Black Matter is a two-handed hammer in Dragon's Dogma 2. This is one of the best two-handed weapons to get early if you are playing as a Warrior or Warfarer Vocation. The weapon is made from refined metal, it's extremely heavy and packs a lot of force.
A hammer of specially refined metal. Weighty in the extreme and with concussive force to match, it is a fine choice for those with muscle to spare.
How to get Black Matter and Map Location
- Can be looted from a chest in Ancient Battleground at the top of the castle, guarded by a Cyclops. You can reach the Ancient Battleground location by taking the road North from the Checkpoint Rest Town, going down into the valley, past the broken bridge and through the woods until you reach the Ancient Battleground. Work your way up the hill and up through the castle until you reach the top. Here you will find a armored cyclops which you can run past to loot the treasure chest for the two handed hammer, Black Matter. Note that if you do defeat the Cyclops you will also obtain the Warriors Meloriean Cycops Veil.

Smithing Upgrade Guide
Every weapon can be enhanced three times at an armoury or smithy, each time for gold and the materials listed below, and a fourth time with Wyrmfire. Any armoury or smithy works on weapons and armour alike. Each smith works in one style, and you can mix styles from one level to the next.
- Vermundian raises every attribute moderately. Armouries and smithies in Vermund offer it, such as Roderick's Smithy and Bjorn's Armory in Vernworth.
- Elven raises Magick and Magick Defense greatly, Strength and Defense only a little. Grisha's Armory in Sacred Arbor offers it.
- Battahli raises Strength and Defense greatly, Magick and Magick Defense only a little. Armouries in Battahl offer it, such as Awaran's Arms and Bodas's Armory in Bakbattahl.
- Dwarven raises Knockdown Power and Knockdown Resistance. Sara at Brokkr's Smithy offers it after Steeled Resolve, Blazing Forge, and Gautstafr after Put a Spring in Thy Step.
- Wyrmfire halves the weight and gives a further boost once the first three enhancements are done. The Dragonforged at Bay Wayside Shrine takes payment in Wyrmslife Crystals instead of gold.
The tables below give the cost, materials and result of every level for each style.
Taking Black Matter to level 3 costs 14,100 G in all, whichever style you choose. Battahli smithing gives it the most Strength at level 3 (330), while Dwarven gives the most Knockdown Power (591). Wyrmfire then costs 15 Wyrmslife Crystals.
