For the Dark Souls III variant, see Pike (Dark Souls III).

The Pike is a spear in Dark Souls.

In-Game Description

Long spear with a very long red hilt. Traditionally used by groups of soldiers. Specially designed for distance thrusting. Has the longest range of all non-projectile weapons, but its very length makes it somewhat difficult to handle.

Availability

Can be bought from Andre of Astora in the Undead Parish for 2,000 souls.

Characteristics

The Pike is, for the most part, very similar to the Spear, but trades higher requirements, weight and stamina consumption in exchange for slightly greater reach and higher damage. The Pike and the Spear share similar movesets too. The exception is the Pike's running attack: unlike the Spear (which simply does a running lunge) the Pike's running attack utilizes the player's momentum to drive the Pike a considerable distance, hitting enemies multiple times. This gives the Pike interesting tactical and strategic options, but the maneuver has its drawbacks as it takes quite some time to perform, potentially leaving the player open to enemy attacks, and it also requires enemies to not strafe.

The Pike has the highest damage potential out of all spears with a quality build. It outperforms the other physical damage spears due to higher base damage or Strength scaling, and lacks the split damage of the spears that have higher AR. (Split damage is penalized against enemy armor, which lowers the performance of weapons that deal more than one damage type, despite their high AR.)
