===[[Dragon Quest IV]]===
==={{DQ4}} remake===
===[[Dragon Quest V]]===
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 [[Fungeon|bonus dungeon]]. It may only be equipped by [[Ragnar]] and [[Psaro]].
The demon spear has an attack bonus of +99, and has an increased chance of critical hit.
 
==={{DQ5}}===
The Demon spear has an attack 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.
*In the SNES version, the spear is coded in the same way as the [[Poison needle]] and is thus guaranteed to always deal at least 1 damage.
 
==={{DQ6}}===
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 [[Mortamor's Dreadlair|Dreadlair]] on floor two and can be sold for 18,750 gold or 21,562 gold after it's been upgraded. [[Amos]], [[Carver]], [[Nevan]], [[Ashlynn]] and [[Terry]] can equip it.  


===[[Dragon Quest VI]]===
==={{DQ7}}===
===[[Dragon Quest VII]]===
The Demon spear can be sold for 12,500 gold, 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.  
===[[Dragon Quest VIII]]===
The demon spear has an attack bonus of +86....but it is cursed.


Recipe: [[Battle fork]] + [[Poison needle]] + [[Devil's tail]]
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 [[Gracolyte]]s at a rate of {{fraction|1|128}} and is also the reward for the Ocean's Overlord traveller's tablet.


===[[Dragon Quest IX]]===
==={{DQ8}}===
The demon spear has an attack bonus of +86 and returns to the original 1/8th rate. The [[Hero (Dragon Quest VIII)|Hero]] can equip it. It can be sold for 12,500 gold, 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.

The forging manual for the demon spear is the ''[[List of fun-size forge recipe book locations in Dragon Quest XI|The Devil's in the Details]]'' book, which is found on a [[Heliodor]] castle bookshelf.
===''[[Dragon Quest Heroes]]''===
[[Kiryl]]'s attack and defence are increased by +70 and +15 respectively when the demon spear is equipped, and the instant death chance is 2%. This sounds minuscule, but each strike made by the priest has a chance to trigger the effect.
