The '''bamboo lance''' is a recurring spear in the {{DQSeries}}. It is very cheap, but not very powerful and only meant to get players by at the very start of an adventure.

This spear is a primitive weapon made from a length of bamboo sharpened to a point at the end. In some of the games, the spear or pole has some cloth wrapped around it as a rudimentary grip for ease of use. Typically it is one of the weakest, if not the weakest, weapon that appears in the game. Eventually, this position would be taken by the [[Cypress stick]] in later games.

 

In the Japanese versions of the games, the bamboo pole from the original {{Dragon Quest}}, the bamboo spear from {{V}} to {{VII}}, and the bamboo lance that appeared in {{IX}} and {{X}} are considered three different weapons, but for the sake of simplicity, all three weapons have been combined for this article.
