Longinus, also known as Ronginus's Spear, is a spear in the Castlevania series. It is a spear of divinity.
Origins[]
According to legend, the Holy Lance (also known as the Spear of Destiny, Holy Spear, Lance of Longinus, Spear of Longinus or Spear of Christ) is the lance that pierced Jesus while he was on the cross. The Biblical account itself does not give a name to the spear, nor does it otherwise support the legends surrounding this artifact. The spear is only mentioned in the Gospel of John, where it tells how the Roman soldier, Longinus, pierced Jesus's side while he was on the cross.
Game specific information[]
Castlevania: Aria of Sorrow[]
Called Ronginus's Spear in Aria of Sorrow (mistranslated from Longinus). Ronginus is one of the most powerful weapons in the game, the most powerful spear, and the most powerful Holy weapon other than the Claimh Solais. The spear, although slow moving, has good attack power and can be found when the player has obtained the Giant Bat soul or the Hippogryph soul (the Hippogryph soul can actually be found a few rooms below Ronginus). Erinyes also drop this spear, although very rarely.
