LocationGuardians around the Minor Erdtree

Weeping Peninsula

Starting Site of Grace: Tombsward

From Tombsward, climb toward the western Minor Erdtree and find the Erdtree Guardians around it. These are the masked enemies carrying long swordspears.
Defeat the weapon carriers and check their drops. Rest at a nearby grace and repeat until one drops Guardian's Swordspear. The Erdtree Avatar is not required for this farm.
Collect each defeated Guardian's drops and return to Tombsward to reset. The weapon is a random drop, separate from the mask and clothing.

LocationMinor Erdtree path southeast of Dragonbarrow Fork

Dragonbarrow

Starting Site of Grace: Dragonbarrow Fork

Start at Dragonbarrow Fork in northeastern Caelid. Follow the slope southeast toward the Minor Erdtree and look for the small masked guardians along the path.
Target the guardians, collect their glowing drops and leave the large Erdtree Avatar alone if you only want armor.
Collect the Guardians' drops for a chance at the swordspear. Rest at Dragonbarrow Fork to reset; the Avatar and Full Bloom clothing are unrelated to this weapon farm.

With Standard affinity, physical damage scales most strongly with Dexterity, with weaker Strength scaling.
Upgrade it with Smithing Stones. Its maximum upgrade is +25.
Can use compatible Ashes of War. Your choice of skill and the whetblades you've found determine which affinities you can apply.
Grease or a weapon enchantment can be applied while using an affinity that allows weapon buffs.
Requires 17 Strength and 16 Dexterity and weighs 9. Dexterity provides nearly all of its Standard scaling, despite its place in the halberd class.
Keen removes Strength scaling entirely and gives very strong Dexterity scaling. Extra effective Strength from two-handing therefore does not improve its Keen blade attack power, though two-handing still changes your attacks.
Its fast upward-sweeping light attacks differ from the ordinary halberd chop or thrust chains. Loretta's War Sickle shares this style but has a different fixed skill and Magic damage.
Starts with Spinning Slash for 6 FP and a 12-FP follow-up. Its golden appearance does not add Holy damage or prevent compatible skills and affinities.
It has no innate Poison or bleed. The clouds and root attacks used by certain Guardians are not automatically part of the player weapon.
The base drop chance is 2% at 100 Item Discovery. The special Full Bloom armor cutoff in Leyndell does not make the swordspear missable, since Guardians elsewhere also drop it.
