The Ethereal Oak Shield is a medium shield in Dark Souls III: Ashes of Ariandel.

In-Game Description

Charbronze shield used by Millwood Knights that slowly regenerates HP.
This shield appears to be blessed by a great, if faded, image of the ethereal oak.
Skill: Weapon Skill
Equipping this shield in the left hand allows one to perform the Skill of the right hand weapon.

Availability[]

Found in the Painted World of Ariandel, on a corpse found in a tower of the Millwood ruins. The corpse is located at the bottom half of the tower after going up a ladder and then going down the stairs.

Characteristics[]

A strong medium shield, the Ethereal Oak Shield possesses several beneficial characteristics that makes it a very popular tool.

With high elemental resistances save Fire and 100% physical absorption, it is capable of warding off most types of damage very effectively. Additionally, when wielded it regenerates HP at a rate of 2 points per second, the equivalent to what a fully upgraded Blessed infusion is capable of. It also allows the wielder to perform the skill of the main-hand weapon, allowing for high moveset flexibility.

The only real drawback to this shield is its comparatively low stability, which does not increase meaningfully with upgrades, making it unsuitable for blocking multiple successive attacks.
