Weapon behavior

See the item notes for verified weapon behavior.

Reinforcement and comparison

Physical damage scales only with Strength. Its attacks deal thrust damage despite using a hammer-style swing, allowing physical thrust-counter interactions such as the Leo Ring bonus.

Normal reinforcement reaches +15. Andre needs the Large Ember for +5 to +6 and the Very Large Ember for +10 to +11. Normal, Raw and Crystal versions can use resins and weapon-enchantment spells. Crystal reinforcement prevents ordinary repairs.

Magic and Enchanted add magical damage with Intelligence scaling; Divine and Occult use Faith. Fire and Lightning remove attribute scaling, while Chaos gains damage from held Humanity up to 10. These magical and elemental versions cannot receive temporary weapon coatings.

In-game description

Weapon type: Hammer
Attack type: Thrust

Traditionally a mining tool, but the hard
cone on the pommel is effective in battle.

A downward swing of the Pickaxe can crush
stone; a human head would be an afterthought.

Where to find

Enemy drop

Blighttown

Requirements

Reach boulder-throwing Infested Barbarians in the swamp.

From the drainage-tunnel bonfire, cross toward Quelaag's pale mound and the boulder-throwing giants. Defeat the boulder carriers and inspect their loot.
Rest at a bonfire for repeat attempts. The club-carrying barbarians instead drop Large Club.

Notes

Requirements and weight: Requires 14 Strength and weighs 5.
Scaling and damage type: Physical damage scales only with Strength. Its attacks deal thrust damage despite using a hammer-style swing, allowing physical thrust-counter interactions such as the Leo Ring bonus.
Handling: Its shorter reach differs from the Warpick. A missed swing can leave a stumbling recovery, and it does not share the heavy poise damage of every other hammer simply because of its menu category.
Reinforcement and weapon buffs: Normal reinforcement reaches +15. Andre needs the Large Ember for +5 to +6 and the Very Large Ember for +10 to +11. Normal, Raw and Crystal versions can use resins and weapon-enchantment spells. Crystal reinforcement prevents ordinary repairs.
Other upgrade paths: Magic and Enchanted add magical damage with Intelligence scaling; Divine and Occult use Faith. Fire and Lightning remove attribute scaling, while Chaos gains damage from held Humanity up to 10. These magical and elemental versions cannot receive temporary weapon coatings.
