Great Mace

Huge bludgeon with sharp protrusions. An enlarged version of its smaller cousin.

Maintains all the advantages of smaller bludgeons, boasting few deficiencies while being very capable at breaking enemy guards and stances.

A shrewd choice for simple slugging matches.

The Great Mace weapon can be found at the following location:

• Inside a chest located in the camp with several trebuchets, southwest of the Grand Lift of DectusGrace. [Elden Ring Map here]

• Weapon Skill: Endure

• This weapon can be infused with Ashes of War

• Can be buffed by Magic or Consumables

• Great Mace can be upgraded by using Smithing Stones.

• As with other great hammers, has the highest poise damage and requires the least swings to break poise among all weapon types except for colossal hammers.

• Especially effective against enemies with low strike dmg resistance such as Radagon, Crystalians, and gargoyles (eg Valiant, Black Blade)

• At +25 with 91 STR, has higher physical damage than Great Stars with Heavy ashes equipped, even though both are labeled A scaling in STR. Great Mace: 283 + 453 = 736 total damage; Great Stars: 305 +398 = 703 total damage.

• Sell Value: 100.

• NOTE: As of Patch 1.08, Great Hammers poise damage has been reduced.

• NOTE: As of Patch 1.09, the scaling values of this weapon were changed. Please refer to the Upgrades Table of this weapon below. Additionally, speed, range, recovery time and guard counter speed of Great Hammers weapons has increased.

Is the Great Mace good Elden ring?

• Comparatively yes, as it can be obtained rather early and it outperforms other weapons in Attack Rating and Poise Damage, but only for those who enjoy the moveset of Great Hammers. The Great Mace is also good for staggering Enemies and scales well to strength.

The Great Mace can be infused with Ashes of War. Click below for a list of all possible Ashes of War that can be applied to the great hammer.
