Anvil Hammer Overview: Stat Requirements, Effects, & Skill

ER-SOTE-Anvil-Hammer-Menu

One of the treasures of the ruined forges. A tremendous hammer that incorporates as its head the red-hot anvil of the forge.

In Elden Ring: Shadow of the Erdtree, the Anvil Hammer is a new weapon of the Colossus weapon type. This incredibly powerful hammer deals a mix of physical and fire damage, which is not only useful in Shadow of the Erdtree, but throughout the base game as well. The Anvil Hammer will benefit players who use a straight Strength build, with that stat having the strongest scaling potential. With a weight of 22, this weapon is not for those players looking to quickly execute their enemies. Shadow of the Erdtree's Anvil Hammer is a weapon of sheer force, breaking through enemies' poise with ease. It can be upgraded to +10 with Somber Smithing Stones, and cannot be enchanted via spells/incantations, or have grease applied.

Where To Find The Anvil Hammer in Elden Ring: Shadow of the Erdtree

ER-SOTE-Ruined-Forge-Map

To get the Anvil Hammer in Shadow of the Erdtree, you must complete the Ruined Forge Lave Intake dungeon. It is located in the eastern section of Gravesite Plain. To reach it, head south from the Castle Front site of grace. You'll pass several enemies fighting each other, you can safely ride straight past them. The entrance is blasted out of a stone wall, just beneath a large stone arch.

The dungeon itself is fairly easy to complete. For the first half, there is a clear path that has no real deviations. Eventually, you'll enter a larger chamber with a drop on the right. You can drop to the stairs below, climb the rubble to the upper ledge, turn right and go down the ladder, then pull the lever that lowers the large lava tube. Climb the lava tube to the very top, then jump off to the right. You'll find a small chamber that contains a forge. Interact with the forge to claim the Anvil Hammer, and an Ancient Dragon Smithing Stone .
