Overview
The Frost Fang is a spear weapon in Crimson Desert that combines attack speed with spirit sustain. It is obtained as a reward after completing the "Frozen Elder Tree" quest for House Celeste and clearing the fort that follows. The spear leans toward an attack speed archetype rather than a pure power build, with Abyss Gears that support sustained combat through Spirit Siphon. Its visual design has been described as striking and distinct.
The Frost Fang is thematically linked to the Icewing Plate set, the armor of Gwen Kraber, captain of the Wolf Trackers. Both the spear and the chest piece (Icewing Plate Armor) are obtained through the same extended quest chain, making them natural companions.
Stats
Frost Fang is a spear-class weapon with an attack speed focus. The exact base damage numbers have not been published in database sources at this time, but the transcript confirms the following characteristics:
Detail | Information |
|---|---|
Weapon Type | Spear |
Archetype | Attack Speed (not pure Attack) |
Abyss Gear Slots | 3 (all pre-filled) |
Abyss Gears
Frost Fang comes with three Abyss Gear sockets pre-filled, giving it a well-rounded offensive profile:
Gear Slot | Abyss Gear | Effect |
|---|---|---|
Socket 1 | Spirit Siphon Lv 1 | Recovers spirit on successful hits. Allows sustained use of skills and special attacks without running dry. |
Socket 2 | Attack Speed Lv 1 | Increases the speed of attack animations. Synergizes with the spear's multi-hit moveset to maximize damage per second. |
Socket 3 | Attack Lv 1 | Flat increase to attack damage. Straightforward damage boost on every hit. |
The combination of Spirit Siphon and Attack Speed creates a feedback loop: faster attacks mean more hits per second, which means more spirit recovered per second through Spirit Siphon. This makes Frost Fang especially effective for players who rely heavily on skill-based combat and need to maintain a steady spirit pool during extended encounters.
How to Obtain
Frost Fang is obtained after completing the "Frozen Elder Tree" quest for House Celeste in the Hernand region. The quest involves killing a powerful boss that is weak to fire and resistant to ice. After defeating the boss, you must also clear the associated fortress.
Once both the boss and the fort are cleared, you are instructed to pick up the Frost Fang spear. It is given to you as a direct reward at this point, not found in a hidden chest or side area.
Prerequisite Quest Chain
The Frozen Elder Tree quest is locked behind one of the longest prerequisite chains in the game, spanning the entire Hernand faction questline. You need to be at least Chapter 5 (possibly Chapter 6) of the main story, then complete the following in sequence:
10 House Roberts quests
6 House Alfonso quests
10 House Circus quests
2 House Celeste quest chains
6 Vela Fisherman's Guild quests
Hernandian Parish of Solomon quests
Hellhounds questline (unlocks Legendary Wolf)
3 Legendary Wolf quests
5 House Felix quests
4 Beggar's Alliance quests
5 House Grace quests
3 Kuranso Croll Alliance quests
"What the Stars Left Behind" for Skola Stone Institute
"Frozen Elder Tree" for House Celeste
For detailed puzzle solutions and step-by-step breakdowns of this chain, see the Icewing Plate Armor article, which is obtained from the same quest.
Comparison to Other Spears
Frost Fang is not the only notable spear in Crimson Desert. Gwen Kraber herself wields a giant spear as her boss weapon, and other spear-class weapons can be found throughout the game. What sets Frost Fang apart is its triple Abyss Gear loadout with Spirit Siphon, which is not commonly found on spear weapons. Most spears lean toward raw Attack or Damage stats, whereas Frost Fang prioritizes sustained combat through speed and spirit recovery.
