Monk's Flamemace is a Hammer in Elden Ring. It has the highest physical attack of any hammer in the game. It becomes available in the middle of a run.

The Monk's Flamemace is a battle hammer shaped like flickering flames, the signature weapon of the Fire Monks who hail from the Mountaintops of the Giants. Fire Monks carrying it drop it at a low rate, with farming spots at the Guardians' Garrison, inside the Giant-Conquering Hero's Grave and just east of the Eastern Tableland Site of Grace in Liurnia of the Lakes. It has the highest physical damage of any hammer, scales mainly with Dexterity, and its unique strong attack stomps to rouse fiery combative spirit before swinging down. It comes with Kick and accepts Ashes of War and affinities. It suits a Dexterity character who wants a hard-hitting strike weapon.

Stats

Monk's Flamemace has the highest base physical among hammers at 126, and it leans on Dexterity in a class that otherwise favors Strength, with D Dexterity and E Strength at base. Its requirements are gentle at 6.0 weight, and it comes with Kick, so any Ash of War slots in freely without losing anything worth keeping.

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 Dexterity hammer played around its charged strong attacks and Kick, adding a status through a mist Ash of War.

Stats	Dexterity to 60, then 80, Vigor 50, Endurance about 24, Mind about 20, Strength 13 at its requirement
Affinity	Cold with Chilling Mist for frost or Poison with Poisonous Mist; other affinities from whetblades shift its scaling away from Dexterity.
Ash of War	Kick, its default, to open blocking enemies for criticals; Seppuku, Chilling Mist or Poisonous Mist add a status.
Talismans	Prosthesis-Wearer Heirloom, Axe Talisman, Dagger Talisman

Notes

"Great hammer made to resemble flickering flames. Signature weapon of the Fire Monks, who hail from the Mountaintops of the Giants. The unique strong attack rouses fiery combative spirit."
