Stalhrim Warhammer

A two-handed warhammer of enchanted ice with 26 base damage, forged from Stalhrim and boosted by frost enchantments.

The Stalhrim Warhammer is a huge block of Solstheim’s magical ice on a handle, and it hits like one. With 26 base damage it beats the Ebony Warhammer by a point and lands just behind the Daedric Warhammer, while weighing 29.

It comes from the Dragonborn add-on and is forged through the ebony tier of the Smithing tree once you have access to stalhrim. Because stalhrim strengthens frost enchantments, it is a great base for a frost-themed two-hander. Pair it with Stalhrim Armor for the full frozen look.

Tips and notes

  • Forging needs Smithing 80, Ebony Smithing and the quest A New Source of Stalhrim finished. The recipe is five Stalhrim and three Leather Strips.
  • Temper it with one Stalhrim; Ebony Smithing doubles the improvement.
  • Frost Damage enchantments are 25% stronger on stalhrim items, matching the Frost Enchanter perk.
