Colossal weapons are some of the coolest weapons in all of Elden Ring. The massive armaments usually require immense Strength to wield and can be downright punishing if players can get used to their slow and methodical pace. There are quite a few colossal weapons to be uncovered in the Lands Between but one of the most imposing is the Giant Crusher. This colossal hammer can dish out some serious damage and requires a multitude of Strength just to wield.
Thankfully, the hefty hammer isn't too difficult to find, but it is being guarded by a particularly annoying field boss, one that can really give players trouble if they're unfamiliar with its strange attack patterns. Here's a look at where players can find the Giant Crusher in Elden Ring and exactly what the massive weapon does.

Thankfully, it's pretty easy to find for those that know where to look. To better help players find the Giant Crusher location in Elden Ring, the following guide has been updated to include a companion video.
Where To Find The Giant Crusher Colossal Hammer In Elden Ring
Those that want to get their hands on this imposing crushing weapon early may be disappointed to find out it's discovered in a pretty difficult mid-to-late game area. Thankfully, it's "out in the open" for players to discover, but getting to the zone will require players to deal with another rather difficult boss, or travel to great lengths to collect a Key Item. Those that think they can handle the might of Magma Wyrm Makar and his punishing fire attacks can make their way to the Ruin Strewn-Precipice and do battle with the boss at the top of the area, granting them access to Altus Plateau shortly after. Players that want to take a less punishing approach can find the twin pieces of the Dectus Medallion and ride the Grand Lift of Dectus to the Altus Plateau proper.
Once players are in Altus Plateau, they'll need to ride to the South-Eastern part of the map, just outside Leyndell, Royal Capital at the Outer Wall Phantom Tree Site of Grace. From this Site of Grace, players can head directly South until they run into an encampment. It's suggested to take great caution as players get close, as a massive and frustrating field boss is laying dormant in the center of the circular camp.
The good thing is that it's entirely possible to sneak past the boss and head to the nearby large cart to grab the Giant Crusher. Players that don't want to tangle with the flailing Ulcerated Tree Spirit can simply sneak towards the cart, jump onto the back of it, and open the waiting chest to snag the colossal hammer. That said, those that can brave the fight against the often-frustrating boss will receive a Golden Seed if they manage to defeat it.
