Like every other unique weapon in the game, the Just Pestle great hammer has a unique passive called Stunning, and it speaks for itself; you can deal an additional 15% stun on enemies. The base enchantment is called Grinding Mortar, and it can give better attack speeds and damage after a full combo.

Upgrade the base enchantment to Nothing Left to Chance, which can grant you an extra critical hit chance after a power attack for a short duration. On the other hand, you can go for Give and Receive, a much better version of the base enchantment with better stats for attack speed and damage.

You can find Forge's Friend within a chest at Mt. Forja Mines around the regions of Galawain's Tusks. Access to the area is gained while doing the main story quest called Our Dreams Divide Us Still.

Here are the stats of the Forge's Friend Great Hammer:

Physical Damage: 278
Stun: 270
Stamina Cost: 25
Critical Hit Chance: 3%

If you upgrade to Stoke the Forge, it is a refined version of the base enchantment; the radius for accumulation will increase, hitting nearby enemies. Alternatively, you can gain a boost in movement speed and dodge distance if you upgrade to Steel Yourself.

This Great Hammer is a menace to anything on the receiving end, especially with the Unavoidable Fate passive activated, which can eliminate enemies with low health. The Implacable Foe is the default enchantment granting you a temporary shield buff after damaging an enemy.

There are two possible upgrade paths: Death March and See the End. If you are aggressive and want to see your enemies down for the count, you can go for See the End, and this can taunt nearby enemies after you finish one of their allies. For Death March, this can give you a speed boost and damage reduction for a short duration.

Unique Great Hammers packs a mean swing, and it would be a mistake not to have any of these three. While these things can deal an insane amount of damage, each swing takes time to wind up and a great deal of stamina. Nevertheless, these things can have decent defense stats to compensate for the weight.
