The Heavenquaker Spear is one of the twelve powerful Martial Arts in Where Winds Meet, known for its effective area-of-effect attacks and a charged thrust that grows stronger the longer it’s held. If you want to add this formidable skill to your arsenal, this guide will walk you through the two primary methods to obtain it.
Heavenquaker Spear Overview
This Martial Art specializes in controlling the battlefield. Its key feature is a powerful thrust attack whose damage scales with how long you charge it, making it excellent for dealing with groups of enemies and dealing massive single-target damage.
Method 1: The Skill Theft Route (Primary Method)
This is the most direct way to acquire the Heavenquaker Spear, involving a stealthy infiltration mission.
Step 1: Prerequisites
Before you can attempt the theft, you must have two key things:
Touch of Death Mystic Art: You must possess this specific ability, as it is required to silently eliminate enemies during the infiltration.
One Dragon Key: This consumable item is needed to access the sanctum.
Step 2: Locate and Enter the Heavenquaker Spear Sanctum
The Sanctum is located in the northeastern part of the game map.
Look for the Loong Herm Dragon Pillar.
Interact with the pillar and use your Dragon Key to unlock the path to the Sanctum.
Step 3: Infiltrate the Sanctum and Loot the Chests
Once inside, your goal is to navigate multiple floors while remaining undetected.
Eliminate Guards: Use your Touch of Death ability to quietly take down Militiamen and other guards blocking your path.
Find All Six Chests: You must locate and open six specific chests scattered throughout the Sanctum. Be thorough in your search, checking:
Lower areas
A small room near a cart
Upper pathways
A sealed room that can be opened using a lever
Defeat the Final Guard: After collecting all six chests, a guard will block the path to the final room. Defeat or bypass them to proceed.
Step 4: Perform the Skill Theft
In the upper area of the Sanctum, you will find a blue glowing circle.
Interact with this circle to perform the Skill Theft and finally acquire the Heavenquaker Spear Martial Art.
Method 2: The Raging Tides Sect (Alternative Method)
For players who prefer a different path, joining a sect offers an alternative, though longer, route.
Join the Sect: Find and become a member of the Raging Tides Sect.
Complete Sect Progression: You must progress through the entire storyline or quest chain for the Raging Tides Sect.
Unlock as a Reward: The Heavenquaker Spear will be unlocked as a reward upon reaching a certain point in the sect’s progression, likely near the end.
This method requires a significant time investment, especially for players who have not yet aligned with this sect, but it avoids the stealth and combat challenges of the Skill Theft route.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Q: Which method is faster?
A: The Skill Theft method is generally faster if you already have the required Touch of Death ability and a Dragon Key. The Sect method is a long-term goal tied to faction progression.
Q: What happens if I get caught in the Sanctum?
A: While not explicitly stated, it is safe to assume that being detected will likely trigger an alarm, causing more guards to become hostile and making the infiltration much more difficult.
Q: Can I get the spear without the Touch of Death ability?
A: No. The Touch of Death Mystic Art is a stated prerequisite for the Skill Theft route, as it is essential for the silent eliminations required to navigate the Sanctum.
Q: Where can I find a Dragon Key?
A: Dragon Keys are typically found as loot from powerful enemies, hidden in world chests, or purchased from special merchants. Explore the world thoroughly to find one.
Conclusion
Obtaining the Heavenquaker Spear in Where Winds Meet presents a clear choice. For a direct and immediate approach, gather the Touch of Death and a Dragon Key to undertake the challenging Skill Theft infiltration of the northeastern Sanctum. For a more narrative-driven unlock, commit to the Raging Tides Sect and earn the spear through dedicated progression. The Skill Theft method is recommended for players seeking efficiency, while the sect path integrates the weapon into a broader faction storyline. Choose the path that best fits your playstyle and conquer your enemies with this powerful Martial Art.
