Rotten Crystal Spear is a Spear in Elden Ring. The Rotten Crystal Spear scales primarily with Strength, Dexterity and Intelligence and is a good Weapon for medium range attacks and inflicting magic damage.
Spear fashioned from pure crystal; a deed impossible for a human.
It festers with scarlet rot.
Enwreathed with powerful magic, its attack scales with intelligence.
Where to Find Rotten Crystal Spear in Elden Ring
The Rotten Crystal Spear weapon can be found at the following location:
- Can be dropped by Lesser Crystalian enemies located within Elphael, Brace of the Haligtree
- 2 of them can be found in the room just next to the Elphael Inner Wall site of grace.
- A consistent strategy is to lure one of them out with any throwable item, projectile weapon or spell, then use a striking-type weapon of your choice to fish for backstabs, followed with a charged heavy attack as they rise from the ground. After several critical or heavy blows the Lesser Crystalian will crack and become easy to stunlock with regular attacks.
- 2 of them can be found in the room just next to the Elphael Inner Wall site of grace.
- Best way to farm is to go to the one at the Elphael Inner Wall, use the Fallingstar Beast Jaw +9 Weapon Art and kill it without passing over the tree root and aggroing the spearmen. Takes a few tries to get the drop, but no skill required.

Night Maiden’s Mist doesn’t aggro Crystalians, so it could be an easy way to farm them.
at least you get good runes from each kill... got it at about 20 mins of farming. Got x2 on back to back kills

Got 2 in 5 kills from the 2 at inner wall with the silver scarab and foot, second dropped after 2 kills with no foot, 9 arcane.
Scal8ng looks terrible and rot is low, but the collector in me needed all the int weapons for my sorc

Use the Fallingstar Beast Jaw +9 weapon art to stunlock the Crystalians to death one at a time, its much better than trying this with a mace.

By far the easiest way to farm these crystallians is to equip Fallingstar Beast Jaw, stand on the roots and spam the ash of war Gravity Bolt, just spam one button while you watch videos

Why this and the sword can't use any ashes of war is beyond me.

Power standing with this(+24) and got NG+1 Radahn start proc after 4 L1 attack. Massively insane.

This thing is really disappointing. At +10 with 75 dex it only gets an ar of 555. Don't be fooled by the magic damage. Its negligible and doesn't scales well at all. Its a pure dex weapon. On top of that it's scarlet rot build up of 55 is just too low when bleed and poison infusions can get 100+. Even with powerstancing it takes on average about 4-5 attacks in pvp, so double that with a single spear. Most times you kill someone before it even procs. PVE isn't much better either. Dragons that get scarlet rotted in one rotten breath take about 15 hits with this thing. It needed a higher scarlet rot build up or a good weapon art that allowed multiple hits to make it really viable. But it gets the very basic spear weapon art and it can't be changed. Again. Very disappointing.

What happens if I have all the necessary stats to wield it, minus the int? Will this only butcher the magic damage, or are there other downsides?

It's actually a bit ridiculous you can't use AoW on this. You can on the Antspur, so I don't see why you shouldn't be able to on this as well.

The skill is Charge Forth and it can't be replaced which sucks. Guess I'll stick with my Antspur Rapier.

Dropped Rotten Crystalian in the Elphael Inner Wall Grace in the Haligtree that's guarding the Rotten Crystal Sword. The staff counterpart is also dropped by the mage one.

Can be found before the boss fight of malenia where 3 crystal guys can be found! Two of them have spears kill them to have a chance to get the Rotten Crystal Spear! You can also look it up on YouTube I uploaded a video!

Don't these drop from the scarlet crystallians with spears in the haligtree?

Does this inflict scarlet rot? The rotten crystal sword does so I assume this does aswell but don't have it myself
Spawn at the Elphael Inner Wall Grace in the Haligtree and head straight then take a left, there are two spearmen and a mage on the other side a the small section of roots, the spear dropped from the first one I killed. They can be pulled one by one to make it easier.

There are two crystallian enemies in the SW of the shallow lake area, pretty much due south of the Rose church with Varre, that appear to be carrying this weapon. Made several farming runs without luck, however, but it's the only place I can think of that seems to have this and at least it's a start.
Flame of the Redmane opens these guy up for a riposte in 2 uses.
