The Large Leather Shield is a medium shield in Dark Souls II.
In-Game Description
- A leather-covered shield. Preferred by hunters.
- Inferior to metal shields in terms of stability and physical damage reduction, but easy to use and weighing so little that it hardly requires any strength to bear.
Availability[]
The shield can be found in the Forest of Fallen Giants in the room with the Crystal Lizard below the Cardinal Tower bonfire.
Characteristics[]
Boasting physical defense on par with some greatshields but at a fraction of the weight and decent elemental defenses, this can make a good choice of shield for the early game. Its lack of stability however will render it of little use against the larger, heavy hitting foes.
