        Best weapon in the game hands down IMO. I think greathammers are the best weapons type and this is the best of those. Highest base damage with another 100 or so holy damage thrown on top, plus a cool, unique guard counter. This, bloody stars and giant crusher are my 3 favorites by far.

            Big fan of Int builds here, on several char till NG+5
            Even forgetting the counter attack skill (pretty useless on a non-Faith buld), a Quality infusion + Scholar Armament makes this beast an absolute monster, outperforming many other top tier Str/Dex/Int weapons.

              Killed the dlc death rite bird with two direct sacred blade hits (including the hammer hitbox) to the head. Utterly devastating to the undead, a true paladins weapon

                  Outdamages all other strength/faith greathammers while also being flexible with it's AoW. Absolute GOAT and one of the best things introduced in the DLC

                  • One of my favorite weapons. Strong, fun, and versatile. Scales great on my quality-faith build and with Ashes of War you can adjust this weapon for nearly any scenario. In my experience you can achieve the highest AR using an affinity that you can weapon buff on. However, for general purposes and not doing a boss-prep type buff rotation every couple minutes, a couple of my favorite combos are Flaming Strike w/Flame Art affinity (can buff the wep via the AoW while on flame art) and Sacred Blade w/Sacred affinity for the same wep buff reasons. Bloodhound's Step is a nice "coverall" ash I'll run that you can just swap to any affinity on as well. Very fun weapon to run around with, highly recommend trying it out and playing around with the ashes on it : )

                      So, every single site claims that flame art has higher AR than sacred infusion for this weapon and yet at 50 strength and 50 faith I notice I do more damage with sacred. E.g. with flame art I do 900 damage to the silver Albanurics at the farming spot and with sacred, I one shot them at 1250 damage. Would someone be kind enough to explain to me how and why it works that way?

                          The guardcounter is basically Radagon's attacks and this goes so hard for that. Thinking on using it with the blacksteel greatshield...would it be good to stop at required strength and just infuse sacred and pump faith? And maybe no greatshield but just the deflect tear?

                            if I put a flame art infusion on, would the holy aftershock of a guard-counter get increased scaling as well or would it only affect the fire damage?

                              I always thought the guard counter wasn’t meant to do a lot of damage on purpose, just like the extra r2 effect on ruins.

                                    I made a build that makes the DLC Easy with this. Icon Shield +10, Sacred Black Steel Greathammer with prayerful strike, blessed dew talisman, dragon crest great shield talisman, ritual sword and shield talisman, 25 strength, 67 faith, and the rest however you want. It pretty much makes you immortal. At scadutree fragment 5 fully buffed I had 80% physical resist, and 70% everything else due to the ritual sword and shield talisman pretty much having 100% up time. The hammer attacks also have 1300 AR 1 handed AR at that level.

                                                Sacred enchantment is amazing on this thing. Sacred blade pairs well acting as a weapon buff further increasing holy damage.

                                                  Synergized incredibly well with Order's Blade. In the dlc (with 80 faith and 54 strength (which is 80 with two handing)), golden vow, and physik, I was able to reach into the 3000s of AR. Combine that with the two handed and jump attack buffing talismans, and you make every boss up until bayle and the final one a cakewalk. Plus, blade of order costs almost no fp and lasts for 90 whole seconds. It's not even inconvenient!

                                                    Golden Land is a BEAST on this thing when sacred. Guard counter, goldenland, followup heavy. Does INSANE damage.

                                                            I don't understand the flavour text of this weapon.. "Blessed with an Erdtree incantation. Further holy imbuement will amplify the effect and greatly increase the armament's power."
                                                            is it alluding to an interaction with infusions from ash of wars which give a temporary holy effect? the wiki says it doesn't, but then why did they bother pointing it out? Im pretty sure every infusible weapon can be infused to make it scale better, what made this so special they had to specify it?

                                                            • Anonymous

                                                              Use this for Heavy infuse for general purpose and Sacred Infuse when you are at very high level. You can Flame infuse this and this seem to get higher AR but you will have to go through 3 defense so in the end it will always deal less damage than Heavy infuse or Sacred Infuse unless you are fighting something extremely weak to fire like Sunflower.
                                                              I recommend using this as Heavy infuse more and kind of ignore the Faith part. You can buff it with Sacred Blade if you like or just Crag Blade.


                                                              The strong point of this is the best guard counter you can have. 2 handed this and guard counter will deal a lot of damage and get a bit more extra damage. So the guard counter on this out damage higher AR weapon and rival the Giant-Crusher (colossal).

                                                              It also has slightly faster recovery and a duke during 2 handed counter so vs some bosses attack like Midra standard 3 hit combo you can guard counter the first hit, automatically avoid 2nd hit and guard counter the 3rd hit which will automatically poise break him. Also vs some of DLC final boss too but you will need 2 guard counter + 1 normal hit for that. You can use a shield on left hand for better damage negation and guard boost but it also weight more. But it is still a good consideration for the guard counter style you want with this weapon.


                                                              It may not be as good as the thrusting shields (those are the strongest weapon right now) but surely look very cool and more satisfying to use.

                                                                Finally got this in my NG+ Run. (Thank you Fromsoftware) This hammer is so much fun! I am currently running it with golden land AoW and it is a beast! Highly recommend this Setup. I know golden land is not the fastest AoW but it has one hitbox on the Startup Hammer, one on the AoE and then there are the several holy darts. This thing hits hard! I'm solely playing PvE so I don't know how good this thing is in PvP but Shard of Alexander and Holy Scorpion Charm really give this thing some big numbers. You can also throw two handed talisman in for even more damage. Be creative!

                                                                  • Anonymous

                                                                    At 80 str and 17 fth, the A scaling on heavy infusion of this weapon outperforms a heavy great mace by about 97 AR while
                                                                    at 80 fth and 19 str (minimum for great mace) and sacred infusion, the lower scaling of this weapon still outperforms great mace by about 70 AR.
                                                                    On paper, Black Steel Greathammer is a direct upgrade to Great Mace in almost every way, though I can't speak for the length.

                                                                    In case you were curious, Great Stars falls very far behind both on heavy, and only slightly behind Great Mace on sacred.

                                                                    • Anonymous

                                                                      • Anonymous

It's literally like a multiton glob of metal on the end of thin rod. Black steel must be some powerful magic because this thing should snap itself in half when held upright.

                                                                        • Anonymous

                                                                          If you go heavy use Crag Blade. If you go Holy use Sacred Blade. If you go Fire, you will get higher AR but your dmg will split up so it is not that good but still ok vs something weak to fire. For simplicity you should go heavy and then wear heavy armor as well. 25 Faith is quite enough for Golden Vow and all of the basic negation spell. The rest of your point put in Endurance or Vitality.
                                                                          To maximize this weapon you may nee to be high lvl quite a bit as the theoretically best is the Sacred but then you won't have enough point for Endurance and Vitality

Putrescent Knight leaves the chat when you show it to him

This prevents critical hits when it happens, which is really unfortunate. Otherwise, pretty cool weapon. I just wished that the special guard counter effect didn't reset their stance.

                                                                              • Anonymous

Like I tried it and it didn't feel like the holy breaker effect added much, and a lot of enemies just moved away from it. Not sure if it's worth using this one specifically over other strong guard counter weapons.

                                                                                        • Anonymous

I understood just near the end that if you play Sacred affinity + Sacred blade Ash of war, is WAAAAAY more powerful than playing it heavy or keen + Order blade enchant with a seal. Like it's around 2 times more powerful
                                                                                                      I do almost 2k dmg per normal hit against the last boss, 4k-5k per sacred blade attack. The Sacred blade ash of war is fast, and give you the enchant that is empowered by the weapon.

                                                                                                      • Anonymous

Fully buffed, 2 lion claws, stunned, riposte with dagger talisman. 2 more lion claws, another riposte. 1 lion claw, boom. Dead. Dude never had a chance.

                                                                                                              Now it’s like the laser minigun Fawkes gets in fallout 3, but also with two melee’s and an extra holy grenade for anyone close

He doesn’t respawn for me so I guess I’m screwed. I really want this thing.

Does it mean that giving this weapon a faith based affinity will have it have better scaling? Or does it mean that things like holy grease are better on it?

Every approximately 2/3 strokes the posture fell in both the first and second phases. I'm just afraid that soon they'll nerf him like the club. meteoritic.

                                                                                                                      P.s. I laughed like an idiot at how quickly he died.

Even with base stats and 2h sacred blade will carry you through these fights.

                                                                                                                          • Anonymous

Using 2h requires an an absurd amount of stamina or a crystal tear and well timed blocks. A fully upgraded greatsheild will result in a much better stamina consumption rate, allowing you to not get guard broken constantly. This also allows you to save your tears for damage reduction and poise damage increase.

                                                                                                                            The guard counter appears to deal significant poise damage on both hits - the actual hit and the delayed holy burst. Just wait for the combo end, fire off the counter and drop your shield for a few seconds. After that, you'll have enough stam to do it all over again, but you're doing so much poise (and regular) damage that you don't need to do more attacks than that.

                                                                                                                            • Anonymous
