How to read this record
- Damage
- four numbers: physical / magic / fire / lightning. 80/0/0/0 is 80 physical and nothing else.
- Scaling grades
- four letters in the order Strength / Dexterity / Intelligence / Faith. D/C/-/- means Strength D, Dexterity C, no Intelligence or Faith. A dash means that stat adds nothing.
- What the letters mean
- S 141%+, A 101-140%, B 81-100%, C 51-80%, D 25-50%, E 1-24% bonus. They are ranges, not exact numbers. A few weapons (Balder Side Sword, Uchigatana) show A at +14/+15 even though the listed bonus is 85%, a quirk of the game that players report; the Ledger keeps the sourced letters.
- Requirements
- the stats you need to use the weapon without a damage penalty. “Two-handed Strength” is the Strength needed when you hold it in both hands, which is lower.
- Weight and durability
- weight counts toward your equip load; durability is how much use the weapon takes before it needs repair. The game shows no unit for either.
- Upgrade tables
- Level is the upgrade (+0, +1...). Bonus is the scaling grade at that level. Material and Souls are the cost to reach it. Aux / DR holds the auxiliary figures exactly as the source lists them; the Ledger does not interpret them.
- Source volume
- which volume of the source wiki the weapon came from; it has no effect on gameplay.
Chaos weapons gain their extra damage from your Humanity, not from stats, so the Bonus column shows dashes. Lightning and Fire paths also show dashes because they have no stat scaling.
Overview
- Class
- Great Hammers

- Note
- BOSS WEAPON (Demon Titanite, max +5, no infusions) - created by ascending any +10 hammer or great hammer with Soul of Smough. Has the HIGHEST WEIGHT and HIGHEST STRENGTH REQUIREMENT of any weapon in the game. Regenerates 10 HP per hit landed - shares this trait with Server (Curved Greatswords) and Butcher Knife. Cannot be enchanted or buffed by any means. Despite high base damage, scales poorly (50% STR only) and ends up weaker than significantly lighter options like Great Club or Demon's Greataxe at high STR investment. Cross-check: Cross-validated against Fandom and Fextralife - all 6 levels match exactly (300/330/360/390/420/450).
