The Marika's Hammer is a Hammer in Elden Ring.

When to Use It

Mid game. It is found around Altus Plateau, which opens up past Stormveil Castle, so it arrives once a build has taken shape.

Why Players Pick It

65 holy at +0, the highest holy in the class, with D Faith scaling and the Gold Breaker skill. 247 physical + 159 holy at max standard with B Str / C Fai, 116 Sta. Costs 20 Str / 12 Dex / 19 Fai: the steepest Str requirement in the class, and an Elden Remembrance, which is the last remembrance in the game.

Upgrades

It takes Somber Smithing Stones rather than the common kind, one per level up to +10, and it keeps its own skill for good: no Ash of War will replace it and no affinity will re-cut its scaling.

Skill

Gold Breaker costs 26 FP. Leap up high and, while suspended in midair, imbue the rune shard with light before smashing it down hard onto the ground. The heroic Radagon's signature attack. It belongs to this weapon alone: no Ash of War will move it onto anything else, and nothing will replace it here.

Build

Its scaling runs Str at D, Dex at D and Fai at D, so Str, Dex and Fai are the stats worth levelling, and you need Str 20, Dex 12 and Fai 19 before you can lift it. Because the skill is its own, the build has to come to the weapon rather than the other way round.

Notes

Stone hammer made in the lands of the Numen, outside the Lands Between. The tool with which Queen Marika shattered the Elden Ring and Radagon attempted to repair it. The hammer partially broke upon shattering the Ring, becoming splintered with rune fragments.
