Pike is a Weapon in Dark Souls and Dark Souls Remastered.

Long spear with a very long red hilt. Traditionally used by groups of soldiers. Specially designed for distance thrusting. Has the longest range of the non-projectile weapons, but its very length makes it somewhat difficult to handle."

How to Get the Pike/ Where to Find the Pike

Purchased from Andre of Astora (2000 Souls)

Notes:

Give to Frampt to receive 50 souls.
Although the description says that the Pike is the longest non-ranged weapon in the game, this description is misleading. When used normally its reach is only marginally longer than the Great Scythe's 1h light attack.
Used skillfully, one can hide behind a shield and poke enemies to death from well outside their attack range.

  Pike is one of many newbie traps intended for trolling inexperienced players. Yes... Newbie traps are vital part of Dark Souls.
  
  It looks dangerous and from description and requirements you can say it has to be a good weapon right?
  
  Well... No. If you are looking for long range poking weapon Moonlight Butterfly Horn, Demon's Spear or Silver Knight Spear are far more superior and if you just want to use a spear any other spear is better than this.
  
  So what's wrong with Pike? High requirements compared to moderate damage, useless charge attack, heavy weight and large stamina use.
  
  Well of course you can kill any enemy and boss with this. Of course you can make build oriented around maxing it's damage for very high values. Sure it's DS you can do anything you want and use any approach. But all of this doesn't change one fact... You'll do same thing much easier with other weapons.

  The strength requirement is almost as bad as the zwei needing 10 dex

  What's the benefit of this? It's two times heavier than spears with similar damage, and uses almost double the stamina to swing. It's barely any longer, and has almost identical scaling. I just can't seem to justify using it over the partizan or plow

  High str requirement, scales poorly in str. Seems inefficient.

  I'd use this more if the strength requirement wasn't so high :/
