The Iron Spear is a Spear in Elden Ring. It is found in Nokron, Eternal City, around the middle of a run.

The Iron Spear is a common, severely rusted iron spear with no notable traits. Fallen Hawk Soldiers drop it at a 2% base rate, with several near the Nokron, Eternal City Site of Grace. It scales with Strength and Dexterity, becomes a solid quality spear with a Quality affinity, and its guard counters turn into thrusting counterattacks. Its fast thrusts also make it good at applying status with the right affinity and Ash of War, so it suits an early quality or status build.

Skill

Charge Forth costs 16 FP. The wielder lowers the weapon to the hip and charges forward, carrying the momentum into a powerful piercing thrust. Holding the button extends the charge to cover more ground before the thrust lands. Only the final thrust can be parried, and the long reach makes it a fast way to close distance on a distant target. It is the weapon's default Ash of War, so another can take its place.

"Quickly charge forward with the armament at the hip, carrying the momentum into a thrust. Hold to cover a greater distance."

Suggested Build

A quality or status spear: fast thrusts stack status or successive-hit buffs, while guard counters land as thrusting counterattacks.

Stats	Strength and Dexterity raised together to 60 each for a Quality affinity, Vigor 40 then 60, Endurance 20 to 30
Affinity	Quality for even Strength and Dexterity scaling, or Blood, Cold or Poison with a matching Ash of War.
Ash of War	Blood Tax, Seppuku, Chilling Mist or Poisonous Mist for status; Charge Forth, its default, for a charging thrust that knocks enemies down.
Talismans	Rotten Winged Sword Insignia, Spear Talisman, Curved Sword Talisman

Notes
