to damage. A decent weapon if you're more focused on spell casting.

Submit

Can anyone confirm this drops off the 2 Cleanrot Knights wielding the spear and sword in Caelod still? There are 5 knights total, 3 with the halo scythe and 2 with the spear. I’m at 340 kills and haven’t seen the spear. Have 10+ of the sword, 2 of the Halo Scythe (just when the halo patrol gets in the way) and more armor than I know what to do with.

Submit

The details on this spear's model are awesome. Worth!

Submit

Prayer room with silver fowl runback as the comments suggested is the easiest, to make it even easier equip Fallingstar Beast Jaw and just spam Gravity Bolt to stunlock the knight

Submit

oh god it took me so long to get it. final results level 198 to 205; 28 head; 21 armor; 30 gauntlets; 34 greaves; 33 swords almost 2 hours farming outside prayer room with 202 discovery, i don't think it's worth it.

Submit

farmed the two knights the spawn out of the lake near Heart of Aeonia for about 15 minutes with 240 discovery before getting my first one

Submit

It really frustrates me how many weapons that could have good faith scaling have poor faith scaling. Why is this a C in Str/Dex and not Dex/Fth? I just want weapons suitable for dedicated faith builds that aren't infused or coded sword/cipher pata.

Submit

NG+, Item Discovery 214, Farmed Aeonia Swamp. Got 2 to drop, Lap 5, and lap 8. So 35th kill, and 56th kill roughly.

Submit

I farmed TWO of these in the Haligtree, from the Prayer Room site of grace.
My one suggestion? Don’t farm it there. Choose the rot lake in Caelid, somewhere where you can farm multiples at once. Farming at the Haligtree was a pain, especially with extremely rough endgame damage and health which didn’t help it go any faster. If you’re near the end of the game, make it easier on yourself and just farm it from enemies that don’t take more than three hits to go down.

Submit

Should cause Scarlet rot buildup. This weapon is very underwhelming and very hard to find

Submit

This weapon needs a damage buff, it is way to slow to justify this horrifically low damage. In pvp with 50 dex and 42 faith it only deals 342 per hit at +9, god damn.

Submit

FINALLY got it. The spear is alright, the ash of war is pretty cool but a bit slow unfortunately.

Submit

This spear is dope, I definitely like it for my faith/dex guy, fun to use. Very frustrating to farm though, guess I got lucky on my first play through because when I came back to farm it again it took over an hour to find one.
At first I was riding around the swamp fighting the knights from up on my horse, but a lot of those guys have the Halo Scythe and that’s not what I was looking for. Finally figured out that if you start from the Aeonia Swamp Shore grace, go directly NE from there and there’s a knight with the spear (you’ll pass under a low branch about halfway btw the grace and the guy), and then directly E from him there’s another one (you’ll pass over an island covered in barnacles or whatever). Both have the spear, and you should be able to beat them both up as they’re getting up out of the mud.
I wound up with 150k+ runes, 5 full sets of the armor, and 6 of the swords before I got the spear, but it did drop from one of those two dudes.
Good luck!

Submit

I got one from the War Torn Catacombs in Caelid. You can just sit there down the bottom of the first room (out of the rot) & wait for it to drop as the the Cleanrot knights & Radahn knights battle it out.

Submit

They weren’t kidding when they said “very low drop rate”.

Submit

Really wish this spear could have different ashes of war

Submit

Solid spear for pvp even without proper stats (20/20) and 32 fth. The double hit throws people off in pvp and the weapon art is good if you’re casting and people are playing aggressively. I imagine with 40/40 str dex it would hit way harder

Submit

Does anyone know if the Immunity boost stacks when holding two of these?

Submit

Is this weapon good?

Submit

This is the spear from the E3 2019 trailer that the cleanrot knight thrusts into radahn. That was a long time ago!

Submit

Just got one at like sixth try, from the Prayer's room bonfire.

Submit

Got the spear after 12 tries at the aeonia grace. Just kill every single knight everytime and use cursewords when killing them, trust me it helps

Submit

Someone on here said to kill a spear knight with a spear of your own and I got it first try. I did kill the knight 2 times before trying that. It worked!

Submit

Do not bump discovery past 220 it seems like you get different drops past that value, might be pure luck but I always get what I need around that value but going past it seems to net you more common item at higher frequency instead of the rared one.

Submit

Reminds me of Istarell from Demon’s Souls. Although with the immunity boost it might be useful since rot is widely used in PvP and is a counter to Greatshield piercing weapon builds

Submit

got 2 spears multiple armor pieces and the sword in less than 20 runs.No discovery items or anything.i play offline thats the only thing that I can say i do different

Submit

Shame I can’t use ashes of war on this to reenact the charge forth in the trailer. I would understand not being allowed to use the OP ashes on every weapon but why not the simple ones like charge forth, spinning slash and impaling thrust?

Submit

Started farming the one near the prayer room with 0 runes and 184 discovery. I had 949800 runes once the spear dropped. It took 150 attempts total for me. Hopefully that puts into perspective how rare a drop it is.

Submit

Are you able to block wit this spear just like the Cleanrot Knights do?

Submit

Finally got this thing, Heart of Aenoia is my favorite spot to farm (3 spear-wielders close to each other) and is probably the most optimal if you can’t kill the one outside Prayer Room quick enough.

Submit

I’m convinced this doesn’t exist. 250-306 discovery depending on if I use the foot or not, hours of farming at the prayer room (and I *one-shot* this thing), countless pieces of armor and swords and flowers, yet no spear.

I had a kill where 3 pieces of armor plus the flower plus the sword dropped at once.

What’s the point of pumping so much discovery if my rng for a weapon drop is this shitty?

Submit

I’ve been farming the one outside the prayer room with 306 discovery for what feels like forever, and I still don’t have it. And it’s not like nothing’s dropping, either—I have more of the armor pieces than I could ever possibly need.

Submit

If anyone is still farming within current patch fastest way outside of prayer room is as follows.
1. Wear discovery gear and use foot buff.
2. Exploit the hell out of shield parry carina retaliation and wraith bell.
If you have high enough int and Alexander shard you one shot before you even see them out the door.

Submit

Holy crap the drop rates feel bad even outside of prayer room. I got 6 swords and at least 5 full sets of armor before I got 2 to powerstance. Had base 10 arcane with silver scarab and mask with fowl foot boost to 249 discovery. Be warned it might take a sec.

Submit

I was reading the comments to know where I should farm.

I tried once in the swamp, then went to the haligtree and got it first time with 191 disc

Submit

I was farming for the spear on heart of aeonia, did like 130 kills and decided to give a try on the prayer room on ephael, got it after only 5 kills, probably coincidence but worth mentioning.

Submit

aeonia swamp grace, 158 discovery using silver scarab and silver pickeled foot, 6 runs, one spear, two scythes, one sword and a full set of cleanrot knight armor twice. don't know if i was lucky or not, but i didn't have a hard time farming.

Submit

I 've been trying to farm this spear for 3 hours with 240 discovery, at swamps of aeonia first and then at prayer room. During the process i got 15 swords, 13 helms, 16 armors, 9 gauntlets and 13 greaves. Being desperate, I searched if there is a better way to farm it than what I am doing. The only thing I saw that was something I had never tried was a comment from someone saying that using a certain weapon will increase the chance of same type weaponns to drop. Being out of options, I gave it a chance and got it first try with a spear. I am not sure if this was a coincidence, but people should try it and confirm or reject this theory.

Submit

Map is pretty unhelpful for this specific weapon. Most of the knights marked on it are wielding the scythe instead so farming them for this would be a waste of time. Only speear wielder I can see is the very last one, which is closer to the Heart of Aeonia grace.

Submit

I did the heart of Aeonia farm as other people have mentioned: start at Heart of Aeonia grace, turn around and get on your horse. head southeast, jumping over the large branch. you should be heading into the scarlet rot water, at which point there will be five of the cleanrot knights under the water. 1 is in the middle of the water which is a spear knight, two are ahead in front of a large tree which are a spear (left side) and a scythe (right side) knights. To the right of the tree where two of the knights are another two knights, a spear and scythe knight. The one in the middle will get up when you get near, so kill that one first and then go around stabbing the other four in the water. After all five are dead ( or all three if you're just focusing on getting the spear), either run back to the Heart of Aeonia grace and sit down to reset the spawns (to keep the discovery buff with the silver chicken foot) or just fast travel back if you don't have any of the silver chicken feet.

In an hour and a half of mind numbing farm, I got 6 scythes, 10 helmets, 10 armors, 12 gloves, 6 greaves and 1 spear. After about half an hour in I had everything but the spear so I focused on the three spear knights southeast of the grace and reset. There are also another 3 spear knights past the stake of Marika but I decided to ignore that since I felt it was too time consuming than to just kill the three closest to the grace and reset. I had 50 base arcane, which I then used the Marikas Soreseal and silver scarab talismans, silver tear mask, and a rune arc to increase my arcane further (This is probably overkill). I also used a maxed out gransaax spear to kill the knights on my horse, but I think any spear would work best as you can get better reach on your horse when killing them under the water. I also found that like other people have mentioned you can rarely get two rewards. I have also gotten three rewards (for me it was gloves, armor and a trinas lily), but that was only once in my hour and a half of farm.

I know that all of this is probably common knowledge but I hope someone who would like this spear and couldn't find a good method of farm or have just found their way to this page might find this useful in some way. I agree with other commenters that killing the knights at the Heart of Aeonia grace is the best way of farming cleanrot knight gear compared to the other places, as these knight will be the easiest to kill compared to the others and that there are far more knights to get drop chances from. Lastly, use the silver chicken foot if you have alot of them, making sure to not fast travel when resetting to keep the item chance buff. if not wear everything you have to increase arcane and/or rune arcs with godricks rune for extra arcane. For the Heart of Aeonia grace farm, you can just stay on your horse the entire time to avoid scarlet rot, basically going back and forth killing the knights and running back to the grace.

Thanks for taking the time to read this wall of text, good luck, and hope this helps!

TLDR: Heart of Aeonia Grace --> turn around, ride southeast, jump over big branch --> When you hit scarlet rot water, kill the five knights under the water --> go back and reset --> repeat --> profit???

Submit

Farmed Dead catacombs for about 20 minutes 190 doacovery. Got boots and thats it. Went to Prayer room. Pop the silver foot gave me 241 discovery. Got it 3rd kill. Just walk and reset at fireplace and the silver foot stays on. Dont fast travel or you lose it.

Got lucky while farming for everything they had. I highly recommend using the map shown above for Aeonia! Took a little under 20 minutes with the silver scarab and the silver fowl foot with 7 arcane. Got a duplicate actually hehe
