Unlocking the Royal Guard’s Spear in Tears of the Kingdom

The Royal Guard’s Spear is a weapon associated with royalty in Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom. While it boasts impressive attack power, its durability is somewhat compromised due to the materials from which it is crafted.

This spear is wielded by the Royal Knights to defend their fortifications, delivering a base damage of 15 during fights. Its special passive ability, Break Point, allows it to inflict significant damage just before it shatters.

Fortunately, players can discover the Royal Guard’s Spear in various locations, some of which may even contain additional royal items.

Where to Find the Royal Guard’s Spear

The premier location to obtain the Royal Guard’s Spear is Hyrule Castle, known for its rich loot, including powerful royal equipment in Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom.

Let’s explore the options available for acquiring the Royal Guard’s Spear within the game.

Chest in the Akkala Citadel Ruins

To find the Royal Guard’s Spear, head toward the Akkala Citadel Ruins located between Akkala Highlands and Eldin Canyon in Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom.

Access this area by traveling south from Shadow Pass and crossing the Kanalet Ridge. You’ll also discover the Domizuin Shrine to the south of the weapon’s location.

Search for the chest inside the ruins at the coordinates (3312, 1515, 0415) and unlock it to easily acquire the Royal Guard’s Spear.

Inside Hyrule Castle

The top spot to snag the Royal Guard’s Spear is within Hyrule Castle in Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom. This iconic floating castle is hard to miss and becomes accessible after you’ve activated the first Skyview Tower in Lookout Landing.

Simply glide north from the launch pad to reach the castle. If you’re attempting to explore the castle early in your journey, pack some elixirs and food to boost your stamina.

Make your way to the Throne Room and proceed to the central landing area to collect the Royal Guard’s Spear at coordinates (-0260, 1065, 0466). Additionally, you can uncover more royal items by thoroughly exploring the castle.

Stats for the Royal Guard’s Spear

This spear inflicts 15 damage with each attack, and its compendium number is 430 in Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom. The weapon’s passive ability, Breaking Point, significantly boosts damage output when it is close to breaking.

Additionally, there’s a pristine variant of the Royal Guard’s Spear that increases base damage to 24. To obtain this upgrade, you must first use the standard version until it breaks during combat.

• Weapon Type: Spear (two-handed)
• Base Damage: 15/24 (damaged/pristine)
• Passive Ability: Breaking Point (damage escalates when the spear is near destruction)
• Hyrule Compendium Number: 430

In Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom, the pristine variant of the Royal Guard’s Spear enhances your damage to 24, but you’ll need to utilize the standard version and break it during combat to access this upgrade.
