Vision of the Absolute

Vision of the Absolute is an uncommon special variant of the Spears family of weapons. It is a simple melee weapon that can be wielded in one hand, or with both hands for extra damage. Its design lends itself well to be thrown at enemies as a projectile. Its design doesn't lend itself to be dual-wielded, even by those with special training in dual-wielding.

The tip of this spear strikes unerringly toward its target's eyes.

Where to find

• * Repaired by finding and combining the Shaft of a Broken Spear and the Head of a Broken Spear (by right-clicking on one of the items in your inventory and pressing 'combine', then dragging the other item into the open slot.)
• Shaft of a Broken Spear: Found on the body of Edowin in the Forest west of the Druid Grove X: 136 Y: 446.
• Head of a Broken Spear: Looted from the Owlbear in the Owlbear Nest.

Notes

• As implied in the description of Absolute Night, this Spear deals extra damage to spiders, spider-like enemies, spectators and other creatures with many eyes. This only functions on melee attacks - Thrown weapon hits will not trigger this bonus.
  • Some tests indicate that this weapon does not do extra damage to spiders.^{[Needs Verification]}

Spoiler warning! This section reveals details about the story of Baldur's Gate 3.

• Despite being themed around the Absolute, the spear doesn't seem to have any interactions with the Brand of the Absolute.
• The spear's specialty of dealing additional damage to spiders seems consistent with the positioning of the Absolute as a deific figure in opposition to Lolth, the Drow Queen of Spiders.
