Hammer FrenzyAfter calling the hammer back, the boss starts hurling it in a circular motion for a few seconds before coming to a stop.

To defeat the Mr. Hammer boss in Split Fiction, you’ll need to use his weapon against him. Here’s how it works: During the fight, Mr. Hammer will occasionally throw his hammer onto the ground. When this happens, the hammer will have a small health bar.

Your goal is to attack the hammer until its health is depleted, at which point Zoe can use her telekinesis to pick it up. Once you’ve got control of the hammer, you can hurl it at the boss for a few powerful shots before he summons it back to his hands.

Until you’re able to grab the hammer, your main focus should be on dodging Mr. Hammer’s attacks and waiting for him to toss his weapon. This part of the fight is all about patience and timing—avoid his moves, let him throw the hammer, and then strike when the opportunity arises. With a little persistence, you’ll take down the boss in just a few minutes.
