During the first part of the game, a hammer is briefly used by Cinna, aptly named Hammer, which he is very attached to. The Hammer can later be obtained by the player from Queen Stella by collecting all 13 Stellazzio coins.

It can be used to synth the strongest body armor in the game: the Tin Armor (or to split a completed Pumice back into two Pumice Pieces). There being only one, if left in the player's inventory, it triggers an extra scene in the game's ending.
