Warhammers in Oblivion Remastered are cumbersome two-handed weapons that deliver massive blunt weapon damage with slow swings. While not the most practical tools of war in your arsenal, the role-playing potential of wielding two-handed behemoths that crush and stagger foes is hard to argue against. To facilitate such power fantasies, let’s go through the heaviest and most sought-after Warhammers across Cyrodiil and beyond.

Top 5 Warhammers in Oblivion Remastered

5) Glass Warhammer

  • Max Damage: 24
  • Health: 576
  • Base Value: 1500
  • Weight: 75

A surprisingly elegant weapon, the Glass Warhammer stands out with an emerald hue that belies its destructive capability. Though lighter than some Warhammer, it becomes a solid mid-game option when enchanted through Sigil Stones or an Altar of Enchanting. You can find it in loot around level 12 in forts and caves, in addition to Fanacas, Imperial City Sewers, and Lipsand Tarn.

4) Pounder

  • Max Damage: 20
  • Enchantment:
    • Burden 50 pts for 25 secs
    • Drain Strength 7 pts for 25 secs
    • Drain Speed 7 pts for 25 secs
    • 800 Charge, 6 Uses
  • Health: 400
  • Base Value: 798
  • Weight: 57

The Pounder is a unique and rare enchanted weapon that can be found in dungeons past level 8. It has the appearance of a Dwarven Warhammer but stops targets in their tracks with Drain Speed and Burden enchantments while reducing their melee potential with Drain Strength. 

3) Volendrung

  • Max Damage: 20
  • Enchantment:
    • Paralyze for 3 secs on Strike
    • Drain Health 5 pts for 20 secs on Strike
    • 2500 Charge, 16 Uses
  • Health: 3200
  • Base Value: 5362
  • Weight: 60

A legendary hammer known for its importance to the dwarves, the weapon was lost to one of their most hated foes, the Daedric Prince Malacath. You can reclaim the nigh unbreakable artifact from the deity’s talons by completing the Daedric quest, Malacath.

To start the quest, head north of Anvil to Malacath’s Shrine, speak with Shobob gro-Rugdush, and offer Troll Fat. You must be at least level 10. Although its charge and uses are somewhat limited, Volendrung’s Paralyze enchantment leaves enemies helpless under your crushing blows. 

2) Daedric Warhammer

  • Max Damage: 28
  • Health: 784
  • Base Value: 5000
  • Weight: 93

With an imposing black-metal finish and devastating base damage, the Daedric Warhammer is a reliable late-game weapon when combined with enchantments, high Strength, and Blunt skill. This menacing weapon appears in loot starting at level 20 and is frequently wielded by high-ranking Dremora in Oblivion Gates.

1) Amber Hammer (Perfect)

  • Max Damage: 29
  • Enchantment:
    • Damage Health 20 pts
    • 4150 Charge, 75 Uses
  • Health: 840
  • Base Value: 7782
  • Weight: 98

Note: All values except the type of enchantment vary based on player level. 

The Perfect Amber Hammer is an end-game two-handed weapon from the Shivering Isles that secures the top spot with even greater maximum damage than Daedric Warhammer. To craft the weapon, deliver amber to Dumag gro-Bonk at The Missing Pauldron in Bliss during ‘The Antipodean Hammer’ quest. Providing an Amber Matrix will add the devastating Damage Health enchantment, accompanied by a vast charge to supply it.
