11 Ortrom Solas, the Divine Hammer of Basil, is one of the four obtainable Divine weapons in Alabaster Dawn's launch build. It is a slow, weighty melee weapon dealing Blunt damage. Ortrom Solas is the strongest stagger-pressure weapon available at launch, and it doubles as a traversal tool: certain Blunt-only obstacles can only be broken by hammer attacks.

1111 How To Obtain

1313 Ortrom Solas is awarded by the gods during the Branching Out subquest of Unyielding Solidarity, in the Red Forest section of Koro Valley. Acquiring the hammer is mandatory because the path forward is blocked by Blunt-only rocks, and Juno does not have any other Blunt weapon at that point. Other Chosen use a hammer-form Divine weapon during the prologue, but Ortrom Solas itself is unique to Juno's run.

3232 Hold attack after the first hit of Rock n' Roll, then keep mashing attack to swing the hammer wildly indefinitely. The combo can be slowly redirected, but it leaves Juno exposed to enemy attacks. The timing is tricky to master because it requires the player to attack, then briefly charge the second hit, then mash. Excellent for filling the break bar against single tough targets when used safely.
