To begin the Hammer and Tongs quest in Banishers, approach the blacksmith’s forge in Hunters’ Camp.
Hammer and Tongs Walkthrough
Investigate the haunting
At the forge, inspect the following items:
- Nails on the table outside the forge
- Drill-bit on the table inside the forge
- Empty tool table in the forge
- Gunk on the ground by the anvil
To the right of the door, speak with the woman named Nellie to learn about her husband. After speaking with her, head inside her house. Read the notes on each nightstand by the bed then interact with the bed.
Next, you must use the ritual circle to perform the Harkening Ritual.
Find Fortune
Exit the house then pass through the forge. On the other side, you’ll find some footprints. Investigate them then switch to Antea. Interact with the footprints again then follow the trail northeast of the Hunters’ Camp.
You’ll reach a house with wolves outside. Defeat the wolves to trigger a cutscene with Fortune.
Inspect the tools in the cabin
Head inside the cabin and inspect the box of tools on the table.
Find the hammer
Since you noticed the hammer is missing, use your weapon to break the board blocking the back door. Head outside then switch to Antea to pick up a trail. Follow the spectral stains to a quarry where you’ll see the hammer below.
To reach the hammer, turn around and take a right. Follow the path around, climbing up the rock. Overlook the quarry to find a jump point you can use with Antea.
Head east and jump across the bridge then take the rope down.
From there, you’ll be able to reach the hammer. As you approach the hammer, you’ll be attacked by a group of enemies. Take them out then interact with the hammer.
Uncover the ghost’s true identity
After the scene, use the ritual circle to perform the Make-Manifest Ritual. The ghost will spawn a little ways away.
Head over and speak with him to learn more about the situation.
Return to the forge
Before returning to the forge, you can rest at the High Cave Camp, which is south of the area where you found the hammer.
There you’ll find a treasure map!
When you’re ready, return to the forge and speak with the couple. You’ll then need to make your decision to blame Nellie or Arther or Ascend or Banish Fortune Heayton.
After you’ve made your choice, the Hammer and Tongs haunting case will end.
