A war spear singed and blistered by the Fingers, Vyke’s War Spear in Elden Ring is afflicted with as much frenzy as its holder, Vyke. Once wielded by the Roundtable Knight Vyke, this war spear is now a slave to the will of three fingers.
Vyke’s War Spear is a unique drop in Elden Ring and can only be obtained once per playthrough. In this guide, we will tell you how to find it and how you can use it to craft a powerful Dexterity build around it.
Vyke’s War Spear Location in Elden Ring
Vyke’s War Spear in Elden Ring can be obtained by killing the Festering Fingerprint Vyke near the Church of Inhibition.
Church of Inhibition can be found in the northeastern Liurnia, past the Village of the Frenzied Flame.
Start from the Grand Lift of Dectus site of grace and follow the path southeast to reach the Frenzied Flame Village. There is a massive tower in the village that induces frenzy in the players.
To avoid this tower, either use cover or any armor that grants protection against frenzy. Reach the tower and kill all the rats to deactivate the tower. Once the tower is deactivated, travel to the northwest of the Village to find the Church of Inhibition.
On the path to the church, you will be invaded by the Festering Fingerprint Vyke, who uses the same spear to attack you. However, his attacks are slow and can be avoided easily. Make sure not to let him hit you, or every attack will cause Frenzy buildup.
Once you kill Vyke, he will drop the Vyke’s War Spear alongside the Fingerprint Grape.
