Spears
Spears excel at maintaining distance and a strong defense. Their thrusts have enough range to hit enemies before they can retaliate and can be performed safely behind a raised shield. Though predictable and less effective against nimble or shielded opponents, Spears provide a cautious, methodical approach to combat. They are ideal for players who prefer poking enemies from a safe distance and slowly wearing them down. While Spears don’t boast remarkable damage or scaling, their safe moveset can be appealing in both PvE and PvP for defensive strategies.

Channeler's Trident
Trident of the Six-eyed Channelers,
sorcerers who serve Seath the Scaleless in collecting human specimens.
Thrusted in circular motions in a unique martial arts dance that stirs nearby allies into a bloodthirsty frenzy.
Availability
Drop from Channeler (1%)
General Information
The two-handed strong attack dance can be performed with a broken weapon, but the buff will not work.
Strength is the only minimum stat that must be met to use the buff (11 STR required to two-hand). A character with less than 11 strength will instead perform the "weak" animation when attempting to use the buff.
The dance must be finished for the buff to take effect (signified by an aura spreading out).
A good spot to farm Channelers for this weapon is the second bonfire in The Duke's Archives (called "The Duke's Archives" in the Warp menu) after the path to the Crystal Cave has been opened. From the bonfire, head right to the new passage and climb up the ladder. Near the rotary stairs are two of them.

| Damage: |
The Damage stat dictates how much damage the weapon does. The Damage stats for a weapon are W / X / Y / Z:
Each weapon has one or more physical damage types:
Certain enemies are weak or strong against different types of damage types. |
| Critical: | One of the multipliers (in percent) for the bonus damage on criticals, such as backstabs and ripostes. |
| Durability: | The health of the weapon. The effectiveness of the weapon will severely deteriorate when the durability falls below 30%. |
| Weight: | The weight of the weapon. Note that carrying over 50% of a character's Equip Burden will reduce the speed of their rolls, while going over 100% will reduce their regular speed to walking and attempts to roll or backstep will leave them momentarily stunned. |
| Stats Needed: |
The Stats Needed determines how high various Stats must be in order to wield the weapon effectively. The Requirement stats for a weapon are W / X / Y / Z:
Wielding a weapon without the required Strength and/or Dexterity will incur a penalty to the Physical damage of the weapon, while lower-than-required Magic and/or Faith will reduce the Magic damage of the weapon. Also keep in mind that a character gains a 50% bonus to Strength by wielding a weapon with both hands, thus reducing the actual Strength required. |
| Damage Reduction %: |
The Damage Reduction stat dictates the percentage of damage reduced while blocking. The Damage Reduction stats for a weapon are W / X / Y / Z:

Dragonslayer Spear
Cross spear born from the soul of Ornstein, a Dragonslayer guarding Anor Londo cathedral.
Inflicts lightning damage; effective against dragons. Two-handed thrust relies on cross and buries spear deep within a dragon"s hide,
and sends human foes flying.
Availability
Created by the Giant Blacksmith in Anor Londo from the Soul of Ornstein and any +10 Spear1 or Thrusting Sword, for 5,000 Souls
General Information
Unlike other weapons that scale with Faith, the Dragonslayer Spear gains Lightning damage - not Magic damage - from the Faith stat. It's also the only weapon in the game with scaling Lightning damage.
An easy way to obtain the Dragonslayer Spear is to downgrade the Lightning Spear dropped by the Mimic in Sen's Fortress to a +10 Spear, and then upgrading it to the Dragonslayer Spear. However, a +5 Dragonslayer Spear will not significantly outperform a +5 Lightning Spear at lower Faith levels (~16 or below) until the user well exceeds the required levels in Strength or Dexterity. A fully-upgraded Demon's Spear also has a higher overall damage rating at low Faith levels, and deals more Lightning damage at Faith levels of 42 and below.

- One-handed strong attack is a long range lightning bolt. It is calculated like any attack using the weapon's Physical and Lightning AR and the attack specific Motion Values (100 Physical, 110 Lightning). It has a range of approximately 28 ingame units, suffers from damage drop off at long ranges and does not benefit from the Hawk Ring. Degrades 20 Durability.
- Two-handed strong attack is a slow strike forward. Pressing R2 a second time will result in a close-range, delayed upward thrust that can knock opponents airborne or back.

Pike
Long spear with a very long red hilt.
Traditionally used by groups of soldiers.
Specially designed for distance thrusting.
Has the longest range of the non-projectile weapons, but its very length makes it somewhat difficult to handle.
Availability
Sold by Andre of Astora for 2,000 Souls
General Information
Spears are precise long-range weapons that are used for thrusting attacks. They allow attacks while holding a shield up to guard, providing simultaneous offense and defense.
Spears do not do well against a shield. They glance off the shield and do not stagger shielded enemies as easily as other weapon attack types.
Despite what the item description says, the Pike does not have the longest range of non-projectile weapons. The Silver Knight Spear, Dragonslayer Spear, Moonlight Butterfly Horn, and Demon's Spear are all longer.
On rare occasions the pike may "Launch" an enemy with its two-handed rolling attack. So far this has only happened on a killing blow.
Charging thrust attacks (backstep/run + R1) will carry the character over a long distance, hence can potentially cause falling off edges.

Key
| Damage: |
The Damage stat dictates how much damage the weapon does. The Damage stats for a weapon are W / X / Y / Z:
Each weapon has one or more physical damage types:
Certain enemies are weak or strong against different types of damage types. |
| Critical: | One of the multipliers (in percent) for the bonus damage on criticals, such as backstabs and ripostes. |
| Durability: | The health of the weapon. The effectiveness of the weapon will severely deteriorate when the durability falls below 30%. |
| Weight: | The weight of the weapon. Note that carrying over 50% of a character's Equip Burden will reduce the speed of their rolls, while going over 100% will reduce their regular speed to walking and attempts to roll or backstep will leave them momentarily stunned. |
| Stats Needed: |
The Stats Needed determines how high various Stats must be in order to wield the weapon effectively. The Requirement stats for a weapon are W / X / Y / Z:
Wielding a weapon without the required Strength and/or Dexterity will incur a penalty to the Physical damage of the weapon, while lower-than-required Magic and/or Faith will reduce the Magic damage of the weapon. Also keep in mind that a character gains a 50% bonus to Strength by wielding a weapon with both hands, thus reducing the actual Strength required. |
| Damage Reduction %: |
The Damage Reduction stat dictates the percentage of damage reduced while blocking. The Damage Reduction stats for a weapon are W / X / Y / Z:
|
| Stability: | The stability of the weapon. The higher this value, the less stamina is consumed when blocking attacks. |
| Frampt Souls: | This is the amount of souls players will receive if they feed the item to Kingseeker Frampt. |

Silver Knight Spear
The silver knights of Anor Londo guard the city using this beautifully slender weapon.
The spear can be wielded by both hands in a focused thrust that uses one"s body weight,
or swung in a large sweeping motion.
Availability
Drop from spear-wielding Silver Knights in Anor Londo (2% drop rate)
General Information
Although it does no magic damage and does not require Faith to wield, it possesses a "Holy" status modifier—making it a useful weapon for physical builds in the Catacombs and for permanently killing the Skeletons while fighting Gravelord Nito.
The spear's length is unusually long compared to others due to the fact that you hold this one by the hilt end rather than the middle of the spear.

Spear
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
Drop from spear-wielding Undead Soldiers in Undead Burg (2% drop rate)
Drop from Phalanxes in the Painted World of Ariamis (1% drop rate)
A Lightning Spear can be found in a Mimic chest in the Sen's Fortress
Sold by Undead Merchant (Male) in Undead Burg for 600 Souls
General Information
Spears are precise long-range weapons that are used for thrusting attacks. They allow attacks while holding a shield up to guard, providing simultaneous offense and defense.
Spears do not do well against a shield. They glance off the shield and do not stagger shielded enemies as easily as other weapon attack types.
Acquiring the Lightning Spear from Sen's Fortress is a viable option when trying to do the Knight's Honor achievement/trophy. After getting the spear, downgrade it to a Spear +10, then craft the weapon needed.

1-Handed
RB: Quick spear stabs, good range, with little horizontal spread, although they are more than capable of hitting two side-by-side enemies, and can very easily hit two lined up enemies. Note that you can also opt to stab while keeping your shield up in a phalanx-style technique. This will drain stamina quickly but it's good to have.
RT: Holding the spear lower down the haft, you thrust it far forward. Great range, but very slow. Learn the range for this because whiffing will hurt!
2-Handed
RB: Simple two handed thrust. Good range and damage.
RT: Huge two-handed lunge thrust. Great range and damage.
Jumping Attack: A graceful jump and thrust. One of the longest range melee attacks you can do. Useful for things you don't want to get anywhere near, like curse-breathing frogs.
