Marika's Hammer is a Hammer in Elden Ring. It is a mid-game find.

Marika's Hammer is a stone hammer made in the lands of the Numen, outside the Lands Between, the tool with which Queen Marika shattered the Elden Ring and with which Radagon tried to repair it, and it partly broke in the shattering, leaving it splintered with rune fragments. It is obtained by trading the Elden Remembrance, won from the Elden Beast, with Finger Reader Enia at the Roundtable Hold. It deals physical and holy damage and scales with Strength, Dexterity and Faith. Its unique skill, Gold Breaker, is the heroic Radagon's signature attack: the user leaps high, imbues the rune shard with light in midair, and smashes it down onto the ground. It suits a Strength and Faith character, usually in a new playthrough.

Stats


Marika's Hammer carries 65 holy damage at base, the highest holy figure among hammers, on top of 101 physical with D scaling in Strength, Dexterity and Faith. Gold Breaker costs 26 FP. It asks for the most Strength of any hammer and arrives only after the final boss, so it suits a New Game Plus Faith build.

Skill


Gold Breaker costs 26 FP. The wielder leaps high, hangs in the air while the rune shard in the hammer fills with golden light, then lunges forward and smashes the ground. The impact scatters splinters of light across a large area, dealing holy and physical damage. Hyper armor while airborne keeps the attack from being interrupted, and the wide blast helps against groups. No other weapon carries this skill, and it cannot be replaced.

"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."
