Elden Ring offers some of the best. starting weapons in the game that can help all players get through the starting areas of the game. However, as the game progresses, a player might want to change their playstyle to make the remainder of the playthrough as exciting. Because of the hundreds of weapons scattered throughout the Lands Between, each and every player can choose a weapon of their liking.
The Rotten Battle Hammer is a hard-hitting weapon with fast-timed attacks that can also inflict multiple statuses. Talismans such as Kindred of Rot's Exultation and Roar Medallion are extremely useful as they not only benefit from the status buildup but also affect the effects of Roars, which is a skill this weapon has.
Why Elden Ring: Shadow of the Erdtree's Messmer Wielding Fire is a Big Deal
Shadow of the Erdtree's trailer revealed a new boss whose abilities may have wider implications across the most mysterious sides of Elden Ring lore.
Where To Find Rotten Battle Hammer
To acquire this weapon, the first thing you need to do is to make your way to the Consecrated Snowfield. Consecrated Snowfield is connected to Mountaintops of the Giants, but reaching the area is not that simple. To do this, you will need to acquire the Haligtree Medallion. The right half is received by talking to Albus in the Village of the Albinaurics. The left part of the medallion is located at the top of Castle Sol after the fight with Commander Niall.
From the Consecrated Snowfield Site of Grace, head West into the snowstorm. You can use a torch to light up the path if you are having difficulty seeing anything. Soon, you will come upon a coffin graveyard, which has multiple items that you can collect. Here, you will find a Grave Duelist roaming around with a relatively high health pool. Keep in mind that this enemy has attacks that cause Scarlet Rot to surround him, which will cause it to build up on your character. Pillaging the corpse will get you the Rotten Battle Hammer, and he will also drop his helm.

What Does The Rotten Battle Hammer Do?
- The weapon requires 26 Strength and eight Dexterity to use.
It has an active skill, Braggart's Roar, which not only increases defense and attack power but also increases the speed at which you recover stamina. Its passive allows the player to build up Scarlet Rot onto the enemy. The weapon itself is quite a fast weapon when looking at the fact that it can cause multiple statuses and can stagger enemies.
The weapon requires Smithing Stones to upgrade, and at max level, it has a B scaling with Strength and E scaling with Dexterity. As Strength has a high scaling, it is a must for the player to at least reach the soft cap of Strength when leveling up the stats.
