Regarding the weapon's special properties while fighting God-Devouring Serpent and Rykard, Lord of Blasphemy:

• The weapon's attacks, and its weapon skill, will generate additional beams of swirling wind that greatly extend its range to allow the player to hit Rykard from outside the lava pool at his feet.
• Axe Talisman and Spiked Cracked Tear, Claw Talisman (and by extension, Raptor's Black Feathers), Twinblade Talisman, Spear Talisman and Curved Sword Talisman do not affect the special damage of the weapon.
• Warrior Jar Shard and Shard of Alexanderdoes boost the damage of the weapon's Skill.
  • Because of the long windup of the skill, people can believe that Godfrey Icon boost its damage, but that is not the case.
• Ritual Sword Talisman, Red-Feathered Branchsword, Kindred of Rot's Exultation and Lord of Blood's Exultation work as normal, and provide a general damage boost. The same applies to the incantation Flame, Grant me Strength.
• Winged Sword Insignia does not trigger while attacking, but does receive the benefit if triggered by another weapon.
• When dual wielding with another Great Spear class weapon, both spears will generate the beams during the powerstance attacks.
