Weapon behavior

Strength scaling affects shield attack damage, not its damage-blocking percentages. Extra Strength does not improve stability once the requirements are met.

Reinforcement and comparison

Reduces blocked physical damage by 100%, magic by 30%, fire by 70% and lightning by 50%. Starts with 53 stability. Stability controls the stamina spent on a block, separately from health damage that gets through.

Reinforce to +15 with ordinary Titanite materials. On this path, stability rises from 53 to 66; the listed damage-blocking percentages stay unchanged. Andre needs the Large Ember for +5 to +6 and the Very Large Ember for +10 to +11.

In-game description

Weapon type: Shield
Attack type: Strike

The bloodshield spoken of in the lost
legends. The red of blood is slightly
enchanted, and boosts various resistances.

Where to find

Corpse pickup

Painted World of Ariamis

Requirements

Have the Peculiar Doll and reach the Painted World.

Enter the Anor Londo painting with the Peculiar Doll. From the Painted World's upper building route, reach the long bridge occupied by the Undead Dragon.
The shield is the farther equipment pickup near the dragon, beyond the soul item. Defeat the dragon before looting, or approach and retreat carefully when it wakes.
Collect Bloodshield from the corpse. It is a bridge pickup, not a drop from defeating Priscilla.

Notes

Requirements and weight: Requires 10 Strength and weighs 3.
Blocking at base reinforcement: Reduces blocked physical damage by 100%, magic by 30%, fire by 70% and lightning by 50%. Starts with 53 stability. Stability controls the stamina spent on a block, separately from health damage that gets through.
Parrying: Can parry with the left-hand strong input. A successful parry opens an eligible enemy to a riposte with your attacking weapon; it does not make every attack parryable.
Reinforcement: Reinforce to +15 with ordinary Titanite materials. On this path, stability rises from 53 to 66; the listed damage-blocking percentages stay unchanged. Andre needs the Large Ember for +5 to +6 and the Very Large Ember for +10 to +11.
Conversion choices: Magic, Fire and Lightning conversions change attack damage and the corresponding elemental guarding instead of continuing the normal path's stability improvements. Divine adds Faith-scaled magical attack damage, rather than Faith-scaled blocking. Crystal can improve stability on suitable shields but sharply reduces durability and prevents ordinary repairs.
Attack scaling: Strength scaling affects shield attack damage, not its damage-blocking percentages. Extra Strength does not improve stability once the requirements are met.
Temporary shield spells: Magic Shield and Strong Magic Shield can temporarily strengthen the left-hand guard when cast with a catalyst in the right hand. They replace one another, and two-handing the other weapon removes the shield enchantment. These are different from resins and melee weapon-enchantment spells.
Status resistance: Raises bleed, poison, toxic and curse resistance by 50% while active. This increases the amount of buildup you can withstand; it does not give immunity or cure an existing status.
On your back: The resistance bonus remains useful while two-handing your other weapon with Bloodshield on your back. It is separate from blocking an incoming attack.
