An ancient, stained hammer once carried by General Engstrom.

Hidden lore — revealed in game at high Inferno

General Engstrom gave his dual hammers the names he did as an insult to the Judges, disgusted as he was by the heretical hubris of the three beings who sought to overthrow Adyr, and the weapons shed the blood of countless rebels before Engstrom eventually fell to a poisoned blade.

Set bonus — Judgement and Punishment

This weapon is tagged as part of a set in the game files, which means equipping it with the rest grants something. What that something is has not been read out of the ability data yet, so it is listed rather than described.

Equip alongside:

What it takes

Meet the weapon's stat requirements and the special attack is available — at any upgrade level, with no quest to finish first. The pairing above is still required: both weapons have to be equipped.

Set membership is read from the weapon's own ItemTags in the game files. Unlock conditions were removed by patch 2.5.593 on 15 August 2026; before it, several of these were gated behind questlines. The game itself never mentions any of this.
