Shadow of the Erdtree is the first and only expansion for Elden Ring. A journey into the world of Shadows awaits you. You will learn about the fate of Mikella the Cloudless, who went in search of Queen Marika. Of course, you will encounter strong mobs and powerful bosses along the way. To fight them you need powerful weapons. For example, the Big Black Steel Hammer. In this guide we will tell you where you can find them.
Who is the Black Steel Great Hammer suitable for?
This weapon is designed for warriors with pumped-up strength and faith parameters. If you have invested experience points in these skills, the hammer in your hands will cause enormous damage. Instead of blocking enemy attacks, you can counterattack. In this case, a small explosion will occur.
The hammer is equipped with a special war shaft called Patience. This allows you to take a defensive stance, reducing enemy damage by 45%. The effect lasts only 3 seconds, but this is enough to prevent death from a powerful attack from the next boss.
Please note that the hammer is extremely heavy. The weight is 12 units. However, at the maximum pump level, this weapon does massive damage. It can be upgraded to +25 with regular blacksmith stones.
What properties are needed to use the Black Steel Great Hammer?
To fight effectively with this hammer, you need to upgrade your hero as follows:
- power — 25 points;
- Agility — 11 points;
- To trust – 17 points.
These are the starting parameters. For maximum weapon effectiveness, strength values ​​should be much higher. It is optimal to pump it up to 55 units. The further increase in damage will be insignificant.
Where can you find the Great Blacksteel Hammer?
You can take it at the very beginning of Shadow of the Erdtree. From the very first place of grace, go southeast until you see the Church of Consolation.
This is where the enemy using these weapons is located.
During the battle he will occasionally hit the ground, dealing area damage. Try to avoid these attacks. Otherwise it won’t cause any problems. After the death of this enemy, search his body and take the hammer.
