}Weapon behavior
Strength scaling affects shield attack damage, not its damage-blocking percentages. Extra Strength does not improve stability once the requirements are met.
Blocks 80% magic alongside complete ordinary physical protection. Its fire reduction is only 55%; Dragon Crest Shield is the more fire-focused counterpart.
Reinforcement and comparison
Reduces blocked physical damage by 100%, magic by 80%, fire by 55% and lightning by 45%. Starts with 55 stability. Stability controls the stamina spent on a block, separately from health damage that gets through.
Reinforce to +5 with Twinkling Titanite. On this path, stability rises from 55 to 66; the listed damage-blocking percentages stay unchanged. Has no elemental conversion paths.

Northern Undead Asylum
Requirements
- Open the Firelink-to-Parish lift shortcut.
- Ride the Parish lift up from Firelink and step onto the upper ruins before the lift reaches the church. Follow the broken arches and stairs toward the large crow's nest.
- Curl up in the nest and wait to be carried back to the Asylum. Avoid the middle of the old boss courtyard, where the floor can collapse into another boss fight.
- Return to the room where Oscar originally gave you Estus. Defeat his hollowed form and collect Crest Shield.
Notes
- Requirements and weight: Requires 10 Strength and weighs 3.
- Blocking at base reinforcement: Reduces blocked physical damage by 100%, magic by 80%, fire by 55% and lightning by 45%. Starts with 55 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 +5 with Twinkling Titanite. On this path, stability rises from 55 to 66; the listed damage-blocking percentages stay unchanged. Has no elemental conversion paths.
- 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.
- Magic specialization: Blocks 80% magic alongside complete ordinary physical protection. Its fire reduction is only 55%; Dragon Crest Shield is the more fire-focused counterpart.
