The Dragonslayer Spear is a spear in Dark Souls.

In-Game Description

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[]

The Dragonslayer Spear is obtained by ascending any Standard +10 spear or thrusting sword at the Giant Blacksmith in Anor Londo with the Soul of Ornstein and 5,000 souls.

Characteristics[]

The Dragonslayer Spear is considerably larger than most others. Its one-handed strong attack fires a ranged lightning bolt that will drain 20 durability every use. It also has some of the best multi-skill scaling of any weapon. The Strength and Dexterity scaling go towards the physical damage of the weapon, whereas the Faith scaling goes towards the lightning damage.
