Elden Ring Black Steel Greathammer Notes & Tips

Weapon Skill: Endure
This weapon can be infused and buffed
Black Steel Greathammer can be upgraded by using Smithing Stones
As the description suggests, guard-countering with this weapon also releases a gold breaker explosion which also deals holy damage. A second after the initial hit, the gold erupts dealing additional holy damage.
Despite adding a third damage type, the Flame Art infusion will result in higher damage compared to the Sacred infusion (tested with 50 str , 50 faith against SotE Black Knights who also have an higher fire defense).

Black Steel Greathammer Poison Upgrades

Elden Ring display values for poison and blood include buildup added by scaling via the Arcane Stat. The values on this table reflect the default values only. Your own Arcane Scaling will alter the number while inside the game. If you don't meet the arcane requirements for an arcane-scaling passive then buildup will show as 60% of the base values.

This upgrade cannot be enchanted with Magic or boosted with Consumables.

  This weapon is surprisingly versatile and powerfull, on different builds it works very well, let me developp :
  
  Its standard enchant is nothing to brag about, but when added with a holy enchantment, the base holy damage is much higher than using any other enchantment, including on other weapons of the same caliber. For full faith builds, this thing hurts. Brilliant with shields and counters.
  
  But it doesnt stop there. The AoW Golden land seems to do a bit more damage on it that most weapons, maybe due to higher scaling. With the full combo, i am dealing around 9k damage. With the orbs alone, 2.5k
  
  Another amazing thing about this weapon, it ALSO works with flame art infusion (given the holy is low, it may not go through resistances). Flame strike peaks the AR even higher, going over 2300 with scadu +15 and flame scorpion.
  
  It EVEN works on a cold infused AOW strength/int build, you still get holy counters.
  
  Another amazing thing with this hammer, minimum requirements str and dex, and a split 80 fai/int version can be made. With a magic infusion on any AoW allowed, you still hit 2000 AR with a small amount of backup holy, and the usual holy counter.
  
  Since the base weapon stats are so juicy, any build except arcane can work wonders with this hammer, no dual wield or 2 handing necessary.
  
  An absolute powerhouse in my books. The only downside would be the lack of magic based AOW in itd category, only some cold AOW are available to it.
  
  Currently using it with Golden Land and Finger shield, turning me into a hard hitting tank with very dangerous close range damage and an amazing ranged option, and even when a boss is holy resistant, I hop straight over to fire with the same build.

  From my testing Flame Art outclasses Sacred and Heavy. I tried Sacred Blade and Prayerful Strike (on heavy and sacred) but end up using flaming strike with it. Regular Lion Claw also works. Was having trouble with Dancing Lion but this weapons did it for me. Very solid choice.

  I went off this thing during my playthrough due to the weird swing and lack of reach but putting savage claw and flame art infusion on this thing absolutely carried me to a solo victory on the endboss. Savage claw hits on this thing were putting out like 3k+ damage a hit while incantation buffs were still active.

  The best way to go about the Black Steel Great Hammer is to run it on a Str/Fth build. I have 70str/70fth and when I buff it with Orders Blade it gives me an AR of 2068 in the DLC ( I have 15 scadutree Blessings so far for reference ). Every Black Steel weapon has been great so far. I am also running the Black Steel Twin blade on this build

  The bit about flame infusion being stronger than sacred despite triple split damage is interesting. I guess Greathammer having very high AR makes flat resistances less relevant in the damage calculations

  Use this with the deflecting hardtear+ curved sword talisman. The guard counter does insane damage, and you stagger pretty much anything by doing it twice.

  "Further holy imbuement will amplify the effect and greatly increase the armament's power." This means its holy damage it already has gets boosted by sacred infusion. Only slightly better guard counter.
  I tested this with a lvl 150 Hero, all stats were the same with minimum requirements for the weapon, so 76 STR for Heavy and 68 FAI when I tested the Sacred infusion.
  Enemy was a Radahn Soldier in Divine Tower, he has enough health and 0 holy damage negation.
  
  Firstly, Sacred Blade Ash of War does not give it more damage than other weapons.
  
  2H AR Heavy: 889
  2H AR Sacred: 852
  
  Guard Counter Heavy: 1050
  Guard Counter Sacred: 1079
  
  2H R1 Heavy: 755
  2H R1 Sacred: 688
  
  Conclusion: 1.Sacred Blade does not give it more AR. 2. The Guard counter does slightly more damage and the normal attacks do less damage on a sacred infusion. Heavy infusion is better, if you go 99 FAI you don't even reach the same AR as heavy with 76 STR.

  This does increased Poise damage compared to other Great Hammers. A two-handed light attack will deal 360 Poise damage, whereas all other Greathammers will do 336, an ~7% change in Poise damage dealt across all attacks. As an example, you'll need 46 Armor Poise alongside a Colossal Sword + the Bullgoat's Talisman to trade into this thing. Against other Great Hammers, you'd only need 41 Armor Poise.

  Going through the comments, it seems like the console version did not receive the update in time. Also the knight does not seem to respawn? Hope they fix it. I don’t want to go into the next journey for the hammer. The game is already difficult in NG+3.

  If anybody is curious, the "Further Holy Imbuement" means that the Guard Counter effect scales solely off the base Holy damage, not Strike. Using a Sanctified infusion splits your damage into ~60% Holy so your guard counter does significantly more.

  Just wanted to post this out front -- the drop bug for this was only fixed in the current calibration update (1.12.1), so you must play online for this to work properly, otherwise you will still be in 1.12. Should be patched soon, I hope!

  You NEED to have the 1.12.1 version of the game or it will NOT drop and instead you will get a shield.
  
  And NO, it does NOT spawn anywhere else. Ive tried for hours to get one to drop, but I only got armor pieces, smithing stones, and shields.

  Using this with Savage Lion's Claw absolutely demolishes. With Sacred infusion faith is only C scaled but with Flame Art faith is B scaled. I'm running with 48 str and 80 faith for reference. Flame Art seems to be the way to go. Again I highly recommend using Savage Lion's Claw.

  Available very early on and worth trying for anyone running STR/FAI. Incredible damage output, but it's offset by having a pretty short range. Against foes that move a lot, expect to whiff more than you'd like due to that and some of the swing arcs. Personally I found the usability increased by having a gap closing ash of war on it. It's also got excellent guard counter capability, and will stun a lot of things very quickly - even bosses.
  
  Despite the downside, because bosses in this DLC give you so few opportunities to get hits in, IMO you want to be maximising your damage output at each of those opportunities, and I can't really see many weapons letting you maximise damage output more than this thing.

  I don't know what the poise dmg for this hammer is, but stuns even bosses with a few guard counters. And it hits regular mobs like a truck. I never thought I'd swap out Great Stars but this thing is just so stratifying to swing.

  this thing is awesome on a guard counter build as it gets a special guard counter move. 54 STR and like 25 FTH 2 handed, defelecting hardtear, guard counter talisman, blade of mercy talisman. Perfect block like in Sekiro and Guard Counter your way to poise breaks, get crits and blade of mercy ups attack after a crit, repeat!

  I think they made the black knight at the starting church drop this only they didn't do it for consoles, and he's the only one in the game who drops it. So if you're playing on console and he didn't drop it you're out of luck

  Absolutely wonderful weapon. At 62 str and 25 faith and heavy infusion, it's reporting 778 AR, compared to 809 AR from my heavy Giant-Crusher (both without any buffs). Considering it is very fast and has a super cool guard counter, this weapon is an absolute steal.

  I got a greatshield drop from the church and from the fog fortress. Anyone know of a different way to get the hammer? Farming them doesn’t seem to work I have dozens of armor pieces and no weapon.

  Kinda reminds me of Morne's Greathammer from Dark Souls 3. Minus the gargoyles.

  So they CAN make elemental weapons infusible in the current engine, they just consciously chose to screw over half of the ones in the base game.

  The range is just so insanely, insanely, insanely pitiful that I can't see how this could ever be good. There are straight swords with longer range than this "great" hammer.

  Sacred Blade AoW and it does not give extra holy damage two this weapon but if you are a faith build putting scared blade on it or any other holy enchant will give you WAY more damage than using Order's blade buff anyway so.... thats kind of a shame all around but it is what it is.

  At +25 and Heavy its scaling is Str A Faith D, but the value of that A is only slightly lower than the Great Mace's S, with a higher base physical to boot.
  And it has 90 holy damage on top of that. So it hits pretty hard; I used the Great Mace throughout the game and this is almost a straight upgrade.
  It swings slower than the Great Mace, though, but I was already using a Guard Counter-focused strategy, so this is perfect for that. It had enough oomph to knock the Blackgaol Knight around, and that's not nothing.

  A lot of people don't have the courage to guard counter with a 2-hander. This is the weapon that teaches you how invaluable it can be. It's very rewarding when used right.

  I got the Greatshield from the knight near the starting area by the waterfall. It went right into my inventory and I did not get this hanmer everyone claims you get, and he did not respawn. So I've tried farming the knights near 2 different graces and am only getting the armor. I've never heard of anybody getting the weapon to drop from a knight that wasn't by the waterfall in the church. Either the drop rate is Celebrant level bad, or I am doing something wrong here. Is there possibly another knight out there that drops the hammer guaranteed?

  This weapon doesn't get any hidden bonuses to holy weapon buffs as far as I can tell. The AR increase is the same as other weapons from buffs like Sacred Blade and Order's Blade.
  
  I think the description is referring to the innate holy AP on the weapon. If you stack holy on top of this it makes it more effective at powering through flat defenses. So it does amplify holy damage in a way, but it's due to the innate holy and damage formula, not because it gives any extra bonuses to holy buffs.
  
  When infused with Sacred, it also has lower Faith scaling than almost all other Great Hammers at C / 71.30%. The low scaling is a shame but it's probably to balance out the base holy - it still ends up with the highest holy AP of all Great Hammers.

  Can confirm that holy buffs get amplified on this weapon.
  Tested with base base Battle Hammer vs Blacksteel Greathammer on the shadow villagers on the road:
  Orders Blade buff increased the damage of the Battle Hammer from 139 to 200, same buff increased the damage of Blacksteel Greathammer from 140 to 244!

  Got it from the earliest knight you can find and have been using it to beat the DLC so far. Not the most spectacular weapon on a str/fth build, but I like greathammers and this one is actually infusable. Plus the drip is top tier

  WOAH! On PC, the Blacksteel Greathammer is a guaranteed drop (no pickup, directly to inventory) from the Knight in the starting area chuch. However, on Playstation the Blacksteel Great Shield is the guaranteed drop (no pickup, directly to inventory) from the same knight. I don't have an Xbox to test what the guaranteed drop is.
  
  I am trying to get this as a normal drop but unsure if that's even possible.

  I reckon the drop rate's rather low on this one, I've already acquired 5 whole armor sets off the knight at the Ensis Checkpoint with no sign of it

  This weapon has two special properties; 1: Guard counters deal extra holy damage with no FP cost. 2: Buffing it with specifically holy damage increases the damage buff even more than usual. To take advantage of the 2nd property, you should avoid infusing it anything that prevents it from being buffable. Unless you use the sacred blade ash of war, in that case you can infuse it with holy and buff it with sacred blade. Though I can imagine buffing it with Order's blade with normal or heavy infusion is optimal.

  It’s found by the church to the north east of the cave when you first enter the DLC, aswell as 2 scagutree blessings. Definitely recommend you get it, absolutely amazing hammer.

  Put Flame Art on this Mace. It becomes one of the very few Weapons that have TRIPLE Damage-Types & Stat-Scaling. Physical, Fire, & Holy. It's a pretty cool concept. I think Great Stars is still the better Greathammer though, probably.

  "Blessed with an Erdtree incantation. Further holy imbuement will amplify the effect and greatly increase the armament's power."
  
  Would appreciate some clarity on what it means by this. Put Prayerful Strike on, making it Sacred, but not sure it had any impact on damage output I think might be indicated in the above description. Could it be referring to a grease or buff? Whatever the case, was planning to run with a great shield anyway so might bonk with this for a bit. Guard counter is sick.

  Do you guys think heavy with a str build or sacred with a faith build would be better? It gets A scaling with heavy, but sacred with appropriate stats edges out a little more AR. It is holy damage though, so that isn't the greatest. The guard counter explosion is also holy damage so it should scale with faith, which makes a faith build more appealing. On the other hand, heavy on a str build gets around 10 less AR, but it's mostly physical instead of holy which is definitely good in most scenarios. I've been going back and forth with it and I'm not sure which to go with yet.

  This weapon is amazing. With 50 strength, 23 dex, 62 faith, plus holy scorpion charm and +24 my ar is 1007 infused with prayerful strike sacred affinity. Doing up to 3k per cast no buffs on certain enemies. The weapon gets bonus power when it has sacred affinity applied.

  This drops at the Church of Consolation, next to the Gravesite Plain grace. Kill the Black Knight and he will drop it.

  So what does "holy imbuement" mean in this case? Does it mean giving it the blessed infusion? Or does it mean buffing it with something like holy grease or sacred blade?

  I found one of these close to the starting area in an encampment. There was a knight that was wielding this and a greatshield, i think its just a random drop from those guys. I guess i got extremely lucky because it was the first such enemy i had ever seen. The Guard counter move is basically Radagon's AOE hammer smash. This weapon will also always deal a bit of holy damage regardless of affinity, with Sacred affinity its a perfect holy bonk weapon that does significantly more holy damage than any other great hammer.
