Bone-Cracker
The Bone-Cracker was a heavy mace with a spiked, cylindrical head dating to the 1st century BCE Egypt. While cumbersome to wield on account of its weight, its power made it highly effective as a weapon to end fights, usually gruesomely.
Given its qualities, the weapon was favored by the largest soldiers in the Ptolemaic army,[1] though the Phylakitai Gennadios also had a weapon like this in his possession.[2]

Behind the scenes[edit | edit source]
The model of the Bone-Cracker, a weapon in Assassin's Creed: Origins, was recycled as the model of the Morning Star, a weapon in Assassin's Creed: Odyssey, and its kind. The model of this weapon seems to be based on a mace from Roman Egypt dated to 30 B.C.–A.D. 364 which is now at the Metropolitan Museum of Art with accession number "15.2.6a, b".[3]
In the cinematic trailer of Assassin's Creed: Origins, a soldier is shown wielding a weapon akin to the Bone-Cracker as he attacks the Medjay Bayek of Siwa in defense of a member of the Order of the Ancients.
