The Knight Shield is a medium shield in Dark Souls III.
In-Game Description
- Orthodox shield of the kind commonly used by low-ranking knights.
- Medium shields are the most average of shields, providing a practical balance of damage absorption, stability and weight.
- Skill: Parry
Repel an attack at the right time to follow up with a critical hit. Works while equipped in either hand.
Availability[]
- Starting equipment for the Knight class.
- Sold by Greirat of the Undead Settlement for 1,500 souls once he returns from pillaging the Undead Settlement.
- Sold by the Shrine Handmaid once she has been given Greirat's Ashes, provided that he has returned from pillaging the Undead Settlement.
Characteristics[]
Possessing moderate stability and 100% absorption against physical damage, the Knight Shield is a very useful shield for the beginning of the game. It has moderate defenses against most common early-game elemental damage as well.
However, it is eventually outstripped as more and better medium shield options become available.
