The purpose of this guide is the share my take on how I defeated the Serious Spearman. It gives some insight on the required stats and some advice on how to approach this though fight.
The Serious Spearman is the toughest fight in the game so far on all levels and requires grinding, planning, grinding and some more grinding.
Although the game tries to push you into a Physical fighting style with the Spearman I choose Magical Attack, since I was most comfortable with the style and have been using it throughout my entire playthrough. If you are using Physical Attack, this guide may still offer some usefull advice but you mean need to find your own alternative for certain details such as skills and equipment selection.

Vereisten
The first requirement to even hope to survive the first fight out of five is to make sure you finished each of the first five endings at least 5 keer, preferably with some Pride challenges on top of them to boost your stats and gain Gluttony Slots.
The second requirement is to have fully leveled up all (relevant) summons (partijleden). This includes the Fire Drake and summons from the Guardians. See also, the party tables below.
The third requirement, and this requires some serieus grinding, is a lot of inspiration to level up your Status Up to at least 1M levels. This Guide describes how to do that, see Stats strategy for more info.
The final requirement to make him show up is to defeat Serious Father before you move on to the next area (Woud). With the previous requirements met, this shouldn’t be an issue.

Stats Strategy
After defeating Spearman 3, it took me two months of grinding Gluttony and inspiration before I could defeat him in the fifth fight. Here is how I did it:
In eerste instantie, finish every Area, except the Demon King! Make sure to max out your Virtue and Malice while at it (use the Titles). For each decision, bijv. ‘Which of these three recipes would you like to learn?’ make sure to pick the one that would boost the Magical Attack (Rice Mushroom :)).
After finishing all the area’s, focus on building two party templates.
- Habit Efficiency/Inspiration run
- Schade (See my stats for this template)
The Habit Efficiency party did all the grinding with a Habit Efficiency of roughly 300M and focused on Inspiration gain, Sacred Ritual and Habit. I made sure to have a quick attack skill (Sharp Spike) for the first party member to blast through the dungeons quickly. Since the queue will directly shift to the next when the previous is done, this should go really fast.
Feest:
The reason for Titan to be in the party is purely because of the Gold Max with Habit as a bonus. This allows for faster Mana Crystal farming.
This party boosts the following which is useful to farm inspiration and level up equipment:
- Habit
- Sacred Ritual
- Donker ritueel
- Will Gain Speed (Also through Butler Spirit)
- Crystal Converter
- Inspiration Gain
Only a few familiars are useful at this point (assuming all summons are fully leveled up). While grinding for inspiration, I got three of them selected permanently and switched to Greater Demon when I wanted to try for the Spearman. The three familiars for the inspiration runs are:
- Summon speed
- Butler Spirit
- Hungry Pig Man
If your party isn’t fully leveled up yet, prioritise that first! Purchase an Auto level up slot if you must and focus your Familiars on the Dryads instead. Potentially adjust your party temporarily to increase seeds drop chance. Dungeons should give you about 10-15k seeds per enemy with the rights party setup. Keep in mind that only the summons for your party need to be fully leveled up.
Will helps to boost Ritual, Habit and stats which you’ll need to defeat the Serious Spearman. I owned Improved Auto Devote, which helps significantly. I invested in the following will traits, although ‘Turn into fortune is optional’:
- Will Cap+
- Will Speed+
- Holy will
- Transform into power
- Turn into fortune (optioneel, but helps slightly for Gluttony)
- Task Efficiency
- Solid summon art
- Transform into evil
I set up my queues to get the right food for Gluttony:
Kerker:
- Lostlorn Forest – Afgrond
- Moon Forest – Afgrond
- Dragon's Nest
- Vast Desert – Oase
- MT. Draak – Crater
Lus:
- Vis vis
- Pick Olives
- Pray (Optioneel, for Experience to boost Sacred Ritual)
Ander:
- Make Rock Grilled Steak
- Make Dried Fruit
- Buy Beef
- Status Up (Optioneel)
- Kill all Destroyer/Hermit/Arbitrator/Creator/Dominator (Optioneel)
If you don’t have enough Queue or Gluttony slots, prioritize on Dried Fruit and Grilled Steak, so skipping Catch Fish, Pick Olives, Dragon’s Nest or Moon Forest- Afgrond, in die volgorde.
Gluttony slots should be placed on (in volgorde!):
- Dried Fruit
- Rock Grilled Steak
- Wijn
- Ei
- Olive
- Vis
OPMERKING: Don’t forget to eat food from quest rewards. Grinding a bit for Slime Jelly from time to time also doesn’t hurt.
The money you earn in all these dungeons is important to spend on the Routines Miracle Stone and Lucky Rabbit’s Foot to boost your Sacred Ritual.
I capped my expenditure at 2500, which was sufficient to hover between Habit 100 en 110 and earn about 150k inspiration per run.
The left over money will be turned into Mana Shards, giving you plenty to convert to Mana Crystals which can be spend on Equipment, unlocking important boosts like Magical Attack, All Stats or Defence.
Check the equipment in the party table in My Stats to see which ones you need to level up.
If you have setup your party you can make inspiration runs that look like this:
- Dark Ritual when Talent is 10Oc or more
- (Automatically via Sloth) spend 1 Habit on:
- Sacred Ritual (4 in totaal)
- Fire Cap Extension in Energy
- Familiar
- Zullen
- Strijder (5 in totaal)
- Tovenaar (5 in totaal)
- Tamer (5 in totaal)
- Envy (21 in totaal, unless all summons are maxed out, then you can skip Research/Seeds Drop).
- Spend the rest of your Habit on Envy to level up Sacred Ritual, Dark ritual and Magical Attack.
- Spend Research at Greed on everything behalve Seed drop, Seed max, Valuable experience, Desire and Child Prodigy untill you reach a Multiplier or about 80M.
- Spend that sweet inspiration on Status Up, and don’t forget the Expand the cap when it get’s too full to prevent overflow on ritual and lose inspiration. (I got 150k capacity).
- Periodically kill the Astral World Guardians but spend some (5-10) Sin of your max before doing so on Inspiration+ at Akashic Records, yielding more inspiration for the next run/Guardian. Make sure to keep your Sin above 30 to get the most out of the Inspiration boost.
- Surplus Sin will be converted to Complaints, which can be spend at Envy to further increase Magical attack, Dark Ritual or Sacred Ritual.
- Keep checking your Quests and keep reaping those rewards and modifiers
- Don’t forget to regulary put your seeds into Blazing Aurs/Evil eye
- Keep grinding that Gluttony until you got enough Talent and don’t forget to clear the Guardians before the Dark ritual.
- Herhalen
OPMERKING: I spend some greed on child prodigy (100) and Valuable Experience (4k) at the beginning of my runs to get the biggest boost. Daarna, it is just a waste.

The Fight
The attack of the Spearman is about 0,1 – 0,2 seconds and he attacks five times in a row with very high damage, about 650Qi and he has about 5Sx HP.
The trick is to attack him before he starts, I used Wind Step since it is slightly faster than his preparation time. You probably won’t be able to kill him in one hit, so make sure one party member survives a hit to finish him off.
His order of attack goes like this:
– Prepare attack (1,7S)
– 5x Stab (0,1-0,2)
– Rest (2,5S)
The overall strategy is to focus on getting a high HP and Def to be able to survive a hit and a high (M)Atk to kill him in two hits.
Before you start the fight make sure Magical Formation is available and activate it when you start attacking. You’ll probably die the first time but that is okay, the formation lasts way longer than the actual fight, so just attack again.
The first hit from you should take about half his health, allowing your last standing party member to deal the final blow during the rest of the Spearman after he decimated your helpless party with his swift attacks.
OPMERKING: The pattern of attack is the same for all fights with the Spearman, he just becomes faster and faster at it and deals more damage.
