Crystal Spear | Elden Ring Wiki

If you (A) only have <12 str (or else clayman's harpoon is better) (B) Have only 16-20 int (or magic infusion is better) (C) Don't want to use Scholar's Armament (or keen rib-rake is better) (D) Don't want to use a short spear for length, or moveset reasons (C) Have +57 Dex (D) Prefer more physical/magic damage then lightning damage (otherwise rib-rake is better), Then you can finally just begin to even consider this weapon, which btw then is stuck with a generic aow. Looks cool tho.

slaps on 60dex/int build

The heroine appears.

Everything could be forgiven if at least the heavy attack would be a horizontal sweep since , you know , it's got that sword tip at the end...

Submit

second hand embarrassment embodied in a weapon, wish i could put thing back in its chest out of shame

Submit

Jesse, we need to be able to infuse the meth spear with an ash of war jesse

Submit

tight tight tight yeah, blue yellow pink whatever man just keep bringing me that

Submit

Less STR requirements than Moonveil, extremely useful on a pure glintstone sorcerer caster who will typically have harder time dealing with big tower shield-wielding enemies.

Submit

This would probably be one of the best magic spears if you could infuse AoW on to it.

Submit

NGAAHHHHHH!!

Submit

Useful if you want an easy to upgrade weapon which can pierce shields to carry you to the weapon your are intending to get later on.

Submit

if your stupid character didnt hold it so high up the shaft it would be one of the longest spears

Submit

This is what we like to call a lore weapon. Utterly worthless, but includes some cool lore.

Submit

From Software lazy meter rising.

Submit

"enwreathed with powerful magic". Scales the worst with intelligence.

Submit

cant be infused with ashes of war but has a basic asf special

Submit

Very disappointing weapon compared to the other Crystal weapons. With Crystal Sword (and to a lesser extent Crystal Dagger), you can go 20 Int and then focus on Strength and you'll have nice high mostly-physical AR with enough Magic damage to really bail you out against annoying anti-physical enemies, but a max Crystal Sword has 259/166 base phs/mag damage while a max Crystal Spear has 269/80. The magic damage portion for the Crystal Spear is just pathetic.

Submit

I don't get why this is a "special" weapon that upgrades with Sombers and can't be customised. Apart from being made of crystal it's a rather mundane weapon. It even has a completely generic skill.

Submit

Let us infuse this

Submit

Skill should have been the triple jump.

Submit

While this weapon (and others like the crystal sword and dagger) seem pointless, the reason they exist is to be your offhand with a non-used weapon skill and somber stone upgrades to save you materials. Your main weapon would be in this case a magic/cold-infused spear with the Ash of your choice, while this simply exists to fill your offhand slot for L1's. It's a shame because they look really distinct and cool but I honestly can't think of any other use for them.

Submit

I don't really get the point of this weapon. You can just take any other spear that can be infused with ashes of war and make a magic spear and it will have similar scaling and damage and you will have the versality of having different ashes of war. And impaling thrust is just an OK special. Style 9/10. Usage 2/10

Submit

Since the 1.08.1 patch nerfed this spear for PvP, it would be nice to have the ability to swap out the AoW.

Submit

Cool looking weapon for a Crystallian style character but has poor damage and can't use ash of war on it. The damage/scaling compared to other weapons makes it hard to be usable, it has B scaling in Dex at max upgrade but there are better options if you wanted a Dex weapon. Would be nice to switch my Clayman's Magic Harpoons for 2 for these.

Submit

I don't get weapons like this that require a decent investment to Int/Fai but don't really benefit from Int/Fai at all. It's just there as a stupid stat check that force you to waste some points into stats that are irrelevant to your builds (for pure builds or hybrids learning to Dex/Str) or giving you false hope that your stats would help these weapons become viable (for pure Int/Fai or hybrids leaning toward Int/Fai).

Like, why the hell would you ever use this weapon if all of these are better than Crystal Spear?

1. Dex build: keen spear is better than Crystal Spear
2. Quality build: by far the best build to utilize this spear, and quality infused spear is still better than Crystal Spear because it doesn't have split AR and you can add resin
3. Dex/Int hybrid: cold spear is better than Crystal Spear
4. Int build: magic spear is better than Crystal Spear
5. Overleveled Dex/Int hybrid: cold spear / keen spear + Scholar Armament is better than Crystal Spear

Submit

Does anyone know if in the 1.0 version, Crystallians drop this weapon?

Submit

There are two Crystalians with spears out in the open in Liurnia of the lakes. In-between the folly and converted tower grace sitting on some crystal outcroppings. I'm curious if they drop anything.

Submit

Point of crystal weapons, period?

Submit

This would've been a slightly better Clayman's Harpoon if it was actually droppable and could be modified with different AoW. Why is the Rotten variant droppable but not this? FromSoft needs to redo certain weapons as well as changing up which enemies SHOULD drop the weapons that they're holding for potential powerstancing, unbelievable.

Submit

What's up with from putting the worst AOWs to weapons that cannot change them?

Bravo from, making half of the weapons you put your hard work on obsolete so no one uses them

Submit

Would have loved to be able to put ashes of war on this. A cold crystal spear would go much better with my Elden bling than the clayman harpoon

Submit

Rich but stupid man's clayman harpoon

Submit

WHAT
WERE
THEY
THINKING??

Submit

"POWERFUL MAGIC" - 80 magic damage + bad scaling LOL

Submit

god im so mad we cant put weapon arts on these things. A very pretty spear completely overshadowed by nearly anything else because its stuck with strange scalings and and plain moveset. Unironically, I think a cold naginata completely outclasses it, and it will also have bleed on it!

Submit

"Enwreathed with powerful magic, its attack scales with intelligence"

My brother in Grace, this thing has more strength scaling than int- why the hell did the devs write these wacky descriptions that include flavor text which doesn't accurately describe the weapons half the time.

Submit

would be cool if crystal weapons had the same the effect as crystal darts on those special enemies

Submit

the crystalian spear combo would have been nice to have :(

Submit

This is insanely bad lol..

Submit

it doesnt even scale highly in intelligence and doesnt have a unique moveset to any other kind of regular spear, cant have ashes equipped to it and is locked to impaling thrust, meaning its weaker, less versatile, and more restrictive than even a regular spear or partizan, quite a LOT of effort to hide away a highly inferior weapon.

If you wanna cosplay a Crystalian, go ahead, but other than that, just put magic/frostbite on any regular spear and swap the ashes as you wish.

Submit

why would anyone use this over a regular spear..

Submit

They should really allow tinkering on crystal weapons. It's cool if I could at least use Icy Spear on it.

Submit

Ew locked to impaling thrust, magic/cold nagi is probs nicer

Submit

Actual instructions to find it: from the Stake of Marika before the boss fight, stick to the right wall heading toward the boss. When you find the corpse with the item on it, smack the walls.

Submit

The Hidden wall is in the cave room prior to the boss fight. Just stick to the right and you will find a small slope leading up to it. Cheers!

Submit

"left of the boss room"
Hold up your hand vertically, thumbs extended parallel. The hand that makes an "L" is your left. THE GODDAMN SPEAR IS ON THE RIGHT.

Submit

Enter the room After the stake of marilka, and stick the right side. There will be a skeleton with an item and the hidden door is next it.

Submit

The crystalian in elphael inner wall also drops it

Submit

starts with E Str, E Int and D Dex. You cannot put an Ashe of War on it.

Submit

It's weapon skill is Impaling Thrust

Submit

It can be found in Sellia Hideaway behind an illusionary wall in the room before the boss. The wall is located to the right side of the room, next to an item.
