Spiked Mace | Dark Souls 3 Wiki

You never see anyone using this even tho it's really good, it's got the hyperarmour, the decent damage and strike, the true combo and even bleed that can proc fast with resin.

Submit

Heavy is so efficient on this thing that on ***h quality and luck builds it will out do refined/hollow. Hollow does theoretically give bonus bleed but even hollow+rouge+R1L2R1 is not enough for a bleed proc. Basically, use it on strength builds before you get or can use Ledo's, and maybe for a little while after too.

very good pvp weapon early to mid game btw

hoh-hoh-hoh
eeeheeee

(PVE) The damage of this weapon in a Strength build is good but the real thing is the R2 Hyperarmor and combo, kill a lot of Ringed/Lothric/Black Knights with this weapon, really fun

Submit

True combo go brrr

Submit

I've only ever used it in PvE, but I'm slightly disappointed at how the Evangelist can absolutely wreck you with this, but for PvE, there are better greathammers. It's disappointing because it looks pretty cool, has a good moveset and induces bleeding. I can see how much better it would be in PvP though but when I'm doing more damage with BKS at 40/40 str/dex, I can't help but wish it were stronger.

Submit

I have a chaos one. Gonna make a dark one. Its fun. Didn't realize it was that good though.

Submit

But i like the wooden hammer more :(

Submit

R1, L2, R1, win. Unironically the second best greathammer, only topped by Ledo's. And no, I am not talking about damage, but versatility, instead of having that shitty version of perseverance that is never useful outside of PVE, it has a relatively quick spin to win WA that lets you get 3 hits off. And yes, by that standard, the Great Wooden Hammer is the third best greathammer.

Submit

With the C C scaling in faith and strength on a blessed spiked mace may be a good blessed weapon

This wealom helped me to get all those itens for the covenant in invasions

Submit

i need evangelist grab i need to give someone a hug

Submit

bleed part is wrong. it's around 43 on most infusions and at 73 bleed infused if i remember correctly

Submit

Ah yes cleance my basturd curse mommy

Submit

this weapon is broken with carthus rouge i get so many bleeds on

Submit

These values need to be updated maybe, i have raw +2 and it has 43 blood

Submit

its not the best weapon, but a good one nonetheless.

Submit

Overrated weapon at lower levels up to 40-45. Next to impossible to get to spin to win without a dimwit on the other end. They know what is coming, they see it, and next to nobody falls for it.
Plus the spin to win you have to literally be within hugs distance, the extension for this weapon is terrible. If you add on the bonus that you might land a bleed because of dipshittery, I give this weapon a 6/10 for stupidity.

Submit

Hand it over...that thing...your spiked mace.Cause it spins, like me. I like that.

Submit

I love it so much <3

Submit

Ahahaha mega tryhard casuls spinning around in the air still got their asses handed to pro pkcs users due to the fact that pkcs is so fast and long. Not trying to brag here but with my godlike skill and the best weapon in the game that is called pkcs. Damnnn, casuls using this mace or any other weapon don't stand a chance against me cuz I'm op.

Submit

I fear no man,but that.... thing.... *Spike mace true combo flashback* it scares me

Submit

best weapon

Submit

Looks awesome with Lightning infusion.

Submit

ah yes, le bloody bonk

Submit

Looks extra painful with Crystal Magic Weapon, with the protruding shards.

Submit

in all honesty, the fact that this thing gets up to 97 poison with the poison infusion is kind of insane. Insane in a good way

Submit

Use with full evangelists set and Dhorys' Gnawing in your offhand for maximum cleansing of bastard's curses

Submit

Just trying to get this thing is making me as crazy as the evangelists i'm killing for it

Submit

i got this on my strength build after i killed the FIRST evangelist, slapped a heavy gem on it, and the rest of the game for me was as if you were playing minecraft on peaceful mode

Submit

Wait a minute, the picture up top of the base weapon says it starts out with 43 bleed. And yet, the upgrade table for regular +10 shows that it has 33 bleed. So apparently, just upgrading the weapon 10 times causes it to lose 10 bleed?

Submit

Ok, this weapon is good...for noob ass trash casuls. Usually i can 1v6 with my lkss, but if one of the scrubs decides to use this cancerous*****ty weapon then i'll have to put it down to 1v4 or 5.

Submit

There is no way this thing actually gets 75 bleed with blood +10 right? (I don’t have the mace myself so I don’t know)

Submit

hey there can someone explain to me what the weapon art is good for? Only to use in the combo? I mean: If i hit a black knight with this weapon normally, i stagger him, but if i hit with L2 he gets extremly low damage and nothing else happens. it doesn't seem like i can break peoples shields with that move either, like i can with great swords for example.

Submit

Winged knight set, a nice looking crest shield or shield of want and this weapon = pretty scary looking gothic era heavy knight

Here are the stats for an standard spiked mace, just picked it up, for whoever edits this page:

I've noticed sometimes that when I go for the r1 l2 r1 combo people have been able to roll out of it before the second r1. Am I doing something wrong?

Submit

The Evengalist in the cathedral of the deep (the one upstsairs after the forts giant) has dropped this every single time for me. Either that mob has 100 % droprate first time kill or i have been lucky beyond belief. I hope it is the latter smileyface

Submit

I am playing since weeks in the undead settlement and likely have killed more than 100 of these Evangelists and got only one Spiked Mace so far. The drop rate for this weapon must be insanely low. My char can't use the weapon I would need to make a new char and then farm the weapon, I am not sure about if this will be fun if you don't get it for days and days.

Submit

I am playing since weaks in the undead settlement PVP and do the level a lot and kill the Evangelists, and got so far only one Spiked Mace, that drop rate must be horrible. I surely have killed more than 100 of them. I want to make a new charakter with that weapon but I am not sure if it will be fun to get the weapon.

Submit

Darkmoon blade would like to know your location

Submit

NG5 and farming the evangelist. . I ABSOLUTELY HATE THIS WEAPON LOL

Submit

At 14 STR (2-handed) and 40 DEX, it has 512 AR if infused with Sharp Gem. Odd, since it scales better than the Heavy one on STR. At least the DEX users can wield maces against heavy armored mobs.

Submit

I don't know who filled in all of the individual upgrade tabs, but it is an absolute mess. Almost all of them, almost every field is completely wrong. I have edited a few of them . It's a ton of work so if anyone has a +0 spiked mace, they could fill some of them in.

Submit

I'm honestly surprised at how little I see this weapon, it's stupid good. With 35 STR, a +10 Heavy Spiked Mace, and a 40 Faith CSC Lightning Weapon/Darkmoon Blade I deal 1100~ damage to players on the guaranteed combo (R1 -> L2 -> R1). Especially good against multiple players, spin bash catches people really often when they're trying to flank you. Build here:

Submit

Infusion with blessed gem is wrong, faith scaling becomes B scaling

Submit

As if Id level dex as a warrior LOL*****YYYYY

Submit

This weapon is stupidly strong. It destroys in PvP so hard, it's almost unfair. Pretty damn powerful in PvE too.

Submit

40 STR 60 FTH, put the rest in endurance and some vigor and put on life ring +3, ring of favour +3 cloranthy ring +3 and prisoner's chain, use yorshka's chime and use darkmoon blade on the weapon for nearly 800 AR. In duels it's also a good idea to put on sunlight oath and deep protection to reach 940 AR, in fights simply hit light attack > weapon art > light attack, if your opponent is a ***** and likes to run around and keep his distance, bait him with the weapon art then hit the heavy attack to punish him, alternatively heavy attack > light attack > weapon art is also a viable punish, i've had many invasions so far, most players go down after the 3 hit combo and the weapon is insanely fun to use. Another tip, if you dont have darkmoon blade i'd recommend Lightning Blade, the damage is the same, but the main difference is lightning damage can be reduced by endurance levels, which is why darkmoon blade is better as most players will always level endurance and almost never level INT which increases your defense against darkmoon blade. Lightining Blade > Intelligience players Darkmoon Blade > Strength/Dex players Dark Blade > Faith/Intelligence/Pyromancer players Hope this helps.

At +10 sharp has an A in dex

Works fairly well on my Hollow build despite low scaling with Luck. I also carry a +10 Hollow Lothric Shield in my left which adds another 5 Luck levels, meaning at 40 Luck, the weapons boost me to 50. Casting Carthus Flame Arc and Power Within really racks up damage, even more so with Fire Clutch Ring. I also have fairly high Vitality to wear some medium armor with this combo and still get fast roll, which catches a lot of people off guard. Bleed isn’t terribly fast, but it helps every now and again. Hard to choose whether this weapon or Great Mace is better though.

Submit

Lightning infusion shows a gain in dark damage instead of lightning.

Submit

This great hammer may not have the best raw damage or scaling compared to the other GHs, but it more than makes up for it because it’s just plain fun to use. While most GHs have a variation of Perseverance, which is nice for poise, the WA is a joy for swarming enemies (turns Deacons of the Deep into Deacons of the Stunlock), and if you can proc a bleed, it makes up for the missing damage. Great range, buffable, great hyper armor, and with the right combos, makes any fairly large enemy a breeze. Only downsides are that it’s a pain to farm and you don’t get a maniacal cackle when you’re swinging it. But I can live with that.

Submit

Curiously, a Blood Gem doesn't seem to increase the bleed damage, but it still decreases the base stats.

Submit

My farming recommendation: 1) equip your farming gear. For rings, I recommend equipping the hornet ring and the slumbering dragoncrest ring alongside your gold serpent ring. 2) start at cleansing chapel. 3) head through the first shortcut doors on the right side of the chapel. 4) take the elevator up. 5) go down the stairs to the right. 6) replenish health, use a coin, and buff. 7) backstab and finish the job. 8) rinse and repeat. Note: I like this method because you don't have to worry about fighting more than one enemy at a time.

Submit

The true combo is actually R1>L2>R1 instead of R1>L1>R1, but I'm sure most people realize

Submit

Normally I don’t go around saying this word, but this weapon is actually OP. I get it, every weapon is OP or trash design on who wields it. But slap heavy infusion with a buff and you can literally “one shot” people (I say one shot loosely as if you get hit ONCE with this and you are open to the weapon art full combo which can and will kill you). The only saving grace is that this thing is a great hammer, meaning it’s slower then a tank without the ability to move. Not to mention it’s an extremely early weapon to get. In short, hope you don’t get hit by this monster, because you WILL die if you get hit by it...

Submit

For a bleed/luck build:
Main Hand- Hollow Spiked Mace (Blood inf only gains 7 extra bleed, has 50 less base damage, and does not scale with Luck. Hollow weapons can also be infused, so you can use Carthus Rouge if you want to make up for the 7 bleed)
Off Hand- Bleed Notched Whip (Has 75 bleed with Blood inf and a lot of range)
35 Luck (You gain 5 Luck from hollow weapon in main hand so you will actually have 40)
40 Str (Spiked Mace will be your main damaging)
Other stats depend on what other equipment you want to use.

Submit

Did this get buffed? My inventory is showing bleed at 43 base.

Submit

I haven't gotten the strength to use this with one hand but from what I can tell, it's pretty overpowered

Submit

best farming spot i've found so far is : from the cliff underside bonfire drop down to the stone bridge, there is an evangelist right here, kill it and bone out. cat ring could be useful since there are some other enemies around and you dont wanna be too low health when fighting them
