Deepwoken Ritual Spear [ Desktop ]

B+ tier. It’s a “knowledge check” weapon. New players will die to the bleed without understanding why. Veterans will parry your rhythm and punish your whiffed critical. However, in the hands of a Willpower/Medium hybrid build with Oathless and Crimson Roar, it becomes a terrifying death knight weapon that heals more than it hurts. Final Flavor Text (In-Game Lore) “The first Ritual Spear was not made to kill—it was made to listen. The priest would wound a heretic, then press his ear to the bloody tip, believing the dying screams echoed prophecies from the Drowned God. Now, it is used for quieter work. Every thrust pays a toll. You give blood. They give death.” Build suggestion: 40 Medium, 80 Willpower, 50 Fortitude, 25 Charisma (for Tough Love talent, healing on bleed triggers). Attunement: None – pure melee blood knight.

In the drowning, god-haunted world of Deepwoken, few weapons blur the line between ceremonial artifact and brutal instrument of murder quite like the Ritual Spear . At first glance, it appears to be a relic of the ancient Etrean or even pre-Etrean tribes—a long, dark-iron shaft wrapped in frayed, blood-brown leather, culminating in a jagged, obsidian-like point that seems to drink the light around it. But the Ritual Spear is no mere museum piece. It is a weapon of sacrifice, binding, and attrition, favored by those who understand that true power in the Luminant comes at a cost. Lore & Origins The Ritual Spear is not forged in the conventional fires of the Summer Company or the anvils of Erisia. Instead, it is consecrated in the deepest chasms of the Depths , where the veil between reality and the Drowning Veil is thinnest. Whispers among the Ministry say the first such spear was used by a forgotten Prophet of the Old Flame to anchor a binding ritual on a corrupted Songseeker—pinning the creature to the physical world so it could be slain permanently. deepwoken ritual spear
