Gungnir

The Gungnir is the fourth strongest spear in the PC version of the game, only beaten by the Mushroom Spear, North Pole, and the Chlorophyte Partisan, and is only rivaled by the Tonbogiri in the console version, being a crafting ingredient of it. It has an unusually large size for a melee weapon and can hit enemies from distances comparable to that of a Wooden Boomerang. The Gungnir is also unusually valuable; compared to the Excalibur, it can be sold for over six and a half times the money. It can deliver 3 to 4 hits per use if aimed well enough. Like all Hallowed Melee weapons, attacking with it emits a good deal of light and a sparkle effect.

Like all Spears, the Gungnir's best possible Modifier is Godly. It cannot obtain the Legendary Modifier.

Console version:

Tips

 * It's a fairly effective weapon against The Destroyer, but in the console version, it requires beating Skeletron Prime to be crafted (Soul of Fright).
 * The Gungnir is incredibly useful for finding endgame ores like Chlorophyte Ore, as its light can allow you to see into the walls. Thus, the spear retains its usefulness long after one has acquired a better Spear.
 * Selling it is a good way to make money, it's equivalent with the Light Disc in use of hallowed bars/coins, being an advantage for using nothing more than hallowed bars. This is a better way to make money using hallowed bars.

Trivia

 * In Norse mythology, Gungnir is the spear of the god Odin.
