The granite maul is a two-handed melee weapon that requires 50 Strength and Attack to wield. They are dropped by gargoyles (75 Slayer required), which are in the Slayer Tower.

Players can use a granite clamp to cosmetically enhance the granite maul. This causes the maul to become untradeable, and the clamp is not returned upon reverting the maul back to its original state.

Players can use an ornate maul handle to enhance the granite maul into a granite maul (ornate handle), which reduces its special attack cost from 60% to 50%. The ornate handle is obtained from Justine's stuff for the Last Shopper Standing.

Special attack

A player performing the granite maul's special attack, Quick Smash.

The granite maul's special attack, Quick Smash, consumes 60% of the player's special attack energy and deals an instant attack. This is reduced to 50% when using a granite maul (ornate handle).

With the handle added, the special attack can result in two or three hits in a very short amount of time, making it a popular choice for player killing. If the three hits are timed correctly, the granite maul can kill instantly. However, one drawback is that unlike most special attacks, Quick Smash does not increase accuracy.

It is commonly used in the Nightmare Zone in conjunction with the Power surge power-up. Because Quick Smash can be performed rapidly under the effect of Power surge, the granite maul is able to put out more total damage than other special attacks for as long as the power-up is active.

Note: Initiating combat with the granite maul's special attack is wasteful as the player character will not deal an instant hit afterwards, with the regular delay occurring instead.

Trivia

  • In 2015, a major glitch was discovered involving the granite maul's special attack in combination with trying to perform a logout during combat, known as a fake logout. If done correctly, any entity (monster and player) would be unable to attack the player, effectively making them invincible. This also had additional side effects such as a Pest Control game involving the player who performed the exploit never actually ending. This exploit was most notably used against the Corporeal Beast.
  • Its inventory sprite resembles that of the rock hammer. Prior to the debut of the Grand Exchange, this item's implication in scams was prevalent. Still, it is advisable to exercise caution when dealing with these items in the trade screen.
  • The model for the clamp variant was originally polled as the "hardened granite maul" with its crush attack increased to +95 and crumbling to dust after 1,000 hits. It was first polled without a Defence requirement, and then it was polled with a 50 Defence requirement. Despite failing both polls, it was later added as a cosmetic upgrade.
