The '''Demon Spear''' is a recurring weapon in the {{DQSeries}}. The weapon is notable for having a chance to instantly slay any non-boss target upon contact. Despite its name, it is not a cursed item.

==={{DQ4}} remake===

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}} and the {{Psaro 9}}.

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]] coins.

*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.

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]] coin or 21,562 [[gold]] coin after it's been upgraded. [[Amos]], [[Carver]], [[Nevan]], [[Ashlynn]] and [[Terry]] can equip it.  

The Demon spear can be sold for 12,500 [[gold]] coins, but not bought. It has an {{Attack}} bonus of + 99, a {{Style}} boost of +19, and a 1/6th penetration percent. {{Maribel}}, [[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.

The Demon spear has an {{Attack}} bonus of +86 and returns to the original 1/8th rate. The {{Hero 8}} can equip it. It can be sold for 12,500 [[gold]] coin, but not bought. Its [[alchemy]] recipe is [[Battle fork]] + [[Poison needle]] + [[Devil's tail]].

A little known, considerably cruel combo can be pulled off by using the Hero's Clean Sweep skill, as the instant death effect is checked for all enemies struck.

|notes=

[[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.
