Like some Elden Ring weapons, the Vyke’s War Spear requires Somber Smithing Stones to level up. The Great spear also scales with Strength, Dexterity, and Faith, so players need to focus on these stats to increase the Vyke’s damage.

How To Get Vyke’s War Spear In Elden Ring
Vyke’s War Spear is dropped by Festering Fingerprint Vyke after defeating him inside the Church of Inhibition. The church is located southwest of the Grand Lift of Dectus in the northern parts of Liurnia of the Lakes. It’s advised to head to the Church of Inhibition from the Grand Lift of Dectus instead of the Mausoleum Compound Site of Lost Grace.
That’s because if Tarnished attempt to reach the church from the Mausoleum Compound bonfire, players may end up either at the Minor Erdtree or the Elden Ring Black Knife Catacombs.
Instead, head to the Grand Lift of Dectus Site of Lost Grace and head southwest down the stairs. Now, turn southeast and sprint past the goats and between the trees, until players find a corpse on the ground that holds a Smithing Stone [2]. Here, the Frenzy-Flaming Tower will attack Tarnished with Madness.
To evade the Madness build-up, walk further to the south and stand next to the Elden Ring Erdtree Leaf crafting material until the Madness build-up disappears. After that, keep heading southeast until a broken wall appears.
Behind this wall is the Frenzied Flame Village, full of Madness-inflicting enemies. Ignore the monsters, proceed west between the two shacks, circle the last house to the right, and climb the small slope.
Once players climb the slope, the Frenzy-Flaming Tower should be to the right and the Church of Inhibition to the northwest.
Run in the same direction to reach the church and light the Site of Lost Grace near the dead Finger Maiden. Upon entering the destroyed building, players will get invaded by Festering Fingerprint Vyke.
Defeating the enemy rewards Tarnished with Elden Ring Runes, Furlcalling Finger Remedy, Fingerprint Grape, and most importantly, the Vyke’s War Spear.
The Fingerprint Grape is part of Hyetta’s Questline, who’s in search of a distant light that she can only feel by eating special grapes. Tarnished may also loot the Finger Maiden Elden Ring Armor set from the dead body and soak Lord of Blood’s Favor in her blood as part of the White Mask Varee Quest.
Elden Ring is available now for PC, PlayStation 4 and 5, and Xbox One and Series X|S.
