The Anvil Hammer is a Colossal Weapon in Elden Ring. It comes from the Shadow of the Erdtree expansion.

The Anvil Hammer is one of the treasures of the ruined forges, a tremendous hammer whose head is the red-hot anvil of the forge, and the anvil's shape is said to be inspired by an altar, since long ago it was used as one in rite and ritual. It is taken from a furnace at the top of the Ruined Forge Lava Intake, along with an Ancient Dragon Smithing Stone. It deals physical and fire damage, scales with Strength at C and Faith at D, and weighs 22. At full upgrade with 80 Strength and 60 Faith it reaches 1161 attack rating two-handed, among the highest unbuffed attack ratings of any weapon. Its unique skill, Smithing Art Spears, smashes the ground and summons multiple spears from it.

Stats

The Anvil Hammer at +10 with 80 Strength and 60 Faith reaches about 1161 attack rating two-handed, the highest unbuffed figure in the game, splitting damage between 131 physical and 85 fire at base. It upgrades with Somber stones and cannot be infused or buffed, so Strength, Faith and upgrade level are the only levers, and a Strength and Faith build pulls every one of them.
