Where to find

• Wilderness: Created by combining:
  •  Shaft of a Broken Spear - carried by  Edowin in the Forest west of the Druid Grove at X: 136 Y: 446
  •  Head of a Broken Spear - carried by the  Owlbear mother in the Owlbear Nest

Notes

• A right click option to 'combine' appears once the head and shaft are collected and in the same player character's inventory.
• Despite being themed around the Absolute, the spear does not seem to have any interactions with the Brand of the Absolute.
• The spear's specialty of dealing additional damage to spiders seems consistent with the positioning of the Absolute as a deific figure in opposition to Lolth, the Drow Queen of Spiders.
• Reforging the spear grants the inspiration ⁠A New Vision to party members with the  Guild Artisan background.

Notes included from Absolute Night:

• As implied in the description of Absolute Night, the passive feature deals extra damage to spiders, spider-like enemies, spectators and other creatures with many eyes. This only works with melee attacks. Thrown weapon hits do not trigger this bonus.
  • Likewise, the ability to blind opponents does not function when a weapon with this passive is thrown.
• Although the combat log shows (if the target succeeds the roll) a breakdown of the roll indicating that Absolute Night uses the Spell DC, the actual DC is fixed at 11.

Bugs

Bugs included from Absolute Night:

• The saving throw against being  Blinded is incorrectly attributed in the combat log against the attacker or the attack which was used, rather than against Absolute Night.
