The Hammer is a Hammer in Elden Ring. It is a late-game find in Leyndell, Royal Capital.

The Hammer is a large stone fixed to a metal handle, originally a blacksmith's tool, and the art of smithing is said to have begun among the giants, so its strikes carry ample weight. It lies on the upper floor of the Fortified Manor in Leyndell, Royal Capital, beside the Sanctified Whetblade, in the spot where the smith Hewg would stand in the Roundtable Hold. Among infusible hammers it has favorable damage, scaling and reach, with the second highest physical damage of all hammers. Its default skill, Kick, breaks an enemy's guard and poise and reliably opens a blocking enemy for a critical hit. It suits a Strength character who wants a customizable strike weapon.

Stats

The Hammer is the all-rounder of its class, with 124 physical, D Strength and D Dexterity, low requirements and 6.5 weight, plus a guard boost of 36 that ties for best among hammers. It ships with Kick, so nothing is lost when it takes an Ash of War or a new affinity.

How to Get Hammer Guide

Skill

Kick costs 0 FP. The wielder plants a high front kick that pushes the enemy back and deals enormous stamina damage to anyone guarding, breaking the guard of nearly any shield. The kick itself deals little damage and costs no FP. The Divine Bird Warrior Greaves boost it. It is the weapon's default Ash of War, so another can take its place.

"Push an enemy back with a high kick. Effective against enemies who are guarding, and can break a foe's stance. Sometimes a simple tool is the most effective."

Suggested Build

A Strength strike weapon that breaks guards with Kick, punishes with critical hits and uses charged heavy attacks for poise damage.

Stats	Strength to 60, then 80, Vigor 50 to 60, Endurance about 30 to 40, Mind about 10, Dexterity 7 at its requirement
Affinity	Heavy, which improves its Strength scaling.
Ash of War	Kick, its default, to open blocking enemies for criticals; Seppuku, Chilling Mist or Poisonous Mist add a status.
Talismans	Axe Talisman, Dagger Talisman, Starscourge Heirloom

Notes

"Hammer comprised of a large stone affixed to a metal handle. Originally a blacksmith's tool. The art of smithing is said to have originated among the giants. This weapon's striking attacks boast ample weight behind them."
