11Overview22The Kuku Flame Spear is a reinforced two-handed weapon in Crimson Desert that causes fire explosions on every single hit. It is crafted at the Kilnden Workshop by reinforcing a Flame Spear with the Kuku Iron Pot. Unlike its base version, the Kuku Flame Spear will never break and can be further upgraded through the Refining System. It does not have any Abyss Gear sockets, so no additional elemental effects can be applied.55The fire explosion effect triggers on all 10 attack types, including light attacks, heavy attacks, and spinning slashes. Each explosion hits in a large radius around Kliffdamaging enemies to the sides and even slightly behind. This makes it one of the strongest crowd-control weapons in the game for area damage output.77Stats99AttributeValueWeapon TypeSpear (Two-Handed)Base Attack Power12Critical RateLv. 1Attack SpeedLv. 1Elemental AffinityFireSpecial EffectFire explosion on every hit (10 imbued attacks)RefinableYesAbyss Gear Sockets4 (added in patch 1.06.00; previously 0)BreakableNo (reinforced)1111Stats1212The following stats are.1414AttributeValueWeapon TypeTwo-Handed SpearGradeLegendary (Orange)Attack Power6Attack (+0)12Attack (+10)351616Enhancement Levels1717Level+0+1+2+3+4+5+6+7+8+9+10Attack12141618202224262932351919How to Obtain2020Crafting the Kuku Flame Spear requires unlocking the blueprintgathering the base weapon, and collecting crafting materials. The process has several steps.2222Step 1: Unlock the Blueprint2424Complete the Sanctum of Exaltation in Pailune. Clearing this sanctum rewards the Kuku Flame Spear blueprint at Grimnir's Kuku Shop. The Sanctum of Exaltation is part of the witch quest line, which opens up as you progress through the main story.2626Step 2: Obtain the Flame Spear2828The base Flame Spear is found at the Ash Clock Keep in Pailune. This location becomes available after a story encounter around Chapter 6 or 7. Once the story mission is completereturn to the main courtyard and look for an upper terrace where the spear can be collected.3030Warning: Do not use the Flame Spear in its unreinforced state. It will break after roughly five hits and be lost permanently unless you reload a save file. Keep it in your inventory until you bring it to the workshop.3232Step 3: Gather Crafting Materials3434In addition to the Flame Spear, you need a standard Kuku Spear (craftable at the shop)lubricantand batteries. These materials drop from robotic enemies in Delesyia3636Power CellsDropped by the larger robot enemies along the road from the Abyss Core impact site in Delesyia.LubricantDropped by smaller, easier robotic enemies found north of the area, closer to Marni's Outpost.Small BatteriesDropped by various robotic enemies throughout Delesyia.3838Step 4: Craft at Kilnden Workshop4040Bring all materials to Grimnir at the Kilnden Workshop west of Hernand. Craft the Kuku Spear first if you have not already, then combine all components to produce the Kuku Flame Spear.4242Crafting Materials4444MaterialQuantitySourceFlame Spear1Ash Clock KeepPailune (story encounter)Kuku Spear1Crafted at Kilnden WorkshopSmall Batteries2Robotic enemies in DelesyiaLubricant1Smaller robotic enemies near Marni's Outpost4646Combat Performance4747The fire explosion effect is what sets this weapon apart from every other spear. Every hit triggers an AoE fire explosion in a large radius around Kliff. This is not limited to frontal attacks; enemies to the side or slightly behind are also hit. The explosion triggers on:4949Light attacksHeavy attacksSpinning slash combosAll other spear attack types (10 total imbued hits)5151Because every attack triggers the explosion, the Kuku Flame Spear has exceptional sustained AoE damage. It excels in encounters with multiple enemies clustered together, making it one of the best weapons for clearing groups of trash mobs.5353Tips5555Never use the base Flame Spear before reinforcing it. It will shatter after a few hits.The Kuku Flame Spear can be refined to increase its damage further, even though it lacks Abyss Gear sockets.Pair this weapon with fire-resistant armor to offset any fire-based environmental hazards while fighting in close quarters.For single-target boss damage, consider the Kuku Bismuth Spear instead, which provides both a slow effect and a significant damage bonus against slowed targets.5757Post-1.06 Abyss Slot Expansion5959Patch 1.06.00 expanded every spear in the Kuku Spear family to four Abyssal slots, including the Kuku Flame Spear. Older guides describing the spear as having zero sockets pre-date this change. With the slot expansion the Kuku Flame Spear now runs the same endgame loadout as the rest of the Kuku family: stack Crit Rate III gears in the open slots and finish with one Hound's Claws for the spinning slash AoE.6161The Kuku Flame Spear is a special case among the Kuku family because of its base statline. It carries the ideal Kuku archetype of two crit, one attack speed, and 35 base attack damage. Because the base crit is already strong, the spear hits the practical crit ceiling with only two Crit Rate III gears instead of three, leaving the fourth slot open for an attack gear or another utility option. In published benchmark runs the spear has been shown to perform well with three abyss gears (two Crit III plus Hound's Claws), and the fourth socket can be used to push the spear's damage ceiling further with an Attack III gear without losing crit consistency.6363Boss Clear Performance (Post-1.06)6565Against the Ogre benchmark, the Kuku Flame Spear posts clear times of approximately 30 seconds with only three abyss gears slotted. With a full four-slot loadout the spear is expected to push closer to the Kuku Laser Cannon Spear for top-end damage, though it lacks the laser cannon's ranged utility. Times vary by run, character level, and Refining tier, so figures should be read as relative benchmarks rather than guaranteed clears.6767Why Fire Synergy Holds Up6969The fire affinity remains one of the more consistent elemental setups in the game at the time of writing, alongside Lightning. The fire explosion triggers on every attack type (light, heavy, and spinning slash variants), and because each detonation hits in an area, the spear works as both a single-target damage tool and an AoE clear weapon without changing the rotation. The Hound's Claws sweep then layers on top, producing overlapping circles of damage that catch anything in melee range.7171Recommended Abyss Gear Loadout (Post-1.06)7373SlotRecommended GearReasonSlot 1Crit Rate IIIStacks on top of the base two crit so the spear's higher base attack lands more crits per swing.Slot 2Crit Rate IIISecond crit stack to finish the crit curve; the base statline lets you stop at two crits and add utility in slot 3 if desired.Slot 3Attack IIIOptional. The two-crit base statline means the third crit is less impactful; an attack gear extracts more damage per swing.Slot 4Hound's ClawsAdds an AoE claw sweep on every spinning slash, stacking with the fire explosion that already triggers per hit.7575Players who already have three Crit Rate III gears stockpiled can substitute the third into slot 3 instead of an Attack III. The performance gap is small and either option is reasonable; the Attack III pick is recommended only because the Flame Spear's base crit makes the third crit stack less marginal.7676Where It Sits on the Tier List7878On the post-1.06 Kuku ranking the Kuku Flame Spear sits in fourth place, with the gap to the third-place Kuku Bismuth Spear coming down to consistency rather than peak damage. Reviewers note that the Flame Spear takes more attempts to reach its best clear time than the Bismuth, but its raw power ceiling is essentially equal. The full ranking is on the Weapon Tier List.8080If you only had access to one Kuku spear and removed every other option, the Kuku Flame Spear would still be the strongest weapon in the game by a comfortable margin. Its fourth-place ranking is a statement about how strong the rest of the family is, not a knock on the spear itself.8282See Also8484Flame Spear - The base version required for craftingKuku Lightning Spear - The electric variantKuku Bismuth Spear - The bismuth variantKilnden Workshop - The crafting locationSanctum Secret Puzzles - How to solve the dial puzzles for EffigiesTwo-Handed Weapons - All two-handed weapons list8686Database Stats8888Grade: T4 · Type: TWO-HANDED SPEAR · Max Refinement: +10 · Max Attack: 35 · Max Critical Rate: Lv 29090Refinement Levels9292LevelAttackAttack SpeedCritical RatePrice (Silver)Materials+012Lv 1Lv 11None+114Lv 1Lv 113x Iron Ore+216Lv 1Lv 114x Iron Ore+318Lv 1Lv 116x Iron Ore, 3x Copper Ore+420Lv 1Lv 118x Iron Ore, 6x Copper Ore+522Lv 1Lv 1110x Iron Ore, 9x Copper Ore, 2x Bloodstone, 1x Abyss Artifact+624Lv 1Lv 1112x Iron Ore, 12x Copper Ore, 4x Bloodstone, 1x Abyss Artifact+726Lv 1Lv 1115x Iron Ore, 15x Copper Ore, 6x Bloodstone, 1x Abyss Artifact+829Lv 1Lv 1118x Iron Ore, 18x Copper Ore, 9x Bloodstone, 3x Scolecite Ore, 1x Abyss Artifact+932Lv 1Lv 1135x Iron Ore, 30x Copper Ore, 15x Bloodstone, 9x Scolecite Ore, 1x Abyss Artifact+1035Lv 1Lv 211x Aeserion's Scale, 1x Abyss Artifact9494Crafted at: Cook KukuPot.
