The Brick Hammer is a Great Hammer in Elden Ring. It is an early find in Stormveil Castle.

The Brick Hammer is made from an ordinary stone brick, wielded by a laborer who led a rebellion and later became a champion, and even among bludgeons its size it is especially weighty. It hangs on a corpse in Stormveil Castle, reached by the ladder behind the door opened with the Rusty Key. It swings slowly like other great hammers and deals heavy Strike damage with strong poise damage. Two-handed it needs only 21 Strength, and it reaches S Strength on Heavy, A Dexterity on Keen and A Arcane on Occult. It suits a pure Strength character early on, and adapts to quality or Strength and Arcane builds.

Stats

The Brick Hammer is the stance-breaking ceiling of the class, with B Strength scaling at base, the best among great hammers, and no Dexterity requirement at all. With a Heavy affinity at max upgrade it reaches S Strength and 239 stance damage. The cost is the highest Strength demand in the class, 12.5 weight and a modest 122 base physical.

How to Get Brick Hammer Guide

It is found on a corpse in Stormveil Castle in the area within the wall past the Stormveil Cliffside Site of Grace. It is accessed by climbing the ladder behind the door unlocked by the Rusty Key and turning right to jump across the gap, crossing the beams, and then jumping to another platform leading to an opening in the wall. Follow the path outside and reenter at the round tower. The corpse hangs from a ledge.

Skill

Barbaric Roar costs 16 FP. The wielder lets out a bestial roar that grants a 40 second weapon buff, raising physical attack power. While it lasts, heavy and charged heavy attacks turn into a savage three-hit combo that chains into a further follow-up shaped by the weapon class. The Roar Medallion adds to the damage of these combos, and as a weapon buff it replaces greases and armament-buffing spells rather than stacking with them. It is the weapon's default Ash of War, so another can take its place.

"Let loose a bestial roar to rally the spirit and increase attack power. While active, strong attacks change to savage combo attacks."

Suggested Build

Two-hand it early for heavy, stance-breaking swings, using jump attacks and charged heavy attacks for burst damage.

Stats	Strength 80, Vigor 50, Endurance 40, Mind 10, Dexterity 18 (31 Strength to wield it, 21 two-handed)
Affinity	Heavy for S Strength; Keen for A Dexterity or Occult for A Arcane on other builds.
Ash of War	Cragblade for extra stance damage, or keep Barbaric Roar to buff its heavy attacks.
Talismans	Great-Jar's Arsenal, Claw Talisman, Axe Talisman, Dragoncrest Greatshield Talisman

Notes

"Weapon made from an ordinary stone brick. Wielded by a laborer who lead a rebellion, and later become a champion himself. Even among other bludgeons of its size, this weapon is especially weighty. The strength of a giant is required to wield it."
