You shouldn't listen to the spirit lady

The spear can rip off that shoddy armor the big guy with the bell was wearing, but as you see there's no need. It's pretty much pointless aside from a single moment much later on.

Also I don't necessarily think you should worry about any guides on your first playthrough. There are a few endings, and the one you will get without following a guide is fine enough. You won't miss any gameplay.

edit: actually I take that back, you could potentially miss a cool optional boss

I don't kill... but I don't lose either.
