Ledo's Great Hammer | Dark Souls 3 Wiki

bang, bang, Maxwell's silver hammer came down upon her head

Submit

the first swipe of the L2 basically makes R1s useless in pvp. It's a *way* better attack in neutral

Submit

Anvilicious weapon

Submit

Fun wepon

Submit

In theory, if Ledo could be friends with half these nutters, then i assume all three of our undeads could have had more friends among some of the enemy and boss rosters throughout the games. Just our undeads never chose to, either because their motives conflicted with everyone else's, we were killing tragic or evil monsters that had to be removed, or because we were too fond of violence solving things, or because even the few friendly ones were distant or took arms against us (even reluctantly).

Man, i totally actually retroactively feel like a jerk for killing these critters now, since some seemed just forced into it, throughout the games.
Oh Ledo, teach me thy secret of friendships and how to make them, as a chummy strength build, if there shoulder ever be a dark souls 4 for whatever reason.

Was struggling with Midir for a long while, and switched to this and took him down finally in two tries with this weapon, dunno if that's a good selling point, but just sayin'

Submit

This thing is what the Great Club's partner tells it not to worry about

Submit

smough's still coolest!!!

p.s. they shouldve gave smough's hammer a better skill. how disrespectful. i mean atleast try. give the user a jump butt slam which acts as a force/shockwave knock-down maybe have it scale with faith idk

Submit

This one's for BAMBAM, a player who invaded me when I was starting to use Ledo's hammer while also wielding Ledo's hammer. Hope you're doing good out there buddy, that Gael kill was in your honor.

Submit

It is supremely disappointing that Elden Ring does not have a true equivalent to this hammer. The Call to Stone weapon art could have easily been a Ash of War for Colossal Weapons. Cragblade is the closest we have, but its only the damage buff and nothing else. You can't even shatter the rocks from cragblade with a heavy attack.

Submit

This thing's weapon art is what Cragblade should've been.

Submit

Simple man's strategy for Ledo's:

1: 60 str

2: hit thing

Submit

You need 29 VIT, Prisoner's Chain, FaP+3 and Havel's+3 for full Ledo's cosplay. And it's totally worth it

Submit

Big stik me like smash ledo hama gud

Submit

funny larg hamber

Submit

50 vigor + iron/rock flesh + perseverance/stomp. With all that defense stacked up, you can go through ledo's weapon art and end up with... 50 hp remaining.

Seriously, do NOT trade against this.

Submit

It is said in the old legends that Ledo was the man who taught Giant Dad to make pancakes

Submit

It's official: you suck!

Submit

Love how it takes up a third of my screen, but u dont always need to see em to squash em

Submit

Why does it clip like eight miles into the floor when you swing

Smough's has the same problem too

Submit

"...became a close friend to the giants, and even Havel the Rock"
Implies Havel was much more of a threat than even the giants

Submit

The full WA combos if you miss the first part of the spin in WA L1 and spam the R2 without delay for the smash. You cannot wait for the hit confirmation of the second hit of weapon art spin to land, you have to spam R2 and go all in, if the second part of L1 hits and misses first get ready for some undead pancake.

Submit

Combo L2+R2 is amazing

Submit

'After killing Halflight, Spear of the Church (or a player boss for the same boss fight) Silver Knight Ledo will no longer invade. You can however still get his weapon by reviving Judicator Argo at the Purging Monument for a varying amount of souls.'

This is incorrect: i just killed halflight, spear of the church, died a few times to some bosses, and then went back to find havels ring and silver knight ledo kept invading untill i killed him.

Submit

i wish someone would write the backstab and ripost motion values on greathammers

Submit

Me: lands a fully charged r2

Somewhere in my head: FATALITY

Submit

From just had to out-do smoughs hammer with this one.

Submit

If you decided to get 6 of these and equip them all at once, you would have 168 weight units, which, when combined with the 3 units for rings, would be 95.7 percent of the maximum carry weight.

Submit

Strength builds are easy mode in PVP only if you’re fighting a bad player. It is very tough to fight a decent player using a light weapon with a heavy weapon.

Man this weapon is brain dead in PvE and PvP. I normally run a dex/faith build with the Astora gs (the best build) but decided to try pure strength for NG+2 AoA. This thing trivialized the whole thing. Even Friede. It took like a 5th of her health every combo in every phase. It wasn’t hard at any point. It just dealt too much damage.

In PvP I one shotted someone with the WA+r2 combo. Idk what armor they had or what their stats were at but they just straight up died from full health.

I really don’t get why everyone hates on dex builds. Strength builds take way less skill. They make the game easy.

Bonk

Sorry host, bad idea to drink estus after a roll. Maybe you forgot that this weapon makes a 1 meter leap with it's r2.

Submit

The 1 Greathammer that is both good and fun. Wow

Submit

Anyone else getting r1 stunlocked by ledo when he uses this thing? I always thought people are babies when they complain about stunlock and assumed they’re trash. But I literally could not roll after his first 2-hand r1 my weak elfriede cosplayer froze in place every time lmao. Finally got him after a few parries when he was 1-handing.

Submit

Better than PKCS in every way. Use this weapon over that if you have a brain.

Submit

Here’s a tip for you all when the great club is fully upgraded with heavy gem it does 3 less ar then ledos hammer + you can add resin to the great club sense it’s heavy infused and it swings faster then ledos hammer in short the great club is better and in the beginning of the game

Submit

I bet all you casuls that use this trash weapon are a bunch of big tittied lards just like Ledo. You see when you use the Broken Straight Sword you get in shape and gain some skill so you win both ways, keep that in mind ladies.

Submit

An observation; the hammer takes on the same texture/appearance as a Heavy Gem when the weapon art is used, which makes sense.

This could be coincidence but from software are the kings of tiny details like this.

“Time to put this brawn to use” said Andre as he mounted his anvil onto a pole to create this weapon before moving to Lothric

Submit

Quick hack for fire buffed Ledo's: moveset swap with the ringed knight spear weapon art and instead of buffing with rocks, Ledo's will be buffed with fire and inflict fire damage split with physical damage. If you do a fully charged R2 when buffed with fire it will shatter rocks as if they were there.

What you gain from wielding this weapon is massive strength. But it will cost you from gaining any skill whatsoever and you end up being a dumb ****tard who needs to spam the weapon art to win. Come to think of it most of the casuls I slay that use this don’t do anything other than the weapon art and they end getting backstabbed some many times that they rage quit presumably with the thought “ Uurr litle dex won’t stop cheating... I use hammer for big bonks but I can’t not ever hit him. Dark Souls 3 isn’t fair.” This seems to be the common thought process of the typical strength build to so I don’t get entirely surprised when those trash cans dc. I just thank the gods that the pkcs exists otherwise you wouldn’t be able to put those trash cans in their place. You guys should pick it up too but I guess you don’t have the intelligence to at this point.

If anyone is wondering the weapon art buff from start of the buff to end lasts about 40 seconds

Submit

don't wear the silver knight set if you aren't going to use this weapon exclusively, incorrect cosplay havin f^cks

Submit

That 85 physical block tho

Submit

Ledo left his pubic hairs on the end of the handle

Submit

Important note about the weapon art. The second spin which combos into the slam will not do so if the opponent is at a far enough distance. If you catch them with the second spin hit and they’re far enough for the hammer head to reach them but not the handle you can expect them to roll away at the last fraction of a second. If they get caught while really close to you it will combo every time. It’s designed to be a combo but one that has an extremely close cut off point.

Submit

Thicc hammer

Submit

is it good for strength builds?

Submit

This is basically a Trick Weapon. Untricked a big whopping hammer, tricked a big whopping hammer WITH STONES ON IT TO MAKE IT EVEN BIGGER YEAH

Submit

It has a giant spike protruding from the top. I know it would be whacky but I’d have loved if they gave it a unique running attack which uses the weight of the hammer to plough the spear head through enemies rather than the standard dash slam because as it is in game it’s only for appearance and serves no function.

Submit

Just a little thing to takenote about: you don't need to do the 2nd part of the WA to scatter the stones around. While the hammer is covered in stone, a fully charged r2 can shatter those stones.

Submit

A hammer worthy of Jared...

Submit

That's a beeeeeg bonk

Submit

Some say this is a casul weapon, easy to outsmart.
Maybe...
Ive still yet to meet someone who can outamart its L2

As much as I like this weapon it’s not as legendary as the drumstick of KFC.

HULK SMASH

HONEY!! WHERE'S ME MALLET??!

Submit

Honestly the worst thing about using this weapon is that it takes up half your goddamn screen

Submit

Casuls' weapon tsk tsk tsk. Scrubs using this slow ass*****ty weapon are just stupid creeps for me to farm soul. Imma like dodge then BAMM backstab right in the anus XD.

Submit

I'm not a casul. I will run through the game in a loincloth with a broken sword and defeat every boss. Then I will play pvp and defeat the entire world. My mommy loves me.

Submit

Went in Spear of the Church fight with it... the enemy player tought it was a good idea to tank the full WA + R2 with his insane poise bonus. He died right then and there.

Submit

Is the WA second spin to R2 a combo?

Submit

So From decided not to put the silver knight sword or spear in the game, but decided on a hammer that people rarely use due to the strength requirement, looks like my dream will never come true...

Submit

Does anyone know how much Dmg the WA gives the Weapon? Is it a flat buff or is it dependant on something?

Submit

Come on and slam, and welcome to the WA spam

Submit

this weapon is a BEAST with the complete weapon art you can take someone out, i always run 66 strength and 2 hand it, if used correctly you can destroy anyone, just be careful because people WILL BACKSTAB you, pretty much every time

Submit

Even two handed at 40 strength this thing is a machine at level 90 because you stay out of meta level where you would want to be nearer to 66 strength

Submit

Ugliest weapon in the game

Submit

Wtf is this*****? More STR tard weapon for stupid trash casuls that solely rely on poise to survive in pvp?

Submit

I need the biggest hammer you have! *60 Str requirement, 28 weight* No, that’s too big.

Submit

Is it just me or its strong attack is the fastest and the most ranged of the greathammers

Submit

This is dex-fag hunter. 0 dex requirement! (Black Iron Ledo)

Submit

For even more damage, use Sacred Oath/Deep Protection with the damage buff from the Weapon Art for over 800 AR.

Submit

Use this, wear the exile set and smoughs helm for emo smough.

Submit

no matter what i use, in pvp i never stand a chance against anyone using this

Submit

Souls equivalent of the super sledge

I just one-shotted someone with the WA of this wep. in undead match...
