Larian Studios Forums Baldur's Gate III Baldur's Gate III - Story & Character Discussion What is that thing on the Head of a Broken Spear?

For the longest time I thought they had the head of a spear and the shaft/handle icons reversed, and this was the handle. On closer inspection, it's a proper spear with...an eyeball impaled on it?





Where did that eyeball come from? Not the momma. It came out of her body, though, so an embryo that hadn't been encapsulated in an egg, yet? Or was the momma actually the daddy, and it's, ummm...


Now I'm wondering. I never really went down the animal handling/medical analysis, I assume you may pull the thorn from the lion's paw somehow.

I'd hazard a guess that it's a manifestation of the magic in the spear rather than an actual organ of something.

Given that when you complete the spear the eyeball disappears and its description becomes "The tip of this spear, covered with horrifying barbs, strikes unerringly towards its target's eyes." which goes together with its innate magical effect of being able to proc blindness and deal extra damage to "Certain creatures that sport multiple sets of eyes".

Meaning that its magic is very much about stabbins the eyeballs. So when broken, it manifests this power instead into conjuring up an eyeball to stab.

I had this too, but can't remember where I picked it up. Was it in the Goblin Camp?

It's from the Owlbear and the dead dwarf (The one that's on the path between the Grove and the Owlbear Cave).

Owlbear mom has the spear head and the dead dwarf has the shaft.

Highlighting that the dwarf was using the spear and it broke during an encounter with the Owlbear.

Yep as Taril said. It's Edowin's spear with one of the Owlbear Mother's eyes. I gave feedback to Larian about this long before, saying that the Owlbear Mother's missing eye isn't shown in the cutscene... But they didn't change it.
