1010 The spear is one of the fastest melee weapons in the game, and these challenges lean into that speed. Several objectives require high hit counts in tight time windows, so you need to stay aggressive.

1212 TipDetailsSharpened Spear 1: Fifteen counterattacks in 30 seconds sounds intimidating, but the spear's counter window is forgiving. Find a group of enemies that attacks frequently (bandits with swords work well) and parry their strikes. Each successful parry followed by a counter-thrust counts as one.Sharpened Spear 2: Fifty hits in half a minute. Use the spear's rapid poke combo (tap the basic attack button repeatedly) against a dense group. Larger enemies like bears or trolls also work because they absorb many hits before dying, giving you time to rack up the count.Sharpened Spear 3: Fifteen seconds is very tight. You need five Stab kills, so target the weakest enemies you can find. Weaken a cluster first with a few general hits, then finish each one with a Stab.Sharpened Spear 4: The Spear Leap Attack covers ground quickly. Jump into a group, land the hit, then sprint to the next target. One minute is enough time if you know where the enemies are before starting.

1717 Sharpened Spear 5: This no-damage challenge is the toughest in the spear series. Focus on weak enemy groups and use the spear's reach advantage to hit enemies before they can swing at you. The spear's counterattack skill is especially useful here since you can parry incoming hits and retaliate without taking damage.
