Pilgrim's Spontoon

In-Game Description

Spontoon used by warriors on pilgrimage.
Rather worn from the long journey
it has doubtless seen.

A spear which also doubles as
a catalyst for sorceries, making it an
ideal choice for light-footed pilgrims.

Effect: use sorcery (strong attack)

Availability

Brume Tower treasure. From the Upper Floor bonfire head into the main room with the moving platforms and go right to the moving platform (across the gap is a room with four doors and an Iron Warrior).
Ride the platform down, while facing the wall and looking right. At the very bottom of the platforms movement is a small ledge with a short hallway, jump into it to find the weapon in a metal chest.

Notes

• Can be used as a Staff. Using the strong attack will cast Sorceries or staff based Hexes.

• Enchanting Pilgrim's Spontoon with Magic Weapon/Great Magic Weapon/Crystal Magic Weapon increases its Magic Damage, which also increases the damage of Sorceries cast with it.
  • The same is true for Dark Weapon/Resonant Weapon: enchanting it with either spell increases its Dark Damage, as well as the damage of Hexes cast with it.

• It uses more stamina to cast than other Spell Tools, probably due to casts counting as a "strong attack".

• Like all weapons in the left hand, stamina consumption is higher compared to swings on the right hand. However, unlike staves, the Pilgrim's Spontoon also loses damage on both swings and casts if wielded left-handed.

• The Pilgrim's Spontoon can be powerstanced, but strong attacking with the left weapon won't cast a spell, it will just use the powerstanced strong attack.

• Despite being classified as a 'spear' it is actually closer to being a spell tool as it can only be infused with Magic and Dark.

• Spells will benefit from the counter damage bonus. This makes it potentially the most powerful catalyst, but its usefulness is offset by its high stat requirements.

• The normal spear thrusting attacks can benefit from the Old Leo Ring during counters, despite being purely elemental damage. Old Leo Ring does not affect any spells cast from the weapon, however.

Key

Damage:	The Damage stat dictates how much damage the weapon does. The Damage stats for a weapon are A / B / C / D / E: A is Physical Damage B is Magical Damage C is Fire Damage D is Lightning Damage E is Dark Damage Each weapon has one or more physical damage types: Striking Slashing Thrusting Certain enemies are weak or strong against different damage types. See Weakness for physical reduction, Resistance for elemental reduction.
Aux Effect:	The Aux Effect stat dictates how effective the weapon will be at causing the effect. The Aux Effect stats for a weapon are A / B: A is Poison Effect B is Bleed Effect
Counter Strength:	Damage multiplier when hitting an enemy that is performing an action such as attacking. Value of 100 means no extra damage.
Poise Damage:	The ability of the weapon to break the poise of an enemy.
Stats Needed:	The Stats Needed determines how high various Stats must be in order to wield the weapon effectively. The stats required for a weapon are A / B / C / D: A is the Strength required B is the Dexterity required C is the Intelligence required D is the Faith required Wielding a weapon without the required Strength and/or Dexterity will incur a penalty to the Physical damage of the weapon, while lower-than-required Magic and/or Faith will reduce the Magic damage of the weapon. Also keep in mind that your character gains a 100% bonus to Strength by wielding a weapon with both hands, thus reducing the actual Strength required. For example, a character with 14 Strength can wield a Great Club (Requires 28 Strength) properly if the weapon is held with both hands. (14 x 2 = 28)
Stat Bonuses:	The Stat Bonuses rating indicates the level of bonus damage you do with the weapon, based on the associated Stat. This rating can be S, A, B, C, D, or E (in order from most to least bonus for the associated skill). See Scaling for more information. The Bonus Stats for a weapon are A/B/C/D/E/F: A is the Strength stat bonus that influences the physical attack of the weapon. B is the Dexterity stat bonus that influences the physical attack of the weapon. C is the Intelligence stat bonus that influences the Magical attack of the weapon. D is the Intelligence and Faith stat bonus that influences the Fire attack of the weapon. E is the Faith stat bonus that influences the Lightning attack of the weapon. F is the Intelligence or Faith stat bonus that influence the Dark attack of the weapon(The lower of the two stats is chosen as the bonus stat).
Damage Reduction:	The Damage Reduction % of the weapon. It dictates how much damage the weapon mitigates while blocking. The Damage Reduction % stats for weapons are A / B / C / D / E : A is Physical Damage B is Magical Damage C is Fire Damage D is Lightning Damage E is Dark Damage
Aux Effect Reduction:	The Aux Effect Reduction % of the weapon. It dictates how much of the effect the weapon mitigates while blocking. The Aux Effect Reduction % stats for a weapon are A / B / C / D: A is Poison Effect B is Bleed Effect C is Petrification Effect D is Curse Effect
Stability:	Determines the amount of stamina expended to block an incoming attack. A higher stability also allows you to block stronger attacks without breaking guard and reduces the amount of stamina depleted from blocking attacks.
Durability:	The durability of the weapon.
Weight:	The weight of the weapon. Note that carrying over 70% of your Equip Weight will reduce the speed of your rolls, while going over 100% will reduce your regular speed to walking and attempts to roll or backstep will leave you momentarily stunned.
Enchantable? Items/Spells:	Determines whether or not the weapon can receive a temporary damage buff by items and/or spells. Note that if you decided to infuse the weapon it cannot be enchanted by items.
