Unleashing the Battle Hammer: A Guide for Elden Ring Players

The Battle Hammer, a formidable weapon wielded by duelists banished from the Colosseum in Elden Ring, is designed particularly for strength-based combat. With only a handful of strikes, this hammer can obliterate armor and the foes who wear it.

In this guide, we’ll walk you through how to farm the Battle Hammer and how to create an impressive strength build centered around it.

Where to Find the Battle Hammer in Elden Ring

You can earn the Battle Hammer in Elden Ring as a rare drop from the Hammer Duelists located in Leyndell, the Royal Capital.

To find these foes, make your way to the area near the Colosseum in Leyndell. Begin your journey at the West Capital Rampart Site of Grace and ascend the towering tree trunk.

When you reach the Colosseum, instead of taking the main path to the left, veer right and climb uphill. A few Hammer Duelists await your arrival on your way to the top.

Bear in mind that the chance of obtaining the Battle Hammer is quite rare, sitting at 4% for every 100 points in your Discovery stat.
