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[]
- One can be traded with Pickle Pee in exchange for a Twinkling Titanite (only once per playthrough).
Upgrades[]
Reinforced with Titanite.
