The Large Leather Shield is a medium shield in Dark Souls III.

In-Game Description

Orthodox round shield covered with leather.
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[]

Sold by the Shrine Handmaid for 800 souls.

Characteristics[]

Nearly identical to the Round Shield in terms of defense, but provides higher lightning and dark absorption in exchange for less magic absorption and a very minute decrease in physical defense.

Overall, this makes the shield a well-balanced shield that has a very low Strength requirement, but it does lack in higher stability, which may make it unattractive when dealing with heavy-hitting foes.

Notes[]

Upgrades[]

Reinforced with Titanite.
