Where to Find Short Spear in Elden Ring

The Short Spear weapon can be found at the following location:

• Starting Equipment for the Prophet Class.
• Can be purchased from Twin Maiden Husks at the Roundtable Hold for  600 Runes.
• Drops from Godrick, Radahn, and Leyndell Foot Soldiers.
• An easy way to farm them is to start from Agheel Lake North's site of grace, follow the path that goes southeast towards the bridge next to the lake. After the bridge, turn left and continue on the path that branches north, and you'll quickly run into two Godrick Foot Soldiers with Short Spears (only the spear ones can drop it). They're slowly patrolling, so if you take very long to get there, you might not find them at their initial location, resting at a site of grace resets their location.
