Enter Frenzy for the first time outside the tutorial.
Evidence: 2 official · Last verified: 2026-11-14 · Sources: 1
Hammer Time is completed by entering Frenzy for the first time outside the tutorial in ForgeTax. The key distinction is between charging Frenzy and actually activating it: the official store description says to forge the same sword 10 times, then unleash Frenzy on the next hit. [src-4d2e93b2d8]
How to Complete
-
Play outside the tutorial.
The objective explicitly excludes tutorial Frenzy activations. If you have already entered Frenzy during the tutorial, you still need to enter it outside that setting to complete Hammer Time. -
Heat a blade and bring it to the anvil.
This is the forging sequence described on the official store page. Successful strikes increase the sword’s value, but forging also carries the risk of shattering it. [src-4d2e93b2d8] -
Forge the same sword 10 times to charge Frenzy.
Keep your attention on a single sword rather than treating strikes across different swords as interchangeable. The official description specifically says that forging the same sword 10 times charges Frenzy. [src-4d2e93b2d8] -
Make the next hit to unleash Frenzy.
Do not stop simply because you have reached the charging requirement. The store description separates charging Frenzy from unleashing it, stating that it activates on the next hit. Entering that state outside the tutorial fulfills Hammer Time’s objective. [src-4d2e93b2d8]
Tips and Common Mistakes
Charging Is Not the Final Step
Think of the process as two stages: forge the same sword 10 times to charge Frenzy, then deliver the next hit to unleash it. If you stop after charging, you have not yet performed the activation described by the official store page. [src-4d2e93b2d8]
Do Not Confuse It With the +10 Achievement
The achievement list separately identifies One More Hit? as forging any sword to +10 for the first time. Hammer Time instead checks whether you enter Frenzy outside the tutorial, so reaching a displayed sword level is not a substitute for its stated objective. [src-9a24f3ac8e]
One Activation Is Enough
You do not need to enter Frenzy repeatedly for Hammer Time. The separate achievement No Rest for the Hammer requires entering Frenzy five times in one run; that is not Hammer Time’s requirement. [src-9a24f3ac8e]
Completion and Rewards
The confirmed completion condition is your first Frenzy activation outside the tutorial. Hammer Time is listed as a Steam achievement, but the supplied official material does not specify an additional in-game reward. [src-9a24f3ac8e]
