The Giant-Crusher Hammer is one of the heaviest and most hard-hitting hammers in Elden Ring, and here's the location guide to help you find it.

Elden Ring is a massive open-world game that gives players incredible freedom to create their own unique builds. By investing their points into different levels, the corresponding stat will increase and improve the character's build to play however players think is strongest.

Of these options, a primarily strength-oriented build is very viable and can do very high amounts of damage. While bigger weapons swing slower, they hit incredibly hard and can stun your enemy while you wind up for the next attack. The Giant-Crusher Hammer is one of the biggest hammers you can use, and here's how to find it.

The hammer is located in one of the game's later areas, near the capital. With the high stats needed to use it, you may still need a few more strength points to wield it correctly by the time you find this weapon. Head to the Outer Wall Phantom Tree site of grace to find the hammer.

From here, begin heading south past the animals and the brief treeline. You will then see a circular area of spiked poles full of weak enemies. Before you can reach this area, an Ulcerated Tree Spirit will drop down, killing the weak enemies on impact. It's best to take out this monster before trying to obtain the hammer.

The Ulcerated Tree Spirit appears as a field boss in another area of the map, but this one is a bit weaker. While it is weaker, it is just as big and can attack with broad arching melee attacks and ranged yellow fire-spitting attacks. Be quick in the fight, as most of its attacks can be easily dodged. Keeping a medium distance will also protect you from its grab attack, which does the highest damage. Despite its size, it can move surprisingly fast, but its combos are only two to three in a burst at a time.

Once the beast is felled, look for the nearby carriage on the southern side of the circle. Along the back side of the carriage is a chest, jump up to the small platform and interact with it to obtain the Giant-Crusher Hammer within.

The Giant Crusher Hammer has one of the highest strength requirements in the game at 60 Strength. It has very high base damage, and if you enhance it to "heavy," it can be upgraded to an S-level scale. Without any enhancement, it will only scale with strength. Its skill is Endure, which temporarily boosts your poise and significantly reduces received damage. Other Ashes of war can be placed onto the weapon should you dislike Endure and want to change things.
