Pikes were an unobtainable weapon seen in Blood Omen: Legacy of Kain and Soul Reaver 2. They were first observed as the weapon of Malek in Blood Omen and reappeared in Soul Reaver 2, where they were among the rarest weapons in the game; found only in the hands of four of the final Sarafancommanders and inaccessible during normal gameplay.
At this stage of the game, Raziel was usually armed with the Reaver blade, which had made him invincible and unable to drop the blade. However, by using the debug menu, it was possible to skip passed the room where Raziel recovered the Reaver and battle the commanders unarmed, allowing Raziel to recover their weapons. In combat, the Pike was a similar weapon to the Trident, sharing many of its moves, but with a noticeably longer blade and range.[Soul Reaver 2]
As well as their mention in guides, the fact that Pike-class weapons can be interacted with (in contrast to the unusable Hand cannons) may suggest that Pikes were originally intended to be standard weapons in Soul Reaver 2. Given their name, it may be possible that the Sarafan Warrior Pikemen (armed with Tridents) and the Vampire Hunter Pikemen (armed with Halberds) were originally intended to use the Pikes as weapons. Despite being comparable however, the Pikes seem to have a greater range, perhaps making them more suitable for the more dangerous boss characters.[Soul Reaver 2]
A similar Pike-style weapon is observed in hands of unidentified Sarafan Warriors (resembling Pikemen or Swordsmen) in the Defiance comic.[Defiance comic]
