The Rotten Battle Hammer is a Great Hammer in Elden Ring.

When to Use It

---

Late game. It is found around Consecrated Snowfield, far enough in that it is an end-of-run weapon rather than something to build towards.

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 and Dex at E, so Str is the stat worth levelling, and you need Str 26 and Dex 8 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. It also causes scarlet rot buildup (65) on its own, with no infusion needed.

Notes

---

Large iron warhammer designed for gladiatorial combat, now festering with scarlet rot. Weighty enough to crush armor and its wearer alike.
