Vyke's War Spear is a Great Spear in Elden Ring. It is picked up mid-game, in Liurnia of the Lakes.

Vyke's War Spear is a war spear singed and blistered by fingers, used by Vyke, Knight of the Roundtable Hold, and tormented like Vyke himself by the yellow flame of frenzy from within. It is the reward for defeating Festering Fingerprint Vyke at the Church of Inhibition in northeastern Liurnia of the Lakes. It splits its damage between physical and fire, builds madness at 65, and shares a horizontal sweep heavy attack with Siluria's Tree and the Serpent-Hunter. Its unique skill, Frenzyflame Thrust, leaps forward and plunges the spear into the ground for a maddening explosion that also inflicts madness on the user. It scales with Dexterity at C and Faith at D and suits a Dexterity and Faith hybrid, especially against other players.

Skill

Frenzyflame Thrust costs 14 FP. The wielder bathes the spear in the yellow flame of frenzy, leaps forward, and plunges it into the ground to set off a maddening explosion. The plunge, the explosion and the flames it leaves deal fire damage and build up madness, and the wielder takes some madness buildup as well. The skill is unique to this weapon and cannot be swapped out.

"Imbue the spear with the flame of frenzy and leap forwards, plunging it into the ground and setting off a maddening explosion. The skill inflicts both the enemy and the user with madness."

Suggested Build

A Dexterity and Faith spear that builds madness to drain both HP and FP, which is especially strong against other players, while guarding against its own skill's self-inflicted madness.

Stats	Dexterity 60, Faith 45, Vigor 40 to 50, Mind 29, Endurance 20, Strength at its requirement of 16
Affinity	Cannot be infused; it keeps its own scaling.
Talismans	Clarifying Horn Charm, Prosthesis-Wearer Heirloom, Two Fingers Heirloom

Notes

"War spear singed and blistered by fingers, used by Vyke, Knight of the Roundtable Hold. Like Vyke himself, it has been tormented by the yellow flame of frenzy from within."
