Starting Site of Grace: Stormveil Cliffside

Before you go

  • Collect the Rusty Key in Stormveil's dark room guarded by a Banished Knight.
  1. After defeating Margit, activate Stormveil Main Gate and speak to Gostoc in the room to the left. Take his suggested side passage along the cliff.
  2. Follow the ruined wall and rocks to Stormveil Cliffside grace. Climb the stone steps into the storage building above it.
  3. Go up the wooden stairs, watching for enemies throwing fire pots at the explosive barrels. Let a throw clear the barrels from a safe distance before climbing farther.
  4. Continue up the next stairs to the dark room on the right. The door can lock behind you, leaving you with a Banished Knight.
  5. Defeat the Banished Knight and collect the Rusty Key from the corpse. Return to the locked door on the floor below and open it.
  6. Return to the locked wooden door on the lower level and use the key. Climb the ladder behind it, then turn right instead of taking the main route onward.
  7. Jump the gap onto the wooden platform, pass the Commoners, and cross the beams. Make the next jump toward the opening in the outer wall.
  8. Go through the opening, descend the outside stairs, and enter the small tower room around the corner. Search the corpse on its ledge to collect Brick Hammer.

Notes

  • Requires 31 Strength with no Dexterity requirement and weighs 12.5. Standard damage scales only with Strength. Two-handing meets the requirement at 21 Strength.
  • Deals physical Strike damage, useful against enemies that resist cutting attacks but are weaker to blunt hits. Heavy affinity reaches S Strength scaling at +25; the letter alone does not guarantee more damage than every other great hammer.
  • Barbaric Roar costs 16 FP and replaces the heavy-attack sequence with a forceful combination while its buff lasts. Those altered attacks behave differently from the hammer's normal heavy swings.
  • Its head is compact despite the weight. Get close enough for the hammer itself to connect instead of treating the weapon as a long polearm.
  • Its special Heavy upgrade path gives independently scaled skills a slightly smaller Strength contribution than the ordinary Heavy path. This does not remove its strong Strength scaling for weapon hits.
  • A fixed corpse pickup on Stormveil's outer-wall detour. The Rusty Key opens the approach; neither a Stonesword Key nor a Godrick victory is required.
  • Upgrade it with ordinary Smithing Stones to +25. Its critical rating is the normal 100.
  • Can use compatible Ashes of War. Grease or a weapon enchantment can be applied while using an affinity that allows weapon buffs; elemental and status affinities normally prevent those coatings.
