The Blacksmith Giant Hammer is a hammer in Dark Souls.

In-Game Description

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

Dropped by the Giant Blacksmith in Anor Londo upon death.

Characteristics

The Blacksmith Giant Hammer is a surprisingly viable weapon. It has the quick poise breaking ability of the hammer class weapons as well as a good reach. It has low scaling but a high base damage, and still more scaling than any weapon upgraded through the lightning path (which have no scaling whatsoever). In terms of damage, with no investment in stats, it will deal much more damage than any basic weapon in the axe or hammer category, making it a very good candidate for a lightning weapon. With some investment in Strength, it will rival the greatswords in terms of damage, which is very good for a weapon in the Hammer category.

The Blacksmith Giant Hammer is a popular weapon for SL1 (Soul Level 1) playthroughs, as it can be 2-handed by Level 1 characters while having high base damage.
