Appearances
Dragon Quest IV
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 bonus dungeon. It may only be equipped by Ragnar and Psaro.
Dragon Quest V
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.
- 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.
Dragon Quest VI
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 or 21,562 gold after it's been upgraded. Amos, Carver, Nevan, and Terry can equip it.
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, Melvin, and Aira can equip it.
Dragon Quest VIII
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, 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.
