{{for|the weapon in Hack'EM|atgeir (Hack'EM)}}
An '''atgeir''' is a type of [[weapon]] that appears in [[dNetHack]], [[notdNetHack]] and [[notnotdNetHack]]. It is a [[Item size (dNetHack)|large]] melee weapon, making it [[two-handed]] for a [[Physical size|medium-sized]] wielder, and uses the [[spear]] [[skill]]. It has a [[Object materials (dNetHack)|base material]] of [[iron]], and appears as a '''bladed spear''' when [[Identification|unidentified]].

The atgeir is the [[base item]] for the [[artifact weapon]] [[dNetHack artifacts#Gungnir|Gungnir]].

==Generation==
Atgeirs make up {{frac|200}} (0.5%) of all weapons that are randomly generated on the ground, in general [[shop]]s or as [[death drop]]s. Used armor dealerships and antique weapon outlets can also stock atgeirs.

An atgeir is generated on each of the four [[bedroll]]s within the [[Norn]]'s chamber on the [[Valkyrie quest/dNetHack|Valkyrie quest]] home level during level creation.

[[Warrior]]s have a {{frac|9|10}} chance of [[generating with]] an atgeir, while [[awakened valkyrie]]s and [[transcendent valkyrie]]s have a {{frac|2}} chance of generating with an atgeir.

==Description==
An atgeir inflicts slashing and piercing damage, dealing 2d4 damage against small monsters and 1d12 against large monsters. An atgeir can be [[Poisoned weapon#dNetHack|poisoned]] by [[dipping]] it in an appropriate [[potion]]. A hero that [[wield]]s an atgeir while they are at Skilled or better in spears gains the "hew", "graze", "stop thrust", and "focus fire" [[expert trait]]s.
