The Great Mace is a Great Hammer in Elden Ring.

When to Use It

Mid game. It is found around Liurnia of the Lakes, which opens up past Stormveil Castle, so it arrives once a build has taken shape.

Why Players Pick It

28 Str and zero Dex requirement, reaching S Strength on 's max heavy table with 220 Sta. 134 base physical, 46 guard boost. The cleanest pure-Strength weapon in the class for a build that has put nothing into Dex. Found in a chest by the trebuchets before the Grand Lift of Dectus.

Upgrades

Ordinary Smithing Stones carry it all the way to +25, and because it is not a Somber weapon it will also hold a grease or a weapon buff, which is a damage source the unique blades simply do not have.

Build

Its scaling runs Str at C, so Str is the stat worth levelling, and you need Str 28 before you can lift it. Any Ash of War and any affinity will sit on it, so its scaling can be re-cut towards whichever stat you are already levelling.

Notes

Huge bludgeon with sharp protrusions. An enlarged version of its smaller cousin. Maintains all the advantages of smaller bludgeons, boasting few deficiencies while being very capable at breaking enemy guards and stances. A shrewd choice for simple slugging matches.
