How to Find Anvil Hammer in Elden Ring Shadow of the Erdtree DLC

The Anvil Hammer is located within the Ruined Forge Lava Intake dungeon. It is on the eastern side of the Gravesite Plain region, after crossing the Ellac Greatbridge and taking the lower path right of the Castle Front Site of Grace.

This is a small and fairly straightforward dungeon that players can travel to from the start. It is also somewhat easy to dodge all of the enemies inside if you just want the weapon, and there is no boss to fight.

Elden Ring players can get the Anvil Hammer by reaching the end of the Ruined Forge Lava Intake dungeon. The area contains very linear paths and its only trick is lava slimes dropping from the ceiling at inopportune points.

Follow the path down until there is a larger room with two paths. Take the top path and pull the lever to drop a giant column over the lava pit. Make the risky jump to the column and run all the way to the top.

There will be a narrow passageway to the right containing a furnace. Interact with the furnace to receive the Anvil Hammer and an Ancient Dragon Smithing Stone.

The Anvil Hammer comes with the Smithing Art Spears Skill that will raise spears from the ground after striking the hammer down. The weapon also requires 39 Strength, 20 Faith, 11 Intelligence, and 10 Dexterity to wield.
