Crimson Desert: Spear Challenge Locations & Interactive Tracking Guide

The Sharpened Spear 1 Challenge is unlocked by picking up the Hernand Sealed Abyss Artifact at the crossroads southeast of Calphade Gate.

Challenge Set:

• Goyen’s Advice - Spear

Objective:

• Land 15 counterattacks with a spear within 30 seconds.

Reward:

• Abyss Artifact
• Faded Abyss Artifact

How to Complete:

• When you're wielding a spear, your counterattacks actually double as successful parries.
• Instead of chasing down individual targets, locate a group of lower-level enemies, like a small squad from a camp.
•  If you execute a parry (L1/LB before a hit lands) while standing in close proximity to a crowd, the move will strike every enemy nearby simultaneously.
• So, simply position yourself in the middle of the group and parry their attacks, obviously with a spear.

The Sharpened Spear 3 Challenge is unlocked by picking up the Hernand Sealed Abyss Artifact at the crossroads north of Hook Rapids Hearth.

Challenge Set:

• Goyen’s Advice - Spear

Objective:

• Take down 5 enemies within 15 seconds using the Stab attack.

Reward:

• Abyss Artifact

How to Complete:

• To complete this Challenge, first, you need a Spear such as the one near the Artifact.
• Equip the Spear and find a group of at least 5 enemies. A great location to complete this challenge is across the road, when you work on saving the Woodcutter in Peril.
• When fighting them, use the Stab Attack (R1+Triangle/RB+Y) to defeat 5 in less than 15 seconds.

The Sharpened Spear 5 Challenge is unlocked by picking up the Sealed Abyss Artifact on the altar at the crossroads next to Bradenfern Farm.

Objective:

• Defeat 5 enemies without taking damage from spears while maintaining 100% health.

Reward:

• Abyss Artifact

How to Complete:

• The wording for this challenge is currently incorrect—the actual requirement appears to be defeating 5 enemies in a row with a spear while at full health, regardless of what weapons the enemies are using.
• As with other no-damage challenges, there’s no time limit, so you can circle around groups and take on enemies one at a time.
• It also helps to eliminate any ranged enemies first to avoid taking damage from distance attacks.

The Sharpened Spear 2 Challenge is unlocked by picking up the Hernand Sealed Abyss Artifact in the Nas River Greymane Shrine.

Challenge Set:

• Goyen’s Advice - Spear

Objective:

• Hit enemies 30 times with a spear within 30 seconds.

Reward:

• Abyss Artifact

How to Complete:

• To complete this Challenge quickly, your best bet is crowd management.
• Instead of focusing on a single, high-health knight, look for a cluster of weaker grunts.
• Since the spear has a decent reach and high attack speed, you can catch multiple enemies in the "poke zone" simultaneously.
• A great place to complete this challenge is Springtide Mill while working on liberating the area during the Shadow Cast Over the River Quest.
