==={{DQ4}}===
The demon spear appears in the remakes of {{IV}}, and has an {{Attack}} bonus of +90 along with a 1/8th chance to kill foes. Two can be found in the [[bonus dungeon]], {{Fungeon 4}}. It may only be equipped by [[Ragnar McRyan]] and the {{Psaro 9}}.
 
==={{DQ5}}===
The demon spear has an {{Attack}} bonus of +99 and a 1/6th chance to kill. [[Tuppence]] is the only [[human]] who may equip it, but several monster breeds can pick up the slack. It is sold in [[Precaria]] for 37,000 {{Gold}}.
*In the {{SFC}} version, the spear is coded in the same way as the [[poison needle]] and is thus guaranteed to always deal at least 1 damage.
 
==={{DQ6}}===
The demon spear has an {{Attack}} bonus of +99, a {{Style}} bonus of +19 (+ 61 after it's been upgraded), and a 1/6th kill chance. It is found in the [[Mortamor's Dreadlair|Dreadlair]] on floor two and can be sold for 18,750 {{Gold}} or 21,562 {{Gold}} after it's been upgraded. [[Amos]], [[Carver]], [[Nevan]], [[Ashlynn]] and [[Terry]] can equip it.
*In the {{SFC}} version the spear is bugged and cannot kill any enemy immune to instant death.
 
==={{DQ7}}===
The demon spear can be sold for 12,500 {{Gold}}, but not bought. It has an {{Attack}} bonus of + 99, a {{Style}} boost of +19, and a 1/6th penetration percent. [[Maribel Mayde]], [[Sir Mervyn]], and [[Aishe]] can equip it.
 
The spear is a reward for defeating [[Gracos V]] in both versions of the game, but if he is not defeated by the reappearance of [[Estard]] then it will be lost. In the {{3DS}} version, the spear is dropped by [[gracolyte]]s at a rate of 1/128 and is also the reward for the Ocean's Overlord [[Traveller's Tablet]].
 
==={{DQ8}}===
The demon spear has an {{Attack}} bonus of +86 and the insta-kill chance has been lowered to 1/8th rate. The {{Hero 8}} can equip it. It can be sold for 12,500 {{Gold}}, but not bought. A little known, considerably cruel combo can be pulled off by using the {{Hero 8}}'s [[Clean Sweep]] skill, as the instant death effect is checked for all enemies struck.

The forging manual for the demon spear is the ''[[List of fun-size forge recipe book locations in Dragon Quest XI|The Devil's in the Details]]'' book, which is found on a [[Heliodor]] castle bookshelf.
 
==={{DQH}}===
[[Kiryl]]'s {{Attack}} and {{Defence}} are increased by +70 and +15 respectively when the Demon spear is equipped, and the instant death chance is 2%. This sounds minuscule, but each strike made by the priest has a chance to trigger the effect.
 
==={{DQH2}}===
The spear increases {{Attack}} by +85, no longer has a {{Defence}} bonus, and has a 1% [[Critical Hit]] chance per strike.
