The Smithscript Greathammer is a Greathammer found in Elden Ring’s Shadow of the Erdtree expansion, and it features a fantastic moveset that is guaranteed to make it one of the game’s most sought-after weapons. This unique Greathammer can be thrown by using your heavy attack, giving it some limited ranged capabilities without sacrificing the big melee damage that comes with its massive size.
Here’s what you need to know about the Smithscript Greathammer and where to find it.

Where to find Smithscript Greathammer
You can find the Smithscript Greathammer in Taylew’s Ruined Forge, a dungeon in Scadu Altus. You can reach it by heading just north of the Ancient Ruins Base Site of Grace.
Once inside Taylew’s Ruined Forge, make your way down some stairs, then a ladder, then jump over the gap ahead. To your left here you’ll find a stone golem and the Smithscript Axe, if you’re also interested in adding that to your collection.
Continue along the main path until you reach a giant column suspended above lava. Jump to it, then you’ll notice you can jump across again to reach the other side. Here, you’ll need to kill a slime before you head behind some debris to find the one and only Smithscript Greathammer.
Don’t head out just because you have your Smithscript Greathammer. Be sure to continue through the remainder of the dungeon to score the Smithscript Shield and more.
