Appearances
Dragon Quest IV: Chapters of the Chosen remake
The Demon spear appears in the remakes of IV, and has an Attack bonus of +90 along with a 1/8th chance to kill foes. Two can be found in the Template:Bonus Dungeon, Fungeon. It may only be equipped by Ragnar and the 9th Chosen One.
Dragon Quest V: Hand of the Heavenly Bride
The Demon spear has anAttack bonus of +99 and a 1/6th chance to kill. Tuppence is the only human who may equip it, but several monster breeds can pick up the slack. It is sold in Precaria for 37,000 gold coins.
- In the SFC version, the spear is coded in the same way as the Poison needle and is thus guaranteed to always deal at least 1 damage.
Dragon Quest VI: Realms of Revelation
The Demon spear has an Attack bonus of +99, a Style bonus of +19 (+ 61 after it's been upgraded), and a 1/6th kill chance. It is found in the Dreadlair on floor two and can be sold for 18,750 gold coin or 21,562 gold coin after it's been upgraded. Amos, Carver, Nevan, Ashlynn and Terry can equip it.
- In the SFC version the spear is bugged and cannot kill any enemy immune to instant death.
Dragon Quest VII: Fragments of the Forgotten Past
The Demon spear can be sold for 12,500 gold coins, but not bought. It has an Attack bonus of + 99, a Style boost of +19, and a 1/6th penetration percent. Maribel, Sir Mervyn, and Aishe can equip it.
The spear is a reward for defeating Gracos V in both versions of the game, but if he is not defeated by the reappearance of Estard then it will be lost. In the 3DS version, the spear is dropped by Gracolytes at a rate of 1/128 and is also the reward for the Ocean's Overlord traveller's tablet.
Dragon Quest VIII: Journey of the Cursed King
The Demon spear has an Attack bonus of +86 and returns to the original 1/8th rate. The Hero can equip it. It can be sold for 12,500 gold coin, but not bought. Its alchemy recipe is Battle fork + Poison needle + Devil's tail.
A little known, considerably cruel combo can be pulled off by using the Hero's Clean Sweep skill, as the instant death effect is checked for all enemies struck.
