Sacred Chime Hammer is a weapon in Dark Souls 2.

Great hammer of the Royal Aegis.

The power of the hammer's blessing has not faded completely, despite being exposed to the dark of the Undead Crypt.

Unleash its latent power with a strong attack.

Sir Velstadt, known as the Royal Aegis, gave himself to the King both in life and death. 

Acquired From:

• Weaponsmith Ornifex: traded for Soul of Velstadt, and 3,000 souls.

Hints and Tips:

• Upgraded with Petrified Dragon Bone, to +5. Cannot be infused with Bleed.
• Fulfilling all the stat requirements (it's enough to have half of required STR) allows the two-handed strong attack to emit a spread of dark orbs after a small cast time, similar to that of Velstadt. These orbs drain stamina if they are not blocked much like all dark magic. It also has homing similar to Affinity, and the sigil of Scraps of Life, but the orb's landing location is fixed once it's locked on, unlike Affinity.
• Recommended to infuse with Dark to increase the power of the special attack.
• Extremely devastating if paired with Affinity under 60 attunemet, 65 Int+Faith, not only 10 orbs can catch people off-guard, it also protects you when you're casting the special attack.
• Highly recommended to powerstance with Dark Crypt Blacksword +5 with either one buffed with Dark Weapon.
• Consumes very low stamina for a weapon of its class. With 30 END, you can do 6 one handed R1s and 5 two handed R1s before stamina runs out. For comparison, the Crypt Blacksword, a potential competitor for the Sacred Chime Hammer, can just barely do 5 one handed R1s and 4 two handed R1s with the same endurance. And compared to the Demon's Great Hammer, a weapon of the same class with a similar moveset, but no dark damage, it is even more dramatic. With 30 END, the Demon's Great Hammer can do 4 one handed R1s and 4 two handed R1s.
