The bamboo lance is a recurring spear in the Dragon Quest series. It is very cheap, but not very powerful and only meant to get players by at the very start of an adventure.

Characteristics

This spear is a primitive weapon made from a length of bamboo sharpened to a point at the end. In some of the games, the spear or pole has some cloth wrapped around it as a rudimentary grip for ease of use. Typically it is one of the weakest, if not the weakest, weapon that appears in the game. Eventually, this position would be taken by the cypress stick in later games.

In the Japanese versions of the games, the bamboo pole from the original Dragon Quest, the bamboo spear from V to VII, and the bamboo lance that appeared in IX and X are considered three different weapons, but for the sake of simplicity, all three weapons have been combined for this article.

Appearances

Dragon Quest

Due to text restrictions in the Game Boy Color remake of Dragon Quest, the bamboo pole was renamed to Bamboo with a picture of a pole beside it. Additionally, Hero starts his quest with it in the Mobile, Android, iOS, and Switch versions of the game, although it is not equipped.
