Revision 2

Overview

The 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.

The 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 Kliff, damaging 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.

How to Obtain

Crafting the Kuku Flame Spear requires unlocking the blueprint, gathering the base weapon, and collecting crafting materials. The process has several steps.

Step 1: Unlock the Blueprint

Complete the Sanctum of Exaltation in Paleoon. 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.

Step 2: Obtain the Flame Spear

The base Flame Spear is found at the Ash Clock Keep in Paleoon. This location becomes available after a story encounter around Chapter 6 or 7. Once the story mission is complete, return to the main courtyard and look for an upper terrace where the spear can be collected.

Warning: 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.

Step 3: Gather Crafting Materials

In addition to the Flame Spear, you need a standard Kuku Spear (craftable at the shop), lubricant, and batteries. These materials drop from robotic enemies in Delesyia:

• Power Cells: Dropped by the larger robot enemies along the road from the Abyss Core impact site in Delesyia.

• Lubricant: Dropped by smaller, easier robotic enemies found north of the area, closer to Marni's Outpost.

• Small Batteries: Dropped by various robotic enemies throughout Delesyia.

Step 4: Craft at Kilnden Workshop

Bring 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.

Combat Performance

The 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:

• Light attacks

• Heavy attacks

• Spinning slash combos

• All other spear attack types (10 total imbued hits)

Because 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.

Tips

• Never 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.
