LocationStormveil Castle main courtyard

Limgrave

Starting Site of Grace: Liftside Chamber

Before you go

Reach Liftside Chamber inside Stormveil Castle, beside the main courtyard. Godrick does not need to be defeated to farm the soldiers outside this grace.
Leave Liftside Chamber and search the courtyard for the Exile Soldiers carrying long poles with burning torches at their tips.
Defeat those torchpole carriers and check their drops. Rest at the grace and repeat if needed. Soldiers holding a small hand torch carry different equipment.

A Spear despite the torch on its tip. Requires 14 Strength and 15 Dexterity, and weighs six. Strength and Dexterity give equal physical scaling; its small Fire portion has no attribute scaling.
Its longer spear thrusts deal physical pierce and Fire damage. It does not use the raised-torch stance for lighting the surroundings like an ordinary left-hand torch.
Charge Forth is fixed and costs 16 FP. It advances with the spear extended, useful when you have a clear approach rather than when an enemy is already interrupting your startup.
Cannot use a replacement Ash of War or affinity, even though it uses regular reinforcement. Grease and weapon enchantments cannot be applied.
Upgrade it with Smithing Stones to +25. It has no native ailment or passive boost to Fire attacks made with other equipment.
Has a 2% base drop chance at 100 Discovery from the Exile Soldiers actually carrying burning pole weapons. Ordinary hand-torch soldiers and the torchless Exiles are different targets.
Rest at Liftside Chamber to repeat the courtyard farm. Higher Discovery improves the chance, but a single correct carrier is not guaranteed to drop it.
