The dragon warhammer is a warhammer that requires 60 Strength to wield and is currently one of the strongest warhammers available (second only to the Statius Warhammer) in Old School RuneScape. It is obtained as an extremely rare drop from Lizardman shamans.

The dragon warhammer can be used as a substitute for a regular hammer when banging the big door at the entrance of Bandos' Stronghold in the God Wars Dungeon, as well as in the Chambers of Xeric to stun Jewelled Crabs and build any storage chest (with the required mallignum root planks and Construction level). It can also be used in the Tombs of Amascut to repair the pillars in the monkey puzzle of the Path of Apmeken.

The dragon warhammer is popular for its special attack, as it can drastically reduce the opponent's defence and make them an easier target. Additionally, it is a popular weapon among strength pures due to the lack of an Attack requirement and considerable damage output.

As with most dragon equipment, the dragon warhammer cannot be made from raw materials using the Smithing skill.

Special attack

A player performing the dragon warhammer's special attack.

The dragon warhammer has a special attack, Smash, which deals 50% more damage, while lowering the target's current Defence level by 30% on successful hit (i.e. the hit has to deal damage). This attack consumes 50% of the player's special attack energy.

Defence level reductions will stack over multiple successful hits; each reduction is calculated from the current temporary level (so follow-up drains reduce fewer levels). The Defence level of the target after each respective hit, with no rounding, would be 70%, 49%, 34.3%, 24%, 16.8% then 11.8% of the original. However, fractional defence levels reduced by the special attack will be rounded down.

For example, on a monster with 75 Defence, the first special attack will reduce 22 levels (rounded down from 22.5), leaving the enemy at 53 Defence. The next special attack will then reduce 15 levels (rounded down from 15.6), leaving the enemy at 38 Defence.

When used against Tekton, the first special attack from a dragon warhammer is guaranteed to hit, however, if subsequent attack were to fail to hit, it will instead reduce 5% of his Defence level.

The dragon warhammer can be considered a one-handed variant of the Bandos godsword. While its bonuses may not be as high (and all of its attack styles being crush), it can be used with an avernic or dragon defender to boost its accuracy rate. Unlike the Bandos godsword, dragon warhammer's special attack does not lower offensive stats even if the opponent's Defence is zero.

Trivia

The inaccessible stone chest containing two dragon warhammers, between the second and third shaman chambers.

• The dragon warhammer's special attack animation and effect are similar to that of Statius's warhammer.
