Overview
The Bamboo Spear is a two-handed weapon in Crimson Desert described as a simple and effective spear that grants basic attack speed and critical rate. Despite that modest description, the numbers tell a different story. At 20 Attack Power with both Attack Speed Lv.1 and Critical Rate Lv.1, the Bamboo Spear is one of the most well-rounded two-handed weapons in the game. It matches the Absolute Justice Greatsword in raw attack power while adding two secondary bonuses on top.
Spears in Crimson Desert provide reach that other two-handed weapons lack. The Bamboo Spear's thrust attacks keep enemies at arm's length, giving you a safer spacing advantage compared to the sweeping arcs of greatswords and longswords. Combined with its speed and crit bonuses, it functions as both an offensive and defensive tool.

How to Obtain
The Bamboo Spear can be found on a weapons rack in the area before the Ludvig boss fight at Pailune Castle. It is placed there as a pickup for players who want an alternative weapon option before heading into the encounter. Since Ludvig is an aggressive boss who fights with lightning-infused twin blades, having a spear with superior reach can be a real advantage for maintaining safe distance.
Because the spear is found rather than purchased, there is no buy price associated with it. Its sell value of 1.20 Silver Coins is low, so selling it is not worthwhile. Keep it for combat use instead.
Combat Tips
The Bamboo Spear's thrust attacks are its defining advantage. Against Ludvig specifically, the extra reach lets you poke during openings that would be too risky with a shorter weapon. After Ludvig finishes a combo, step in with a quick thrust and step back out before his next attack chain begins.
Both secondary bonuses contribute to consistent damage. The Attack Speed Lv.1 bonus means your thrusts come out slightly faster than they would with other spears, and the Critical Rate Lv.1 bonus gives each hit a chance to deal bonus damage. Over a prolonged fight, the combination adds up.
Beyond the Ludvig fight, the Bamboo Spear remains useful for general exploration and combat. Its high base attack power and dual bonuses mean it stays competitive against enemies well past the point where you find it. With 5 core slots available for customization, it can be tailored to multiple playstyles.
