- For the Dark Souls variant, see Smough's Hammer.
Smough's Great Hammer is a great hammer in Dark Souls III.
In-Game Description
- Twisted great Hammer associated with Smough, the last knight to remain at his post, guarding the ruined cathedral.
- Restore HP while attacking, a carryover from Smough's past as an executioner.
- Skill: Perseverance
Anchor weapon in earth to temporarily boost poise. Damage reduced while activated.
Availability[]
Found in Irithyll of the Boreal Valley, inside the middle chest on the upper gallery floor of the Distant Manor. The area is located shortly after exiting the drainage with several Sewer Centipedes and is guarded by three Silver Knights.
Characteristics[]
Returning from the original Dark Souls, Smough’s Great Hammer has seen a number of improvements including: A significantly lower strength requirement to wield it, a lower weight stat, and more competitive damage for its class, being only second to Ledo’s Great Hammer.
The high base damage of Smough’s Great Hammer makes the weapon particularly effective on strength builds that don’t intend to level strength to the hard cap or players looking for a lower stat investment alternative to Ledo’s Great Hammer.
