How to find the Spear of Achilles

After conquering Lesbos you will land in Asia Minor proper.

If you head northeast you will find a fishing village called Troas (this is also where you're heading for the main quest while trying to find a traitor).





In the opposite side of the village from where you entered there is a Greek villa with a garden next to it. Inside a tree in the garden you will find your first clue (unless you have ALT toggled to see the outlines of items, this is probably the hardest part of this whole endeavour).
Once you have picked up the item, mouse over it in your inventory (also do this for the two other clue items in the following steps).




With the item in question in your hand, head out of the village and to the small peninsula to the east.




Your next destination is back on Lesbos, on the beach on the southern part of the island.




Your final destination is to the north on the westernmost tip of another peninsula. Go inside to collect your reward.

Spear quest can get bugged - won't be able to find tomb

Thank you. In most of my play-through, I either choose the assassin or the destroyer. In the first case the spear comes in handy.

favorite class is the veles and having the stats from the 2h mace that you get from act two when fighting the africans into one dagger and the other that gives lifesteal after a kill. I would kill people in droves and since this was my main character, I often used her to take dmg first then just whipe the floor with 3 seperate units in one turn lol back to full health :) also I gave diedara cant remember her name, Mithridates's helm along with the Egyptian heavy armor, with a high dmg shield and she would 2 shot enemies with her shield bash lol! she also had like 80% resistance 91 being her best but cant remember if it was for slashing or piercing. Took forever to kill her unless she took fire dmg.

@BAGHolder haha, omg - you weren't kidding. I cleared a whole pacification mission in one turn using just one archer.

For some reason I assumed you had to use the spear for the status to apply, but you just needed to have it equipped at the start of combat.

This is in fact the most OP weapon in game. Damage is mediocre, but the turn-1 reaper status sync with the barrage skill of archer. By act 2, a single barrage archer can clean most enemies in turn 1.

@MJY

when you get it (especially if you do this late in Act 1) it is a bit underwhelming. But if you reforge it to tier 3 early in act 2, by rushing to build a foundry, it is quite decent.

is the spear that good, doesn`t seem to be just at looking at stats?
