Phoenix Lance is a Spear in NieR: Automata. Phoenix Lance is a good all around spear. This spear also increases your attack speed, and with the Phoenix Flash, it gives you a chance to restore your health whenever you land your attacks on an enemy. Spears are Weapons with long reach with a unique moveset. They perform powerful attacks, though they are relatively slower than Small Swords, their sweeping attacks do provide excellent maneuverability of crowds, although their attack patterns are usually catered for fighting a single enemy rather than facing a crowd.
A spear made from the plume of a phoenix.
Monks carried this decorative spear, said to be made from phoenix feathers, on pilgrimages.

Phoenix Lance Notes and Tips
- Other Notes, Tips, and Trivia for Phoenix Lance in NieR: Automata goes here.
AnonymousI feel like this story is about hate and vengeance -- despite years of trying to kill himself, the man's hatred for the bird who granted him immortality proved more powerful than his wish to be freed of his painful existence -- thus he chose to kill the bird as an act of revenge rather than to accept its salvation.

I feel like the last story there implies that the bird switched bodies with the man: giving him the fragile bird one that would let him die.

The text description is ambiguous as hell.
There's no compass and apparently going "east" means keeping the sun to your left.
Here's a much better way to find it:
Open the map and focus on the open desert area, where the Desert: Center access point is located.
You can see in a darker shade the remains of a pipeline that starts from the opening leading to the desert camp, goes towards the center access point and then snakes around back towards the apartment complex.
Go to the third length of pipe visible on the map, starting from the opening leading to the desert camp.
You'll find an elevated section of pipe. There's a place where a segment of the pipe doesn't connect properly. From that spot, head straight towards the sun. You'll find the spear after about 7 seconds of holding forward and using the scanner.
Alternatively, start from the opening leading to the oil field, head towards the sun and hold forward for about 40-50 seconds until you find the spear with the scanner. You should cross the section of elevated pipe I mentioned earlier on your way.
