There are 5 Spear mastery challenges in Crimson Desert, collectively called the Sharpened Spear series. Spear challenges emphasize speed, volume of hits, and specific attack types. Completing all five unlocks the Master of Spears trophy and achievement.
You must collect the Sealed Abyss Artifact associated with each challenge before your progress will start counting. Use the Guiding Light ability to spot artifacts in the world.

Sharpened Spear 4 | Defeat 3 enemies within 1 minute using a Spear Leap Attack | Demeniss, intersection west of Flame Knight's Castle | 1x Abyss Artifact, 1x Faded Abyss Artifact, 1x Insight I |

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.
Sharpened 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.
Completing the Sharpened Spear series awards multiple Abyss Artifacts, the Gale II passive (increased attack speed with spears), Insight I (bonus experience from combat), and a Faded Abyss Artifact from challenge 4. The Master of Spears trophy unlocks after clearing all five.
