–Game Description

The Spear of Destiny was a weapon that was acquired by Kratos in God of War II after he killed the Dark Rider, who wielded it, and much later found his dead Griffin, and in it, the spear itself.

The spear was a magical weapon with Purple crystals that were infused in its ends, which could be used to pierce enemies and even created more explosive crystals. It also had the ability to extend and retract itself for greater range attacks.

God of War II

On the way to the Titan, Typhon, and again when Kratos arrived at the Island of Creation, the Dark Rider appeared and attacks him with the Spear of Destiny. Kratos then jumped onto the Dark Griffin after he jumped off Pegasus and counterattacked the Dark Rider. Kratos stabbed him numerous of times and took the Spear of Destiny. From there, Kratos speared the Dark Griffin and chopped its wings off, which sent it crashing to the ground.

When Kratos traveled across the Island of Creation, he came across the body of the dead Griffin in the Lowlands and took the Spear of Destiny as his own. You could then level up that weapon up to increase its power and gain new abilities for it.

Trivia

• The novelization of God of War II grants a more significant role to the Spear of Destiny, with it being the only tool capable of cutting the Threads of Fate aside from Lahkesis's staff.
• A glitch in God of War II allows the player to infinitely jump by using the Spear of Destiny, the Barbarian Hammer, or the Blade of Olympus with a combination of moves.
• In Christian folklore, the Spear of Destiny, also known as the Holy Lance, the Lance of Longinus, and the Holy Spear, was the weapon that pierced the side of Jesus Christ as he was crucified. This is alluded to in the game's official strategy guide, which mentions that the spear contains the power of an unknown god.
• It was never revealed what happened to the spear after Kratos traveled back in time and started the Second Titanomachy, since none of Kratos's acquired magic and weapons from God of War II appear in God of War III.
• If the spear was examined closely, it's possible to see that it constantly and slowly extended and retracted itself while Kratos held it, even when he did not use it in combat.
• The Spear of Destiny was available as an item in PlayStation All-Stars Battle Royale. Any of the characters could use it as a weapon.
• The spear was accessible in God of War: Ascension Multiplayer.
