Call of Duty: WWII

This trophy is for obtaining the Hammer weapon and upgrading it. Note that only the person that completes the trial will earn the trophy.

Here are the steps to this trophy:

Step 1: Find the 4 stones around the map.

These have set locations that never change:

1. Ice Caves, on the right side of where the weapon slots are.
2. Morgue, behind the Armour machine on the top floor.
3. Archives, in a fireplace to the right of the perk machine.
4. Blood Altar, next to the pressure plate above, along the cliff edge.

Once you find all 4, go to the Overlook, and place them on the bridge by the waterfall. There are 4 square shaped holes that these go into.

Step 2: Obtain the battery and charge it.

Underneath the Luftwaffe wallbuy in Spawn, you’ll see a battery there. Pick it up and carry it to the Overlook bridge. There’s an empty cauldron next to where you placed the stones in Step 1, place the battery in that.

Now get a bunch of zombie kills until it powers up. You need to be very close for them to register. There’s no prompt for completing this though, so make sure you keep an eye out for when it’s charged (it will have a faint purple glow to it).

Step 3: Use the hidden runes to spawn the Hammer.

When you placed the stones in Step 1, they stop the waterfall and reveal some rune icons. You can only view these from the opposite side near the Armour machine, but there will be 4 runes. Read them from left to right, and then find those runes along the stones surrounding the waterfall. You need to get exactly 1 kill at each in the order of the runes given. If done properly, the Hammer will spawn in the middle.

The Hammer will teleport away from you if you approach it, so go prone (hold ), and crawl up to it while holding to get it to move away without disappearing.

Step 4: Fix the lightning pillars and obtain the Hammer.

Once the Hammer spawned in, you may have noticed 4 pillars have spawned in the Overlook, each with a lightning pattern on it. 2 of them are broken though. You need to shoot at the sections of the pillar to rotate them into facing forwards.

When you shoot one section, that one moves 180 degrees, whereas the ones above and below move just 90 degrees. You need to shoot them until they line up and turn on.

Once all 4 are on, run towards the Hammer in a way to make it go back to the Overlook. The lightning will zap the Hammer and you can take it now!

Step 5: Power up the 3 runes.

You may want to get Stamin Up for this. It’s located on the Overlook near where the Hammer spawned.

At Spawn there will be an “R” shaped rune that is lit up with electricity. You need to hit it with with the Hammer, then carry that electric charge to the Ice Caves, where another rune sits just to the left of the entrance. If you hit it before the charge disappears that rune will light up. If not, just try again.

Repeat by doing the same with this rune, to bring the charge to a rune in the Morgue. This one is above the Blood Pool, directly on the left as you enter.

The final rune is very hard to get solo, and is recommended to do with a partner. The final rune is located above the entrance to the Phylactery and is very hard to see because it’s so small. What you need to do is kill a zombie with the charged Hammer right underneath it (The best spot to hit one is right where you activate the Furnace for the Scythe).

If done correctly, the rune above will light up, and start zapping any zombies that walk underneath it.

Step 6: Solve the Wall Puzzle in the Blood Altar.

In the hallway connecting the Phylactery and the Blood Altar, there is a wall with raven symbols on it, it’s on the right side of the hallway and is near impossible to miss.

Equip your Hammer, and you’ll see it’s charged, so look underneath the symbols and you’ll see a small “R” rune down below. Hit that with to activate the puzzle.

Solve the puzzle by hitting/shooting the symbols to light them all up. When you hit one, all surrounding ones will also turn on/off, so just keep trying until it’s solved. It’s not too bad once you understand how the game works. You have to complete 3 rounds to finish this step.
Also be careful of the skulls in the later rounds. If you shoot a symbol adjacent to a skull, it will turn on and reset that puzzle.

Step 7: Complete the Trial!

Once the puzzle wall is done, head back to the Overlook, and look towards the Volcano. On the edge of the cliff, you’ll notice 2 stones that look like they form the edge of a walkway. Stand between those with the hammer equipped, and walk straight off the edge. Zombies can still walk on air like you can so be careful to kill them so you don’t die.

After walking forward enough, you will rise and teleport to the trial arena.

This trial is pretty easy, just kill all the zombies that spawn. Some of the later ones have purple shields surrounding them, you need to throw the Hammer at them with to take off the shield before you can kill them. Once that’s done the trial is complete and the trophy is yours!
