Pike | Dark Souls 3 Wiki

Never would've known this existed if it hadn't shown up in the weapons list; you couldn't pay me enough to farm those tree huggers for one of these lmao

Submit

Went from 0 souls to 24,000 souls farming the stickmen, got 2 shards. Killed two shield hollows, got a pike. Go figure!

Submit

Dropped by zombies wielding small trees...

Submit

Pike gets A scaling in Strength when heavy infused, not B or C

Submit

What is it with DS3 and making basic weapons super rare drops from random enemies? Falchion, Pike and Flamberge. They're not special or specific to Lothric so why can't they just have a smith sell them instead of killing guys with logs that drop a pike for no reason?

Submit

This is the weapon all the pkcs post guys are misspelling, right?

Submit

whats worth more? Pound of flesh or a gallon of blood?

Submit

For what it appears to be, this weapon is dangerous. Don’t understand a STR build Pike.

Submit

Do multihit attacks proc status effects multiple time? Like would blood infused make each part of the running attack and weapon art proc multiple times?

Submit

But I wanted the branch the swamp Yokels are carrying :'(

Don't anyone be dissing the regular old Pike. On a 66 Strength/15 Dex build and infused with heavy, this thing can easily fill the much needed spear slot anyone would need. Be it jolly cooperation or wicked invasions, it preforms extremely well against greatswords when two handed as it outranges them, you just have to avoid trading. The Pike has an extremely useful R2 for whiff punishing, while I might be wrong here it seems to have increased range than the two handed R1. If said opponent is overly aggressive, or facing ganks, forget straight sword turn and burn. This thing comes out reliably when your backs to the enemy, often catching them by surprise.

Submit

This drops from guys who attack you with tree branches? Where were they hiding this?

Submit

heavy +10 has A scaling for STR, not B

Submit

Feels like the R2s are faster on the Pike, while the R1s are faster on the LKLS

Submit

Something that I found interesting was the double R2 combo that seems to extend the reach. Does the Lothic Knight Long Spear have the same combo?

Submit

I'm picke rick

Submit

This weapon is outperformed by the Lothric Knight Long Spear in nearly all fronts. You can farm the LKLS way earlier than the Pike, only better in Heavy infusion for some reason by 15 AR at the hard cap, a mere 0.5 units lighter, it's status as the longest spear in the game is questionable, and most of all, doesn't give poise bonus. So why does this weapon exist again?

Submit

it also drops from spear and shield wielding hollows before the Crystal Sage bossroom not just the twig-hollows.

Submit

dafuq? i wanted a treebranch to drop not this crap. CMON MIZAZAKI... YOUR BETTER THAN THAT!

Submit

I wanted a giant twig, not a pike From. Geez get it right.

Submit

correct me if i'm wrong, but I thought the pike got A scaling in Dex when sharp and +10?

Submit

For such a long string of the word "long", the longest weapon in the game doesn't have a very long description.


Mmmm, long.

Length.
Good stuff.

Submit

500 hours and I've only ever seen the pike drop once or twice from the tree weilding hollows. For the first time I make a spear focused character, two pikes drop on my first run through the area wielding my spear. Maybe it's just a crazy coincidence, but it makes me wonder if wielding a spear improves drop chance as a kind of secret advantage to spear users.

Submit

I think it's pretty strange if the cloaked hollows inside the crucifixion woods ruins drop this. Shouldn't they drop the regular Spear like hollow soldiers encountered earlier in the game ? Most likely an oversight.

Submit

Probably just my bad luck but it seems like the spear wielding hollows in the stone fort along the way to the crystal sage very rarely drop the pike. In my experience one would have far better luck farming the branch wielding hollows from halfway fortress bonfire.

Submit

Would someone please like to add the fact that the spear wielding hollows in the castle on the Road of Sacrifices also drop Pikes?I've gotten at least 3 from the hollow ambushing you past a short bridge from the Woods bonfire.P.S if I edit it, it won't save, so that's why I'm asking

Submit

Can someone please add that the spear wielding hollows in the Road of Sacrifices drop them too? When I try to edit the page, it doesn't save

As a Pike class spear, it has a different moveset compared to other spears, notably being slower. It claims that it's used for its reach, but the only other Pike class in the game, Lothric Knight Long Spear, is actually longer by about a centimeter. It took some precise maneuvering, but I got myself to a point where the LKLS could strike a wall, but the Pike couldn't. Furthermore, I believe the sweetspot tip is larger on the LKLS as well.Overall, it's inferior. It even consumes the exact same amount of stamina as the LKLS per swing. The only advantage is that it's 0.5 weight units lighter. What a shame.

Submit

Infuse it with Carthus Flame Arc or something like that and you can make from +85 up to ~250 more dmg

Submit

I'm curious to know if the description is true. While it obviously has far reach, it doesn't feel longer than some of the other spears and halberds.

Submit

Lost the first one I got and just spent the past few hours trying to get another one. Item discovery over 300 and finally got the replacement. Must be well worth it if it's this rare.

Submit

I admit I still haven't gotten around to farming this thing yet, but I really should give it a shot.Even to this day, not a whole lot of people knew how much of a nightmare this weapon was back in Dark Souls 1. Outpokes rapiers and all manner of Greatsword, high stagger, fast. It's the one weapon that even the dreaded DMB Falchion build could just never beat if used competently. Put that thing on someone with the dark wood grain ring (even if you had to trade all manner of poise to do so.), and maybe even buff it, and you were just untouchable. The few PvPers that knew about it were all very quiet about it for a long time, because we just didn't want to see this thing become popular back then. lolSo I doubt it's that good now, primarilly because there's no freaking flip ring to go along with it and really make it dumb, but I certainly hope not.

The Stability of this weapon and most others increases by a point every couple of levels. The increase is virtually unnoticeable in play, but it is there.

Submit

The Pike drops from the big wooden log wielding enemies right at the start of the swamp in the Road of Sacrifices
