11 Overview
22  
33 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.

55 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.

99 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:
1010  
1111 Community testing has confirmed the Frost Fang Spear has 18 base attack and level 1 attack speed. Combined with the Spirit Siphon Abyss Core, which drains the life force out of enemies, the spear fuels increasingly powerful Shattering Frost attacks. This makes the Frost Fang the gold standard for players who rely on spirit abilities over raw physical damage.

1919 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.

2121 Ice Build Synergy
2222  
2323 The Frost Fang Spear is the centerpiece of a dedicated ice-focused spirit build. It pairs naturally with the Icewing Plate Armor (8 defense, 0.1 spirit regen per second passive) and the unique Shattering Frost Abyss Core. Together, these three pieces form a feedback loop: the Spirit Siphon core on the spear restores spirit with each hit, the Icewing Plate's passive regeneration adds a steady trickle of spirit recovery on top, and the Shattering Frost core converts that spirit into devastating ice attacks.

2626 This build excels in prolonged fights where sustained spirit generation translates into repeated Shattering Frost activations. Against bosses with long health pools, the ice build can out-damage raw attack builds simply because it never runs out of spirit to fuel its strongest moves.

2828 How to Obtain
2929  
3030 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.
3131  
3232 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.

3434 Prerequisite Quest Chain
3535  
3636 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:
3737  
3838 10 House Roberts quests6 House Alfonso quests10 House Circus quests2 House Celeste quest chains6 Vela Fisherman's Guild questsHernandian Parish of Solomon questsHellhounds questline (unlocks Legendary Wolf)3 Legendary Wolf quests5 House Felix quests4 Beggar's Alliance quests5 House Grace quests3 Kuranso Croll Alliance quests"What the Stars Left Behind" for Skola Stone Institute"Frozen Elder Tree" for House Celeste
3939  
4040 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.

4242 Obtaining the Frost Fang and Icewing Plate
4343  
4444 Access to the Elder Tree quest line comes through progressing the Kuranso Troll Alliance quests. The exact prerequisites can be unclear; the recommended approach is to work through all available Hernand quest lines (especially the house quests) while advancing the Grey Main camp storyline.
4545  
4646 To get the Icewing Plate Armor, you must defeat Gwen Craber, a powerful boss who wields the Frost Fang Spear herself. Gwen is an aggressive fighter who uses powerful thrusts and wide sweeping attacks. Staying too close for too long will get you caught in her sweep combos, so dodge in, land a few hits, and dodge back out.
4747  
4848 After defeating Gwen Craber, clear the remaining enemies at the point of interest. This triggers the quest "Spear Left Behind." Return to the spot where you fought the boss and look for the weapon rack under the roof of the nearby hut. The Frost Fang Spear is resting on that rack, waiting to be picked up.

5050 Comparison to Other Spears
5151  
5252 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.
