Spiderman you're correct about whisker not being the ultimate spear
But it's the best spear you can get through most of the game, before you reach Nelveska Temple.

Although I tend to use the Holy Lance on the Lucavi demons, since it has holy property, as well as randomely casting "holy"

The dragon whisker is better in most situations than the holy lance.


I was thinking it might have something to do with Zodiac signs, and the month you are in. This could make the "resetting" method useless.
