Hammers
Hammers concentrate on Strike damage and specialize in staggering heavily armored opponents, as their blunt force penetrates defenses more effectively than many other weapons. Though their initial swing is slow and can leave the player open if it misses, a successful hit greatly reduces recovery time and allows quick follow-up strikes—often enabling stun-lock combos. Hammers excel in breaking opponents’ guards and punishing defensive play, making them strong choices against turtle-like foes or enemies vulnerable to blunt attacks.

Blacksmith Giant Hammer
Wooden hammer of the giant blacksmith in Anor Londo who handles lightning weapons.
The giant blacksmith forges with this wooden hammer, as it would be hazardous to handle lightning weapons with metals.
Availability
Giant Blacksmith drop in Anor Londo
General Information
Like all Hammers, if an attack doesn't connect with an enemy, the user will stumble and seem to not be able to handle the weight. If the hit connects, the stumble animation does not come into play and the user moves as normal.

Certain enemies are weak or strong against different types of damage types. |

| Weight: | The weight of the weapon. Note that carrying over 50% of a character's Equip Burden will reduce the speed of their rolls, while going over 100% will reduce their regular speed to walking and attempts to roll or backstep will leave them momentarily stunned. |
| Stats Needed: |
The Stats Needed determines how high various Stats must be in order to wield the weapon effectively. The Requirement stats for a weapon are W / X / Y / Z:
Wielding a weapon without the required Strength and/or Dexterity will incur a penalty to the Physical damage of the weapon, while lower-than-required Magic and/or Faith will reduce the Magic damage of the weapon. Also keep in mind that a character gains a 50% bonus to Strength by wielding a weapon with both hands, thus reducing the actual Strength required. |

Blacksmith Hammer
Metal hammer of Andre of Astora,
blacksmith at the Old Church.
Can be used as a strike weapon, but better left in the hands of its talented owner.
Availability
Andre of Astora drop in the Undead Parish
General Information
Like all Hammers, if an attack doesn't connect with an enemy, the user will stumble and seem to not be able to handle the weight. If the hit connects, the stumble animation does not come into play and the user moves as normal.
Typically, the Mace is simply better in most situations. It has greater scaling, base damage and doesn't require as much strength to wield. In addition, killing Andre is typically a bad idea in most situations.

Morning Star
Hammer with a sharp spike on its pommel.
One of the more barbaric cleric weapons.
Uniquely, this hammer inflicts thrust damage,
and causes bleeding.
Availability
Firelink Shrine treasure, in the small area in front of the elevators
General Information
Bleed build-up is 33 per strike.
Like all Hammers, if an attack doesn't connect with an enemy, the user will stumble and seem to not be able to handle the weight. If the hit connects, the stumble animation does not come into play and the user moves as normal.
The basic upgrade path of this weapon incorrectly states it deals Thrust damage in its Attack type and description.
Upon ascending the weapon along any other path, its description changes to "The effect of these spikes makes this strike-based weapon also cause bleeding."

Pickaxe

Higher strength scaling, no dexterity scaling but slightly shorter range than the Warpick.
Like all Hammers, if an attack doesn't connect with an enemy, the user will stumble and seem to not be able to handle the weight. If the hit connects, the stumble animation does not come into play and the user moves as normal.

Key
| Damage: |
The Damage stat dictates how much damage the weapon does. The Damage stats for a weapon are W / X / Y / Z:
Each weapon has one or more physical damage types:
Certain enemies are weak or strong against different types of damage types. |
| Critical: | One of the multipliers (in percent) for the bonus damage on criticals, such as backstabs and ripostes. |
| Durability: | The health of the weapon. The effectiveness of the weapon will severely deteriorate when the durability falls below 30%. |
| Weight: | The weight of the weapon. Note that carrying over 50% of a character's Equip Burden will reduce the speed of their rolls, while going over 100% will reduce their regular speed to walking and attempts to roll or backstep will leave them momentarily stunned. |
| Stats Needed: |
The Stats Needed determines how high various Stats must be in order to wield the weapon effectively. The Requirement stats for a weapon are W / X / Y / Z:
Wielding a weapon without the required Strength and/or Dexterity will incur a penalty to the Physical damage of the weapon, while lower-than-required Magic and/or Faith will reduce the Magic damage of the weapon. Also keep in mind that a character gains a 50% bonus to Strength by wielding a weapon with both hands, thus reducing the actual Strength required. |
| Damage Reduction %: |
The Damage Reduction stat dictates the percentage of damage reduced while blocking. The Damage Reduction stats for a weapon are W / X / Y / Z:
|
| Stability: | The stability of the weapon. The higher this value, the less stamina is consumed when blocking attacks. |
| Frampt Souls: | This is the amount of souls players will receive if they feed the item to Kingseeker Frampt. |
Footnotes
- When two-handing this weapon, only 10 Strength is required.
Reinforced Club
A club with leather nailed to the pommel.
The burg Undead merchant proudly peddles this club, but its reinforcement is shoddy.
Indeed, its attack is stronger, but the club is no longer dependably sturdy.
Availability
Sold by Undead Merchant (Male) in the Undead Burg for 350 Souls
General Information
Bleed build-up is 30 per strike.
Like all Hammers, if an attack doesn't connect with an enemy, the user will stumble and seem to not be able to handle the weight. If the hit connects, the stumble animation does not come into play and the user moves as normal.
Very useful for low-level builds. Strong leaping attack is effective in many situations. Does a lot of damage when upgraded with Lightning or Fire (which doesn't depend of stat scaling).

General Information
This weapon, and the Pickaxe, deal reduced poise damage equal to straight swords and halberds.
Lower strength scaling, but slightly longer range than the Pickaxe, also dexterity scaling not present with the Pickaxe.
Like all Hammers, if an attack doesn't connect with an enemy, the user will stumble and seem to not be able to handle the weight. If the hit connects, the stumble animation does not come into play and the user moves as normal.
