The Spiked Club is a Hammer in Elden Ring. It is a mid-game find.

The Spiked Club is a club with beast fangs wrapped around its striking end, a badge of honor given only to the toughest demi-humans. It drops from the large Mighty Demi-Humans that carry it, such as the ones outside Volcano Cave and below the first ledge of Coastal Cave. It keeps the standard hammer moveset of quick strike attacks but has its own heavy attack, two wide swings in a row. Every hit builds blood loss, and its default skill, Barbaric Roar, raises attack power and turns heavy attacks into a savage combo. With a Dexterity requirement of only 7 and a weight of 5, it suits Strength, Strength and Arcane, and pure Arcane characters early in a playthrough.

Skill

Barbaric Roar costs 16 FP. The wielder lets out a bestial roar that grants a 40 second weapon buff, raising physical attack power. While it lasts, heavy and charged heavy attacks turn into a savage three-hit combo that chains into a further follow-up shaped by the weapon class. The Roar Medallion adds to the damage of these combos, and as a weapon buff it replaces greases and armament-buffing spells rather than stacking with them. It is the weapon's default Ash of War, so another can take its place.

"Let loose a bestial roar to rally the spirit and increase attack power. While active, strong attacks change to savage combo attacks."

Suggested Build

Played as an early bleed hammer: Barbaric Roar goes up before a fight, then the empowered heavy combos and quick strikes stack blood loss while breaking guards.

Stats	Strength to 60, then 80, Vigor 50, Endurance 40, Mind 10 for a Heavy version; Strength 54 and Arcane 50 with Vigor 50 and Endurance 34 for an Occult bleed version
Affinity	Heavy for a pure Strength build, where its Strength scaling reaches A, or Occult for a Strength and Arcane or pure Arcane build, where Arcane scaling reaches A and raises blood loss buildup.
Ash of War	Barbaric Roar, its default, or Chilling Mist or Poisonous Mist to add a second ailment on top of its blood loss.
Talismans	Roar Medallion, Axe Talisman, Claw Talisman, Lord of Blood's Exultation
Pairs With	Flame, Grant Me Strength

Notes

"A club with beast fangs wrapped around the striking end. The uneven spread of fangs causes blood loss. Given only to the toughest of demi-humans, this weapon is a badge of honor. Or so the demi-humans believe."
