Malformed Skull is a weapon in Dark Souls 2.
The skull of some unidentified creature. Swing as a great hammer to use as a weapon.
Possibly the skull of a dragon. A good choice, likely too rare to be swung about willy-nilly.
Acquired From
- Dropped by Undead Aberration in lower Sinners' Rise and Aldia's Keep
- Dropped by a mimic close to the first bonfire of Aldia's Keep in a corner outside the main building. (sotfs)
Hints and Tips:
- Upgraded with regular Titanite. Cannot be infused with Bleed.
- Weapon only has 20 durability and will break quickly. Bracing Knuckle Ring +2 is recommended.
- This weapon is ideal Raw as it has no scaling at all.
- As it only requires 17 Str and 7 Dex to two-hand, this allows plenty of points to be sunk into Vit, End, Vig, and Adp while still maintaining huge damage output.
- Minimum power stance requirement is 53 Str and 11 Dex, under Raw infusion, Ring of Blades +2 and fully upgraded both hammers, it inflicts 1919 damage at max for powerstance strong attack.

Having a broken one of these is fun to smash enemies with as it does no damage but still pancakes them

"very powerful in PvP"
This thing is probably one of the worst greathammers in PvP, and the greathammer class is bottom tier in PvP.

This is one of the best weapons, its easy to obtain, no boss souls, can be infused and has one of the highest damage ingame with an average weight (most high damage weapons are over 20 weight)

I have this infused with magic, and for some reason the damage isn't going up when I level intelligence. Does anyone know why? (It has a C in intelligence scaling rn)

This weapon is nostalgic to me because I got it dropped from that enemy in Sinner's rise back in DS2 vanilla and used it throughout almost the entire game, up until the DLC
