In-game description

A longspear featuring an especially lengthy handle.

Specialized for use from long distances, it boasts the longest reach of any melee weapon. Incredibly useful even against foes on horseback, but hard to wield in cramped spaces.

Where to find

Map pending
LocationStormveil Castle main courtyard

Limgrave

Starting Site of Grace: Liftside Chamber

Before you go

  • Reach Stormveil's main courtyard.
  1. Leave Liftside Chamber and head down into the large courtyard filled with soldiers, barricades and flamethrowers.
  2. Search the corpses in the open courtyard for the Pike. Clear the nearby soldiers or move behind cover before looting so the flamethrowers do not catch you standing still.
  3. The corpse lies among the courtyard's soldiers and defenses, rather than in the room beside the grace. Godrick does not have to be defeated, and his victory does not automatically award Pike.

Notes

  • With Standard affinity, physical damage scales most strongly with Strength, with weaker Dexterity 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 20 Strength and 14 Dexterity and weighs 7.5. Strength is its stronger Standard attribute.
  • Its exceptionally long reach is useful for keeping an enemy outside a shorter weapon's range. The long shaft can be awkward in cramped spaces and does not guarantee the tip will connect when an enemy is directly beside you.
  • Its distinctive heavy attack thrusts upward. That angle can help against an elevated target, but it is a different contact from a broad horizontal sweep.
  • Starts with Charge Forth for 16 FP. Holding the skill extends the run and can add several contacts before the finisher; walls, cliffs and a moving target can interrupt that plan.
  • It can attack from behind a shield, but its reach does not protect an exhausted guard. Keep stamina for the incoming attack as well as your next thrust.
  • There is no innate Blood Loss or elemental damage. The courtyard corpse is a fixed pickup available before Godrick, rather than a reward for clearing every flamethrower.
