In Expeditions Rome, one of the unique weapons that you can encounter is the Lance of Olyndicus. Get to know how to get this weapon, materials that you need for crafting, stats, and more with this guide!
The Silver Spear Shaft can be found in a derelict cart just beside the Sacred Grove. Sacred Grove is an optional place unless you chose the Toutatis path in End of the Aedui Quest. You can find the corpse just at the left side of the entrance of this location.
After getting the Silver Spear Shaft, talk to Sextus in your camp. He will then redirect you to look for a Gallic smith that is more familiar with the material. Thankfully, that smith can be found in Lugdunensis. He can be “convinced” for free if you have the “Ethos” rhetoric style or you can pay him 1,000 denarii for the crafting recipe for the Lance of Olyndicus. After talking to the smith, open your inventory and learn the crafting recipe.
Lugdunesis is a location unlocked by doing the story mission, In This Mess.
Once you have the recipe, head towards your legion camp and use your Forge to craft the Lance of Olyndicus. Note that you have to have the fully upgraded Forge to craft it as it is a level 3 item.
As a lance, the Lance of Olyndicus can hit enemies 1-2 hexes away. With its unique ability, downing an enemy to less than 20% health performs a lethal takedown. If your target is 2 hexes away, your character automatically transfers to the downed enemy’s hex to perform a takedown. Take note of this as you can find yourself accidentally behind enemy lines if you are not careful. Also consider that Attacks of Opportunity can also trigger this.
