Been a long time since I played that one. I still had some text dumps from some online guides. I think I got them from www.gamefaqs.com -- I hit that site up a lot whenever I get stuck on a game.

I think there were a few places to get the hammer, or maybe it was just refills, I forget. I'll paste what I found about the section where I think you are when I searched one of them, but be warned--this has some spoilers in it!

BATTLEFIELD
Items in this section: None
This section is pretty straightforward. Head towards the west, avoiding
as many enemies as you can, and eventually you'll run across the opposing
general, Vox.

Boss: Vox
30000 HP, 20000 MP
Battle Trophies Opportunities: None
Vox is like a vamped up version of Demetrio. Use the same sorts of
strategies and make sure you have plenty of curing items on stock, and you
should be just fine. Again, Nel's Aerial is an excellent tactic.

After defeating Vox there will be another long event. Head back east
across the battlefield, for yet ANOTHER long event. When it's all over you'll
be back in Aquios. Head to Dion's room in the castle for ANOTHER event,
then to the inn to pick up Amina. Take her back to Dion's room to trigger
yet ANOTHER series of events, probably the longest in the game. Meet the
Queen and eventually you'll also gain another party member, Maria Traitor.
Then head to the chapel on the first floor of the castle for ANOTHER event.
Talk to the priest standing by the stairs to get some Vanish Hammers,
then finally head down the stairs towards the next dungeon. (This whole
series of events will likely take you 30 minutes to an hour, so be prepared.)

IMMORALITY WAY
Items in this section: Blueberry, Cooking Materials, Luna Talisman, Gold
Chain, Blackberry, Enchant Book (Earth: Null)
Map Completion: 1/60 Bunny
After descending down the stairs, head straight forward for a loooooong walk,
and then finally you'll be in Immorality Way. Head straight forward into the
first room. There is a large blob monster here; he's pretty strong so try and
avoid him if at all possible. Grab the two treasure chests in the back, and
then examine the statue in the northwest corner of the room. There will be
a switch here. Press it. Exit back to the first room and now enter the door to
the east. Follow the path around and you'll see some blocks moving up and
down. Head across the blocks and then enter the north door. In the next room,
you can head west (avoiding the two blocks) to get another treasure chest.
Then head north under the three moving blocks and enter the east door.
In this next room, head across further east. You'll find that there's cracks
in the east wall. Use the Vanish Hammer here (by pressing square and then
pressing circle when the cracks highlight) and a path will open up to
two treasure chests, including the Gold Chain, which you should equip on
Nel or Maria. Go back to the previous room and now enter the northwest door.
There'll be a save point here, so make sure you save, before navigating
under the group of six blocks. Head north. You'll find another blob monster
here and a group of two, unmoving blocks to the west. Avoid the monster and
head north, then east. In this next corridor, look along the south wall for
another cracked wall. Use the vanish hammer again and enter. Examine the
statue for another switch. Leave by the same way you came in and head east.
There will be a treasure chest in this room containing a Luna Talisman. At
this point you can continue on south through a one way door, or backtrack.
Either way make your way back to the save point, save, and now continue west
through the two blocks that previously were not moving. Now you'll face a
boss.

Boss: Floating Knight
17000 HP, 240 MP
Battle Trophies Opportunities: None
He's strong but not terribly fast. His move "Sword Quake" can really take
out your guys in a matter of seconds, so be prepared to heal. I suggest
hanging back with either Nel or Maria and letting Fayt and Cliff keep him
busy. Long range attacks are the way to go. If your Nel is high enough
to have Kokuyousen by this point, this will last very very short; otherwise
killing him with MP damage via Maria's Aiming Device also makes it easy.

After defeating the Floating Night, enter the north entrance and you'll be
in the Shrine of Kaddan.

Good Luck!

before you go in the secret underground tunnel (still in the castle), talk to the girl next to the stairs and she should give you the hammer.
