Granite hammer detail

The granite hammer is a warhammer dropped by the Grotesque Guardians that can be found on the Slayer Tower's rooftop. Level 50 Attack and Strength are required to wield it.

It acts as a rock hammer in the inventory, but will automatically smash gargoyles when it is equipped.

The granite hammer is the best melee training weapon for players with 50 attack. The attack speed of the hammer matches scimitars and the abyssal whip, making it more comparable to a level 50 scimitar rather than to other crush weapons.

Special attack

Hammer Blow

A player performing the granite hammer's special attack.

The granite hammer has a special attack, Hammer Blow, which consumes 60% of the player's special attack energy, and deals an attack with 50% increased accuracy, while guaranteeing 5 additional damage to that attack.

Even if the special attack misses, the target will still take a minumum of 5 damage from it. This excludes NPCs that are immune to normal forms of attack, such as vyrewatch and slayer monsters the player does not have the Slayer level to attack.

Trivia

  • The examine text is a reference to the song U Can't Touch This by MC Hammer.
  • The design and examine text are also references to the character Muradin Bronzebeard in Warcraft universe.
  • The granite hammer's special attack shares its animation with the dragon warhammer. On release this included the red "ghost" effect trailing it; this was changed to a grey trail shortly after release.
